1I had been here for what seemed like a thousand years, but I knew it was only a few. The shards grew less and less spread out and then it was only the shards in Kouga, Kohaku, and Naraku. I hadn't given it much thought to what I was going to do after we completed the Jewel and wished Kohaku back. It's a selfless wish, I know.

Sango needed her little brother back though. I suppose it was for the best because now they live in Kaede 's village. Miroku lost his curse and ended up marrying Sango.

No surprise there. I smirk at my forwardness. Before we laid Kikyou to rest, she laid a spell upon me, for what reason I do not know. It wasn't a bad spell, at least to me it isn't.

I am now a Dog Demon. Funny isn't it? My markings are all there. Even the kawii little moon. It seemed to go well with my attitude. My hair remained black but it is now enhanced with some blue streaks. My eyes turned into a gold.

It matched my Kimono's perfectly. I decided to stay in the Feudal Era for I would live to see my family again. I'll keep myself out of harms way, after all, I was an ace in history.

Maybe I can change the world around a little bit to where as demons and humans coexists. I 'keh' at that in Inuyasha 's style of brushing things off. I still loved humans and all, but they never got it. Sango and Miroku along with the villagers were the only humans to understand that I mean no harm. I'm actually a pretty nice girl you know?

I huffed and crossed my arms. But 'they just can't trust a demon' I say mocking them in the same tone I use when a bitch is getting on my nerves.

Unfortunately, I found out that Bitch in Inu was a very respectable name. I suppose that's what we are though right? Female dogs in heat? I 'keh' again at the chauvinism of these Inu Men. There's no way that I, Kagome, would be pushed around like I was a man's slave.

Oh no. I'll put up a fight. I loved Inuyasha and all, I really did, but I just didn't think he loved me. When he asked me to become his mate, I kindly declined, Although I wanted the plead yes to the heavens. I kept my head high after apologizing and walked off lightly.

I seemed to have acquired the grace of Sesshomaru, the mental abilities of a genius, and the power of a transformed dog demon. In Kikyou 's stupidity, she forgot to take away my miko powers, Which I was and still am thankful for.

The demon and miko self healing powers really come in handy. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that I regenerated faster than naraku would have at full strength.

I know I'm being a little arrogant, but it's in my blood right? I smirked. Inuyasha found a lovely mate. She was nice and generous, and I got along with her easily. I was glad Inuyasha moved on from Kikyou, but the empty feeling still resides in my very bones.

I suppose that my idea of love is romantic strolls on a beach, someone knowing the exact detail of what I like, how I like it, and when it should be done. I'm too picky right? I thought so. But who wouldn't want to grace This Kagome with that? Oh great, here I am talking like Sesshomaru, I better stop that before I get an icicle shoved up my ass.

I snickered. Speaking of Sesshomaru, He still had Rin, jaken, and Ah and Un. I still don't understand why he asked me to live at his castle.

I accepted his proposition. Although I didn't want to leave Sango behind, He assured me I would be able to visit her any time I pleased, which I was thankful for because she's like a perfect sister. The kind of sister that can read your thoughts, and emotions without you even having to speak a word.

"Kagome." I heard someone say. I was interrupted from my thoughts by Sesshomaru. "Sesshomaru." I said, brushing him off. I want to go back to the story!!! "You will address this Sesshomaru as Lord Sesshomaru, Do you understand?" he said, giving me the cold glare he always does. "Yes Lord Sesshomaru." I said sarcastically.

I bowed several times and asked him if I needed to get him anything before I walked out the door. He growled but let it slip. "And Mikodemon" I heard him say from inside the door. "Refrain from talking to yourself." "FINE" I said stomping off, besides, I was talking to you guys.. Wasn't I? Oh well. I go down to the table and sit in my designated spot. I really don't know why I sit at the right of Sesshomaru.

I moved in with him a month ago, I guess I haven't given it much thought. The only person that's suppose to sit on the left and right of the lord is the children and mate. OH MY KAMI Mate?!?! I jump up and look at him. Glaring. "I see what you're trying to do now!! You want to mate with me." Sesshomaru let a smirk graze his lips. Oh how I so much wanted to smack that smirk off his face. "I would do no such thing, You are still a nigein in my books." He said, brushing me off.

"Lord Sesshomaru.. Do you not like Rin because she is human?" Rin asked the demon sitting to her right. "No Rin, You are my little girl. I could never hate you." he said, He leaned over and ruffled her hair. I watched. Sesshomaru doesn't show that kind of emotion to anyone. And obviously since I seen it, he must be really pissed off. But to my surprise, he continued to act like I wasn't even there. I heard a very loud thud at the door. I suspected it was that damned door knocker of his, it took 2 hands to use it Sesshomaru motioned for a servant to get the door before I could get up.

We sat at the table, waiting for our guest to enter the dining room. Wait.. Our guest? It was his house, not mine, I have no guests. I turned my head away for a second, to grab a bit more food from my plate. I back to find Kagura in the doorway. I look to Sesshomaru. He looked somehow displeased of her presence. "Hi Kagura" I chirped happily, the kind of fake happy that makes me sick now.

