Hello everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've written anything for you guys but I've been away from the computer since I'm such a lame ass and continually forget that the internet is something I have axcess to. That and I've been working since I -finally- got a job. I work 3rd shift most of the time though sometimes they bump me randomly to 1st or 2nd.

Anyway, I think it's about time that I wrote something again, since I've been slacking and I really need to stop that. Hee hee, I'm working on becoming more steady with this stuff.

I went back and tallied all of the votes annnnddddddd with the votes that I got in my inbox as well as the reviews the votes were as follows:

Inuyasha-2

Shessomaru-7

Koga-1 [poor Koga...]

Miroku-6

Naraku-2

So it looks like it's going to be a Shessomaru story, sorry Miroku fans, I'm going to work on a Miroku/Kagome story sometime in the near future I think. Simply because it needs to be done, there are not nearly enough of those :3 Here we go onwards with the story.

'Thoughts' "Speaking" Beast speaking Beast speaking in their mind

She blinked and licked her lips before clearing her throat and speaking to him, "Hello Shessomaru-sama..." Kagome's voice was soft as she tried to keep her composure, since at the moment she had no proof that he had seen her dance. Her blue eyes caught his golden ones, as a small smile came to her lips, she was always polite when they ran into each other.

One of Shessomaru's eyebrows rose slightly as he stared at the small female in front of him, her dance had intrigued him, since he had never seen even the yokai female's dance in such a way. "Miko..." He acknowledged the female by her title, not complaining that her eyes were locked on his as he took a step forward. "What are you doing here alone?" Sesshomaru inquired as his right hand making a sweeping motion of the small clearing the were standing in, it wasn't often that he would find the little Miko on her own, she was normally surrounded by her friends and his half brother.

Kagome shrugged a little as she turned slowly motioning towards her books sitting on the ground. "I had been studying Sesshomaru-sama... I study better when I am alone for a period of time...Inuyasha is to loud for me to study..." With a smile on her lips she turned back to face Sesshomaru, feeling as if she was out of the danger zone, there was no way he had seen her dance especially since he hadn't commented on it.

Sesshomaru's head tilted to the left as he watched the strange Miko "You can read Miko? Seems strange for a human... a female at that". She laughed softly as he tilted his head, not being able to help herself and mentally comparing him to his canine counterpart, all he was missing was the ears. Kagomes smile was still firmly in place when she nodded at his words "Yes Sesshomaru-sama, I am able to read. I can write as well." She was very matter of fact when she spoke her hands folding behind her back as she looked up at him.

Sesshomaru was impressed with the Miko, he had not known that humans spent any time teaching their young, especially their females, such things as reading and writing. "You are learned, but yet you dress like a harlot..." his voice was hard as he spoke, he respected this human female, however he would not admit it when she dressed the way she did, or danced as she did. Those were things that only the females mate should be privy to. Sesshomaru watched the smile fade from the girls lips as she registered what he said. "Females where I come from Sesshomaru-sama all wear the same thing as I am now. It is called a uniform, and it ensures that no one is judged by how they are dressed, as in what clothing they can or cannot afford..." Kagome was short with her words as she addressed him this time. She felt insulted by his accusation of her dressing like a harlot. She bowed to the Demon Lord "if you'll excuse me Sesshomaru-sama... I am going to gather my books and rejoin my group..."

As she turned to walk towards her things Sesshomaru's spoke. "Do they also teach you to dance as provocatively as you do little Miko?" The words made Kagome freeze in her tracks terror running through her as she processed his words. Kagome shivered lightly and ducked her head a little as fear crept into her. 'he saw... he saw me dancing.. oh no...oh no...' she remained frozen in place, unable to respond to him. A small smirk played on Sesshomaru's lips as he smelled the Miko's fear, 'it appears that the Miko did not want anyone to see her dance, and now she's afraid. I wonder...' Sesshomaru took a few steps towards the little Miko. "Is something wrong little Miko, you smell of fear..." He lowered his voice as he came up behind her.

Kagome was still frozen in place, still not sure how to respond to the Demon Lord, she was completely unsure as to what he would want from her. She closed her eyes as she felt him come closer to her and took a deep breath knowing that what she was about to say was most likely not going to help the situation any but it was worth a shot in her mind, she had nothing else she could do. "I don't know what your talking about Sesshomaru-sama...". Kagome's voice was barely above a whisper as she spoke but she knew that he would hear her. Sesshomaru smirked a little more at her words knowing that she was floundering, he took one more step and stood right behind her bending at the waist ever so slightly so that his mouth was right next to the Miko's ear. "I think you know exactly what I am talking about little Miko... Who were you dancing for hmm?" he trailed off as he lifted his clawed hand and ran a single claw down the side of her cheek. "Did you know I was watching little Miko? Were you dancing for me?" His words were punctuated with a low playful growl.

Kagome shivered again and blushed lightly as Sesshomaru spoke into her ear, even when he ran a claw down her cheek she remained frozen in her spot her eyes opening as she stared straight ahead her cheeks tinted pink, her breathing increasing slightly. "N..no Sesshomaru-sama... I... I didn't know anyone was watching..." she stuttered as she spoke, having the demon lord so close to her was un-nerving but exciting at the same time, she wasn't sure why it was exciting her but it was in a way. The smirk remained on the normally emotionless Demon Lords face as he ran his claw down Kagome's neck following the path that her hand had followed earlier when she was dancing. He felt the shiver run through her smaller form, and moved his hand to fist it in her hair as she had also done earlier. A more aggressive growl slid out of his mouth which he kept by her ear as he tugged gently on her hair, but just enough. She gasped softly and closed her eyes again her head tilting back some as she shivered harder. Her mouth opened and she licked her lips shifting her eyes back some to try and look at him.

