Disclaimer: I want lots of things... but I won't steal them. I'll just have them willed to me illegally.

Last Time: Sesshoumaru finds boys annoying.


Daiyoukai and the Female Gender

Chapter 10: Daiyoukai and Crush

Present:

No. He wouldn't. He couldn't. He wouldn't give her away now! That boy was too... too... too immature. He couldn't provide for her, or himself really. Why choose him? If Rin really wanted... so soon... Couldn't she have waited? Sesshoumaru would have selected the best candidates. That... that boy didn't earn the right. Didn't even try courting her. No. This boy would not get Rin.

Earlier:

"Sesshoumaru-sama! I really like him."

"Who?"

"Daiki... He's nice and funny and fun and he likes flowers and-..." Sesshoumaru's eyes began to flicker.

"...me a plum and... and... Sesshoumaru-sama is something wrong?"

"Hey Rin, come play with me?"
"Okay Daiki! Coming!" Oh Kami. He had to go destroy a forest.

A bit later than Present:

The miko came to draw him out of his brood.

"You know. She doesn't mean it like that."

"Hn."

"She thinks of him as a friend."

"..." Like he'd fall for that.

"Besides, at worst, it's only a crush.

"Crush?"

"Yeah. Oh the meaning!" Would she get on with it?

"A short-lived infatuation." Oh. So this would be over.

"Hn."

"Although, children tend to go through a lot of crushes."

Looks like he was destroying that forest after all.
