-IMPORTANT NOTICE-

I changed this chapter, for I was not completely happy with it, it is now a bit longer and more detailed, also I feel that it is more like how the rest of my story is going to be. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: had I owned Inuyasha then I would not be writing this now would I, this would have been an actual episode and I would have been on Hawaii sipping Margarita's.

-Prologue-

Later, Kagome would swear before the court of Law that it had all been an accident.

"Damn it!" Kagome muttered angrily as she sped through the forest. The demon had not been very powerful and she and her friends had made the grave mistake of underestimating it. She should have known: Caterpillar demons were unpredictable. Not to mention disgusting. Somehow the demon had woken up after it was killed, twice as strong. And in the commotion she and her friends had been separated. Which is why she was running through the forest at night, alone and with a creepy (in more ways than one) Caterpillar demon in hot pursuit. Muttering another string of curses she tried to simultaneously avoid tree roots and attacks form the demon.

Of course she could not be blamed for crashing into something in front of her. Or rather: someone. It was to be expected. With her face buried in some kind of soft fluffy material she heard a surprisingly girly scream from what she hoped was the Caterpillar.

Looking up she saw what she had expected but prayed not to be. Lord Sesshomaru of the West. That and the head of the demon who chased her. Eww, just ew.

"You will release this Sesshomaru at once, miko"

Noticing she was indeed still pressed up against the Dog Taiyokai she quickly released him.

"T-thank you, Lord Sesshomaru…" she muttered feeling light in the head due to fatigue. She felt her legs giving out from under her.

Sesshomaru caught her, more on instinct then anything else. She was after all a female, the gender that required constant protection (1). He sighed in annoyance. And sat down to wait until his brothers miko would come back to her senses. Or until that annoyance of an Inuyasha came along, whichever came first.

But of course the woman felt the need to snuggle up to him and lay her head on his shoulder. It was only surprise that withheld him from shoving her off non to gently. Even in sleep this strange human seemed not to feel threatened by his presence. How in the world had his girl survived for this long if she didn't feel threatened by Taiyokai? How foolish. With the new threats that were created not long ago she should have known better. Admitted, his foolish brother probably hadn't even smelled the sent of danger in the air. Useless half-demon! He should not have allowed his Miko to wander of on her own in the first place. Wasn't he her alpha? He should be thinking about her safety, not rush into unknown danger. Yes truly a fool.

Kagome woke up feeling warm and comfortable. So she snuggled into the warm individual she laid next to. Wait… Individual? Her head shot up so fast it was a miracle she didn't get a whiplash. There was the Demon Lord of the West. Looking at her with bored eyes. She rechecked her position: half on top of him, one hand in his hair another on his chest. All in all snuggled into his fur for warmth. Oh, Dear, just what I need.

Sesshomaru let out a low growl, one she only noticed because her hand was still on his chest. He was angry with her, she assumed, and why wouldn't he be? she should get away form him this instant!

In her haste to let go her other hand got tangled up in his hair. And just when she thought it could not get any worse, it did: in the process of trying to release her hand, she scratched his ear. Kagome was about to profusely apologise (It was a miracle she wasn't dead yet), when she heard a noise that had mad het fall still and stare at the Demon Lord wide eyed. His chest vibrated again, but this time she had a feeling that it was in contentment. Did he just purr? No way, I must be hearing things right? RIGHT? Kagome was near hysterics. She was so dead now...

But it seemed that she hadn't dreamed that out of character purring. When she looked in his eyes she saw them turning red. Not 'I'm going to change into a terrifying huge demon dog' red but still quite red. He made that content noise again and she understood. In came to her like a rock hitting her head at 200 miles per hour. He liked to get scratched behind the ears.. just like any ordinary pet dog,he liked to be scratched behind the ears.

He was completely out of it, she saw that there was no trace of the normal Lord Sesshomaru left in his eyes, her only companion was his beast now. She knew not to make any sudden moves, for like any wild animal he would attack her. With out a doubt in her mind she knew that he would kill her if that happened. She didn't dare call forth her powers, for that would certainly unleash the dog demons natural fight or… well fight instinct. So she just sat there with him at her side, and scrached his ear from time to time.

And that is how her friends found her. Their jaws hitting the forest floor. And be honest, can you blame them…?

A/N: Well… that was interesting.

(1) No, this is not my opinion on the matter (Hello? I'm an authoress!) but I would imagine it would be Sesshomaru's. the only reason I'm explaining myself because I could feel the feminist in me complaining about that line and I didn't want to feel the wrath of all the other feminists out there.

Tell me anything you want: How you liked the story, What I can do to improve, Grammar/spellings errors, Relationship troubles you're having, whatever else you want to share. I'm a review whore.
