I do not own Inuyasha.. But I wish I did! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 3: "What do you mean I have to stay?!"

***Kagome's P.O.V
I woke up in a cold sweat, I had one of the worst nightmares that I have ever had. In my dream there was nothing but blood, people dying and the woman who claimed that I held her soul. As I sat up I began to panic, Where was I? Where did that man who took me go? As if he was reading my mind, the large wooden door swung open and he walked in almost silently. Realizing that I was in a bed I grabbed the sheets and wrapped them around me, mabey it would serve as more protection. "Who are you?" I demanded, I watched as his golden eyes looked over me, making me shudder. " I am Lord Sesshoumaru, Lord of the western lands." He looked so feminine, it was kind of scary. "Why did you take me away from my village?!" Why I was shouting is a mystery to me, I guess its just the fact that mabey I should have died with my village trying to protect them, and let that woman take my soul.Mabey I wouldn't feel like something was missing. "I took you because you would have died otherwise." "Mabey I wanted to die!" I blinked taken back by my sudden outburst. Where did that come from? I had no intent of dying now that I think about it. "You wish to die? I can arrange that." His voice was mono toned and the only thing that showed emotions on him were his eyes. I inched back making a small noise when I hit the headboard of the bed. "Humans." I heard him mutter, "Hey! Not like demons are any better!" Mabey I shouldn't have said that because as soon as I blinked he was right in front of me, his hand wrapped around my neck squeezing. "Do you wish an early death young Miko?" Shaking my head no he dropped me unceremoniously to the ground. I rubbed my backside, glaring daggers at him as he just watched me. " So Sesshoumaru, Why exactly did you save me?"

***Sesshoumaru's P.O.V. She's asking me why I saved her, Why did I save her exactly? I could say that she could help me bargain for Inuyasha's sword. Yes that would work for now. As I told her I watched her fidget. "I'm nothing but an item?! Well thanks." I hid a smile, so arrogant. " Breakfast will be soon, clean yourself off and don't be a moment late." I turned around, and quickly made my way out the door, leaving it open behind me. As I walked down the hall I heard her yell 'baka'. As I walked to my study I slowed down. Why did I save her again? Was it just because I was enticed by her beauty? No, because then I would be no better than my brother and his wench, and I Sesshoumaru, was better than him on many counts. When I reached my study Jaken came stumbling in, stupid toad, I still don't see why I keep him around. "Mas-Master Sesshoumaru!" I raised a brow sending a sideways glance at him, "what is it Jaken?" "Master Sesshoumaru there is a human girl residing in one of the guest rooms yelling about a clean Kimono!" I watched as he swung the two-headed staff he carried around, "Do you wish me to get rid of her master?" I shook my head, "No Jaken. Just bring her a kimono and leave her be. She is a guest." I wanted to laugh seeing the expression on his face, "but master! She is nothing but a human! Have you sunk so low as to spending your time with humans?!" I was glad that he realized what he said before I could do anything because as soon as I shifted he began hitting himself over the head with his staff. " I'm sorry Master Sesshoumaru, please forgive my outburst it will not happen again!" I nodded, waving a hand in the air signaling him to leave, I needed to think of the reason why I took the young miko Kagome.

****Kagome's P.O.V.

I waited for the toad man whom brought me a clean Kimono to leave. "Would you leave so I may get dressed?!" He looked at like me like I was filth, he better feel lucky that he was out of reach at the moment. I reached over grabbing one of the pillows and throwing it at him. The door was open so when it hit him he was thrown out the door. I jumped up and slammed it closed, locking it. I leaned against the door, sliding it down, sighing quietly. "What am I supposed to do now?" I looked at the window which was open.
Mabey I should just leave, I mean I'm only going to be used here. I nodded and jumped up, throwing the kimono towards the bed I walked over to the window and onto the small balcony. "No." I looked around, no way I was going to be able to get away. It was at least a 50-ft drop if even that low! I fell to my knees, a single tear falling, so now I was going to die and there was no way out..

****No P.O.V

Kagome began to slowly weep, silent tears streaming down her face. Hiding her face in her hands her body shook, "What am I supposed to do?" As the young miko cried she didn't hear the servant youkai walk in, but she felt it when he hit her on the head with his staff. "Human!" Kagome turned almost growling at him, with a strangled gasp the servant stepped back before glaring down at her, "Breakfast is ready. Master Sesshoumaru does not like to wait!"

Standing up quickly Kagome grabbed him by his head, her small hand squeezing tight just to hold on, with a simple movement she tossed him over her shoulder and over the edge of the balcony. When she heard him hit the ground with a faint thud, she left he room quickly.

Walking down a seemed endless hallway, she came to a pair of large oak doors, pushing them open she stepped inside, a brow raised. "Well I guess I found the dining hall."

Looking at the rather large table in front of her covered in food of all sorts, she felt and heard her stomach give a large growl.

****Kagome's P.O.V

Oh.The food all looks so good. I looked around, there was no one around, and mabey no one would notice if I just took a piece of chicken. I walked over to the table and silently snatched a piece, shoving it in my mouth, chewing and swallowing it quickly.

I mad a 'MMMMM' sound, once again unaware of the presence behind me tell I felt a clawed hand grab my shoulder and turn me around. I almost fell over in shock as I looked into a pair of golden eyes. It was Sesshoumaru.

"What are you doing?"

I stood up straight, and even though I was at least a head and a half shorter than him, I glared at him. "I was eating. Is that a problem?" I don't why I was talking with such an attitude, he could just be off with me anytime.

"No one eats at my table before I do." He growled at me, his voice low and dangerous, causing my to shudder briefly. I bowed my head, not knowing what else to do. I looked out of the corner of my eye and watched as he walked past me, his clothing dragging bellowing out behind him. I heard the noise of a chair being dragged across the hard wood floor.

I looked up, glancing at him. My eyes narrowed as I watched him, servants coming from the dark corners, almost as if they appeared magically, and place food on his plate. I watched as they then began putting food on the plate at the other end of the large table, which must be mine.

Sesshoumaru took a bite out of his food, then looked at my, signaling with his eyes for me to go sit down. I don't understand why I was doing exactly what I was told, this man kidnapped me, and now he's feeding my like I'm royalty! I sat down, and stared at my plate, What was he planning? I still want to know why he took me.

Looking up I quickly looked down, his intense golden eyes were looking right into mine. I stared at the food on my plate, it had been a while sense I had eaten.Why am not eating? I groaned almost silently as my stomach gave a loud growl, showing that I was truly hungry. I picked up the golden fork on the side of the plate, and began to slowly eat, not looking up from plate the entire time, but feeling his eyes apon me, not moving away once.
