            Kagome glared at the keyhole with all of her might, hoping that the heat of her glare would be enough to melt the metal.

            She waited.

            No such luck.

            She let out a groan, before she began screaming at the top of her lungs. She continued screaming at the highest pitch she could muster, until her captor came to her cell.

            His glare was colder than ice, but Kagome couldn’t bring herself to be afraid. She could only think that because his glare was like ice, it wouldn’t be useful in melting the lock that she was trying so hard to optically destroy.

            “Miko,” Sesshomaru began. “Cease your infernal screeching.”

            “In case you haven’t noticed, I stopped screaming once you got here,” she said dryly, not caring that her insolent attitude would anger him.

            Sesshomaru growled at her.

            “Let me out,” Kagome demanded.

            “No.”

            Kagome gritted her teeth. “What’s the point of keeping me here? You don’t like me, and I just want to get back to my friends. I’d say letting me go would easily qualify as a win-win situation.”

            “You are staying, Miko.”

            “But why?” Kagome whined, desperately wishing that she had her bow and arrows so that she could shot at Sesshomaru.

            Sesshomaru looked at her blankly, as if she should already know the answer. “You are the key to defeating Naraku, but traveling as you did would no doubt result in your death before Naraku’s destruction. This Sesshomaru is keeping you safe.”

            Kagome gaped.

            “YOU’RE WHAT???!?!?!!!!”

…

Keep her safe, Sesshomaru!

Honestly, he’s got to be the sweetest male to have ever walked the earth.