I brushed off the feeling before it started messing with the food I recently engulfed. She nodded my way. She was never much on talking to me. She graced her way to Sesshomaru and tried to sit on his lap. He growled lowly. I too began growling, why? I do not know. Sesshomaru noticed this and looked at me shocked before turning back to Kagura. "Oh Sesshy-babe.. I need a favor!" Kagura shrieked.

Gods how I hated her voice. The kind of nails on a chalkboard voice. I quickly regained my composure before anyone noticed, or so I hoped. Rin giggled and I knew she saw so I turned her way and winked.

She felt the same as me, she didn't really like Kagura, she suspected that she wanted Lord Sesshomaru as a mate and she told me not to let her. Which I would do anyways. Again, I do not know why. "What is it Kagura?" Letting his annoyed emotion show through the cold mask he put up so very often, you'd think he'd never took it off.

"I need a Mate." she said. I really growled at that. "How Dare You, come in my castle and talk to my lord like that, he is too worthy for the likes of you." I spat. Rin was laughing now and sesshomaru looked utterly shocked. I don't know what came over me, I guess it's just from the food. Kagura turned her snaky eyes to me. "You still have this thing in your castle Sesshomaru?" She stressed the word Thing and You. It made me sick. "She is not a thing, you on the other hand.. Are. I cannot help you with your favor, go find a reincarnation of Naraku or something. You two go well together." He said, pushing her off him.

I smirked triumphantly. I laughed evilly in my mind. I showed Kagura to the door before shouting in her face "He's mine Whore!" and slamming the door in her face. God that felt good. I walked back into the dinning room. Rin had regained herself before I left so she was now back to eating. Sesshomaru on the other hand had a certain glint in his eyes that made me wonder what he was going to be up to.

Sesshomaru 's P.O.V.

I was about to return eating when I heard kagome yell "He's mine whore!" I smiled in my head. I like the mikodemon, I'll give her that. But this Sesshomaru refuses to share his feelings first. I watch as she comes back into the room. I know she sees the tint in my eyes. Yes. I do have a good plan. She will tell me her feelings towards this Sesshomaru before the end of the week. She's a rebellious thing, an entertaining sight for this old castle.

It was beginning to get boring here without some entertainment, she proved to be just that. Not like that is my only reason for bringing her here. No, Oh no. She was a demon, therefore now I could finally have her. I liked her as a human, but this was so much better.

I would never have been able to have her as a mate if she were human, I wouldn't allow myself. I thought Inuyasha 's ex would be a problem, but she actually ended up helping me. "Sesshomaru." I was snapped out of my thoughts as the girl stood before me, waving her hands in front of my face. "Lord." I growl. I know she'll never learn completely, but it's fun watching her get mad.

He smirked to himself. I watched as she was about to rant on about how she can never be taught into doing something she thought was pointless. "You will need to say lord and lady when I present you." I said, smirking. Yes. I would leave her in curiosity of what I'm presenting her as. Lord of the West, of course.

But she won't know that until the night of the Youkai Ball. Until then, I have all week to make her fall for this Sesshomaru. Hard and fast. I leave Kagome while she proceeds to whine about what I'm presenting her as. I let out a low chuckle. She wouldn't get it out of me.

Kagome 's P.O.V.

Why the nerve of that .. Ugh, there's no use fighting it. Sesshomaru won't tell me, I know he won't. I finish eating and excuse myself from the table. I walk up to the indoor spring and take a nice hot bath. I do miss the baths in my time but these are good too. I pick up my hand from the water and let it drip off my claws.

I let a little bit of my poison drip into the water. Sometimes I like to bathe in my poison. It's a nice scent. It doesn't smell of decay, but of some scent I can't place. I sigh and shake my head. It doesn't matter I suppose. I get done bathing go into my room. I see my old pajama's repaired and laying on my bed. I smiled and rushed to put them on. I twirled my finger and wind quickly came and dried my hair. That was a nice and handy tool to have.

I remember the first time I ever used it. I blew Inuyasha right into a tree. I snickered. I suddenly felt sad. I miss my friends a lot, but I can't go back, for we're having a ball at the end of the week. "I should ask sesshomaru in the morning if they can come to the ball." I mumble into the darkness. I hear light movement. I turn around sharply, claws dripping. Sesshomaru chuckled a cold chuckle and smirked as he came out of the darkness.

"That's funny Mikodemon. Very amusing." he said, still smirking. "One of these days I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face." I said. "If you do not wish your friends to come to the ball, then do so now." he said, still that damned smirk never faulting. I sigh defeat. Nope. It's not over yet. He let his smirk grow into a full blown smile.

"Good, Mikodemon, Now rest, tomorrow holds many surprises." he said before reaching the door. I stop him. "Ka-gom-e! Listen to me for cripes sakes" I shouted. He mearly smirked again and shut the door behind him. I could see that unknown look in his eye again. Something will defiantly be up tomorrow. I can feel it. I roll into bed and try to get some sleep. Just before I daze off, I remember changing into the pajama's.

Oh god, was he in here? I felt my face grow hot. "SESSHOMARUUUUUUUUU" I shout. I hear a snort from the other end of the hall.

Sesshomaru 's P.O.V.

So she remembers now? Yes. I was there when she was getting dressed. I couldn't help it. Her scent was alluring. I had to look. I do not regret what I did. For a Lord regrets nothing.
