Hey people, this is my first Fan-Fic so please tell me if this is good or not.

How it All Began--------- Chapter 1

The Battles

--Kagome's p/v--

When I was out watering the flowers by the well, I saw something move in

the bushes. I was wondering if I should check it out, I thought it might be one of

the demons that followed me back but, oh well, when you've been where I've

been, you learn not to be scared of demons so much so I thought why not So I

reached down to move the bushes but before I could, a snake youkai slithered

out at me. He stood up, resulting in towering over me be about 7ft. It was a

smoky black sort of color, not unusual for demons. Any other girl would've run

away screaming their heads off, or just fainted. Then it decided to roar at me,

that was a big mistake.

***Flashback***

One day I was doing my homework, when I heard a frustrated shout from

the shrine well. I was wondering what it was so went to check it out. When I got

there though there wasn't anyone there.

"Hello?" I said, "Anyone there?" I looked around but there was no one

there. I was going to leave after I checked in the well, but there was no one

there so I turned to leave but someone pushed me in the well.

I could feel something pulling on me, but little did I know that my shrine

well was a magical one. When I finally hit the bottom of the well, I thought was

in my well at home, but I would soon find out that was not the case.

When I looked up I saw someone with mid-back black hair staring down at

me.

***End of flashback***

Why was him roaring at me a big mistake? Because Sessy gets pissed when

something so much as looks at me with out permission from me or him, and this

was about 10 times worse. Sessy came out of the house and tore the snake

youkai to shreds.

"You know, sometimes I think you over do it, but I do appreciate it." I

added quickly because of the sad look on his face.

"Good thing too," said Sessy "cause if I wasn't here you would be with that

stupid hanyou still and probably be dead."

"That was mean, I would have found my way to you, wait, I did." I said as I

remembered some thing from what seemed like a long time ago.

***Flashback***

I had just woke up and heard someone fighting. 'Already? Why didn't

anyone wake me up?' I thought as I walked out of the tent. I soon found out, all

my friends were on the ground unconscious. I saw Inuyasha getting ready to

strike a huge snake youkai with tetsuiga

"Ahh, there she is. Why didn't you tell me she was here" said the snake

youkai.

"Because it isn't any of your business. You weakling." Right when Inuyasha

said that the snake youkai slithered to me and gave me a piece of paper. Then

he slithered off into the woods with an amazed Inuyasha staring after him. I

unfolded the piece of paper, and read allowed:

'Dear Kagome,

I hope this finds you safe and well. Sorry if the messenger scared you he was the only one who would deliver this to you. About before, when you were at my castle, you said you loved me. Well I love you too, but you belong with that hanyou, so don't look for me, because tomorrow I will no longer be in this world. So goodbye.

From the one who will never stop loving you,

Sesshomaru

"What! He expects me to except that as a goodbye Well he's wrong, I'm

going to find him and tell him he has to actually say goodbye, not just

write it." I said going into a temper tantrum. Inuyasha was just thinking

about what his brother had said, then he got angry with him for proposing his

love to her and then saying he was going to kill him self, then above all

things told her not to come after him.

So he said to her, "I know where he will be, if you want to stop him."

I stopped my screaming dance of rage and stared at him, amazed that he

would help me stop his brother, whom he hates, from killing himself, or maybe

there was more to it 'Oh well, I'll investigate further later.' I thought as I nodded

thanks to him.

So we went to where Sesshomaru was, to find him battling with the same

snake youkai that gave me the message from Sesshomaru.

"Well I don't care if she is off limits!" the snake youkai was saying, "I'm

going to go back and win her from that hanyou. I have everything all planned out

and your not going to ruin it!"

"She will not go with you so long as me or Inuyasha is here. Although my

baka hanyou half-brother doesn't know what he's got until it's gone he will still

protect her with his life and then you have to face her miko powers, which are

very strong. So you will not have her for your own, we will team up against you,

Youshra." said Sesshomaru whose eyes were red as he was about to go into his

demon form. I was surprised that he was so open with his feelings to an enemy.

Youshra sniffed the air with his tongue and smelt me, so he quickly turned

and grabbed me. I was too busy pondering to notice until he grabbed me.

