'Allo! I got a question from somebody in my last review, "If Kagome's a demon, why does Sesshoumaru still call her human?" Simple. When Kagome saved Rin and blacked out, she transformed then. Not before that. She woke up, and Walla!

Anyway, here's another chapter!

DISCLAIMER – I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters but I own Himeko/Himey

Kagome sat on the fountain that was in the gardens. She sighed. Her hair had grown longer and it was a darker color. The colors of dark violet were the stripes that were on her cheeks and wrists. Her eyes had turned a deep silver. Her hand swayed in the water. Rin ran over to her. "Why are you depressed Kagome?" she asked. Sweet Rin, innocent, sweet, Rin. She thought. "Rin, I'm now a demon. This is something that changes my life entirely. I can never return home again. Never…." She said and started to cry. Rin looked sad. "Shippo, is it true?" she asked as he came running over.

He didn't want to say it. He really did not. At least not in front of Kagome, he didn't. So he simple nodded instead. Kagome sighed. She went for a walk around. She saw a hot spring. She thought for a moment. She sighed. In the flash of a lightning bolt her eyes had gone blank. Her face left expressionless. She walked towards the water. She stepped into it soaking the layers of silk and satin she wore. She slowly kept walking getting wetter every step she took. Before she knew it, the water was to her neck. She plunged under.

Unsure of what she was doing, amber eyes had followed her. He saw her plunge under. Sesshoumaru gasped slightly and ran over. He saw bubbles of air rise from the water and dove down to save her. She was too heavy under the weight of the layers. He slashed the two outer layers revealing her bra and underwear. He drug her up and laid her down on the ground and placed a hand over her chest to feel for a heart beat. He couldn't find one. He pushed down where her upper lungs were avoiding her breasts.

Sesshoumaru sighed. He knew what he had to do, and he felt that it would scar him for a loooong time. He placed his mouth on hers and blew air into her lungs. He pushed down again three times. He blew once more. After a second or two, Kagome started coughing up a combination of blood and water. Sesshoumaru patted her back. Kagome looked at him. "Why? Why didn't you just let me die? I'm such a burden, why keep me?" she asked. "I did not want you, I needed you, how else will I get the sword my half brother possesses." He said coldly.

Sesshoumaru stood up and started to walk away. He sighed. He knew his words had hurt her. He could smell the tears forming in her eyes. He turned around and walked back over and covered her with his hori, he then picked her up bridal style and walked towards the castle. "Tell me girl, why do you insist on killing yourself?" she sighed. "I don't, it is something deep within my soul that wishes to, something that takes over my body. Something I just cannot control." She said.

He concentrated on her eyes. She wasn't lying. Sesshoumaru pondered upon it. Kagome closed her eyes. He could feel the coldness of her body, he held her closer to keep her warmer. Kagome noticed this. She though to herself, 'What is he doing…..? I'm grateful and all that he saved me but, he's just a little too close…' her thoughts drifter further on, 'he looks so gorgeous right now, good and wet.' Kagome mentally slapped herself. What was she thinking? He was Inuyasha's brother, who he so deeply hated She could never betray Inuyasha that way. She blushed and looked away.

Too late, Sesshoumaru noticed. Her and those emotions…I'll hold this against her later. He thought and smirked. Sesshoumaru couldn't help himself but glace and her. Cradled, in his arms, wet, in his white hori, her hair covering half her body with her eyes closed. She looks beautiful… he thought in a dreamy voice.

HA! HA HA!

What now?

You think she's beautiful.

Yes I do. So what?

You swore to never love a human, Rin came along, and here you are falling for another one. Oh how the mighty have fallen….in loooove.

I deny that I know you. --

Admit it, you're falling for her.

Will you go away if I do?

Maybe.

Fine, I am…

I'll return later, you're so gullible.

You bastard…

Gee I love you too…

He walked silently over to the castle. He opened the door. Jaken rushed to his side. "Lord Sesshoumaru! What's…" "Leave me be." He ordered and walked up the stairs into the grand hallway. Sesshoumaru looked at her again. She had fallen asleep. He sighed. Waking her up would mean death his own death. Her misery would drown him alive. His room was closest and he was tired himself. Sesshoumaru opened his door and walked over to his bed.

He layed her down carefully trying not to wake her. He then layed down on the other side. He covered her up with the blanket and himself too. Sesshoumaru watched her sleep. She looked so peaceful, her light colored skin glowed in the night's reflection through his window. She opened her eyes starting to awake. She spoke so softly and quietly. "Thank you." And she shut her eyes. You're beautiful. He wanted to say it so badly. But nay, he wouldn't. Not yet. She fell back asleep in seconds. He scooted closer to her. Sesshoumaru placed a hand on her head softly. "Your welcome." He whispered and sighed.

Why me?

Why you for what?

I admit, I'm falling for her, why me? After all that has happened over the years, why me?

She could never love a demon as I.

Well if you weren't an ass to her.

I have pride.

Too much of it.

Sesshoumaru sighed again. Was his inner self correct? He glanced back over to her sleeping form. I must take her back tomorrow, before I can't let her go. He scooted away from her and fell asleep.

