First off you have to understand. I LOVE the Kagome/Sesshomaru pairings. I think they are soooo cute together. Okay. Um. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I defiantly do not own Inuyasha. Or Sesshomaru, or Kagome. Sadly.

Pygmalion

The only thing she could remember was that her name was Kagome and she came from the future. She didn't know how she got to the past, for this was obviously the past, nor did she remember how she got to be in this room.

The room was exquisitely decorated and spoke of wealth. The pallet she was on was covered in heaps and heaps of silk and satin, fur and down. There were curtains keeping the sun out and those looked to be velvet. She closed her eyes though and breathed deeply.

It's a terrifying thing to wake up and have no idea who you are, or even what you look like. She had noticed a small chamber to her right and realized gratefully it was a bathroom. It obviously didn't have plumbing seeing as she was in the past but it had water and hopefully a mirror.

She stood from amidst the most comfortable bed she could possible imagine and walk along the cold mats to the bathroom.

Running her hands along the wall she felt a crescent moon. Something, some whisper of a memory stirred in her, but was gone before he could concentrate on it.

Sighing she walked into the bathroom and say a natural spring. It was a natural spring tub to wash in and a mirror with a basin to freshen up. She made a beeline for the mirror, knowing that seeing herself would bring some comfort.

She was pretty she decided looking into the mirror. Being completely objective of course. She had long hair, so black there were hints of blue, and chocolate brown eyes with flecks of amber, but the most startling thing of all: long elf-like ears. The fact that enormous "earrings" decorated with fangs hung from those ears didn't startle her, even when she noticed that they could come off.

Her second discovery that morning that should have shocked her into at least screaming, came when she touched the "earrings". All at once she noticed that her senses seemed to be kicking into overdrive. She could hear the tinniest drop outside of her window and the muffled giggle of a girl close by. She could feel the tinniest etchings on her "earrings" which happened to be a moon and she could most definitely smell the demon now approaching her room.

"Demon," she whispered to herself. The word popped into her head and in the blink of an eye all the information she had stored in her on demons resurfaced. In human form demons usually had distinctive marking or something that indicated their heritage.

She touched her ears again and her eyes widened. "I'm a demon."

"So it would seem." The youkai said as he entered her room as if he owned it. Later she would realize he did own it.

Looking at the youkai Kagome blushed. Her inner youkai, she could only assume it was that, instantly leaped to attention. She couldn't blame her more animalistic nature though, he was the most gorgeous thing she had ever seen. But since she didn't remember seeing any other male, that wasn't really saying much.

He had long platinum hair, longer even than hers. His eyes were a startling shade of gold, and his ears were long and elf-like, like hers were. The blue crescent moon on his forehead and dramatic magenta stripes on his cheeks added to his appearance. And the delicate stripe on his upper eyelids spoke of his position and rank. Like the moon on the wall something about him gave her a whisper of something she had forgotten.

Her youkai informed her immediately that he was perhaps only slightly stronger than she was and that therefore they should mate. He other side, the side Kagome couldn't quite understand, informed her that he was to be trusted.

"I'm sorry but I have no idea who you are." Kagome's calm question obviously startled the taiyoukai.

He stepped farther into the room and waved away a little green toad youkai. He walked closer to Kagome and took a dignified sniff. His eyes widened, which Kagome was sure didn't happen often. He took a step away from her.

"My name is Sesshomaru, and I am the taiyoukai of the western lands. I found you laying on the ground unconscious, not far from this castle and brought you here."

It wasn't a complete lie, Sesshomaru admitted but it was defiantly not the entire truth. But he had reasons for keeping the truth from his Kagome.

Flashback

"Hello Sesshomaru, may I sit next to you?"

Giving neither a yes or no he stared straight ahead. When Kagome did sit down next to him it surprised him to say the least, not that he showed it.

"Now that you're here living and traveling with us I wanted to apologize for when we first met."

Sesshomaru was startled, which annoyed him, which annoyed him even more. Why did this girl produce these odd emotions in him. He had seen others use these emotions and he had felt some before, but people generally ranked so low on his conscious that they didn't produce anything out of him. Yet she so easily made him feel surprised and annoyed and startled. Why? He could feel his youkai gently nudging for him to take the girl, but that shouldn't have that much sway over him.

Seeing Sesshomaru look confused Kagome continued.

"I'm sorry for pulling the sword out of the rock, if I had know that Inuyasha was going to cut your entire arm off I think I might have tried to stop him."

"I probably would have seriously injured you, if not killed that day. My worthless half brother only did what he thought was best, so in that instance he wasn't a complete failure."

"Even so," Kagome said taking on a serious look, "I would like to help you."

Sesshomaru merely looked at her and raised a silver brow.

"I promise not to hurt you." Kagome said as she placed he hand on his left arm. A pink light enveloped his arm and Kagome started to struggle. His youkai was screaming to push her away. The miko energy repelled him, but something told him to stay as still as possible. Looking at the pink light slightly hurt him but he couldn't look away. Suddenly a piercing light filled his eyes, temporarily blinding him, but he felt Kagome start to fall. He caught her and jumped as he felt his left arm responded to the command. His left arm???

Setting her down as carefully as he could he brought his arm up for inspection as the light cleared from his eyes. What power the girl must have to regenerate something that not even his youkai could do. It had cost her though, he thought as he looked at her unconscious form. She gave up something to give him this wonderful gift, and he didn't know why. He didn't particularly know her that well, as he had only been traveling with her and his brother for a week. Why give something up and hurt herself for a youkai, who moments ago wouldn't have batted an eyelash if she had died. As he waited for her to open her eyes he wondered.

End Flashback

"Oh." Kagome said. "Was I running away from you? Because I seem to know you and I can't remember much but I remember your face." She had no clue why she was so calm about the whole thing, but that other part of her told her he was trustworthy.

"No you weren't running away from me." Suddenly complete out of no where Sesshomaru got an idea. He got a wonderful, awful idea. "Someone stole you from me. " He stepped closer to her and took he wrist to his mouth grazing his teeth across it. For most youkai this was the equivalent of kissing a lady's hand. "I realize you can't remember but you were my intended."

Bum bum buuuuuuuuuuuum.

Why would Sesshomaru do something so cute and devious???

Oh wait, I know why, I wrote it. :

Um yeah so hope you liked it! There will be more to come.