"S..Sessh...oma...ru-sa..ma...?" She whined softly as she remained in his grasp, she was confused as to what was happening and why it was happening. Sesshomaru growled again, wondering if it would make the small Miko shiver in his grasp again. She had always intrigued him, being so different from all the others in her small group, and different from all the others he had ever met. "Yes.. Little Miko?" he tightened his hold in her hair and pulled her head back a little, growling softly at how submissive the normally fiery Miko was. Kagome whimpered softly and closed her mouth biting her bottom lip as she waiting for him to stop teasing her "What... do you want from me...?" She whined softly trying not to move since each breath she took tightened his hold on her hair.

Sesshomaru licked the shell of her ear, knowing that it would unsettle the girl, and growled taking the bottom part of her ear lobe in his teeth tugging gently as he heard her gasp once more. "This Sesshomaru, wants nothing from you." he slowly let go of Kagome and took a step back his claws running through her hair as he pulled away. Kagome turned and face the Demon Lord her cheeks still tinted pink as she watched him open mouthed not trusting that he didn't want anything from her after what he just did. After a moment of watching him she turned once more and walked to her books, picking them up one by one with the intent of going back to her group. Sesshomaru hadn't said anything while she was gathering her books so she assumed that she was no longer of interest to him. She sighed and was about to leave the small clearing when Sesshomaru spoke again "Little Miko, will you dance for this Sesshomaru again?" She turned to look at the Demon Lord and stared at him in disbelief 'did... did he really just ask... me to dance for him again...'

Kagome shifted from foot to foot and chewed her bottom lip a little as she thought about his words, "Why are you asking me Sesshomaru-sama? You can't have enjoyed it Sesshomaru-sama... I am after all, only a human..." She looked down at the ground and kicked a rock. Sesshomaru used his demon speed to run up to Kagome and grab her chin making her look at him, "You will dance for this Sesshomaru again, little Miko." With that said the demon lord let go of her chin and walked away from her, leaving her stunned by his words. She had nothing to say after that, she knew how he worked for the most part, the Demon Lord always got what he wanted one way or another.

With a sigh Kagome turned from the clearing and started walking back to her group as well mumbling softly before exiting the clearing "yes Sesshomaru-sama..." She was unsure if he was able to hear her or not but she felt the need to respond to him with the only thing that he would accept. 'why did I have to dance today... why did he have to see it? Why does he want me to dance for him again...' She grumbled for a few minutes, as she walked approaching her group, she saw the start of a fire at the site that they had picked for camping this evening. Another small sigh slipped out from between her lips as she reached the rag tag group, Sango and Miroku both looked up at her and smiled. She was like their little sister and she knew that's how they both saw her, Miroku had even stopped asking her to have his children and he also no longer grabbed her butt. Sango on the other hand was always being grabbed by the perverted monk, he had purposed to her multiple times, she thought he was joking but everyone else in the group knew that the monk was serious.

Kagome glanced away from the two who were currently having a deep conversation about how best to approach Naraku, and why Miroku thought Sango should stay behind him when they did, which of course the demon slayer was not happy with. She turned her blue eyes to her sleeping bag which had been pulled from her yellow back pack and laid on the ground, there was a small lump in the sleeping bag. Kagome knew that the lump in her sleeping bag was her adopted son, Shippo the small fox demon rolled over in his sleep, he had been sick the past week and was sleeping a lot. Kagome walked to her yellow back pack and put her books inside the bag, she yawned softly seeing Shippo sleeping had made her a little sleepy, she envied the small boy his ability to fall asleep almost anywhere at anytime.

There was one person Kagome had forgotten about, she hadn't technically forgotten about him, but she forgot that he was a half demon and he would be able to smell Sesshomaru on her even though he hadn't touched her for long. She knew that Shippo wouldn't say anything, he trusted his mother and as long as she was not hurt, he was willing to keep his mouth shut. Inuyasha dropped down from the tree that he was sitting in, and landed right in front of Kagome. "Why do you smell like that Bastard?" He growled right in Kagome's face, she blinked and looked up at him, wishing she had remembered that he would have picked up the smell of his brother on her. "He stopped and saw me while I was studying... that's all Inuyasha... why?" Her voice was soft and she tilted her head just so, making her look more innocent then she really was. "What did he want?" The half breed was pissed, how could she take his brother stopping to see her so carefree. Kagome Shrugged and tilted her head some " He was curious about me studying, he said it's not common to see a female in this time read or write." She told as much of the truth as she could. There was no way she was telling Inuyasha that his brother had seen her dance, and there was also no way that there was no way she was telling him that his brother had pretty much demanded that she dance for him again.

Inuyasha feh'd and jumped into his tree again grumbling about her being a trusting troublesome wench. Kagome smiled shaking her head and making her way to her bag once more and grabbing the ramen, she just wanted to make something quick and simple to eat for everyone before she went to bed. As she cooked she thought about everything that had happened, with Sesshomaru, and her studying. Not that she had actually remembered that much of her studying. A smile played on her lips as she thought about everything that had happened. Wondering if she should pick out a song before hand or just go with it. She shook her head as she started to boil water over the fire 'well I suppose I'll just have to wait and see when Sesshomaru-sama wants me to dance for him again...'

Alright I'm all done with this chapter :3 feel free to message me with any questions or suggestions on anything for the story. I'm open to taking suggestions for songs that Kagome can dance to for Sesshomaru.

With that said I am going to take off for a little while, Take care readers!
