Disclaimer: I do not, whatsoever, own Inuyasha, it utterly belongs to Takahashi Rumiko. Genius that she was. Also, i disclaim Winter Sleep, as lovely as the song is, it, alas, belongs to the even lovelier OLIVIA. Please check out the song if you haven't heard it.


Chapter 1: Voices in the Dark

"Do you love me?" his deep, cold voice disturbed the silence of the dark room. He already knew the answer, he hardly considered it a question, and it was more of a test so he could see just how far she was willing to go for him. The girl that had her back displayed before him was always so eager to please him. And that enticed him further to her. What he had for her love wasn't love, it was more along the lines of affection, that's what he considered this tender obsession to be. Pushing her to her own brink, and hungrily receiving what she was so willing to give. It was the only reason why he had held onto her so greedily. Why he still had her around this long. Why he hasn't disposed of her.

"Of course I do! Haven't I done enough for you to know the answer to that already?" she exclaimed over her shoulder

"Show me." The warmth of his breath caressed the shell of her ear, awakening her hunger for him again.

"...how?" a cold, sharp object was pressed into her palm, surprising her. Chills of thrill rose up her spin, quickening her pulse. This was why she had fallen for this insane man. He accepted her darker side, the side that her own father had invoked in her.

"Kagura Watanabe, do you know her?" he whispered into her ear, a firm hand snaking around her small waist, pulling her flush against his naked body.

"Yeah...why?" she whispered, knowing exactly where this was heading.

"You don't need me to explain."


A/N: Before i move on, I thought I'd let you guys know that the mysterious lovers I.D's will be figured out soon, so don't fret my lovelies. And i know that this was a very VERY short chapter, but I hope it was enough to entice ya'll out there.

Also if you some of you out there want to burn me, then don't, i prefer constructive criticism. Like that it'll help me be a better writer for you guys.
