Chapter 3

Sesshomaru's point of view

Of all the things that I need this... this obsession is the last of them. Why do I find myself thinking about if she is safe? Why do I feel the need to know if she is in love with my pathetic excuse of a half-brother? Why when I need to be protecting Rin and my lands? Could she have put a curse upon this Sesshomaru? No she is a holy miko. So then why does the thought of her with that whelp bother me so? Why do I find myself wondering how she feels about me?

WHY DOES IT MATTER! I NEED NO ONE, NOTHING! ESPECIALLY FROM HER!


Kagome's point of view

"Keh, wench what's with all the sighing?," Inuyasha yells from in front of me. "Nothing Inuyasha.," I respond. 'I am just thinking about your older brother again.' I think to myself. What is it that draws me to him? Every single thing. He's stoic, but is that just a defensive mechanism? So that nobody can hurt him? Why do I feel the need to know if he has a special demoness? Why when I need to focus on finding the rest of the jewel shards? Has someone up there having fun with me? Why not, they did with Inuyasha. But how much is it the Kamis? How much of it is my own heart? Why do I find myself wondering how he feels for me?

WHY DOES IT MATTER?! IT'S NOT LIKE HE WOULD EVER CONSIDER ME!
