: Ohayo my readers!

Thanks for reviewing my story; you have no IDEA how much I love reviews...

~Worships reviewers~ Anyway, I think I need a LIL more reviews though...

Just to be on the safe side, y'know?

OK, back to me talking about my fic--

I think I might have other KagxPpls couples

Not that I don't like I/K and S/K,

But I just like to insert other ppls to spice things up!

Oh yea, and about me calling young fox's cubs...my bad, I knew they were kits!

I just wasn't thinking...plus I said I'm a BLOND--

When I meant to say I'm a blondE! I'm a girl....

Wow two mess-ups in one chap...~crysobweep~

Tralalalalala.........ok maybe I should start writing now.....

2-Possession

"What...?", Sesshoumaru whispered softly as his sensitive ears detected a light splashing noise emitting from the bathhouse near his bedroom.

'Who would be in the baths at this time of day..?'

His curiosity got the best of him, so slowly, he headed for the bathhouse.



Everywhere she turned, there he was, towering over her weak and abused body.

Just a sharp glance from his icy eyes was enough to send waves of pain through her body.

"What are you afraid of, precious?", he would ask her.

He knew exactly what she was afraid of, and he loved it. He craved power, the feeling of owning another.

He got what he had wanted, and Kagome hated it.

It left her with a bad taste in her mouth. It made her feel dirty; used.

"I'm not afraid of anything!", she would reply.

Of course that was never the answer her lord and master would have wanted.

So he would punish her until she knew exactly whom she feared.

Kagome stumbled backwards as she felt the impact of Naraku's hand against her face.

"Is anyone in here...?".

The call fell upon deaf ears.

The young servant was too engrossed in her memories to hear anything other than Naraku's scarring words.

"You are mine, bitch, and that means you will fear me!".

A firm grip on her chin brought Kagome back from her daze.

She looked up at her lord and shuddered at the possessive look on his face.

Possession, owning another being. Is that all demons cared about?

Or did it have more to do with pride and status.

"Say it! Say that you are mine!"

"I am yours, Master...", came Kagome's reply, her voice was wavering each second.

Naraku's lips twisted into a devilish smirk.

"Good...", he growled low in his throat as he pinned her to the cold wall of his chambers.

The demon lord's lips were roughly two centimeters away from her own when Kagome was shaken, none too gently, out of her dream state.



"Kagome...Kagome!", a blurry figured whispered harshly to her.

She was in her towel, sitting on the stone floor near one of the bathing pools.

When did she come here?

'Oh yeah, I came here after Shippou woke me...but...Why is Sesshoumaru-sama here?'

Kagome managed to find her voice, stuttering in a hushed tone, "Y-yes, Sesshoumaru-sama?".

For a second Sesshoumaru just sat there, looking her over with a slight hint of curiosity in his amber eyes.

"I came here when I heard someone splashing around in here, and since usually no one enters the baths around this time of the day I decided to investigate. But..."

He looked at her face intently.

"Are you feeling well? I don't want one of father's best servants to fall ill. You look very pale..."

Kagome blushed.

'It's odd, the one brother that is supposedly heartless is always so understanding, well unless I pluck his nerves of course...,' she thought tentatively.

"I-I'm fine...", she began, still feeling wary and disheveled after her daydream.

"I just didn't get much sleep last night...".

Sesshoumaru began to lean in closer to Kagome, but he jerked back quickly and regained his composure.

Slipping his emotionless mask on again, Sesshoumaru nodded his agreement and silently said his goodbyes as he slid out of the bathhouse.

The young girl heaved a long sigh.

'It is getting harder and harder to focus these days, I have a feeling this is going to be a long week...'



Shippou lay with Kagome on her bed, sleeping contentedly. Or at least the kit was.

Kagome was still trying to stay awake, for she knew that if she were to fall asleep it would only bring about more memories.

'Why does the past haunt me...? What is done is done, I shouldn't be---'.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Lord InuTaisho slowly slid open her lightweight wooden door.

"Taisho-sama!", Kagome squealed happily as she bounced out of her bed to run up to the demon lord.

She hugged him enthusiastically, overflowing with excitement.

"I missed you so much, master! Why did you have to leave me alone here alone with Inuyasha? You could have taken me with you to meet with the Lord of the Southern Lands! You said yourself that all the lords you have introduced me to have only good things to say of me!"

InuTaisho patted his servant's head, smiling at her childish antics.

