Kagome woke up the bright sun shining upon her face. She opened her eyes and was shocked. She sat up and looked at her surroundings. Layer upon layer she was covered with silky black sheets and blankets. She turned around and there was a canopy with curtains covering a painting of a giant white demon dog with a crescent moon on its forehead. She gasped. "Oh wow, its beautiful, but…but where am I?" she said. She stepped out of the bed and was face to face with none other than, Sesshoumaru.

"Oh my God…" she said and stepped back. "Sorry I do not believe I am God. Care to try again?" Sesshoumaru said and smirked. Since when does 'he' have a sense of humor? Kagome thought. "Ok fess up, why did you bring me here?" she said. "Simple, Inuyasha wants you, I want the tetsuiga. Understand where I am going with this?" he said. Kagome frowned. "I do, but there's one flaw in your little plan. Sure Inuyasha may want me, but he wants his dead woman Kikyo more. When you bring me to him, all he'll do is swear and cuss at you, apologize to me, and then run off with Kikyo not even lifting a finger, especially when his precious sword is a stake. sp?

"What?" he yelled and mentally kicked himself for it. "I meant, what do you mean he will not care?" Kagome paused. "Exactly as I said. He rather have Kikyo and his sword then have me and lose it." She sighed. Great than what will I do with this human? Wait, maybe she can take care of Rin in the mean time until I decide to try this plan and see if she was right. I must think of this. Sesshoumaru thought. He sighed. "If you are correct you will have some problems human." He said. "But until then, I need someone to help take care of Rin. My ward Jaken isn't really doing the job correctly." Sesshoumaru added. "Who is Rin?" asked Kagome. "A child I watch over. She followed me one day and did not leave."

Kagome smiled. "That's so sweet." She said. Sesshoumaru growled. "Do not test my patience." Kagome nodded. "I suppose I can help." She said. He simply glared and added a 'Follow Me' before walking out of the door. Kagome followed. She was amazed. The place was HUGE! Banners and portraits everywhere! "Oh my…these are all so pretty." She said. He rolled his eyes. He opened a door. "Rin, this is your new ward…" "Kagome. My name is Kagome." She interrupted. "We will speak later." He said and glared at her and shut the door behind him. What's his problem… she thought.

"Kagome, can we go outside? It's so boring in here!" Rin asked. "Sure we can!" she said. Rin smiled and grabbed her hand then ran down the hallway. They shot out the back door into the gardens. Rin stopped. "Here we are!" she said and smiled. Kagome gasped. Flowers upon flowers everywhere! And a fountain with a rock marble walk ways. "My goodness it's beautiful." Her arms rose and she spun around with her eyes closed. She stopped and fell over and just laughed. Within minutes she had a bouquet of flowers. She took them and made a wreath and put in upon Rin's head. "You're a little Princess." She said. This made Rin smile.

Kagome saw a bush maze, and something pulled her towards it. She walked towards it. A servant saw, "No you mustn't!" she yelled but it was too late. She was already in. She felt her body pass a barrier. She was hesitant but kept going. "There's something here, in the middle of this. I have to see what it is." She said. She walked only faster. Left, Right, Right, Left, Right, Left. She keep going until she turned around another corner. A great fountain stood in the center with a gigantic cross at the top with an angel sitting on it. It had some writing on it. Kagome stepped closer. "In Great and Loving Memory of Satomi." She read aloud. "I wonder who she is, whoever, Satomi must have been very important." She said.

The fountain was built on a patch of land in the center of a pond. Kagome stepped into the pond. She didn't know what it was, but she just couldn't stop. Something about this grave enchanted her. She was up to the top of her skirt when she stopped. The tip of her hair wet. She lightly touched the fountain. Suddenly a force pulled her under.

"LORD SESSHOUMARU! LORD SESSHOUMARU!" the servant yelled. He immediately was in front of her. "Speak." He said. "The human! She went into the maze!" she said in a panic. WHAT? How? I put a barrier there! It cannot be possible. He thought with anger. He ran into the maze.

Kagome couldn't breathe. Air had escaped her throat. She couldn't swim up hard as she tried. Suddenly a voice entered her head. 'You need not be afraid young one.' Who are you? I am the mother of Sesshoumaru. I lured you here for a special reason. To do one thing. You shall find out that your destiny entwines with someone you never thought it would. My destiny? What does this have to do with now? You shant learn until later. May this protect your well being. I don't understand I do not expect you to child, you shall learn soon.

Sesshoumaru arrived and saw Kagome's body in the water and bubbles rising. A pink ora surrounded her body. He immediately dove in. He saw here. Her sock caught under a rock. He kicked the rock to the other side of the pound and grabbed Kagome by her waist and drug her up.

She couldn't breathe. She couldn't barely see and hear. She saw a blurry figure with silver hair. She heard him speak. Her eyes barely open. The last words she heard were "Don't die on me now!" and she passed out.

Sesshoumaru panicked. He pushed down on her chest and waited for five seconds, and pushed down again only harder. Kagome's eyes flew open and she sat up and spat up water and started coughing. "Are you alright?" he said hiding the concern in his voice. "Yes, thank you." She said. "Good, don't you EVER come into this place AGAIN, do you understand human? DO YOU? I DON'T WANT YOU HERE AGAIN!" he said and grabbed her arm and walked toward the doors. He opened them and brought her with him to a room. He opened the door and threw her in and shut it and locked it.

