IMPORTANT:
Gomen nasai, minasan! This was originally supposed to be a humor story, but now it's becoming dark and brooding . . . And Sesshomaru's lines are scaring the poor authoress. Most likely because her alter-ego is supplying her with them, but that's beside the point. Yeah.
So, while it will still be funny at times, it is becoming creepy. . Gomen! If you're looking for more humor, I'd suggest you leave now. . . Oro.

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

Sesshomaru glared at Kagome, and suddenly became very interested in his claws.
"Human, you devised this plot to trap me! You shall pay for your insolence!" Kagome screamed. Tokojin was halfway out of it's sheath when the door to the shrine opened and Kagome's mother burst in, bowing profusely.
"P...please don't k-k-kill my daughter, Sessh...Sessho...maru-sama..."
Sesshomaru regarded her coldly (as always) and said,
"Don't worry, you'll be with her soon enough." He stroked Tokojin, and turned his attention back to Kagome.
Kagome searched frantically for something to get her away from her doom.
"But...but I'm not worthy to be killed by you, Sesshomaru-sama!" she said, bowing low.
"Fool. I have killed thousands of bandits, the lowest of the low. What would make you unworthy of my sword?" he said quietly, advancing slowly, sword in hand. Kagome was backed up against the well, sputtering.
"I...I, um...Umm...I..."
Just then, an annoying voice broke the intensity.
"Gwak!" it yelled, "I must find Sesshomaru-sama!"
"Hi, Jaken-sama!" said an orange and white rocket, going into the well.
"Rin, get back here!" Sesshomaru called, sheathing Tokojin, apparently having forgotten to murder Kagome.
"Yes sir!" Rin climbed the ladder, Jaken in tow.
Seeing that Sesshomaru was preoccupied at the moment, and seemingly had forgotten his intention to chop Kagome into tiny bits, Kagome began to quietly climb the stairs, hoping that a certain demon lord wouldn't notice.
Unfortunately, the demon lord quite obviously did notice. He strode over and picked her up by the neck (like the time when he was about to poke Inuyasha's eye out). Kagome struggled, for the ability to breathe, and to keep Sesshomaru's poisonous talons away from her blood vessels.
"Idiot human," Sesshomaru said softly, dropping Kagome into a crumpled heap at his feet. Amusement glinted in his eyes as he gazed down at the terrified girl, "Do you truly believe that you can escape me?" He gestured at the open door, which was growing darker every minute.
"It is nightfall. Lead us to your chamber." He took Rin's hand (Rin had learned to stay out of stuff like this) and strode towards the door, Jaken trailing behind. Kagome's mom, who had been standing silently in horror, raised a quivering finger and pointed at Jaken.
"That thing's not coming into my house."
Sesshomaru looked amused.
"As you wish," he said.

In the hall, they encountered Sota, who promptly turned white at the sight of Sesshomaru. Rin, on the other hand, turned a different color; bright red. She clung to Sesshomaru's leg, making the demon stop walking.
"What is it, Rin?" Rin pointed at Sota.
"Do you want me to kill him for you?" said Sesshomaru, as calmly as he were talking about the weather. Rin shook her head furiously, and Sesshomaru looked bored.
"If you insist," he said.

When they entered Kagome's room, Kagome immediately said,
"You can have the bed, Sesshomaru-sama." Sesshomaru glanced coldly at her.
"I do not need sleep," he said, striding over to a chair by the window.
"Then, um, then Rin can have it."
"Rin will sleep on my . . . fluffy thing." (A/n: What the heck is it?) Rin happily bounced over to the chair on which Sesshomaru was sitting, causing Kagome to sweatdrop.
"Er . . . " Kagome had absolutely no intention of sleeping in Sesshomaru's presence. She didn't want to die yet. She turned off her light switch, and sat nervously upon her bed. She was going to pretend to sleep all night, but run if Sesshomaru showed any sign of wanting to kill her. However, she had been lying there for about ten minutes, when Sesshomaru spoke, rather quietly.
"You're still awake, girl."
"I - I'm not tired," Kagome lied quickly, but she couldn't stifle a huge yawn. The demon laughed softly, silhouetted by the light of the full moon. He stood up, setting the fast asleep Rin on the chair, and before Kagome could bolt, she felt the flat side of Tokojin against her throat.
"Girl, remember that if I want to kill you, it doesn't matter if you're awake or asleep." Kagome's stomach gave a horrible lurch as she realized that this was quite true. She forced herself to sleep, happily and dreamlessly.

(Random A/n: Why is my mom singing Christmas songs in random germanic languages?)

Kagome woke to her bed bouncing up and down, and a child's voice saying her name repeatedly.
"Go 'way, Sota," she muttered groggily. She'd had a horrible dream, about Sesshomaru being stuck in her time. She pulled her pillow over her head, and made to go back to sleep. However, this was not to be. The pillow lifted above her, and the child's voice said,
"If you don't get up, Sesshomaru-sama says he'll wake you with Tokojin!" Kagome sat bolt upright. This was not what she wished to wake up to. Sesshomaru looked highly amused at the prospect of waking her with Tokojin. Rin was jumping on Kagome's bed.
"Get up, human," said Sesshomaru, his cold amber eyes glinting in the light of the newly risen sun. Kagome immediately obliged, and stood up.
She realized that she had been sleeping in her now-very-wrinkled uniform.
"Um, would you guys leave while I change my clothes?" she asked nervously. Sesshomaru swept out of the room, Rin on his heels, and Kagome shut the door behind them. She quickly changed, and realized; she could escape through the window! She opened it and sat on the windowsill, when a hand grabbed her leg and pulled her down.
She looked at the owner of the hand.
It was Sesshomaru. Kagome silently swore as he unsheathed Tokojin and backed her against the wall. He held Tokojin to her forehead, and spoke.
"Girl," he said softly, "I know your plans. You will not escape me." (A/n: How he got good at mind reading is completely beyond me.) Her forehead slowly trickled blood, and he pulled his sword away from her and sheathed it. Kagome collapsed in a sobbing heap at his feet, and he gazed coldly down at her.
"Remember, human, you are only alive as long as I wish you to be."
