Falling In Love Unexpectedly

Author's Note:
This is my first Inuyasha fanfiction and I decided to do a Sesshomaru and Kagome pairing fanfiction.
Prolouge
Kagome Higurashi has had her heart broken several times by Inuyasha because he kept running back to Kikyo. During this time, Kagome would wonder off to think if she to herself and if her heart still yearned for Inuyasha or not. On this peticular day, Inuyasha had ran off to Kikyo again; so Kagome decided to head home once again. The others in the little group were worried for Kagome since she decided to go home before they had even headed out this morning after Inuyasha returned from seeing Kikyo that Kagome had sat him at least fifty times. As she was heading for the well in order to go home; she happened to bump into Sesshomaru.
"I'm sorry, Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome said.
"Hn." was all Sesshomaru could say but he noticed that she had been crying.
"I'm on my home."
"Hn."
"Even though you hate humans at least you have manners."
"Hn."
"I would rather have my heart taken by you than by Inuyasha."
"Miko, this Sesshoumaru will not be degraded so do not think that this Sesshoumaru will love you."
"I know that. However, I still wish that I had feelings for you instead."
"This Sesshoumaru is wondering why you would say such things."
"I'm emotionally unstable at the moment due to Inuyasha and I have feeling that he's keeping something from me. That's why I had asked you about the mating habits of demons and half-demons the last time I bumped into you by myself."
"What of it, Miko?"
"You were right about everything."
Sesshomaru was a little surprised by what the miko that traveled with his half-breed brother just said, but did not show it. Although, he did wonder what the half-breed did to cause her to cry and then say something foolish like that to him. He watched as she headed to the bone-eater's well and he knew something had caused the miko much disstress. So he decided to head to the village where his half-breed brother resided to see if he figure out what would cause the young miko to say such a thing. When he reached the village, the young fox kit along with the demon slayer and perverted monk were just sitting there trying to figure out what Inuyasha had done this time to set Kagome off.
"Monk?"
Miroku turned to see Lord Sesshomaru standing there and said, "Lord Sesshomaru?"
Sango and Shippo along with Kirara were shocked to see the Lord of the West standing there.
"This Sesshomaru is wondering what my half-breed brother has done to upset the Miko that she would say something foolish to this Sesshomaru."
"What do mean, Lord Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked curiously.
"The Miko stated that she would rather have her heart taken by this Sesshomaru instead of the half-breed."
Miroku along with the other three were shocked that Kagome had said something like that.
Finally, Shippo said, "Inuyasha, must have done something worse than before if Kagome said something like that to you, Lord Sesshomaru."
Sango and Miroku had to agree with that.
Suddenly, Inuyasha appeared covered in dirt that looked like in the dirt about 3ft deep and said, "Where is Kagome?"
"The miko went home, Inuyasha." A cold voice said.
Inuyasha cringed because he knew who that cold voice belonged to. Then he said, "Bastard, what did you do to her."
"Nothing. The miko merely talked to me but she seemed upset by something that she started talking foolishness." was all Sesshomaru said.
"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.
"The miko had been crying." Sesshomaru stated.
Sango was shocked that Sesshomaru had taken noticed of Kagome's emotions when she could hide them really well. Inuyasha couldn't believe that Sesshomaru had taken noticed of Kagome. After Sesshomaru was done at the village, he decided to go to the bone-eater's well and enter it then he was engulfed in a pink light. After the pink light died away he jumped out of the well and was hit with a familar scent of the miko known as Kagome. He followed it all the way to a house. then he knocked on the door of the house and a human boy answered. He only said to the boy, "Kagome?"
...Back in the Future...
Kagome was taking a relaxing bath and then she started remembering the conversation that she had with Sesshomaru that she started blushing really bad. She could not believe that she had told Sesshomaru that she would rather him have taken her heart instead of Inuyasha.
"Sis, someone here is to see you." Sota said.
Kagome got out of the tub, dryed off and then got dressed. When Kagome came down the stairs; she was surprised to see none other than Lord Sesshomaru standing in front of her and she wondered how he got here to her time.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" Kagome questioned, "But how did you pass thru the well?"
Sota noticed Kagome's shock at seeing the man and she had called him 'Lord Sesshomaru' like he was a noble.