"AHH! Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, someone help me, anyone!!!" I screamed.

"Kagome!" screamed Sesshomaru and Inuyasha at the same time.

"Aw, so she matters to the both of you, huh? Two birds with one stone

then." Said Youshra while squeezing me to the point of broken bones.

"AHHHHHH!" I screamed.

"If she gets so much as one little, tiny scratch on her you will pay dearly

with your life." Said Sesshomaru, you could tell he really cared about me

because of the expression on his face.

"My brother and I could easily turn you into a pile of shreds. So why don't

you just give up?" said Inuyasha.

"Because I have your woman and the Shikon no Tama. That's why. So you

still want to challenge me?" said Youshra.

"Of course, we will do anything to get Kagome back from you. Won't we

Inuyasha, Sesshomaru?" said someone from the bushes.

"Who's there? Show yourself now before I kill her." Said Youshra with worry

in his voice.

"So afraid of a priest, demon exterminator, a priestess, a wolf demon, and

kitsune huh?" said Miroku as he walked out of the bushes.

"Not you again. I thought I taught you a lesson earlier. So what are you

doing here?" said Youshra.

"You have to do a lot to get us to not help Inuyasha and Sesshomaru get

Kagome back." Said Sango.

"Yeah, you have to kill us before we won't do anything to get her back from

someone like you." said Kaede.

"Yeah especially me." Said Koga.

"And who are you? I didn't see you when I looked for Kagome. So who are

you?" questioned Youshra.

"Well that's because I was hunting for my pack, they were hungry." he said

calmly.

"OK, so I guess we can add numbers to the birds with one stone. That is

five birds with one stone." Said Youshra as everyone cracked up laughing.

"What? What are you laughing at?" he said cause even I was laughing even

though I was in his grasp and he could kill me in a second.

"You said five birds with one stone, right?" Youshra nodded so I went on,

"Well it is seven birds with one stone. I think that you need to go back to pre-

school." Then I cracked up laughing again.

"What is pre-school?" asked Inuyasha as Sesshomaru sneaked up behind

Youshra.

"It is a place like my high school, only this one is for little kids." I said

distracting Youshra from where everyone was.

"Huh?" Everyone said, helping out.

"Never mind that for now." I said as Sesshomaru ran up behind Youshra

and grabbed me. He took me to his castle then. But before he left he told them

to meet us there. About a day later they arrived, and we sat down at the

breakfast table before Inuyasha went crazy asking me if I was OK. He wouldn't

even stop talking to ask Kikyo to get off him, he just shoved her off.

"Fine, you don't love me? You would rather a reincarnation, then I'll leave

now." Sobbed Kikyo to get his attention.

"No, I like you, I love you it's just she is the only one who never criticized

me for who I was, she understands me, unlike you. Don't you see that I can't love

someone who doesn't love me for who I am and who would rather me in a

different way or personality." Said Inuyasha with everyone staring at him. Then

he looked around to find everyone staring at him and me blushing, Sesshomaru

though was glaring at him for making such a scene.

"Oh, I see. I'll just leave then, Kagome if you would just show me the way

out. Please?" asked Kikyo very politely, which was very weird. But I nodded and

got up anyway.

When we got to the front doors Kikyo grabbed me by the throat and

slammed me up against the wall and said, " If you don't leave Inuyasha in 5

days. I will kill you."

"I would like to see you try." I said, letting my youkai traits show. She let

go of me really fast in shock that I was now a youkai.

"Wait. Why am I afraid of a demon? I'm the strongest miko in the world."

She said as she advanced on me. I didn't budge, I knew that I could take her,

and even if I couldn't, Sesshomaru was right there watching. He knew I could do

it but I might not be able to control the demon powers I had acquired. Kikyo

tried to strike me with her miko powers but I dodged them. Then she let some of

her soul stealers out after me, I dodged them all but one, which came up behind

me and grabbed me to keep me still. Kikyo came over and was about to strike me

but Sesshomaru went up behind her to stop her.

"Kagome, change to your human form and put on a concealment spell

again. Got it? Do it now." He said to me as he let go of Kikyo. I tried to do as he

said, but before I could even begin to change the demon thing behind me

started to squeeze me. I looked at Sesshomaru to see what he said about this,

he sniffed the air, so I followed suit. I smelt Inuyasha and the others coming so I

did what he had said before.

