"Someone had mentioned the word 'pet' and nodded in his direction, so it seemed to be a safe bet that his honor had been thoroughly impugned. He wasn't in the habit of killing wantonly, but sometimes it just seemed to be the most expedient thing to do.
'Kill him now?' He thought, 'or later? Choices, choices.'
Drawing out a poison tipped hand, the demon Lord thoughtfully cracked his knuckles."

"Following a human for whom he had no true affections or ties, she was only empty memories, loosely tied together, of a time that had passed.
Yet he followed her anyway. Sesshomaru wondered why."

I love this. This is an example of him staying true to character in my mind. He really is taking his sweet time with her, he has no awareness of her at all and I'm living for it honestly. Give me that slowwww burn!

"She discovered that one of her escorts, a strapping lad just in the manhood, had wandering hands. It had reminded her so much of a certain monk she used to know that Kagome burst into tears. The man tried to apologize, but she had only cried harder until Sinayo appeared & soundly smacked the offender with her bow.
It was depressing. Had she really become so insensible that sexual harassment made her nostalgic?"

"as her wide brown eyes locked on his golden ones, Sesshomaru felt a strange sensation that he had not known since he was very small.
He wanted to cry.
He was falling down a long tunnel & there was no end in sight. She would walk towards him, try to save him, need his protection, & he would never be free ever again, she was dead already, even as he watched her, she was small, human, weak & she was going to die-"
