The Miko and the Demon
Summary: To get out of an horrid arranged mating match, SesshouMaru does the one thing he knows that would stop his mother in her tracks. Mate with Kagome Higurashi, it is then that sparks ignite as egos clash and buried emotions are finally revealed. Could SesshouMaru really be pretending or could he actually be falling for a human?
A/N: Not my first InuYasha fanfiction story, but this is my first ever pairing of Kagome and SesshouMaru. I hope I do it justice.
Chapter One: Fate Is Sealed
"You cannot be serious."
"It's a perfect match, SesshouMaru." His mother, the former Lady of the West spoke as she calmly sipped her tea. Her red stained lips formed a tight smile. "Horikto has it all. Beauty, power, and she comes from a decent noble family."
"No."
"I wish to see a grandpup or two before I pass on, SesshouMaru." She adds, before placing her teacup down. "At give Horikto a chance-..."
"I said no." SesshouMaru lightly growled. "If you do not stop this horrid match, I will do what is necessary to make sure it never happens."
"Oh?" His mother challenged, arching a delicate eyebrow. "And what would you do, dearest son?"
"I will mate..." SesshouMaru stated, the threat in his tone thick. "InuYasha's Miko."
"You wouldn't..." She replied, folding her arms as she narrowed her eyes at him, but failed to see the smirk dancing across her son's face. "You're too proud to lower yourself, our family to that level."
"Watch me."
"SesshouMaru!"
Without another word, he took to the sky- leaving his mother alone in the house, shaking her head as she then let out an annoyed sigh.
"I feel sorry for the Miko," She murmured to no one but herself. "She has to put up with the half-breed and now SesshouMaru, goodness... I believe she'll be gone mad within a week."
...
She felt restless, hell... She was.
After several, effortless tosses and turns to try and will herself to sleep; the raven haired girl sneaked quietly out of the tent, making sure not to wake up the sleeping group.
Ever since she wished the jewel away, things between the gang and herself strained. She felt as if she wasn't needed since there was no more jewel shards to collect or Naraku to hunt down and finally destroy; though there was a plus side to her wish- Kikyo got have her life back, living and breathing in the village that Kagome called home.
But there was a downside to the wish as well, she could never return back to her original time; to her family and friends back in Tokyo. She wondered how Sotua was doing with his schoolwork, her mother with the chores and her grandfather with the temple.
Without knowing, the recently turned eighteen year old found herself standing beside the bone eater's well; her heart hammering inside her chest as she made a hasty step towards it but stopped as she sensed an all to familiar aura.
SesshouMaru...
"Miko."
Startled, the girl turned around a little too quickly and she almost, almost stumbled backwards into the well- if not for the strong hands that grabbed her by the waist and placed her back onto her feet.
"SesshouMaru-sama." She replied, with a small bow. "What are you doing here? Not that you're aren't allowed here, you're clearly free to roam wherever you please-.."
"Hmn." Was all he said, before he took hold of her again the waist and lifted them both in the air.
"What.. Hey!" She yelped, struggling to remove herself from his hold. "Where are you taking me?"
"Cease your yells, Miko."
"I will cease my yells if only you tell me, what the hell is going on." She challenged, earning a small annoyed look from the Lord of the West. "Well?"
He was a very proud demon, he couldn't quite tell her that he needed her help so he made a very small, white-lie- even though it was low for a demon to lie.
"Rin needs your help."
A small gasp escaped from her.
"What happened?" She asked, looking concerned. "Is she ill?"
"No."
"Then what?"
"I believe it's a woman thing."
"Oh?" Kagome replied, looking confused for a second only for it to suddenly dawn onto her. "Oh! Well... Er, sure... Um, where is she?"
"Home."
