Chapter 6- Time to Kill or be Killed

"Lady Kagome!" Miroku shouted into he forest.

"Kagome!" Sango screamed into the dark.

"Oka-san!" Shippou cried as he snuggled against Kirara.

"Where could she have gone?" Sango asked while facing the Houshi.

"I do not know, Sango. We must find her, for I feel that there is something dreadfully wrong." Miroku turned and looked to the sky. Sango noted the look of worry in his eyes.

"What has Inuyasha done to hurt poor Kagome this time?" Sango quietly asked while looking in the same direction as the Houshi.

oOo

"Chikusho! Kikyo! You're always getting me in trouble!" Inuyasha roared approaching a stunned Kikyo.

"I thought you loved me, Inuyasha?" Kikyo brought her hands to her chest. "Don't you love me Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha's eyes softened. "Yes, Kikyo, I love you." Inuyasha grabbed a hold of Kikyo and pulled her into a hug.

"You do not love my reincarnation?"

"No, Kikyo. I love just you."

"Inuyasha, I am dead as you know, so please come with me to hell; my time draws near."

"Hai, Kikyo, I shall die just for you. You must wait until after I kill Naraku!"

oOo

"Irasshaimase, Lord Sesshomaru!" cried Aelita as she bowed to her Lord. (A/N: Irasshaimase means welcome in Japanese) She had sensed him coming and went out to greet him.

Sesshomaru just nodded to her. "Aelita." Sesshomaru called to the servant as she bowed before him.

"Hai, my Lord?" Aelita responded.

"Show the Miko to her room. You will serve her and so will Taiya.

"Hai, my Lord," Aelita bowed deeply.

Sesshomaru nodded and walked away.

"Come, my Lady. We have to get you ready for supper." Aelita started walking toward the palace after she told Kagome what she needed to say.

"You don't need to call me that. Just call me Kagome."

"Alright, Kagome." Aelita answered as she turned towards her.

"Well, lets go before Sesshomaru ahs a fit." Kagome announced. She was walking toward the palace once again.

"Kagome!" Aelita gasped, "You have to call Lord Sesshomaru, Lord or add Sama, not just his name! You have to be respectful!"

"I know."

Aelita led Kagome through the winding hallways and up the stairs to her room. "Well, this is your room, Kagome," she announced while pushing the doors open.

Kagome gasped. The room was huge! The bed was a king size bed with black and silver silk sheets. The floor was black with silver flowers as the patter. The walls were shiny silver.

Kagome walked across the room. 'Dear Kami! It has a balcony, too!' Kagome walked out onto the balcony. She looked at the ground below her. Her breath was caught in her throat when she spotted a gorgeous garden just below the balcony. Kagome took in a deep breathe of air, smelling the wonderful aroma of the flowers. Kagome felt like she was in heaven. She was pulled away form her thoughts when someone touched her shoulder. "Hmmm?" Kagome softly replied to the touch.

"Pardon me, Kagome, but we are almost late for supper." Aelita told Kagome while rushing to get a decent kimono for Kagome.

Aelita picked out a lovely black kimono with a silver sash. The black kimono had silver flowers on the left shoulder and on the hem.

Aelita quickly dressed Kagome and did her hair up fancy. "We must hurry." Aelita nervously told Kagome as she pushed Kagome out the door.

"Please hurry and follow closely, Lady Kagome."

"Hai." Kagome answered while staring at the decorations that adorned the walls. Kagome didn't even notice when they arrived at the dining hall. Kagome was pushed through the door.

"You're late." Kagome heard his voice from the other side of the room.

"Gomen, Sesshomaru. I did not mean to be late." Kagome answered apologetically.

"Sit," he ordered.

"Arigato, Sesshomaru-sama."

Sesshomaru watched as Kagome ate silently. He noticed that she was wearing the kimono he had chosen for her. 'It definitely fits her figure. She looks…' Sesshomaru nearly kicked himself. 'She is a human! I harbor no feeling for her! Ugh! How could this Sesshomaru think such thoughts!' Sesshomaru inwardly screamed at himself.

"Is something wrong, Sesshomaru-sama?" Kagome asked looking at him with concern.

"No." Sesshomaru answered. He stood and walked out of the dining hall, to his private study.

Sesshomaru crossed the room and sank into his chair behind his desk. Sesshomaru looked down to his desk and saw the pile of paperwork just lying there.

He sighed as he started taking papers form the pile and signing them. Sesshomaru's thoughts started to wander to Kagome. 'Why does this human invade my thoughts? This Sesshomaru doesn't have feelings for her.'

Sesshomaru sighed again. 'Ugh! This Sesshomaru does not have time for this!' Sesshomaru thought to himself as he kept signing the papers.

oOo

Kagome watched as Sesshomaru stood and walked out of the dining hall. 'I wonder what's wrong with him,' Kagome pondered. Kagome finished her food and started to wander the palace.
Kagome was admiring the decorations adorning the walls. Kagome had no idea where she was at or where she was going, she just kept looking at the decorations.