He opened his eyes, and nearly died of shock. There, in his arms, she layed, even cuddled in with his tail, and he was holding her. She started to stir. He slowly moved her hands away from his tail, and darted out of the room. Kagome awoke and opened her eyes. She glanced around. This was not the room she was given, where was she? Panic rose in her. She got up. Kagome stopped for a moment and realization hit her like a ton of bricks. She fell to her knees feeling tired and alone.

"Shippo…" she whispered. "SHIPPO!" Kagome yelled it. In about 15 seconds the door flew open and there came Shippo running to her arms. She hugged him tightly. "What's wrong Kagome?" She started to cry. "I don't know…" she said and sobbed. Shippo held onto her. "I just don't know…"

In Sesshoumaru's study.

"Damn it all to Hell. Why is it that I cannot control myself? Feelings are for the weak. And I will not be weak." He said. "I'll take them back, now." He said and stormed out.

He stomped down the hallway to the room where he left her. He was about to open the door when he heard her. She sobbed. "I can't take it anymore Shippo, why don't I just kill my self now and get it over with." Sesshoumaru heard the pleading of the kit not to. She cried louder. He slowly opened the door. "Hey Sesshoumaru…" she said without even looking at him. She smiled a fake smile, a smile that tried to hide so much pain. He placed a hand on her shoulder. She was still sitting upon the floor. "Come say goodbye to Rin, I'll take you both back today." Kagome nodded and stood up caring Shippo.

"But I am dressed in no matter to be seen by a child." She said. He nodded and walked over to his closet. His many hori's and kimonos were there. He walked to the back of the closet. It t'was a large closet. He picked up a box and took off the top. A soft pink colored kimono was folded; lighter colored pink flowers were upon it. He carried it like it would break at the touch of a finger. Kagome had stood there with Shippo the whole time. He held it up to her. "Catching it is." He said and layed it on the bed.

He walked toward to door and opened it then shut it behind him. Kagome put down Shippo and removed his hori from her body. He looked at the kimono, it was so formal. That kimono was the prettiest she had ever seen. She gently put it on carefully not to damage it in any way. After tying it she looked at her self in the mirror. It was gorgeous; she on the other hand needed to brush her hair. She grabbed Sesshoumaru's. "I'm sure he won't mind so much." She said and smiled.

"Won't mind what?" he said as he walked back in. "Oh nothing." She said brushing her hair. She put the brush down, now, she looked great. He looked at her suspiciously. She twirled in front of the mirror. She really did look beautiful. And Sesshoumaru knew it. He walked over to her and picked her up. "You look nice, now we must hurry." He said and started to run off, Kagome grabbed Shippo's hand and pulled him up. He ran over to Rin's room. Himeko was sitting there playing with her. "Kagome!" Rin said and latched onto her leg. Kagome smiled. "Hey Lady!" Himey said. Kagome stuck out her tongue.

Himey gasped and giggled. She whispered in Kagome's ear, "I think he's attached to you Lady, or did you not notice his arm around your waist." Kagome gasped and her jaw dropped. "I'll get you!" Kagome said. Himey suffered from a giggle fit and couldn't breathe for a second. Kagome laughed at her, and the truth is, Sesshoumaru did have his arm around her waist. She wondered if he noticed. "Friends, and Himey..." she said and laughed. "I have to leave." Himey looked surprised, "Y…You're making her leave?" Rin said to Sesshoumaru. He nodded. Tears formed in her eyes. She held onto her arm, "But you can't! Rin wanted a new mommy, she thought she had finally gotten one and you're taking her away!" Rin said.

"Oh Rin…" Kagome said and shook her head. She hugged Rin tightly. "Don't cry." She said softly. Himey came and took Rin to go play in the garden. Rin cried quietly. "Well I supposed we should get you back." He said. Will he still try and get that sword? I hope he's prepared to be turned away. He flew up in the air and a cloud formed around them it would be a while before they came close to the forest. Kagome shut her eyes, it was still early. Shippo layed on her asleep too. Sesshoumaru held her bridal style. And close to him as well.

After a while hand fell to the ground and landed gently not to wake her he sat her up and leaned her against the well. She awoke. She was still drowsy. Kagome yawned. "Sesshoumaru, where are we?" she asked. "At the well." He said. Kagome looked down "Oh…" she said. "What's wrong?" he asked. "I don't want you to leave, Sesshoumaru. I think I've seen a side of you only Rin has ever witnessed if at all. You're a kind person at times, other times I wish I could hurt you. But I think I've developed a feeling of friendship between us. Don't you think?" she asked.

He flashed a quick smile. "I do." Sesshoumaru said and reached in his pocket and pulled out a bracelet. A silver one with a dog demon pendent attached to it. Such detail it had. He clasped it around her wrist. "If you need me, whisper my name in its ear. I'll hear it. This was my mother's, my father gave it to me when she passed away. It's yours." Kagome gasped. "Thank you, so much." She said and hugged him.

Sesshoumaru was a little surprised and hugged her back. Kagome smiled.

He parted from her. "You can always come back. But now we must return you to my half brother." He said. Sesshoumaru picked up the kit and handed him to Kagome for her to hold. "I may have to hurt you. Don't take it personal." She grimaced. "Okay I guess…"

He took her by the arm and started walking catching her off guard. Him and his pride I swear… she said. She was drug on carrying Shippo best as she could.
