Kagome smiled, It felt so right to be in his arms, wait, Sesshomaru is a great lord, she would never have a chance with him. She quickly pulled away a blush tainting her normally flawless face. Sesshomaru reluctantly let go immediately missing her warmth.

"Demoness, Why is it that you respect me so greatly?" Sesshomaru asked his face falling in to his stoic mask. Kagome did not ponder the question, she merely stated,

"Lord Sesshomaru you are a higher level demon as well as a lord, and i am but a mixed blood demon not worthy of your attention." Sesshomaru wondered where the affectionate young woman that had spoken to him moments ago had gone, and why was he left with this weakling?

"This Sesshomaru is leaving." He stated and began to walk away fro the second time this evening. Kagome did nothing to stop him though her heart yearned for her to stop the gorgeous demon that was walking away from her.

Kagome didn't know what was wrong with her, she couldn't decide who to be, her self, or the weak demon that she was raised as? She couldn't decide but she didn't want to risk angering Sesshomaru. But as the demon lord walked away her decision was made.

"My names Kagome." She called, her voice reaching out to the youki male in front of her.

"I know your name demoness." Kagome blanched how did he know her name? Well at least he stopped walking right?

"I am sorry to have angered you, My lord." She said sitting by the water again dipping her feet in the cool substance. She stared at her reflection in the water as she stared she saw the reflection of Lord Sesshomaru appear next to her, but as she stared Sesshomaru changed into Inuyasha. She flinched as she saw His hand come up to his her, she grabbed her shoulder where the wound from earlier was. She whimpered as Inuyasha got closer. Her eyes met his eyes in the water and Kagome cried out in fear when his eyes began to bleed red. Then Sesshomaru placed his hand on the demoness' shoulder the calming motion snapped Kagome out of her trance as she winced and Sesshomaru's hand reopened the wound on her back. Sesshomaru's hand came back covered in blood. In mere seconds the back of the beautiful kimono was ruined.

"Demoness, what happened. Did the half breed do this to you." It was a statement not a question and he knew the answer as soon as she paled. He pulled Kagome to her feet.

"We are leaving, My brother is not fit to take care of you so until he is, you shall be under my care." Kagome's heart began to pound, she would be living in Sesshomaru's castle.

"What if i don't want to?" She asked. She regretted the question as soon as it left her lips but she held her ground. Sesshomaru began to grow angry but quickly decided upon what action to take.

"Than you will fight me." He stated blandly shifting into a fighting stance. Kagome once again blanched but she warily stepped into a fighting stance as well.

Suddenly Sesshomaru lunged at Kagome who dodged and Kicked out with her leg coming in contact with his arm. Sesshomaru looked shocked, the fact that she had even dodged him, let alone kicked him was amazing. Quickly he reached out in attempt to grab her foot but was hit in the side by her claws. After a while Sesshomaru tired of fooling around with Kagome and quickly tried to hit her, missing he smirked and grabbed her around the waist and dropped her to the ground pinning her underneath him. Kagome Squirmed trying to get away from the lord but she knew it was a lost cause.

"I win." he said looking down into her blue gray eyes. Kagome sighed and moved to push him off her, but he growled at her. She paled slightly. Sesshomaru laughed, a wonderful masculine sound, and breathed in deeply taking in her scent. "Demoness why do you fear me?" He whispered in her ear words that made her heart sink in guilt.

"It is not you i fear it is your brother." She said.

"Why do you bring him into this?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Because he is here." She replied.

Sesshomaru jumped up, his thoughts zeroed in on the pissed off hanyou standing in front of him. Inuyasha cracked his knuckles and growled,

"Keep your hands off what is mine Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru merely smirked an idea forming in his mind.

"Kagome is her own person so she shall choose who she goes with." Inuyasha laughed already knowing who Kagome would choose.

"Fine, Choose Kagome, Me or Sesshomaru?" Kagome Never faltered standing and walking towards Inuyasha. Sesshomaru's face hardened in to his normal mask. Kagome Felt horrible for what she was doing to Sesshomaru but she had to do this.

"Ha! She chose me Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha said proudly. Kagome just smiled at Sesshomaru over her shoulder. She looked at Inuyasha and her smile turned to a smirk. She kicked Inuyasha,hard, in the one place that is every males weakness. Inuyasha's smirk disappeared and he doubled over holding his crotch. Kagome walked towards Sesshomaru and wrapped her arms around his neck,

"I'm sorry Sesshomaru." She said as Sesshomaru formed his cloud and they began to fly away. Sesshomaru looked down at the beautiful Demon in his arms and asked,

"For what?" Kagome looked into his eyes,

"For forcing you to believe that I was going with Inuyasha. It was unfair to you." She said laying her head on his shoulder.(A/n Kagome is just tall enough to place her head comfortably in the crook of his neck. If you don't understand message me and I'll try to help you.) Sesshomaru pulled her closed to him relishing in her presence. He said nothing but placed his chin on her head. They flew like that the whole way to the castle of the western lands.