Kagome stopped just outside a door. She was studying the markings on the door, intently. 'I have seen this before, but who is it! It is on the tip of my tongue. I know I've seen this picture before but where! Great! This is going to bug me all day!' Kagome thought while she was staring at the picture of a demon in a dog's form.

"What are you staring at?" Sesshomaru demanded to know.

Kagome whirled around to face the demon Lord. 'When did he get here? Why didn't I sense him coming?' Kagome screamed at herself.

Sesshomaru watched as the girl was arguing with herself. He raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Miko?"

Kagome heard him call her name or somewhat close to her name.

"Hai, Sesshomaru-sama?"

"You never answered my question."

"Gomen, Sesshomaru-sama. I was just looking at the marking on this door.

"Well this door is my bed chamber."

"Oh," Kagome said, "Where is my room again?"

"Look to your right, Miko. That is your bed chamber."

Kagome turned her head to the right. "Oh, I see." Kagome turned and faced Sesshomaru again. Kagome noticed another door to the left of Sesshomaru. "Whose room is that?"

"That is Rin's room. Are you educated Miko?"

"Hai, I am…why?"

"You will be teaching Rin in the afternoons then."

"What! Why?"

"You will not raise your voice to me, Miko!"

"That's another thing! My name isn't Miko, Kikyo, Wench or any other name you have given me! It's Kagome! Ka-go-me!"

"SILENCE!" Kagome became utterly silent.

"You are staying in this Sesshomaru's home, you will listen to what I say, when I say it!" Sesshomaru roared.

Kagome was taken aback. She had never heard Sesshomaru yell before.

"I'm sorry, Sesshomaru-sama. I didn't mean to upset you." Kagome mustered while tears were starting to well up in her eyes.

"What is wrong, Lord Sesshomaru? Why are you yelling?" asked Rin running from her room to cling to his leg.

"Nothing is wrong, Rin, go back to bed," Sesshomaru ordered while patting her on the head.

"Lord Sesshomaru, who is this pretty Lady?

"Rin, she is Kagome. Kagome, Rin."

"Hi, Rin. How are you?" Kagome asked bending down to look at the girl.

"Rin is good. Rin thinks that you are pretty Lady Kagome."

"Arigato, Rin."

"Rin, it's bed time." Sesshomaru stated.

"Hai, Lord Sesshomaru. Can Lady Kagome tuck me in?" Rin asked.

"No."

"Please, Lord Sesshomaru? Please?"

"Alright, Rin. Now go to bed!"

"Yay! Come on Lady Kagome." Rin took Kagome's hand and led her into her room.

"Get in bed, Rin." Rin climbed into bed and Kagome tucked her in. "Good night, Rin," Kagome whispered as she shut the door behind her.

Sesshomaru watched Kagome tuck in Rin. He watched as she quietly closed the door and walked to stand before him.

"You shall begin your training tomorrow, Kagome. Be ready before dawn." Sesshomaru gave Kagome orders and walked into his room.

'Did he just call me by my name?'

"You must get some sleep, Miko!" Sesshomaru yelled from within his room.

Kagome heard Sesshomaru and walked into her room, softly closing the door behind her. Kagome climbed into bed and fell asleep thinking about Sesshomaru.

oOo

"Why did I call her by her name?" Sesshomaru thought to himself.

'Because you like her.'

"This Sesshomaru does not like a human." Sesshomaru argued with himself.

'Don't lie to yourself, you know you like her.'

"You're so lucky that you're only a voice in my head, otherwise you would be dead."

'I know I am. You need to get over yourself! You like her and you know it.'

"Enough! I will not become weak like my father!"

'Fine, but you can't hide your feelings from me.'

"Feh!" Sesshomaru ended the discussion in his head. He looked at his one arm and cursed his brother for making him lose it. Sesshomaru sat on his bed and stared at the wall, while he waited for morning.

oOo

"Lady Kagome! Kagome! You need to wake up. You have training this morning." Aelita said as she was shaking the girl.

Kagome swatted at Aelita's hands away from her. "Five more minutes!"

"No Kagome! Now!"

Sesshomaru heard the ruckus from his room. He walked out of his room into Kagome's bed chamber.

The next thing Kagome knew, she was in the air with a hand around her throat.

"You will wake up when told, Miko."

Kagome opened one eye and glared at Sesshomaru. Kagome whimpered because of the lack of air.

"Please." Kagome pleaded above a whisper.

"You will meet me in the training dojo in ten minutes." Sesshomaru said dropping Kagome on the bed. "Do you understand me Miko?" Sesshomaru asked with his face only inches from Kagome's ear.

"Hai," she choked.

