Guardian Angel

The one looking through the bushes kept staring at the familiar beauty before him. Couldn't quite figure out where he'd seen her before.

'Huh? That is a youki. Although a very faint one, not well hidden from me, but then again no one can hide their youki from me very well. Why do they have to disturb me when I'm bathing?'

Groan Ahem

"You can come out now, whoever you may be. I know you're there."

'How did she know that I was here? I hid my scent and my youki. She must be powerful. Like duh you baka, you can sense it.' He warred in his head but not letting any of his thoughts show on his face and so stepped out from his hiding place to face the source of all his questions.

"Hello, what were you doing spying on me?! Don't you know better that that is very not gentleman like?!" -Kagome.

"My reasons are my own and besides, you are on my lands. I may go and look where ever I want to." he said in such an emotionless voice with that matter of fact tone he knew he was pushing her buttons.

'Ooh that jerk! How dare he! And he's of the royal... hé, I know him from somewhere. Oh my God, I can't believe it.'

"Sesshoumaru." Tears sprang to her eyes. Forgetting about modesty she jumped out of the water and sprinted towards him and gave him a fierce hug.

"Miss, do you have any idea who I am?" he tried to pry her off of his person.

"Of course, you're prince Sesshoumaru the first pure blooded demon son of Lord Inutaisho of the western lands. Or the short version Grins Fluffy-sama."

"It can't be, Kagome? But they said you were dead."

"Have they ever found my body?"

"No. How have you been doing? It's been such a long time. So long I almost forgot your face, your scent, but never your eyes. They've always haunted me in my dreams."

"Why didn't you come looking for me?"

"I, I couldn't." and he looked away.

"You couldn't or you didn't want to?" she asked a bit mad. "For years have I lived with this wolf tribe, in matter of fact your best alliance and you didn't know I was here? How is that possible?"

"First of all I wasn't informed that you were here, second of all my father died just a few months before your parents were assassinated when I was still a pup and had to rule all of the western lands by myself. It wasn't easy fending off greedy family members. It has been hell since then. How would you feel when you have to carry that burden at such a young an age? Do you know how many cousins had to die by my hands? At least you were kept save and had elders to look after you."

"What do you mean? Where was your mother."

"She left after your last visit. After that half breed was born. She couldn't take the heartbreak my father was causing her." He said it with such hatred it send a chill down her spine. Never had she seen him radiate such negativity before. It scared her in a way.

After saying that he looked lower than her face. Realization hid her like a bucket of cold water. That Hentai! He was looking at her breasts shamelessly. Out of nowhere a fist came and knocked Sesshoumaru in an oak tree and rendered him unconscious.

"That should teach you not to look at me that way. Shame on you." Kagome said.

While he was knocked out she decided to get dressed before someone else would see her in her nude state. She wore a dark blue almost black in color silk kimono with here and there a few silver embroidered stars and on the back a silver crescent moon. She also wore a dazzling white obi with it. Next she combed her hair and let it loose to further dry in the wind.

When she was done she turned around to see Sesshoumaru looking at her. But he wasn't just looking at her in matter of fact he was glaring. Kagome put an innocent face and said:

"What? It's not my fault you got knocked out."

"Woman, don't do that ever again."

"I do have a name and it is Kagome, learn it, live it and love it."

"Don't tell me what to do."

"It seams I have to 'cause someone doesn't know how to talk to a lady properly."

"Likewise wench."

"Looking for trouble Fluffy?"

"Don't call me that."

"Then you shouldn't call me that either."

They growled at each other. Sparks of crackling energy flew around them both. Neither one wanted to submit to the other. Lost in their staring contest they didn't notice the nearing pack of worried wolves. Not till Kouga came and saw them together.

"Kagome, stay away from him!" he screamed.

But they suddenly disappeared without even acknowledging him and the rest. Blinding light suddenly erupted out of nowhere from above. When it faded everyone looked up to see Kagome and Sesshoumaru delivering blows at each other.

Everyone was stunned at the grace and swift movements they made while fighting. But then again by the way Kagome and Sesshoumaru were laughing and growling playfully they weren't really fighting but rather playing like pups.

The wolves were howling and barking for Kagome to win. Everyone was having such a great time watching two very powerful demons fighting each other. Never have they seen such grace and elegance before.

But it all ended when they heard a very strong and deep voice bark at them asking them what the entire ruckus was. Okami-sama had appeared just in time to spoil the fun. Then he looked up to see Kagome and Sesshoumaru fighting. He interpreted it wrong and immediately he jumped in to stop them, slamming both of them into trees.

Two pairs of eyes bled crimson. Demon blood took over and all hell broke loose. The skies turned dark all of a sudden. The forest became eerily silent. And youki began to crackle in the air.

Within a blink of an eye was Okami-sama shoved into a tree and held up by his neck by a very strong feminine hand with very sharp claws.

"What were you thinking spoiling my fun? I should kill you for doing that." -Kagome.

"Kagome let go of me. I thought you were in danger." -Okami-sama.

"Don't ever do that again old man." -Sesshoumaru.

Kagome let go of Okami-sama's neck and straitened her posture. Both demons got their blood under control again and their eyes turned to their normal color.

After everything got back to normal did Okami-sama ask them why they were fighting.

"It's silly really, it all just began as always with a staring contest en so on." -Kagome.

"Well, don't let it happen again. I was really worried. You know that you are like a daughter to me." -Okami-sama.

"Speaking of which, why wasn't I informed that Kagome was here? You knew I was searching for her." -Sesshoumaru.

"Well, to tell you the truth." Okami-sama.

"Spill it old man." Sesshoumaru was beginning to loose his patients.

"When I saw her I knew that she and my son would make very powerful children and my family had a chance of marrying into a very powerful family." -Okami-sama.

By this time Kagome was blushing mad. How could he? Just to make Kouga me mate? Just to have strong and powerful grandchildren? That youkai is out of his mind.

"What were you thinking?" Sesshoumaru was loosing his control again, something that didn't happen too much. "You cannot just do that. You know very well as I that this deserves great punishment. I don't want to think what the elders will do to you when they hear about this." -Sess.

"But I was also keeping her safe. What if the other lords found her or, or." -Okami-sama.

"I don't want to hear it. You know the rules and you know what kind of punishment this deserves. I'm afraid I must turn you in." -Sess.

"Please, stop, don't do this. Sesshoumaru, you know as well as I do that he meant well. You don't have to let the elders know." -Kagome.

"And why not? He broke the rules." -Sess.

"Yes, he did. But he kept me safe. He took care of me in my time of need and grieve. Give him a chance and spare his life, that's all I ask." -Kagome.

"Very well, but from now on you shall come and live with me until you have reclaimed your lands and have been put back on your rightful throne. I will hear no protests from any of you. Tomorrow morning we're heading back to my lands, giving you more than enough time to say your farewells." -Sess.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for helping me." -Kagome.

"Don't thank me yet. You'll never know how things shall turn out." -Sess.

That's it for now. I hope you liked it. It seems that not much people like this story as much as Crimson Snow. How embarrassing, I mean this is the second time I posted this story and the first time people loved it and now. . . I think I'm going to erase this story. But only if people don't review. So review please. And thanks you two for reviewing.

I also hope that this story wasn't confusing. I mean I have thought about the history of how everything went or has to go and the plot, don't know if there is any, I'm just writing my thoughts as you can read.

And about Okami-sama who's one of Sesshoumaru's alliance and not telling him that he had Kagome for years. . . I had to think up something and I hope that it wasn't "immature" or something.

Anywho, I repeat: please review and flames or rather criticism is welcome.
