you say I only hear what I want to.

She walked with him, or behind him; her shoulder hung low, her head down; it bothered him to no end, all this because his stupid half-brother didn't want her. If she where going to stay with him she was not going to act like this, he would not have her moping around because of Inuyasha, he hated Inuyasha and he didn't really want to be reminded of him.

"Woman,"

"Hm?"

"If you do not look ahead you will surely meet an early death,"

"I'm fine,"

Of course, no sooner did he say it, did she fall. She was on the ground dog style with her nails digging into the dirt. Gods, how she was so mad.

"Stand up; that position is most unbecoming of a Miko,"

She snapped her head up. "Is not my whole being unbecoming to you!" She snapped,

"Do not take your hate out on me, I am not with one who left you," He turned from her,

Her eyes went wide, ah, go figure, Inuyasha would leave her but the man who tried to kill her stayed. She stood up and brushed herself off, and followed after him.

"What will I do?"

"Whatever pleases you as long as you stray out of my way."

"Not like I try to get in your way."

"Yer here you are."

She stopped. "You wanted me to come."

He stopped. "I felt honor bound to keep you as my brother had no honor and threw you to the side."

She shook her head. "No, no I'd rather stay behind than to go with you for that reason,"

He turned. "What other reason would you have me give woman?"

Well, duh, she should have known that; it's not like he wanted her to come; "Forget it, never mind, just go,"

They made their way again, "I will leave you to my home, run it as you wish, do as you wish in till my return,"

She raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Within rights, Miko, do not do anything foolish."

"I don't do anything foolish."

He did not reply,

"You're not a griever, are you?"

"Whom am I to grieve Miko?"

She shook her head. "I dunno, your bother, your father, did you at all care about either of their deaths?"

He looked up. "I honored my father's death; my brother, as you call him, meant little to me. I had no attachment to him,"

"You're a cold, dark person, you know that, right?"

He turned to her, his eyes burning into her. "I am a demon."

"So, so was your bother!"

"Half," He snapped,

"There are other demons who are not as cold as you."

He walked to her. "And tell me, woman, who do I have to be warm to, happy about? I am a Lord, a king, a ruler, a demon, a killer,"

She swallowed. "You have Rin,"

"Rin, it is for her benefit that I am the way I am; I indulge in watching her from afar, but to show caring would be to show a weakness."

She shook her head, not quite understanding. "I don't understand you at all."

"Good, it means that I am doing it right, and you Miko, only hear what you want to."

He took leave again, they would not talk again in till they arrive to his home.
