Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha…………but I'd like to own Sesshomaru!!!!!!!

Summary – Kagome, sick and tired on Inuyasha always calling her weak and pathetic, finally tells him her secret un be known that a pair of eyes are spying on them. I wrote a prologue but it sucked so here is the just of it. Kagome was missing for about a month and the gang tried to find her, Kagome was kidnapped by Naraku and taken into a chamber, much like the one in DBZ where time on the inside was MUCH slower than on the outside. While she was there Naraku tourcherd and trained her for almost 200 years, trying to break her to succumb to his will and help him destroy Inuyasha… She barley escaped with her life, and made her way back to the group.

Sesshomaru silently looked on at the two, who continued their quarrel unaware of his presence.
"Where the hell do you get off telling me who I can and cannot see? You're not my Father, nor are you my mate Inuyasha! So tell me, because I fail to see where you have the right." Inuyasha stood baffled at the young Miko's outburst, but it didn't take him log to sober up.
" Well, if you weren't so stupid and weak, unlike Kikyo, maybe I wouldn't feel the need to!" he shouted.
"Weak! Stupid!" Kagome ground out. She had had enough of Inuyasha calling her waek and stupid. "That's it!" she yelled and threw her hands up in defeat as Inuyasha smirked. "Wipe that smile off your face, Inuyasha." Her eyes flashed dangerously. " I have had enough of your constant comparisons of me to your dead bitch! Tired of you always putting me down. Well here's a news flash for you!" Her voice was deadly calm now; Inuyasha couldn't help but wonder what had happened to make her snap like this. He crossed his arms indignantly and turned his nose to the air.
" Well, what is it wench, we ain't got all night." She growled.

"You truly are a fool Inuyasha, you know that." She laughed darkly. " Sango figured it out, Miroku, Kirara, even Shippou made me." Inuyasha furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, his undivided attention on Kagome. "I'm not Kikyou's reincarnation, half-wit, I am no one's."
"That's impossible your just in denial Kagome, when are you going to accept the fact that your-."
" Silence half-breed, I grow tired of you!" Inuyasha's eyes widened.
" Kagome, you sound just like Sesshomaru." Kagome grinned.
" That's because me and you darling half-brother aren't too different. You really haven't figured it out have you?" Inuyasha shook his head, and she chuckled darkly again. " I'm not Kikyou's reincarnation because I was born before her." Inuyasha looked stumped. "Still don't get it? Fine I'll show you why I'm not weak and pathetic, because unlike you I have untainted blood, pure blood, just like Sesshomaru. So compared to me, you're the one who's pathetic!" Her body started to glow and shake as her nails and teeth elongated, her hair becoming longer, with a purple sheen to it. Her eyes turned the colour of the sea, her face the markings of a high-class royal demoness, with a powerful nature. She was beautiful, like a goddess, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's eyes popped out f their heads ant the sight of her.
"What the fuck!" Inuyasha yelled in shock. " H-how is this possible!" Inuyasha's eyes widened and he drew his sword. "You bitch!" he screamed. " You used the jewel shards for this didn't you!"

Inuyasha lunged at Kagome, winging his sword around wildly. Kagome side stepped the sudden attack and kicked him in the back, sending him flying into the nearest tree, which just happened to be the one Sesshomaru was currently occupying. Inuyasha was sprawled, in what looked like, in a most uncomfortable position, unconscious. Sighing at the state of the poor Hanyou, she turned to leave, tilting her head sideways towards the tree.
" Enjoy the show Fluffy?" She threw her head backwards in an uproar of laughter. Sesshomaru scowled at the nickname she had bestowed upon him as he gracefully jumped down from his perch in the tree.
" I knew there was something off about you, girl. No one can attack this Sesshomaru and get away with their life so easily." She smiled and turned towards him.
"I believe that this Kagome has gotten away with her life more than once, Fluffy." Sesshomaru growled openly at the demoness.
" That is Lord Sesshomaru to you, wench." Kagome eyes narrowed at the Lord.
" And that is Kagome-samma to you as well, prick." She glowered. Sesshomaru stalked angrily toward the miko-demon, his eyes tinged red, but she held her ground unwavering. Sesshomaru's inner beast was going crazy, she wasn't afraid or intimidated by him!
"Watch your tongue girl, or this Sesshomaru will be forced to act accordingly."

