It has been two years since you've left me, I still don't understand what it is you meant nor whom could make such a threat if the reason be true…. humans lie to escape' thought the young demon lord as he reread his love's last letter for the billionth time 'and it is from this betrayal that I have learned; humans, pathetic, beings. Only care for them selves and no one else'

"This Sesshomaru needs no one" he told himself as he left his chamber, tossing the scroll to the floor

"Lord Sesshomaru I have good news!" squeaked the annoying voice of Jaken "My lord I have come to tell you that the lord of the north has given up the war and that you are now its ruler!"

"What news is this to me?" Sesshomaru said coldly "I knew I would win, one way or another"

"Yes of course Ma'lord, as did I, our men have also returned and have brought with them a servant girl the north sent as a peace offering"

"Send her to work else where I needn't another servant"

"Hai Ma'lord, I have already done so but the wench refused to be sent away, saying she wanted to serve you Ma'lord and that she would not take no for an answer that she'd rather die than not been by your side"

Everything froze to Sesshomaru, his body, and the world around him.

'Those words……'

(Flash back)

A village a blaze, humans and demons alike running in every direction panicking, running for their lives as their lord Sesshomaru fought the terrible dragon lord of the east. The lord of the east had attacked with out warning early that day, and the fight still went on as the moon began to rise.

"Give it up you dirty beast!" roared the dragon lord "I am the one who will walk away from this alive and as the lord of both the east and the west!"

"Ha, who do you take me for?" Sesshomaru mocked

Suddenly a familiar voice came to his hears, screaming in fear.

'Kagome!'

Sesshomaru looked around quickly for the one woman he cared for. Only to find her in the claws of the dragon lord.

"Release her!" Sesshomaru snarled, his eyes glowing red, baring his teeth

"Sesshomaru!" Kagome screamed "Don't worry about me! Waste this demon and save your lands!"

"No not while there's a chance that you'd…."

"Snap out of it Sesshomaru! Do it now!" kagome ordered coldly "Your Lord Sesshomaru of the west the cold hearted son of the great dog demon himself! Now for the last time waste him!"

"Go on dog, he-he, destroy the human girl, or have you fallen in love with her? Are you planning to die just as your father did for his mortal love?"

"Sesshomaru!" kagome screamed once more

Raising his sword Sesshomaru obeyed her words and sent his strongest attack at the dragon. The earth tremble as his attack hit the other lord, nothing but the roar of the dragon, the rushing of the attack, and…her screams could be heard. Sesshomaru shook uncontrollably as he rushed forward as the attack faded away and all was still. His cold golden eyes were different at the moment filled with concern and sorrow as he dug threw the dragons flesh searching for her. At last he came upon her ferial form.

"Kagome, you should have stayed away from this Sesshomaru!" he growled sadly as he held her lifeless form in his arms "…kagome..."

"Never" spoke a voice so soft he barely noticed it

"Kagome I'm the cause of your pain" he told her "once you are fully healed I shall let you return to your time, and never bother you again"

"No I won't leave you; I'd rather die than not be by your side"

(End flash back)

"Ma'lord what troubles you?"

"Nothing the girl is to stay, give her what ever work there is needed to be done"

"Yes Ma'lord" Jaken said bowing "I will work the little wenches fingers to the bones Ma'lord!"

"Do no such thing!" Sesshomaru said coldly "I have decided if the wench wishes to serve under me and be by my side then so be it she shall be my personal slave to use however I see fit"

"But Ma'lord she is a mere human not fit to be by your side to serve you, allow me to find you a demon servant to use Ma'lord"

"Jaken are you questioning this Sesshomaru?"

"N-no Ma'lord"

"Good, have her washed and dress the girl properly, I will not have her by me if she is to look like trash"
