working up to it and I suddenly get another idea�.haha�but I know that there
will be one!

Enjoy!

Quick Summary up to this point: Kagura attacked Kagome, and
threw her into the trees. Sesshomaru found her and decided to take care of her.
Sesshomaru realizes that Kagome is to be his mate. The end of the last chapter,
Kagome�s miko powers went a little haywire�..
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Staring at the demon above her, Kagome asked one more time,
�Sesshomaru? What exactly just happened?�
Sesshomaru was torn, he wanted desperately to tell the miko
exactly what was going and why her powers had just unleashed unexpectedly,
however his desire to not scare her off outweighed his need to be honest. He
decided that telling her half-truths would be the best course of action at this
point in time.
�Your miko powers healed you�and me apparently.� He stared
down at her, watching the way she rolled her eyes at him.
�I know THAT. I�m not stupid. I�m saying�between you and me.
What�s happening here? Why does it feel like a part of me decided to jump into
you? Why did my powers heal you? I thought they were supposed to repel any
Youkai, not heal them.� Staring up at him in confusion, Kagome resisted the
urge to forget her questions and bury her fingers in his hair.
Any reply from the Lord was cut short as suddenly the demon
was no longer sprawled on top of her. Blinking rapidly, Kagome tried to take in
all that was going on. Sesshomaru was now standing protectively in front of
her, releasing fierce growls in to forest. The wind had unnaturally picked up
and Kagome felt a sinking feeling of dread enter her belly; Kagura was here.
Standing quickly behind the Lord, Kagome asked quietly,
�Sesshomaru, I don�t have my bow and arrows, I can�t attack her with my power
unless I have them.�
The Lord glanced back at her and said, �Don�t worry. I will
deal with the demon woman.� Angling himself to take her out of harm�s way, he
brought his eyes back to the dark woods before him, waiting patiently until his
enemy presented herself. �Jaken, take Rin and Kagome, protect them while I deal
with this. If any harm comes to either, it shall be your flesh that feels the
retribution.�
Jaken hobbled quickly to the miko, taking her hand in a
surprisingly firm grasp before tugging her off to the side to stand next to Rin.
He then placed himself between them and Lord Sesshomaru, being sure to track
the forest in a manner very similar to the daiyoukai.
A low chuckle reached the miko�s ears as Kagura slowly
emerged from the darkness of the trees, �I see you have a guest, Lord
Sesshomaru.� Glancing at the girl behind the small demon, Kagura smirked. �I
hate to cut the visit short, but I was ordered to take the miko back to
Inuyasha.�
The only reply that the wind sorceress received was a low
snarl from the Youkai before her. Kagome quickly grabbed Rin and pulled her up
into her arms, ready to move quickly in case the impending conflict moved
beyond the Lord. Kagome felt a sudden urge to protect the little girl, but what
confused her most was her sudden concern for Sesshomaru, so much so that
Inuyasha�s name didn�t even faze her.
�You will not touch the girl, Kagura. She is mine to
protect.� Sesshomaru�s voice had taken on a strange double timbre, one was the
usual deep and slightly husky voice and the other was more of a growl sounding
more like a barely restrained animal. Sesshomaru was struggling to tame his
inner self, the thought of the demon taking Kagome from him sent his best into
a fury which the Lord could barely contain enough to form a thought other than kill, kill the demon. Returning his
attention to the sorceress he continued, �If Naraku wishes to take her, then he
will have to consult me on that matter. I will not let you touch her.�
Kagura felt a sudden uneasiness within her being, realizing
it was her heart being squeezed by her master she no longer hesitated.
Attacking with a fury, she whipped her fan quickly in the direction of the
demon while simultaneously lunging towards the miko. Hoping that her attack was
enough of a distraction she focused her attention on the girl with the child
cradled protectively against her chest. As she reached to grab Kagome, however,
her body was flung aside into one of the large trees that encircled the
clearing.
After a moment, the pain of the impact caught up with
Kagura. Crumpling to her knees, the sorceress clutched at her shoulder which
was bleeding profusely from the wounds laden with the poison that only
Sesshomaru could wield.
Bringing herself once more to her feet she screeched at the demon
lord, �What is she to you, Lord Sesshomaru, but a mere weak human who can do
nothing more than stand and watch?� She spat the words out, venom dripping with
each syllable. Seeing that she would get no response from the Lord, the wind
sorceress attacked again with a fury borderline insane.