He was barley inches away from her face and still she did not move.
"And what would be accordingly?" she asked slyly.
" You don't want to know." She raised a perfect brow.
" Oh really? You've just gone and decided this for me, have you?" Sesshomaru looked thoughtful for a moment before answering.
" Yes, this Sesshomaru has." Kagome tried to retaliate but Sesshomaru had other plans. Using their close proximity to his advantage his released a small amount of his poison in a gaseous form knocking the girl out with ease. Kagome's eyes rolled in the back of her head and her knees buckled as she fell into Sesshomaru's firm chest. Looking down he almost sighed. Oh the headache he would have later. Once she awoke she wouldn't be as peaceful as she was now. Sesshomaru knew that once those gorgeous eyes of hers opened, there would be hell to pay. From what he knew, this girl would go kicking and screaming till the end, and with his sensitive hearing, he couldn't wait. Picking up her still form up into his arm and tail, he formed his cloud and swiftly sped off toward the western lands, leaving Inuyasha in the dust.

Sesshomaru arrived at his castle near daybreak, to see everything proceeding as usual. He had to suppress a groan when he smelled the familiar stench of Jakken coming his way.
"Mi Lord!" The shriveled toad yelled as he waddled over to Sesshomaru.
"You've returned ahead of schedule! It is so wonder-." Jakken stopped his ranting when he noticed the bundle in Sesshomaru's arm.
"Mi Lord not another wench, I thought that Rin was-."
"Silence Jakken or I will relieve you of your head." Jakken's eyes widened and he bowed and kissed the ground in front of Sesshomaru.
"My most humble apologies my Lord, Please do not kill this most humble servant of yours." Sesshomaru snorted at the pathetic toad as he walked through the palace doors. A servant greeted him.
"My Lord, is there anything this servant can do for you?" Sesshomaru thought for a moment as he stared down at the servant.
" Yes, prepare a room next to mine and find Aahiko and tell him to report to me in the study." The servant bowed lover, and quickly left. Shifting the girl, he gracefully made his way towards the study though the seemingly endless hallways.

Sliding open the door of his destination, he walked in to the far side of the room and placed Kagome onto the couch. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear he got a chance to finally look at her. The marking on her face seemed oddly familiar, but he couldn't place it. Her silvery marking held an odd shape and in the light it seemed to glitter in a thousand different colours. He traced the outline of the symbol that adorned her brow and found her face to be as smooth as water. Realizing what he was doing Sesshomaru ripped away his hand as if it was on fire. Aahiko knocked on Sesshomaru' s door and waited for permission to answer.
" Come in." Sesshomaru's cold voice pierced the silence as he walked to stand by his desk. Aahiko stepped through the door, not needing to open it and bowed to Sesshomaru.

Aahiko was one of Sesshomaru finest assassins and what one could perceive to be a close friend. They had grown up together as children; their Fathers had trained them together.
"You wanted to see me Sesshomaru"
"Yes I did." Sesshomaru walked to stand by Kagome.
" I have a somewhat difficult task for you, Aahiko." He said looking at Kagome. Aahiko almost jumped when he noticed her lying dormant on the couch. He couldn't help but notice the obvious beauty she possessed. " You are to watch her, protect her, and above all make sure she in no way leaves her room. I am not yet aware of the abilities she is capable of."
"Yes of course, but Lord Sesshomaru, who is she?" Sesshomaru sighed.
"Her name is Kagome, that is all you need to know, for now." Aahiko didn't like this at all, he was going to have to baby-sit some spoiled demoness, and Sesshomaru was acting weird, he normally told him everything that was going on. But this time Sesshomaru was leaving him in the dark and he had no idea of what to do in this situation.

