Author's Note: This is my first Inu-Yasha ficcy. In the fic, Sesshoumaru has a major affair with Kagome. But seriously, this is a touching story of true love and other things. At some point, Sesshoumaru will get out of character. That is not done on purpose, it's just the way my mind works. And will someone please tell me if it's spelled Sesshormaru or Sesshoumaru. o.o; Oh and Kagome hates Inu-Yasha's guts.
Disclaimer: Uh..huh.

Kagome's Point of View:
It had been weeks since I left Inu-Yasha behind in the Cave of Sorrows and Nightmares. I couldn't believe how much of a jerk he was. He really didn't like me for what I was, the liar. I hated his guts. But enough of that. I sighed and got on my bike to head down to the market. Myoga was perched on my shoulder, cheerfully humming a tune. It was a grand day and I could hardly think about anything going wrong. Well, surprisingly as I was riding through the countryside, nothing happened. But as I approached the village, two flying objects zoomed out of the village, one behind the other. It seemed like they were bumping into each other a little bit.
"Myoga, do you have any idea what that was?" I asked.
"No, Lady Kagome. They were moving too fast," Myoga answered. So much for anyone knowing what it was. I rounded the corner quite carefully, following the path to the village. What I saw next made me nervous. The entire village, yes the ENTIRE village, was in flames. Frightened villagers gathered outside of the gates, screaming in terror. One thing went through my mind: demons. What kind of demons? There were so many, as I found out from traveling with Inu-Yasha.
All of them were capable of doing damage like this. (Unlike Shippo? Or maybe he can, I dunno.) I left my bicycle against a tree and walked down to the village folk.
"Who did this?" I asked. A man looked at me weirdly.
"You mean, you didn't see what happened here?" He asked. I shook my head slowly so Myoga wouldn't fly off.
"No, we just got here. We did see two objects fly overhead. They were chasing each other, I said.
"It was the work of Inu-Yasha and the cold-hearted assassin, Sesshormaru," the man said. My eyes widened in surprised.
"Inu-Yasha is not evil! There is no way he could be involved in such useless destruction!" I shouted.
"Calm down, Lady Kagome," Myoga warned.
"It started with Sesshormaru. The assassin just went insane and started destroying things. Inu-Yasha showed up to fight him, then BOOM! It all erupted in general chaos," The man explained. Something didn't seem right. Sesshormaru was an arrogantly confident calm demon. Not a raving psychopath. Of course, everyone has his or her days. I turned to go back to the bicycle slowly, feeling the heat of the fire on my back.
"All is not well in the world," Myoga muttered.
"Hmm…perhaps you are right," I whispered.
Later on: (Near Kagome's home village)
The ride back home was an eerily quiet one. No bird sung their song in the deepest reaches of the forest. No animal could be heard anywhere. It was as if the land was watching and waiting for something. It was a very nerve-wracking experience. Myoga was especially paranoid, since the shadows seemed to jump at us. I parked my bike next to a tree and walked onto a platform in the middle of the wood. I took one rope and started pulled on it carefully. This caused the platform to move upward. After about ten pulls of the rope, the platform reached the tops of the trees. See, my village was in the treetops. This was, perhaps, a huge advantage to me and the other people. Less invasions, more peace.
I yawned lightly as I walked inside my tree house home and settled down. It wasn't long before someone poked his head in my window. It was Raisuke, chief advisor of the tree house villagers.
"Kagome, Myoga, you may want to take a look at this," He said. What now? I got up and followed Raisuke over to the barren sections of the tree. There was a body entangled amongst the branches. It looked like a man.
"Lady Kagome! It's Sesshormaru!" Myoga yelled. Indeed it was. I could see the crescent moon on his forehead. The question was how did he get there and was he alive?
"The man is still very much alive. We were just waiting for your decisioin," Raisuke said. Should I help him? He was probably injured beyond the help of his demonic powers. Especially if he ran into Inu-Yasha and Tetsusaiga.
"Cut him down from the branches and deliver him to me. I will care for him," I muttered.
"Are you sure about this, Lady Kagome?" Raisuke asked.
"Yes, I'll just need one of those necklaces from Lady Kaede," I muttered. The advisor nodded. I had a feeling that when Sesshormaru woke up, he would try to kill me. And I would be ready for him.
