One night, when Sesshomaru is out patrolling his lands, a witch disguised as a demoness tries to seduce him. He refuses her advances for fear of following in his father's footsteps and leaves her on the forest floor, half dead. Scorned and angry, the witch curses Sesshomaru and erases all of his memories except for one: Kagome.

...

What is Love
Revenge

Sesshomaru woke to the musky scent of another male. Another male that was coming close to his Kagome and he didn't like that one bit. In a flash, Sesshomaru was crouched over Kagome, growling at the male that dared to come close to her. The male stopped short, his eyes narrowed and confused. He was a hanyou. He had silver hair and puppy ears that protruded from the top of his head and honey coloured eyes. Sesshomaru did not know who this male was and he would not let Kagome get hurt.

"Stay back, Hanyou!" Sesshomaru growled.

"What the fuck Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest, knowing that moving closer would only irritate the older Inu.

"Sesshomaru?" came Kagome's sleepy voice, "What's going on?"

Sesshomaru watched as Kagome sat up and her eyes lit up when she saw Inuyasha, a brilliant smile liting up her face. Then, as soon as it was there, it was gone. She frowned slightly and her eyes became sad. How dare this hanyou hurt Kagome! His growling increased in volume and Kagome had to stand and put her hands on Sesshomaru's shoulder. She forced him to look at her and then she touched his face lightly, smiling at him.

"Sesshomaru, this is your younger half-brother, Inuyasha," Kagome said softly.

"Half-brother?" Sesshomaru's eyes coloured with confusion as he looked between Kagome and Inuyasha, "I have no such memories of an Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's mouth dropped, "What's he going on about Kagome?"

"I went for a walk last night," Kagome glanced sideways at Inuyasha, "Sesshomaru found me and he told me how he has no memories except for the ones he already had of me."

"He only remembers you?" Inuyasha growled, "Why you?"

Kagome sighed, "I don't know Inuyasha but I'm going to take him to his castle to see what I can figure out. You guys should probably come too. Sesshomaru will need someone to run his lands while he's incapacitated."

"My lands?" Sesshomaru's brow furrowed.

"Yes. You are Daiyoukai of the Western Lands," Inuyasha said, "Man he really doesn't remember anything!"

By this time the rest of the gang had woken up and they were staring at Sesshomaru like he had grown a second head. Sesshomaru lost his memories? He had to have, otherwise Kagome's hand probably would've been ripped off for touching the Daiyoukai's face. She should be more careful with that. Kagome turned back to Sesshomaru and gave him a reassuring smile and introduced him to the rest of her friends. The kitsune, Shippou, who Kagome viewed as a son. Miroku, the monk. Sango and Kohaku, the Taijiyas, and Kirara the neko youkai. What an odd group they were. Sesshomaru watched Kagome as she began to pack camp and make breakfast for the group. The food she cooked was actually rather good and Sesshomaru would have to ask her to cook more for him once they got to his castle. He still couldn't believe he had a castle.

"Okaa-san!" Shippou's voice rang over the clearing.

"Yes my love?" Kagome smiled softly at him and scooped him into her arms.

"Does this mean that we're going to see Rin, too?" he asked enthusiastically.

"I'm sure Rin is at the castle," Kagome said, setting him on the ground.

"Who is Rin?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Oh... Rin is your ward," Kagome moved to pick up her yellow bag, "She is very fond of you and I'm sure she'll be glad that you're safe. She's only a child of course."

"Hn..."

There was so much that he didn't know. The only thing he knew was Kagome. Her scent, her looks, their secret talks, the glances she snuck him when she didn't think he was looking. The time she restored his arm to him, although he didn't know how he had lost it in the first place, the way she had cared for him after a big battle, the way that he had saved her on numerous occasions when the male that was supposed to be protecting her was too busy with something else and all the times he tried to kill her. A shudder went through his body. He could never kill Kagome, not now. She was too... important to him. He would have to ask Kagome about the memories he had of him trying to kill her at a later time. Camp was packed and they were moving. When he saw her laughing and playing with Shippou while she walked, he swore that he would do whatever it took to protect her. Whether she was human or youkai, Kagome was his and no one else could have her. His beast seemed satisfied with this thought and he followed behind the gang, keeping close to Kagome.

The group had been walking for days now and every night they would set up camp and sometimes they would find a demon with what Kagome called a 'shard of the shikon no tama'. It made lower demons who found them become more powerful and Kagome had told him that once the Shikon was complete that a wish could be made on it, but only by someone pure. Sesshomaru knew he was far from pure and he needed no extra power so the Jewel was of no use to him and he had no desire for it. Unlike his half-brother who would watch Kagome with a look of longing on his face as she retrived a shard from the body of a dead youkai and purify it, adding it to the rest of the jewel. It was dangerous for her to be around the Hanyou, he decided. The first time Inuyasha had tried to carry Kagome, he ended up with Sesshomaru's hand around his throat and then Kagome had been in Sesshomaru's arms. Kagome had blushed and stuttered saying she didn't need to be carried but Sesshomaru could see how tired she was and he wasn't going to let the Hanyou touch her. After almost a week, Sesshomaru's castle came into view. Even he was awed by the sight.