Swinging her fan wildly, she released blades of wind to
attack the group in front of her, hoping to injure someone so that she could
reach her goal. When the dust cleared however, her hope was not heeded for
there should Sesshomaru looking unruffled while calmly holding Tokijin in front
of him. That blasted sword warded off my
attacks! What is it with these Inu�s and their blasted swords?! Kagura thought furiously to herself.
Moving to strike once again she halted suddenly, �Enough,
Kagura. Return. We will deal with this matter later. Presently it is out of our
control.� Glancing to her left she saw one of Naraku�s puppets hovering above
the ground wearing the fur covering and ape mask. �Now, Kagura.�
Watching the puppet disappear from sight, Kagura brought
herself to her full height, �This isn�t over, Lord Sesshomaru. Not by a long
shot.� Tossing her feather into the air, she quickly mounted it and floated
away from the proud demon.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Inuyasha growled furiously, seeing the form of Kagura atop
her feather gliding away from the woods. He sniffed the air and still getting
no sent of Kagome he sprinted in the direction of Kagura. Hoping that the wind
sorceress would lead him to the girl he was so desperately searching for.
Ignoring the shouts of protest behind him, the hanyou picked
up his speed. They would catch up eventually, and with any luck by then he
would have Kagome securely back with him. Just
hang in there Kagome, I�m coming.
With that final thought, Inuyasha leapt among the trees
after the floating figure above him�.away from the woods.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome settled Rin back on the ground though the girl still
clutched at her leg refusing to relinquish her hold. She gazed down at the dark
hair of the girl beside her and smiled, �its okay Rin. She�s gone now.� Prying
the girl�s tiny hands from her leg, she entwined her fingers with the child�s
smaller ones and with a gentle squeeze, approached the demon lord standing in
front of her.
�Sesshomaru? Are you alright?� Wincing at the unexpected
concern lacing her voice, Kagome stared at the Lord intently, searching for any
sign of injury.
The Youkai snorted, �This Sesshomaru would not be harmed by
such a weak incarnation of that blasted hanyou.� He glanced back at the pair of
humans behind him, and softening his gaze he asked, �Are you alright, Kagome?�
Blushing furiously at the way he said her name as well as
how he was looking at her, Kagome nodded quickly, �I-I�m fine. A little curious
as to why Kagura wanted to return me to Inuyasha, but otherwise fine.�
Chuckling darkly, the Lord mused, �It seems that Naraku has
another plot. Typical. Only a coward would spend his time plotting and hiding
behind puppets instead of attacking his enemies head on.�� Shaking out his long white-silver hair, he
continued, �We must get moving if we wish to reach my palace by nightfall. I do
not wish to spend another night in the woods, especially with powers such as
yours, miko.�
Striding forward gracefully, the Lord listened as his
soon-to-be mate and his ward followed. After a few moments he heard the startled
shriek from Jaken followed by the scramble of feet. Assured that all of them
were following, he picked up his pace and began the final part of the journey
to the home of the Lord of the Western Lands.
~*~*~*~*~~*~
After a few hours of travelling, Kagome picked up Rin who
was slowly falling asleep on her feet. Kagome asked Jaken if this was how it
usually was and the frog like creature responded that usually they travelled
with Ah-Un so the girl could just sleep on the dragon creature�s back. But on
this trip Sesshomaru let Ah-Un stay at the palace to relax.
Kagome cuddled the girl close to her chest feeling a surge
of emotion towards her. Looking into the peaceful face of the child Kagome
smiled slightly to herself, she�s just so
cute! I could get used to this. Stopping dead in her tracks, Kagome shook
her head quickly. What was she thinking? Getting used to this would be she
would be like a mother to the girl, meaning that she would have to stay with
Sesshomaru. Surprisingly, that thought wasn�t as strange and scary as she
thought it would be�it almost sounded nice.
Noticing her pause, the Lord stopped, �Something wrong,
Kagome?�
�No. Nothing.� She responded quickly, too quickly. The Lord
was sure to know that something was wrong with her; he was way too perceptive
to let that slide.
Surprisingly, the Lord made no comment about her behavior
and instead nodded his head and continued moving forward. He�s acting so strangely, Kagome thought to herself, I wonder what he�s thinking. Better yet�what
is up with him kissing me�.TWICE?! Shaking her head once more, the confused
woman followed after the demon in question and decided to hold those specific
thoughts for later.
