Kagya slowly woke to a particularly loud voice at the highest volumes.

"Sesshomaru! What the hell are you thinking, taking in one of Naraku's incarnations!?"

Kagya's brows had furrowed at Naraku's name and only after giving a soft groan, she snuggled closer to the warm fur and tried to go back to sleep…but…an explosive blast sounded from somewhere in the background.

Heaving a sigh, she opened her gentle brown eyes with the annoying feeling that any more sleep wasn't going to be an open option at the moment and with a yawn, she stretched her limbs as far as they would go before curling a small amount of time and finally sat herself up. Glancing down, she blushed once she realized that her only cover was Lord Sesshomaru's fur boa and quickly replaced the boa with the silken red and white haori. Once the black cloth was tied around her waist again, she noticed that it was suddenly very…quiet…

Slowly tuning her head, she found herself facing not one, but two pairs of golden eyes and swallowed a lump in her throat. Apprehensively turning from one to the other, she finally caught sight of the small traveling group standing back away from the destruction…and wondered in amazement at how she was able to actually sleep through all of that and was acutely aware of the stares directed at her, making the golden-haired beauty nervous.

Kagya took hold of the thick fur of the boa before standing and trying to walk, which she soon learned was a very bad idea…seeing as unexpected pain shot through her thighs, making her lose what balance she had. Feeling herself teeter dangerously, she quickly closed her eyes as she waited for the harsh impact on the ground…it just…never came…

…instead….

…an arm wrapped itself possessively around her waist from behind, sticking the furry boa between the arm and her body. Without difficulty the said arm pulled her to a another body ….with cold armor…

Blinking rapidly with confusion, she tilted her head to look up at the demon lord.

"Ses-shomaru?" She breathed as if in a daze.

The Lord of the West averted his gaze, staring straight into her chocolate brown eyes which in turn made a light blush to caress her tanned cheeks as delicious shivers ran down her spine because his golden eyes seemed darker than normal.

With a nervous gulp, she moved her eyes away, praying that among his many abilities, telepathy wasn't one of them.

Distractedly, she asked "What's going on?"

"That's just what I want to know!"

Kagya let her attention go back to the other with golden eyes.

Yes, she had noticed the small resemblance from him towards Sesshomaru. Their eyes were obviously a dead giveaway, along with the hair, but other than that he was completely different from her lord.

Or was it her Sesshomaru?

Or her…

"What in the hell is wrong with you?! Answer me!" the one similar to the demon lord shouted, startling the golden- haired female.

Kagya hadn't been paying any attention and so slightly jumped when the loud voice yelled out again. She blushed again; Sesshomaru chuckled deeply at her. Shifting from one foot to the other, her new posture allowed his hand to slid a bit lower down her body, making her blush to darken two shades as she clutched the boa ever more tightly to herself.

"Dammit! Answer me, already!"

"Now why would I do that, Little Brother?" The pureblood dog demon questioned with a humored smirk in place.

Kagya had the sudden feeling that he had said that on purpose and couldn't help noticing his out-of-place behavior…that is…his abrupt good humor.

"Little…brother…" She softly repeated without her realizing it.

The smirk that was already in place on his handsome face widened considerably and her stated "Inuyasha is my younger half-breed of a brother."

"Which I resent !" The other golden-eyed male half-yelled, half-hissed.

"I could be wrong, but aren't we straying off subject?" The oddest monk asked of the others.

"Miroku's right, Inuyasha." A female demon slayer agreed.

"Oh, sure! Blame me!" Hybrid indignantly folded his arms after sheathing a rather large sword.

During the short exchange, Kagya found herself. "getting used to the cold armor lightly digging into her back which allowed her to relax only slightly. She kept a firm grip on the boa, though.

"Sesshomaru," her soft voice reaching the dog demon's sensitive ears, even though her level was a mumble. "who are they?"

Silently her regarded her. Looking over everything from her ruffled, sleep-tousled hair to her tight hold of his demon fur and was smirking again. He smoothly answered "The young reincarnated miko being Ka-go-me. The other female is one of the last survivors of her village, her name Sango. The lecherous monk with the wind tunnel in his hand is known as Miroku. The fox pup is Shippo and then there's Kilala, a demon slayer's trusted demon."

Dumbfounded, the little traveling group stared at the man with widened eyes. They almost dropped what was in their hands due to their shock, since when did the Mighty Dog Demon, Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands know their names? And apparently their histories? Other than his brother, he didn't ever even give a hint that he knew about them!

The beautiful, innocent incarnation just blinked at them.

"Enough of this! Why did Naraku create you?!" Inuyasha yelled at her.

The female's eye ticked violently at the mention of that monster.

The demon lord felt her trembling beneath his fingers.

"Well?" The half-breed impatiently gritted out. "Do I have to beat it out of ya?"


"Uh, Inuyasha…" Kagome tried warning the half-breed man, sensing the dangerous aura emitting from the obviously pissed incarnation that was Kagya.

Straightening her back and shoulders, Kagya raised herself to her fullest while slowly lifting her head. Unbeknownst to her, her beautiful chocolate eyes flashed to an ominous pitch black.

"Don't…" She hissed, giving a withering glare to rival that of the man behind her "ever mention such again."

