Disclaimer- I/she don't own Inu Yasha

"She runs surprisingly fast for a human. He thought raising one sliver eye brow as he watched her take off away from him. But, I don't wish to catch her. I will follow her and observes what she does." He thought.

He then followed at a safe but close distance from the girl. He watched her desperately looking for something. She then came upon the road that lead to his castle. The female frantically raced up the stairs leading to the enormous doors.

"Have to get there." He heard her mumble under her breath. Sesshomaru slowly walked on the path behind her keeping his distance.

"Please someone help!" she yelled.

Loosing her footing on the stairs, she fell. She weakly turned her head. Sheet lightning lit up entryway. She looked back at him in agony. Then slowly her eyes clouded over and her eyelids veiled her eyes.

Sesshomaru slowly climbed the stairs till he was towering over the unconscious form. He bent down and gathered her up in his arms. ( bridal style) He studied her perfectly shaped face and body. He always has disgusted humans.

"Why should I spare your life…" he whispered dangerously.

He then removed his right arm from under her. Ghastly glowing emerald poison dripped from his perfectly razor sharp claws ready to strike. His eyes shown like the rays of dawn as he raised his claws to the heavens. A long silence passed ready for the execution. But something was wrong. Instead of the desire to kill the mortal he felt longing not to. He stood there in complete silence.

Suddenly, the massive doors of the castle creaked open. Sesshomaru s' attention was torn and his eyes quickly averted too a little girl standing in the door way. He put his hand down and the poison disappeared.

"Rin why aren't you in bed?" Sesshomaru said with a stern voice.

"Rin woke up by something screaming help. So Rin decided to see what it was." She said in an innocent voice. She then got a curious look in her sweet eyes. "Sesshomaru-sama what is that."

She hurried to his side and looked up at the thing he was holding.

Sesshomaru sighed wearily and knelt on one knee. Rin peered curiously on the sleeping form. Rin s' face lit up and she squealed in delight.

"It's a lady! Is she Rin s' new mommy!" she looked up hopefully into Sesshomaru s' golden eyes. Sesshomaru felt taken back and amused by Rin s' question, but kept his emotionless gaze on the little girl.

He then looked down at the girls closed eyes and thought. "Ever since I resurrected Rin with the Tessaiga and aloud her to travel with Jaken and I, she had always thought of me as a father. Rin needs a human female to give her guidance. A woman to teach and look after her. His eyes narrowed.

"Could this human girl be the answer?" he thought.

Without takeing his eyes off hers. He stood up and started walking towards the castle doors, with Kagome in his arms.

"We will see Rin." He stated

"Yippee!" she cheered and jumped in the air clapping her hands.

Kouga s' Palace

Meashe was in total panic, all afternoon she had called and searched for Kagome. She now was racing through rooms and halls trying to find her lord Kouga.

Looking frantically side to side she finally found him in the servants' quarters. He was with two of his wolf comrades talking to some other servants. Then, one of the servants spotted her and pointed a accusing finger at her.

"There she is my lord! There is Meashe." The servant rang out.

Kouga them turned and growled. "Meashe where is Kagome, she is not in her chamber!" Meashe swallowed hard.

"My...my Lord, Kagome is missing."

Kouga s' eyes widened and his mouth slightly dropped.

"What did you say!" Kouga said with disbelief.

"Someone must of taken her my lord!" the servant started to cry. She then dropped to her knees and put her forehead to the ground. "I am sorry my lord." She sobbed.

Kouga felt anger build in him. He cinched his fist. "No one takes my Kagome!" he growled dangerously.

He then turned to his servants. "Go search for the human girl Kagome!" he ordered. "In the fortress, on the castle grounds, everywhere!"

Then he faced his two best fighting comrades who slightly jumped when he did.

"You two follow me!" then he sped off.

They bother looked at each other nodded and followed.

Sesshomaru s' castle

The warm sunlight poured through an open window where Kagome slept. An amber colored bird with raven black tips on it wings and tail, sung by a near by cherry blossom tree.
Its light pink flowers starting to bloom after the lightning storm from the night before. Water droplets sparkled like jewels on all the land. But as the dawn was breaking, the mist started to fade away. The warm sunlight crept over Kagome s' face.

Kagome slowly awoke to feel silky fabric covering her. Trying to remember how she got there. She sat up and scanned her surroundings. She then realized she was lying on a richly royal bed made of silk. Beautiful patterns covered the sheets in colors of electric blue and gold. A sheer drape hung over the bed.

"Where am I?" she thought raking her brain for answers. Then it hit her. "I was running from something…that thing what was it? What was chasing me."

She reached out her hand and pulled back the drape. The sight took her breath away. Everything in the room was like it was made for a goddess. Beautiful furniture was engraved with exquisite markings and patterns made with gold leaf. A gorgeous dresser was across the room. A decorated vase rested on it filled with freshly picked water lilies. Some sweet smelling perfume lingered in the air.

"What is this place?" Kagome spoke in awe and wonder.

"You my girl, are in the great Sesshomaru s' castle." Said a friendly tone.

"Who said that?" Kagome shrieked. She wildly looked around the room. Then she saw in the entryway that entered into her room was a dark clothed figure leaning against the door frame.

"Please do not fear me." Said the shadowed figure.

"Who are you?" Kagome started to tremble in fear.

Then the figure emerged from the shadows. His soft looking white hair reached slightly above his shoulders. He was cloaked in an ebony cape, with a black leather tie around his waist. He looked around 18 or 19 years old. But the thing that really stood out was his eyes. They were like no others. His eyes were like amethysts shining in the moonlight of a full moon.

"My name is Kiron and I desire to know the name of this beauty is in front of me?" he said with soothing voice.

Kagome slightly blushed at being called beautiful. "Uhh…K k..kagome." She stuttered.

"Well Kagome I must take my leave soon but fist to tell you, your kimonos and bath supplies will be provided by your personal hand maid

"Well Kagome I must take my leave soon, but first to tell you your bath supplies will be provided by your hand maid Sasha." He started to turn and leave when Kagome suddenly spoke out.

"Wait, how did I get here?"

He chuckled "Don't fret, after you are cleaned up and dressed properly, all will be explained.

"Cleaned…up?" she looked down at herself. Dirt and mud caked her torn peasant clothes. "Oh." She said and blush with embarrassment.

Kiron smiled fondly. He started to leave when he was suddenly almost knocked down by a little girl who ran into the room. She flew into Kagome and gave her a warm hug.

"What the…Oowf Kagome was cut off as the air in her was squeezed out of her.

"Rin is so happy Rin s' new mommy is awake!" She then gave Kagome a huge grin.

"Mommy?" Kagome squeaked trying to breath. The child released Kagome from the tight embrace and nodded vigorously.

"Yep!" Rin beamed.

Out of breath Kagome looked up at Kiron, who was trying not to laugh, but failed and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha I'm sorry! Hahaha."

"Your Rin s' mommy, cus Lord Sesshomaru-Sama saved you from the scary storm." Rin said with a cute grin.

"Saved me?" Kagome said with a confused look.

Whipping a tear from his eye Kiron started to speak. "Indeed… (gasp)...hehe… (Ahem) our Lord…Sesshomaru, took you in. A mess you were my lady. But we did our best to heal you…" pausing for a moment, Kiron noticed something outside the room. "And here she is your personal hand maid Sasha."

A female youkai then entered the room. She had light pink hair with two snowy white velvet ears that stuck up out of it and a fluffy white tail. She was dressed in a simple kimono with a silver sash around it. She looked the same age as Kagome.
