"This is it!"

'I am finished I swear on all that is good I can not take it anymore!' Kagome thought to herself a sob wracking her chest. "No one can be that stupid!" The crunch of the leaves beneath her feet becoming the soundtrack to her silent despair. Her hands and feet had become numb from the cool winter air and her muscles ached with exhaustion; when the burning in her lungs became too much she stopped, placing her hands on her bloodied knees. When she had left the group the sun had just begun to rise, she watched as it now changed the sky's color with its departure.

She stood in a meadow. The grass was lush and green, flowing through the clearing in a whimsical circle. The trees stood tall embracing the meadow, providing a comforting shade to rest. There were still butterflies fluttering from flower to flower despite winters close arrival. The fireflies quickly illuminating the night. In the center of the meadow, hidden behind mounds of rock and plum moss, was a hot spring. She walked to the spring, finally catching her breath and dropped her bag to the ground. Taking off her sweaty uniform she melted into the steaming water, her muscles loosening in its warm caress.

She caught her reflection in the water taking in her wild image. Her black hair was shrouding her face like a lions mane, her eyes red from the tears and her lips were puffy and swollen. She look just like a girl whose heart had been ripped out of her chest. "He is always running to her, I am only 16 why do I have to fall in love with a guy who can't see past his dead girlfriend." She scrubbed her soiled clothes harshly against the nearby rocks.

She closed her eyes letting her power rise up and encompass her body with its healing warmth. "Who am I kidding I will always be the replacement, only ever second place to that bitch." She silently concentrated breathing in and out, feeling as her power healed her battered body; now only if it could do the same for her battered heart.

Lord Sesshomaru was patrolling the western lands as he often had done throughout the decades. It was a first in a long while that Rin and Jaken had not joined him on his endeavor and with reason. It was mating season and while he, being a higher classed demon could control his animal urges, it still put him on edge. He had just finished circling the perimeter for the 3rd time before deciding to settle down in a nearby meadow.

He was familiar with this meadow, he had first come here when he was still a child. It was a place his mother use to bring him while she hid from her crown, they would spend days soaking in the sun and lounging on the grass. He had kept it preserved long after she had left him. It was a place where he held only fond memories of his mother, not the blistering cold ones she had left everywhere else. As he entered the meadow he was instantly aware of the human who had trespassed on his land. He knew this human to be one of the wenches his half brother Inuyasha kept around, she was the one with the strange garments and foreign speech. He briefly wondered why she was here before slamming her against a nearby tree.

"Explain your presence." The silky baritone voice swept through her body making her hair rise. Her back prickled with pain, her under garments being the only protection she against the rough bark of the tree. It took her a moment to muster up enough air to let out a small wheeze "I can't breath." He released her and watched as she fell into a heap on the floor. He stood there silent waiting for a response. She rubbed her neck while slowly rising to her feet, now that she had a steady flow of oxygen she was surprised to see the face of Inuyasha's half brother. Her eyes widening even more so when she realized her current state of dress. "Shit!" She hissed under her breath. "I am here to take a bath and rest a while." She let out a strangled yelp as she was once again pressed against the tree. "Are you aware of whose land you have just entered?" His voice was chilling and eerie. "No." She whispered afraid that any loud noise would set him off. He let her fall again to his feet.

"I am so sorry Lord Sesshomaru I didn't realize that this was your land, I didn't know where I was going I-"

"Where is the demon slayer, monk and half-breed?" She chewed her lip in apprehension before answering. "I am not traveling with them anymore." She rubbed her hand gently on her bruised backside.

It was this movement that brought Sesshomaru to notice her strange garments. It was a thin, sheer, black material that covered her most coveted areas. It was unusual and provocative, something he hadn't seen on even the most common whore. When his gaze finally came back up, he was amused to notice the red hue her face had taken. "Funny that you are still able to blush." He watched as her eyebrows crinkled in confusion and anger. "what do you mean?"

"You are embarrassed at my gaze yet are dressed as a whore." He once again let his eyes roam over her exposed flesh. "Look here, I am no whore, in fact I am far from it!" She balled up her fists letting them press against her thighs. "Are you so far fetched as to imply that you are virginal?" If Sesshomaru was a laughing man he would have let out a small chuckle at such a statement. "Are you implying that I am lying?" She challenged, fear temporarily replaced with fury.

"Hn." He responded letting his Icy glare fall in her shoulders. "Leave my lands before you taint it with your filth." He said turning away from her. "Wait!" She shouted reaching out to stop him. "look I promise you I am as pure as they come, if there was a way that I could prove that to you I would but I can't so please let me stay awhile!" She begged falling to her knees once again. "I need somewhere to stay, please I won't survive the winter out there."

"Prove it." She was startled to hear his voice was closer than before. She looked up eyes weary. "Please I'll do anything."

"Come here." Reluctantly she stepped forward till she was a breath away from Lord Sesshomaru. "How-" She gasped in fear as he pushed her body flush against his own. "If I feel a barrier you are free to stay in these lands until winter has come to an end, If there is no barrier you won't have to worry about winter being your demise." She cried out as long slender fingers plunged inside her.

Sesshomaru was almost disappointed when he felt the light fleshy barrier that was her hymen. She had brought out a sudden aggression in him that he would have loved to take out on her sudden death, but it seemed as if he would have to find another way.

Kagome should have known when the Lord had spent much too long checking her hymen, that something had gone terribly wrong. His shoulder had become tense and when he finally released her, his red eyes held her own as he licked her from his fingers.

"Fuck."
