this sesshomaru is not under any mortal's control by Road Kamelot

to kill a mocking miko

Sesshomaru was in a less than happy mood. That blasted miko Soten was doing it seemed all in her power to make him miserable.

He let out yet another frustrated growl and continued pacing the forest floor. Jaken, the miserable toad that he was, managed to get underfoot. literally.

Sesshomaru was more than happy to take out his frustrations on the irrepressible jaken by stepping on him now and again but at the moment it only served to irritate him further.

'That damn miko had to go and curse me because of one comment.'

"jaken" he hissed "keep an eye on Rin and if I find that she has come to any harm in my absence I will see to it that you never bother me with such impudence again"

with that he turned and left his ward in the highly incapable hand's of his vassal and the much more trust worthy dragon Ah-Uhn.

He would seek out the other participant in this curse and kill the wench so as not to be bothered by the other's whims.

He tracked the mocking miko's sent up river until he came upon her bathing. Soten startled immediately and plunged into the relative safety of the water.

Completely ignoring the brown eyed red haired miko's discomfort he strode over to her and purposefully pulled her from the water by her wrist.

"WH-what do you want?" stammered Soten anxiously. He glared at her and replied "this Sesshomaru wishes for you to lift the curse."

Her eyes darted back and forth she was apparently contemplating to make a run for it. He most certainly was not going to allow her to run though.

"I" she started nervously "I don't know how." Cringing she waited for him to strike her or something. But all she heard was a low deadly growl "then how do I break it?"

the miko gulped truly regretting her sense of humor and said "you must find the other participant of the spell and" she paused briefly with a fearful look on her face telling Sesshomaru that the news he was about to receive would not please him.

And generally when the taiyokai was displeased head's tended to roll.

"And get him or her to become your mate." Sesshomaru's enraged look relived the miko of her consciousness and she collapsed in his arms before he less that gently threw her to the ground and began his search of the other member of the spell.

'HE or she' he thought angrily the miko would already be dead if he didn't need the wench to tell him the guide line's of the curse.

Damn that miko!!!
