Sesshomaru had just leaned himself against a tree when the blue magic appeared again. His first thought, something was wrong, and when she did not climb out, he knew something was wrong. He walked over and looked down, there she sat in a ball crying her eyes out.

"Miko"

"Leave me alone" She whispered "Just leave me alone"

He didn't understand "Why have you come back so soon"

"I can't, I can't do it"

Do what, he was confused "Do you wish to go back?"

"No!" She snapped looking up at him "I can't, I can't do it, look at them, the longer I stay the harder it will be!"

He looked at her, no words coming up.

She shook her head "I don't expect you to understand, just leave me alone, please"

"As you wish"

He pulled away and went back to the tree, he would give her space. He listen to her sob, and sniffle, then her heard her move, pacing the wells bottom, then he heard her start to climb, and after a moment or two she popped out of the well, along with her a big bag.

Kagome sniffled "Can you carry this for me?"

Normally he would have told the human girl no, but she was no longer just a human girl, and after Kouga's little rant she finally decided to be treated like a demon princess.

Sesshomaru walked over and picked up the heavy bag "What do you bring?"

"Stuff" Was all she offered him "Let's go back, I'm ready to get this over with, I think once I change I'll feel better"

He rose an eyebrow "In a hurry miko?"

Kagome rubbed her arms "Yeah, call it a feeling"

He nodded and soon they were back on their way, horse and all. Once again he rode with her, with her falling asleep against him, and this time he did notice, there was no wolf around to bug him. He could feel her heat beat against his cheat, it was fast for a human. As morning broke, the sun made her hair shine, it was black, but not a dull dirty black, but a nice clean freak black, he took note.

She had never been like other humans, he always knew that, he wondered if all humans in her time were like her, he would have to ask. Kagome was a clean person, bright, smart he knew, sure sometimes she did stupid stuff, but he put that on his brother.

As dawn became mid morning, she woke. They were at a walk and not a run. "Sorry"

"Humans must sleep"

"Do demons?"

"If we feel like it"

"So you never have to sleep?"

"No, we need rest, just not every night"

"Mmm"

They traveled a little more before he asked "Are all humans in your time the same as you"

"You mean in the future"

"Yes"

"Well what do you mean, like me?"

Hmm, how to word this "Clean"

She giggled "Well yes for the most part, do you wanna see photos?"

He didn't know what that was.

"Silly be, I forget you don't know what that is"

He did not like that fact either.

"Can we stop for a second"

"There is a river up ahead, we will stop"

So he led the horse there, and they found a good shaded spot, he got down first and then offered his hand to her. She looked at it for a moment, unsure.

"It will not bite"

She rose an eyebrow at him "I seem to recall that it does" She though back to his poison green whip. He cracked a wicked side smile and had her fearing.

"You fear my smile but not my bite?"

"Yes" But she did take his hand and he lead her down. Kagome grabbed two things from her bag, a camera and a book. She found a good log and sat down "Come sit!"

Sesshomaru was not one for sitting on logs, but for this he would.

Kagome opened the book "This is a book of photo's my mom made me"

He looked down as she opened it.

There on the first page was her mother, who odd enough looked like Kagome, but older, and with short hair, and in her arms she held a baby.

"Thats me as a baby, now I understand, it was the day they found me"

It didn't show much of her, just her head. Kagome turned the page, it was here asleep with a bottle in her mouth. He was waiting for a good shot of her, perhaps then he could tell. The she turned the page, she had to be a few months old in this one, it was her in a baby bath, bright-eyed and naked as the day she was born.

"Turn the page miko"

Kagome giggled "I'm just a baby Sesshomaru"

"It matters not" He seemed a bit peeved and then she made them both blush, not meaning to "I don't look like that anymore" Kagome quickly turned the page, this time is was a cute photo of her with a big bow in her hair, her eyes wide open, her eyes where blue, just as they were now.

"Do you remember me as a baby?" She asked quietly,

"Vaguely, you where but a few days old"

"Mm"

"I came to look at you, you where asleep, then you looked up at me" Kagome held her breath, she wished she could remember. She sat silent as he looked off "Your eyes where more gold than mine"

She smiled, but he didn't look at her right away, but when he did, her smiled faded. He was looking a her eyes and she knew it "They are different now, but they still speak"

"Hu?"

"When you looked at me, your eyes where golder than gold and they called out with power" Shivers graced her arms.

"And now?"

"Your eyes call out with want, with spirit, they are as blue as the unknown"

"Unknown, yeah, sounds like me" She looked away, not able to keep his eye contact.

"That is when I claimed you"

She hated that word,

"Your eyes seem to search for me, and though you where too small to reach out, your demon did"

Kagome blushed,

"You knew and saw me as your Alpha, the stronger male, you would have taken to me"

She looked at him again "Would have?"

He looked at her "If you had grown up with me, you would have followed me, bugged me, called me big brother"

Kagome was blushing and she could not stop it "You, think?"

"I know"

"And you?"

"Would have allowed it"

"Really?"

"I would have watched over you, I would have watched you grow, I would have seen you fall for me, I would go of to war, only to come back to a woman and not a child, I would have courted you, taken you, we would in fact be mated by now"

Kagome stood, her heat racing, her face blazing, it was too much to take, him talking like that, never in her wildest dreams!

her heart-felt as if it where going to burst and tears wanted to form, yet she didn't understand. He pushed "In fact, I believe you would be pupped"

"Stop!" She covered her ears, the book long forgotten on the ground.

He stood and walked behind her "Does this bother you"

She heard him "It's just, it makes me mad"

Mad?

She turned to look up at him "You're a jerk!"

He rose an eyebrow,

"It makes me mad to think that just because I was demon you would want me, but as a human you would rather me die, well I would rather stay human or die then become demon just for you to want me, if you can't want me as I am now, then I wont want you as I will be"

This made him angry "All the sudden you find out who I really am and your like' oh wait' No!"

"I told you once before, at this point it does not matter either way to me, you did not grow up with me, I did not grow found of you, you did not fall in love with me, I do not desire you, you do not desire me, it has nothing to do with you being human or demon, I do not want you either way" He growled back.

"So what if I were born human, would that story be the same!"

"I can not answer that, but I assume it would be more scandalous than that" He was angry with her, he spoke to her in a way he had never spoken and she pulls this crap.

"Come, it is time we get back"

"No, I am not ready"

"I do not care"

"Your not the boss of me"

"Women, you come or I'll make you"

"Try me!" She snapped back,

With a blink she was over his shoulder "Put me down!"

"Silence"

"No!" She sparked her power, placing her hands on this shoulder. It stung and he tossed her to the ground. She called out as her hip made contacted with the ground. His eyes went red as his demon rose to fight off the holy power. Kagome cried soft, damn that hurt. She leaned on the ground, her head touching the leave.

"Do not cry woman, you brought this on yourself"

But she didn't respond, her side really hurt. She had been thrown around, hit, knocked out, but this hurt far worst, and she was unsure if it was just the pain from the fall or if her feels being hurt had something to do with it.

Sesshomaru's eyes turned back white as he watched her moaning in pain on the ground.
