Hey all! I'm really bored and I guess I should update again.

Got good responses and so I guess this story is okay…?

Well anyways…I'm really sad, because both of my beloved chickens have gone missing, probably died. Someone musta killed them (that's where all the evidence is leading) or an animal ate them. I really think that someone killed them, because there were kids outside on the night of the murder. I've approached them and gave them a good telling but still they say that they didn't do it. I dunno…I guess I need the Pet Psychic or something.

*sigh* I love my chickens so much. They were the cute, fluffy, little white chickens.   I had a rooster and a hen. The hen was about to lay eggs and have lil baby chickies. I cried the alot. I've dealt with too much death this summer, and so this has probably had to be the worst summer vacation of my life. First my hamster dies, and now my 2 chickens.

Anyway, someone said my chapters were too short…sorrie…but I can't really write a good story and make long chapters at the same time….

And another thing, someone asked what year it is…hmmm…good question. Oh gosh, I'm stuck on that one. Right now, it's like in the present time…I dunno how it was 500 years ago…but just imagine that it was as modern as it is now, 500 years ago…=)

Thank you Shichan, for helping my get through with this chapter! I would have probably given up and this story if no one helped me, so once again…ARIGATO!

And yes, I would honored if you put my fic on your site!!!!

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

Chapter 4: Demands

                        Sesshoumaru slowly set Kagome down on her feet again and led her inside. Kagome cautiously followed the demon in.

            It was a marvelous home, with a blue-black marble floor and a high ceiling that was decorated by paintings of great demon wars and battles. Kagome looked around and saw that the house was very large and spacious, partly because there was barely any furniture around. She looked around for a little bit more, not realizing that Sesshoumaru was already about 20 feet ahead of her. And since she had that cut on her knee, she struggled to catch up.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, please wait!" she called.

Sesshoumaru turned and looked back and then stopped and patiently waited for her to catch up, although he had a twinge of annoyance in his eyes. Kagome limped to Sesshoumaru and he picked her back up.

            He walked for a while. He climbed up 2 set of stairs and continued walking until he came near an expertly carved, wooden door at the end of a large hallway. He opened the door and revealed a large bedroom with a large, plush bed. The whole room was painted richly, with light magenta painted walls, a gold painted ceiling, and instead of the usual blue-black marble, there was a soft, creamy white carpet. *Well at least he has some style* thought Kagome as she looked around the room. Sesshoumaru set Kagome rather roughly on the bed and told her in a commanding voice to "Stay there."

"I'll be back soon," he said, and he walked out the door and closed it, and Kagome heard something click. *He must have locked the door…*

            Kagome sat on the side of the bed, humming to herself, until she was sure that he was gone. As soon as she was sure, she limped to the door, just to make sure if it was locked, or not. It was.

            *I wonder why he did that…*

Kagome went to the bed again, thinking of how soft it was. *Well, won't do any damage to take a nap…* she thought, as she laid back and drifted off to sleep.

            Sesshoumaru went straight to the hot springs room. He had some built-in hot springs made, and some spells and barriers put on it, just for him. He need quiet, peace, especially after a long day. It was a place of refuge for him, to get away from everything else. There were 4 hot springs. 2 little ones, one medium size one, and one large one. There were trees surrounding the hot springs, and the sound of birds twittering could be heard, coming from a few of the birds that were placed there.

If one did not know, they would have thought that the place was a real hot spring, out in a real forest.

            Sesshoumaru stripped off his clothes (-writer faints-), and got into the largest hot spring. Here, in the hot springs, he could think to himself, and so he started to sort out the problems at hand.

*It's been so long since I've been here…* He dunked himself in the water.

*It's also been so long since you've had a woman…* said a voice in his head.

"Oh no…" he groaned out loud, it was that voice again. He had been talking to himself for the last 500 years when he was in jail, because there was no one else to talk to. He often argued with himself. (AN: Sessy's going mental….@_@)

The voice was true. It had been 500 years since he felt any female flesh. (AN: Yes…he was like that at age 15, what do you expect?)

