Romancing the Miko
Sesshoumaru was, for the first time in his life, at a loss. He had never before cared to learn the ways of women – and certainly not women of the human variety.
Now, from what little he'd gathered from his father, youkai females wanted to be dominated – they understood the ways of the alpha male, and if he'd wanted one of them as his mate, he'd have only had to walk up to her, and demand her submission.
More than likely, unless that certain female hated his guts, she'd have laid down and let him do whatever he wanted to her as soon as she noticed his interest.
According to the monk, most human females were that way, too, used to doing what their males said without question. The only seeming exception to this was the miko he was after – and the slayer that was her best friend. For some reason, those two females had to be different than any other onna that existed...
He sighed as he thought about it – he never could do things the easy way. Couldn't he just find another female to desire? No... it had to be that one. And now she was driving him to distraction, because every time he tried to get her attention, she one-upped him.
For instance, that sexual instruction scroll he'd given her to learn from. Couldn't she just take it as it was meant? No – she had to try to trump him. And damned if she hadn't done it, too. A slight flush rose in his face again at the thought of what she'd shown him – the moment he'd finished watching what she'd set before him, he'd taken the scroll back and rolled it up, then sent Jaken back home with it without a word to the miko. Obviously, if she knew about the things he'd seen on that screen, she didn't need to read his little scroll.
And that left him where he was now – trying to figure out how to get what he wanted. Because all of this had only served to heighten his desire for the stubborn woman – and despite his confusion, he was bound and determined to get her... one way or the other.
With that in mind, he had done something he'd never thought he would – he'd started spying on courting humans to see how the males of her species enticed the females into mating them – or marrying, as the humans apparently called it.
Since he'd had no luck with domination such as youkai courting would consist of, he would have to try his hand at something different. And if any of the other Lords ever found out, they would be laughing their asses off for the next ten centuries.
He scowled – was she really worth all this?
Slanting a glance ahead at her as she walked before him, and taking note of the swaying of those beautiful hips, he swallowed and decided that yes, she was worth it. But it would most definitely be even more worth it if no one else ever found out. With a narrow-eyed glare back at his half-brother, he decided that if anyone did find out, he'd simply take his pound of flesh out of his brother's hide.
Satisfied with that thought, he turned his mind back to the things he'd learned of human courting, and began to pick through what he'd seen.
It was time to confuse a certain miko by completely changing tactics on her.
One behavior he'd taken note of was gift-giving. Human women seemed to enjoy being given different items, all the way from simple flowers, to much more elaborate gifts.
For him, though, empty gift-giving had no meaning. So what could he find that would incorporate his own needs to show her he could be a good mate, yet would also satisfy her own need for gifts?
His first answer came one day when the group came upon a beautiful meadow filled with flowers that was being dug up by a certain clan that was planning to build their estate in that place, and Sesshoumaru noted Kagome's saddened expression as she watched the field be destroyed.
“What is wrong, miko?” he asked, mystified. “Have these people offended you for some reason?”
The entire group stopped and stared at him, and Kagome blinked, startled. “Um, no... it's just that this field is so beautiful, and now it's being destroyed to build a castle for some rich people that probably already have one somewhere else.” She sighed, and her gaze took on a far-away quality. “That's why there's so little beauty left in my time – people do the same there, too. Human expansion, it's called.”
Sesshoumaru looked at her for a moment, then around at the meadow with a thoughtful expression on his face. Before anyone could even say anything to him, he disappeared, and everyone stared at the place he had just been standing with confused looks, uncertain what he was up to.
When he didn't reappear within a few minutes, the group decided to take a break from their travels, and everyone sprawled out comfortably, waiting for him to return. Kagome, Sango, Shippo and Rin clustered together, with the young girl making flower crowns for herself and the other two ladies contentedly while Shippo helped.
About an hour later, the group noticed that the construction efforts seemed to be coming to a halt as the men in the field gathered their tools and left. It left the group stumped, since it was barely mid-day, and definitely too early to be quitting for the day.
The answer came when Sesshoumaru suddenly landed in the midst of the group, and walked up to Kagome bearing a rolled up scroll, which he handed to her with a slight bow.
She flashed him a startled look. “What's this for?”
“It is a courting gift for you, miko. Open it.”
Flushing, and completely taken aback at this new tactic, she unrolled it, and began reading. Her eyes widened, and she gasped. “Sesshoumaru! You... how did... I mean, wasn't someone just building an estate here? How did you... why...” she stuttered out, and Sesshoumaru cocked a tolerant brow.
“You stated that you liked this field, and the flowers within it, and were upset by the destruction being wrought within it for human expansion. So I bought it, and am gifting it to you,” he said calmly, as though buying land on a woman's whim because she liked the flowers in it was nothing to him.
Flabbergasted, Kagome stared at him, then exchanged stunned looks with the rest of the tachi, though Inuyasha looked more pissed than anything. “This is... this is a little... much,” she finally stammered, shaking her head as though having trouble believing her eyes and ears.
“This is what you should expect, miko, from the male you give yourself to. While your other suitors-” his nose wrinkled with thinly veiled disgust, “-might gift you with a handful of flowers that wilt and die within hours, I can gift you with the land they come from -thus giving you a gift that keeps on giving, year after year,” he said smugly.
Taking the scroll from her suddenly limp fingers, he rolled it back up proudly and settled it into her backpack, before turning on his heel and making everyone get up and get moving again.
Kagome was dead silent all day – she had no answer to a gesture of such extravagance.
Sesshoumaru was pleased – not only was she silent, but she had taken the scroll back out of her bag and kept it clutched to her chest the whole day...
With a soft look in eyes that were plastered to him the entire time.
He gloated inwardly at the success of his very first attempt at wooing her... at this rate, she would be his within days, because none of the other males that wanted her could do anything like what he'd just done for her.
In Kagome's terms, they would be called losers.
-sSs-
A/N: I wonder how long he'll go before he messes it all up? How is Kagome going to respond once she wakes up from her shock, and what's Naraku's answer going to be to this?
