Recall

"Fine…Fluffy, but you can't call me Miko, wench, nigen, or any other names…I am Ka-go-me but if you really have a problem you can call me Lady Sugume. Now that this is all cleared up you why did you want to find me in the first place?"

As Kagome and Sesshomaru drove off from Shadow she began to wonder about the times that she and Sesshomaru shared together, also wondering if he had ever felt the same way. After a while Kagome began to nod off eventually falling into a deep sleep. Not too soon later Sesshomaru fell asleep as well and with a little father to still go till they reached their destination he realized that this encounter was still going to lead into a lot more than he had originally planned in the first place.

Sleeping heavily in the arms of Sesshomaru brought fond memories back to Kagome of a time where she felt safe. It had been close to seven years since she was comfortable with herself let alone feeling safe around anyone, but her insecurities seemed to fade away when she was with Sesshomaru; the killing perfection.

Still sleeping deeply Kagome failed to notice that the limo came to a stop, but Sesshomaru immediately woke up with a timed perfection. Climbing out of the car Sesshomaru wisely decided that leaving Kagome in the car would not be the smartest thing to do considering the hell she would put him through later on when she did wake up. So being the kind person that he was decided that a wake up call was in order. But how was the question.

Close to four minutes of nudging, yelling and miasma Sesshomaru was ready to call the coroner to pick up Kagome once she stopped breathing because anything and everything he was trying to do to get Kagome was not working. Leaning off of Kagome he decided that leaving her in the car on second thought was not all of a bad idea. He would deal with Kagome later. As Sesshomaru moved to pick something that must have fallen out of Kagome's jacket his hand accidentally brushed up against her derrière bringing out the dead instinct brought about by a certain houshi resulting in Kagome's hand coming into immediate contact with Sesshomaru's face.

"Perverted Monk don't you ever learn!…wait you are not…Sesshomaru?...I don't believe it! You of all people taking advantage of me like that, you baka!"

Sesshomaru on the other was sitting in the chair baffled that Kagome struck him and was still in one piece, it had been close to 476 years since someone had struck him and lived to see the morning sun let alone insult him.

So as Kagome looked up to see what Sesshomaru had to say in his own defense only to see his eyes taking in a red tint to their golden depths as she quickly refreshed her memories of Sesshomaru's pride and her own unfortunate luck. She recalled all the times that Sesshomaru would have chased her around the western lands for miles on end due to her own inability to think before she acted. How unfortunate Kagome was at the current point in time. Of all the days in the year it had to be so cold today and she was wearing combat boots.

Making a mad dash out of the limo reaching around for the passenger side door Kagome figured that the best thing for her to do was to stay alive and let Sesshomaru cool off. Which more or less meant playing cat and mouse with an objective of staying alive long enough for Sesshomaru to cool off.

Once Kagome got out of the car she was going to try her very best to find somewhere Sesshomaru could not fight her; but wasting her time thinking did her no good because in an attempt to catch Kagome, Sesshomaru was able to grab hold of her trench coat. So as anyone else would have done in her position she let the coat slip right off of her shoulders and ran top speed over his lands making her way around the same castle the he had owned in the feudal era, it looked exactly the same if not better than she remembered it to be.

It took no more that 60 seconds for her to realize that running at first light in the middle of January in combat boots a low cut shirt and skirt a little shorter than what was smart without her woolen trench coat was a very bad combination. She was freezing her ass off and on top of it Sesshomaru was chasing her across the courtyard like it was nothing.

Barely keeping out of his hands for the better part of 3 hours and constantly sparring with him Kagome was able to find an open balcony running though halls, rooms and corridors she has thought that she had lost Sesshomaru in one of the rooms and deemed it safe enough to catch her breath in the next room.

