�It�s pink.�
�I think it�s cute.�
�It�s hideous.�
�It�s just unique.�
�It�s�� Kagome couldn�t think of the best word to describe the�thing sitting so innocently on the table in front of her. It was pastel pink, fluffy, and horribly distasteful.
�It could be worse.�
Kagome sent Mai a quelling glare, unable to see any way that this situation could get worse.
�Look, he just said he wanted to see it. It�s not like you have to wear it the whole day; he promised you a kimono, didn�t he?�
The miko thought back to an hour earlier, when Mai had led her to the demon lord�s study. He had thrust a small, pink something into her hands, telling her to put it on. With a promise that she could change into more suitable clothing later, Sesshoumaru had turned on his heel and strode out of the room.
Kagome now stared warily at the pink thing. It consisted of what seemed to be a strapless bra, connected by wide ribbons to a fluffy, circular base. Neither bra nor base looked as though it would be particularly concealing.
�He can�t really expect me to put this on, can he?� She directed a pleading glance toward the girl, but Mai only shrugged.
With a sigh of resignation, Kagome braced herself for the worst, slipping the thing over her head. She wormed her arms and shoulders through the bra, then straightened it around her breasts. It bothered her that an extra inch on the ribbons would have given a lot more coverage of certain areas. She suspected that this particular slight had not been accidental.
�How awful is it?� she dared to ask.
Mai considered. She was sure Kagome felt very embarrassed, and the outfit did look ridiculous, but she thought she should try to help.
�I think he could have made it worse,� she replied somewhat truthfully.
Kagome groaned. There was no denying the true nature of the outfit: horrid. She looked back at Mai to find an unfamiliar expression on the girl�s face.
Mai looked up at Kagome slowly.
�If you promise not to tell��
The girl reached into her robe and slowly slid out a very small object. Kagome almost immediately recognized it as a compact mirror.
�Everyone here is allowed a small one of their own; I don�t understand why Lord Sesshoumaru does not let you ever see one. If you stay quiet about it, you may use mine just this once.�
Kagome was ecstatic. She hadn�t seen a mirror in weeks!

�Oh please, Mai, I promise I won�t tell!� she almost whispered, excitement coloring her voice.
Cautiously, Mai handed the compact over. Kagome took it reverently, opened it gently, looked at her reflection, and barely managed to bite back a scream.
~*~*~
The lord sighed for what seemed like the tenth time.
�As I said, they are merely side effects. They are not permanent.�
�Yes, I know! You�ve said that a million times already! But side effects from what?!�
Kagome stood before the lord in a great fury. She had opened the compact mirror to find that her reflection looked a great deal different from how she had remembered. The most immediately obvious difference was that her eyes, instead of brown, were now a brilliant blue.
She had painfully assured herself that these were not merely contacts.
The most disturbing difference, however, were the faint stripes on her cheeks, eerily similar to the lord�s own. There was also the shadow of a crescent moon on her forehead, a mirror image of the one on Sesshoumaru�s. Furthermore, there was bruising around her throat, and though she knew where it had come from, Kagome was furious about that as well.
Sesshoumaru let his gaze drift to the corner of his study, where the small child huddled, sulking. He had boxed Mai�s ears for this mistake, the first in a long time, and she was acting as he imagined most young humans might.
This Kagome, however�
��sick and tired of all this bull! What on earth is going on here anyway! I can�t believe your ridiculous story, especially when you�ve gone through so much trouble of tying me up, or chaining me up, and keeping me bound to you through your stupid poison! I�ve had enough of this! Tell me what�s going on, or I�m leaving right now, and no death threat is gonna--�
Was his hand closed around her throat the only thing that could make her be quiet? Sesshoumaru loosened his grip to allow the woman to breathe, but otherwise did not release his hold on her.
�It is not your position to ask this Sesshoumaru for his reasons. The potion I used to blind you changed the color of your eyes. My poison in your blood has mirrored my own markings on your skin. You are here because you have agreed to be. If you value your life, you will ask no more questions.�
The lord looked into the girls eyes, searching for comprehension. He found it, though fear seemed to be absent from her gaze. Deciding it didn�t matter, Sesshoumaru returned to his original schedule for the day.
�Mai. Leave us.�
The girl rose from her corner and scampered out of the room, lest she be the next victim of the lord�s wrath. Once the door had closed behind her, Sesshoumaru turned his attention to the miko. Even in his deadly grasp, she stared back at him defiantly. He could tell that she was having trouble breathing, but the only thing giving her away was the death grip she herself had on his arm.
The demon looked at her more closely. He loosened his grip slightly.
