Chapter 2
Kagome rose from the futon, feeling a dull ache rise to her head. She yawned and raised her right hand to rub the sleep from her eyes. Her hand left the soft comfort of the futon, and made it ascend towards her eyes. Suddenly she froze. 'Futon?! I was in the forest before I fell unconscious!'
Suddenly, it was as if her sense of smell multiplied 1000x, she even smelt the freshly washed futon. Her eyes grew wide and she carefully observed the room she was in. It was a normal Japanese-styled room; there was a mirror against one wall, a large closet at the other, a table and some cushions at the middle, a bathroom was next to the closet, and the futon was against the wall, directly across the shoji screen door.
She was confused and her thoughts raced blindly around her head. 'Where am I? Who took me here? What happened last night? Why the hell are my hands claws?!' At that commentary, she observed her hands concluding that they were indeed claws.
She stood up, and ran to the vanity mirror, surprised at her own speed. Her blue-grey eyes rested on her figure, reflected on the mirror.
"What happened to me?" She questioned herself, tracing the contours of her face.
"That was what I hoped you could explain to me."
Kagome turned around, surprised to see Sesshoumaru, standing at the doorway, slightly leaning on the doorframe. Not brandishing what he just said, she asked the questions that plagued her mind,
"What the hell am I doing here, and what happened to me?!"
Sesshoumaru was surprised at the woman's outburst, though it did not appear on his stoic face. He knew that woman-child was a spitfire, but he never expected her to be that much! He growled, and replied in a cold and hard tone,
"I saved your pathetic life. If it weren't for I, Sesshoumaru, you would have been a youkai's supper, or breakfast."
"Why did you save me?" Kagome asked surprised, "For the Tetsusaiga? If so, then you should just kill me right now. Inuyasha wouldn't trade the fang for me... I'm not important to him," Kagome had whispered the last part, but Sesshoumaru had heard it clearly.
"You are correct with your assumption, but if what you say is true, then I SHOULD kill you. But seeing as how you've turned into an inu youkai, I will spare you for there are a few of our kin in number. In return, you will instruct my ward, Rin, on proper ningen behaviour, and from this night forth, you will belong to this Sesshoumaru."
Kagome fumed at the possessiveness of his toned, but considered the offer he made. She started, though hesitant, "I have no complaints against teaching Rin, I would be glad to even, but how am I sure that you will not kill me? I cannot assume that you wont just because you told me. Oh and, one more thing, I DO NOT BELONG TO ANYONE!"
Before she could register what happened, Kagome found herself pinned to the wall, with a snarling Sesshoumaru glaring at her. It was rare for Sesshoumaru to show emotions, but she was truly afraid when the opportunity arose.
"I am a youkai of my word, unlike some that I am acquainted with, although I require the respect that I deserve for if it were not for this Sesshoumaru, you would have been youkai leftovers by now. Act like the ningen you once were and actually be grateful."
Kagome just stared at him coldly, unfazed by his tirade. Finally, she retorted, "You can kill me now for all I care, everyone else would want my pathetic head anyway. And... I am grateful, and I would try to respect you if we reach a compliance of some sort."
Sesshoumaru abruptly dropped Kagome, "Fine wench, I comply. Each will have three conditions that the other must fulfill. My first requirement would be for you to teach Rin about the world around her and how to act properly. Second, you will belong to me and will have no further relation to my half brother and his band. Lastly, you will train with me to learn how to properly fight like a youkai. Agreed wench?"
"Agreed," Kagome wasn't hesitant about any of his requirements, except the "you belong to me" part, but she will somehow manage to overlook that.
"First, I would prefer it if you will call me by my name, which is Kagome. No other names such as wench, miko, onna, or any other obscenities that you youkai come up with. Second, after we have completed my training, you will accompany me in my quest to find the Shikon no Tama shards, which are conveniently in Naraku's hands now. And finally, allow me to return to my time, at least once a month, agreed?"
Kagome took a deep breath and eyed Sesshoumaru warily. Though he held his stoic façade, she knew he was confused. She trudged to the middle of the room and sat down on the cushions, but had to readjust her yukata for it was riding up her body. Then she wondered why she was in yukata, but then stopped her train of thought when she saw Sesshoumaru sitting across her.
"Um... ok, how do I explain this...OK, first off, I'm not from this era, I come from the future. The Bone-Eaters well in... Inuyasha's Forest. I don't exactly know how one can pass through the time boundaries, but I do know that there must be link from my time to this."
Sesshoumaru evaluated whether Kagome was lying or not, she was not. He stared coldly at Kagome, only to find out that she would not flinch under his gaze. Instead, she kept her head leveled as his and stared back at him with equal fervor. 'I like his eyes...' Kagome mentally gasped, 'I did not just think that, please tell me I did not just think that... but then it is true, Sesshoumaru has better eyes that HIM.'
