Sesshoumaru's p.o.v

You were furious. You had the girl in your grasp, literally, yet failed to get her. That brother of hers, oh how you wanted to take his throat in your hands and slowly watch his life being drained from him, just in reparation for making you lose your girl. But you couldn't do that, you didn't even know where you were, let alone where he was. So, for the meantime, you took pleasure in tearing up a few trees. You walked around, trying to find a bearing, but soon found you had no clue to where you were. You muttered curses under your breath. Suddenly you felt a presence near you. You tensed, completely aware of your surroundings. Then, as suddenly as you tensed, you relaxed. A moment later, a woman walked out of the bushes around you. You nodded your head in recognition of her. She smiled warmly. "Sesshoumaru, it's been a while." she said. You smiled, a cold, bloodless smile. "What is it you want this time, Kagura?" you asked, audaciously. She smiled. "Is that any way to greet an ally?" she asked, provokingly. "What do you want!?" You demanded. "I've... been watching you Sesshoumaru. I thought, perhaps, you'd want to know where to find that girl you're so interested in." she answered, gallingly. You paused. "Do you know where she is?" you asked slowly. She nodded. "What do you want in return?" you enquired, sure you wouldn't like her answer. "What I've always wanted, Sesshoumaru." she replied, she turned, flouncing, flicking her hair a little. You stared at her, irritated. You paused, considering her proposal. Then, you nodded. "Take me to her" was all you said. However, you were thinking "This time it will be different. This time I'll get her." Kagura nodded, and jumped onto her feather. She beckoned for you to follow. You obeyed, having vague misgivings about the whole thing. She led you, flying on her feather, over a mountain, followed by a lake, until she finally landed. You looked around. She had taken you to 10 metres away from the girl, her brother and your hanyou brother's group. She turned to you for a moment. "There she is. Remember your side of the deal." she paused, then added. "You know, I used to think you had good taste. A human girl. I thought you hated humans. She would be useless to you, unlike a demon like me." she said, provocatively. "Leave Kagura" you said, angrily, a growl coming from your throat. She smirked, then jumped on her feather and flew away.

From a small distance, for the second time that day, you watched the group. They were setting up for the night, the girl and her brother in a conversation to the side. You covertly made your way around to the side where the girl was, cautiously getting closer and closer. You had to time this exactly right. The rest of the group, were lying down around a fire, slowly going to sleep. Your brother, Inuyasha, was on guard. You silently laughed at his abilties, him not even noticing you were around. You looked back at the girl. Her brother had settled down to sleep, but the girl was looking around puzzled. Suddenly she stood up. Inuyasha looked at her, confused, but she just smiled at him, and said "I'm going for a walk, be back soon" You almost shouted out in happiness. This will be even easier than you thought. She walked out into the bushes, and you made your way around to where she was. You followed behind her silently for a bit and then suddenly, she turned around. You hid yourself in a bush. You knew that she couldn't know you were there, otherwise she'd use her powers. She spoke, unexpectedly. "Sesshoumaru, I know you're there. What do you want with me? This is getting tiresome." You were startled. She's not a demon, so how did she sense you were there? She smiled. "You know Sesshoumaru. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you have a bit of a crush on me. Why else would you be stalking me?" she asked, mischievously. You came out of your hiding at that. "I don't have feelings for you, girl!" you said furiously. She smiled. "I knew that would make you come out." she paused. "So, let me guess... You're following me... stalking me because of your inane dislike of being crossed. I present to you, a challenge, and... " she took a deep breath "and you don't want to admit that you're defeated. Am I right?" Her words sunk in. Was she right? You didn't know, but you couldn't let her see your uncertainty, so you growled and answered "you could be of use to me. That is why I'm taking you back to my castle." She sighed. "Whatever you say..." she turned around. You looked at her back, wondering about the conversation, and what it all meant. No one had ever been able to bug you like this before. Her words... her words... they seeped into the very core of your being and rose... rose emotions and thoughts that had been suppressed and ignored. You stared at the back of her head, staring at her hair, tracing strands down to her lower back. Abruptly, you snapped out of it at the sound of her voice. "If you're going to take me away, try to SOMETIME soon. I'm getting bored just standing here." You smirked, thinking "she sure is used to getting her way." You walked slowly but determinedly towards her, wrapping your arms around her waist (two arms in this story. just so you know). You whispered in her ear "It wouldn't be so bad if you just obey me." She laughed. "Is that how you charm all the girls?" she asked sarcastically. Your arms tightened around her waist. "Don't be stupid, girl!" you hissed. Again, she laughed. "I'm not the one who's being stupid. I could be gone in a flash" at this she clicked her fingers and was out of your grasp, but standing a metre in front of you, facing you, "But you seem to forget my powers." she continued, looking at you with a questioning expression. "tell me, Sesshoumaru, the real reason you want me, and I will come with you, willingly." she offered. You thought to yourself. Even you did not know the real reason you wanted her. It seemed like it would be fun, and that she could be useful, but that didn't explain why you wanted her. She stood, watching you. "No?" she questioned. "Well then, I'm going. See you around." she added, before waving, turning around and walking away. Within an instant, you were directly behind her again, your hand over her mouth. You knocked her unconscious, so that she couldn't escape, and started to take her back to your castle.
