I do not own Inuyasha. I might have at one point posted an Inuyasha fan fiction under a different alias only to delete it a few days later, but for simplicity's sake let's just say this is my first Inuyasha endeavor and leave it at that.

A/N. Just so I get the legalities out of the way and to avoid possible headaches, I posted this exact story on fictionpress about two years ago. I had originally wanted this plot bunny to remain an original fiction, but the circumstances fit Kagome and Sesshomaru so well I couldn't help but post it here. This story, furthermore, was inspired by Forthright's own magnificent drabble series, Impeccable. Go read her stories if you haven't already!

As a note of warning: This is a series of small, quick chapters - between drabbles and snippets, and is not yet complete and, to be honest, doesn't have one overarching plotline. It's basically written to fulfill my own romantic fantasies, but hopefully y'all will enjoy what my imagination has conjured up as well.

With that said,
Enjoy!

1. The Deed

The deed was on the table, but he did not relent. Instead, he stood taller. His eyes glowed red and his mouth parted in a snarl. Despite the nauseating power pulsing off him, he remained darkly attractive.

"I do not care for such human contracts," he poised softly, politely. Taking up the deed with his clawed hand Kagome watched as the legal document slowly curled in flames, and as the ashes landed on the table she purchased just the day before he spoke again. "This is my clan's land, my land and has been for centuries, Higurashi-san."

Kagome could only stare back, her mouth agape and breath eerily steady as her eyes rose from the ashes to the youkai's eyes. If he would have asked or explained nicely in the first place she would have given it back to him. Nicely. Then there would have been no problem and no rude, angry demons in her adorable, little house. She was kind of angry now, had been sort of annoyed all day, and this meeting certainly did not make things any brighter.

Instead, mouth still open, she thanked her lucky stars above that she listened to her mother's advice.

"You know that's only a copy of the original."

He glared back at her in silence that ensued.