Walking into the room she glanced into the room trying to familiarized herself with her surroundings. The first thing that she noticed was that the room was huge and bed was entirely covered in silk with the head board of the bed held the insignia of the western lands. Getting a bad feeling about the room she was in Kagome opened a nearby closet and noticed the traditional and infamous kimono of Sesshomaru inside. With Kagome's feeling getting worse she immediately closed the closet and looked to the far end of the room to a table entirely made up of ivory carrying three legendary swords that confirmed what she was thinking. She was in the personal chambers of the Tai-Youkai of the West Lord Sesshomaru…Kagome need to find a way out before a particular someone realized she was in there.

"Kusu I knew it, I kami how unlucky am I, of all the rooms in this place I had to choose this one. Why me there are hundreds of rooms in this place and I had to choose this one. I need to get out before Sesshomaru notices me"

Peeking her head out the door Kagome proceeded to make her way out of Sesshomaru's room, hopefully unnoticed by a particular Inu-Demon.

Meanwhile…

Stupid nigen wench how dare she strike this Sesshomaru! I can not believe that one stupid onna has this Sesshomaru running around my own home. I will take pleasure in killing her slowly for her insolence as soon as this Sesshomaru can find her.

Chasing one girl for this long is irritating, it makes finding a mate look simple. Though a woman of her caliber would make a suitable mate for this Sesshomaru considering she is a human. It is about time that this Sesshomaru finds an heir to the Western Lands. Too bad most demoness fear their own shadows let alone being fearless enough to protect themselves or any heir of mine. All they could be good for would be to please me and bleed me dry of my money.

Where is the stupid onna! She is driving me insane, I did enjoy the chase but I yearn for the kill more or less the pleasure and satisfaction of it. I need to get rid of her; she has me thinking of irreverent issues that do not even concern me.

Well, well, well what do I have here it seems to me that this Sesshomaru has found his troublesome little onna, in my own personal chambers. Not a bright one is she impertinent baka she is.

Back with Kagome…

Speaking too soon Kagome found herself in a compromising position. Sesshomaru was just outside the door and as Kagome tried to shut the door in a futile attempt to keep Sesshomaru out.

It was probably one of the stupidest ideas she had ever had but Kagome tried nonetheless.

As Kagome expected Sesshomaru had not calmed and worse he threw the door open and shut it behind him effectively removing the one exit that Kagome had in mind. But before Kagome would meet her demise she decided that it was only right for her to give Sesshomaru a run for his money. Kagome maneuvered herself away from Sesshomaru so that she was on the opposite side of his bed so that no matter what Sesshomaru would do he would eventually have to cross the bed to get to her. But as usual Kagome forgot to incorporate the insignificant detail of Sesshomaru's speed.

Kagome noticed that instead of climbing over the bed to reach Kagome he was walking around the bed. Once Kagome's logic finally kicked she realized what Sesshomaru had in mind, so she attempted to leap across the bed, more than eager to avoid Sesshomaru's wrath.

Leaping from where she was she almost made her way across the bed to the door that was on the other side. Unfortunately Sesshomaru was able to grab hold of Kagome's foot and within seconds Sesshomaru was able to pin Kagome to the bed.

Hovering over Kagome Sesshomaru chose to wisely pin his lower body weight as to prevent any more escapes. But as he looked over her body he found her exceedingly tempting as she was breathing heavily, with her clothing torn in several places showing minor but numerous cuts and scrapes on her pale moon like colored skin as she lightly glistened underneath him.

Kagome on the other hand could not stop trying to squirm out of Sesshomaru's grasp. Though it was pretty much futile she was not exactly ready to give up despite the fact Sesshomaru seemingly still wanted to kill her in their current position anyone else would think that Kagome and Sesshomaru had other intentions in mind.

After staring at Kagome for another few moments as she struggled against Sesshomaru he spoke to her in a threatening tone bordering between growling and a deadly whisper.

"Are you aware of the trouble you gave this Sesshomaru Onna? And are you also aware that you are in the private chambers of this Sesshomaru and still you do not submit to your superior."

"First of all I am not inferior to you Sesshomaru, so I advise that you get off of me before I purify your ass to hell!"

