Sesshoumaru leaned back against the wall, seemingly comfortable on the small bed. The silver of his long hair was muted both by the dark, and by Kagome’s foggy vision, but she could clearly see his eyes glowing brightly. The effect in the blackness of the room was sinister, and Kagome shivered against the chill slowly spreading through her body. She almost immediately regretted her loud outburst--it seemed commonplace and childish when faced by her stoic captor. Almost.
Kagome opened her mouth once more. “I--”
“Silence.”
The interruption prompted Kagome to snap her jaw shut; she did not miss the deadly glare in the lord’s eyes. She did, however, have an insatiable curiosity which refused to be denied.
“How--”
The claws which immediately closed in on her throat, cutting of her air supply, were enough to convince Kagome to curb her curiosity, for now. She kept her mouth tightly shut, wincing as Sesshoumaru growled a deep warning at her. She kept it shut, even as he dropped her back to the floor and resumed his position on the bed. She had caught the unspoken warning: “If you wish to keep your pitiful life, you will not defy me again.”
Lips firmly sealed, Kagome could only look up surreptitiously at the lord, hoping that he would, in his own time, tell her what she so desperately wanted to know.
------
Sesshoumaru looked down at the human female. ‘What a little brat.’ He almost snorted out loud at her attempts to glance at him without his notice. Did she forget that he was a powerful demon? Did she think him the same as those pathetic human males?
Fighting the sudden urge to cause either the miko or any male he could find bodily harm, Sesshoumaru took a deep breath as he mentally ran over his well-planned story. It wouldn’t have been enough to convince one such as himself, but he held no doubts that the miko would fall quite beautifully into his little trap.
This way, at least, he wouldn’t have to worry about her trying to kill herself, like she undoubtedly would if she knew what he was planning. Sesshoumaru smirked inwardly. And if she decided to get rid of herself after the thing had been done…well, it was of no consequence to him. Quite pleased with himself, the demon turned to speak to the female.
“This Sesshoumaru has become self-conscious as of late,” he began, though it was hard to force the words past his teeth without either shuddering or breaking out in laughter. “This Sesshoumaru is a very vain sort of creature, as most demons of noble birth are, or can be.”
Surely a younger version of himself would not have had such trouble with the urge to giggle…
“And so this Sesshoumaru would like your help with this problem.” Sesshoumaru just barely pushed the words out of his mouth. Lie though it was, it absolutely galled the great lord to even consider asking a human for help. Unbelievable.
------
Absolutely unbelievable. Sesshoumaru. Asking her. A human. For help. Politely.
Kagome found it hard to keep herself from looking around the room, waiting for someone to leap out screaming, “You just got punked!!” Could she possibly have heard the lord right? Furthermore, how on earth had he managed to get himself here? Or more aptly, now?
She was still shaking her head to clear the cobwebs when Sesshoumaru continued on with, she noticed, a more than slightly pained look on his face. So he was having trouble asking her, was he?
“This Sesshoumaru cannot find any young maidens willing to work for this Sesshoumaru. It is beginning to look as though this Sesshoumaru is unattractive, unimposing, and unwanted. This Sesshoumaru cannot allow this image to prevail, as it is most unbecoming. This Sesshoumaru would have your help.”
As Kagome’s eyes met those of the demon lord, she sensed a sort of despair within them, an inner soul crying out for help. The only thing she could think to say was… “Err…That doesn’t sound so hard.”
“Agreed.”
Abruptly, Sesshoumaru grabbed the miko’s wrist, slicing it open with a claw. He allowed said claw to drip three drops of poison into the shallow wound. There was a hissing sound and a slightly acrid smell, then the wound was gone, replaced by a silver crescent scar.
Kagome let out a gasp of pain when her wrist was cut, then almost screamed in agony as the poison fell onto her arm, drop by drop. Tears streamed down her face, and the burning smell of her own flesh made her gag. She barely kept from fainting as her skin resealed itself, trapping the poison within, and the dog demon tossed her carelessly onto the small bed.
At the door, Sesshoumaru glanced back to speak once more.
“You will not leave this room for three days. You will assist me for one month, after which you will be free to go, providing that you do exactly as I say.” He turned to leave, then seemed to have another thought. “Just to warn you, the poison tends to have a life of its own.” He paused. “It has a habit of killing those who see fit to disobey me.” With a chuckle and as broad a grin as Kagome had ever seen him wear, Sesshoumaru left the room.
It didn’t matter that he didn’t close the door. Kagome was dead tired, and anyway, there was still the chain attached to the bedpost. Little good an open door would do her now.
Kagome yawned. If Sesshoumaru wanted another slave to help him out, he’d have to wait until she’d gotten her beauty sleep. And there was something off about his story… But Kagome shrugged it off. She was certain she would have enough to worry about without trying to decipher the lord’s motives.
She rolled over lazily, hissing when her weight landed on her still-aching shoulder. She put a hand to the offending part of her anatomy, remember suddenly, as skin touched skin, that she hadn’t a stitch on her body. Kagome blushed deeply. The western lord had seen her completely naked! And he hadn’t even said anything! She wasn’t sure whether to be relieved that he hadn’t cared, or furious with him for putting her in this position in the first place.
Deciding finally to go with the latter, Kagome muttered implications on the demon for the next hour, until sleep eventually took her.
------
Sesshoumaru stood listening just outside the doorway. Some of the things the little human murmured to herself were absolutely ridiculous, but many of them made him smile; simply the fact that she was angry because he’d seen her naked body caused amusement to flash through his eyes.
So, she wanted him to care that she was naked. The western lord grinned broadly. He seemed to be doing a lot of that lately. Certainly he had smiled more in the past few days than he had in centuries. Well, if just annoying the female made him grin and chuckle, imagine how much more he could do to please himself.
It had been just over an hour since he’d left the room that Seshoumaru heard the girl’s breathing slow in the unmistakable cadence of sleep. It was not difficult to enter the room without the miko noticing. A demon lord such as he didn’t have to try to be stealthy.
Sesshoumaru slipped near to the bed where she lay. He noticed that she hadn’t bothered to recover herself with the sheet; or if she had, it had since slipped off again. He found himself imagining how she would react if she knew he was standing beside her, studying her body while he had the chance.
Shaking that amusing but distracting thought from his head, distracting due to a sudden throbbing which had unaccountable begun in a most surprising place, Sesshoumaru turned to one of the end bedposts to which the girl was shackled. He put his hand near the tiny foot, ever so carefully using the acid of his claws to slice through the metal band surrounding her ankle.
Though he knew that a key would have allowed the shackle to be used again, the lord refused to risk waking the miko with such a sound as a lock turning. Quickly enough, the deed was done. Sesshoumaru found himself grinning yet again. Oh, how this would just infuriate the female.
‘Let’s see if she can bear to obey me now.’
The demon lord left the room just as silently as he had entered; the room now contained one completely unbound, entirely furious, thankfully sleeping miko, who would undoubtedly go wild when she realized the door remained open and unlocked.

A/N: What on earth is he thinking?? Oh, I know, I know! Don’t worry, I’ll tell you later! And dear readers, I have two promises: 1. I do have an idea of where this story is going. And 2. There will be little lemonies…eventually. Just wait; they will come.
Thank you thank you thank you,
