Hello everyone,

I hope you enjoy it =)

Chapter 1: Uncommon Kindness

Kagome, in a typical situation as the damsel in distress, is trapped within a caged cart owned by a band of lesser demons. Although she wasn't the only human in the cage, many others were captured for slavery or food.

Flashback

The group was sitting around the fire having a merry time eating their late night dinner, chatting about battle strategy if they come across Naraku, when Inuyasha sudden stood up, sniffing the air.

"Inuyasha, what is it?" asked Kagome, a bit confused.

"I smell demons, maybe twenty or thirty of them. They're coming this way."

Everyone stood up and gathered their weapons, waiting for the demons to arrive.

"There they are!" yelled Kagome pointing down the road to their left.

The demons fled into their camp site, surrounding the group of friends, cutting each member off from one another. The leader of the demon group looked at Kagome with hunger.

"Capture the raven haired girl in the unusual clothing and take her back to camp!" yelled the leader.

"To hell you'll take Kagome!" Inuyasha responded.

The demons immediately started attacking the group. They each had about three or four demons to fight off. Kagome had about five or six on her, determined to capture her. She fired an arrow between two demons and they disintegrated at the power of her sacred arrow's light. The demons leader smirked. Kagome was out numbered. A demon unexpectedly appeared behind her, she didn't have enough time to turn completely around before she was hit over the head and knocked out. The demon leader picked her up and swung her over his shoulder, walking away as his underlings fought the group off.

"Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha, as the demon took her away.

The demon holding Kagome disappeared into the night.

End Flashback…

The sun was in the middle of the sky as Kagome slowly regained her consciousness. Her vision a little blurry, she blinked, as she pushed her body up into a sitting position. She looked around; there were a few other women in the cage with her.

"What happened to you girls?" she asked.

"Our village was attacked and we were all taken by these demons," replied one of the women.

"Apparently we are to be their slaves," said another woman.

Suddenly Kagome was grabbed by her arm from behind.

She twisted around so see Rin absolutely frightened.

"Oh Rin!" she half yelled, wrapping her arms around the small girl. "Are you okay? How did you end up in here?"

"I'm alright," replied Rin, returning Kagome's embrace. "Jaken and I were waiting for Lord Sesshomaru to come back when we were ambushed by these demons. I've been here a couple days and it's not like Lord Sesshomaru to take this long in rescuing me, so I'm a little worried."

"I'm sure he'll show up soon enough," said Kagome, reassuring the girl.

A demon walked by the cage and noticed that Kagome was awake, "She's awake my Lord!"

A boar demon walked over to the cage and smiled at Kagome, "It seems the girl has a friend," he noted, looking at the little girl in Kagome's arms.

He flicked his head to the side signaling his lackey to bring them out. The other demon nodded and opened the cage as the boar walked towards his "throne." It walked into the cage towards Kagome and Rin. He grabbed Kagome's arm and dragged her and the little girl out of the cage, locking the barred door behind them.

"Stand up!" he commanded.

Kagome stood up, Rin still wrapped in her arms. The demon walked them over to his Lord and shoved Kagome to the ground on her knees. The terrified look on Rin's face made the boar smile.

"The priestess will be my wife. As for the little girl…she's dinner!" yelled the boar.

The whole camp of demons roared with hunger.

"To hell I'll be your wife!" yelled Kagome, "And you won't be eating Rin!"

"Oh?" replied the boar, intrigued.

Another demon came from behind and grabbed Rin by her hair, attempting to rip her out of Kagome's arms. They gripped each other tighter, trying to stay together.

"Lord Sesshomaru save me!" screamed Rin.

As if on cue a loud explosion sounded within the camp, followed by a, extremely pissed off, roar. Kagome got up and started running away from the scene, demons running after her. She came to a tall barricade blocking her escape. She held Rin tighter as she was backed into the wall, cornered. Another roar could be heard throughout the camp. Kagome looked directly ahead, past the demons. Out of the smoke and fire emerged a red eyed Sesshomaru looking for his ward.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" yelled Rin, excitement in her eyes.

Sesshomaru's eyes returned to normal as he glanced in the direction of his ward. He shifted his eyes to see whose arms were around her. He recognized the woman's face, 'Inuyasha's wench…what is she doing in a place such as this?' he thought to himself.