Sesshomaru was in a similar situation within himself. He
kept glancing back at the girl, watching the play of emotions across her face,
watching the way her hair swirled when it was caught by a breeze. His favorite
was when she picked up Rin and cuddled close, the look that lit up her face was
the most beautiful sight he�d seen in his long life. It was contentment and
compassion mixed with protectiveness. *She will make a good mother to our pups,
no?* Quieting his beast, Sesshomaru wondered what she was thinking. When she
responded so quickly to his inquiry he couldn�t help but wonder what she was
trying to hide.
It is of no
consequence, soon we will be at the manor and I can spend some time with her,
explain what�s going on. When the girl had suddenly unleashed her powers on
him earlier that day, he had wondered if it would be his death. Instead it had
replaced his once lost arm, and on an instinctual level, recognized him as her
mate. The only way he could describe it was that a piece of her soul, which was
the source of her power, had joined with his. He�d never heard of an incident
such as this before, but he was sure that that is what had happened. He knew
this because he could feel the emotional unrest within the girl following him;
he couldn�t tell exactly what it was�.yet. But he could sense that she was
uncomfortable about something, the way her emotions kept swirling and shifting
had him constantly curious as to what was running through her mind.
Soothing himself with the knowledge that once he was at his
home he could discuss things with her, he pushed those thoughts out of his mind
and went back to tracking the happenings in the forest. Soon, my miko�soon.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagura arrived back at Naraku�s castle, anxious and
wondering what fate was about to befall her. What greeted her, however, was not
what she had expected.
�Relax, Kagura. There�s no need to fear.� Naraku glanced her
way. Sitting upon a mat lain out on the floor the half demon looked completely
at ease. He was sitting with one leg bent with his arm perched upon the knee,
his other leg outstretched before him. Wearing only a pair of baggy drawstring
pants and his dark ebony hair flowing about him, the demon had a pensive look
on his face, as if trying to seek the wonders of the world.
�Naraku. Why did you order me to stop attacking them?�
Kagura stared at the demon in front of her. To anyone else he would seem
attractive, to her, he was repulsive. Clutching her colorful green and red
robes closer to herself, Kagura awaited his answer.
�With Sesshomaru there, you stood no chance. I saved your
life. Besides�I have a better plan that before. Inuyasha will be a treat, but
Sesshomaru as well? That will be the icing on the cake.� Grinning wickedly,
Naraku settled his piercing blue eyes on the wind sorceress. �I have another
task for you.�

~**~*~*~*~*~~*~*~~*~
Inuyasha stopped, panting and out of breath. Looking around
him wildly, he tried to sort out a direction to travel. Alone in the forest, he
had no one to talk to, to figure out where to go. He picked a direction and
started sprinting.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Breaking through the last thicket of trees, Kagome gasped.
Before her stood the palace of the Western Lands and it was�beautiful. Kagome
couldn�t even begin to count how many rooms probably existed in the place, but
she did notice the vast amount of open land surrounding the castle. Gently sloping
hills, as well as a glistening pond accented the entire seen. Looking at the building
itself, Kagome could see that it held more windows than walls and from what she
could see there were four wings.
�Welcome, Miko. To my home.� Sesshomaru continued moving
forward, seeing the demons that he employed as servants rushing out to greet
him. He made a note to tell them not to scare the poor miko, for she was not
used to being surrounded by so many demons at one time.
He had no reason to fear however, the miko was well able to
take care of herself. As the demons approached the woman, she smiled at them in
a friendly manner, and when they offered to take the girl from her she politely
declined and said she would be alright with her small burden. Turning to the
demons who had just reached his side, he waved them away, letting them know
that he needed no assistance. Walking towards the entrance of his home he gave
a small sigh of relief, even if the Lord was a wanderer, it was always nice to
be someplace peaceful for awhile.
Entering the palace, Sesshomaru signaled for one of the
servants to follow him. It was one of the more elderly female demons that he
kept employed, she had been around since before he was born and was very loyal
to his family, and therefore he felt no need to be rid of her. He was grateful
for that now, for this same woman saw how his father had fallen for the human
woman and he knew she would understand.
�Kyana, I need you to look after the girl, Kagome. Make sure
she is comfortable. It could be an interesting few days.� Looking at the
elderly demon he saw that she understood what he was asking of her.
�Of course, m�lord. I will do my best to make sure the Lady
gets settled in.� The woman bowed slightly before gracefully walking over to
the miko. Sesshomaru had a few pressing matters to attend to before he could
talk to Kagome. Having faith that the older woman would take care of her, he
moved toward the northernmost wing.