"Miko, I may not appear it but I am completely puzzed as to where I am. As for passing thru the well, this Sesshoumaru does not know?" Sesshomaru said.
"Well what if I told you that you were 500 years into the future." Kagome said.
"Hn." was all Sesshomaru said.
"At least, you won't be bad as Inuyasha."
"So this is where the half-breed comes here when he goes through that well."
"Yeah, well right now I don't feel like talking to Inuyasha at all anymore."
"Hn."
"My apologies, Lord Sesshomaru. You met my little brother, Sota. He's the one that let you in the house. Things here are a little different here than they are in your time period."
"Indeed, Miko."
Suddenly, Kagome's mother walked into the room and said, "Dinner's ready."
Sesshomaru was taking in his surroundings and was amazed at the houses are much more suitable in the future than they were back in his time. Suddenly an elderly male voice shouted from behind him saying, "DEMON BE GONE!"
Sesshomaru caught the slip of paper in his claws and said, "Interesting, however they will not work on me."
"Lord Sesshomaru, I'm sorry for gramps. He also did that to Inuyasha when Inuyasha first crossed over." Kagome said.
"Hn. This would explain a lot as to why you a very strong miko." Sesshomaru said.
"Kagome, do you know this demon?" Her grandfather asked.
"Yes, this Lord Sesshomaru. He's Inuyasha's half-brother and in a strange way I owe Lord Sesshomaru my life." Kagome said softly.
Sesshomaru watched Kagome's family react to the you information that Kagome had just given them.
"What do you mean you owe him your life?" Kagome's mother asked curiously.
"Let's just say that there were times when Inuyasha was preoccupied with something esle and Lord Sesshomaru saved my life in his own way." Kagome answered not looking at anyone.
Sesshomaru could tell that Kagome didn't want to tell her family the whole story. He also noticed that Kagome's mother and brother were aware that Inuyasha was the cause of Kagome's pain and sorrow.
"Sis, how long are you staying home this time?" Sota asked.
"I'll probably be heading back in a few days unless something happens like it usually does and I can't go back for a while." Kagome answered.
Kagome's mother looked at Sesshomaru because Kagome had told her a lot about him and said, "Lord Sesshomaru, since you're here, I'll see if I can find you something to wear since you're here that way you can blend in."
"Hn." Sesshomaru said agreeing.
To Sesshomaru, Kagome's family seemed nice for humans but he couldn't help but wonder where her father was. He watched as Mrs. Higurashi went out of the room to go get him some human clothes to blend in with the future humans as well as future demons if there where any demons. Kagome had went to her room after what little bit that she ate.
Suddenly, Sota spoke to him saying, "Kagome won't tell us everything when she comes home upset over Inuyasha."
"Hn." was all Sesshomaru said.
"However, I can tell it was really bad this time."
"Hn."
"Because this time, she was mumbling about her heart breaking and wished that you would take her away from Inuyasha. I know that you've tried to kill my sister a couple of times, but to hear say that she would prefer you over Inuyasha is still a shock." Sota said.
To say Sesshomaru was shock would be a lie. He never thought that Inuyasha would hurt the Miko, Kagome that bad that she would say things like that to her family. Sota kept talking to Sesshomaru and telling him a lot about Kagome. Sesshomaru was actually surprised that Kagome's father was dead and that her little brother had suddenly become concerned for his big sister becaue of Inuyasha.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" Sota said.
"Hn." Sesshomaru said.
"I'm not sure if what sis told us is true or not about you saving her life or not; but I'll trust you with my sister's heart."
"Hn."
"I know that it may sound weird that I am asking you to protect my sister than Inuyasha; but it seems that sis is not exactly herself."
"Hn."
"To be honest, it's almost like sis is slipping away and dieing on the inside."
"Hn."
"Sis, told me that you don't say much at times."
"Hn. This Sesshoumaru is unsure what to say right now."
"Oh.."
"This Sesshoumaru knows that Lady Kagome is very different from other human females."
"What do you mean?"
"Lady Kagome has befriended a lot of people, demons and half-demons."
Sota's eyes went wide with shock.
Just then Kagome's mother came back with a dress suite and dress shoes for Sesshoumaru.
"I hope these are okay, Lord Sessomaru while you are here." Kagome's mother said.
"It will do, ma'am." Sesshomaru said as he began to walk into the bathroom to change clothes after Sota showed him where it was.
