Kagome and Rin were just walking into the room for their afternoon meal when Jaken came in the room.

"You humans will not be dining with the lord this supper you will have a cold meal and go to your rooms to pack you travel with the lord tonight you will leave the castle before last meal."

"What will we be eating?"

Jaken snapped his fingers and a lizard demon came into the room with a tray on his back, on the tray were cold cuts of meat cheese and some rolls. Kagome walked over grabbed the tray and placed it on a table quickly turning the cold cuts into sandwiches which she split with Rin.

"Thank you Jaken, the lord eating cold meats as well?"

"Lord Sesshomaru doesn't eat human food. He does like tea though."

"The lord doesn't wish to have his meal yet, now do as you are told wench."

Jaken said looking disgusted at being questioned by a human.

"Thank you Rin"

Kagome said ignoring Jaken.

"Why don't you take your sandwiches to your room and get ready to leave."

"Ok lady Kagome Rin will go get ready."

She said grabbing some sandwiches and running off.

'I must remember to try harder to teach her not to speak like Sesshomaru does.' Kagome thought as she went down to the kitchens to ask for a tray of tea for Sesshomaru.

"Lady Kagome how can we help you?" asked a kitchen servant.

"I would like to take a tray of tea to Sesshomaru, prepare me one."

"Right away Lady Kagome."

As the servant went about gathering the tea in walked Kiyama.

"Kagome I haven't seen you in awhile."

"Hello Kiyama." Kagome said with a smile.

"Come spend the day with me?"

"I can't we are traveling today."

"I thought you didn't travel until dawn?"

"No we leave today." Kagome said getting a little suspicious of how much this mattered to Kiyama. The servant who had finished preparing the tray cleared her throat effectively interrupting the conversation.

"Thank you." Kagome said accepting the tray, "Well if you excuse me we will have to catch up when I return."

"Of course, good day lady Kagome."

As Kagome went to Sesshomaru's room she never noticed Kiyama running off into the woods.

When Kagome opened Sesshomaru's door he sat there on his bed as cold, unmoving and beautiful as the mountains. She was standing in the doorway simply staring at him when he spoke and the suddenness of his voice as well as the intensity of the look he gave her almost made her drop the tea tray.

"What are you doing in here."

"I…I brought you some tea."

"Leave." He said and looked away from her. This action overwhelmed her with frustrated rage.

"How DARE you. I try to do something nice and you just dismiss me like I'm nothing? You rude, arrogant, pompous… "

She never finished her sentence because he took the tray and dropped it on the table and pulled her to him crushing her mouth under his grinding himself into her and rubbing his tongue along her lips until he forced her to open up for him, then he slid his tongue deep into her mouth pulling a response out of her. He made her shiver, twitch, grind, and moan, he made her fight to be closer to him then he moved away leaving her feeling cold(as she was now befit of his innate heat) and confused.

"Go now." He said calmly "Before this Sesshomaru finishes what has been begun, do not forget you are waiting for your sweet Inuyasha to rescue you."

Very much confused and upset Kagome moved forward.

"You are angry with me?"

When Sesshomaru said nothing Kagome continued.

"I am your property, a slave held against my will, and you're mad at me for wanting my friends to save me?"

Sesshomaru was on her again in a flash, not crushing this time but close enough that she could feel him against her.

"This Sesshomaru SAVED you from HIM." Sesshomaru said calm and clear.

"What!?"

Kagome asked her startling sapphire blue eye's wide and watery as she looked up at his sharp truthful golden ones.

"This Sesshomaru does not know why but Inuyasha attacked you, he nearly killed you, this Sesshomaru found you, brought you here, and protected you by making you MINE. This Sesshomaru made sure you were treated well when you were made Rin's retainer, THIS SESSHOMARU, gave you the freedom of the house and gardens, and even assented to call you by your name. When Kagome were you treated as my captive?"

"Being well kept property is just as bad, but I…Can't believe Inuyasha would…hurt me." She closed her eyes trying to remember, trying to see it, then she felt a hard slap. The pain, so unexpected especially from someone she trusted sent the memories crashing back into her mind. She remembered everything Inuyasha had said and done to her.

"Oh god no." She moaned and hit the floor "How could he?"

"How could he hurt you? Kagome surly you are not that simple minded? He doesn't love you or he wouldn't run to the dead Miko."

"That's not what I meant." She said lifting her tear covered face from her shaking hands and rested her now water blue eyes on his hard amber one's, "How could he…he…" She broke down again and Sesshomaru became concerned he pulled her onto his bed to sit next to him (Because he was to great to sit on the floor)

"Explain"

"He violated me, he hurt me and ripped my innocence from me."

She sobbed harder and Sesshomaru growled at the thought of Inuyasha touching what was his.

"Are you prepared to leave?"

"Yes."

She said between tears.

"When you regain your composure we will go."

She curled into Sesshomaru who simply sat there not sure how to respond to her tears, so there they sat for a good thirty minutes with Kagome curled into Sesshomaru's side his arm around her shoulders until finally she stopped and dried her eyes.

"I am so sorry."

"No need, go gather Rin and your things and be out front in five minutes that is when this Sesshomaru will leave."

"Hai, Lord Sesshomaru."

She said and hurried away, her new memories weighing heavily on her mind.
