Sesshoumaru walked through the forest, awaiting his friend, Meng. He sat at a tree and sat there, waiting…
Kagome sighed as she walked in the forest. Her father was getting sicker and sicker, which meant she had to keep picking herbs and plants. She brought her bow and arrows and a dagger, just in case. She came at a clear view and gasped in delight as she saw a bunch of beautiful flowers and herbs that she needed. She got on her knees and put her basket in front of her. She began taking the herbs first, then started picking the flowers. She took the flower and smelled them. She smiled and put them in the basket. "Enjoying yourself?" she snapped. She instantly got her bow with an arrow already in place, aiming at the demon. He was a wolf demon. "What do you want?" she asked. He smiled and bowed. He had brown messy hair with black fur and gray armor (kind of like Kouga), with brown eyes, probably about 5'9 tall. "I am Hojo, forgive me. I was merely passing by and I smelled your exquisite scent." He said, standing straight. "Well hi, now please leave." She said. He smiled again and walked towards her. "And leave you in danger? Never." He said. She pulled the string back. "I will not repeat myself, please leave." She said. He shook his head and charged at her. She let go of the arrow, but he caught it and instantly broke it.
She gasped and screamed when he tackled her. He covered her mouth. "Now, is that how you treat strangers?" he asked, stroking her hair. She slipped out her dagger and was about to stab him, but he caught her, and knocked it out of her hand. He took both her wrists and pinned it over her head. "Don't you like me?" he asked. She growled and kneed him in the crotch, causing him to roll over in pain. She got up and got her basket, running in the forest. She was hoping she was going in the right way. She felt an arm around her waist and fought back immediately. Hojo smiled. "I love how you continue to fight me, quiet excellent from my future mate." Her eyes widened and she screamed. A thump hit the floor and they both looked to see a tall demon standing there. She gasped at him. He had silver hair, with pointy ears, with enchanting markings on his face, and with amber eyes. "Explain yourself Hojo." He stated. He let go of her and stood still. "Forgive me, Lord Sesshomaru. This human miko has caught my attention and wishes to mate with her." Hojo looked at Kagome as he explained "but she refuses to." She shook her head. "Well trying to rape me doesn't really help you know." She said as she crossed her arms.
Sesshoumaru stared at her. She was beautiful…for a human. She had black wavy hair that flowed to her middle back, with beautiful brown eyes and smelled like sakura blossoms. "Hojo, go to the castle…I'll deal with you later." He said coldly. He bowed and left. Kagome smiled and looked at Sesshoumaru. She bowed. "I'm sorry to have disturbed you or anything in any way." She said, as she took straight. He nodded and was about to speak, when a loud sound was made. Kagome gasped. "Please, you must leave. One of villagers have spotted you and Hojo." She said, panicking. He raised a brow. "What do you speak of?" he asked. She shook her head. "The village. When a villager sees a demon, they warn the village and makes a certain noise. Our warriors are coming to take you away. Please, you must leave." She pleaded.
He smirked. "What can you humans do to me?" he asked. She shook her head. "Please, just go." She said. He nodded. "Very well." He said and began walking away. She sighed and turned to see the warriors of the village. She turned and yelled out, "Sesshoumaru!" He turned and saw the men. He took out his sword and was about to strike, when a net was thrown over him. He growled and tried to get free. The men ran to Kagome. "Are you okay, my lady?" one of the men asked. She nodded. "Please release him, he was merely passing by." She said. He shook his head. "We can't Kagome. Lady Kaede wishes to see him and then he must be put to trial." She gasped. "No, not the trial." She said. The old man sighed. "I'm truly sorry my lady." He said and went to Sesshoumaru. He was so tangled; he had given up and was carried away…
Kagome paced outside the hut as Kaede dressed. "Lady Kaede he merely saved me from another demon. Just let him go." She said. Kaede came out and sighed. "I'm sorry Kagome. But the elders have decided. He must face the people." She said as she walked to the podium in front of the village. Kagome stood behind her and watched as the villagers came. The villagers yelled and Kagome gasped as a beaten Sesshoumaru was being dragged and chained to the podium too. He was bleeding from his right cheek and had another cut on top of his left eyebrow. Sesshoumaru stared at her as Kaede spoke. "All of you silence!" Everyone quieted down. "This demon was seen in the forest earlier with Kagome. People suspected him to kill her but, from Kagome's point of view, he saved her from another demon. The elders have decided for the village to decide this. Rather he is a free man, or not." She said. "Kill him!" one man yelled. "He's a demon, kill him!" a young woman yelled. Kagome looked at Kaede and shook her head. "Him being a demon means nothing!" Kagome yelled. "Kill him! Kill him!" Kaede sighed as the villagers chanted.
Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru and saw him looking back at her. "Wait!" she yelled, now looking at Kaede. She looked at her and waved her hand to come up. She ran up the steps and pulled Kaede to the side. "Lady Kaede, isn't there another way?" she asked. Lady Kaede, cupped her cheek and thought for a moment. "I'm afraid not. Unless you are mated or courting him, then there's no other way." she told Kagome. Kagome frowned and looked at Sesshoumaru. She kneeled down to him and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry that this has happened." she said. He looked up at her. "I wasn't aware that you humans hated demons so much." he told her. She shook her head. "Not all humans hate demons." she told him. He just continued staring. "I heard you and that old woman." he told her. Her eyes had widened just a bit and nodded. "Yes, I know how the demon courting is so there isn't anything I can do." she said. He shook his head, lowering his head down. She stood and looked at Kaede. "Lady Kaede?" Kaede looked at her, "This man and I are courting." she said calmly. Kaede looked at the demon and back at her. "But there's no mark on your neck." Kaede told her.
Kagome only smiled. "Lady Kaede, during courtship, the mark only lasts a week and has to be remarked every week until I make my decision." she told her. Kaede just nodded and waved her hand. "Release him, he is free to go." she said as she walked off the podium. Kagome kneeled down as the chains fell off. "Are you okay?" she asked. She gasped as he looked at her with…emotion? "Do you have any idea what you just did?" he asked her. She nodded. "I know that you have to bite me, but I'm sure after that you do then you will leave." He shook his head. "No, that means you can not leave my sight, now that my enemies will try to come and kill you." he told her. She giggled. "My Lord, if my people can catch you, then I'm sure we can catch the others." she said. He stood and looked down at her as she stood. "I will not save you if you are in danger." he told her. She nodded. "I am aware. Now, can you bite me before my people attack you again?" she .asked. He nodded and gently put his right hand on her waist as his left hand cupped the back of her neck. She shivered in nervousness when she felt his hot breath on her neck. He smiled in her hair when he smelled her arousal. He bared his fangs and bushed them against her neck, then licked her where he'd mark her. She bit her lower lip when he pushed his fangs against her neck. "It'll hurt." he told her and bit down. She bit her lip hard when she moaned.
Sesshoumaru began drinking some of her blood, wrapping his whole right arm around her waist when he felt her put her hands on his chest. Licking her mark, he slowly pulled away from her. She shuddered as he pulled away, putting a hand on her bite mark. She shook her head and bowed. "Thank you, I'm sorry for the trouble." she said. He nodded and continued to stare at her. She shifted a little and bowed. "Farewell Lord Sesshoumaru." she said and left. Sesshoumaru just stood there, watching her leave. "Farewell…Kagome." he whispered into the air, and vanished.
