            The wind blew, teasing a lock of Kagome’s hair. The girl frowned, before tucking the lock behind her ear.

            “Be careful, you two!” Kagome called watching Rin and Shippo play in the clearing.

            She smiled at them, before she began fiddling with her sleeve and nibbling on her lip.

            She shouldn’t be doing it, but it was a nervous habit, and she couldn’t help it. Sesshomaru was making her nervous.

            Not his presence or his power; she had become too used to that over the years. Rather, the fact that he hadn’t stopped staring at her since he had arrived in the clearing was what was disconcerting her.

            She looked at his imposing form from the corner of her eye.

            He was still staring at her.

            She cleared her throat and turned to face him. He continued to stare at her unflinchingly.

            “Sesshomaru-sama. Is there something wrong?” she asked, straining to keep her voice polite.

            “Miko,” he said.

            “Yes, Sesshomaru-sama?” she questioned, cocking her head.

            He stared at her and didn’t say anything else.

            Kagome’s eye twitched. “Sesshomaru-sama?”

            He walked towards her, not answering.

            Kagome craned her neck upwards to look at him.

            “Stand,” he commanded.

            Kagome gritted her teeth and looked over at the still playing children. Taking a deep breath, she stood.

            “Yes?”

            Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the clearing, blowing Kagome’s hair wildly. When it stopped, Kagome reached up her hand to fix her hair, but Sesshomaru did it for her.

            Then, he walked away.
