You must try to ignore .That it means more than that.

Kagome was making more arrows when his mother graced her with her presence, "Miko."

"My Lady," Kagome didn't get up but bowed her head.

His mother eyed her, and Kagome finally looked up, "Something I can do for you?"

"You do not fear me."

"Should I?" Kagome asked slowly,

"You do not fear my son."

Kagome looked back down at her arrows. "Iv never been afraid of him, but I give respect when it's due."

His mother rose an eyebrow as the Miko sliced another stick.

"I smell my son on your person."

Kagome dropped her pile of sticks and looked up. "Its, it's not what you think!"

"Quick to defend, perhaps it is as I think."

"It, he, I mean-

His mother smirked and laughed deep in her chest as she began to walk by "Becareful Miko, it would not be well for you if his intended smelt him on you."

Kagome groaned, "I'm gonna kill him!" She layed back and closed her eyes. It was a warm day. The wind blew through the trees, and the sound of wind chimes could be heard from their far off distance.

"She's right though," She opened her eyes "It would not be good for her to smell him on me." With that, she set up and grabbed her stuff. Once she dropped the stuff off to her room, she changed into a bathing robe and made her way to the warm hot springs. Of course, her sense picked up demonesses, more than one. She quickly shielded herself and turned around.

"Why do you worry over a mere human girl?"

Kagome stopped when she heard them talking.

"I do not worry; she is but a mere distraction." She heard the demoness snap, "Her and that human child."

"Then why not rid yourself of her Lady Mika?" Came a soft young voice,

"She is nothing but a mere plaything for his amusement." Mika replied, "And a friend to his retched half breed brother."

She heard water move around "I will mate him, he will be mine, and when I am pupped, she will see she has no place here and leave."

"And if shes doesn't?" A stronger female voice spoke this time.

"The I will have him kill her, it would be my right to ask it of him."

Kagome's heart started to beat faster.

"He does seem fond of her." Came the softer voice,

The demoness laughed, "My dear friend, that may be, however, instinct and sexual play will fix that."

They all laughed.

"What if she tried to seduce him?" The stronger voice asked.

"Surely you jest, that human, sway my Lord?" She seemed dejected. "She is not even that pretty even with her flaunting herself like a whore around him with that indecent skirt!"

Kagome got angry and fast. She was going to do something stupid. She moved to slide opened the door to give them what for when the girl spoke again "I smell him,"

Kagome didn't even have chance to back up before someone wrapped an arm around her waist and mouth.

She found herself in a dark room pressed up against the wall.

"What are you doing, Miko, starting a fight?"

He felt her calm, she lifted her hand to remove his hand from her mouth, "Would you stop sneaking up on me like that!"

"That is not my fault Miko; your training is lacking."

She breathed in, "What are you doing here, coming to peek?"

"Enough,"

"What, you can joke I cant?"

"Your heart rate spiked, what has angered you?"

"You know it's totally not fair that you can read me, and I can't ready you."

"It is not my fault. You are human."

"You can't play that card every time,"

"Miko," He warned.

"This is your fault; everyone can smell you on me!"

"Your point?"

"I was going to take a bath to remove your scent, but she's in there."

"You are afraid of her?"

"Hell no, but her mouth sure pisses me off, I would want to accidentally fry her."

"Hn, now you are aware of how it feels, ne Miko?"

"She insulted me."

"It must be true then if it effected you so that I could smell it clear across the castle."

"Hey, just because I'm insecure does not mean its true!"

It was silent; the sun was setting; the room was getting darker.

"What are you insecure about now, Miko?"

"You say that like-

"First it was your heart, now what is it?"

God, she hated his demon memory, that was like the night before Naraku all over again.

"It's not my fault that demoness are born perfect."

He snorted,

"Well, I hated to break it to her, but last time I was here, I could not keep men from trying to mate me!" She huffed with her nose to the sky.

"You are upset because she insulted your physical appearance and lack of male partner?"

Her resolve melted, "Did you have to say it like that!" She groaned, and the pouted.

"Stop that," He told her,

"What?" She sulked,

"Pouting Miko,"

"Hey, I'm allowed to pout."

"Not if you dont want me to react to your scent."

"And that's another thing- wait, react?"

"Hn, a complication from your scent imprinting."

"Well, can't you just unimprinted yourself, mister."

"That would require another female."

"Go find one?" She asked he gave her a flat look. "Two in my home is enough, Miko."

She pouted. He grabbed her jaw and made her look up, "Stop that."

He ran his claw over her lip, "I bite Miko."

She blushed, "Pouting makes you want to bite me?"

"You should mind your emotions until Inuyasha is mated."

"What happens then?"

"I will be released from my mothers pressing delusions."

"So, you have to wait ten more days?"

"Hn"

She pouted again; he pinched her lip.

"Hey!"

He dropped his hand, and she ran her tongue over her bruised lip, "How would you like it if I did that to you."

"Id love to see you try Miko,"

"Hm!" She walked by him, he slightly moved, then out of nowhere she pushed him with one arm, her power came out to bite him.

He grabbed her wrist "Do not start something that you can not finish Miko,"

"Hey, you started it by pinching my lip!" She tugged, "Then you challenged me!"

