I cannot believe I am doing this
Oh come on you act like this woman is the most wretched thing on earth.
It's not that, I have come to see you were right in choosing her. She has many redeeming qualities.
Then what is the problem? You're not scared are you?
….
Really, the Western Lord is afraid of a woman.
….
Oh don't be you know she is a very loving creature, just do what seems right.
This Sesshomaru isn't scared merely uneducated in the ways of courting.
Took you that long to come up with a reason? His beast chuckled.
I was finding the right words.
Well you better find some more quick, we're almost to the campsite.
Sure enough he could see the steady glow of the fire.
"Jaken take Rin and set up camp nearby."
Jaken nodded," Yes milord"
"And Jaken…you know the punishment if you should fail to protect Rin"
The green toad's eyes bugged out, he bowed profusely. Such an annoying creature but he was as loyal as they came.
I stood staring at the flickering of the campfire, trying to figure out how I was going about this.
Just wing it
This Sesshomaru doesn't 'wing it' as you say. I need a plan.
That's your problem you think too much. Just do.
Taking the information my beast had given me I headed toward the scent of the miko.
She smells good enough to eat. A wicked grin forming in my head.
Such a perverse thing my beast was at times, but I could not help but wonder if he were right.
Upon entering the camp, my half-brother had already taken his pathetic excuse of a fighting stance and the miko was just staring. Her brilliant blue eyes shining with an emotion I couldn't name but she almost looked relieved and anxious at the same time. I ignored the hanyou, walking straight for the priestess. I listened as her heart rate picked up, she gulped loudly. Then the most wonderful scent hit my nose, she was aroused.
"May I speak with you in private?" I asked her, my voice rough from the presence of my beast.
She nodded, the hanyou however put up a fight.
"Kagome, how are you going to go off alone with the bastard?" he screamed.
The fire started blazing in her eyes and I realized in that moment, I never wanted to be on the receiving end of her anger.
"Inuyasha, you don't get to have a say in my life. You have you're undead girlfriend, go run to her."
I saw the way the half-breed flinched when Kagome spoke of the dead priestess.
Good. Our miko is putting him in his place, like a true alpha bitch
My beast was over the moon when our miko sat the hanyou.
"Shall we?" I offer her my hand.
She willing accepts it nodding her head.
I take her a ways from the group, so Inuyasha doesn't interfere.
