Motivation

I don't own Inu-Yasha and Co.

She was speechless, and if she was honest, a bit nervous as she watched police and CSI walk through the Taisho manner. Only fifteen minutes after Inu-Yasha called the police, they had arrived and were scouting the scene of the crime. Her crime. Her very bad crime of destroying two, utterly beautiful and horribly expensive cars. She suppressed a grimace. Maybe she should have thought this through a little bit more.

But Sesshou-Maru stood next to her, calm as you please, eyeing the police officers with distain. By what she'd learned of the youkai, from both Inu-Yasha and the few hours they'd spent talking, he didn't like others poking around one bit. In fact, he really didn't seem to like anyone he just met. She frowned. So, why did he invite her to tea?

Kagome snuck a glance to the inu daiyoukai standing next to her, the question of why he was being nice to her forming in her mind. He didn't know her, really, aside from the fact that she was Inu-Yasha's ex-girlfriend. He hated his younger half-brother, though why, Kagome had no idea. So it should go hand in hand that he would dislike her too.

"Excuse me, Officer Watanabe."

She jumped in surprise at Sesshou-Maru's sudden call, her eyes immediately falling to the more than likely Ookami police officer who had just found a certain, incriminating bat. The officer looked up inquiringly at the taller male.

"I do not think that is the weapon used to destroy the cars."

Kagome blinked in surprise. What was Sesshou-Maru thinking?! Did he really think that they cared if he thought it was the weapon or not? They had a job to do after all!

Officer Watanabe glanced at her, though, then smirked, "Of course not Taisho-sama."

Her jaw dropped open for the second time that day as she watched the officer toss over the bat, and Sesshou-Maru melt it with the acids in his claws. When it was just a pile of steaming goo on the concrete floor, the daiyoukai looked to her. He smirked and closed her mouth with a careful claw under her chin. "How unbecoming." He teased.

She blushed brightly, frowned up at him and hissed, "What's your motive?"

He blinked, "Pardon?"

She turned to face him head on, fists on her hips, "You don't even know me, and yet you're helping me. Why? What's your motivation?"

A smug smirk touched his – very delectable – lips, "How boorish you view this Sesshou-Maru. Can I not help a woman in need?"

Her glare made him smile, nearly taking her breath away. She stood strong, waiting for a real answer. She blushed brightly when he leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"Inu-Yasha's previous relations would simper and whine when they found he was being unfaithful. You, however, decide to get even, to destroy his prized possessions. It is admirable, worthy of my aid and attention."

Deceptively soft lips suddenly trailed over her jaw as he pulled away, making her gasp and jerk back in surprise. His gold eyes glowed with amusement and Kagome huffed, her cheeks as red as cherries.

"Besides, you've got a great backswing."

Kagome giggled.