*What about that Kagome girl? She's not bad looking…you know?*

*Agh…shut up! Shut up!* He rubbed his temples.

*I would never fuck a human girl.*

*It's been 500 years, and she's the only decent female around, unless you wanna go find a ho out on the street, but I don't think you wanna get caught and headed back to jail now, wouldn't ya?* said the voice. It was taking him over, Sesshoumaru was starting to agree with the voice.

*Shut the hell up, and get out of my head!* He shook his head hard and dunked himself in the water again.

"That's it! I'm finished!" he said loudly, and a few seconds later, a dark-haired servant girl came and set a fresh set of clothes and a towel in front of him. She bowed as she headed back to where she came from until Sesshoumaru stopped her. "You there, I don't remember you last time I was here, are you new?" he asked.

"Yes…I am, my Lord." She answered.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Kikyou Tanaka, my Lord," she said, keeping her eyes on the ground.

Her name struck a nerve. *Inuyasha's girlfriend…how is she still alive?*

Sesshoumaru studied the girl deeply. "You are still alive…why is that?" he asked.

"I…I…" She did not answer.

Finally, it dawned on Sesshoumaru on why she was still alive. "You've mated with my half-brother…huh?"

She nodded slowly.

A human mating with a demon usually granted the human longer life. *Feh…figures…my useless half-brother would mate with a human…just like his father.*

"You may leave," he gestured for her to go. She got up, bowed, and hurried away.

Sesshoumaru got out of the hot spring and got dressed.

~Meanwhile~

            "AHHHHHH!! GET IT OFF ME!!!! HENTAI!!!!"

Kagome sat up and threw the toad 'thing' that stood at the foot of her bed at the wall. It hit the wall and landed on its head. It quickly got up and raised its staff and charged at her.

"AHHH!!!! HELP!"

            Sesshoumaru heard the sound of screaming while he was on his way to check on the human girl. Suddenly, he heard an ear-piercing scream coming from the girl's room. He ran quickly towards it and, on pure instinct, kicked open the door.

            He saw Jaken, one of his servants, standing over the human girl, with his staff over her, ready to strike. Kagome was in a corner of the room, curled up into a tight ball. Kagome looked up fearfully and saw Sesshoumaru towering over her. She noticed that he as not wearing modern clothes, but he wore a plain, but elegant white kimono with white hakama pants, decorated with a red pattern on the collar and the sleeves. It was tied with a gold and purple obi. (AN: You know…the clothes he wears in the series minus the armor.)

"JAKEN!" he roared.

Jaken turned around quickly and 'tried' to hide his staff and look innocent. "Lord Sesshoumaru!"

"What are you doing, Jaken?" Sesshoumaru asked in a cold voice.

"Ahh, my Lord, I'm trying to shut up the human girl, she won't stop screaming!" he answered nervously.

"YOU BAKA! I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SCREAMING IF YOU WEREN'T AT THE FOOT OF MY BED…AND STARING AT ME! YOU HENTAI TOAD!" shouted Kagome.

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples again. "WOULD YOU STOP YELLING NOW?!!" he burst out.

Kagome stared in a stunned silence.

"Good…now Jaken…go stand on that window sill."

"What are you going to do, my Lord?" he asked nervously.

"Do it." He said in a cold voice.

Jaken grudgingly obeyed and hopped onto the window sill. Sesshoumaru walked over to him and landed a hard kick on Jaken's bottom.

"Sesshoumaru-samaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" He flew out of the window and up about 50 feet until hitting the ground, about 40 feet away from the mansion.

            Satisfied, he turned back to Kagome, who was still upset about the whole thing. Sesshoumaru helped her up as she muttered something about 'hentai toads.'

Kagome's cut had stopped bleeding, but it still needed some cleaning and bandages.

Sesshoumaru picked up Kagome again, but she started to try to wiggle out of his arms.

"Stop it! I can walk on my own now!" she protested.

"Fine then," he said as he dropped her on the ground.

"Oww! Why'd you do that, you bastard!" She said as she rubbed her butt.

*She does look cute when she's mad…* thought Sesshoumaru absently. *Wait. No.* He shook his head roughly, trying to get the thought out of his mind.