After growling at Kagome for her little outburst Sesshomaru did the strangest thing by burying his head into the crook of her neck licking and at few bleeding wounds that caught Sesshomaru's attention. For some strange reason he did not want her to be wounded in any way, but chose to keep that detail to himself but either way would not allow her to get away with her smart remarks.

Sesshomaru nipped sharply at Kagome's neck slowly whispering into the crook of neck. "Onna, mark my words I advise you learn your place and quickly. It would be of your best interests for you to stop your tedious resistance against me, it is futile and my patience with you is wearing thin. So if you submit now I will be lenient in my actions for your female impudence. Was I clear enough for you Ka-go-me?"

Showing her throat openly to Sesshomaru she sighed in defeat she knew better than most people that Inu-demons are prideful and arrogant creatures and the fact that Sesshomaru was still giving her a chance to live to see another sunrise was a rare opportunity. Especially if it is a Tai-Youkai like Sesshomaru. So after thinking for a few seconds she knew subconsciously that she could get him back later, for now she would bow down in submission to Sesshomaru.

"Hai Lord Sesshomaru, I submit to you…"

Needless to say that subliminally Kagome was saying alone the lines of…

"Stupid Inu with your stupid Inu pride, fine I will not try to kick your ass for now…but ooh I will get you back. Kami how I wish I had Inu-yasha's subduing necklace, how I wish it sit Sesshomaru and his youko into the seventh layer of hell right now. Why is my luck with Inu's so bad?"

On the other hand Sesshomaru was pleased with Kagome's response though no one would be able to tell with Sesshomaru's stoic mask in place but all the same he resumed with nuzzling and licking at the crook of Kagome's neck. As expected Kagome tensed up and tried to move out of his grasp but to no avail when Sesshomaru had nipped at her neck effectively stilling her movements.

By this time around Kagome was completely taken aback by what Sesshomaru was doing. Granted it looked to her like he was healing the scrapes the she had gotten for their tryst but the fact that she a miko it was more than apparent that she could do it on her own. So why was licking at her like she had some type of exotic natural flavoring?

"Erm… Sesshomaru what in Kami's name are you doing to me, if you are worried about the cuts I got don't worry about them. Remember I am a miko I can heal something as simple as this no problem. So you can stop."

"This Sesshomaru is not really concerned about your wounds Kagome. At the current point in time I have other intentions. None of which needing much of your attentions. So enjoy my ministrations to your body while they last. Otherwise this Sesshomaru will have to take additional measures to make sure you remain submissive to me."

Sesshomaru was driving Kagome absolutely nuts but chose to stay silent because in almost any other scenario she knew that she would of not thought twice about his actions. So she sat there until he stopped which was to too soon afterward. Leaving Kagome alone in the bed still frustrated at him but strangely calm at the same time.

As Sesshomaru left the room he seemed extremely calm compared to his usual disposition almost scaring her if not for the fact that she was completely aware that she had don't nothing less than what he asked from Kagome leaving her in the clear. So as he took his final steps out of the room he told her…

"Kagome, this Sesshomaru will be back soon but until my 'other side' fully returns you are welcomed to stay in this room dinner will be served promptly when the sun sets over the western hills and I will see to it that you get some clothes better suited for the weather. If you want to bathe before I return there is a hot spring and other bathing supplies in the room to your right. So till we meet again. Farewell Kagome."

Closing the door behind him Kagome looked around for a clock in order to find out what time it was but to her luck there happened to be no clock in the room. So looking out the window she estimated that she had only about an hour till dinner which was plenty of time for her to properly groom herself.

Heading for the door Sesshomaru pointed out Kagome inwardly complained about her ruined clothing and the aches of running around the largest castle of Japan in combat boots. But only seconds later she had an orgasmic experience when she saw the royal bath room of the west. None of the hot springs or spas that Kagome had ever been to even compared to the elegance and magnificence of this one room. It was definite; Kagome was positive that Sesshomaru had a gay decorator to create this room. The walls themselves made of pure ivory laced with gold engravings in intricate designs all leading to one focal point the door that Kagome had come through only moments before. There were no words to describe it.

