Title: How the Heck Did I Get Stuck With You?!

By: Youkai-Kagome

Rating: R for language and possible lemons.

Summary: Sesshoumaru has always hated humans. But what will happen when he's thrown into a ball-like prison with a certain human miko? Kagome has never really feared any demons in all her years fighting for Shikon Shards. After finally gathering all the shards, the Shikon No Tama's original creator, Midoriko, places her and her worst nightmare in a ball-like prison until they figure out how to get out. Will she be able to break his heart of ice? Or will she and Sesshoumaru be stuck together for the rest of their lives in this ball-like prison?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own InuYasha. Rumiko Takahashi(?) owns him and the characters. The idea is created by me. Please, if somebody already HAS the idea, would you kindly let me know and I will either delete the story or I will give you credit. But most likely, you will want me to delete it.

Opening Credits:

Sesshoumaru: I can't believe I have to get stuck with a human! A miko nonetheless!

Kagome: Oh, stop your fucking complaining! What's so fucking bad about humans anyway?!

Sesshoumaru: They're weak, backstabbers, and they don't have any common sense!

Kagome: Oh, really? *emphasizes the last word.* Have you EVER looked at someone's personailty? NO! You're an egotistical dog and refuse to accept the fact that some humans may actually HAVE youkai characteristics!

Sesshoumaru: Watch your mouth, wench. You don't know anything about youkai, so if I were you I would keep my trap shut!

Kagome: *mutters* Well this certainl went over well...

Youkai-Kagome: Whatever. On with the story!

Chapter 1-Unwanted Company

It was a beautiful day. A weird day that you almost felt that was going to turn out all wrong. So wrong you're sure nothing worse could happen. But, never count your chickens before they hatched. Kagome had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen to her today and InuYasha wouldn't be able to do *anything* about it. She was sure it had nothing to do with anybody but her...and somebody else. She knew it was somebody else, but she also knew that it had nothing to do with your friends. She figured that there was no point in figuring it out any further, after all, how far would that get you anyways when you can't see your future completely?

Little did she know that InuYasha was going to be taking everybody towards the direction of the place where her trouble would soon begin...She sensed something bad was going to happen and knew there would be no way of getting out of it even if InuYasha was alert for the attack. Miroku and Sango were talking amongst themselves. Little did Sango notice that Miroku hadn't groped her once that day. But, you could never know when a lecher would strike. If we knew the perv, it would be anytime now that he would grope Sango. *THUD!* Right on cew. Miroku was on the ground unconscious because he couldn't keep his grimy hands to himself again.

Kagome was getting the feeling of impending danger coming. When and how it was going to happen she didn't know. All she knew was it was something that she didn't feel comfortable about. InuYasha noticed this and said, "Kagome, something's bothering you, isn't it? Please don't hide it from me."

She wondered whether or not to tell him. He would be mad if something happened to her and she knew something was going to happen. If she told him, he would either scoff at her and say it was up in her head as usual or he would go egotistical and get overprotective which she couldn't stand one bit. "Nothing's wrong, InuYasha," she replied finally deciding what she would do. He quirked an eyebrow but decided against furthering because he knew what would happen if he continued. So, without even starting a fight over it he just let it drop.

'Why would he just let something like this drop? Normally, he gets up in my face about this kind of stuff and won't leave me alone until I either tell him or sit him to no end.' She thought confused. Suddenly, Kagome got an eery feeling that something powerful was coming their way, but it definitely wasn't after the Shikon No Tama...it was after Tetsusaiga! That can only mean....SESSHOUMARU!! Sesshoumaru was coming this way! InuYasha noticed this too as did everybody else and he quickly told everybody to get ready for an impending battle. But instead of the impending battle, this bright light suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, Kirara, and Kagome shielded their eyes from the great light. But little did Kagome know that this was Midoriko's doing. If she had, she would have done everything in her power to stop it. But it was probably good she didn't because the light proved to be too powerful even for her. Sesshoumaru made his way to where the InuYasha group was so he could try and take Tetsusaiga for himself, once and for all. Sesshoumaru upon arriving at the scene was nearly blinded by the bright light. Right when Sesshoumaru appeared, a bright light surrounded Kagome and Sesshoumaru and put them in a barrier.

"KAGOME!!!!" InuYasha cried. But it was no use. His Kagome was taken from him before his very eyes. 'This was what she was worried about,' he thought. "Let her out, you goddamn ball!!" he yelled angrily as he kicked it and was thrown unceremoniously into a tree.