Kagome watched the older woman walking towards her. She had
kind eyes and a few wrinkles indicating that she had led a good life. She was
fairly short, but her presence more than made up for that. Her blue and silver
kimono indicated that she was a servant, but Kagome could see that she held
more power here than some of the others.
�Hello, Lady Kagome, my name is Kyana. I will be here to
assist you in getting settled in and comfortable. If you�d follow me please, I
will show you to your rooms.� Turning in the opposite direction that the Lord
had gone, Kyana walked to the southernmost wing in the palace with Kagome in
tow.
Opening two sliding screen doors, Kyana led the way into the
chambers where Kagome would be staying. Upon entering the room, Kagome gasped,
it was beautiful! The draperies across the windows were sheer white with Sakura
blossoms embroidered in random patterns across the fabric. This matched the
comforter on the bed that was lying to one side of the room, placed in the
middle of the wall. The bed was slightly propped off the ground with sheer
white netting tastefully folded around it. There was an intricate rug of swirling
pinks, whites, and purples on the floor underneath what look to be a miniature
study area. There were two chairs, both plush and very comfortable looking,
framing a low table with a candle resting in the middle. Off to the side of the
chairs was a bookcase filled with works that Kagome was sure she had only heard
of in her history classes. �The walls
were plain wood plating, but the overall effect was elegant while not being
overly done. Kagome loved it.
Opposite the bed was another sliding screen which Kagome
approached cautiously. Opening the screen Kagome let out another gasp. Before
here was a bathing room, but it was nothing like what she had expected. Apparently,
the palace was situated on some sort of hot spring, for the bathing house was a
pool of heated water with slight waterfalls trickling from the stone
surrounding the well. Carefully stepping down the stone stairs into the basin of
the room Kagome look around in wonder. Peering carefully around the area she
saw that there was another door leading to this room, but before she could ask
Kyana led her back into her bedroom.
�That will be where you will bathe, Lady Kagome.� Kyana then
moved to another door next to the bookcase, �This is where you will prepare for
the day.� Entering this new room Kagome looked around, it was just as elegant with
the same rugs and colors. On one side was a wardrobe, probably filled with
expensive kimonos that she couldn�t wait to look at, and the other side there
was a low table with a stool in front of it. She saw the lack of a mirror and
knew that servants would be helping her prepare for her day. She grimaced slightly;
she didn�t deserve all of this. All she needed was a small room where she could
sleep and that would be enough.
Turning to Kyana, Kagome inquired, �Ma�am, this room is
beautiful. But the Lord doesn�t need to trouble himself by having me take such
an elegant room.�
Kyana smiled, �Call me Kyana, or Kya. And it�s no trouble at
all. You will understand in short time why you were given these rooms, Lady
Kagome. For now though, I�ll leave you to yourself. Would you like me to send
for someone to take Lady Rin?� Looking down at the girl, Kagome shook her head
no.
�If I call you Kya, then you must call me just Kagome.�
Smiling as the elderly woman nodded back at her, Kagome walked over to the
large bed and settled Rin upon it. Kagome turned to ask another question, but
the older demon was gone.
Shaking her head, Kagome tucked the child into the bed
before looking around for something to do. Becoming restless, she decided that
she should take a bath and wash all the sweat, grime, and dried blood that had
been on her being since a few days prior.
Looking to make sure the girl was sound asleep; Kagome
searched the rooms for something that she could use to wrap herself in to
bathe. Seeing nothing, she shrugged, who was going to see her anyways?
Opening the screen and closing it behind her, Kagome walked
the steps down to the pool of water. Sticking her toe in, she sighed at the
warm temperature, and quickly submerged herself in the steaming pool. Resting
back against one of the naturally created benches, she let her mind wander.
Specifically, she day dreamed about golden eyes and the great demon Lord they
belonged to.

~*~*~*~*~*~
Sesshomaru was quickly becoming bored with the menial
problems that he was reading through. They were simply solved, and as soon as
he could come into contact with the other demon Lord�s all would be resolved.
Pushing away from the desk in front of him, he stood from the
chair and stretched his tired muscles. He hadn�t slept well the night before,
he dreams plagued by the miko he was destined to spend his life with. He still
couldn�t figure out a way to tell her without scaring her off. He wasn�t used
to gently saying anything; he had always lived by the philosophy that bluntly
stating something was better than beating around the bush. But he was afraid
that adopting the same philosophy for this situation wouldn�t go over well with
the woman.
