"So, tell me more about this Kouga. Where can I find him?" Sesshoumaru asked after they finished their meal.
Kagome ducked her head. "I can't tell you that."
"Why not?" he inquired.
"Because you'll kill him, which is your right as a father, but he's still my friend. Besides, I don't know for sure if it was him, or if he did it before or after he promised me."
The miko still refused to look at him, which bothered the taiyoukai. "I do not have to kill him if you do not wish it."
At that, Kagome lifted her eyes, her lips turned up in a half-smile. "Yeah, but you'd do everything just short of that."
"Perhaps you know me better than I had believed," Sesshoumaru replied with a smirk.
"Or maybe you're just predictable."
The taiyoukai's smirk widened. If she knew how much he wanted her and what he was willing to do to gain her heart, she would have been surprised. She certainly would not have predicted that.
Inuyasha's constant scowl darkened at Kagome's cordial tone. He didn't like how she seemed so comfortable interacting with Sesshoumaru. It was making him insane, and he needed to think of some way to put a stop to it.
"Well, shall we continue?" Miroku asked, snapping the hanyou out of his thoughts. The faster they set out, the faster he could get Kagome away from her would-be suitor.
