The sky was clear, the air crisp, the stars twinkled over kagome's head as she looked up at them. Her body submerged in the hot-spring she was bathing in only moments ago. the sweet smell of her strawberry shampoo, gently tickled the nose of the the taiyoukai guarding her. His form and face unchanging as he inhaled deeper gently rolling the smell around, deciding he much preferred it to the smell of dirt that usually coated humans in his era. his eyes slid down his head barely moving as from his position high in a tree he had a wonderful view of her body through the water, his beast purred inside his mind as he simply looked away, his icy facade never wavering even as in his mind a silent war was occurring.

He couldn't remember how long ago it was she had began her slow invasion of his mind, but he guessed it was around the day inuyasha had made his final mistake.

[Flashback]

Kagome had just gotten back from one of her few trips home, it seemed the longer the hunt for the shards went on the less time she got to go back, and it was showing in her grades. she sighed heavily shaking her head, she didn't even bother to bring her study books in her pack this time, the now dull yellow thing hung from her back by threads it seemed many stains and patches on it revealed the many adventured it had endured, she smiled gently and patted it promising soon it would get to find its retirement.

"soon hopefully, maybe mom can take me shopping i need some new clothes too". She looked down at herself one of her many school uniforms adorned her now almost fully grown body and she had to admit it looked even more skimpy than before her short skirt barely covered her rear and her short shirt had at some point become so short her bellybutton showed. "god what was i thinking oh yeah heh wasent, no! theres no problem going back in time in my old school girl outfit right! no horny youkais and humans to gawk at me! of course not!"she sighed mentally noteing to get new clothes too as she tugged her skirt trying desperately to get it to grow longer, witch of course, it didn't, just her luck.

Suddenly she looked around noticing something amiss, lost in her own thoughts she hadn't noticed right away the lack of yelling, and name calling from inuyasha that always greeted her returns. She sighed heavily already knowing where the dog was "with his damned clay pot humping her like a puppy in head probably" she rolled her eyes she had found out long ago about his little trists though the more it went on the less she cared she jumped shivers going down her spine when a deep, and seemingly uncaring voice behind her announced the presence of sesshomaru.

"miko" He smirk seeing her reaction and gently lay a hand on her shoulder she turned her eyes wide as they met his confusion evident on her face, he nodded and the contact was over as soon as it had began, her shoulder was still warm from his touch her mind seemed to be in distress as it processed this "warm? wait hes warm! the ice prince has warmpth!"during her small meltdown the taiyoukai studied her ever changeing features curiously, she obviously was crazy but none the less he needed her help.

"i require your assistance" he said again snapping her from her little world, the confusion on her face grew but he gave her no time to slip back into her world asking herself useless questions. "rin is...growing and this sesshomaru had relized he requires a caretaker to teach her of her...female anatomy" he rolled the words around his toung awkwardly not knowing exactly how to put it. "it seems human females her age go through a certain 'change'?" he added the look of confusion slowly fading from kagome's face only to be replaced with slight embarrasement. "Of all the females he could of chose why her? and what about her quest? her friends? inuya-" she almost thought it but stopped it decideing she didn't give a damn if he fell off a cliff or went to hell with kikyo anymore.

She nodded abit telling him she understood and before she could open her mouth the questions filling her mind begging to be spilled he began to talk again "I'm sure you have many questions miko but here and now is not the time nor place this Sesshomaru is very aware that your friends will wonder where you are if i keep you too long, tomorrow, meet me here again and we will discuss it further" His task complete he seen no reason to linger further and nodded slightly before turning and disappearing back into the forest leaving a puzzled kagome her mind desperately trying to catch up with everything when it finally processed she gave a confused glance in the direction he had disappeared and shook her head deciding to keep herself from thinking more on it until they're next 'meeting'. She returned to her friends and apologized for arriveing late, just as she had expected inuyasha was nowhere to be found. the next morning was filled with loud thuds as she sat him into oblivion.

[End Flashback]

Kagome looked over at Sesshomaru from the warm springs she relaxed in and sighed softly catching his attention she smiled apologetically and nodded "im gunna get out now kay?"He looked over at her shaken from his thoughts, and nodded understanding what she meant and jumped down from the tree and walked off to start a fire at base camp, giving her her privacy. She smiled happily and gently stood up stepping from the warm water and wrapping a pink fluffy town around her hair after quickly drying her body with it, and slipping on one of the light blue kimonos sesshomarus servants had made her it was short and more tight fitting than most, more comfortable as far as kagome was concerned, it was beautiful though like a work of art the array of orange and yellow koi fish swimming across it, as if she were wrapped in an underwater picture of a koi pond the sleeves and obi a gentle vanilla color finished it off and she fluffed her hair abit with the towel and repacked her bag, now fully dressed and clean she walked back to base camp.

When she arrived as she expected there was already a small fire going and he was sitting at the base of a tree seemingly deep in thoughts as always she smiled and set her stuff down, taking out a brush and sleeping bag. She layed out her pink sleeping bag and sat on it her attention moveing to the fire as well she stared at its crackling embers as she slowly brushed her messy hair taming it. Little to her knowledge she had gotten sesshomaru's attention, never before had he seen her use it, in such a trance, the light of the fire danced beautifully across her pale skin, the kimono snug on her body left little for his imagination, and her hair looked soft as silk at she ran the brush through it the raven black shimmering in the night with a gentle almost blue hue.

Kagome sighed abit biting her bottom lip abit as she shoved her brush back in the bad and zipped it closed, moving back and snuggling in her sleeping bag she softly fell asleep, his watchful gaze never leaving her small form, the surge of protectiveness in his form confused him further as he let his mind begin to wander where it had left off.