Finally, a voice spoke up, "I am Midoriko, creator of the Shikon No Tama, also known as the Fours Souls Jewel. These two have been put in this barrier right before your eyes until they figure out how to get out. They have a prophecy to fulfill together which they do not know about yet."

"What prophecy?! This won't require a mating will it?!" InuYasha cried out, hoping to all gods it wasn't going to happen. 'He'll be devastated to hear the truth. It seems that both brothers have fallen for this reincarnation of the miko, Kikyo. Although, it wouldn't take InuYasha long to admit, he would jump right to it, given the right moment. But, Sesshoumaru? He doesn't want to admit that he's fallen head over heals for Kagome. It is clear with InuYasha's quick temper that he isn't the man for the job that has to be done in the near future. He is too unstable. He thinks he knows what he wants, but to be honest he doesn't.'

"Yes, it will. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with you, InuYasha. You are too unstable. With your quick temper you will quickly mess things up which have been already planned by the fates. All I can say is Sesshoumaru and Kagome are destined to be together to fulfill the prophecy. And before you plot anything, if you love Kagome, InuYasha, you will want her to be happy. If we know you, you'll do something stupid and only make her life even more miserable, and when Sesshoumaru and her get out, I don't think he will be too pleased," Midoriko warned him. Of course, she knew he would do something stupid, but when he did, he wouldn't be able to say she didn't warn him.

"Feh. Like Sesshoumaru would fall madly in love with a human, even more a miko who could purify him at any given time. And what the fuck do you mean I'm unstable?! I do not have a bad temper!!," InuYasha snorted. He wasn't going to believe a dead miko that Sesshumaru could actually fall in love with a miko, but deep down in his heart he knew it was possible. And he certainly wasn't going to believe anytime soon that he was unstable and had a tendency to unleash his temper too quick.

"We'll see, InuYasha, we'll see." And with that she was gone.

~Barrier~

"What happened?!" Sesshoumaru and Kagome exclaimed at the same time, "YOU!!"

"Why am I stuck with a pathetic human miko wench?! I've got better things to do besides be trapped in some stupid bubble with a human! WHAT ABOUT MY LANDS?!?!" He roared.

Kagome was about to say "Oh shutup! Don't you think I have better things too besides being stuck here with an egotistical dog who has nothing better to gripe about besides complain about his lands?!" but she held her tongue and said, "Oh stop your damn complaining! Don't you have anything better to do besides complain about your *precious* lands and mingle with pathetic human wenches?! Geez, you act like you're better than everybody else! Just like your half-brother! You're both egotistical when it comes to power and youkai heritage!" Kagome snorted angrily. She was quite offended that she was called a 'pathetic human miko wench'.

Sesshoumaru was about to reply when Midoriko appeared and said, "SILENCE! I have brought you here because you two have a destiny to fulfill. I will not tell you because you need to figure this out on your own."

"Why did you bring us here and leave me stuck here with an egotistical bastard?!" Kagome shouted. It was clear she didn't want to be here with him, but we'll see about that later.

"Who are YOU calling an egotistical bastard?! I have better things to do besides sit here with a wench! I have my lands to protect!!" Sesshoumaru growled.

"Yes, well, I understand you're the Lord of the Western Lands. Your lands will be no different from what they were when you last saw them. So, you have no reason to get out for the time being. You, Kagome are going to say you have the Shikon no Tama to protect. The Shikon no Tama will not need to be protected at this time. Yes, you have a family to go back to and all, I understand that. Just with Sesshoumaru's land, nothing will be anymore different than it is now. Now, as for more important stuff. Number one, you will be well fed and there will be plenty of water. Now, I'm sure you're wondering when and how you're going to get out. I cannot tell you how you're going to get out, but you won't get out until you figure out what it is you need to get out. That is all I can tell you for now." And with that she left, leaving Sesshoumaru and Kagome to their resources.

Soon after she left, Sesshoumaru and Kagome split the barrier in half at the river's edge. "Now, you don't cross my line, and I won't cross yours. Got it?" Kagome said warily. "Feh, whatever. I wouldn't come over there anyways." Kagome finally tuned him out because she was sick of his egotistical behavior.

*InuYasha and Sesshoumaru drag a screaming Youkai-Kagome away while saying,* "Don't forget to review. That ought to calm down Youkai-Kagome a bit...
