July's GMDDN, PROMPT 5: "Too Close for Comfort"
...oOo...
He was close, too close, to her body for comfort. Kagome closed her eyes, willing it all to go away. Curiosity was definitely one of the world's greatest dangers.
She was close, so close to insanity. It made the daiyoukai grin. He had the upper hand and always had. He was older, smarter, master of his own sensuality and sexuality, and she was a young girl with the purest innocence. It was too evil of him to do this, but he was never nice or merciful. Still, she deserved it. He had told her to stay, but she disobeyed and spied on him while he bathed. That was unforgivable.
Besides, this would be the only time. He would not torture her like this in the future. He knew some humans were prone to heart attacks and the miko was nervous enough to cause him to be concerned for her health. He hoped she learned her lesson well and why worry? This would not have any repercussions in the future. Just what could go wrong?
"Miko…since you are so silent, this Sesshomaru shall take the lead of tonight's discussion," he said evenly. He internally chuckled as her startled brown eyes flew his way.
He glanced around them, ensuring their privacy, before he allowed his more playful nature out. He did have a sense of humor, but he just didn't show it to everyone, only to a selected group. He showed his humor to those he trusted, but he also showed it to those he wanted to torture. They feared him when he changed just like that.
A thought invaded him and his fingers dug a centimeter deeper over Kagome's waist, making her flinch uncertainly. He quickly noticed and brought her close his chest, each one facing the other, although she only reached his collarbone.
What was he doing? She was Inuyasha's miko, his source of information. It was the same way she was Inuyasha's shard-detector. The thought pierced through his pride with fatality…was he, really, as worthless as his hanyou brother? No…
Kagome swallowed her pride, and did as best she could under the circumstances. "Why not start the class with blood," Suggested the miko. She raised her eyes to his and started, not wanting to let the daiyoukai start the night's topic. She knew he could get disturbingly creative sometimes. "There are different types of blood: there's type A, B, AB and O, and they can be either positive or negative. Blood type O, negative, can be transferred to anyone, but it can only receive O negative. People with Blood type O negative are called Universal Donors."
He pondered this new information carefully. "What type are you miko?"
Her brown eyes rose to his and her face softened. "O negative."
"What type am I?" he asked curiously.
She blinked, "I wouldn't know," she confided, "In fact…I'm not sure our blood works the same way." They eyed each other, deep in thought, until a smile came over her lips. "Scratch that. It must be the same," she affirmed with a nod. At his blank look the explained, "Well, if it wasn't hanyou wouldn't be born, right?"
The daiyoukai grimly nodded his head. "Indeed."
