"Wolf, it would be wise to listen to the miko. She does not belong to you," Sesshoumaru bit out as calmly as he could manage. Really, he wanted to rip the fool limb from limb for even thinking of touching her, let alone doing it. He'd waited far too long to get to the point he'd just reached. He did not want things delayed further but Kouga didn't seem to get it.
Last night she'd shown him something he'd never seen from her before, interest. He'd been waiting forever for it to happen, and he was not typically a patient being. Still, he wanted her too badly to give up. He wanted her to want him, to need him, to love him and now he had a glimmer of a chance of attaining all of those things. However, the wolf was intruding on their moment.
Kouga whirled on the taiyoukai, finally noticing his presence. "Oh really? Then who exactly do you think she belongs to?" he snarled, begging for him to challenge his claim.
Sesshoumaru, however, knew the answer to this question. He was not going to step into that particular pitfall with the miko.
"She belongs to no one."
