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.

Glances
It was peculiar, the glances Sesshomaru sent Kagome's way. He didn't look angry, or annoyed, but he didn't look happy either. It was some sort of mixture of emotions, like he was analysing her, yet at the same time not. It unnerved Kagome, but she tried her best to ignore it. Rin was completely oblivious to what was going on, and Jaken was being...well, he was being his usual obsessed-self.
It was only when the group settled down to rest for the evening that Kagome decided that she had, had enough. Tired and dirty, she escaped to the nearest stream where she could refresh herself. There was no hot springs around, which was a pity. Kagome kneeled beside the stream and dunked a wash cloth into the water.
While Kagome continued to scrub her face, Sesshomaru emerged from the trees and watched her. And as he watched her, the tingling sensation that he had been feeling occasionally ever since she kissed him returned. It wasn't painful, but it was noticeable and rather persistent. The tingling would start in the back of his throat, then move all the way down his chest, down to his belly, his groin and eventually end up in his toes. It was like shivering, only not out of cold. Was this the result of the liquid she squirted into his mouth? Did she possibly poison him? The thought was ridiculous, yet Sesshomaru knew how dangerous a woman could be...
Kagome finished washing and turned to return to the camp, only to jump in fright when she spotted Sesshomaru watching her. "Do you need something?"
"No," was the curt reply, then he turned on his heel and disappeared. Kagome sighed and pulled out the empty vial from her pocket. Nothing has changed...so what went wrong?