Stripping her self of her clothing Kagome found herself battling her combat boots because for some evil reason they would not come off of her feet and in a moment she melted the laces under her finger tips, thus eliminating the boot problem. Normally Kagome would have logically analyzed why and how she melted the laces to her boots but due to her state of child like merriment she merely pegged it off as a creative solution to a problem.

Quickly turning around Kagome got a whiff of her self and was embarrassed with the way she smelled. She did not smell bad but she noticed that her natural scene was covered in sweat and Sesshomaru's scent. Smelling like Sesshomaru was more that Kagome would have liked. Luckily to Kagome's right was an assortment of bathing supplies ripe for the taking and by the time Kagome left the bath room there would not be a trace of any smell besides her own natural scent and that of the perfumed delights now in her hands.

Looking over the large room she wondered where to start her delights and after several moments scanning the room her gaze fell upon a man made waterfall which was simply made but still beautiful. Slipping into the delectate water she sat in the water allowing the many made waters to massage her temple and cascade down her shoulders into the water below. After a while of this she got out of the pool like tub completely content with her self and remembered to purify herself of what was left of her minor cuts and scrapes. Getting a quick whiff of her self Kagome still smelled a little like Sesshomaru but hopefully not as strong as before. Kagome could only hope that no one asked her about it.

Making her way back to Sesshomaru's personal chambers Kagome noted that the clothes that she had worn to the castle were completely gone, though she doubted that they would be of any use to her anyways. Once she gotten into the room she saw that there was a kimono set out on the bed accompanying a couple other accessories. The kimono itself was breath taking; it was completely silver with green and black stitching in the elaborate design of dragons battling in the background of a field of cotton blossoms. On the right arm on the kimono was the insignia of the western lands. By the time Kagome realized that the kimono itself had a slit on both sides ending just above the widest part of her hips giving a inclusive view of her assets which was not on the agenda for Kagome but only moments later became aware that the kimono came with pants thus completing the ensemble.

Looking in to the mirror Kagome complemented her self on how good she looked and sheer seconds later a knock on the door. Moving to answer it who ever was there decided that she was taking too long and open the door themselves. Needless to say she was surprised at what she saw.

"Ohh Kagome, Rin thinks you look fantastic Rin knew the she chose the perfect kimono for you." Bubbled the innocent girl

Completely speechless at what she was seeing Kagome fell to her knees and hugged the still naïve youngster wanting to make sure that the girl that she had known from long ago was really there. "Rin is that really you, no it can't be, I mean it has been 500 years and you look barely14. How did you live for all these years? I mean I am overjoyed to see you and all but how are you alive?"

Kagome did not realize that she was hugging Rin a little too tightly almost crushing the girl. "Kagome could you let go, can't breathe."

Letting the girl go Kagome saw something unfurl from Rin's waist, being none other than the infamous Inu-demon tail.

"Well Kagome Rin has you to thank when it comes down to why Rin is still here. When you made the wish everyone got a chance at total happiness but Rin was happiest with Lord Sesshomaru so the jewel gave me the option of staying with Sesshomaru until I found a mate of Rin's own one day or living as a human in a family that would abuse each other until Rin dies being attacked by bandits when Rin became 10. Rin chose Lord Sesshomaru because he is good to Rin and then was changed into a demon just like Lord Sesshomaru. But it all happened after you left Rin and Lord Sesshomaru."

"Oh are you happy with Sesshomaru Rin?"

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru is very good to Rin; he is good to Kirara too."

"Kirara is alive too? Where is she?"

"She is with Lord Sesshomaru in the dining room waiting for Rin to Kagome because she was taking too long in the bath. Lord Sesshomaru is not very patient and he also said that you would most likely get lost again. But Rin has a question. Why are you in Lord Sesshomaru's private room Kagome?