Walking out of the north wing where he conducts his duties
as Lord of the land he swiftly walked to the southern wing where is bedroom was
located. It was a very similar set up to the one Kagome was currently residing
in, he knew. Only his was more green and earthy tones, and the bed was bigger.
He smirked to himself at that, soon they would have use for that particular
commodity.
Entering through the sliding screen door he decided it would
be a good time to take a bath and cleanse himself of the long journey. He
figured that the girl would be resting; her sudden burst of power this morning
had to be exhausting.
Efficiently disrobing, he wondered what the woman�s reaction
would be if she found out that the other door in the bathing chamber connected
to his rooms. Smirking slightly he opened the door leading to the hot spring
and stopped dead in his tracks. There in the pool of steaming water was the
miko, sound asleep against the rock surrounding the water, half submerged�and
completely nude.
He couldn�t help himself, he stared. He gazed at her
longingly, watching the long dark waterfall of hair swirl around her in the
water; her creamy skin glistening with droplets of water. He looked at her
angelic face, dark lashes resting against slightly raised cheekbones and a
delectable mouth that he knew tasted of honey. His gaze wandered lower, unable
to help himself. He took in her graceful and slender neck that swept into
delicate shoulders. Lower, and his sight grazed across
her breasts, gently rounded that would provide a full handful when the time
came for him to finally touch her. Dipping under the water her narrow waist
flared out into rounded hip and a gently curved belly. He could see her long
legs through the water, slightly muscled, that led up to a small thatch of hair
at the apex. He licked his lips. Delicious,
He kept gazing at her, unable to tear himself away.
Stepping into the water, Sesshomaru quietly made his way
over to her. Waist deep in water, he reached her. Standing an arm�s length
away, he extended his clawed hand and gently traced her delicate cheek with his
fingertips, smiling when she instinctually leaned into his touch. Crouching
closer to her, he used his other hair to brush her bangs away from her face
before settling his fingers into her hair. Slowly he eased forward and lightly
brushed his lips against hers, pulling away he leaned
in and did it again. Each time she leaned towards him, seeking his warmth and
presence. Leaning forward once more, he kissed her forehead, and while pulling
away, she woke up.
It was slow, her eyes fluttering open and looking around
before settling on him. She blinked a few times before registering where she
was, where he was, and that she was
naked. She sat up quickly, staring at him in fright, wondering what was going
to happen and why he was so close. She was having such a nice dream, involving
the demon who now stood before her naked in all his glory and unabashed.
Her gazed travelled quickly down against her will and
settled upon him, the part that was now swollen and angry looking. Averting her
gaze quickly, she blushed and mumbled, �Lord Sesshomaru? What are you doing
here? I�m sorry if I intruded where I should not have.�
Chuckling softly, he leaned forward and grazed his mouth
across her ear and whispered, �Do not fret, my Kagome. You are as welcome here
as I am. I didn�t mean to disturb your bath. Go, get ready and join me for
dinner. We will discuss some�important matters then.� Standing up the Lord
submerged himself once under the water.
Kagome couldn�t stop staring at the demon. His body was
lithely muscled, but altogether very masculine. His broad shoulders and chest
tapered to a narrow stomach and hips that were solid muscle. As he walked his
thighs bunched and released creating a strange heat to surface in the young
woman. Staring at his back she admired his muscles as well as the elegant fall
of his silver looking hair. She couldn�t stop blushing.
Submerging herself once more, she then quickly made her way
to the side of the pool where the door leading to her chambers was. She pulled
herself out of the water and the entire time she could feel the Lord�s
penetrating gaze upon her body.
She reached for the door and was stopped short by his
parting statement, �I will say this, miko. If I catch you in a similar
situation again, I will take you. I don�t think I will be able to stop myself a
second time.� Glancing over at him, she watched as he entered his rooms and
shut the door behind him.
Quickly pulling herself through her set of doors, she noted
that Rin was gone. Probably back to her rooms to get a proper rest. Kagome
thought about the Lord�s parting statement and felt a strange heat unfurling in
her belly. She didn�t doubt his words, that wasn�t the
problem, the issue was that she felt�excited to know that those words were a
promise. One she wholly looked forward to.
Smiling to herself, Kagome set about laying out a kimono of
light purples and greens embroidered on white silk. Calling one of the servants
to send for Kya, she waited patiently, wondering what dinner would be like.
Sitting on the stool, she smiled as the elderly demon walked in and quickly set
about making Kagome presentable for their meal.
