Demon Tenshi: I don't know what to say... I haven't updated in a while and I was already getting mad at myself so. Anyway, thank you for the people who reviewed. I love history but I don't know what I'll get on my history class. Cries... Maybe archaeologist isn't such a bad job for me? Oh well, I should start typing now.

Three Memories: Time Miko's Journeys: CH 3: Sesshoumaru's Day

It was in the middle of the day and on a cloud, a figure flew towards a village. When he arrived at the village it was no surprise that he was being stared at. He hated being in this kind of position, usually every time he would visit a village he would just look at them and they'll be scared out of their minds. But these people did not know him or his power. Sesshoumaru also knew that he couldn't kill them. If he killed them, he knew that he would be no better than those who attacked them yesterday. He walked past by many people.

The humans he would walked passed to, they all had disgusting scents that made his emotionless mask nearly fail him to turn it into a frown. Most were very sweaty and some are just plain disgusting, even the females weren't very clean - most already taken by many men. You could tell that they hardly bathed at all by their scent. Most humans smelled disgusting to him all the way, that is with the exception of his mate, Kagome. To him, she would always smell of beauty and power. Though, he would never say that to her out loud. It made him wonder; maybe it wasn't actually a bad idea that he had marked her. She was after all far more beautiful than all humans, her scent doesn't disgust him, and she's also very kind, sweet, powerful...

"Excuse me young man," An old wavy voice came from behind Sesshoumaru. He turned around to see where the voice resided. "Will you tell us of your business in our village please?"

Maybe Kagome won't mind if he killed an innocent man Sesshoumaru thought. He did it before, but now he hasn't done it for a while. "It is none of your concern, human."

The old man walked closer, his eyes narrowing slightly only to turn into a smile, as if he had recognised Sesshoumaru. "It is you! You are the man that saved the little girl Lin Shiao! We thank you and our General Zhao Yun's mate." The old man said happily, everyone around hearing of what he had said and turning to face Sesshoumaru, who by now has given the old man a grimace.

Sesshoumaru stepped closer to the old man, his eyes narrowed, his lips turned to a frown and his form towering over the old man. "Who do you mean mate of whom?" His voice sounded calmed, but he was curious if Zhao Yun had a mate or they were talking about Kagome - his mate.

"The young woman that was with him. They seem to be like mates. She is beautiful and I know that General Zhao Yun was either courting her or that they are already mates. They seem very closed." The old man said like a lecturer, but his voice seems to be happy about what he had said, though not knowing if it was true or not. "Many beautiful woman are fond of General Zhao Yun and I'm sure that she'll be the best choose if he isn't mated with her yet. I can see in her eyes that she is very fond of our General." He added, wondering why the man before him was frowning.

Anger.

It was the emotion that he was supposed to be able to control. This emotion, he felt that only comes out when he was in a battle against a powerful adversary. But instead, he was loosing it and what angered him more is because he was loosing his control in front of a low creature. If anything more, he was also angered that the anger was also caused because of his sudden possessiveness over a human. Grabbing the old man by the neck, "You know of nothing, human for the young woman is not General Zhao Yun's mate nor is she fond of him. The woman is my mate."

Not wanting to anger the man before him, "I am sorry, I did not know of what I speak." He said politely.

Seeing the old man's face in fear, but not in complete fear, Sesshoumaru let him down. Kagome wouldn't want him to kill one of the humans in the village that she risked her life to save. But he also didn't want to think about it. Why was he caring if Kagome didn't want him to kill? She was just a human. 'A human that I find myself mated to.' He thought. Then as if his anger was all gone, Sesshoumaru turned around and was just about to leave.

"Can I please give my thanks to the Lady?" The old man asked, his voice a little hoarse.

"She will know of your appreciation."

"And can you give her this?" The old man walked fast enough so he could hand a piece of clothing to Sesshoumaru. "We wanted to hand this to her. She seems like a very powerful Time Priestess and this belonged to a Time Priestess who have visited this place in the past."

"You know that she is a Time Priestess?"