I screamed with pain just as Inuyasha came around the corner, because I

had changed. He saw me, but no Sesshomaru so he looked around and saw that

Sesshomaru was occupied with about 100 other soul stealers. In the middle of

killing one of them he screamed at Inuyasha to get me to safety.

So he ran over to me and killed the demon, and caught me before I fell. He

noticed that I was almost unconscious so he went over to Sango and Miroku and

said, "take care of her I'm going to help Sesshomaru with the souls stealers."

"OK, we will protect her with our lives." Said Miroku.

"Sesshomaru!" I screamed as he got scraped on the arm. I made a move to

get up but Sango held me down. I growled at her then I turned into my youkai

form and ran towards Sesshomaru. I started to rip the soul stealers to shreds. By

the time I was done even Sesshomaru was cowering a bit before me because my

eyes had turned red, that is a trait of a very pissed off youkai.

When I was done and had changed to a human, Inuyasha came up to me

and started to poke my face where the marks that were like Sesshomaru's were.

"How did this happen" Inuyasha asked looking at Sesshomaru.

"Well brother you weren't making your move so I made mine." said

Sesshomaru.

"Did you want him to" Inuyasha asked me.

"Yeah I did. I'm sorry, but I didn't know I was more than a shard detector to

you. I knew that he loved me from the note." I said as Sesshomaru came up

behind me and put his arms around my waist protectively.

"She is my mate now so watch it." Said Sesshomaru.

"How is it possible for her to be a full youkai I thought that could only turn

a human into a half-demon." Said Miroku.

"She never was a full human, she was half-demon. It didn't show because

her real parents put a concealment spell on her so it would stay there until she

found true love. That is why we never knew before." Said Kaede.

"Then how do you know what happened" said Sango.

"I'm guessing. That is what happened, right Kagome?" asked Kaede.

"Yeah you're right." I said as I snuggled into Sesshomaru's chest.

"What do you think you are doing?" screamed Koga who had missed the

conversation, but didn't miss Sesshomaru hugging me.

"Koga, calm down. If you were listening before you would know what is

going on." Said Sango.

"Then someone tell me what is going on." He exclaimed.

"OK, Kagome and Sesshomaru are mates. I'm disappointed too so don't feel

alone in this matter." Said Inuyasha quickly.

"WHAT AND NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW??" screamed Koga.

"We only just found out about this so don't blame us, blame them." Said

Shippo pointing at Sesshomaru and me.

"Shippo don't be mad at us." I said soothingly.

"Why not? You're going to live here and then forget all about me. So why

am I going to not be mad at you?" said Shippo angrily.

"Because you can live with us." I said after seeing if it was OK with

Sesshomaru.

"I can? YAY!!!!! I get to live with Kagome and Sesshomaru!!!!" Shippo kept

chanting over and over again.

"Does Rin have a mommy now Sesshomaru-sama?" asked Rin.

"Yes, you do Rin. Guess what?" asked Sesshomaru.

"What?" asked Rin.

"We're going to see mommy's family, and we're going to have a wedding.

Then you can be the ___, what was it again" asked Sesshomaru forgetting what

she was going to be.

"Flower girl." I said giggling.

"Are you laughing at me? Are you laughing at me?" said Sesshomaru as he

came over and whispered in my ear. "Let us go to the bedroom and we can settle

this there." He said with an evil glint in his eyes. (Sorry, but everyone is out of

character, as you can tell.)

"OK. Everyone make yourselves at home we have something to take care of."

I said giggling because Sesshomaru was tickling me.

"All right, where are our rooms?" said Kikyo as she walked in from outside.

"I thought you left?" asked Inuyasha.

"Yeah she left right after she tried to kill me with her soul stealers." I said.

"What? You mean she tried to kill you?" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Yeah, she did. So now we are going to keep her prisoner in the dungeons."

Said Sesshomaru.

"I don't think so. She is with me and I am here to take Kagome away with

me so she can be my mate." Said Naraku smirking.

"Um, I don't think so buddy." Said Miroku.

