the things this Sesshoumaru would do... by *~*Missy*~*

The masks we wear, and the ones we shouldn't

He loved watching her like this, when she was asleep, everything eased its way out of her face and she just let her mask slip.  This was the way she should be all the time, she shouldn’t be pretending to be something that she was not and pretending she wasn’t in love with someone when she really was, only showing her true emotions and motives when it was convenient.  It made him sick.  He couldn’t understand for the life of him why she was with Sesshouamru.  When he had heard from the half-breed what had happened he couldn’t believe what he had told him.  He had merely made a jest as to why she wasn’t with the group, he had never expected Inuyasha to react the way he did, to fly into a blind rage and then, sadly admit the reason for her departure.  It was finally his time, he had been waiting all this time for the miko to come to her senses and now she had.  Now he could finally act upon what he wanted to since the day he had saw her in that all too short kimono.  She could finally be his. 

However it wasn’t to be.  Now she was with him, Sesshoumaru, Lord of the Western lands.  And for what reason?  He couldn’t understand what had happened to make the miko fall so in love with the icy lord that she would leave her friends and why they seemed to have parted on terrible terms.  He would find all of this out himself.  He had too, he would also test the little miko’s resolve to stay with the daiyokai.  After all, he knew which way her heart would like and all demon love wasn’t alike.  Yes, I shall figure this out.  Bankoutsu laughed quietly before he disappeared.
