It stopped there. '....Betrothed?!..... to a human?!.... but, she's really an angel...' he thinks of when he found her and she looked at him. 'Although... now that I think about it, it's not all that hard to tell....'

He heard something outside of his door and then he heard a woman's voice say "ow!" he smiled to himself. "You would make a terrible ninja, Kagome." he heard a gasp and then a tiny voice.

"M-may I come in?!..." he grunted a response.

"You must see this." he said as she opened the door and entered, closing it behind her. She stepped over the many books and avoided all the spider webs.

"Ever heard of dusting?!" she asked, sarcastically.

"Hm. Funny. Now look at this." he said, showing her the picture his mother drew. Her eyes widened.

"..Who is this?!..." she asked.

"An angel that my mother drew years ago. But turn it over." she did. "Now read." she read what his mother had written and her eyes widened even more.

"Wh-why are you showing this to me?!..." she asked, looking at him, confused.

"Because what my mother wrote there, is referring to you." she almost dropped the book that she was holding.

"What?!! what would lead you to believe that?!.." he stood, resting a hand on the desk as he towered over her.

"When I found you in the forest, I asked you what you were." she nodded. "This is because.. When I first saw you there, I saw that you had wings. I looked away and when I looked back, your wings were gone."

"Well, then you must've been seeing things!" she laughed out. "Cuz I am no angel!... I'm Kagome Higurashi! I live with my mother, my brother, Souta and--...." she cut herself off, having a sudden vision. She saw herself falling to earth and then talking to her mother. She held her head and got a pained look. Sesshomaru reached for her, worriedly.

"What's wrong?..."

She grunted. "..It's--... it's nothing!.... I'm fine! Don't worry!....." she got out. "I just.. need to.. lie down for.. a while...." she said before fainting. He caught her lightly in his arms and picked her up bridal style.

He brought her to the room that had been given to her, which was next to his. He stayed with her even after the servant came in and patted her head down with a cool/damp cloth. He took it from the servant and told her she could leave. He started to do the same with the cloth and smiled to himself. "I guess this is why I felt drawn to you... because of what mother said. We are betrothed...."

"What does that mean anyway?!...." she asked before opening her eyes.

"It means that we were promised to each other." she tilted her head. "It means that your parents promised you to me... to be my mate." her eyes widened and she sat up and backed away from him quickly.

"What?!!!?!! Please don't tell me you believe all that bull!!" he turned his head a bit and closed his eyes.

"I believe what I see with my own eyes..." he saw relief in her eyes. "...And what my mother has said." she throws her hands in the air and rolls her eyes.

"Oh, comon!!!..." as she brings her hands back down, he catches them in his. She looks at him with surprise in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Why are you so upset?" he asked, looking at her with sincere worry. Her eyes turned angry.

"Why am I so upset?!?! because for all I know, you could have just written that stupid story yourself and had someone or something.. one of your servants, draw that ridiculous picture!!--" he cut her by kissing her deeply. Her eyes widen and after she comes out of her trance she pushes him away and slaps him hard, an angry look on her face and a blush staining her cheeks. "How dare you......!!?!"

He looks at her with the same stoic look. "Please stay here. Until I am able to convince you that what I speak of is truth, I think it best that you do." he said as he stood. He started towards the door and she leaned forward on the bed.

"You 'think it's best?!!?' why is it that every guy I meet seems to know what's best for me?!?!! and I don't?!?!!" she asked. He stopped and then turned to her slowly.

"You are my future mate. Soon, I will know everything that is best for you." with that, he left a fuming Kagome alone to collect her thoughts. She grasped the pillow and squeezed it tight, gritting her teeth.

"Rrrr!!.... that... b#$%!!!!......." she said between her teeth. She heard a rip and looked down at the pillow she held in her hand. It was in shreds. She then looked at her hand to see claws. Her eyes widened. 'Could... it be that... all that he told and showed me... was true??!!!....' she pondered.