"Yes... One before has saved our village and the last one kept this to control her magic." The old man looked down. "She was very beautiful...almost as beautiful as your mate. But leaving this place brought great sorrow to her." The old man looked down, only to look up again smiling. Sadness was clearly shown on his face, but he was trying to hide it. "My name is Dong. I am the priest of this village."

"Will this help her?" Sesshoumaru looked down at the piece of clothing.

"Yes. She must tie it around her forehead so her mark won't be seen. Many people would recognise what she is and many will want her power."

The lord demon merely nodded as his eyes drifted down to the piece of clothing. It was colour violet and will match up with Kagome's eyes. He then started to walk away, his cloud appearing at the bottom of his feets, only to float flyaway fast in an incredible speed.

"A Time Priestess with a companion? How is it that she was an exception? She is with a companion, yet Rishi could not be with one? Rishi thought such thing could never be done." The old man said aloud, not caring if any hear him, as he looked up at the cloudy sky. "Rishi, she didn't have her chanced with my Lord..."

As Sesshoumaru landed, he let his eyes roamed the bigger, richer village. This village was different; it had many people selling things and stinks more than the other. He also saw that not only are things are being sold but also females. He didn't care; he would not be satisfied with human bitches. Kagome is his mate and even if he was sure that he will never take her, he knew that he must stay true to her, at least so that he will never become like his father.

Walking around the village his eyes did not find anything interesting. They were pure rubbish at what they sold. Some sold weapon and most looked as if used or worn out. Then, as time went pass by, something had grabbed his attention, as if this one thing called out to him. As if this thing that he now stares at is the main purpose of why he was in this village in the first place.

From the corner of his eyes, Sesshoumaru could see a young man looking at the side of his face. "So... You like that? Sorry, it is not for sale." The human said, his eyes focused on Sesshoumaru.

This was his purpose of being here. It didn't matter to him whatever the human said, he'll have this weapon. While he never really judges a weapon for how beautiful they are this one was an exception for its beauty almost looked as if it the actual power. "How much?" Was all he said, knowing that anything can be bought. The gold coins he had inside his pocket is more than enough to buy anything, he was sure.

"I told you it is not for sale." The young man insisted. He had black brownish hair and orange eyes.

This time, Sesshoumaru did not bother to answer; he just merely dropped the bunch of gold coins on the table. Everyone around including the human wenches and the others looked down hungrily at the large amount of gold. "This weapon is not for sale." The young man repeated, this time his voice annoyed.

"Human, your impudence is irritating, if I cannot gain this weapon by amount of money, then I will just take it away. But I wonder, why is it that you would display such a valuable weapon when it is clearly not for sale?"

The young man looked up and spoked. "The weapon that you lay your eyes upon is a weapon that chooses its own master..." The young man said. "...It will react to anyone who would be capable of beings its master."

A minute passed and Sesshoumaru nodded. If the weapon chooses its own master, then it couldn't be his. He was just about to leave when he felt the clothing that was given for Kagome, create some type of energy. He took it out, only for it to glow more, as also did the weapon started to glow. Smirking, "Is that not a reaction?"

"Why is it that you want this weapon?"

"It is not for I, but for my mate."

"I will let you have it. For if your mate is not capable of handling it she will not be able to use it." The young man smiled. "My name is Xin."

Sesshoumaru took grabbed of the weapon. "My mate is powerful, she will be able to use it." He said pride in his voice. "I leave the gold to you." Sesshoumaru walked away.

'I hope that she is not only powerful, but also pure hearted.' Thought Xin as he watched the demon walk away.

He landed on the balcony, his ears twitching a little as he heard a music being played.

-Music Starts(Name: Yuna's theme - EMAIL ME to have it!)-

He tuck the weapon in its sheath, hiding it. Soon he found the room the music came from, in matter of seconds he was surprised by the sight that he saw.

There she is, Kagome, standing near a large window, the sun set on her body while she plays an instrument and the music was very sincere and explained so much of her. Sesshoumaru just kept quiet and noticed that Kagome and Jin Li - which he didn't like being there - haven't noticed him.