Kagome had an explanation to that question for Rin but chose against saying it because she doubt it you make any sense at all to a child her age.

"Well would you look at the time I bet that Sesshomaru is getting aggravated waiting on us girls lets go down to dinner, lead the way Rin I am starved."

Half way to the dinning room Rin stopped in her tracks abruptly turning to face clearly aggravated with her self.

"Kagome, Rin has another question you don't have to answer but it is driving Rin up a wall, well really it is three questions but I will tell you about those later. My question is why do you smell like Sesshomaru so strongly if you have only been here for a little while?"

Kagome tensed up she could have sworn that she had at least scrubbed herself so that no one would really notice anything other than her natural scent.

Grr, why is it that Inu-demons have such strong noses when they sniff around me?

Kagome had to lie and quick, in most cases Kagome would choose to tell the truth no matter what but right now lying to Rin would be in the best interest of everyone until Kagome got some answers.

"Well Rin, Sesshomaru and I were sparring full contact so I guess that is I smell like him a little"

Well it was not a complete lie…

"Kagome don't you remember that Inu-demons have a very powerful sense of smell so Rin can tell that you smell a lot like Sesshomaru and Rin knows you are lying too, but Rin will forget about it for now"

Continuing down the hall Kagome followed Rin down the door until she met you with two oaken doors. Pushing the doors open Rin proceeded to take her own seat to the left of Sesshomaru while Sesshomaru gestured Kagome to take her own seat to the right of him which was slightly peculiar but pushed it to the side as Kagome heard the dinner bell ring and saw the chefs bring in an variety of foods and set them on the table.

Dinner was pleasant but uncomfortably tense between Sesshomaru and Kagome though Rin chose not to expose that fact to them. So by the time dinner, desert and tea had passed it was obvious that Rin was very tried as she was falling asleep in her chair because she did not want to miss any thing Kagome was saying. As a solution Sesshomaru called for a servant to help Rin to her chambers in order for her to go to bed properly so that Rin would not be cranky for her lessons that morning.

After the finishing their tea Sesshomaru and Kagome went to Rin's room to tuck her in for the night. Once they were sure that Rin was asleep for the night Kagome decided that she might as well break the glacier that was forming in between her and Sesshomaru but he beat her to it.

"Kagome follow me to the study, I know it is getting late but we need to talk about what happened this morning and other pending matters that are concerning me."

Following Sesshomaru without question she headed to the study with him thinking about the crazy day that she had, her Kawasaki, her Billy problem, and a new exhibit that was going to be opened at the Museum of Historical Folklore and Mythology. Losing track of where she was walking Kagome accidentally bumped into Sesshomaru who merely rolled his eyes at her.

Doing the strangest thing Sesshomaru knelt at Kagome's feet and picked up a small ball of fur that looked like a small feline. Gently nudging the creature awake he preceded to hand it to Kagome.

"This is Kirara if you have not noticed Kagome. Kirara has been very loyal to me over the last 500 years and has saved my life many times this Sesshomaru prides in the fact to have known such a loyal creature."

Being overjoyed at seeing Kirara again she stroked the feline as Kirara took the liberty at licking at Kagome's hand as a sign of affection. A little while later Kagome put Kirara down and allowed her to go on with the rest of her night but not before Kirara had began purring and rubbed against Sesshomaru before taking her leave.

Kagome was amazed at how much Sesshomaru hat truly changed over the years. Sure he was still an over arrogant demon that had the body of a sex god, but he had developed a place in his heart for the people that cared for him.

"Kagome, did you know it is rude to stare or did you forget about that over the years."

Oh yea, still an arrogant demon no changing that is there.

"My apologies Sesshomaru but it is getting very late so it brings me to ask why did you bring me here to say?"

"Well Kagome this Sesshomaru wants to know how it is that you are turning into a demon, an Inu-demon at that. This Sesshomaru thought that I was imaginating it at first but now I am sure of it. Also this Sesshomaru why is it that my scent is so strongly placed on you."
