AW555 : This is an idea that came to me while I was playing Dark Cloud 2. Yeah, weird, I know XD. I hope you guys enjoy it and please tell me what you thought!
Disclaimer : I do not own Inu Yasha or any of the characters in it. I would also like to state I did not get this idea from any other story and it is of my own ideas. I got this idea while playing a game so I am not plagiarizing!
Story
A Month in the Past
Kagome stared at the ground as she stood before the Grand Priest. If the other priests thought she was bowing her head in shame, they were dead wrong. She just did not want to look at the despicable, cruel, and evil beast called her uncle.
"Kagome Higurashi, do you know why you stand before me, waiting for your punishment, on this day?" the Grand Priest asked her.
"Cause all of you priests are stupid butt holes who have no hearts? And wouldn't use them even if you did have them?" Kagome replied as she finally looked up at her "dear" uncle with hatred in her eyes.
The Grand Priest's eyes sparkled.
"I could easily give you the death penalty yet you still are as smart mouthed as ever. But, you have given me an idea for what your punishment should be dear niece. I, the Grand Priest Yumiko, do hereby punish you, Kagome Higurashi, to be a spirit and to watch and protect Sesshomaru, the Lord of the Western Lands, till the day he falls in love or dies, whichever comes first."
"That is not fair! He is almost as heartless and cruel as you are! He'll never fall in love! Plus, why should I not just get the death penalty? Death is what waits for me after my punishment is it not?" Kagome said.
The Grand Priest shook his head.
"No, after you have completed your punishment you shall get your body back and be able to live your life as you so see it fit. We will not interfere anymore and you can do or love whomever you wish."
Present
Sesshomaru sighed in annoyance as he leant his head against his hand which was propped up against the arm of his throne. Why did they always celebrate his birthday so boringly? All the other lords and ladies would come, dance, and occasionally try and get him to mate their daughters.
Today was Sesshomaru's 20th birthday in youkai years, 75th in human years. He was currently watched the other lords and ladies dancing in his ball room, while he waited for the song to end so he could get his presents and go to bed.
Sesshomaru sighed in relief as the band stopped playing and he quickly sat up.
"Well Sesshomaru, it is time to open your presents!" Aneko, his aunt, said.
Sesshomaru growled before motioning for the presents to be brought to him.
"I am not a child anymore Aneko and I'd appreciate it if you'd treat me like the true lord I am."
Aneko ignored his comment and grabbed the first present she was handed.
"Hmm it says it's from the Grand Priest! I wonder what it could be?" Aneko said, opening it then blinking.
In the box was a necklace with a blue crescent moon on it. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the necklace as Aneko picked it up and put it on him.
"Aneko necklaces are a little too girly for lords of my status don't you think?" Sesshomaru asked.
'Baby, at least you're not stuck in it!' a small voice said in his head.
Sesshomaru tensed up and glared across the room, ignoring what his aunt was telling him. When the voice didn't say anymore Sesshomaru wrote it off as imagining it and went through the rest of the present ceremony.
That night, as Sesshomaru laid down on his bed, he pondered the voice once more. Where on earth had it come from? And why was it a girl's voice? Sesshomaru frowned as he stared at the ceiling.
'If you frown like that for too much longer your face will get stuck like that,' the voice said.
Sesshomaru's eyes widened.
'Girl, what are you doing in my head?' Sesshomaru asked.
'Well first of all my name isn't girl, it's Kagome and second of all let me tell you the whole story. I was once a regular human with a body, but I did something and was punished by the Grand Priest for it. His punishment was to place me in this necklace and give it to you on your 20th birthday. Now, we're stuck with each other till you fall in love…or die..' Kagome explained.
'Hm, this is easily fixable. I will cut off the Grand Priest's head then we shall find a way so you can get your body back and I'll get back to my life,' Sesshomaru said.
'Sorry big guy, no can do. The Grand Priest cursed this necklace so you can't take it off and only with him or one of his ancestors alive can I get freed once my punishment is over. And I hate to tell ya, but he hasn't had a kid yet,' Kagome told Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru growled before trying to rip the necklace off, only to find what the girl had said was true. The necklace wouldn't budge. Sesshomaru sighed.
'I am sorry to tell you human but we may be stuck with each other for eternity.'
'Huh? What do you mean?' Kagome asked.
'Youkais live a long, long time,' Sesshomaru replied.
'WHAT? ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU AREN'T EVEN GOING TO TRY AND FALL IN LOVE?' Kagome yelled.
'This Sesshomaru has no need for love and if you don't cease that yelling you'll find yourself with a need for a vocal box,' Sesshomaru said.
Kagome smirked, 'Try it, I'm just a voice, a ghost, spirit, like your guardian angle, so you can't hurt me,'
'Human, tomorrow we will be going to my father's library, and we shall try and find something that will get us out of this,' Sesshomaru said.
'Ok, we can try it but I'm tellin ya there's no other way to fix this,' Kagome said.
Sesshomaru growled as he turned to sleep on his side and wished he hadn't gotten out of bed this morning.
'Goodnight to you too!' the annoying voice of his new counterpart said.
Sesshomaru merely grunted back before trying to fall asleep.
AW555: I hope you guys enjoyed it! I thought it turned out fairly well myself. Please tell me what you thought!
