Chapter 13
Sesshomaru was soaking in the hot spring. He had been denied the warm comforts of the water for too long. Now he didn't care if Jaken was missing or not: he did not need the imp's help to take a bath. Sesshomaru did not need anyone. He only allowed his servant to fawn over his person because he enjoyed serving him a tad bit much, but he was fully capable of doing it.
It annoyed him, though. The problem was not if he was or wasn't capable, but that he had gotten accustomed to being served, and that was not a good thing. It came with being a Lord, and he detested the majority of the Lords…but was he becoming like them?
A rustle in the trees caught the daiyokai's attention, and he synchronized his senses to search for anomalies in the vicinity. Birds, prey animals, were easily startled by danger, and so they must be scared by his presence.
He listened for a few seconds and was about to give up, for there was no danger to someone like him, but the softest hiss made him turn to a specific place behind some bushes. He smirked. Just how ridiculous could one human get?
Unable to resist, he turned his back to her and played the role of the perfect prey. He sharpened his senses on her and tried to read her intentions. He quickly got impatient of her fidgeting. Why was she so slow? Yes, of course: she was human.
He shook his head and splashed some water to his face. His delicate hearing immediately caught the sound her moving. She was being smart about this without a doubt. She was hiding her sounds…using her surroundings to her advantage.
Sadly, play and ogle time was over. He disappeared in a flash and was standing behind her a second after. He watched with satisfaction as her back tensed and fear pulsed from her. "I didn't know you were interested in the male body, miko."
She closed her eyes "It's called Anatomy…the science that studies the body."
Sesshomaru smirked and relaxed. 'The Lady miko is definitely a wicked tramp.' He wondered how she maintained her miko abilities and purity. Perhaps it was his turn to teach a few things.
