he watched her dance with his loathsome brother, smiling and giggling all the while. "disgusting isn't it, milord?" Jaken scoffed at his side. Sesshomaru hummed in agreement. it was either him or that wretched wolf pawing at her. but of course she never put them in their place.. no, she'd just go along with the idiocy. but.. and a smile fought to rise at the coming thought. Rin had done well in picking out her furisode; it looked beautiful on her, especially under the orange glow of the lanterns. it was a yellow base holding a lovely autumn pattern, with momiji, bamboo, and bonsai. his gaze flicked over to Rin, she was wearing a similarly designed furisode for the festival; claimed she wanted them to match. of course he wasn't going to argue, it would just give him an opportunity to compliment the miko if the topic came up. she was dancing with the little fox, Shippo, grinning and laughing gleefully. the child deserved to have fun when she had the chance. "I don't see why you are so interested in watching these filthy humans galavant about. the child is safe, we should be out hunting down more shards." "Rin had requested I stay close, she feels safer in my presence. one night will not yield Naraku any worthwhile advantage." the daiyoukai hummed in response, not bothering to take his eyes off his charge. "hmph! I still say-" "Jaken! if you're just going to whine in my ear, go elsewhere." "ah. y-yes, milord." the imp chuckled nervously before scuttling off. Sesshomaru took a soft breath of the air, there were so many competing scents to sift through to find the one he wanted; it was gentle and clean, so entirely unlike others who choose to douse themselves in chemicals and scents that attack his refined senses. but never the miko.. her scent always made him feel calm; it was like a drug to him. she was quite the anomaly, that woman.. she was a priestess, and yet she held no animosity towards demons, only those that sought to harm the innocent. hmph, he could still recall how she never feared him, not even back when he had tried to take her life. he sent out his youki into the festival below, and watched with delight as the miko jumped faintly, earning a scowl from the hanyou. almost instantly, he could feel hear aura react against his, as if trying to pull it closer, hmm, two could play that game, little one. the longer the two energies mingled, the more a smirk fought to tug at his lips. "if she wishes to play, I suppose this one can be obliged.." he chuckled to himself, rising from his spot overlooking the festival. "come then.. if you truly wish of my attention, I'll even make it easy for you this time." Sesshomaru watched with soaring pride at his brother's failed attempt to keep the miko from following his aura. he was surprised the whelp could even sense him with so much competition getting in the way. he grinned as the half breed looked towards him with a glare. hmm, it is not fun being made second place, now is it, brother? (-kagome-) dancing with Inuyasha had been fun. ..but nothing, it seemed, would erase the fear of always being second best to Kikyo in his heart. that was why she so greatly enjoyed the times when she ran into his brother. he was ruthless in battle, yet so gentle and soft with Rin. even Shippo had grown to trust the demon lord, which of course, made her like him that much more. whenever he'd visit the village, bringing gifts for Rin, he'd almost always bring along something small just for Shippo, and of course the kit would tell her all about it as soon as he saw her. "do you wanna get something to eat, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, her hand clutched carefully in his. his nose twitched as he sniffed the air. "mmm, maybe later." she smiled softly, leaning again him. she was too busy waiting for a certain- her body jumped faintly when a familiar youki rose up, playfully nipping at her. ah! Rin had told her she'd invited the daiyoukai, and she still needed to thank him for the amazing outfit he'd left for her before the festival ended. "hey, you're not gonna follow that are you?" Inuyasha held her hand, practically begging her to stay as he glared at her. "he's not a threat, Inuyasha. Sesshomaru is a good man, you may not trust him, but I do, and so does Shippo. I'll see you later, it was fun dancing with you." she smiled at him, but he held on. "let go of my hand, please." he paused, before heaving a sigh and releasing her hand, "fine. I should probably make sure Kikyo's doing alright, anyway." "right..tell her I said hello...." Kagome didn't look back at Inuyasha, she only made sure Shippo was still having fun with Rin and that Kirara was still watching them. after all, just because it was a festival and a powerful daiyoukai was present, that didn't mean they should be a little careful, they were still children, after all. it didn't take long for her to find him, he had left a pretty clear trail with his youki, he must have really wanted to see her. "I was starting to think you wouldn't come.." "hmm, you seemed to be having fun with Inuyasha." he hummed softly, tenderly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "oh come on. you know he and I would never happen. he'll never let go of Kikyo." Kagome sighed, "even now.. he used to fight me going leaving his side more. back then it felt like I was important to him, but now? now, I just feel like a responsibility.." "mmm, if he cannot see your worth, then my brother is truly a fool." Sesshomaru hummed softly. "any man would be lucky to have you for a mate." of course, he knew what her response would be. "even one such a you?" she asked exactly as he had expected. "mmm.." he hummed softly, allowing a small smile to form, "even one such as I. you doubt yourself too much, Little Miko; too much time around Inuyasha, I suspect." "yeah.. well, it's hard when he constantly compares me to Kikyo.. she's a better archer, a stronger miko, hell, she's probably a better- " "nonsense, it is a foolish man that puts the living in the shadow of the deceased, it matters not if she has been brought back through dark sorcery. her body is of clay and graveyard soil; she consumes souls of the departed; she is but a shell of a woman. a woman such as that can never be a suitable mate, she cannot bear your pup." "it's fine.. I'm-" Kagome moved to brush it off, but felt two large palms cup her face, shutting her up instantly. "it is most certainly not 'fine'. you deserve so much more than half-hearted endearment." "you really think so..?" she practically gasped under his spell, the world quickly faded away, leaving only her, and a ridiculously attractive demon lord that smelled like a forest during a thunderstorm. "mmm, do you doubt my words?" he chuckled softly, gently pulling her closer. by the gods, this woman was intoxicating.. he took a long, deep breath, indulging himself in her presence. ahh, she smelled of Sakura trees.. it took an incredible amount of self control to repress the shudder that threatened to wrack his large frame. "no.. no, of course not.." she giggled; an impossibily addictive sound, and grabbed a fistful of his brown furisode. "just confirming it. you're... not usually this upfront, you normally leave me guessing mo'ohmp-" but he just couldn't hold back any longer, capturing her sweet lips. soon her hands trailed up his neck, and tangling into his hair line, scratching his scalp. gods! he growled into the kiss at the shudder that ran the length of his spine, ahh, he couldn't get enough of this woman..his left palm moved to cup the back her skull, pulling her in closer, while the other wrapped around her waist, keeping her held tight. ~PWAH~ she gasped momrnts later. "gods.. you- ahh.. hmm..so that's how it is, huh?" "if you will have me, that is.." he hummed, fully smiling for the first time in.. gods know how long.. "the western lands will greatly prosper with a lady such as you to lead them." "yeah? they won't mind I'm only human? and what about my lifespan? a human years is nothing to a-mmm-.. de-demon.. well, you could have at least let me finish my sentence." "there are ways of adjusting, worry not, my dear." he watched with pride as a shiver ran along her body, "oh? now what was that for?" "cheeky, you know damn well what that was.." Kagome blushed. "mmm, I'm sure you'll find ways of getting back at me for that." he chuckled. "would you care for a dance?" "why, of course, my Lord. I would love one."
