"Is Kagome alright Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked.

"She will be fine right now we have to let the K- I mean her sleep." Sesshoumaru said hoping Rin didn't hear his slip up.

"Yeah! Sesshoumaru-sama you are the best daddy ever!" Rin screamed running over and hugging around the lord's knees.

"Ahem. Rin I need to put her in her chambers so would you kindly release me." Sesshoumaru said a little embarrassed.

Rin jumped back still smiling and skipped off in a different direction.

Sesshoumaru walked Kagome to her chambers and set her on the futon. He thought now was the perfect time to inspect the girl's features. He bent over her face and brushed some hair out of her face. Her nose perfectly shaped and her lips were the right shade of red. He remembered what her eyes looked like. Deep deep brown, very soft and showed all of her emtions. Sesshoumaru beside himself snorted. 'Showing emotions is like a death wish in battle. You know who, what and what the level of the attack is. This girl wouldn't last minute if a youkai was studying her eyes during a fight.'

Kagome shifted and slowly opened her eyes. They were unfocused so all she saw was two golden orbs hovering over her. Kagome shot up, big mistake. Sesshoumaru had no time to move and found her lips firmly planted on his. He jumped back and Kagome scooted so far away from him on the bed she fell off.

"Ouch! Damn that hurt like hell." Kagome said picking up the rock she had landed on up. She examined it and realized it was an agot. A very nicely carved one too. "Hmmmmm.back home people would pay good money for this." Kagome muttered to herself forgetting about Sesshoumaru.

"Wench do you so quickly let your guard down as to forget about me and let Jaken get a hit?" Sesshoumaru hissed.

"Um, well what exactly do you expect from me. I've never had any training." Kagome said trying not to blush.

"If you are going to look after Rin you need training. Damn you're more work then I thought." Sesshoumaru muttered to himself.

Kagome's aura flared and her eye's showed her anger. "I didn't ask you to take me! If anything I'd rather you leave me dead or better yet ALONE!" Kagome screamed as she forced down tears. Inuyasha was the cause of all her misfortunes. Everything bad that happened after she fell down the well. 'It's all his fault everything.' Kagome thought as tears rolled down her cheeks.

She buried her head in he covers trying to hide her tears from the lord.

'Did I just make her cry?' Sesshoumaru thought bewildered inside. Every tear that he could see made him flinch. This girl, Kagome, had activated something inside of him. An instinct to kill who dared hurt someone so pure hearted and kind. 'What the hell am I thinking! It's just a girl a lowly nigen onna. Nothing more. I won't let myself fall to my fathers level. His foolishness resulted in his demise but I intend to reign over the west for eons.' He thought hardly. The little softness his face had regained the coldness.

Sobs wracked Kagome's body. Everything was going to hell in a fruit basket. She was in love, was betrayed by the one she loved and is now in the Taiyoukai of the Wests' home against her will.

Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru with fresh tears falling from her chocolate eyes. "Why?" She whispered before she hid once again in the blanket.

Sesshoumaru felt his heart break. He probed her mind and found out what that half-breed had done and everything else that happened since Mistress Centipede. It was all so emotional he was thrown out of his chair by all of the memories. Kagome yelped and slowly walked over to him.

'Oh my god what am I doing he kidnapped me and now I'm helping him. Damn my good heart.' Kagome thought as she touched the stub of his arm. He whipped the blood from his nose and looked at the girl who dared to touch him.

"This is your own bloods fault." Kagome mused to herself stroking the stub. As she did so her hands glowed pink and slowly the arm grew back. Soon there was an arm there. Just like before markings and all.

Sesshoumaru examined his arm as Kag crawled back on the bed waiting for death. After all what ningen dared get that close to him without asking and on purpose?

Sesshoumaru looked over to Kagome and got off the ground. "Wench." He watched Kagome flinch at the name but ignored it. "Why have you restored my arm when the one you're courting cut it off?" He asked sternly.

"I'm am not f****ing courting your half-brother!!! Besides you look better with 2 arms." Kagome's hand flew up to her mouth when she realized what she had said. She tightly closed her eyes as he stalked over to her expecting the worst.

"Open your eyes wench." He said coldly. Kagome did so and found not a claw descending on her put him gently taking her hand. She watched as he drew a crescent moon on the back of her hand. It left a trail of blood, which Sesshoumaru licked off.

Kagome felt the hot trail off his tongue and wanted to pull away but feared for herself and stayed out.

When he pulled his mouth away nothing was left but the scar. "Kagome Higurashi I am in your debt and have to protect your life at all costs until I am dead or you ask me of something great importance." He said his voice lacking emotion.

"How do you know my last name?" Kagome said narrowing her eyes at Sesshoumaru.

He smirked and Kagome inched back. "That is none of your concern Kagome of the 21st century. Tomorrow we will begin your training so be prepared I will not go easy on you." He said amusement hinting in his icy tone.

Kagome stepped forward and said, "I didn't ask you to and I take it you invaded my mind and that is not going to continue." She finished defiantly.

Sesshoumaru pinned her to a wall by her throat. "I may not be able to kill you because of the Danegrave (that's what it's called) debt but if you push me far enough I will make you wish you were dead wench." He hissed as his claws dripped with acid.

Kagome looked him straight in the eyes unwavering. She would not back down to someone who wouldn't kill her. She felt the acid burning the tender flesh of her neck but didn't even blink. "Suru tokoro osaki ni dozo, Taiyoukai no sono Ni-shi. Watashi suru yuki ga aru anata. (Translation: Go ahead, Great Demon of the West. I dare you). Kagome bit out just as coldly.

Sesshoumaru blinked one, twice, three times then the red seeped into his eyes. 'HOW DARE SHE!!! THE BITCH!' He squeezed harder expecting a scream but none came not even a whimper. She glowed a faint pink and Sesshoumaru was blown back into a wall by a powerful mind blast. It hit him hard and said 'I will not back down.' He snarled and walked out of the room pondering the miko that dare draw blood from him.

His hand rubbed the back of his nead and came back sticky with blood. He growled again. "Stupid wench. I will teach her her place forcibly. The bitch had the gaul to attack this Lord inside his own home whne she is in fact a guest." Sesshoumaru muttered to himself.

"You know it's unhealthy to talk to yourself." Said an all to familiar cocky voice.
