Kagome slowly opened her eyes. She knew exactly where she was and how she had gotten there. Mainly because the situation with Inuyasha in the forest had been replaying itself over and over again. And instead of waking up sad or scared, she woke up completely and utterly angry.

Kagome sat up off the bed, her head swimming slightly and looked around. She was in a different room, with no balcony this time but there were windows. One was open and as she went to look out of it she saw that it overlooked the ocean and that there were sharp rocks jutting out of the shore below.

"Smart." She said as she narrowed her eyes. She went to the small door at the other side of the room and opened it, unsurprised to see Ojai there.

"Take me to Sesshomaru, NOW!" she demanded. He smiled and nodded and began walking down the hallway, Kagome in tow. They took many twist and turns into the corridor and sometimes went through doors that led to other hallways.

By the time Ojai had stopped in front of two large oak doors, Kagome's anger had subsided a bit. Yet that didn't stop her from busting the doors open and marching in. Only then, she wished she hadn't.

There Sesshomaru was. Shirtless and sweaty. His back was turned to Kagome but she could still make out a well-built form under his long white soft hair.

Kagome turned on the balls of her heels and looked at Ojai angrily, even though she was blushing.

Before she could get one angry word out of her mouth he spoke before her.

"You said you wanted me to take you to him now. So I obeyed. Right now he's in training." He said. Then he winked and was gone.

"Your awake." Sesshomaru said calmly from behind. Kagome turned around and faced him, blushing more furiously when the first thing she saw was his bare muscled chest just inches away from her. Instead of looking up her gaze went steadily down from there.

That is until he picked her chin up with his hand and whipped her head up to meet his eyes. "I'm up here." He said.

Kagome suddenly remembered she was angry with him and slapped his hand away. "YOU!" she shouted. "You take me back there right now and let me get my daughter back!"

Sesshomaru turned away from her and picked up a sword off a small table near him. Examining the blade he gave a small firm nod in approval and turned back to Kagome.

"I suggest you calm down and change your tone when speaking to your Lord."

"SCREW CALM!" Kagome shouted back not even caring that he held a dangerously sharp katana.

"You can't just pick me up and own me! I have my own life and I am my own person! So screw calm and screw you too!" she said.

She turned towards the door and began walking but was thrown aside ungracefully to the wall. Sesshomaru pinned his body up against hers and held her there. He moved his face in so close that their noses were almost touching.

"Never talk to me in such a way and turn your back. I am your better and you shall show me the utmost respect. Furthermore you are in MY lands making you MY possession. I shall do with you, whatever I please." He said in such a low menacing voice that it sounded like a growl. Infact his body was gently vibrating with a deep sound.

Kagome being so close to him felt his warmth against her skin and shuddered slightly. What had she gotten herself into?

-------------- -------------------- ----------------------- ---------------- -------- --------------------------

"But I want to meet mommy now!" Anomie yelled for at least the twentieth time.

Inuyasha had his ears flattened against his head and his face in his hands. "Your acting like a spoilt brat, you know that?"

"And your acting like a-" she suddenly clamped her hand over her mouth. Her mother told her not to say bad words or else she's get something. And she didn't want it.

Inuyasha's ears perked up at the sudden quietness. He lifted his face up and stared at his daughter. "Why so quiet now?" he asked suspiciously.

"Mommy said no more being bad." Anomie said, unclamping her mouth. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"Figures she'd smother you with her goody two shoes motherly nature. Can't people have freedom of speech around kids?" then his ear perked in a direction to his left and he sniffed and smiled.

"She's here." Inuyasha said happily, standing up.

"Who?" Anomie asked innocently curious.

"Your new mother." ----------------- ----------------------------------------- ---------------- ---------- ------------------------

Sesshomaru backed off Kagome and took a step backwards so that she could stand on her own weight again.

His blood was rushing at the near closeness of her. Her scent washing over him and exciting him. He should just skip all the bull shit and take her right there and now, but he had more self-control than that. And there were a few more questions that needed to be answered.

Such as why did her scent make his heart skip a beat and his body shakes involuntarily? Why had she given birth to a child, with a man who did not love her or take her as his wife? And why in the hell was he sparing her pathetic human life? Usually he would have killed her without a second thought. She was dangerous. She made his head spin and his senses dull. She was loud and disrespectful. So why did he bring her here? Why did he deny her and himself the privilege and relief of setting her free and making sure their paths never crossed again?

"Look," Kagome said tiredly. She had been through enough. All she wanted to do now was relax. "All I want is my daughter. I need to know if she's safe or not." She said with pleading eyes.

"Do you really think Inuyasha would kill his own child?" Sesshomaru asked bored. She was being stupid about the situation. Her daughter was with her real father. And hadn't he heard that Inuyasha promised to take care of her? So why in hell was she fretting?

"Inuyasha is a careless blind bastard and there is no way I'm letting my daughter be around his precious Kikyo." She said somewhat spitefully. Was she jealous?

"Humph." Sesshomaru said finally understanding. "You're envoius. All you want is to receive attention from my brother. The kind he gives to his own wench. You care nothing about the girl but you merely use her as a way to seek attention."

Kagome's eyes flashed angrily. "That's untrue! I love my daughter with my heart and soul! She's all I have left and I'll be damned if I'll give her up to the likes of him." She said. She gave Sesshomaru a determined look. " I would rather die first."

Sesshomaru suddenly held the tip of his katana near her heart. She stiffened considerably and her mouth set into a grim line as she stared at the sword. She backed herself against the wall and breathed slowly.

"Care to test that theory out?"

----------------- -------------------------------- ------------------------- ------ ---------------------------- Kikyo was crouched down on her knees sitting in front of Anomie. They were staring at each other quite seriously. Actually Kikyo was smiling but Anomie was staring. Inuyasha was standing nearby expecting them to hit it off immeadiatly.

"Who the hell is she?" Anomie asked her father, still looking at Kikyo.

"Your new mother, Princess. This is Kikyo but you can call her mommy or mom." He said simply.

This time Anomie looked up to her father. "But.she's not my mommy. She's ugly. She smells different and I don't like her." She said truthfully.

"Anomie!" Inuyasha yelled warningly.

"It's alright, Inuyasha." Kikyo said still smiling. "She'll warm up to me in time." She said standing up and hugging him.

Anomie rolled her eyes. Right then and there she didn't care what her mother would say or do to her. She wanted to use every colorful word that she had ever heard from her father.

"Listen BITCH!" she said to Kikyo. Both adults turned and looked at her, shocked. "I don't give a DAMN who you are. You are not my mommy, never was my mommy and never will be my mommy so you can just kiss my ASS and go to HELL." She then turned to her father. "Get this WENCH out of my FUCKING face before I make a new hole for her to breathe through."

Then she smiled cutely and laughed. Inuyasha's eye was twitching in anger and surprise, while Kikyo narrowed her eyes at the young girl.

"Now I am positive she is your daughter, Inuyasha." Kikyo said smiling at him. "I only wish that I was her true mother. For such a mouth like hers would never speak if I could discipline the child."

Inuyasha scowled down at his daughter and grabbed her wrist. He began pulling her towards a tree stump that was close by.

"No need." He said. "I'll do it for you."

Anomie gulped and tried to pull away. She was really in for it now.