Sesshomaru turned form Kagome and walked towards the door. He stopped and said, "Ten minutes Miko, I'm counting." With that said, Sesshomaru left.

"Some day!" Kagome whispered, "Someday!"

Aelita still stood in the same spot, horrified by what Sesshomaru was doing to the poor girl. Aelita waited for Sesshomaru to walk down the hallway before she ran to Kagome's side.

"Gomen, Lady Kagome! I did not mean to get you into trouble. I'm so sorry, m'lady!" Aelita groveled at Kagome's feet.

"Aelita, get up. You had nothing to do with this. It's just the 'Ice Prince' has a stick jammed up his ass and it's far in for him to reach." Kagome announced while walking toward the closet.

Aelita gasped, "My Lady! You can't speak that way about your Lord!"

"He's not my Lord! We just have an agreement or partnership or something like that."

"You're still in his house!"

"Aelita, what's your point?" Kagome asked.

"Just that you need to respect Lord Sesshomaru."

"Whatever," Kagome huffed. "So, what am I supposed to wear," Kagome asked while opening the closet doors.

oOo

'She's late,' Sesshomaru thought to himself.

Just then Kagome walked through the door.

"You're late, Miko." Sesshomaru stated.

"I know, I'm sorry Sesshomaru-sama."

"Why?"

"I got lost." Kagome answered while looking at the ground.

"Come, Miko." Sesshomaru ordered as he walked across the dojo to the opposite wall.

Kagome followed Sesshomaru to the wall. She saw weapons of all kinds, swords, spears, bows with arrows and sickles.

"Pick a weapon. You shall fight me with the weapon you choose." Sesshomaru grabbed Tokijin, one of his favorite swords, from the sheath at his side.

Kagome put her index finger on her lip, contemplating which weapon to chose. 'I already know how to use a bow, so why don't I try a sword of some sort.' Kagome's eyes fell upon a sword with a crescent moon engraved by the hilt. The hilt was blue and yellow, the blade stood from the ground to just below Kagome's hip.

"Stand over there." Sesshomaru ordered 'Why did she just chose that sword? That sword is one of the heaviest ones on that rack and a human should not be able to wield it. Well, I guess we'll just see how well she can handle that blade.' Sesshomaru thought to himself.

Kagome positioned herself on the other side of the dojo, facing Sesshomaru.

"Come at me." Sesshomaru ordered Kagome.

"What!" Kagome almost yelled.

"This Sesshomaru does not repeat himself."

Kagome watched Sesshomaru and then he disappeared and reappeared right behind her. "You're too slow, Miko!"

Kagome turned around and blocked Sesshomaru's attack. Kagome counter attacked but Sesshomaru just dodged it.

They fought on like that for four hours. Sesshomaru finally left Kagome take a break.

"How'd I do?" Kagome asked while gasping for air.

"Fine." Sesshomaru wasn't going to tell her what he was really thinking.

"Fine? That's it! I didn't even get hit and I did fine?"

"You did better than I thought you would." Sesshomaru admitted.

"That's better." Kagome retorted.

"You have to be a lot better if you're going to go and kill Naraku. With him it's kill or be killed. Now, Miko go get ready for dinner."

"Yes, Sesshomaru." Kagome turned and walked out of the dojo. Suddenly Kagome ran back inside. She ran over to the weapons and put her sword back.

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the strange girl. Kagome saw Sesshomaru's face. "I uhh… forgot to put my sword back." Kagome looked at the ground, while a blush of embarrassment crept onto her cheeks. Kagome bowed and walked out of the dojo and into the castle. She needed to get ready for dinner. Kagome saw someone run around the corner but Kagome wasn't sure whom it was. 'I wonder who that was?' Kagome followed the strange figure around the corner.

A/N: Hey hoped you liked this chapter. 2,291 words that's how many words were in this chapter lol. Well R&R peeps! Oh yea in chap 2 I think it was, Kagome told Sango not to tell because 1) she wasn't ready for other people to know and 2) she wanted to tell them herself. I hope that clears up some complications.

THANKS TO: tearsofacresant,pricelessprincess, Tohru-Uotani-Hanajima, Kage Bi Koori, lildevil0644, micael m, Moonlight Chaos, 1kenshinlover, sassysango26, Taiyoukai-chan, and Demonic Angelz.

Tearsofacresant: Have you ever disliked someone but waved to them just to be nice? Kagome wanted to wave to Sesshomaru just out of common curtsey. Kagome found Inuyasha with Kikyo and he has hurt her to many times before, that is why she wishes death upon him but I still might change that and put it in a good favor. I'm just not sure yet. I hope that answers your questions.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO REVIEWED! Also I'm trying to find my spelling mistakes… I don't mind if you tell me what I have spelled wrong or what I put in instead of something else. They're just computer typos lol I have them right on paper just spell them wrong on the computer. Well R&R Taiyoukai-Miko
