What had prompted this Sesshomaru to behave in such a deplorable manner?
A small wrinkled marred his normally smooth forehead.
The miko in her own right is attractive enough, for a human, but it doesn't explain my actions towards her or the fact that I read her journal. And letting her use my person as a towel.
The small wrinkle grew larger.
I even went as far as to kiss her, a ningen! Have I lost all my senses?
You know why you did it.
I refuse to believe that woman is meant to be my mate.
Refuse all you like, it doesn't change the fact that she is.
Why her? Why a human? Haven't you learned anything from father's mistake?
This is different and you know it! That wench he took was weak in body and mind. The miko has vast amounts of power and is loyal. She isn't weak by any standards. His beast roared.
Still she is the half-breeds woman.
I highly doubt that is the case anymore. A smug smile graced his mind.
Although Sesshomaru wanted to put up a fight he knew it would be useless. Once a demons beast chose a mate, it was final. Somehow his beast had come to the ludicrous conclusion that the human miko fit the bill. Yes the miko had spunk but she was also stubborn and would be difficult to submit. On the other hand she was nurturing and motherly; she even fostered the fox kit, a demon. The woman gave him a headache at times. She was a miko; the natural enemy of demons, yet there were multiple demons in the group that she took care of. It just didn't make sense.
Now you see why she is the perfect mate
I loathe you Sesshomaru inwardly seethed.
I am you, essentially you loath yourself.
His beast had him there but he would never admit it.
Hn
A booming laugh echoed his mind.
This Sesshomaru will…attempt to court the miko
Now that wasn't so hard, was it?
Sesshomaru's jaw tensed slightly, the only tell that he was unhappy with the situation.
Hn
If you are going to court the miko you are going to need to expand your vocabulary. I don't think Hn qualifies as a proper response. His beast teased.
Could you possibly be any more annoying? Sometime I think you're worse than the hanyou.
A devilish grin appears.
Oh dear Sesshomaru I can be a hundred times worse, would you care to see?
I'd prefer not to.
Alright then. His beast said way too chipper.
And Sesshomaru? Next time your mate asks you a question, don't be a dumbass and walk away.
I wish there was a shop where I could trade you in for a better beast, you smug bastard.
Again with the name calling. Tsk tsk. Do you forget so easily that I am you. One would think the mighty Sesshomaru had more composure than to argue with himself.
An exasperated sigh escaped his marble carved lips.
I swear I am going insane.
You will if you don't do as I ask. The beast replied in a sing song voice.
Begrudgingly, Sesshomaru lead his pack in the direction of his half-brothers group.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
