Kagome walked around the palace garden after her conversation with Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru did not kill my mother. However, I cannot say that he is not the bad person; he is still famous for being a cold and ruthless youkai. I cannot trust him. She thought.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she failed to see where she was going. She hit somebody. Hard.

"Ow!" She exclaimed and tried to hold on to anything to avoid falling but found none.

But, instead on falling on something hard and cold, she fell on something soft and warm. She opened her eyes only to stare on impassive golden eyes of none other than Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru-sama," she whispered in surprise. She fell in his arms.

He did not say anything but he helps her stand upright again then he looked at the human slave on their right. The one she hit earlier.

"Why are you on her way? You almost make her fall. She almost got hurt," Sesshomaru sternly asked the human slave.

"Please, forgive this stupid servant, Sesshomaru-sama. I deserved to be punished," the human girl kneeled before Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru-sama, it's not her fault. I was the one who hit her," Kagome said, walking towards the human slave and helping her to stand.

"Please, forgive me, my lady."

"Oh, I should be the one saying sorry. I apologize for being so careless and hitting you," she bowed slightly towards the human girl.

"No, it is nothing, my lady," the human slave said but when she saw that Kagome is bowing her head to her, her eyes widened. "Please, please don't bow before this lowly servant."

"Hn." Sesshomaru huffed. "Let us go, Kagome." He turned around and walked away.

Kagome smiled politely to the girl. "What's your name?"

"Sango, my lady," Sango replied, smiling back at the young kind girl.

"Kagome," Sesshomaru said from a far.

With one last smile, she followed Sesshomaru. "You scared her earlier, Sesshomaru-sama," she said, disapproval in her voice.

"Hn." He stopped walking. He turned to her. "I don't want anyone hurting what's mine, Kagome."

Kagome's eyes hardened and said, "I am not yours, Sesshomaru."
