What do you want? by AyameSuzaku

Prologue *What's Happening*

He's just standing there, why?

He's looking at me funny, I know I should run, scream, call for help. But I can't. What's wrong with me! I should be running away in terror! Why am I just standing here looking at him? No, he's looking at me.

Oh Kami-sama! He's coming closer...kuso, I can't move! Did he paralyze me with a spell? No, no, no, no, NO! I'm not paralyzed, I just moved my fingers. Now just to move my legs, come on! Move. Damn it! MOVE!!!

Success! Now move the other leg...oh crap, he's coming closer faster! Turn around and run... almost there... two more yards... yes! Now just to climb into the well... No!

He has me dear kami-sama! I'm going to die, he's going to kill me! No, I'm not going to let that happen.

"INU-ymaphsha"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed in my head.

"You shouldn't have tried it, human," came the cold, emotionless voice from behind me.

I can feel tears welling in my eyes, my body shaking with my barely contained sobs, fear and anger. How could I have let this happen? I should have started running faster, I should have stayed in my time. If only I had jumped into the well sooner! Great, now my tears are falling from my eyes onto his hand. Kami-sama! I wish he'd just kill me and get it over with.

He's moving his other hand, I shut my eyes in anticipation of my death... now I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to...

What is he doing?! He's wiping my tears away? Why? What is going on?

"If you promise not to scream or jump into the well, I will remove my hand, understood?" it wasn't as demanding or as emotionless as it should have been. Instead it was a whisper and had actually sounded... I don't know, just different.

I nodded my head in agreement, wanting his hand off of me. Not that I didn't like it or anything, I just didn't want to feel trapped, and this way I could ask him.

He removed his hand, I turned to face him, staring into his golden eyes I asked, "what are you doing here? What do you want? How come you haven't kill..."

It was all I could get out, since he placed one finger, softly over my lips, successfully silencing me.

He spoke, slowly and calmly, "All I, Sesshô-Maru want is you, Miko," and with that he removed his finger and claimed my lips.
