A/N: I don't own Inuyasha for the characters. The storyline is the only thing I am able the claim. This is Chapter 4 enjoy!

Oh and be patient with me. I'm doing this chapter by chapter to see which way the story heads. I have no solid plans so if you have any ideas feel free to share. I am open to anything. ^_^

Rising with the sun, Kagome rose without pain. At least, not physically. Her miko powers could heal her body but her mind was in a state of disarray. The memory of catching Inuyasha fucking his secretary was still fresh in her mind and still brought tears to her eyes, but she refused to let many of them fall.

"No, I have reached my low-point. I will rise from this," she said with a new determination. "I will get stronger from this!"

"Has the half-breed scared you so much to drive you to insanity and talk to yourself miko?"

That voice again.

No matter how much she tried to ignore it, the sound being emitted from his vocal chords still sent chills down her spine. Not letting it set her off course, and focusing on what had been said, Kagome glared at him ready to bite his head off. But her voice was caught in her throat. Standing in the door frame was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.

His sun kissed eyes were the first thing she notices. Though they were glaring with a look of hatred, there was an undertone of amusement. HE WAS LAUGHING AT HER. How dare her. She was about to yell at him again but her eyes traveled to his chest. It was bare glistening in the morning sun. 'He must have been in the dojo this morning', she thought. His chest was solid and his skin was pale like he had never seen the light of day. Oh how amazingly strong his chest looked. The muscles beneath his skin were rippling with power even when he wasn't moving. Sesshomaru was a sight to behold and here she was staring like a school girl, but she couldn't help it. Inuyasha was no push over when it came to looks but his brother was far superior. Not that she would ever tell him; his ego was big enough.

"It is impolite to stare, miko," he reminded her. That cold voice was enough to have her snap out of her gazing and give him a heated glare. Now she remembered why Inuyasha was the better choice. Well, he used to be. Now it appeared like he was the greater of the two evils.

"Go to hell Sesshomaru and get out of my room," she demanded yelling at him. Before she could draw her next breath, Sesshomaru had her pinned against the wall with a claw around her neck. Slowly, he let the poison seep into her skin, just enough to leave his hand print.

"Heed my words wench; you are here solely because of my father's will. Have no preconceived notion that you are safe. You will learn your place."

'Careful, she might not forgive you later for this'

'I care not what the wench thinks she will die by my hands if she steps out of line'

'Keep mate by your side and she will learn'

'Never will the wench be anything but my brother's whore never will I mate a filthy human bitch'

'Bitch? Yes your bitch. The sweet smell of her scent will draw you to her and you will have no choice mate her NOW CLAIM HER MARK HER MAKE HER OURS'

The mentioning of scent had Sesshomaru secretly sniffing the air around them taking in her scent. It was a mix of sakura blossoms and spring rain. And he was a addicted. He could drown in her scent and die happy. The snicker of his beast snapped him out of his mind set. With his eyes starting to transition to crimson, he gave one final shout to his inner self….

'SILENCE NOW'

The smell of her; unbridled, unadulterated filtered through his nose causing the crimson turn back into the natural golden color. The pure scent that come from her drove him crazy but he wasn't about to admit. He'll be damned if he had anything to do with his bastard half -brother's sloppy seconds. He mentally locked the door and to the cage the held his beast and returned, fully, the realm of reality. He glared, full at the tiny onna in his grasp and stared her straight in the vibrant blue eyes of hers.

"Stay in your place wench, or death will appear to be a welcomed blessing", he growled out and let her fall to the floor. Without giving her a second glance, Sesshomaru glided out the door leaving Kagome on the floor gasping for the air the he had deprived from her lungs. Rubbing her neck she felt it was tender to the touch.

'Damn that bastard. You'd think I'd spit on his shoes or something,' she thought standing on shaky legs. Slowing, as not to tip over, Kagome made her way the adjoining bathroom to check the damage.

What she saw was enough to make her want to kill him. Right below her jaw line, taking up her whole neck was a bruise in the shape of the Daiyoukai's hand. She groaned at the thought of going out in public. She might hate Sesshomaru but she didn't want to start any trouble with people asking question. "Damn it no amount of make-up is going to cover that up and my powers are still weak." That's when it hit her like a ton of bricks. Strengthen her power and weaken the hold these dogs had on her.

"My powers are the only thing I have going for me in strength. I have the perfect person to help with idiot demons." Kagome grabbed her jacket and rand to the door. Sango would be the perfect person to help her strength and Kaede was the perfect person to help her mentally.

[A/N] That's the end of chapter 4….. Again a chapter by chapter thing. Please REVIEW and give my any ideas suggestions, comments or concerns you may have I will try to post as soon as possible JA-NE
