A/N: I do not own Inuyasha, so don't sue.
Oh, and just so you know, Kagome is sixteen and Inuyasha is seventeen. Our dear, warm Sessy is here too, he's 25. That's for most of the story.
Enjoy! (By the way, I suck at last names, so don't sue!)

Prologue
A/N: Kagome is fifteen right now, and everyone's a year younger. (Just so things make sense.) And on with the story!
Kagome dressed quickly and got ready to enter the Feudal Era. It was Saturday, and she had a date with Hojo. After that, she'd go to meet Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and…Inuyasha.
She dressed in a light green blouse and a dark green skirt. Then, Kagome grabbed her backpack, full of medical supplies and food, and picked up her bow and arrows. She put them right next to the door of the old shrine, grabbed her bike, and rode it to the restaurant where Hojo was waiting.
"Hi Kagome," Hojo said, "I heard that you were sick, so I brought some stuff for you."
"Oh, thanks," Kagome said, taking a package from him.
After lunch, Kagome glanced at her watch. She gasped; it was really late!
"Um, Hojo…I have to go. Thanks! Bye!" she called, got onto her bike, and rode off toward home.
"Bye," he said, but she was already gone.

Kagome rode as fast as she could and got home. She put the package on the kitchen table and headed for the old shrine. Grabbing her backpack, bow, and arrows, Kagome jumped into the well and disappeared, reappearing in the past.
"Hey guys! Are any of you here?" Kagome called, walking through the forest, looking for her friends.
"Hi Kagome," Sango's voice cut through the trees, "You're back!"
"Hey, Sango. Hi guys, yeah…I was out with… someone, a friend. Sorry I was back so late."
"Well, high time you were back," Inuyasha muttered, "We need to get back to collecting the Shikon Shards."
Is that all he cares about? she thought.
"Inuyasha just means that he missed you," Shippo said helpfully.
"It's okay, Shippo," Kagome said, "it's what I would expect, anyway. So, Sango, any sign of the shards or any demons recently?"
"Well, there were some stories of a dog demon, but not much harm was done. I thought that it might be your brother, Inuyasha," Sango said.
"Whatever, I've been meaning to look for him anyway. I'm still looking for revenge for last time," the half-demon recalled angrily.
"It's almost evening, though," Miroku reminded them, "We might as well camp here," he added decidedly. Everyone else nodded agreeably.

That night, just before everyone got ready to sleep…
Inuyasha lifted his head suddenly and sniffed. His amber eyes flashed strangely.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. The half-demon said nothing, but jumped out of his tree and bounded away.
"What was that?" Kagome asked. Her friends exchanged glances, but avoided Kagome's gaze.
"Nothing, Kagome," Sango finally said, "go to sleep, he'll be back." Her friend nodded slowly, and went to sleep reluctantly.
NEXT SECTION
Suddenly, Kagome woke. It was dark, and her friends were all asleep, except for Inuyasha, who still hadn't returned to camp.
Worried, she got up and went looking for him. She didn't have to go far.
There was Inuyasha, locked in an embrace with…Kikyo! (Die, you slutty pile of baked clay! I hate Kikyo, if you haven't noticed.) Kagome gasped and ran.
Inuyasha looked up and saw Kagome.
"Wait! Kagome!" he shouted, but she was gone. Kikyo had also gone; she had disappeared suddenly and he was alone, except for a certain someone with silver hair in the trees.

"Stupid Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, sitting at the edge of a spring, dangling her legs in the cool, reflective water. She kicked at her reflection, disturbing the water.
"Yes, my half-brother," a cold voice spat, "is indeed very stupid." Kagome turned to see Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's cool, cold-hearted half-brother, a full demon. She jumped up in fear, stumbled, fell in the grass, and began to back away, until she was cornered against a wall of stone. Sesshomaru only advanced.
He took her chin in his hand. "You are indeed beautiful, even if you are only a human. But I can change that, if you join me and help me find the Shikon Shards."
"Never! No matter what Inuyasha, or anyone else, acts, I will not betray my friends!" she shouted defiantly.
"Then I guess you will need some convincing, then," Sesshomaru said evenly. Then, without warning, he drew out a long hair pin, took hold of her, and stuck it in her locks. A blinding flash ensued. Kagome discovered that she couldn't move, and the pin caused her hair to curl up, winding around the pin.
Sesshomaru lifted her up and walked off toward.
He sat her against a tree, behind a small bush, where she could see out, but no one could see her. Then, the full demon himself settled behind the tree and melted into the shadows.
"Kikyo!" Kagome heard Inuyasha's voice call, and her heart lurched. What about her? Kikyo, that slut, would be fine! She stared at him, willing him to see her but she saw him walk past instead and hug the long dead priestess.
No! she screamed in her mind, Please, Inuyasha! She wanted to look away, but she couldn't avert her eyes. Her limbs, her body, they refused to move.
Sesshomaru! she yelled, I…I'll help you. I'll do whatever you say…just…stop, she thought with a mental sigh, defeated. She hated herself for being so weak, but she couldn't watch anymore; the way Inuyasha caressed Kikyo's hair, so tenderly…
I knew you would come around, he broke into her thoughts, and quietly, took her to a remote place in the forest. He undid the pin, releasing her. She fell with a gasp.
"Come," he said, "we are going to my castle."
"What are we doing?" she asked in spite of herself.
"I shall marry you, but not before I make you…a demon. I, Lord Sesshomaru, will not mate with a human. You will do what I say, I trust?"
"Yes," Kagome whispered weakly, and stood, following Sesshomaru out of the forest and down a wide riverbank, along a cliff.