There was another knock on the door; the servant he had talked to earlier informed him that the room was ready. Picking up the miko again he carried her to the bedroom.

"Oh uhg!" Kagome groaned, and sat up. "I feel like I just got hit by a truck, or something." She put her hand to her forehead in an effort to stop the throbbing pain in her temples. Wincing, she slowly got out of bed being careful not to jostle her head as much as possible. Her feet came into contact with the cool wood floor waking her up fully. She looked around at the lavished room. It was mainly purple with a silver accent. Kagome looked over the expensive furniture with awe. Never had she seen such a room. She gazed around a little while longer before the events of the previous night came flooding back into her mind. Sesshomaru's face, the acrid smell of his poison and then nothing.

"Sesshomaru you bastard!" She growled angrily. Storming towards the door she tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. Letting out a frustrated sigh she tried again. And again and again until she threw her hands up in defeat, kicking the door in frustration. She was unaware of the demon keeping watch over her. "Okay, so, now what?" She looked around the room and smirked when she say the doors leading to the balcony. She silently cheered in joy. Briskly, she walked over and threw the massive doors open. Smiling she breathed in the fresh air and leaned over the edge of the balcony, preparing herself to jump off. Looking down she froze; she was so high up she didn't even think Sesshomaru could survive the fall. "Okay, maybe this isn't such a good idea." She walked back into her room leaving the doors open and looked for an alternate way out. After about fie minutes she didn't find any. "Aagh! This is so not happening!" She yelled in frustration. Stomping back over to the door she started pounding on it. "Hey! Is there anybody out there?" She was getting furious; she felt her anger coiling inside her bubbling to the top. She felt ready to burst in fury, but instead she fell through the door. "Ahhhh!" she yelped and landed on her butt.

Aahiko was beginning to get a headache from the racket the small girl was making. He was distracted from the dull pulse in his head when Sesshomaru rounded the corner towards him. "Lord Sesshomaru" he bowed.
"Good afternoon Aahiko, I hear she has awoken." Aahiko chuckled lightly.
"Yes, I believe the whole castle has." Sesshomaru smirked. Both of there eyed widened as Kagome herself yelped and fell through the door. Aahiko's mouth was agape and Sesshomaru masked his shock.
"How-." Kagome looked up at him and then looked to Sesshomaru. She stood up and rubbed her sore bottom slightly before turning her fury on Sesshomaru.
" You bastard!" She yelled as she glared at him. "What the hell did you do that for? That was so not necessary! You could have asked first! You big jerk!" Kagome then took a breath and turned to Aahiko. " Oh hello there. My name is Kagome, it's nice to meet you!" She chirped and bowed at him. Aahiko raised a brow at the girl's strange behavior, yelling at Sesshomaru one minute and the next she was happily saying hello? What was this girl?
" It is nice to meet you as well, I am Aahiko." Kagome smiled back at him and then turned back to Sesshomaru.
" Well, what do you have to say for yourself?" She demanded, glaring at Sesshomaru, who in turn stared idly at her. "Well?" She asked again.
" This Sesshomaru does not have to explain himself to a weak little girl." Kagome gasped and clenched her fists together in anger.
"What was that?" She gritted her teeth in anger.
" I said, this Sesshomaru does not need to explain himself to a weak little girl." Kagome's eyes flashed dangerously as she growled at him. "Oh really?" She smirked. Aahiko didn't like where this was headed.

