I turn to You

A girl with long pink hair and big green eyes came into the room.

"I am to escort you to the bath room, Milady." Kagome stared sadly at the girl.

"Okay." Kagome was herded into a giant bathroom with giant heated tubs. The girl motioned for her to remove her clothes and get in the tub. Kagome complied but slowly…very tiredly. The warm water felt so painful against her many bruises and her lip. It was soothing but very painful. The girl rubbed many oils and stuff in her hair. Kagome sulked in the tub, god how she wanted to kill him, terrible thought of her killing him entered her mind. Blood and gore bounced through her mind. As soon as she got her hands on her arrows…as soon as she did…good bye Sesshomaru! She let a little smile just as the girl dunked her under. Kagome came up gasping for air. The girl held out a towel. Kagome grabbed it quickly and stepped out of the water. Women came out and prodded and pulled at Kagome dressing her and combing her hair. They left her to her room by herself.

Kagome looked at a mirror that had not been there before. She stared at her own reflection Her cheeks were lightly black with bruises and her lip was slit. She looked down at her wrists which has rope burns across them, she could guess her ankles had the same. She looked at her neck it had light scars of where his claws nicked her. She closed her eyes, when she opened them the mirror was shattered and her hand was bleeding. She looked at her hand, her knuckles were bloody and she could see glass poking out of the lacerations. The girl came into her room with a cloth. She covered Kagomes hand and cleaned it then proceeded to wrap it. Two girls came after her cleaned up the mirror and exited the room with what was left of the mirror.

The girl herded Kagome out of the room into a large room. Sesshomaru sat at the end of the table.

"What happened to your hand?"

"She had an accident milord." The girl answered quickly. Kagome nodded.

"An accident named Sesshomaru" she whispered quietly. His eyebrow quirked.

"Fine you may leave us." With a flick of his hand the girl left. Using demonic speed he pulled out Kagomes chair. She sat down and let him push her in. He returned to his side of the table.

"What really happened to your hand?" Silence. "Kagome" he threatened.

"Why do you care?"

"Why do you insist on being difficult?"
"Why do you insist on keeping me here. Just leave me and Inuyasha alone." She said mockingly.

"You'll be happy here instead of with my idiot brother."

"How funny, he's twice the person you'll ever be, but then how would you know a persons worth? You're not even a man." She watched his eyes speckle with red and he pounded his fist on the table and closed his eyes. When he opened them they were clear.

"I have no desire to fight with you." Kagome smirked.

"Fighting is the only thing we do good together." She said squishing a bread between her fingers.

"I do not think so. If you gave it a chance I think we could have a very nice future."

"A future?" Kagome put down her mis-matched bread.

"Yes, a better one than you could hope for with my brother." There was a silence.

"You said that I had a busy day earlier, I doubt sitting here with you is a part of it."

"You are correct. Your lady-in-waiting will escort you to your music instructions, and then you will have a fitting."

"A fitting?"

"Yes, the clothes you came arrived in were burned."

"Oh."

"If I may continue. Then the rest of the day which will be small, I assure you, you can have to yourself."

"I wonder if that's a good idea." Kagome whispered.

"Excuse me?"

"I might do something drastic."
"Then I have to make sure that doesn't happen. You may leave." Kagome stood up.

"Wait." He called out. Again using unmatched speed he turned her around and kissed her softly. "I want this to become a common occurrence between us."

"Can I ask why?" She asked monotone.
"Because it is something I have come to enjoy sharing with you." Kagome would never admit to him in a billion years and under threat of death, that she enjoyed it too. The one thing she wanted he would never give.

"Have a…nice day." Kagome couldn't help it.

"What did you just say?" she said with a little laugh.
"Was it wrong?" He raised an eyebrow.

"No, I just thought for a moment that you were being…I dunno nice?"

"I'm no as heartless as my brother says I am."

"I don't listen to Inuyasha, you proved your a jerk."

"I hope I can change your opinion of me." He bowed slightly and walked away. Kagome heard a light sigh and turned around. Her 'lady-in-waiting' was behind her staring at Sesshomaru with big enamored eyes. She had made the soft sigh…at…Sesshomaru. Kagome felt as if there was a small monster was in her stomach, ready to jump and grab the girls face. What was this feeling? Was this jealousy? Was she jealous that this girl was staring at Sesshomaru with google eyes.

She found out during the course of the day that it wasn't just one lady-in-waiting, it was all of them! During the course of the day when he came around to check on her progress the girls who were 'helping' her turned to stare at him. She wished he hadn't come around during her fitting. The women would prick her with the bone needles, though she didn't know why. When her first Kimono was done she looked amazing. The cloth was midnight blue with a light pink obi. It fit her perfectly. She wondered how much it would have cost to buy something like this in her time. While she looked at the mirror she saw Sesshomaru come and stare at her.

"Spin Kagome."

Kagome annoying complied.

"You look beautiful." Kagome felt the heat of the women's glares. He turned and handed a small leather pouch to the main seamstress.

"I would like three more in the same size. The colors are in the bag. "Kagome-love." Kagome who had been looking at herself in the mirror stepped on her kimono and fell to the ground. She looked up to see Sesshomaru with his hand over his face obviously trying not to smile.

"Um…yeah?"

"What colors would you like for your next Kimono?" Kagome slowly picked herself up off the floor.

"Um. Red" She smirked and Sesshomaru looked at her uncertain of why she'd chosen it. "Like Inuyasha's outfit. And a brown Obi, like Kogas." Sesshomaru narrowed his gaze.

"Make it done." he said and turned to leave. The other women sensing his anger looked at the cause of it. Kagome wanted to curl into a corner and disappear. She desperately wanted to hurt him the way he'd hurt her…the way Inuyasha had hurt her. WAIT! Kagome's eyes widened. Where had that thought come from? Was she really punishing one brother for the others mistake? That wasn't fair, especially after Sesshomaru had fed her and bought her a really nice outfit. Had a really nice outfit made! She corrected herself. Was she really such a bitch? No wonder Inuyasha didn't want her. What was the point of falling for Sesshomaru if he would just break her heart in the end. Kagome sank to the ground, wrinkling her Kimono.

"Are you alright mi'lady?"

"I'm not your lady."

"But Mi'lord dotes on you. You must be our lady."

"What's your name?"

"Sakura."

"Tell me, why do you look at Sesshomaru the way you do?" She blushed.

"He is…very kind…and very handsome." Her blush depended. "But you know all this already right mi'lady?"

"No." she whispered shaking her head sadly. Sakura patted her leg.

"You have a position that is much higher than any women could ever dream of. You are the future lady of the western lands. You have the heart of a very sought after demon. What troubles you?"

"I don't have his heart. I want to go home."

"Trust me mi'lady. It'll get better, just you see." Kagome hoped so, she really did.
