Ok people NOW things are going to change from the original story. Like I said, I hope you like it, if not it can't be helped because I'm not changing it back, I lost inspiration of sorts and found new hope while reading through it. I get tired of seeing Kagome as a weak willed person and I'm just as guilty as everyone else about writing her that way.

Kagome's Change

She opened the door and started climbing out when she felt an arm wrap around her waist and felt herself slammed against the truck. The person had slammed her so hard it knocked the wind out of her and she gasped as they held her hands above her head and used their body to keep her pressed against the truck. As she caught her breath she opened her eyes and her face went pale when she saw that Inuyasha's half brother, Sesshoumaru, was the one pinning her to the truck.

"What are you doing?" he asked without much interest.

"Giving that stupid, worthless, lying brother of yours what he deserves," she hissed at him. She had to fight back tears, she didn't want to cry in front of him, she didn't want him see her weakness, but that's all she felt now and it didn't matter how hard she fought it the tears spilled from her eyes anyways. He stepped away and released her hands. "I was so stupid," she said bitterly, wiping at her tears. "I knew it was happening, I knew what he was doing and I just let him hurt me over and over. God, I really am an idiot."

He didn't know what to say he just let her cry. People were looking at them, but he didn't care, he wasn't the type to care what anyone thought of him. He put his arms around her and allowed her to keep crying. Her scent was intoxicating, she smelled of cherry blossoms and orchids.

"I'm obviously not worth his time, or he wouldn't have started seeing Kikyou again. I feel so worthless..."

He removed his arms and placed a finger under her chin lifting her head to look into her eyes. "These eyes," he said more to himself than to her. "These eyes were not made for tears, they were made for smiles." He brushed her hair out of her eyes and noticed the blood seeping from the gash in her forehead. She thought she saw something in his eyes, but it was gone and his expression was stoic. "You need to get this checked out, it looks to be pretty serious."

Kagome turned her head sharply to pull her chin out of his grasp and let her aura flare just enough to tell him to back off. "I'm fine, I can take care of it myself."

He stepped back and looked her up and down. She was not a very big person, but her spiritual power was a force to be reckoned with. "Miko, I only suggest that you come home with me so I can treat your wound. I am not implying that you cannot care for yourself."

Kagome looked at him, not even attempting to hide her distrust. "Yea right, you probably want to hand me over to your sleazy brother so he can get back at me for trashing his truck."

At this outrageous claim Sesshoumaru let out a cold laugh. "If you think I have my brothers best interests in mind then you are not as observant as I thought."

Kagome stopped and thought for a minute, it was true, the brothers were anything but close. She'd actually go so far as to call them mortal enemies. Inuyasha had always been talking about how he hated his brother and his brother hated him. He'd even said that Sesshoumaru had wanted to kill him but their father made him promise not to kill Inuyasha. Apparently when he dies it states in his will that if either brother causes the death of the other, directly or indirectly, that brother would lose his half of the estate. She wiped a bit of blood from her forehead and looked at the demon in front of her. "Ok... I'll go with you under one condition." Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow as if to say 'and that would be..' "You have to keep your dirty Takahashi hands to yourself."

Sesshoumaru chuckled to himself. He'd been called many things in his life, but dirty was a new one. "Do not fret miko, I do not mingle with humans. I merely want to help you since you have done such a good job destroying my brother's one true love," he said pointing at the truck.

"Yea sure," she responded as she followed him to his car, obviously not convinced. "You Takahashi boys have a real problem keeping your hands to yourself, I've heard what a player you are and I know from experience with Inubaka."

Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at her as he opened her car door. "Really? What kind of experience?"

Kagome gaped at him as he walked around the car and climbed into the driver's seat. "You, you PERV! It's not like that! Inuyasha and I never had sex, not that it's any of your business."

Such a shame, a body like that going to waste, Sesshoumaru thought as he drove toward the house he shared with his father, stepmother, and half brother. He shook the thought from his head. She is human, I will not lower myself to having such thoughts about a human. Although... she does look sexy in that outfit. She was wearing a black, fitted t-shirt with the word 'Naughty' in red on the front and a pair of hip hugging jeans. To top it all off she was wearing a very sexy pair of strappy black high heels. Stop, he told himself as he trained his eyes on the road ahead. This Sesshoumaru is above a lowly human.