Gulping, poor little Shippo sought safety in the miko's rich dark hair, his creamy tan, fluffy tail shaking uncontrollably. Mirkoku and Sango retreated themselves a few steps back; warily watching this newest of Naraku's creations and readying themselves for defense. The demon fire cat transformed herself while Inuyasha, once again, unsheathed his famous Tetsusaiga.

Sesshomaru, curious, let go of the furious female.

A whispering voice reached deep into the corridors of Kagya's mind.

It said 'Do it. Kill them. Destroy them all!'

Upon approaching Inuyasha, Kagya's charcoal eyes widened as she abruptly halted in her steps.

'Do it!' The soft voice sounded again. And as if in a trance, Kagya spoke slowly, "No, I won't…" and her eyes returned to their original color. She harshly pressed the bottom's of her pale palms to her now closed eyelids and tossed her head back and forth, allowing the golden strands of her gorgeous golden hair to fly.

"If you want them dead, then do it yourself!" She spoke in that same eerie tone as before. Struggling, the female grabbed at her bangs as she continued, "I refuse to do anymore of your bidding! You don't own me!" she shouted out.

After she opened her pretty brown eyes again, Kagya cleared her mind just when her body slumped and she felt…so…ti…red….all…of…a….

Kagya was fast asleep.

Sesshomaru caught her before she fell, once again, then vanished from sight.

The little group of friends were perplexed, to say the least.

"Hey! Sesshomaru!! Get back here!!" Inuyasha yelled in outrage while brandishing his sword above his head for emphasis.

"SESSHOMARU!!"

But, of course, his ranting and raving went unheeded by his older brother, as usual.

0000000

Lord Sesshomaru found a secluded area not too far from where he had left his younger brother.

It was a small clearing in the thick forest.

Once he landed, he gently laid the female onto the fertile ground, her silken gold strands spread out, a bright color splattered against the green of the forest floor. Her head was turned to the one side; cheek pressed gently to her shoulder with her bruised lips barely parted.

Sesshomaru stared down at her and…for the first time in his long life, he swore he was looking upon a true goddess. Tenderly, he brushed stray strands away from her face and moved her bangs back with such gentleness that he had never showed anyone else, not even Rin. His elegant brows furrowed into a deep frown upon his smooth forehead. This…wasn't right. She was an incarnation, lowest of anything, bordering on despicable. Then there was the fact that she was Naraku's incarnation, as Inuyasha had so obviously and unnecessarily, pointed out and he was the lowest hybrid out there and that was saying a lot.

Pulling back to rest on the balls of his feet, Sesshomaru pondered all the more.

What was it about this woman that…made him desire her so?

She was an incarnation…almost everything he despised was mixed into her being…lower then even a half-breed..

"So…" He spoke out-loud, trying to figure this out, her out, and himself out.

Why did he relish in her intoxicating, addicting, scent? Why? When she smelt of…

All of a sudden, the lord's eyes widened.

Kagya groaned in her sleep, she brought her palms to her face for the second time that day, her elbows stretched out and with a yawn she curled onto her right side to snuggle against the boa. All the while muttering incoherently.

Sesshomaru kept his golden orbs locked on her, but his epiphany was still so fresh on his mind, in his thoughts, that he was so wrapped up in them and didn't even register her sitting up in front of him.

Blinking at the man before her in confusion, Kagya kneeled in front of the demon lord until she was face to face with him.

"Sesshomaru?"

The male in question blinked his eyes at her, takin aback as he seemed to come back to earth and seeing her…so…close…

His arm shot out to wrap about her slim waist to roughly pull her smaller body to his, making said female release a small surprised gasp as her face reddened, she stayed very still while he nuzzled her neck and did nothing more. Trembling at this unexpected and sudden gesture as well as the close contact, she softly asked. "Uhm…Se-Sesshomaru?"

He moved his face closer than it already was, taking in her delicate scent…her wonderful, heavenly warm scent, her addicting, alluring womanly scent…that…carried absolutely none of Naraku's.

Which then left the unanswered, puzzling question.

Inuyasha.

Inuyasha had smelt Naraku in Kagya's scent, but so had he…at first.

"Why?" He suddenly asked in what seemed to be a hoarse, raspy voice that aided the goddesses confusion.

"W-why what?" Her voice shaky.

Sesshomaru leaned back, Kagya blinked those chocolatey eyes at him.

Slowly, the demon lifted his fingers to her lightly curved chin, his brows still creasing.

"You smell nothing of him."

His statement made the female blink again, then she comprehended what he meant.

Her brows were the to frown this time and with darkened black orbs, she hissed "Isn't that a good thing?"

'Yes.'

"It makes no sense."

Looking at her hands, she uttered. "Maybe it has something to do with my transforming?"

When she locked her eyes with his, he noticed that there was something off about her , something not right.

Something

Her hair was caught in the light breeze.

Sesshomaru reached out to snag a few strands and saw that they were now black…Meeting her eyes, he saw them closed, squeezed shut. Upon her opening them, he watched the strands change back to the beautiful golden and stared at her in amazement.

Where had she learned to control her powers in so little a time?

Kagya tilted her head, much the same way that Rin did. She innocently blinked up at him, at his gaze filled with wanderment.

"Well?"

The demon lord shook his head vigorously back and forth.

With his mask back in place, he stood and gave her a calculating glance before offering his hand, which she took with a graceful smile on her gorgeous face.

okay, i know it's been awhile, so sorry!! this thing keeps messin up on me, so it may be...in weird font.