He liked the music and remembered it it was the music that has been stuck on his mind since he started welcoming her as a friend. How did she know of this music? Was she the one that placed it in his mind?

He listened to every sound of the music. The music was the only sound that could be nearly said closed to the beauty of her voice, for all day he was travelling nothing calmed him like this or gave him full contentment.

Music Ends

"There is something...different about you." Jin Li looked at her, "Yes, you have a pure heart."

"She does." Sesshoumaru agreed.

Shocked by the voice she heard, Kagome's head instantly turned to see Sesshoumaru, who was leaning against the door. "Hey Sesshoumaru."

"Come." He said, turning around and not even glancing Jin Lin.

"See ya soon." Kagome gave a apologetically look on Jin Li's direction. She wished that she could stay longer, but she knew it wouldn't be wise to argue with Sesshoumaru.

"Kagome. I will see you at dinner time." Sesshoumaru heard Jin Li said.

Kagome was in a awe. Did he just said he has something for her? To answer her question she saw Sesshoumaru pulled out a beautiful, clothing and a weapon. The weapon was beautiful and the clothing too. She was just about to pinch herself but stopped when he stood up.

"I want you to have this."

"Ehhh... Why?"

Sesshoumaru didn't like to make excuses but he didn't really know what came over him to give it to her. "A late gift for your passed birthday and the clothing-. "

She didn't know what came over her, maybe she wanted to hug him before and she found this as her chance. Or most likely it is because she wanted to thank him for even she, was surprised by what he had said. And her last reason, she was only happy to know that Sesshoumaru did in fact think of her as a friend and will stick by her side. Right now...she didn't feel alone. "Thanks." She whispered, her face buried on his chest.

It was as if...someone had taken control of him. As if for the first time he wanted to stay like this. A human was embracing him and still, he remained where he was. What was this? Who was this? Why was this? And how was this come to be this? And before he could answer the entire questions in his head, he found his arms wrapping around her waist, embracing her back.

Pulling away, "I'm sorry..."

Her voice was guilty and before he knew he was asking, "What for?"

"The whole time you were gone, well...I thought that you wanted to abandon me or something until we find a way out of this time." The way she whispered the words were hardly hear able, yet they echoed in Sesshoumaru's head.

As much as he wanted to say that he never thought of the idea - he couldn't. For the truth was, he will do this to others...but for some unknown reason he couldn't do this to her. Maybe it was because he had marked her, but the more likely reason was...she was his friend. It never ceases to amaze him, that he would give one human woman such benefits just because she is his friend. And how he is becoming much more possessive of her. Yes, he was aware of the fact that he was being possessive, for he had felt the feeling before.

Kagome saw stared at his eyes. "Thank you..." she whispered.

"Ok... Sesshoumaru... I think I should have a bath." Kagome said looking up at the demon. They have been training since he had given her the spear. She has named it Shinjiteru. It was beautiful and she didn't know why Sesshoumaru would even bother give her gifts, but the simple fact was...he did. That was all that counts and she will do everything in her power to show her appreciation.

"You are still weak, you already tired."

"Yes, I am tired, I only have intense training in my dreams, with my trainer."

Sesshoumaru grimaced, "Why did you name it Shinjiteru?"

"You mean your gift?"

"Yes,"

"You'll know..." She looked up at his eyes. "...One day." She smiled, as she saw him turn around ands tarted walk away.

"I will see you at dinner."

Kagome sighed. Sesshoumaru... Must he always give her a cold-hearted look? Must he always act so cold-hearted? She guessed yes. But it didn't matter; he was much nicer to her than before. Not much of calling her 'wench', but she guessed that it is because she was now his "mate".

As she walked passed the hall, many servant greeted her, most giving her a nice yet scared smile. Not knowing the way to the bathroom, Kagome stopped one of the servant girls. "Can you lead me to the bathroom?" Asked Kagome. The servant nodded and Kagome followed.

Mate... Did she ever have a chance with Inuyasha? Did Inuyasha ever thought of her as his future mate? Or was he too much blinded with Kikyou to think that? It didn't matter...did it? Why was she even curious about this now? It wasn't like she was in love with Inuyasha, is it? Of course not. It must because now, she was stuck with Sesshoumaru. Maybe it was better this way, for she knew that they will never be any relationship other than friendship between them.