"Yeah we have a lot of people here to help us, and you have, what? A

couple of soul stealers?" said Sango. As several hundred soul stealers and small

youkai came out from behind Kikyo and Naraku. "OK, so I admit we're a little on

the outnumbered side, but we can still kill you, and we will." Said Sango.

"Kill them all except the ladies we'll take them to have some fun then

dispose of them, NOW!" said Naraku. All the little youkai went after the men and

the soul stealers went after the ladies. All the guys were protecting the girls and

themselves, and that proved to be difficult. Sesshomaru was always by my side,

letting me fight but keeping a close eye on me. He only had to help me three

times. That is before something happened. I had just killed a soul stealer so I

wasn't ready for what happened next.

--Naraku's P/V--

I was planning on letting my youkai handle the fight and gathering up the

women. But I hadn't expected there to be a demon exterminator, who was very

good with that huge boomerang. A miko youkai, who was good with her miko

abilities as well as youkai powers, even though she was only turned into a

youkai last night. (Who was also formally a human girl whom I had admired, and

loved, but now she belonged to one of my many enemies.) A priestess who had

trained Kagome, or so many men ready to defend the ladies with their lives.

Everyone was trying to get to me so they could kill me and make the small youkai

run away, but I wasn't about to let that happen, so I put a shield up to keep

them out. There were all the servants and advisors, and others who had heard

the screams of women and came to find out what had happened.

So then, when I was admiring Kagome I noticed that every time she killed

someone she would stop for a moment to rest and watch Sesshomaru fight. 'So

this is how to get Kagome, you have to get Sesshomaru either dead or captured.'

So I sent over half of the souls stealers and all of the little youkai after

Sesshomaru to distract Kagome. It worked so then I went up behind her and

grabbed her.

"AHHHHH! Sesshomaru, help!" she screamed as I took her over to Kikyo for

her to guard. All the while everyone was trying to get to me so they could get

Kagome from me. But I wasn't about to let that happen, so I put a shield up to

keep them out. The only person who could get in was Sesshomaru, and he could

only bring one person in with him.

"Let her go now!" screamed Inuyasha as he started to bang on the shield

trying to get in.

"You can't get in little brother. You can only get in with me." Said

Sesshomaru calmly.

"Well lets go then, lets go save her." Said Inuyasha.

"OK, lets go. You guys get the ladies to safety." Sesshomaru said as he took

Inuyasha hand and stepped through the barrier.

--Sesshomaru's P/V--

When I got to the other side, I was struck by a sleeping spell. I tried to

fight it off but it was too strong for me, so I tried doing a reverse spell but I was

too tired to do anything but lean on Inuyasha and watch Naraku explore

Kagome's body. I couldn't even growl at him to warn him, all I could do was try

to get to the other side of the barrier, so I wouldn't be tired anymore.

"Get him out of here so you guys can follow me!" screamed Kagome.

"Why get out? Where ever this thing goes the things in it goes to." Said

Inuyasha.

"Because, if you go they can capture you and then you can't save me.

Please just listen to me." Said Kagome while I tugged on his coat to get his

attention, when I got it I nodded my head.

"So you say I should do what she says?" Inuyasha asked me and I nodded.

"OK, lets go. Help as much as you can." Inuyasha said to me, and I nodded.

As he was dragging me along I fell asleep.

***End of flashback***

--Sesshomaru's P/V--

"Yeah, but then you almost got yourself killed." I said before kissing her

on the lips so she couldn't argue with me about it, boy was I wrong.

"I did not almost get myself killed as I remember it you almost got me

killed you and your being a hero." She said.

I put on a sad face and said, "I thought that you wanted to get out of there,

or would you have rathered stay there and be his mate instead of mine?" I knew I

had lost but, oh well, nothing like having fun, wait this is not very fun, she's

mad at me. Dang, I'll have to heat her up and then cool her down in the

bedroom. *Evil grin*

"Well how do you remember it then?" she asked me, she should've never

asked me that question.

***Flashback***

I woke up to Kikyo dabbing my face with a damp cloth.