A demon came from behind Kagome and grabbed firm hold of her hair, pulling it, making her scream in both pain and surprise. The demon pulled her backwards, her back arching as he did so. Rin screamed with fright as the demon tried to pull them out of sight. Sesshomaru's eyes flashed red at the sound of Rin and Kagome's screams. A green tether burst from his fingertip and with one movement every demon in the camp fell to the ground. The only one left was the boar which ran at Sesshomaru yelling in anger. The tether retracted as his hand started glowing with poison. He took one step and shoved his hand onto the boars face, searing the skin from its skull. The boar fell to the ground as did his lackeys only moments before. He walked towards the woman that was holding his ward tightly in her arms.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" yelled Rin as she jumped out of Kagome's hold.

Kagome stood up as she watched Rin run towards the all powerful Lord of the Western Lands. She walked towards Sesshomaru until they were but five feet away from one another. Rin stood proudly by him while Jaken the little toad demon and Ah-Un, Sesshomaru's two headed companion, came running from the trees.

"My Lord! Are you in need of any…" he yelled but stopped in mid sentence as he realized there was no more danger.

"Jaken!" yelled Rin excitedly, as she ran towards him and scooped him up for a hug.

"Get off me you insolent…" he said trying to get away from the child.

"Miko…"

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome replied, bowing in respect.

Sesshomaru was surprised. The young miko had never addressed him in such a formal manner, nor had she ever addressed him in the first place. "How did you end up in a situation such as this?" he questioned.

"Well our group was attacked and one of the demons knocked me out. Next thing I knew I woke up here," she replied.

'Of course, my half breed of a brother can't even protect himself let alone his companions,' he thought. "Well Miko. In return for protecting my ward I shall escort you safely back to your companions. If you so wish it."

Kagome, not wanting to decline his generous offer, slowly nodded in reply.

Sesshomaru then walked past Kagome in the direction of his half brother's stink, Rin skipping behind him while Jaken and Ah-Un followed. Kagome spun around and followed the group.

"Hold on Lord Sesshomaru!" she yelled.

He stopped immediately and turned his face slightly to his right. "What is it miko?" he asked, irritated.

"We can't just leave these women here. They'll die."

"Fine but they are on their own once they are out. You have three minutes to set them free, I do not want to waste time here." he replied.

Kagome scrambled to find the demon that had held the keys to the cage. She ran over to the dead demons and looked around their bodies. The keys were nowhere to be found. She looked up and saw the keys over by a tree, they must have been knocked over there during the battle. She jogged to them and picked them up. She ran back to the caged women and tried every key on the key ring. It came down to the last key out of six. She shoved it in the lock hoping it would be the right one and twisted. The tumbler turned and the metal clashed together as the door was unlocked. She swung it open as the women fled out and said their thank you's to the miko. Kagome dropped the keys and walked towards Sesshomaru.

"Are you satisfied miko?"

"Yes," she replied.

Sesshomaru continued his walk towards his ever so annoying destination his companions plus the miko, following. They walked till nightfall when they came to a small clearing in the forest.

"We shall rest here for the night," said the Lord, as his companions sat on the ground.

Kagome gathered some sticks around the trees to make a fire as Sesshomaru sat against a large tree trunk. Kagome made a small fire, not to attract too much attention to the small group.

Kagome leaned against a small tree trunk as Rin ran up to her and asked, "May I sleep with you Kagome?"

Kagome opened her arms to the girl as she sat down in her lap. Sesshomaru watched them cuddle as they fell asleep. He was pleased that his ward had such a bond with another human. He stood up and walked over to the sleeping girls. He took off his outer haori and placed it around Kagome's shoulders to keep both girls warm. He then resumed his place under the large tree and closed his eyes, drifting off to a light sleep.

Everyone was soon awoken by a loud crash through the trees across the clearing as Inuyasha angrily burst through the trees screaming for Kagome.

So that was the first chapter of many that I am in progress of writing.

Please review it and tell me what you think because I am not sure if I will continue to post it.

If I do continue to post this story I will wait till it is finished because I do not like the pressure of deadlines and I don't like to keep people waiting.

That is all XD 3