"Lord Sesshomaru?"Kagome asked, suppressing a yawn. "I'm tired, May i sleep, Dozo Sesshomaru-sama?" Sesshomaru merely scooped her up in his arms bridal style. "You are my equal, in power, and rank, the two marks on your cheeks prove that, hence there is no need for you to call me lord, nor sama." Kagome nodded soon fell asleep in the arms of the lord a smile on her lips.

Soon after they arrived, and Sesshomaru was reluctant to wake the sleeping goddess. He was spared the trouble by the annoying toad, Jaken who came out of the castle screeching,

"My lord, what sort of horrendous creature is that? I hope you are going to dispose of it!"

"nhhhmmm?" Kagome asked as she woke up, she looked up to see the amber eyes, and silver hair of the one and only, "Inuyasha!?" she screeched pushing poor Sesshomaru away from her and doing a back hand spring to be sure she was far enough away. She realized her huge mistake, but not before Sesshomaru was behind her, his arms wrapped around her upper body pinning her arms to her sides. She took a deep breath and felt her lungs fill with the intoxication scent of Sesshomaru. "Gomen Sesshomaru." She said blushing at their audience. Sesshomaru nodded and breathed in her scent his arms moving slowly down to her waist releasing her arms.

"Lord Sesshomaru!! Why have you not punished the wench for not calling you by your proper title?!" Sesshomaru let go of Kagome and walked over to Jaken And began to kick him along until they were out of Kagome's hearing range.

"Jaken I am courting Lady Kagome And I expect you to treat her as the lady of the western lands, Do you understand?" Jaken nodded bleakly and mumbled things about her being unworthy of Sesshomaru. "Jaken ,This Sesshomaru will not have a mate that is a lower level demon, she is of equal rank to me." Jaken blanched,

"Sorry my lord." He said and rushed away. Sesshomaru walked back to Kagome, who was rubbing the sleep from her eyes, minding her claws as she had them all her life. Sesshomaru held out his hand for Kagome who took it and they walked into the castle.

"Let's get you some new clothes?" Sesshomaru asked. Kagome nodded gratefully. They went in to(the conveniently placed) place tailor, And had Kagome fitted. The Tailor set out immediately to get fabric of all types and colors and began to work.

Sesshomaru walked Kagome to the indoor hot springs and ordered a servant to get her anything she asked. Kagome sighed as she undressed and slipped into the hot springs. Kagome felt the heat loosen her muscles and wash away the blood on her back, She was left alone to ponder what ever she wanted, for example Sesshomaru. 'Why is he helping me? And he is not shy about holding me in his arms? But does he like me? No of course not why would he like a lower level demon like me? He doesn't that's the point.

What's not to like? And your of equal power remember?He likes you! You know it and i know it! But he doesn't know if you like him! You have to tell him!

No! I can't Tell him! He doesn't even like Me!

Yes He DOES!

What ever!' Kagome sighed, Great she was arguing with her self. Kagome sigh and reluctantly climbed out of the spring. She stepped out and grabbed the first dry fluffy thing she saw. Okay okay I know what everyone's thinking Sesshomaru's tail but it was a fluffy white towel. She wrapped it around herself and opened a souji door in search of the servant who was assigned to her. She peeked her head in to find a Very wet Sesshomaru pulling his head from underneath the steamy water.

"Eep!" She pulled her head back and began to close the door.

"Kagome? Is that you?" Sesshomaru called to her. Kagome stuck her head back in eyes closed and nodded her head making sure her towel warped body stayed hidden. Sesshomaru looker at her, and decided to toy with her,

"Kagome would you join me in the springs?" He asked innocently knowing she wouldn't deny him. Kagome blushed stepping out from behind the door. She looked at him and blushed again. She blushingly asked him to turn around. He nodded and turned away from her and she quickly dropped her towel and got in the water. Sesshomaru smirked, "Hows your back? Shall i look at it?" He asked moving towards her. Kagome nodded stepping slightly out of the water till her upper back was exposed, she crossed her arms covering her breasts. Sesshomaru frowned, she really didn't remember? He ran his fingers over the bare flesh of her back.

"Sesshomaru, i think..." she cut off as she felt his lips on her neck. "Sesshomaru?" she asked shivering as his warm breath tickled her neck.

"Do you remember?" he asked Kagome turned to face him her eyes filled with pain. She nodded slowly. Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. Sesshomaru smiled breathing in her scent. He placed his mouth next to her ear.

"Welcome back, My love."
