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.

Lure
Kagome watched the food cooking in silence. Rin was drawings pictures with a pack of wax crayons Kagome found in the bottom of her bag. When she found it, her heart clenched tightly. She missed Shippo very much. However, Rin was very happy to receive the gift, which lifted Kagome's spirit, even just a little.
Jaken, in his obsessed stupor was clinging to Kagome like glue. He never left her side, his devotion to Sesshomaru somewhat forgotten. It was very, very annoying. Kagome thought the spell would ease things for her, but all it really did was complicate the whole situation. After all, Sesshomaru fought the lure, and didn't even blink when he looked at her.
Needing some fresh air away from the fire and smoke, Kagome stood and walked into the dark shadows. She heard Jaken call out to her, but she hid behind a tree so that tha imp would not find her. When she heard him sigh in defeat and turn around, Kagome continued moving through the trees.
"Priestess," came Sesshomaru's voice from above. Kagome jumped and looked up, surprised to find Sesshomaru sitting in a tree. He looked so serene, especially with the moon's light shining down on his perfectly smooth skin. "You are to stay with Rin, or have you forgotten?"
Kagome sighed. "She's fine with Jaken."
Sesshomaru snorted, then jumped down from the branch. He towered over her, which made Kagome quite nervous. She had encountered him various times before on her travels with Inuyasha, but not quite like this.
"What are you hiding?" Sesshomaru asked, his eyes cold. The vial in Kagome's pocket suddenly felt very heavy. Kagome gulped, he didn't know about it, right?
"N-nothing," Kagome stammered. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, then, as if defeated, he turned around and started to move away. Kagome tightened her hand into a fist. She was tired of this, what had happened to her resolve, her strong-will? No, it was time she took action.
"Sesshomaru!"