Reaching deep within her self, Kagome grasped a hold of her miko powers. She concentrated on them forcing the pink purity into her hand. The hair on Aahiko and Sesshomaru's necks began to rise their senses telling them to run from the danger, but it was too late. Kagome threw her small energy ball at Sesshomaru hitting him square in the gut; he flew backwards and hit the wall at the end of the hallway. He groaned and sat up glaring at the miko-demon.
"Am I so weak now, your highness?" She chuckled darkly a little before Aahiko had her against the wall, sword to her throat.
"Move and die Miko." Aahiko's voice was almost as cold a Sesshomaru's as he spoke, putting more pressure on the blade with each word drawing blood.
"Aahiko, release the wench I will deal with her." Sesshomaru turned cold eyes upon Kagome silently warning her that if she did anything stupid, he wouldn't hesitate to react violently. "Yes mi Lord." Aahiko bowed and retreated out of the hallway with one last glare at Kagome.

Once Aahiko had gone Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome by the arm and dragged her down the hallway. They walked a few feet before coming upon two huge white doors, she didn't have time to look at them for they were thrown open and she was violently cast to the ground. She hit the wood with a sickening crack as her shoulder popped out of its socket. She let out a silent scream of pain and bit her lip drawing blood. She only had a few seconds before Sesshomaru picked her up and slammed her into a wall.
"Wench!" He spit out. "You dare attack this Sesshomaru in front of his servants?" Kagome whimpered from the pain in her shoulder, Sesshomaru wasn't helping any by griping it so tightly and shaking her. Mustering up as much courage as possible and looked Sesshomaru dead strait in the eyes. "It seems that I have dared, now doesn't it?" she half smiled and half winced from the pain. "You will learn your place, bitch!" He snarled, his face a hair away from hers.
"Already have, and my place has nothing to do with YOU!"

Kagome's eyes glowed softly red, her fury seeping out into the open. Sesshomaru pushed her harder up against the wall earning a soft cry of pain from Kagome. He smirked, feeling triumphant over her. Realizing this Kagome growled low in her throat, warning Sesshomaru to back off. Sesshomaru grinned darkly at her.
"It seems, my little demoness, that this Sesshomaru has the upper hand. So you can either do as I say, or face the consequences." His grin grew wider as he leaned in his mouth on her ear. "And trust me, my little demoness, you don't want the consequences." Kagome squirmed under him, desperately trying to push him away with her uninjured arm. Sesshomaru only tightened his grip he had upon her.

"Let me go Sesshomaru! Let me go!" she pleaded, becoming more desperate with every attempt to free herself. Memories of her time with Naraku flashed through her head. The distant screams as he cut her flesh and broke her down played in her mind. Her heart began to race as fear and self-preservation began to take over. Her breathing became erratic; her mind was hazed with panic. The sly smirk and the death grip Sesshomaru had on her weren't helping either.

Sesshomaru was begging to lose his patience as well as his temper. The girl was just too damn confusing. He could smell her fear as if it were tangible. She was squirming and pathetically trying to push away from him.
"Woman, I will not release you until you calm down." His voice was smooth and even as he spoke to her. Kagome began to fight him less and less until finally she gave in and stopped. Though still tense with anticipation of another assault Sesshomaru began to slowly release her from his firm grip. She looked at him warily while cradling her dislocated shoulder. Sesshomaru took a step forward to inspect it only to find that Kagome moved two steps away from him. Sesshomaru frowned oddly enough this didn't anger him he felt something twinge inside at the sight of her wounded and afraid, all of which was his fault.

