To Love an Assassin
By 246Nakuro
Summary: What's an assassin and queen have in common? Not much except their in love.
Chapter 1: Life, Death, Job, any questions?
Kagome slept peacefully until her best friend and younger sister Sango pulled back the curtains from her window. Kagome groaned and pulled the covers over her head, why did her sister insist on being a jerk sometimes? It was the weekend what was going though that thick skull of hers?
"Come on sleepy head you have to go downstairs and greet people for your big birthday party." Sango told her sister yanking the covers off her head.
"Sango." Kagome glared at Sango and annunciated her words. "Since it's MY birthday shouldn't I do what I want? I want to sleep, so let me sleep!"
"Look mom insisted I wake you now, and drag you down stairs if I have to. I don't want to but…"
"All right, all right. I get it. I'll be down in a minute ok?"
"Ok!"
Sango left and Kagome groaned, she hated being the daughter of the king sometimes. She got out of bed and grudgingly got out of her pajamas, and had just got into her regular clothes when she was knocked to the ground, hard and someone fell on her.
"Oofh!" Kagome exclaimed as she hit the ground, she looked up into emotionless bright golden eyes. He had blood from his shoulders down. "Are you ok?"
Sesshomaru could say nothing, he had just landed on the Lady of the North and now she had asked him if he was alright, she didn't even sound scared. Sesshomaru nodded, his mind told him to run but his body wouldn't move. Every bone in his body had become her putty to move as she pleased. No woman had ever had this effect on him before.
"I see. Here." Kagome reached for his hand and when he made no objection to it she grabbed it and walked with him to her bath room. "Here you might want to wash yourself off."
Sesshomaru stared in disbelief at the solid gold bathtub, sink, toilet, everything. She left and before he could say one word, she was out of the room. This was the most fun Kagome had ever had. She had met a man who had clearly been startled to meet her and had helped him to clean up. Even if he left she had become excited for her birthday.
Sesshomaru sat in the bath thinking, he hadn't had a real bath since he was a young/little guy. He was too busy carrying on his dad's assassination company. His dad had fallen for a human, had a half-breed pup that Sesshomaru had to somehow raise and answer every request for assassination. He was so busy he usually washed off in whatever was available, be it river, waterfall, or lake.
A warm bath he hadn't been able to have for what felt like an eternity. Because Sesshomaru seemed be working all the time, and he refused to tell his brother what he did, they had a very distant relationship. Sesshomaru could take time to think about some things for once in this bath, things he hadn't been able to for a while. Like how he was reaching the mating age. He would have to give up on being happy so that Inuyasha would have the life he always wanted.
Sighing he got out of the bath and got dressed, just as Kagome entered her room. He opened the bathroom door with only a towel covering his shorts and he looked at her once but she seemed to not see him there. He watched fascinated as this girl fought and punched the pillow but when that ceased to satisfy her she went to punch the dresser, Sesshomaru couldn't help it she reminded him so much of when Inuyasha lost control he had to do something.
Sesshomaru grabbed her wrist before she could hit the dresser, and Kagome who was barely hanging onto reality went into full blown fight mode. Sesshomaru was lucky that he had learned to defend himself, because he had to use everything he had learned to defend himself from her and not hurt her. By the time Kagome was on the bed being held there she sobbed, but as he released her hands ready to defend himself again if she decided to fight him some more.
She pulled herself into the fetal position on the bed and sobbed. "It's my birthday too." Kagome sobbed some more and grabbed the pillow curling around it. "How come they only remember my older sister's birthday is today?"
"I know it hurts. But that's the way some people are." Sesshomaru told her gently, he did feel like he was talking to a younger him. When he had invited Inuyasha's mom to stay with them the remaining years of her life, she only remembered Inuyasha's birthday, even though his birthday was on the same day. "I know it doesn't excuse them but it's the way some are." Kagome nodded slightly. "I must go now. I have a busy day."
Sesshomaru got up folded her towel and placed it on her dresser, he was just about to jump out of her window the one story to the ground when he heard her speak. "Wait." He looked back at Kagome and again his body wanted to stay here, only this time his brain had more power and he got on the window sill. "Please wait!" With this she gently grabbed his short's leg. "Thank you. For your help and everything. I wish you well."
Sesshomaru nodded once, and Kagome removed her hand from his shorts and he jumped down, and ran off.
