Chapter One

A daiyoukai with silver hair flowing behind him continued to wander his lands looking for the kumo hanyou who had dared cross him. He walked tall and proud with a look of constant boredom on his icy cold features. His young ward Rin, servant Jaken, and two-headed dragon A-Un stayed quite a few paces behind him being able to tell the powerful Lord was in an abhorrent mood even if his face never changed its passive look.

Sesshomaru let out a low growl at his beast. He was not to pleased with it's thoughts as of late, his inner beast seemed fascinated with Inuyasha's miko bitch. No he sneered to himself, that human wench is not worthy of the term bitch. Yet his beast continued on, We must find the miko, we need to know more about her. She has such unmatched power she even survived this Sesshomaru's hand on several occasions. Over and over again it would go on about how it needed to know more about the miko in strange indecent clothes who followed his pathetic half brother as if she was the lost puppy.

Pathetic, the human is nothing more than a pest and not worth this Sesshomaru's time.

The miko is a mystery we need to uncover, her enticing smell, less than decent clothing yet exceptional holy powers. How can someone who dresses as a whore be so pure?

Sessomaru's beast was always a curious one, and more often than not it had never lead him wrong so he usually let him have his way. However this was not the case this time. Sesshomaru could tell his beast had somehow grown fond of his half brothers wench, he sometimes wondered what the beast had noticed that he hadn't but he quickly wiped those thoughts away. He would not ponder about a filthy human, no matter how drawn to her his beast seemed to be. Just as he was about to tell his inner beast for the last and absolute final time that he would in no uncertain terms not be searching for the half-breeds whore the wind shifted and he caught a scent that made him snarl and curl his lips in distaste.

The half-breed and his rag tag band of warriors were fighting with the wind witch Kagura close by.

Turning towards the direction his half brother and his miko he made his was to the clearing they were fighting in. As he made his way towards Inuyasha he could feel his beasts excitement rising. He tried to stamp it out witht he thought that they were not going to see the miko, he was in fact going to kill the wind witch that came from Naraku or at least follow her back to her keeper. However that only helped to heighten his beasts excitement. Sesshomaru's inner beast hated Kagura, he could see the way she looked at him, hear the lilt in her voice desperately begging for a rut everytime she said his name. She repulsed him, as if he would ever lower himself to lay with someone who's scent was so putrid to his sensitve nose. Add on the the fact she was literally made from a piece of Naraku and the thought that he would ever even consider rutting her was laughable.

Ahead of him in the clearing Sesshomaru could see them now. Kagura had the miko caught in one of her wind tornados, she was spinning around hopelessly, her small form crashing roughly against rocks and other debris while she curled in on herself. He sneered at the pathetic display, this was the woman his beast was so intrigued with? She couldn't even go up against a touch of wind. To the side of her Inuyasha was trying relentlessly to use his wind scar to work against Kagura. It failed repeatedly and Sesshomaru had to sigh at the stupidity of his half brother, she controls the wind imbecile. The other humans that followed his brother were not having much luck either, it looked like the taijya had tried to use her large hiraikotsu to take down the wind witch but she had just deflected it towards the monk with a gust of her winds, now the slayer was crouched by the monk checking on his state.

"Sesshomaru, how nice of you to join the party," Kagura purred in her silkiest voice.

"Kagura," was his only icy reply before he usheathed his sword, holding the fang poised in front of him pointed towards her, "I have only come to find out where Naraku is, tell this one where he is and you may leave unharmed."

Kagura gave him her best come hither look, "Oh but Sesshomaru I love a little pain," she waved her fan toward him sending one of her twisters straight at him.

Sesshomaru quickly jumped out of the way before countering with an attack of his own. As the battle continued on no one noticed the girl still spinning in the demonic twister peek through her her hands to see what was going on. The wind was rushing around Kagome, she was sure she must have a couple bruised if not broken ribs from being beaten with debris like it were a battering ram. She could see the fight going on outside of her twister. Sango and Miroku were fighting side by side, he used sutras and his staff to neutralize the wind as much as he could so they could try to get close enough to Kagura to actually make contact with her. Her beloved half demon had thrown tessaiga aside in favour of trying to use his claws. His wind scar must not be working because I haven't been able to neutralize her wind. Her friends looked as bloody and broken and she felt and it was tearing her apart. A blue light took over the battle field for a moment and Kagome held her breath praying to the kamis her friends were okay from whatever kind of dmeonic blast that was. A high pitch laugh rang out through the clearing, "Missed me!," Kagome heard Kagura sing before she heard a loud growl. Sesshomaru? When did he get here?

Kagome couldn't just watch her friends get killed on this battlefield, deciding she had to do something she started trying to straighten out her body as best as she could. She managed to get her chest a short distance away from her knees before something hit her in the back and forced her to collapse on herself again. Refusing to give up through the nausea from this never eneding roller coaster and the pain she managed to straighten herself enough to reach behind her, quickly curling her fingers around the wood of one of her sacred arrows she pulled it from the quiver just as a rock smashed into her hand making her drop the arrow into the swirling wind around her. With her arm still behind her back and her pain tightly reigned in through clamping her teeth down on her lip she quickly drew another arrow wasting no time before pulling her arm back in front of her. Kagome started to channel as much of her reiki into the arrow as she could manage while being tossed around like a rag doll in a dryer. She let out a loud scream as the arrow she had dropped into the wind pierced her side but she didn't let it deter her, she could deal with it later. Plunging the arrow she had channeled her reiki into, into the winds in front of her she let out a sigh of relief as the spinning abruptly stopped, thanking the kamis she managed to keep her lunch down so far, before she was screaming for Inuyasha as she was plummeting towards to forrest floor below with an arrow still stuck in her side.