Kagome lye still on the floor where he had thrown her. She started to cry. "All of this is happening to fast to comprehend. Why is this happening." She said and sobbed. There was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" she asked while getting up. "Himeko, a servant." She said. "Come in." she heard the door unlock and Himeko stepped in. She saw the wet carpeting imprint of where he had thrown her. She had a bruise forming on her arm. "Oh, that's not good." Kagome studied Himeko, there's no way she could be older than her. "Himeko, how old are you?" she asked. Himeko look in her direction, "I'm only thirteen, I've been studying in medical tactics since I was four, no need to worry." She said and smiled. "Oh, I knew I was older. How long have you been here?" she asked as Himeko examined her arm. "Since I was born, I was made a servant at the age of eight, it's an honor to be serving under Lord Sesshoumaru, and I've been treated so greatly here. You can call me Himey." She said.

"Okay Himey, so, do your parents live here with you?" Kagome asked. Himey frowned. "No, they died a week after I was born, I was raised by Jaka, he's my older brother." She said. "Oh, I'm sorry." Kagome answered. "My God, Lady you're soaking wet!" she said and ran to the closet, she pulled out a maroon kimono with a silver dragon on the sides. She pulled off Kagome's shirt and started sliding over the kimono as Kagome removed her skirt. "There you go! Why were you wet in the first place?" she asked. "Oh, I fell into a pond." She said. Himey looked at her, "Would this pond happen to be in a maze? With a memorial in the center?" she asked. "Actually, yes it would."

Himey sighed, "This surely is not good, have you any idea what is to be done to those who step foot in the very maze?" she asked. Kagome shook her head. "…Executed." Himey said. Kagome nodded. "I guess I'm rather lucky." Kagome said. Himey nodded. "Did you touch the memorial?" Kagome nodded again. Himey gasped. "And you survived? My Goodness! Those who touch it have over a thousand volts of electricity sent through there body. You must be…" The one. Himey thought. Kagome looked at her.

"I see." She said. Himey looked at her. "You will soon notice some changes Lady." She said. With that said Himey stood up and walked out leaving behind a small box. She took it and tired to open it, but it wouldn't budge. There was no lock on it or anything, it simply refused to open. Kagome took the box and set it on the dresser. She had just realized how beautiful the room was. Sheets of dark blue silk covered the bed. And there was a balcony. She walked out to it and there was a row of doors leading to other rooms. 'Sesshoumaru, Sesshoumaru, Sesshooomaru, what were you thinking? Tsk tsk." She walked to the far edge of the long balcony. She looked across the land and she could see for miles. She stood there a felt a drop of water hit her face. "It's raining…" she thought out loud. The wind was picking up and her hair was flowing in front of her face. She could hear the storm brewing. A volt of lightening touched the ground with a loud clash. She heard a piercing scream from below. She looked and saw Rin and a bear demon staring her down with its claw in the air. Kagome screamed. "RIN!" and jumped off the balcony. She shut her eyes and as fell. Maybe I shoulda taken the stairs! She yelled in her mind. She lightly touched the ground and started in shock for a moment. She forgot when she heard Rin scream out her name.

Kagome ran over to Rin and just as the bear struck she dove grabbing Rin cradling her in her arms when she was struck on her back. Kagome screamed and blacked out when she hit the ground holding the crying child to her keeping her safe. She heard the bear growl and a loud cry come from it. That was the last thing she heard before losing consciousness.

Kagome awoke to the plea of the child next to her. "Kagome-San your awake now!" Kagome tried to sit up when a pain struck her in the back and she fell back. "Owww! What's happened to my back?" she asked before remembering what had happened. Himey spoke up. "You musn't move Lady." Kagome nodded. "How long have I been out?" she asked. "A week and four days." A cold voice said coming from her left. "How come I wasn't killed by that bear?" she asked. "He saved you!" came a familiar voice. She glanced over. "Shippo!" she shouted with glee and forced herself to sit up.

She wrapped her arms around him in a big hug. "Kagome, do you feel…different?" he asked. "Well actually I do…" she looked at her hands, she had claws! She pulled a few strands of her hair, it was a deep violet. She gasped. "I...I…I'm a demon!" she shouted. "How?" she asked aloud. "I'd like to ask everyone to leave the room." Sesshoumaru said. They obeyed and left. "So, tell me what you know?" Kagome said. "Well, I do know, the fact that you touched my mother's grave, had something to do with it. When the bear attacked, your will to protect Rin, transformed you. That's why when you leaped off the balcony you didn't fall to your death, when you were struck by the bear you lost a variety of blood, too much, a human couldn't live with that much lost. This triggered your blood flow to slow down, which is why you passed out. If you didn't transform, you'd be dead."

Kagome looked amazed. "My God, this is so…just wow." She said and gasped. "I want to thank you." She heard him say. She looked puzzled and stared at him, "Why?" she asked, "You were brave, and saved Rin's life at the risk of losing your own. Thank you." He said. Kagome almost choked. "Your welcome, Lord Sesshoumaru." He nodded. "I never thought I'd say this about a human but I would be lost with out that child. Her spirit reminds me so much of my mothers." He said. He has feeling in his voice, his eyes, so warm. She thought. He nodded and walked towards the door. "Sesshoumaru." She said. He turned around. "Hm?" she looked at her bandaged self, "Thank you also." She said. He nodded and smiled a small warm smile. He put on his emotionless expression on before closing the door to her room.

Oooh, someone's in love.

Who are you?

You.

I feared you'd return to me.

Oh, so you do have fears?

Shut it.

Save some time and agree with me. You loooove her.

I shall not. I won't. I cannot love a human, especially since she is my brothers.

You can love a human, you love Rin, do you not?

-sigh- I do, but her, she is my brothers mate.

She is not! Haven't you paid attention? Her scent doesn't contain his.

My Lord…Your right.

You love her? You admit it?

I didn't say that now.

Were not done yet!

He walked down the halls, 'Me, love her? Impossible.' He thought.
