Yay I got reviews! Lol. Even if I hadn't I woulda still updated. I love this story. I just think it fits well for Inu and Kag. Well anways. Here's chapter three. -=Shakes her head while laughing=- Poor, poor sesshy. (My msn screwed up so I didn't know anyone reviewed! Thanks guys.)

As the legend would have it, there was a reminder to the beast of his curse. A single rose, the color of what would seem black, though in reality was just a deep purple. If the beast could love, and obtain love in return, before the last petal fell, the curse would be lifted and all would be well.

But you don't believe in fairy tale legends, do you?

The halls were dark and quiet as she slowly padded her way down them. She had slipped out of her room hoping to find something to intrigue her. She looked down each hallway, into each room. But found nothing she really liked.

"Kagome! What are you doing!" A voice chirped.

The little blue bird known as Sango swooped down onto her shoulder. She pecked lightly at Kagome's head.

"You should not be out roaming the halls! Master could get very angry." Sango warned.

Kagome giggled softly. "Oh he doesn't have to know."

She stopped in her tracks and looked up. Something drew her to that hallway. The sound of scampering caught her ears. Coming down the hall after her was Miroku and Shippou. It sure was a sight to see. A baby fox and a raccoon speeding their way towards her.

'My lady Kagome you mustn't be out here! Sango how could you let her!?" Miroku scolded.

"No I just caught up to her! I was warning her of---"

Kagome stepped forward up the stairs. "What's…up there…"

"Ah!! It's nothing, nothing at all in the west wing!" Miroku snapped.

"So that's the west wing! I wonder what he's hiding up there." She said as she stepped up farther.

"You idiot!" Sango screeched down at the raccoon.

"There is nothing of your interest! Come on now, we have uhh an armory room! Umm we have a ballroom, we even have a huge library!" The coon said nervously.

Kagome's eyes lit up. "You have a library!?" She said in glee.

"Oh yes! It has mountains of books to!" Sango sung.

The three creatures ran ahead of their human friend to guide her to the library. She stepped towards them about to follow when something pulled at her curiosity. She left them behind and headed for the west wing.

Her breathing grew heavy, and thick. She could actually see it. Certainly there was a fire place in this wing. Her feet twitched and drew back with each cold step she took. Yet even though this small warning came to her, she didn't care. She wanted to know what he was hiding.

A small light shone out into the hallway. She pushed open a busted wooden door and entered the room. It was…..trashed. Someone had come in here and torn it to pieces. Kagome looked around her curiosity becoming way to strong for her own good. A picture hung on the wall. It was torn and hung, flimsy from it's frame. Kagome grabbed a corner of it and lifted it up trying to piece it together when something caught her eye. She turned to see a beautiful, yet odd sight.

There on a small, round, metal table was a glass case. Inside of it was a rose. A dark, black rose. No…it was purple. A dark, deep purple. Resting next to it was a round clear orb. Kagome carefully lifted up the glass case and set it down next to her. She was captivated by it's beauty. Her fingers acted on their own. Reaching for it. Wanting to touch it. It was so beautiful.

The heart within her leapt when he came. He grabbed the case quickly and put it over the rose. Kagome moved back, she had…done something…forbidden.

"What are you doing in here!?" He growled.

"I was just---"

"GET OUT!!!!!!" He roared with such ferocity, bearing his fangs and all.

Kagome turned on heel and sped from the room. She ran down the hall, down the stairs to the door. She grabbed her coat and reached for the door handle.

"Kagome where are you going?" Shippou barked.

"I can't stay here any longer. I'm sorry…" She said and left.

She ran down the beaten path to the gates. The newly fallen snow that pressed against her feet was unnoticeable to her. Her heart pounded, harder and harder within her chest. She ran down the same path she had taken to get here. She didn't care if she had to go back to her old boring life, it didn't matter, she couldn't stay there with him.

The howling broke the eerie silence. Kagome stopped in her tracks. They surrounded her once again. It was the same pack, with the same rabid leader. She held her body still hoping they would just turn and leave. One leapt forward at her. She quickly grabbed a heavy tree branch and swung it at the creature. It yipped as it was thrown back and hit a tree. Kagome swung the branch around at all the wolves in warning. It did no good. They merely growled at her as if laughing in mock.

"Leave me alone!" She screamed.

At the sound of her screeching voice the wolves all attacked. Kagome held her arms up in fright. When she heard a loud roar and felt no pain she looked up.

There stood that horrible beast. He was fighting back the wolves. They bit and clawed at him, which he did to them in return. He grabbed at a wolf on his back and threw it into a tree. It yipped and ran off. Soon they all followed their injured brother.

The beast turned his gaze to Kagome. He huffed out once, the fog rolling from his nostrils. He fell to the ground, unconscious. Wounds covered his furry body. Blood seeped from them onto the once pure snow.

Kagome ran to his side and knelt down. This was all her fault. She removed her cloak and wrapped it around his body.

"I'm sorry….." She whispered.

The room was lit up by the fire in the back center of the room. Inu Yasha sat in his chair, Kagome at his side.

"This never would have happened if you hadn't come out there!" Kagome barked at him.

"I wouldn't of had to if you hadn't run off!" He barked back.

"Well you shouldn't have yelled!"

"You shouldn't have been in the west wing!!"

"And you should learn to control your temper!!!!" She snapped.

Silence befell them. The door creaked open and in came the cutest little dog Kagome had ever seen. His fur was white as snow and fluffy as ever. He had long fluffy ears. One fell somewhat limp while the other stood straight up. He had a long fluffy tail. His eyes were a beautiful bright blue. And on his forehead was a glowing dark blue moon emblem. In his jaws was a small bowl of hot water mixed with the herbs Kagome had instructed to be put in. The dog dropped the bowl into her hands and stared up at her.

"Well aren't you just adorable!" She squealed.

She reached out to pat his head when he snapped his jaws at her and backed away.

"I am Lord Sesshou-Maru! I am not so low as to be "pet" by a human!" He barked and turned tail and left the room.

Kagome shook her head lightly and laughed. She dipped the rag into the medicine water and rung it out. She grabbed Inu Yasha's arm and began to pat at it. He growled and pulled his arm away.

"That hurt!" He growled.

"Oh hold still baby!"

She grabbed his arm once again, she looked up at him and softened her gaze.

"By the way…" She began, "Thank you…for saving me."

Inu Yasha looked down at her his own gaze softening.

"Your welcome."

Mmm, yea. I love it! I really want to finish this fic. It's so sweet. Remember my good friends to R&R! (Poor poor sesshy! He's a wittle doggie. He's gonna be funnier in the next chappie.)