"Ya know, for someone so willing to take me back to his place you're awfully quiet."

"Silence miko, this Sesshoumaru does not converse with humans."

"God, do you always sound like such a stuck-up prick?"

"Watch your tongue miko, I would hate to have to cut it out." Kagome looked at him to see any hint of a joke in his features and sat back quietly when she didn't. When they arrived she started to get out of the car but a hand on her arm stopped her. She watched as Sesshoumaru got out of the car and walked around to her door, opened it, and helped her out. She gave him an odd look and he shrugged. "My mother and father raised me to be chivalrous, even if the female does happen to be human."

Kagome gave him a dirty look and stomped to the front door. She started to open in but a growl from behind her told her to take her hand off the knob. She raised her hands up and stepped away from the door, waiting for him to open it for her. "Thank you," she mumbled as she walked inside. She slipped her shoes off and set them by the door before walking further into the house. "So where to?"

"My room, I have a first aid kit in the bathroom."

Kagome nodded and jogged up the steps. The door to his room was open so she walked in and plopped into his computer chair. She smiled as Sesshoumaru when he walked in. "I always wondered what your room looked like," she said looking at all the very expensive electronics.

"Do not touch anything," he bit out, closing his bedroom door and walking into his bathroom. Kagome stuck out her index finger and lightly touched the edge of his computer monitor. "I believe I told you not to touch anything miko, do not try my patience."

"Sorry, I couldn't resist."

Kagome couldn't contain a giggle as Sesshoumaru knelt down in front of her and opened the kit. "What do you find so amusing?"

"I always wondered what it would feel like to have people worship me and bow down before me, now I know."

"This Sesshoumaru bows before none. This is merely the best angle to treat your wound."

"There's this thing called a sense of humor... You should really use some of the money you put into these electronics and buy yourself one."

Sesshoumaru ignored her and grabbed a bottle of alcohol out of his kit. He put it on a cotton ball and looked at Kagome. "Get on the bed," he said forcefully.

"Sorry I don't put out on the first date."

"Stupid girl, there is more light on the bed then here in the chair, go sit on the bed so I can treat your wound and take you home."

Kagome sighed as she sat on the edge of his bed, which was surprisingly comfortable. She winced as Sesshoumaru pressed the cotton ball to her forehead. "OW! Could you be a bit more gentle?"

"You are being a baby."

"You are being an asshole." Kagome glared at him as he once again ignored her and cleaned up the excess alcohol with a dry cotton ball. He grabbed a tube of Neosporin and put a little on the wound then placed a large bandage over it.

He grabbed her chin gently and admired his handy work, one could barely tell there was even a bandage there. His eyes wandered to hers and when they met something came over both of them. Before he realized what he was doing his mouth was pressed against hers. For a moment she sat there stunned but then closed her eyes and kissed him back. He bit her lip softly, asking for entrance and she opened her mouth slightly. A skilled hand ran up her thigh and rested on her hip. He pulled his lips away from hers and saw a hunger in her eyes, begging for more. He bit and kissed her neck and collarbone greedily as he pushed her back onto the bed and climbed on top of her.

A door slamming downstairs caused both of them to stop and look in the direction of the interruption. The sound of feet storming up the steps was followed by a banging on the bedroom door. "Sesshoumaru you bastard, I know you're in there, open the goddamn door!"

Sesshoumaru got up and walked over to the door, opening it only enough to speak and blocking the gap with his body. "Can I help you little brother?"

"Yea tell me where that bitch had you drop her off!"

Sesshoumaru shrugged. "I have no idea who you are talking about."

"Don't play dumb with me Sesshoumaru, I know she left with you! Now just tell me where the hell you dropped her off at!"

"Do not try my patience half-breed. I may not be allowed to kill you but I can torture you in oh so many ways."

"Inuyasha, please calm down," Kikyou said from behind him. "Perhaps your brother is telling the truth."

"Feh, whatever, I just better not find out your hiding her or I'll--"

"You will what little brother? You could never beat me and you know it."

Inuyasha glared at his half-brother for a second then turned and walked away. Sesshoumaru closed his door and turned around to find his little toy no where to be found and his window wide open. Clever little miko.Read and review... pretty please?