"Come here, your arm, let this Sesshomaru see it." He motioned with his hand for her to come to him but she flinched in response. Her instincts were telling her that this demon in front of her was much stronger than she, and he was not to be trifled with. "Miko, I am not going to hurt you come here." This time it wasn't an option it was an order. Frightened of what he might do she quickly walked and stood before him, her eyes cast to the side not wanting to see him. Sesshomaru noticed this and frowned again, the same twinge as before resurfacing. "Give me your arm." She complied and bit her lip to silence the cry of pain as he took her arm into his hands. Sesshomaru felt around her shoulder and solidified that it was indeed dislocated, he didn't miss the caustic smell of her unshed tears as he worked. Kagome cried out when he put pressure on a particularly sensitive part. He couldn't help but be disgusted when the urge to apologize to her bubbled up in his throat. Pushing the feeling aside he released her arm back to her. "Your shoulder is dislocated, we will need to pop it back in." He stated. "Well, no duh!" Kagome rolled her eyes at the stoic demon lord and he growled, warning her to fall silent.
"Come, we will go find Aahiko, he will fix this for you." He said gesturing towards her shoulder. Turning to face the door he looked back at her in a silent order for her to follow.

Kagome silently followed Sesshomaru through the seemingly endless hallways. The inside of the castle was astonishing, paintings, of which she could only assume were Sesshomaru's ancestors, lined the walls of the hallways each unique in there own ways. She was awed and the sheer size the castle must be, she had walked through so many long halls she was begging to believe this place was built like a maze, which didn't really surprise her, Sesshomaru had numerous enemies, ones that would surely be lost before they could kill him, inevitably getting could and killed. She almost smirked at the idea. She was jostled from her musing when she ran into Sesshomaru's solid back. He turned raising a silver brow at her antics. Brushing it off he opened two large doors. Kagome peered around him and gasped, behind the doors laid the largest dojo she had ever dreamed of. She figured it could hold at last five Sesshomaru's in his true form.

Everyone inside of the dojo stopped whatever they were doing to face Sesshomaru, a few whispers about the goddess beside him blew through the men.

Kagome gulped, there were so many demons in there, and she doubted she could take them all on. She became frightened; this must have been what Sesshomaru meant when he said 'consequences'. She almost shuddered at the thought of what these me could do to her. She halted in her thoughts when she remembered that Sesshomaru had said he was taking her to get her arm fixed. But if he was intending to fix her arm, why would he punish her? Or for that matter kill her? Her fears subsided and she stood a little taller as she made her way out from behind Sesshomaru, not missing the murmurs about her.

Sesshomaru was slightly proud that Kagome had caused such a stir. Glancing once at Kagome, he turned back to the crowed of soldiers before him.
"Aahiko" he ordered, motioning the Shadow demon to come over to him. Aahiko was there in a flash, bowing to Sesshomaru.
" Yes Lord Sesshomaru, is there something I can do for you?" He straitened up and looked at his lord expectantly, taking a quick glance toward the miko-demon. "
It seems that the demoness here has somehow dislocated her left shoulder, I need you to escort her to the hospice wing and see to it the problem is fixed. Then make sure she stays in her room." Aahiko bowed and escorted Kagome back out into the endless hallways.

"Sorry" She muttered. Aahiko looked at her in surprise, the rumors about her were somewhat true, she was an anomaly.
"May I inquire just what you are sorry for?" Kagome looked at him for a second before answering.
"I'm sorry that you have to baby-sit me, I'm pretty sure that was the last thing you ever wanted to do" She laughed sadly. "It seems that I am always the last thing on everyone's list. If you need me to do anything for you, just ask." She smiled at him and turned her head back down, facing the ground. He was a bit shocked at the fact that she had apologized to him. Aahiko was sure she would be another spoiled demoness, only caring about herself, he didn't think that she would turn out to be a humble demoness who cared about others. She was after all extraordinarily powerful not to mention beautiful.