"Indeed," He leaned down "Run,"

He released her; she smiled and ran.

She shrieked, and she bolted down the halls. Inuyasha stuck his head out and watched as his brother walked calmly by him, "You know she will purify, right?"

"She may try," He stated as he walked by.

"What is going on?" Kiyo asked,

"Sesshomaru is playing with his food" Inuyasha shut the door.

"Perhaps there is hope yet, Inuyasha."

"Hope?"

"That we can leave this place."

"He rose an eyebrow.

"I seem to recall that you like playing with holy power."

She let her power dance on her fingers and then ran raked them down his bare chest. He grunted with pleasure and looked down as her hand grabbed his now throbbing man good "Damn Kikyo."

"Indeed, my lover."

Inuyasha grabbed her hand. "Wait, no way, Sesshomaru would not go for Kagome."

"He is giving chase is he not."

Inuyasha laughed, "Yeah, I would not look too deep into that if I were you."

But half way through the woods, Sesshomaru caught her.

"Your faster Miko, but not fast enough."

She was panting "Not fair" Her back was touching his chest. She reached up behind her a pinched his ear. He growled in her ear. She giggled,

"You burnt me."

Kagome gasped and spun around in his arms. "Oh my God, did I?" She quickly played with his kimono and opened it to see his bare chest. She ran her fingers over the pink spot, "Its already healing."

He closed his eyes. Her hands were so small, but so warm and the way she was touching him broke many of his own set laws. She looked up at him, and he opened his eyes. She took her hand away "Does it hurt?"

Oh, he was in pain, alright.

"No"

"Your eyes are pink."

"Hn"

They looked at one another for a moment.

"Ano, Sesshomaru?" Her words were sweet to his ears, and he was hit with something rather shocking, and it wasn't her power. He ran his claw finger back over her lip as she was still touching his chest. He leaned down slightly, and she lowered her eye lids but did not close her eyes fully. But then he backed away from her and turned around, "I will return first as not to arouse gossip."

"Hia," She said and watched as he walked away. Confused by what just happened.

"Do not get confused, Miko."

Kagome turned to see his intended standing there. "How long have you been there."

"Long enough" She walked closer, "Be not a fool, it is not you is he reacting bu the scent that I am giving off."

"He bypassed your scent mark."

She smirked, "I do not need to be scent marked to for rutting."

Kagome blushed.

"Do ignore him, he is merely reacting to me, not you, you, after all, are human and do not understand such things."

Kagome made a fist at her side.

"I can see how you could be confused" She walked around Kagome and bent and spoke in her ear

"Do not think for a moment, Miko, that you mean more to him than you do; this is a game to which you have no understanding."

She began to walk away.

"I understand."

The woman stopped, "Oh, you think you do, but you do not. Even if he is swayed by you, you maybe be lucky enough to bed him once, but trust me I say there will be no feelings envolved, it can not be"

"What afraid you will lose to a human" Not that she was trying, but damn she was tired of being insulted.

"I will not lose solely on the fact that his breast can not and will not react to you other than to want to kill you or make you summit; he would never have feelings deep enough to mark you, love you, pup you. It goes aginst his very nature. You are human, and even if you do understand our ways you can not go by them, it can not be learned, it is natural, humans do not have it. A lioness can tempt her a male to her favor purely on her animalist instincts, and he would abide."

She smiled, "A lion could rut with a bunny in blind lust, but it can not imprint on her, mark her or impregnate her."

Kagome understood, she was the bunny, Sesshomaru was the lion, and this damn girl was the lioness.

"He doesn't love you," Kagome stated.

"Oh, and he loves you?"

"I didnt say that"

"I dont need his love, Miko; I need his seed."

Kagome blushed.

"He will not resist once I have gotten him in bed, I will take him to leaves of pleasure no other has, and he will lose himself to the call and impregnate me, then he must mark me as the way of honor."

"You would trick him?"

She laughed "He knows the risk, do not insult him so."

"He can fight it" He was strong after all.

"Oh, he has, and he will, but not for long."

Kagome looked at her question,

"I shall tell you a secret, my Lord loves pain and when I let him do what he wished to me, his every desire his beast can think up" She moved closer to Kagome and bent to whisper in her ear "That will be enough from him to fill my womb with his hot seed."

Kagome blushed so hard, and her heart went wild.

The demoness pulled back, "You should have your heart checked, Miko, it betrays you."

With that, the demoness laughed and began to walk away. Kagome turned, fully intending to throw up a barrier to stop her so she could tell her what for, but the demoness foresaw it and grabbed Kagome's wrist and squeezed "I could break this wrist of your like a twig human."

Kagome grunted in slight pain, but her power came to her rescue, but a little late, her wrist was already bruising and hurting. The demoness released her, "You poor sad soul, how sweet, you care."

With that, she left laughing all the way.

Kagome clasped to the ground. "Oh no," She whispered, then covered her face with her hands. "I like him."

How could she be so stupid, how could she have been so blind? She had been lying to herself, and it took only mere moments for the demoness to stip all the lies and layers away.

It left only cold hard truth.

Kagome could see the heartbreak before it even began.

She gritted her teeth and shook her head, but she wasn't going to cry, and she would warn him.