"What happened?" I asked her before everything came flooding to me, how

Kikyo had attacked Kagome and Naraku had come with her and taken Kagome

with him when he left, I remembered how I went I went through the shield with

Inuyasha and falling asleep and hitting the ground.

"Get away from me. Where is my brother? Where is Kagome?" I exclaimed to

her, grabbing her throat so she would not run or scream. " Where is she? Tell me

now or I'll slit your throat."

"You have to ask Naraku about the Kagome thing, but your brother is right

in the next cell. Oh, and if your about to ask, your at Naraku's castle." She said

with a smirk on her face.

"Why are you smirking I have you by the throat, I could easily kill you in a

second." I asked. I was very confused even though it did not show on my face.

"She is smirking because we have your mate and brother. If you do one

thing wrong I will kill her with my own hands and in front of you." Said Naraku

with a glint in his eyes.

"You wouldn't dare." I said glaring at him.

"Oh, I wouldn't would I? Why do you say that?" asked Naraku.

"Because you wouldn't have anything against me any more and I wouldn't

stop hunting you until I killed you, and if I find you already dead then I'll bring

you back and kill you again so you know that you made a mistake." I hissed at

him, no longer trying to hid my emotions from him.

"I wouldn't be talking about killing the person who holds your happiness in

the palm of his hand." He said smirking, and with a wave of his hand someone

brought Kagome in. I was going to go to her to make sure that she was OK then

Inuyasha walked in with two escorts.

"Don't, he will kill her he almost did. Me and my big mouth doubting him."

He said miserably.

"Just like he's going to find out." Said Kikyo as she walked up to Inuyasha

and kissed him.

"What do you mean?" I asked him as Naraku walked up to Kagome, "What

are you doing?" then he kissed her on the lips. I started after him but Inuyasha

came and grabbed me to stop me while Naraku held a knife to her throat so I

wouldn't try anything. Well it worked.

"You little-"

"You little what Sesshomaru?" asked Naraku pushing the knife a bit farther

into her throat.

"Nothing." I murmured keeping my anger down.

"Dear, why don't I take Inuyasha to my room so he isn't in your way?" asked

Kikyo with an evil glint in her eyes.

"Yeah go ahead." Said Naraku smiling at her as she walked out of the door

with Inuyasha following her, not with a very happy expression on his face either,

for he knew what she was going to do to him, or with. "I guess I will leave you

two alone to get caught up on what has happened." He said as he followed Kikyo

and Inuyasha out the door.

We waited until they were all out of the room, then we couldn't wait any

longer. We ran to each other and hugged each other for all we were worth.

We hugged until she said accusingly, "You're late." Then she looked at me

and laughed at the confused expression on my face, "What happened to your

emotional mask?" she asked still giggling.

"Gee, that's what I get for letting you hug me?" I said as I let go of her,

planning to leave and pout in a corner that would get her good. But I

couldn't walk away because she was holding me fast in my tracks with a kiss.

"Sorry, I just really missed you, and when they took all of us I thought I

would never see you again, and what he did to me didn't make it any better, it

made it worse." She sobbed into my shoulder.

"Shhhh. It's OK now I'm here I won't let him touch you anymore." I said

devising a plan in my head that just might work.

"How are you going to be able to do that You heard him he said that if you

do anything he would kill me." She said confused.

"He won't be able to kill you if I don't let him touch you now will he" I said

and then when I saw the even more confused look on her face I said, "Inuyasha

and I will keep them away from you."

"Ohhh, I get it now." She said understanding.

"So, you two done making out for the last time?" asked Kikyo with a

disgusted Inuyasha behind her.

"What did you do to him? Make him eat slugs?" I asked winking at Inuyasha

so he would know something was going to happen and to just go with it.

"I think you've had enough time holding on to each other. Come here

Kagome." Said Naraku.

"I'm not your servant Naraku. I'm nothing to you so why do you want me?"

she asked Naraku glaring and growing her claws a bit longer.

"Because you would make the perfect mate for a man of my stature." He

said with his eyes glinting.

"Well, you know what? She belongs to Sesshomaru not you, so get lost."

Inuyasha said running towards Naraku.

Well that is the first chapter, I hope you like it. I kinda revised it. But everyone

is out of character just so ya know. I'll try to get the next chapter up soon.
