Hey I'm BACK! Sry for the delay in stories but my life is hectic now that i have work, moving, demolition derbies and school to start planning for. My daughter will soon be 10 months old and i have a pre-hearing for child support with her father, Whoopee, not. Well this story is about Sesshoumaru and Kagome melting the ice and barriers they put up around there hearts. Kag is still in there and u will see that in her thoughts but she does not wish for anyone to know that. Sesshoumaru will be one of the first to discover the mysterious demonesses identity but will be confirmed by a run-in with the past.

Chapter 1

Sesshoumaru patrolled his lands as he searched for the disturbance on his most norther border. He found two Inu's in a brawl as a mysterious demoness fought evenly with the black Inu demon who would soon inherit the Northern lands. Sesshoumaru inwardly scoffed at the Inu demon becoming the Lord of the Northern lands. Sesshoumaru cloaked himself in the foliage as he watched the taking place in the early morning's frost.

The Norther Lord's son continued to egg on the demoness looking fully into her eyes of ice. Sesshoumaru oddly thought that her eyes should be full of emotion but stopped that train of thought due to the fact he thought it every other time since he first caught glimpse of her. He remembered his last encounter with the demoness.

FLASHBACK

Estimately one month ago.

Sesshoumaru had just returned to camp in order to rescue Rim from a band of Pig demons when a demoness flashed by passing from his right to his left, in slow motion, once she was just about all the way pass she flicked her wrest and a light blue whip, much like his own, had appeared and she off the upper regions of the pig demons. Rin released her self from a decapitated pig demon but before she could properly thank the demoness, who had stopped and was looking towards Rin at her right and seemed to be checking for damages, she quickly left after taking at Sesshoumaru from the corner of her eye.

Sesshoumaru continued to watch there movements, noting the fighting styles and any flaws that may be an advantage to him in the future.

The First time he spotted her was the day he discovered the miko Kagome's disappearance. Many times he had searched for the miko under Rin's request but he could never find a trace of her. It has now been 10 years and if she were alive then she would most likely be married and had a few children but he decided that was not the case since she would have made some form of contact with the demon slayer, monk, kitsune, and possibly his half brother, InuYasha.

He remembered that the group seemed on edge at Naraku's defeat and he had noticed the lateness of the miko and that she abruptly left when all was done and that was last that he knew anyone had seen of her. He thought it odd she didn't take the kit with since they seemed to have a bit of strong bond leaning towards that of a mother and her son but it was as clear as day that something had happened between the group and Kagome.

It was a few days later when Rin who had been a year older was asking for the miko and was concerned for her and really missed the miko. Sesshoumaru, not wanting to upset his ward, had spent two days at a time searching for her and then began moving his group around in hope he would find a trace of the miko. There was none. He found her old clothes that she had worn the majority of the time but they were discarded and her human smell was already old and then lost soon after.

He then only caught traces of the demoness smell and would encounter her for brief rare times and were it not for the battle between her and the Inu demon, he might not have seen her for quite some time again. This demoness seemed to just appear in existence and no one knew not of who she is but it seemed the Northern Lord's son had some knowledge on the demoness.

Sesshoumaru watched as the demoness grew frustrated with the other demon who was obviously trying to dominate her and prove him self to her as a capable suitor and possibly try and force her into being his mate. She evenly fought back with the determination to not be claimed by the other demon. He could see that as much ice caked her eyes, her spirit was just as wild as a blazing fire. He thought it ironic that her eyes were like ice but his imagination and inner voice told him that behind those eyes in the past they had been lit with fire instead of this cool piercing look she seemed to have perfected much like he has.

He could not keep himself from thinking of the miko Kagome when it came to this demoness. Kagome was a miko mortal with black hair and blue eyes like the ocean depths. This demoness he realized had snow white hair on most encounters but this time her hair was littered with black streaks and some white fading into black. He thought it odd but pushed it aside knowing the black streaks were growing more numerous than the first few streaks when he had arrived. Her eyes were a icy blue that if you look close enough you might imagine a snow flake descending in them. Her lips a glossy pink as she bit it hard in determination to win the fight which also brought the picture of a determined Kagome to his mind who eyes held no emotion accept for the hardened glare as she sealed Naraku's fate. He now realized that Kagome was just as odd that day as she had ever been.

He had expected her to celebrate Naraku's defeat but instead she took a quick scan across the leveled forest and left without a word or so much as a second glance she left. Her eyes were almost detached from the emotion she once freely showed in the once emotional eyes. That day he never smelt fear come from her, nor any other emotion until she was barely out of the battle field, he could feel a small wave of depressing emotions, including regret, hesitation and loneliness. He barely noticed it then but when he learned of her continued disappearance it began to haunt him a little. He had grown some what attached to the miko due to the late night discussions when she had trouble sleeping. Their groups travelled nearby each other in the last few months and he knew she made amends with the priestess Kikyo but she never mentioned anything wrong between her and her companions.

He could not help shake the feeling she had given up and gave her soul to Kikyo. She left with the jewel and never returned. Kikyo has the life expectancy of a half demon though she is still a human miko and she has a full soul. Kagome had always risked her life for others but had a hard time imagining that she would so willingly just give up her life and soul to an undead miko that she is the reincarnation to. He shook his head and focused more on the battle scene.

He heard the demoness growl as she was being pushed back slightly in hand to hand combat. The demon flashed a smirk on his features when he thought he was about to defeat the demoness. She then smirked herself as some emotion passed by her eyes and just judging that slight change in her eyes he determined the fight would soon be over.