Kagome saw a small campfire in the distance, and followed Sesshomaru toward it. Soon, she could see two small figures sitting by it.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you're back!" Rin jumped up.
"My lord," Jaken said, bowing. Sesshomaru waved his hand in dismissal.
"Rin, you shall wait here, with…Kagome." It was the first time he had said her name, "While Jaken and I attend to some…matters, before we return home."
"My lord, can't I join you?" Rin asked.
"No, it is no place for humans, Rin. You will stay here. And I trust you will not leave?" he directed his question toward Kagome.
"No."
"Such disrespect towards my lord!" Jaken exclaimed, jumping up indignantly.
"It's alright. She'll come around. Won't you, my dear?" Kagome looked away. He laughed.
"Come, Jaken. We shall be back by dawn, so stay here, Rin." He got up to leave.
"Goodbye, my lord!" Rin called after them; two silhouetted figures in the distance now. "Hurry back!" Sesshomaru did not reply, and Jaken graced them with a backward glance.

Inuyasha had just reached their camp. He'd been searching all over the forest for Kagome, but she had simply disappeared.
"Miroku, Sango! Did you guys see Kagome?" The monk and exterminator woke groggily and looked around.
"Hmmm? What! I thought she was here, she must have left or something," Sango said, her eyes searching desperately for her friend.
"Damn!" Inuyasha swore. "What was she doing, anyway? Why would she go walking in the forest in the middle of the night? Doesn't she know it's dangerous?"
"Inuyasha, did you see Kikyo again?" Miroku asked.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Did Kagome see you with Kikyo?" Sango demanded. "It's really dangerous at night! Ugh!" she cried, frustrated.
"Alright, alright, I'll go look for here!" Inuyasha yelled and disappeared through the trees.
"We might as well search, too," Miroku suggested, "but we should leave a sign in case she comes back and doesn't see us here." With those words, the monk took a stick and wrote a brief message in the dirt. Then, they, too, disappeared into the dark forest.

Sesshomaru and Jaken returned to camp and found the two human girls sleep. (Kagome was pretending to.) Jaken aroused them, and they departed for Sesshomaru's castle.
NEXT SECTION
Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kara met back at camp at dawn; their search had been fruitless. There was no sign of Kagome. Whatever had happened, no trace of it was found.
"Where could she be?" Inuyasha paced the forest floor.
"Tell, me the truth, Inuyasha, did you or did you not see Kikyo? Because, if she saw you with Kikyo, then Kagome will have been really upset and run off by herself. Someone, or something, could have hurt her!" Sango said accusingly.
"Alright, I did see Kikyo, and…Kagome saw us," Inuyasha admitted.
"That's…," Miroku trailed off, "but it's not like Kagome to wander off and worry us on purpose."
"Maybe she went back, you know, to her own time. Inuyasha, you have to bring her back. You're the only one who can," Sango said.
"No way! She wouldn't come back with me, anyway."
"Just apologize," Shippo suggested.
"Apologize! For what? She's the one who went walking in the forest and looking for trouble. It's not my fault," Inuyasha said, crossing his arms defiantly.
"She was only worried about you. We know you've been sneaking off to meet Kikyo, but we didn't tell Kagome. You really should go and find here and apologize," Miroku said.
"Fine! I'll do it just to get you guys off my back!" The silver-haired half-demon left for the Bone-eaters' Well.

They reached the castle two nights after they left.
It was huge, with traditional grey stone turrets and large moat. Who knew what was in the murky water? They ancient structure had moss and vines growing on the sides of the wall, and a bridge slowly began to lower itself across the wide moat.
Kagome looked up and followed Sesshomaru and the others toward the gate. She paused before she stepped onto the creaky wooden bridge.
Will I regret my decision? she thought wildly, Should I? But before she could think, her feet had carried to the other side of the bridge, and the gate closed with a clang of iron.
Once they had entered the castle itself, Sesshomaru began to issue orders to his various demon servants and maids.
"Take her to her room," he said to one. The demon gestured for Kagome to follow, and she followed him up a winding set of stairs all the way to the fourth floor. Although the castle had looked ancient and lonely from the outside, the inside was freshly furnished and new. The servant took a right, walked down a long corridor, and stopped at the end of it at an oak door.
The demon opened it and Kagome went inside. He closed it after her. She heard the click of a lock; so, she was still a prisoner.
Kagome looked around. It was not a room; it was a suite, rich, even if it was to hold her prisoner. The first room was a parlor; it led to a small dining room, then her bedchamber. The bed was large and the mattress looked comfortable, but Kagome saw it with a sinking heart as realization finally hit her. She would be staying here, forever.