They continued walking a while longer in silence, both contemplating as they went. Kagome looked up when Aahiko stopped walking.
"Where are we?" she asked.
"We are at the medical wing, Lady Kagome." Aahiko opened the door for her and allowed her to walk in first, following closely behind her. Kagome looked around at her new surroundings. The smell of the room hit her the hardest, the scent was horrible, it smelt of blood and death, not to mention the acrid smell of potions and ointments. She swallowed the urge to vomit. She noticed that the walls in here were bare and it made the room feel hollow and cold. There were simple cots lined against the walls, bedside tables beside them. She pulled herself away from her thought when Aahiko began to speak.
" Iyasu, are you here?" Kagome looked around, confused as to why he wouldn't know if she was there.
'I thought that his specialty was sensing auras. Why wouldn't he be able to sense this Iyasu?' She continued to look around when she spotted the Iyasu character. She came out of the shadows in the corner of the room, seemingly like she had glided out of black water suspended in the air. Iyasu glided across the room like she was skating on ice. She was wearing a thin black outfit, much like the one Sango wore, only silk. Her hair was equally black, contrasting against her pale skin and ruby red lips.
'She's beautiful' Kagome thought. 'It should be a crime to be that pretty'

"Aahiko?" Iyasu asked, worry evident in her shaking voice. "Aahiko, what are you doing here? You are not hurt are you?" She touched his shoulder and looked him over, searching for any signs of injury. Aahiko laughed at the antics of the demoness.
"Iyasu, calm down. I am in no way injured, and this is not a social call." Iyasu frowned a little at hearing he wasn't going to stay long. "I am here because Lady Kagome has dislocated her shoulder and Sesshomaru has ordered me to hand her over to you for the moment." Iyasu's eyes widened as she looked at Kagome, noticing her for the first time.
"This is Lady Kagome?" She looked to Aahiko for conformation that it was true.
"Yes, yes it is." He gave Kagome a small smile before Iyasu began to speak again.
"Oh my goodness! Aahiko you didn't do her justice, she is not pretty! She looks like a goddess!" she exclaimed half yelling. "Honestly you would think you were blind or something," she chastised. Kagome was baffled and shocked at her statement.
'I look like a goddess? What is he talking about? The only thing I have ever been called is weak, ugly and pathetic. What is she smoking?' Kagome blushed a little at the comment.

"Well I don't know about goddess, but I'm definitely not as pretty as you are." Kagome chuckled a little bit, wincing from the pain as she jostled her arm.
"Oh, forgive me! I totally forgot about your arm! Here sit on that chair." Aahiko laughed at Iyasu, she was always so frazzled. "Oh, do shut up Aahiko. You are ever so annoying, wouldn't you agree Lady Kagome?" Iyasu laughed.
"I don't know, I really don't know Aahiko that well, and please just call me Kagome, the 'Lady' stuff isn't really needed, I'm not exactly royalty here." Both demons raised a brow at her. "Kagome, it doesn't matter if your royalty or not. You are Sesshomaru's guest, for one, but you power alone earns you that title." Aahiko stated looking as serious as Sesshomaru.
"M-My power? You're kidding, right? I'm really not powerful at all. Inuyasha always said that I was weak, as does Sesshomaru." Iyasu gasped.
"Well, don't you even listen to those two, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are thick headed fools to call you that. I'm sure that given the right situation you could best Sesshomaru." Iyasu smiled. "Iyasu, I think you should fix her arm now." Aahiko said coolly, not liking the fact that Iyasu was potentially giving the Miko-Demoness ideas.

Iyasu sighed and started to work on Kagome.
"Now it's just a dislocated shoulder so it's nothing big, but I will warn you that it is going to hurt worse then when it popped out. But only for a couple of seconds, I will count to three and then ill force it back in, hold on to the chair with your other hand to brace yourself. Kagome nodded and bit her lip, Iyasu counted to three and Kagome made a muffled cry of pain as it went in. She blinked her eyes as they watered and took in a few deep breaths. The pain subsided but there was still a dull ache that lingered. "There now, see? That wasn't so bad now was it?" Kagome looked at Iyasu and raised her eyebrows.
"Uh huh, yeah, no biggie." She drawled and rolled her eyes.
"Oh, stop being such a baby." Iyasu teased.
"I am not a baby! That hurt, you would complain too, you know." Aahiko sighed; he had a feeling that these two were going to be inseparable.
