Chapter 59: Monster
"I won't order you to." Kagome huffed.
"With my claws, I could easily rip out your throat before you could take your next breath." as if to demonstrate he pressed them tightly against her skin, not breaking it.
Kagome's damaged hand moved from where it sat at the base of his neck, using her fingertips she gently stroked them up and down the side of his neck. Sesshoumaru growled at her, but she didn't stop. "Just like I could purify you or just like I could order you to let me up, none of the three are going to happen."
"Are you confident in that conclusion?"
"Yes. You would have done it already, if you wanted to. You are not a monster. I am not going to control you Sesshoumaru, nor do I intend to bring you harm, of any kind. " her hand on his side was still caressing him of its own accord. "The choice is yours, I am perfectly fine staying like this."
Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed at her. "Go to bed, miko." and in a flash, he had released her and was sitting a few feet away, as if nothing happened.
