Chapter 1: Prologue

-Sesshomaru's p.o.v-

It was anger and irritation I felt as I paced my study. Inuyasha…. He had been released from the god-tree he was sealed to for 50 years. He, Sesshomaru had seen proof of that as he had gone to visit the tree. He had heard rumors it had been a miko but who? The one that had sealed it was dead by a spider-hanyou. Unless she had been resurrected somehow by an evil witch. But even if she had, she would be the un-dead and would not have enough power to, it had to have been done by an even more powerful miko, but which miko was kind enough to revive and release the demon kind? They were supposed to loathe demons with a passion. Those useless human women and their holy powers….powers which were wasted on them.

He stopped to glare at his father's, Inu-tashio's painting hanging above the fireplace. 'Why would you love a human woman father? I do not understand. You had told me if I someone to protect and I had said no. what did you mean father?' Sesshomaru shook his head as he saw the sword hanging on his father's sash….The Tetseiga. It should've been his….but where is it? Where is that sword?

"Seen yet never seen. Protected, yet never known to its protector?" Sesshomaru said aloud. It was so frustrating. A puzzle, it was a riddle and he hated it. He had the Tenseiga, his father's other sword….of course it was useless but he kept it in memory of his father. Perhaps a visit to that whelp of a half-breed brother he had would give him some clue. Father did care for him more and Sesshomaru frowned. He walked out of his study as his guards shut the door behind him as he walked out and headed to his chambers. Yes aggravating his brother was one of his specialties and his fangs flashed, a smirk on his face in the moonlight.

-with Inuyasha-

He was lounging high up in a tree as he stared at the darkening sky with a bored expression. Nothing to do. Nothing to kill. Nothing to….

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!" a feminine voice called from below him.

Oh great it was that Kikyo-look-alike miko who called herself 'Kagome' with that revealing blue skirt following him. Had she no shame? and hadn't he told her to stop following him? She was holding some weird metal contraption she called a "Bi-cy-cle" 'Keh what's the need for one of those?' he thought. He felt a breeze in the air and the sky which now had a demonic aura. He jumped down from the tree and pushed her to the ground.

"Get down!" he called as he pushed her to the ground, her face now in the dirt.

"Cough…cough…Inuyasha..." she said in an irritated voice and looked up. He stood up as she followed suit. She shook her clothes trying to get the dirt off and she looked to see Inuyasha staring at someone with an angry expression.

She gaped at the creature...in awe. He was wearing white and had long silver locks of hair with red stripes on his face with a crescent moon on his forehead and his eyes…his eyes were like gold no, they were amber in contrast to Inuyasha's gold. He was standing on the shoulder of a lower class demon and looked like a heavenly being. He was…He was…gorgeous.

He was giving Inuyasha a disdainful 'You're lower than me' look. Did he hate him? Kagome swallowed as she looked back at Inuyasha whose hand was now fisted. Were they going to fight? Inuyasha didn't even have a weapon and just his claws.

"You….It's you… SESSHOMARU!!!" Inuyasha yelled.

"Indeed. I've quite missed you as well….little brother." Sesshomaru said smirking down at him.

"He..he called you his brother." Kagome said aloud staring at Sesshomaru who looked at Kagome then, finally noticing her.

"Hn." He said. Kagome gave him an irritated look. 'Hn?' that's all he had to say to her?

"A human woman. This must be a taste from father. Of course this Sesshomaru bears no such weakness." He said arrogantly. Kagome's eyebrow twitched. He called her a weakness….grrrr…

"Yeah what of it?!" she yelled up to him standing behind Inuyasha for safety. And to think she thought he was cute! He was an arrogant prick! Like those popular boys in high school who thought they were the kings of the world.

"And this one speaks out of line as well." Sesshomaru pointed out.

"So what?! Where I come from woman are not oppressed and just redeemed to cooking and cleaning and raising babies! We are educated too. We work and uhhh rule as well." Kagome said.

"Inuyasha your woman is annoying and loud. Why don't you find a better one?" Sesshomaru asked in a bored voice.

"She ain't my woman!" Inuyasha said. He must have told a hundred people that today.

"Hey are you both ignoring me?! What am I? invisible? Who are you supposed to be anyway?" Kagome asked the silver haired demon.

"Lord Sesshomaru of the western lands." He said.

"Hn. Fancy title." Kagome said. Sesshomaru looked at her. Why the insolent little wench.

"I'm Kagome. Ka-go-me." She said.

"Well Kagome…" Sesshomaru started but before he could continue Inuyasha jumped into the scene and made a leap at his brother.

"I'll get you!" Inuyasha roared and tried to swipe him with his claws. Kagome couldn't look. Her newly found hanyou friend was going to die from this high and mighty arrogant prick of a brother! Sesshomaru sighed regally as he rose his poison whip and swiped it at the lower class demon who was ordered to kill Inuyasha.

Kagome screamed and her frantic brain was trying to decide what to do. "Inuyasha!!!! Uhh…sit boy!!!!" were the words that came from her mouth. She looked up to see Inuyasha saved from the attack and come crashing to the ground.

(BOOM!) And Inuyasha crashed to the ground even Sesshomaru had a look of surprise.

"You are a miko. To have cast such a subjugation spell on Inuyasha…" Sesshomaru said.

"What is your deal?" Kagome said having enough of this demon for one day. "What are we playing 20 questions?"

"This Sesshomaru does not play."

"And what's up with that third person?" Kagome said looking up at him with look that dared him to look away. It was infuriating him. He had enough of this for one day as he killed the low class demon whose shoulder he was standing on and was about to walk away when someone grabbed his shoulder. "Hey wait a second Sesshomaru." Kagome said.

"Let go of this Sesshomaru human wench." He said. Her touch was unnerving him as well as her scent. So pure. So she spoke the truth. She wasn't Inuyasha's woman.

"This Kagome says no." she challenged him as blue clashed with amber.

Lady Nefertiti: chapter 1. Might I already point out before someone else does, is that some parts are fictional/I made up… so all of it is not real. Please read and review.
