This story is set in the rural period right after episode 7 "Showdown! Inuyasha vs. Sesshomaru".

Kagome was crawling out of the well after going back to the modern era to stock up on supplies for the rest of their journey. She had her big yellow backpack full to the brink with ramen (tm), extra clothes, and her bedroll. As she pushed her backpack up over the well and pulled herself up over the side of the well she was met with a pair of golden eyes.

This pair of lethal golden eyes were not attached to our favorite Hanyou - they were attached to his older half brother. She tried to throw her weight back into the well so she could escape back into her own time. His reflexes were much faster then hers however, and he grabbed her with his only remaining arm and pulled her completely out of the well and threw her about 10 feet away from the well, putting his body between the small ningen and the portal that she had just appeared through.

"Who are you?" He spoke softly but with absolute authority. Kagome was just now scrambling to her feet, the scent of fear radiating off of her small form. This please the Western Lord - she should fear him. He cocked his head with his eyes blazing indicating that he was still waiting for an answer.

"I... well...Kagome, my name is Kagome." She breathed out - hoping that Inuyasha had sensed them and would be along soon to help her out of this mess. She looked over her shoulder searching the horizon to see if there was any trace of him.

"Do not look for the half-breed. I have masked this entire area from his senses - he does not know that we are meeting like this." He took a step toward the woman who in turn took a step back. He growled a warning in her direction - she would not escape him. Kagome stood still - her muscles twitching with the need to run away from this danger. As Sesshomaru moved closer to her with a deadly grace she began to wish that she had never stepped foot in the feudal era.

"Kagome - the miko and portal traveler- where did you come from?" Sesshomaru was now within arms reach of the small woman. She slowly tilted her eyes up, her whole body had begun curling into itself in self defense.

"Um - well... I..." She was muttering and shivering - hoping against hope that Inuyasha would show up anyway. She knew it was a fools hope - but a hope all of the same. Sesshomaru was beginning to become annoyed with her inability to answer a simple question. She was the reason that he was missing an arm and frankly he wanted to know the woman who managed to cause him such distress before he erased her this planet.

He could feel the anger spreading through his whole body. Not only did his father choose Inuyasha's mother to spend his life with. He choose to gift his most impressive fang - the Tessaiga,to Inuyasha. Now he had this female who was willing to die for him - what a thing to have. An Inu demon takes great pride in their pack - being able to control and protect them. Sesshomaru knew that the death of the small novice miko in front of him would be a crushing blow to his brother - the idea made him smirk. The smirk caused Kagome to step back against her own better judgement and Sesshomaru was on a top of her within moments. She was pinned against the grassy earth surrounding the well. Her scent spiked with fear and anger and he was shocked by how lovely it was. He took that moment to look the woman up and down slowly and a bright red blush spread across Kagome's whole body. Her lovely, young, and supple body he noted as she started to scream beneath him. He growled and pressed his fangs against the nape of her neck - feeling the blood pound through her neck until she relaxed an submitted to her control. A feeling that he was greatly enjoying.

"Get off of me you pervert" she growled out in a surprisingly Inu manner. He cocked his head to the side at the accusation and realized from her perspective it would seem he was going to take what he wished of her body. The idea made a surprisingly pleasant image of the ningen writhing beneath him in pleasure. He growled and shook his head - trying to remove the image from his mind.

Suddenly a new idea came into his head - killing the miko would hurt his brother but if he stole her loyalty and made her submit physically (without mating of course - she was only a ningen miko) he may just teach that spoiled brat a lesson. He would finally have something that Inuyasha wanted but couldn't have - he would steal his happiness and destroy him in a different way. Sesshomaru was impressed with his idea - even if he was trying to hide from himself that he was partially doing this for himself. He rarely imagined rutting with any woman - yoaki or ningen. He would seduce her and steal her from his half breed of a little brother and teach him a lesson in loyalty.

"Do not worry Miko - I would never take anything from a woman that she was not willing to give." He stood and pulled her up with him. Her eyes grew wide and she nodded her appreciation at the very modern way of thinking.

"You know that I could very easily kill you and my younger half brother" Sesshomaru said calmly. They were too close for her liking - she couldn't size him up and wouldn't be able to see it in time if he raised an arm against her.

"What do you want Sesshomaru-sama" Kagome said softly trying to feed into his pride by bestowing him the title that he deserved. He grunted slightly in approval at the small woman standing so near with her emotions rolling off of her and her scent spiking excitement, fear and confusion.

"I wish to make a deal with you Kagome" He smirked slightly when she turned her head up at the sound of her name. The fact that he would refer to her so casually made her feel uneasy.

"So you do not wish to kill me?" She whispered softly with a sort of relief replacing her fearful scent. He looked up at her - trying to figure out why he was taking such care with this woman. He knew ningen woman tended to be emotional so he kept his temper in check and responded to her as if he were approaching a wounded and scared animal.

"Where ever you are going through this portal - I want to make a deal that you will meet me a day before the hanyou thinks you will be back. I will spend this day with you without his knowledge and then I will return you to him. He is to never know of this deal or I will kill you both" Sesshomaru finished the sentence with a dark growl.

"What will we do during these meetings?" Kagome gulped - she felt dizzy like she was taking in too much air.

"You will discover this soon enough" He was curt but seemed very amused.

"How will you know when I am going through the portal and when I will be back?" She mumbled slowly.

"I will sense the energy when you go through and when you come back - I will be waiting for you and masking the power surge - Inuyasha will never know" He grinned slightly at the look of complete shock on her face.

"Till we meet again Miko Kagome" Sesshomaru was gone before she could say anything. She stood there for ten minutes before Inuyasha showed up, giving her hell for being late. She knew she couldn't say anything to Inuyasha so she went on as if nothing had happened. In the tree - line Sesshomaru was listening just in case. "Good job little woman, you will be mine very soon - and together we will destroy your precious Hanyou."
