Why Can't I/ Why Can't You? by beautiful_destruction

What One Wants

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm thinking."

"You are alone, that is not wise for a young woman such as yourself."

"I can deal with it, there are no other youkai except you."

"Are you so certain of that?"

"Yes."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Things."

"What kind of things?"

"Why, what is it to you?"

"I wish to know, seeing as you are a peculiar young woman."

"I'm peculiar.....well I feel real special now."

Her dry humor was mildly amusing, but still irritating.

A low dignified "humph" and the youkai Lord was walking away from her once again.

It was only the fifth time he had come into the field asking questions about Kagome.

Kagome sighed heavily, gathering her small blanket about her shoulders as she gazed up into the midnight blue sky, wondering what it was exactly that Sesshoumaru could possibly want with her.

"Sesshoumaru, what is up with you?" Kagome thought as she watched a falling star arc across the pitch background of the waning evening.

Elsewhere in the same sky.......

Sesshoumaru was flying on his youki cloud, watching as a falling star passed by him on its way to the earth below.

"What is it about my brother's companion that stands out so much?" he thought as his youki cloud drifted lazily.

She always went into that same field since the end of Naraku.

She claimed to be thinking about things, but what kind of things would a female such as her have to think about?

Sesshoumaru growled in annoyance.

The more he wanted to know of the female, the more questions seemed to come up.

"I will find out what makes this woman tick and I will deconstruct every inch of her."

With that, Sesshoumaru's youki picked up speed towards his territories and his castle.

Once there he formulated, he would devise a way to separate the young woman from Inuyasha so he could have a better medium in which to question her.

Off in the distance, Sesshoumaru registered a faint demonic presence.

"Another low level demon trying to encroach on my territory, should be easy enough to dispatch with, but I shall save that for another time."

The distinct cool golden eyes scanned the area before turning to gaze at the thin red line in the distant horizon that had once represented daylight, but now beared more of a resemblance to a blood stain crawling across an obsidian marble floor.

A slight wind caressed Sesshoumaru's face, returning his mind to the matter at hand.

"Yes, I will know her."

Here we go, new fresh idea to tide you over til I can get some ideas going on the other stories.

I had thought about using this in one of my already established fics, but it seems to stand of its own accord.

Anyway, enjoy! :)