"After all these years, Sesshomaru," Kagome whispered, "And this is still the first time I'm seeing your home."

Sesshomaru only glanced at her. The castle was at least ten stories high and made of stone. Vines crawled up the sides and the spiraling towers were adorned with granite statues of Inu demons with blood red eyes. There was a path that lead up to the black iron gates and two guards stood on either side. One was a hawk demon, with auburn hair to his shoulders and large yellow eyes that seemed to bore into him. The other was a wolf demon, she had black hair and piercing ice blue eyes. They both wore black armor with a blue and white haori underneath. In greeting, they put their right fist over their hearts and bowed low to Sesshomaru.

"Welcome back, Sesshomaru-dono," they said in unison, "We have been worried about you."

"What are your names?" Sesshomaru asked.

The hawk and wolf's eyes widened momentarily and Kagome caught there confusion, it was obvious that these two youkai had expected Sesshomaru to remember their names.

"I am Kinwai," the Hawk said, "And this is Akita. Are you ill, Sesshomaru-dono?"

"This Sesshomaru can recall no memories except for those of the miko, Kagome," Sesshomaru's voice was calm but Kagome could detect the underlying fear in his voice.

Akita's eyes fell on Kagome and she smiled, "Ah, yes. The miko Rin is always babbling about. What is your consul, Kagome-san? How can we help our lord?"

"I'm not sure," Kagome's brow creased as she thought, "It would be in the West's best interest if Inuyasha was to take over as Lord temporarily until Sesshomaru regains his memories. I recall Sesshomaru telling me about his first in command a few times, Taki-san, perhaps he can help Inuyasha?"

"An excellent idea, my lady!" Kinwai beamed at her, "I'll fetch him for you."

Kinwai then turned on his heel and sprinted through the gates towards the castle. Kagome could feel the slight tremble in Sesshomaru's body and she took his hand and squeezed it softly. Sesshomaru looked down at their intertwined fingers with a startled expression but he covered it before the others could see. He didn't want them to see that he liked it when the human miko touched his person in such an intimate way. Kinwai returned a few minutes later with golden Inu youkai. His hair was gold, unlike the silver of Sesshomaru's and his eyes were a captivating sea green. He wore no markings on his face other than a single red stripe on each of his cheeks and a blue crescent moon over his left cheekbone. His face was smooth and flawless with tanned skin. Kagome thought he was rather handsome. He flashed the gang a brilliant smile, showing off his pearly white fangs.

"Inuyasha! You return to the castle at last!" Taki put an arm around Inuyasha's shoulder, "I was wondering when you would return."

"Keh," Inuyasha shrugged but didn't move to shake Taki's arm from around his shoulders, "Are you gonna help me out or not?"

"Of course, of course!" Taki began to pull Inuyasha inside the gates and motioning for everyone else to do the same, "Come. I'll show you to your rooms!"

Sesshomaru, Shippou and Kagome followed behind Taki and Inuyasha and Sango, Miroku, Kohaku and Kirara came last. Once the gates were shut and they were far enough away, Kinwai turned to Akita, his eyes sparkling and his mouth curved into a smile.

"The miko will make a very good mate for our Lord," Kinwai said.

"Yes!" Akita agreed, "He has chosen well, even if he may not realize it yet."

...

Striking green eyes snapped open and a petite woman sat up, gasping. Her pale skin seemed even paler in the fire light and her hands shook uncontrollably. She didn't remember how she got here and she didn't even know where here was. She looked around at her surroundings and found herself in her own home in her own bedroom. The last thing she could remember was that she had cursed Sesshomaru... Sesshomaru! She had succeeded at the first part of their plan. Sesshomaru had no memories of anything other than Kagome and if everything went well then everything would slowly fall into place. She heard footsteps outside her door and her head whipped around to watch as her door opened and a handsome bear youkai walked into the room. He was at least seven feet tall, with broad, muscled shoulders and flawless brown skin. His dark brown hair was cut short and his black eyes stared at the petite woman with relief.

"Fumiko," he breathed, "I'm so glad you're alright."

The small woman smiled at the bear youkai and slid off the bed, jumping into the bear's arms, "Oh Soku, my mate, do no fret. I'm fine and well."

"That may be now but Sesshomaru put you on the brink of death!" Soku fumed.

"But I am here now," Fumiko purred and caressed his face, "And the first part of your plan is complete darling and everything after that should fall into place. Then you will have your revenge that you so desire."
