Disclaimer: Assuming a disguise I have returned to try to own Inuyasha, but for now I don't.

…

"Hansamu has been murdered!" the servant carrying a tray of delicacies screeched. A moment later armed men with guns came in and fired.

"Look out!" Kagome shouted grabbing Jaken and jumping out the screen doors to the koi pond.

Instead of doing as told he allowed a few shots to hit him to study the impact of the weapon. It was fast, and the damage it did despite its small size was great. From this moment forward another one of these round balls will never pierce him again.

"Let me go wench," the toad fought her grip, "It will be an honor to die for Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Why risk your life for him when he doesn't care about yours?" Kagome asked wrestling him back.

He stilled, "It is obvious a wench such as you can never understand my Lord and you are unworthy of his presence!"

"Miko."

"Sesshomaru?"

"It's LORD to you."

"Shut up Jaken." she sighed exasperatedly.

"Lead me to the girls. And Rin you may come out now."

""

The moment the girls saw him their eyes widened brimming with tears of happiness all reaching out to touch him as if he were an angel. With a slash he broke the lock and they all bowed for him following the gesture with many many praises and asking where they were and how they could get back to such and such.

"Rin you are so lucky to have him." The blue haired demon girl smiled.

Grinning, "Rin knows."

"What is he like Rin?" A horse demon asked.

She thought about. Her ponytail swaying this way and that as she seemed to think the possibilities through, "Rin thinks Sesshomaru Sama is like the moon. Cold, beautiful, and distant but always there when you need it."

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Another girl tugged at his robes, "It you ever come to the Southern Lands in sixteen years please don't be afraid to send for me."

"These kids move fast don't they." Kagome sighed.

"But Kagome my sisters!"

She nodded, "Let's," a smell hit her nose, "Eat him." Sesshomaru turned around, "I meant free them!"

It took everything she had not to stare at the red splotches on his kimono. She wanted, no she had to have a taste, just a little closer, it's right there …

"Are you in need of assistance Miko?" Sesshomaru asked sensing her eyes on him.

Straightening immediately, "No!"

""

"Well that was the last one." Kagome said staring even more at his clothes than his face as she spoke.

"Yes," Taka smiled, "Charity time is over."

"Now on to the matter of my mother."

"Oh yes she wishes to see you."

"Of that I am aware Taka."

"Oh Sessho always to the chase. No fun. No fun at all."

"Mother …"

"Will love to see her son," Kagome quickly interjected, "Which is why you should hand me those dirty hakamas so that I can clean them for you!"

Pouting, "Why do all the woman want to see Sessho naked when they have me?"

"You should be lucky anyone wants to see you."

"What was that toad?"

"Nothing Master Taka."

"As I was saying." Sesshomaru began again when Kagome interrupted once more eyes wild.

"Wouldn't your people think it a sign of weakness if they saw their lord covered in his own blood?" she batted her eyes.

"She has a point Sessho."

Sesshomaru eyed her. Never before had she wanted to simply help him out of the kindness of her heart. What was she after? Could she have truly fallen for his looks as easily as the others? With a disappointed look he removed his top for her to clean telling her about the bathing salts to use on it.

Running as if her life depended on it she carried his top until she hit water then sucked on the red blotches, "Kami I needed this!" Kagome sucked harder and harder almost chocking on the fabric. Finished with one spot she looked disappointed until she saw others.

Licking her lips she divested her tongue among them feeling her strength return and with it some of her miko powers, "Finally," she hummed around an area, "Finally."

""

"All clean!" Kagome carried the damp fabric back to him, "I'll leave it on this rock to dry." Was what she was about to say when she noticed his beautiful chest and near tripped over her own two feet before regaining her composure.

"You arrived just in time." Taka said from the tree he reclined on.

"For?" Kagome asked checking on the sleeping Rin by the fire.

"My departure," he began to walk away then stopped, "Oh and Sessho your mother said something about NichiShu, she could use another project, being responsible for the death of InuTaisho, oh and something about the order …"

"Jaken!"

"My Lord?"

"Wake Rin we are leaving immediately."