Kagome, who all this time coped up with Sesshoumaru, suddenly shuddered violently, and Sesshoumaru, who was still contemplating on what the woman- child said, was suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of... 'Concern? No this Sesshoumaru does not feel concern, especially for this onna....' Before Sesshoumaru could finish his line of thought, the convulsing figure of Kagome slowly fell to the floor. Kagome expected to kiss the floor, but she was caught by taken aback when she felt herself land on something firm with warm tentacles wrapping around her. She finally opened her eyes; after realizing that she had kept it closed the whole time the incident occurred. Her now almost gray eyes stared back at liquid-honey coloured ones. For a while, both demons just stared at each other, until Kagome found their awkward positioning; she was lying on top of Sesshoumaru with her arms around his neck and in turn, he had his arms around her waist, balancing both of them. Though it wasn't evident on his face, Sesshoumaru was quite surprised by what had taken place. He didn't even realize that he was moving until he found himself staring at Kagome's eyes. He slowly steadied her on her feet and gracefully removed the invisible wrinkles on his hakama.
"We will continue our previous conversation after you have had rest. You are both mentally and physically exhausted."
With that said, Kagome just stared at Sesshoumaru's retreating back, still not woken from her stupor. But suddenly, her earlier question returned. "Ano... chotto, Sesshoumaru!" He stopped on his tracks but did not glance at her as she slowly fidgeted with her skirt. "My presence is wearing thin... Kagome," Sesshoumaru slowly growled, pronouncing her name dangerously.
Kagome's earlier nervousness was replaced by anger, 'That pompous bastard!' She stood up straight, puffed out her chest and glared heatedly at his back. "Oh mighty Lord of the Western lands, this lowly youkai was just curious as to know who had undressed her. Sesshoumaru growled, he didn't miss the heavy sarcasm her voice held. "I did, and yes. You are a lowly youkai, with no figure whatsoever," Sesshoumaru took his precious time to let himself out of Kagome's room.
'That....that.... THAT BASTERD!!!!!' Kagome fumed, 'How dare he???!!! I swear that I will tear his limbs one by one. THAT HENTAI!' She told herself to calm down, get him back some other time, right now, she just wanted to sleep. She yawned as she fixed the cushions and made her way towards her futon. As soon as her head had hit the pillow, she was dead asleep.
Sesshoumaru made his way to his chambers, as thoughts plagued his mind. 'Why was she shuddering like that? Why did I catch her when she fell? Was I really concerned for the young youkai?' Sesshoumaru growled, 'This Sesshoumaru does not feel, and I am not concerened for her. She is just bait for Inuyasha, in order for me to get the Tetsusaiga.'
But then, he remembered the bitter words of Kagome when she said that Inuyasha would never give the Tetsusaiga in exchange for her life. He lost himself in his thoughts again. Finally reaching his chambers, he changed into a simple white yukata and made his way to his futon. He had had a hectic day, with work and Kagome. 'The demoness really is feisty, I wonder what will happen once I start training her...' and with that last thought, Sesshoumaru drifted into a light nap.

Hey guys, I'm really sorry about the months that I haven't updated. I've finished writing Chapter 4 on paper, but I'm just so lazy to type. Also, I finished school on the end of May, but I transferred schools, so now I'm back for ten months of hell. Really sorry, also I've had some attempts [if you know what I mean] and I've been feeling sick coz of the pills. But on a lighter note....
I SAW LINKIN PARK!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!! CHESTER!!!!! MIKE!!!!! MR. HAHN!!!!! ROB!!!! BRAD!!!! PHOENIX!!!!! I SAW THEM YESTERDAY NIGHT!!!!! [breathe in, breath out.. breathe in, breath out...] omg.... I....saw.....LINKIN PARK!!!!! I just cant believe it.... It was so amazing.... I love them so much.....
Lol, sorry, had to put that up, hehe.... Btw, if you don't like Linkin Park, then don't flame me saying 'I don't like LP' coz your supposed to review the story, not the little A/N... ok, so mine isn't little, but what the heck!
One last thing.... I appreciate all the suggestions that you may give me, but unfortunately I will not be able to use them for I already have this story planned out, so sorry. But I am working on an AU, Sess/Kag and Inu/OC (read my bio if you don't know the character). I don't have a title yet, but here's a little summary:
Sesshoumaru is in a band with his half brother Inuyasha, and his friend Miroku. The guys are taking a break from their hectic schedule to just chill out in a small town with The Inu Brothers' cousin, Riku Takahashi. Now Riku is a part of a band too, or more precisely, his best friends' Aki Miori's band, which includes Aki, Riku, Sora and Kagome (I'm using Kindom Hearts characters, forgive me). Will sparks fly between the musicians or will heads roll? Read to find out! [......DAMN.... That was cheesy....]
I'm out! Kdpcat