Sesshomaru heard the girl call out for Inuyasha and although it irked his beast that she would call to his half breed brother for help instead of him when he was clearly much more capable, he couldn't stop his beast from reacting to her cry. Quicker than anyone could see Sesshomaru had leapt into the air to catch the miko. Her scent over took him when he was holding her so close to him, it was a mixture of peaches, morning dew, lilac, and something completely wild and untamed but at the same time so pure it burned his nose in the most pleasant way. His beast was practically purring from the enticement she was to him, and he couldn't deny the scent called to him as well. Irritated that his brothers human whore's scent called to him in such a way he dropped her to the ground as if she had scalded him as soon as his feet touched the forrest floor.

Kagome barely had a moment to register that she was in Sesshomaru's arms before he had dropped her. Falling to her knees she let out a cough as she felt the arrow lodge a little further into her side. Taking a second to glare at him she grabbed her bow and an arrow quickly knotching it and taking aim. Sesshomaru watched the priestess with his brow raised, he had to admit he was curious to what she planned to do with that arrow. If his attacks had done little to Kagura he had serious doubts this tiny speck of a girl and her flimsy bow and arrow could be of any help. She looked half dead with cuts and bruises everywhere and one of her own arrows sticking out of her side. Yet still the look of pure, fiery determination on her face had him pause, the look in her eyes was not that of the weak human he had discounted her to be. This woman was pure power, her eyes flashed pink and her aura sparked all around her. It felt electrifying against his own aura and made his take pause to wonder what on earth was happening that even his aura seemed drawn to her.

Kagome let her arrow fly straight toward Kagura. The arrow purified all the wind it came into contact with, never diverting its path straight for the wind witch. Kagura let out a horrid shriek as the arrow pierced her shoulder and purified it. The purification spread as she fell to her knees losing the arm that was holding her fan as well as leaving a gruesome burn across her collarbone and up her neck to the side of her face. To say Sesshomaru was stunned would be putting it lightly, how could one small human contain so much power? It should not be possible.

I told you, we must learn more about the miko. She intrigues us, calls to us. You felt it too when she let her arrow go, smelt how enticing she was to us. Sesshomaru was not sure he could fight to disagree anymore. Her display of raw untamed power called to him and he could only imagine the things she could learn to do with the right teaching. She could be a powerful weapon to anyone. We must get her away from Inuyasha, he cannot be in control of so much power. Only this Sesshomaru should be allowed to control someone with so much power. He is not worthy.

Hm, this Sesshomaru concurs, the half breed will not be allowed to keep the miko. She will become a weapon for this one and only I will command her power.

"I don't know if you can regenerate like Naraku Kagura, but if I were you I'd leave while I had the chance," the miko called across the battlefield drawing his attention back to her. She had an arrow knotched, aimed right at Kagura's heart and a determined look on her face. Her wild inky black hair blew behind her and her bright blue eyes glowed the colour of the ocean, she had a large chest that was heaving under her strained breath, probably from broken ribs and the arrow protruding from her side, sweat dripped down her brow and his eyes couldn't help but follow the path it made down the side of her heart shaped face over high cheek bones and past full pink lips, until it dripped from her chin down to her breast and he lost the path of it between her breasts under her strange haori. He noticed she was curvier than most humans he had seen around, carrying a healthy amount of fat on her stomach, though this did not detract from the small waist in comparison to her wide hips and round bottom. Her thighs were thick and toned he could see since the strange piece of fabric she used to cover her lower half was so indecent.

Kagura pulled a feather from her hair and took off, once she was far enough gone Kagome seemed to crumple under the weight of her injuries. She let out a strained breath before her world went black. Once again unable to stop the reaction of his beast Sesshomaru caught her before she fell onto the arrow piercing her ribs, this time however he let himself enjoy her scent and picked her up carefully avoiding any areas that may cause more damage. The miko would be useful to him, he could not let his new posession become useless already. He knew he'd have to convince her to go with him but he was sure if his capabilities to do so, after all he was Lord of the West and who has ever been known to deny this Sesshomaru? He had already decided she was his now, and so she would be.

"Sesshomaru! Drop Kagome right now!" Inuyasha bellowed leaping from his spot and landing in front of Sesshomaru with tessaiga drawn.

Inwardly rolling his eyes at the half breeds idiocy, dropping the miko right now would definitely not be a good idea. "The miko is injured half breed dropping her would not be wise."

"Feh, that's not what I meant, just hand her over to me Sesshomaru. I know you wouldn't wanna filthy yourself with a disgusting human stench her," Inuyasha sneered holding out his arms to take Kagome, he really was uncomfortable having any male besides him holding her but he was especially uncomfortable with his half brothers arms around his Kagome.

"No, I will take the miko to the river to treat her injuries," turning Sesshomaru took his leave expecting them to follow without fighting, shocked into silence Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku watched mouths open as the great daiyoukai walked away with their friend in his arms.

"Aren't you guys coming?" Shippo asked them worriedly as he followed behind Kagome and Sesshomaru snapping them all out of their daze.
