Sticks and Stones

I do not own any of the characters from either Hellsing or Inuyasha


Chapter 1

Everyone has a know-it-all in their lives, but Kagome could argue for hours about how she knew the worst of them all. Sesshomaru was a real asshole five hundred years ago but time only made him worse. After the well sealed shut with her on the wrong side (her time) he met her on the steps of the shrine two days later. No pleasantries were exchanged. He was only there to tell her that he already enrolled her in a prestigious college and if she wasn't valedictorian when she graduated all the money he spent she would owe him. He also demanded she be formally trained both as a miko and warrior.

After years of hard work both in school and in the dojo Sesshomaru finally explained his reasoning behind helping her.

"Assistant?!"

"Hn."

"I spent all that time in school and you want me to be your assistent?"

"Hn."

"Can I at least get a real answer besides 'hn'!"

Sesshomaru delicately sighed and shifted from his spot behind his massive desk. This job interview wasn't going the way he wanted it to.

"Have you ever wondered why there are no youkai in this time period miko?"

"Yeah but-"

"One hundred years after you left there was a great war. Humans killed many of us and by the time it was over few of us were left standing. Knowing they had the upper hand humans gave us an ultimatum. Blend in with the human population or be destroyed. I was appointed to see to it that the youkai population was kept hidden and that those dull enough to step out of line be eliminated. You would be a great asset to me as a miko."

Plus he thought dryly Inuyasha made me promise to keep watch over you on his deathbed.

Kagome went quiet for a minute. She knew Sesshomaru didn't give her an education out of the kindness of his heart but she had no idea he had been grooming her for this sole purpose.

"It would be in your best interest to accept, Miko. No one else will take your application knowing that I have you in my sights. It would be hindrance trying to hide the fact you don't age anyway."

Oh right. Another thing she had to keep in mind. Four years had passed and she looked exactly the way she did fresh out of the last battle. That little tidbit of information was getting harder to ignore. Sota has started to look more like her twin then her younger brother.

Kagome let out a groan.

"I guess I should just accept the offer. No matter what I'll end up being you assistant sometime down the line."

The only answer she got was a creepy smile.


Thanks for reading!
