A New Beginning

Chapter One

The Demon She was Not Supposed to Meet

Kagome woke up and all she could remember was falling into the well. She climbed out only to see a tall handsome man. Shocked at his appearance and the fact that the shrine was gone. Kagome was lost and was astonished at the fact that she could see a handsome man in a costume. He had a tail, dog like ears and a very old and traditional stile clothing. In front of him appeared an ugly little creature that went on babbling abought something that seemed unimportant.

Kagome stood up and asked the stranger "Where the hell am I?" and to her surprise he just kept on walking. She yelled after the stranger "Hey I'm talking to you! Don't you dare walk away from me!" suddenly the man and the walking toad creature stopped. The toad thing turned and said in return "How dare you disrespect my lord Sesshoumaru, you will not talk to him as if you..." he was cut off when a very irritated Kagome kick the little demon seven meters away and shouted after it "I have no idea what you just said but you sure are annoying!"

All Sesshoumaru did was chuckle slightly so he was not noticed at how brave the young girl is but nonetheless he continued walking. Kagome assuming it was an invitation to follow started to walk along side the man. After a short while the toad finally caught up and said "Lord Sesshoumaru are you really intending one letting her follow us and kick me?"

Sesshoumaru gave him a glare to say shut up but the toad tried to continue only to piss Sesshoumaru off as he said calmly "shut up Jaken, you are becoming a pest, as usual." Kagome gasped at there argument and asked "what is that thing anyway?"

Sesshoumaru answered her question with a slight chuckle "he is a toad demon, and I am a dog demon." Kagome could believe half of that statement but she thought he was joking about being a demon. There's no way he is a demon. Right?

But she soon found out that he was not joking as a bear jumped out and attacked her Sesshoumaru thinking it would be a waste of courage to let her die jumped in between her and the bear killing it with one stroke of his claws. Kagome was amazed at what he did for her. "Hey how did you do that?" Kagome asked in astonishment.

Sesshoumaru knew that the first time he told her she did not believe him so he put his hand in the air as her continued down the road pulling his claws back in because he only extended them because he needed to kill the bear.

Kagome had them known then that he was telling the truth. She decided that she travelled through time and was now lost. She felt out of place but continued to follow Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru reached his destination and was shocked as he did not find what he had seen so many times his younger half brother Inuyasha had found out a way to break the spell on his own!

He continued his journey knowing of the girls company he decided to ask her "hey since you intend on following me maybe you should tell me where you live and your name." Kagome came to an abrupt stop and the toad demon behind her hit her digging his sharp pointy nose into her leg. She however did not scream, she was to angry to scream. He turned and asked "whats wrong now?" she said in return "who are you to demand my name Sesshoumaru?"

He could not help himself but chuckle a little and declared "well I am the demon lord of these lands!" she blushed a little realizing how stubborn she was being to non other than a lord. He found it amusing that she would be embarrassed over such a little thing.

She finally said after a short silence " My name is Kagome and I do not belong to any village." He grinned slightly and said "well in that case after I am done my affairs I shall take you to my castle."

Kagome thought to herself oh now you have done it! What will he do to me when we get there? I feel he is trying to be nice but his voice is so cold she could have sworn he hated her. After she thought about it she said "only if you insist." her voice was shaky and cracked a little bit.

Sesshoumaru said " I apologize if I have caused any embarrassment of confusion" the only reason I apologized was for this new sensation in the pit of my stomach. Why am I lowering myself to give a female human comfort? what is wrong with me!? It is decided, I will look into it further once I am in my study. Kagome answered to him saying "okay now I know it is not normal for a demon not to mention a lord to say sorry, what trick are you playing?"

Sesshoumaru was amazed at how she quickly turned from embarrassed to angry like that and he felt a small amount of respect for it especially because she knew he was both a lord and a demon yet she is brave enough to get angry with him.

He felt a new emotion sweep over him every time her looked at her. When she was happy it was a good feeling he was given, but if she was mad, in pain or upset he had a bad feeling come over him making him want to rip off the head to the nearest thing he found other than her.

I must not allow any suffering to come to this human, for if she suffered so do I and I do not understand it she is just a human but I since something powerful about her. What could it be!!! the new emotion and the felling of her being powerful both ripped at him making him confused and infuriated. He wanted to end both their suffering but could not bring himself to harm the girl with him.

After Sesshoumaru finished his business he took the girl to his castle. He turned to a guard and said in the calmest voice "show our guest to a nice room and guard her with your life. For if you don't your body will become headless." with a final glare at the guard he turned to a servant and again very calmly said "do everything she asks and if I find her upset someone will pay." he left for his study to think of the days events.

When everyone in the room saw their lord leave they did exactly what they where told. Kagome looked into the firs door to her right and found a hot spring. She closed the door not noticing the other door into the room she got undressed and sat into the pool-like area

Sesshoumaru was getting very upset that he could not figure out the new emotion so he went to take a bath getting undressed in his own room and going into his bathing room. He stood there staring at the girl who just stood up and was preparing to leave.

Kagome turned a bright crimson red in the face and sat down turning away from the naked Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru who also was also embarrassed but did not show it decided to have a little fun.

When Kagome sat down he went over to the water and sat beside her making her blush even more. Sesshoumaru unwillingly started to stare at her not even noticing what he was doing her started to stroke her hair. When Sesshoumaru started to do this Kagome covered her face and ran to her room.

"Dammit! Why did I do that the poor girl must feel violated. She is without a doubt a virgin. Dammit!" Sesshoumaru stated making sure not to be heard. Fully dressed in night garments she lay in bed What the hell was that! What was he trying to do! But when he did it I felt something ... but I cant he is a demon I am a human why did I start to follow him in the first place. Oh look at what you have done now Kagome. Okay just take a breather and calm down.

After that final thought she saw Sesshoumaru step through the door fully dressed he looked at her and she once again turned deep read. Damn he is so hot, stop it Kagome he is a demon it can never happen.

At the same time Sesshoumaru was thinking as he stared at her. She is so damn sexy when she is embarrassed like that. But she is only a human why do I Sesshoumaru lord of the west feel this way for her? He sat down at the end of her bed causing her to bolt upright.

After a short silence he said " I did not mean to cause embarrassment to you but I needed a bath so I saw nothing wrong but then I had to feel you hair Kagome." He smiled at her and left.

Kagome could not sleep at all that night for every time she closed her eyes she saw him standing there naked. I can't get him out of my mind! I think I will go for a walk in the halls.

As she stepped out into the halls she noticed she had no idea how to get around. After about a few minutes of walking she bumped into a guard. he did not recognize her because he was on duty when she came to the castle.

Her grabbed her by the arm tightly causing her to cry out in pain instantly he was pined to the wall by Sesshoumaru. Kagome was shocked at how fast he got there and was knocked to the floor.

"Do you think that I am that unaware of someone so obvious is in my house that you need to a attack someone who is not trying to conceal themselves." Sesshoumaru said.

It was obvious that the guard was now in pain and chocked the words "I'm... Sorr..y... Lord... Sesshoumaru... It... wont happen... again... I... promise!"

Sesshoumaru released the guards thought and dropped him the guard chocked for air as he ran away thankful for his life.

"Come Kagome." he said reaching a hand out to help her up. Kagome took his hand and he pulled her tight to his chest. Kagome blushed and as Sesshoumaru realized how close they where he released her and she slowly backed away slightly disappointed.

He made a gesture for her to follow him so she did the went through the dark corridors and found a beautiful garden Sesshoumaru and Kagome went to the middle of the garden and sat down.

"Why did you stand up to that guard for me?" Kagome asked not able to control her curiosity. "Because he was going to kill you because he thought you where an intruder." Sesshoumaru answered.

Kagome heard a loud howl out side of the castle and jumped into Sesshoumaru landing on his lad. She buried her face into his chest and started to shiver. He wrapped his tail around her in a protective way to calm her and to warm her up.

She looked up at him and said "Thank you." She then placed her head on his shoulder and drifted off to sleep. Sesshoumaru smiled at her as he watched her sleep and he to fell fast into sleep.

Later that night Sesshoumaru was woken up by loud bangs and the sound of fighting. He quickly took Kagome to her room and placed her on her bed as he did this hundreds of demons came spewing through the door of the castle.

He rushed to make sure they did not get any where near Kagome. He reached the demons and slaughtered as many as he could but some snuck past as he was fighting the other ones they bared the way of Sesshoumaru only to be cut down he ran after the other demons who slipped by and let the rest of his guards kill all the other demons.

He reached her room to find a repulsive demon drooling over her quickly he killed it and turned around for the other demons that were to come. After a little while he was wondering why are they after a human girl. After all she was only a human what do they want with her?

Finally after slaughtering fifty demons a shadow he did not notice was creeping around while he fought the others. The shadow stabbed Kagome in the side and Sesshoumaru turned to see the Shecon Jewel fly out he grabbed it and ran hoping the demons would follow.

As he expected the demons did. He lured the demons to a place with thousands of guards and the demons where quickly killed. After that Sesshoumaru went rushing to Kagome with his best healer.

They sat down beside her as she rolled over and groaned in pain the healer did his best work and said she will be fine in the morning just let her rest.