"Ok…I've got to get home now…it's getting late." She declared.

Before he could think, Sesshoumaru quickly said, "No, stay for dinner." *Damn…I didn't mean to say that…*

*Too late…now…oh well…it would be nice to have company for dinner.*

"I…don't think I should…I mean my knee, I've got to get it cleaned up," she protested.

"Don't worry, I can take care of it." He picked her up again. She protested, but finally gave up. Kagome leaned her head onto his chest and absentmindedly inhaled his scent. It was fresh and masculine, he had just taken a bath. *He smells so good…*

            Sesshoumaru could sense her arousal. Part of him was happy, knowing that he aroused her. The other part was disgusted, and he half wanted to drop her right there. He too, was getting aroused. *It has been so long since…I've…* his thoughts trailed off and turned into very hentai thoughts. *Agh…no…* Sesshoumaru tried to control his instincts the best he could. Sesshoumaru carried Kagome towards where his hot springs were.

            Sesshoumaru set her down at the water's edge.

"Here, go ahead and clean yourself up," he said.

Suddenly, 2 servants appeared out of no where and started to take Kagome's clothes off. Kagome protested, and pushed them quickly away. The 2 servants backed down and bowed.

"You hentai! I won't bathe with you just standing there!" She put her hands on her hips.

Sesshoumaru gave a small "feh" and walked out of the room. Kagome turned back to the servants. Her expression softened up.

"I don't need help bathing, okay?" she said softly to the humble servants.

"My Lady, we were only doing what we were told to do." Said a young and pretty dog youkai. She had long, black hair that reached her waist and large, soft, brown eyes.

"It's okay, but I can bathe by myself." Assured Kagome.

"Yes, My Lady, if there's anything you need, or when you are done bathing, please don't hesitate to call us, we will be just over there," said a sparrow youkai with short, golden hair, and large, gentle blue eyes as she pointed to a bench on the far right corner of the room.

"My name is Chihiro," said the dog youkai as she pointed to herself.

"And my name is Sonoko," added the sparrow youkai.

They both bowed deeply and walked to where the bench was.

            Kagome reluctantly started to take off her clothes and she cautiously stepped into the water.

The water felt so warm and good on her skin. Kagome started to scrub her skin with a towel when she noticed some bottles of fragrant smelling body wash. Kagome chose a soap that smelled like plumeria, lavender, and cherry. When she was finished washing, she leaned back on the side of the hot spring and relaxed. *I want to stay here forever* she thought, as she rested her eyes…for just a bit.

            "My Lady, please wake up! Lord Sesshoumaru wants you to be at dinner now!" pleaded Sonoko as she shook Kagome's shoulder gently.

Kagome opened her eyes and got out of the hot spring, half-awake and unaware of what was going on.

Chihiro had a towel and started to quickly dry Kagome off. Only now, Kagome was fully awake.

"What's going on?!" she demanded.

"My Lady, I'm sorry to wake you, but My Lord wants you at dinner now!" Said Sonoko urgently.

Chihiro handed Sonoko a silky, dark blue kimono and a golden obi. At first, Kagome thought that the kimono was for Sonoko, but when Sonoko started to put the kimono on her, she stopped and pushed the kimono away.

"What are you doing? Where are my old clothes?" she asked frantically.

"My Lord requests that you wear this kimono. It belonged to his mother." Explained Chihiro. Kagome shook her head and backed away.

"I can't wear that…" she said.

"Please, My Lord requests that you do. Your other clothes are being washed." Said Sonoko.

Kagome gave in, and she put on the kimono with help from Sonoko and Chihiro. When they were finished, the 2 servants stepped back and sighed.

"You look so beautiful…" said Sonoko as she clapped her hands together.

"Just like his mother…" said Chihiro.

"The dress fits you perfectly!" exclaimed Sonoko.

And indeed it did. The silk felt so soft against Kagome's skin, and fitted her very nicely, showing her delicate curves.

"We will accompany you to dinner." Declared Chihiro, as she took Kagome's hand and led her out the door.