"Kagome, wasn't kidding when she said that Sesshomaru had manners." Kagome's mother said.
Sesshomaru was still changing but thanks to his keen demon sense of hearing he was hearing the entire conversation and then Kagome's scent hit nose. He could tell that she had been crying again because of the smell of salt from her tears. He felt like ripping the half-breed in two for causing the miko so much trouble.
"Mom, where is Lord Sesshomaru?" He heard the miko asked curiously.
" He's in bathroom changing his clothes. I gave him some clothes that will help him blend in untill the both of you return to his time." Kagome's mother said smiling.
"Oh..okay." Kagome said.
At that moment, Sesshomaru chose to enter the room again. Kagome turned once she sensed his demon aura enter the room. She was in shock to see Sesshomaru in a suit that she nearly fainted from the shock. Without even thinking, Sesshomaru rushed to Kagome's side to catch her before she fell and hit the floor. Kagome's mother and little brother as well as Kagome's grandfather were stunned at how quickly Sesshomaru had gotten to Kagome.
"Miko?" Sesshomaru said concerned suddenly.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you look handsome." was all Kagome could say at the moment.
Sota, Kagome's mother, and grandfather was shocked that Kagome had given a compliment. Sesshomaru was shocked that he actually let it show on his face.
...Meanwhile, back in Fuedal Japan...
Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were fussing with Inuyasha when Rin and Jaken came up to them.
"Lady Sango, have you seen Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked curiously.
Sango turned to see Rin and said, "We haven't seen him since he told us what Lady Kagome had said to him."
"WHAT THE HELL DID THE WENCH SAY TO SESSHOMARU?!" Inuyasha shouted.
Rin looked at Inuyasha and he seemed upset, but she remembered the times that she would see Lady Kagome upset because of him whenever they bumped into her. So Rin said, "Lord Inuyasha, what have you done to upset Lady Kagome this time?"
Everyone looked at Rin as for her to continue.
"NOTHING?!" Inuyasha shouted.
Miroku and Sango both cocked an eyebrow at this.
Rin smirked like Sesshomaru because she has been around him for too long and said, "I wondered if Lord Sesshomaru has been talking about the mating process with Lady Kagome."
Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha and Jaken's jaw dropped from shock.
"Why do you say that, Rin?" Shippo asked curiously.
"Well when we bumped into Lady Kagome the last time; she wanted to know about the mating habits of demons. So she asked Lord Sesshomaru." Rin answered with a smirk.
Everyone's eyes got really big at this. Rin continued talk about the conversation that she had overheard between Lady Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru. Miroku was the only one that noticed that Inuyasha felt uncomfortable at the mention of Kagome talking with Sesshoumaru about the mating habits of demons and half-demons.
...Back in the Future...
Kagome and Sesshomaru were now sitting side by side on the couch.
"Lord Sesshomaru, are you okay?" Kagome asked concerned.
"Miko, do you remember the conversation we had?" Sesshomaru asked aware that her family was listening.
"Yeah, I asked you about the diferent mating habitsher of demons. And you told me that it would depend on the type of demon as well as half-demon" Kagome answered.
"That's true. Also before we demons or half-demons mate; we court the one that is our intended mate or mate-to-be."
"Well here in the future, we call it dating, then engagement followed by bride-to-be or groom-to-be."
"It seems a bit more complacated."
"True. And the way, demons do it seems so simple but romantic in its own special way."
"Miko...excuse me, Kagome, but why exactly why were you asking about mating of demons?"
Even her family wanted to know that as well but they remained quiet and continued to listened to the conversation between Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru.
"Well, Inuyasha may have already mated Kikyo and I wanted to know what were signs that you could tell that demon was already mated." Kagome said.
'So this is why the Miko wanted know about the mating habits of demons as well as half-demons.' Sesshomaru thought to himself.
Kagome's family was in shock.
"Kagome, since we are in your time right now, will you please show me how humans do this dating thing?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Um...sure. Does this have something to do about Rin?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, because she is like a daughter to me." Sesshomaru said.
"Okay, I'll help; however, what if a demon wishes to mate here?"
"Then I'll make sure that the demon is worthy of her."
"How about we try this out tomorrow since it's time for bed?"
"Okay." Sesshomaru said.
So everyone turned in for the night for a good night's rest.