�What is it that you have to say?�
Surprise flickered across Kagome�s face; she opened her mouth slowly, as if contemplating her words carefully.
�Interesting that you�ve gotten your arm back.�
Sesshoumaru almost groaned out loud. Leave it to a woman to ask a question without actually asking a question. Would he never be done playing word games with this human?
Kagome found herself quite suddenly let go, falling unceremoniously to the ground. She groaned, rubbing her bottom and looking up at the demon, who was now sauntering over to his desk, most likely to reseat himself.
�I see no harm in telling you that you gave it back to me.�
�I did?� Kagome tried not to look alarmed.
�Time is a funny thing.�
Kagome stared at the demon for several seconds.
�You mean you didn�t follow me through the well� But I thought� How would you know when I would be here?�
The lord shrugged. �With age comes wisdom. And I do happen to be several hundred years older than I was the last time we met.�
Well, that threw her for a loop. She hadn�t given a thought to the actual time difference between her world and the feudal era. Well, she had, but not as far as it would concern someone actually living through all those years! Kagome tried to blink back her surprise--it shouldn�t have come as such a shock.
�Humans never seem to consider the life-span of a demon. Not that it matters.� Assured that this part of the conversation had ended, Sesshoumaru stood up from his magical swivel chair.
�Stand. Let me look at you.�
Kagome found herself rising from the ground, though she really didn�t want to do what Sesshoumaru said--especially not this. To pass the time, and ward off thoughts of humiliation, Kagome decided more conversation was in order.
�When will these stupid marks go away?�
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. Kagome found herself feeling like a child asking why the sky was blue.
�I would think you would be happy to have them.�
At this, Kagome almost guffawed. Happy? Who was he kidding?
�If you think I�m happy being reminded that I�m--�
�Had you traveled downstairs instead of up the other day, those markings on your face would have been the only thing keeping you alive.�
Kagome blinked.
�What are you saying?�
The lord shot her a quelling glare, but when Kagome continued to stare back, undaunted, he spoke again.
�These may be different times, but I still have subjects living within the walls of my domain. Little to none of them are human, and very few have qualms about eating human flesh. Without an obvious reminder of my protection, even your journey upstairs would likely have ended badly.�
Kagome neglected to remind the demon that in her mind, that journey had ended badly. However, it was interesting hearing Sesshoumaru talk. He so rarely said any more than short commands. Honestly, this was almost a speech, coming from him.
Sesshoumaru glared at the girl, suspecting her thoughts. Clamping his mouth firmly shut, as though to deny any thoughts of further words, he strode gracefully toward her. He caught up her chin in his hand and tilted her face toward his own. He was glad she had relented and dressed in the clothes he desired. It was annoying to have to rely on his poison to bend the girl to his wishes, and he was afraid it was beginning to wear off.
�What is it?�
The lord was startled by the girl�s query. He had probably been gazing at her face too intently, thinking that the markings were wearing off a little too much for his liking. With his other hand, he reached down and grabbed the miko�s wrist, where a little scar still shone. He brought it to his mouth and bit down just enough to break the skin, to taste her blood and test the amount of poison remaining.
Kagome hissed, startled and confused by the demon�s actions. His teeth nipping her skin had stung, and she tried to jerk away, but the hands on both wrist and chin held tight. Sesshoumaru lifted his head from her wrist, licking his lips once to clear blood from them. He stared at Kagome for a few moments, feeling her growing more uncomfortable with the situation.
He leaned over slightly, pressing his lips ever-so-gently against her own. Kagome was shocked at this action, growing more confused as the demon deepened the kiss, drawing her into a sensual embrace. She didn�t know whether to attempt pulling away and risk punishment, or cease resistance and find out what the demon was planning for her. She was just deciding to play wait-and-see when there was a sudden, terrible burning in her wrist. There was a familiar acrid smell, along with the same scent of burning flesh.
Kagome cried out, and Sesshoumaru used this opportunity to crush her to him, his tongue invading her small mouth, his lips bruising hers. The pain and the intimacy were enough to throw the miko completely off her guard, and she found herself holding the demon�s body close to her own. She had to have something to hold on to, and the demon lord was readily available.
Sesshoumaru barely kept a triumphant grin off his face as he swept the girl into his arms and marched off to his newly repaired bedroom. The miko was clinging to him now, weeping softly into his chest as though he was her hope and her landline. Who knew things could go so incredibly well?

A/N: Well. Knowing how scatter-brained I can be, I�ve probably left out something very important and interesting. But hey, most things can be twisted around to be fit in later. =)
So I hope you enjoyed! Reviews make the world go �round�
