A Twisted Fairy Tale

CH 3: Fated Meeting

"You dare trespass my domain, demon" Kagome asked, her voice smooth and laced with threats.

She let her eyes roam his form, as she took a step towards him. She could tell by his powerful aura that he was not an ordinary youkai. She looked closer and narrowed her eyes as she saw something on his forehead that she didn't want to see. It was the mark of the West. It told everyone proudly that he is the current ruler of the Western lands. It clearly told her that he was the son of the demon she so much detests - the man who has killed her father.

It made her wants to laugh and be angry at the same time. She hates him - she hates his family. She couldn't help but let a taunting smirk cross her face.

"The Lord of the Western Lands"

She stated more than question, every single word pronounced arrogantly and seductively. The way her eyes locked with his could have made any male beg for her, and she was surprised at how he just stood there. With one swift movement, she took the piece of clothing that was wrapped around her forehead, arrogantly showing him the mark of the Southern, Northern and Eastern lands.

Sesshoumaru remained standing as he looked over at her form again. So this was she, the princess. The story of her beauty was true after all. For even at night, he could see her beautiful emerald orbs shone with a piercing gaze. Though to him, her gaze seem to be more seductive than life threatening. Her long black raven hair cascades down to her back. She wore some piece of clothing showing her legs, but something wrapped tightly around them. The armour on her wrist and shoulders, made her look like a warrior, but her beauty remained flawless and perfect.

The way she just stood there in front of him, not scared of what he might do impressed him. Hadn't she heard of his ways? How he would brutally kill without even caring on what they are? She must have or she would regret it. He just stood there as he watched her near him, the way she walked annoyed him. Not because he found it actually annoying, but because he found the way she did it actually arousing.

He saw her smirk disappear. "Tell me now demon, why are you in my lands" He watched as she stop a few feet away from him, her eyes challenging and unyielding.

"I do not need to answer your question, wench." He said, his voice calm.

"You dare call me, a wench" She asked, her voice smooth and taunting. "You do know that the ground you stand on belongs to me, do you not"

He stood his ground, remaining his control. "You do know of whom you stand before, do you not"

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she let her eyes go up and down, making it clear to him that she did. "You" she walked towards him and stop a few inches away from his form. He was a taller than her, but she didn't care. "Are nothing but the pathetic Lord of the weak Western lands."

He narrowed his eyes. He could kill her, but not right now. "You" he paused. "Are nothing but the whore who seduced the Lord of the East in order to assassinate him. You are the pathetic, the weak and the whore."

Every single word marred Kagome. She was never, in her entire life called a whore, pathetic or weak. She knew that he had reasons as to believe what he had just said, but they weren't true. First, it was her mother's plan for her to seduce Lord Kouga first, it wasn't hers, and she would rather fight and kill. Second, she wasn't weak. She hardly uses her powers or fighting skills in front of anyone, but she wasn't weak.

She fisted her hand, as she tried to remain her control. She could tell that the Lord who stood before her was probably laughing inside at how she was loosing her control, but she wouldn't let that continue.

"It wasn't my fault that the Lord of the East is such a fool. Actually, he assassinated himself if I have to tell you. You, Lord of the weak Lands is probably as weak as he." The words were said with a seductive tone.

Kagome just smiled seductively. If he would think she is a whore, then why not show him that she actually is a very good one. Any spaces between them disappeared as Kagome closed her distance; her chest now pressed against his as she moved her right hand up and cupped his cheeks. She was taken when she saw him remain still. That is when she felt a little annoyed, any male would be begging for her now... Fine then, if he was going to remain still... Kagome's hands crawled up to rest on his chest, as she secretly smirked when she felt him tense.

Knowing that he was still not sure of what she really intended, Kagome tiptoed and rubbed her lips against his. She did it again...and again. She smiled when she smelt his arousal. She pulled away"Weak... Just like all males." She stated, as she mockingly smirked at him.

The female...dared. Loosing the last control he had, Sesshoumaru's speed surprised the female youkai as he grabbed her by the throat. "Judging this Sesshoumaru will lead to your end." He said, as his gripped on her neck tightened and his claws extended.

He just watched as she gave him a taunting smile. He jumped away, as he saw her pull out her sword to strike him. He stopped a few meters away from her. Then, he ran towards her, pulling out his sword Toujikin out, so to strike her with it. Though, as he slashed through her form, he only hit cold air. He quickly turned around and saw her sitting on a tree branch and her face containing another twisted smile. He could only jumped as he felt the earth start to move. As he looked down, he could see branches move up to catch up to him.

Again he sheathed his sword, as he let his claws extend and he cut through the vines and branches. Though, he felt the wind blew harder, making his eyes want to close. He blink less than a second and found himself lying on the ground, branches and vines tying him to the ground. He tried to move but the gripped only tightened. He saw the female youkai jumped down from the tree and walk towards him, only to stop beside him and bend down.

"Would you still refer to I as weak" She asked, her voice mocking.

He snarled and glared at her. "You still however remain a whore." He hissed, as tried to move.

Kagome kneeled down on his right side and placed her right hand on his left cheek and started to caress his temple.

"What a waste of beauty." She whispered, as she bent down closer to his face. "Powerful they say your family is, your father even manage to take the life of mine." Her eyes locked with his, their faces merely centimetres away from each other. "Yet, here you are...about to die by my hands." Kagome smiled a little"I find this quite enjoyable, don't you" She drew out her sword, as she pressed the blade against his throat.

"Wench" he growled. Seeing that she was apparently busy on annoying him before killing him, Sesshoumaru put all of his power into his left arm, pulling his arm up with incredible speed, unsheathing his sword and slipping it between them. Now his sword was pressed against her throat and her sword pressed against his. He could only smirk, as he saw her eyes widened at the sudden position.

Her eyes stopped widening as she saw his smirk. She wanted to kill herself for being ignorant. Now she was in this position. But did it really matter? Maybe after she cut his head off she will die, but she didn't care if she died now. She would rather die this way...fight dying. And at least she died, taking the Lord of the Western land with her to hell. She just smirked.

"Kill me, I don't care, at least I will be able to kill you in the end." She chuckled mockingly, her voice smooth to his ears.

This wasn't what he had expected. He was sure that she was going to beg for her life. Ask him to release the sword and she will release hers. He expected her to beg that he not end her life and ask him that she didn't want a scratch across her face. But it seems that that was not the case. Again, putting all of his energy on his right arm, Sesshoumaru pulled and felt the vines ripped in two. Quickly, he pushed her stomach with his right hand. His left hand with the sword cut through the vines that gripped his legs. In one smooth motion, he was able to pin her beneath him. Her sword taken away from her and now his sword is against her throat.

He was annoyed at how no fear laced her scent. She smelled of spring waterfalls, floral flowers and now a little bit of him. Then his mind froze, as his mind focused on that information. She didn't smell of any other male in her. And it could mean one thing...she was not taken. What he had accused her of being a whore was not true. Trying to make sure, he leaned closer as he inhaled again.

"Get off" Kagome ordered, as she saw him smell her.

Sesshoumaru jumped up away from her quickly. He didn't do this because she had ordered him to. It was because his mind was concentrating on doing other things but killing the female. He watched as she stood up, walk to her sword and sheathed it.

Kagome just stood there, her back facing the demon. The anger she felt before was nothing compare to this one. She remained in control, her face serious. Now, more than ever, she wanted to kill him. Spill his blood, until she had the satisfaction of seeing his dead form lay before her.

The demon had called her weak, pathetic and a whore. And most of all, she wasn't able to end his life. Instead, he showed mercy. He had the perfect chance of ending her life, but he choice not to. And she knew exactly why. For now, she would have to live with knowledge that out there is a demon had the chance of harming her, yet he didn't. And now a fact was now graved, the son of who had killed her father beat her. She was beaten and showed mercy to.

She would rather be dead...

The game of war has become something much more than a game to her now. Her pride was harmed and it was because of him. Forget about her father and the conquering of the lands. She will kill him. She didn't bother to turn around as she felt him leave, his aura disappearing deep into the forest.

As she looked around, she could see that the grave of the dead miko still stood, but as she looked at it closer, she nearly couldn't suppress the urge deep within her. The urge to go after the demon lord and end his life, even if she losses hers doing so. The demon Lord has taken the Shikon no Tama from the grave of the dead miko. How he manage to do it without her knowing didn't matter, the simple fact was he did take it.

Pure hate.

The demon lord has done many wrongs to her and she swore to herself, that no one will spill his blood other than her.

I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

Kanashi looked around the large room, filled with her daughter's army. Not many men ever made it to the ranks of her daughter's armies standard. And she wondered why her daughter would be the one killing her army instead of the enemy. She have heard the death of the recent soldier, her daughter have taken it too far. She knew that her daughter should have more self-control.

She stood on the large stage, as she could see every one of them looking at her. "Every one of you deserve this break of fighting, and since my daughter has left for the Southern lands to gather the Shikon no Tama in the Deep Forest of Judgement. I promised to her that I will tend to everyone of youse foods, needs and wants." She smiled seductively as she saw that most of the young males have gotten her hidden point.

It wasn't against the rules, her husband or "king" was dead, so she is free to rut with anyone. Though, even in the past she has deceive her mate. Yes. She was an unfaithful wife, while her husband a faithful husband. But she didn't care, males are nothing more and she never wanted to care for any of them. One has broken her heart before and it has led to her first downfall, and after that she grew stronger, not trusting men.

Her heart was filled with hate and distrust for them. She hoped that the lessons she had taught her daughter will remain. She didn't want her daughter falling in love, for love was nothing but a mere fantasy, nothing but a desire and once the desire was gone, so was everything else...so is the emotion called "love" that comes with it.

But what scared her most is that her daughter, Kagome seemed to have cared for her father. One of the reason she had sent her husband to battle. She didn't want her daughter gaining any good memories with a male - any male. She had taught her daughter to never trust them and Kanashi knew that she has done it well. Though, maybe the memories that Kagome still have left with her father and the love Kagome father had given her, might lead to Kagome's downfall. This is what Kanashi was scared of the most.

Her daughter's downfall…

"The princess went to the Deep Forest of Judgment" A youkai soldier asked.

"Yes" Kanashi answered, as she looked down at Kachiro's worried face. She knew who this youkai was. It was the youkai; one who had treated his daughter like a sister.

"I heard that the Lord of the West, Sesshoumaru, is also in search of the Shikon no Tama."

Frowning, Kanashi just nodded. "Then we will have to wait on who gets it."

END OF CH 3 - A Twisted Fairy Tale

Demon Tenshi: I know that this isn't what probably most people would have expected... Anyway, I hope people keep reviewing. Please tell me the errors I have made, so I am to not make them again. I promise to write a longer chapter next time when I have the time. This chapter had at least more than 2000 words… Well, here go the reviews!

Sesshophreack- I love the title too! Smiles. And I think I like the way I made the characters deep and I'm not sure about the story line. Cause when I check it out again... I keep thinking, maybe I should have done this or that... And to tell you the truth, I would also love to have someone check my story out again for me...but my best friend is quite busy with her stuff. And thank you for telling me some of my problems that is very helpful. Thanks for the review!

PinkGrenade- Funny isn't it? Well, at least I think it is... Everyone was expecting for Sesshoumaru and Kagome to meet in battle. But I think that they should at least be properly introduced first, don't you? (Well, depends on what "properly" introduce is to people) Like make some kind of contact between each other... Because if they meet in battle, Sesshoumaru wouldn't even hesitate to kill Kagome and also Kagome, she wouldn't hesitate to kill Sesshoumaru. Thanks a lot for reviewing again...I actually noticed. LOL.

Little Yubi- To tell you the truth, I was also excited on what is going to happen in this chapter. Thanks for reviewing!

Scruffy Wolf- LOL, I wouldn't actually think I rock. Though in front of my friends, I do talk a lot... I just talk on and on and on... I guess I am doing that right now... Anyway, thank you for the nice review.

Painedheart- Wow... that quote is sooo deep that I don't still get it... LOL. The Mulan movie is great, I've seen it over 7 times or more! And I'm glad that you think my details and descriptions are good...cause a friend of mine got annoyed and said that I should stop the details and descriptions and get to the point! LOL Still she is my friend and maybe she had a point. Thanks for the review; maybe I'll use one of your quotes. (With your permission of course)

Azera-v- I am so happy to know that you think my FanFic isn't like the others, that is exactly what I wanted... thanks for the review!

Vi3t Babii- As you see (or read) Kagome really hates the family of Sesshoumaru's. The way Kagome acts is already quite seducing don't you think? And the strange thing is...she didn't even try. Anyway, I gladly appreciated your review!

Rubychik09- Ah My Goddess Movie? I haven't seen it yet, but I promise I will check it out! My best friend told me some stuff about it, she said something about it being dramatic and all... I don't really now much about Ah My Goddess, other than they're goddesses, right? Thankz for the wonderful review.

Dog-demon-emiko- Well, I hope that you weren't disappointed with this chapter... I know that this isn't what everyone had probably expected...I kind of hoped that. Anyway, I thank you for the kind review and hope that you can review more!

Domintsu- You are sooo kind! Your reviews in the past are just so sweet or something to appreciate. And yes, Sesshoumaru and Kagome are meeting. It's cute, don't you think? Emotionless Demon Lord VS Seductively beautiful demoness.

Neverending- I never actually thought how the fight goes on...but I hope you weren't disappointed. Thanks for the review!

Megan- Thankz, I'm glad to know that the plot was great and that you like the story. That is such a nice review. And thank you for the past reviews as well!

BlackAngelBlood- He..hehe... I hope your not mad at me... I know I ended the last one with a cliffy, but this chapter isn't... Anyway, thanks for the review and it doesn't seem to me that many people are upset about it...

Kittyfox117- In some ways, I guess you can say that Kagome is pretty evil. And Kagome regretting killing Kouga, I wouldn't think of it as regretting. She is more on the lines of wondering why Kouga still loved her even if he knew about her secret. The character Kagome here is sooo OOC, she is smarter and evil, yet when it comes to something like trusting people, she doesn't know a thing. Thankz for the review!

Deamon Drama Queen- Well, Kagome doesn't have the jewel yet…so… I don't know if it's tainted or not. Thanks for the review!