Maybe the worl hated her or something. Because first she had to fall in love with a hanyou who was still in love with another girl, then a friend of her falls in love with her while she is still in love with another. And when she finally gets over her first love or decides not to love him any further, h suddenly say to her that he loves her. These love triangles, it made her life sound like a dramatic tv show, which she so doubted it is.

Then soon, Kagome found herself in the same bathroom she was in before. She looked around if anyone was in there, gladly no one. Kagome took a couple of steps forwards and undressed. Most likely she is cursed, she is a Time Miko and cannot stay in one time and cannot or is not allowed to fall in love. But is this really a cursed? She gets to help people, doesn't she? And if she is not allowed to fall in love or be with anyone, what is it that Sesshoumaru is doing here by her side?

It is the mark.

On the thought, she then started to clean herself. 'At least this time wasn't as bad, they are many people here who are actually really nice.' she thought. Zhao Yun and Lord Liu Bei were really nice and she wanted to help them both. Though she has only talked with Lord Liu Bei, she believes him to be a kind ruler. He just had the nice aura that surrounded him. Then comes the other three.

Gan Ning; playful and caring, but she still has yet to see his fighting capability. But him being a general proves that he is strong enough to withstand a lot of things. Jin Yun; matured, arrogant - she hated to know, responsible, mysterious and you can hardly tell his character. She knows he is powerful, because she knows that he only used little amount of energy and that he is skilled in magic like her. Ali Yun: keen and younger than most. It was wise to say that he is in the age of 14, young to be a general but this is the ancient time. Anyone who basically turns the age of 13 is more likely to be treated older.

Sesshoumaru went back to he and Kagome's room. 'Funny,' he thought. 'I have never imagined I, Sesshoumaru, sharing a room with a human.' But it wasn't actually funny, things were changing and what was the real wrong thing was...he was seeing it and not doing anything against it. All his thought were going to the miko, he hardly thought of his castle anymore, which he should be thinking more than the miko, but he just couldn't to stop. He also started to respect her and treat her better than the way he treats most.

To think about it, he never treated anyone like her. She was human, yes but he still treated her differently from Rin and the other human race. She is his friend, his mate and right now, nothing could change that - nothing would change that. If she was to stay his mate forever, then nothing should stop her from mothering Rin. But he didn't want to be like his father, she was immortal, but she however would still remain a human.

Sesshoumaru shook his head mentally. He finds himself doing that a lot more often now. He stood up and was about to go to the dinner table when he found it. A book... It is lying down on the table. He opened it. 'Hmpn... It's a love book.' He closed it immediately. 'I don't want to know anymore.' He thought. It wasn't really a love book but a book that explains love through poems and quotes.

"Unfortunately for us, they are many Dynasty Warriors and many of them are our enemies' side as well, they might not be as skilled but they remain warriors." Gan Ning continued to talk. "Some are also even generals." He frowned, but then smiled and looked at Kagome and smirked. "The good thing though, is that we have a powerful allies, a lord demon and a powerful priestess."

Kagome smiled back Gan Ning. It never ceases to amaze her at how many people reminded her of her past friends. Gan Ning did really remind her of Miroku. He seemed really nice and very handsome. She looked around at everyone and noticed that's she was the only female at the dinner table. Most of her friends would love to be at her situation right now and if she was a normal girl, she might even admit that she would love to. Though, the problem was...she wasn't a normal girl. She was a Time Miko, who by the way is "mated" with an emotionless demon, who she was sure will never love her.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, Lady Kagome, Zhao Yun, Jin Yun, Gan Ning and Ali Yun." Lord Liu Bei addressed every one of them. "Tomorrow we are to travel to the WU Dynasty. We would want to see our allies." Lord Liu Bei smiled, knowing that if he didn't break the 'moment' that someone was going to get killed by the hands of the demon lord.

Kagome sighed. "So... I like the sound of that, I haven't been out of this place since I have arrived." She grinned.
