A little note: As seen on Dokuga! This drabble/one-shot collection follows Kagome and her mission to 'seduce' Sesshomaru, in order to hand over his corpse to Hebiko, who in return will grant her wish.

Mistakes
The moon was high in the sky by the time Sesshomaru decided to allow Rin and Kagome a chance to rest. Jaken and Ah-Un joined the two human females at the camp fire. Sesshomaru's golden gaze lingered on Kagome for several seconds, then he turned away and disappeared into the shadows.
Rin devoured her food quickly and fell asleep, leaving Kagome to her own devices. Now that the sky was dark and Sesshomaru was gone, Kagome could feel the weight of her situation on her. She glanced at Jaken, who was watching her, smitten. She sighed and turned her attention back to the fire. How did she end up here? Alright, she knew how, but it still felt like a dream, like some sort of distant reality. How on earth was she going to find Sesshomaru's weakness and kill him? He didn't even blink when he saw her! Did Hebiko's spell truly work?
Jaken eventually fell asleep, a small bubble rising from his nose as he inhaled and exhaled small breaths. Sesshomaru emerged from the shadows, but he did not acknowledge Kagome's presence. He scooped Rin into his arms, sat down against a tree and wrapped the small girl in his pelt. Kagome stared at the two in awe, she had never seen Sesshomaru show such affection before. It was so unlike him, but so beautiful...
"You're thinking," Sesshomaru pointed out.
Kagome snorted. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious."
Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed dangerously. "What is it you want?"
Kagome swalloed the lump that had suddenly formed in her throat. Did he know? Was Sesshomaru aware what was going on in her mind?
"Nothing," Kagome finally answered, "I want nothing."
Sesshomaru closed his eyes. "This Sesshomaru will soon learn what it is you want, and heed this, priestess, that when I do, you'll regret crossing my path."
Kagome laughed nervously, then turned around and laid down, her back to him. She was really in for it now.