"I know, I know. But you must understand, some of the young lords in the South are...not quite as subtle about their...needs and wants as the lords here are...".

Kagome just beamed up at her master and replied, "If I can handle Inuyasha I can handle anything!"

"Well, maybe next time you may come along.", the lord answered, smiling down at the cute little human girl.

He walked over to the window to look at the position of the sun momentarily.

"Kagome, I must finish speaking with you later, I have business to tend to before it is time for dinner to be served. Oh, and Inuyasha said he wished to speak with you also."

With that he left the room.

'...great...what does that immature puppy want now?"



"INUYASHA! INUYASHAAAAAA!"

Inuyasha stayed seated on his bed, waiting for the person whom was calling him.

"Inuyasha?", a soft voice asked from outside his bedroom door. "Are you in there?"

"Feh! Go away!"

"But Taisho-sama said you wanted to talk to me!", a huff could be heard from the servant outside.

Inuyasha's ears perked up suddenly. "Oh! It's you! I thought maybe you were Sango..."

'Man, my hearing is getting worse and worse...must be from that stupid baby kitsune yelling at me all the time!'

"Nope its me, Kagome!"

The half demon practically jumped off his bed and opened his door.

Kagome smiled sweetly at Inuyasha, but all he did was mumble incoherent things, then ask her to come in.

"So...", Kagome began, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "What did you want to talk about?"

Inuyasha blushed a deep crimson, which confused Kagome even farther.

"Well I...was wondering if..."

Ok, now Kagome was getting impatient.

She had taken time out of her busy day of serving and catering to, and all she was going to get for it was a stuttering hanyou?

Not likely.

Kagome glared holes through Inuyasha's blushing form.

"Ok! Spit it out! I have to go serve the warriors, help Sesshoumaru-sama in the study with who knows what, start dinner, make Shippou take bath which, I'll need another one too-"

"OK! GEEZ! I get your point!", Inuyasha looked down at his lap. "I was wondering if you would go down to the South with me, I have to meet with the Lords there as my father had to..."

Kagome blinked rapidly.

Hadn't Lord Taisho just said that she should wait to go to the South?

Shouldn't she listen to her Master's orders?

Should she not obey the one whom saved her?

'...................................................Screw that! I'm going on vacation!'



Kagome slowly made her way down the large stairs of Lord InuTaisho's manner, whistling a happy tune and carrying her heavy bags.

She all but fell down the steps when she heard a roar come from Taisho's room.



"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE IS COMING WITH US?!", Inuyasha's yell shook the whole building.

"Well...", InuTaisho began.

"Don't you agree that the more people whom come, the better chances of Kagome not being hurt?"

Inuyasha glared at his father. "You're too soft, old man! She can take care of herself!"

InuTaisho glared back, but more to mock his son.

"Yes, I do think that she can take care of herself, but..."

The Lord then had a brilliant idea. "Don't you remember that young lord from the South...Kouga was it?"

The half demon twitched at the all too familiar name.

"If Sesshoumaru were to be there you needn't worry about the any of the wolf-youkai bothering our little flower(~snkicker~), much less that one in particular."

"Fine!", Inuyasha huffed. Why did his father have to be so...right?

Just then a girl slammed open the large doors to Lord Taisho's quarters.

"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO LORD INUTAISHO IN SUCH A MANNER!", was the enraged servant's outburst.

InuTaisho and Inuyasha just stared on, blinking.

"......What?"

o.o -.- o.0 blink...

"Quit staring at me like that!"

The doors to the lord's quarters were once again opened, and there stood Sesshoumaru, Kagome's and his own bags in hand.

"Well are we going, or are you just going to sit and stare at her like a moron, dear brother?"



Ok ok, so there wasn't much Inu/Kag in this one!! ;_;

...But there will be!

Just as soon as I get more reviews! ~hint hint nudge nudge wink wink~

Sorry this chap was so short! But I'm tired...

BTW, the reason Kagome was so excited to see Taisho was cause he kinda 'saved her' from Naraku.

I'll go into more detail with that later on.

Oh damn, was there too much angst in this one? I need to start writing more humor!

Maybe its just cause I was tired when I wrote it...

Well, gotta go! I have to sleep! It is 1:18 AM right now...on Friday

But that's beside the point! Plus it was a short chap...I promise a long one next time!

Ok, you know what to do, push the pretty button! You know, the one that says, "REVIEW"?

Ok! Go to it! Review it!

Love + Peace
