Kagome woke up in a warm soft bed. She moved around under the warm

blankets groaning a little. She stretched her mussels groaned as well; from the running she did last night. "Mama? Grand-grand?" Kagome said in a soft voice. Kagome looked around the stone room, and everything that happened last night came rushing back, the robbers, her mother screaming, jumping in to the well, the snake guy, him biting her, releasing power, then running, falling down in water, then… Then what happened?

Kagome blinked and looked around, everything looked like a threat now. The

swords on the wall scared her the most. She looked around eyes wide fear riding her. Then she saw a figure on the foot of the bed. Kagome quickly curled up into a ball and spoke softly fear every clear in her voice. "Hello?" The figure didn't move, so she spoke a little louder. "Hello?" The figure moaned and got up to stretch. Kagome froze and looked the woman over. She was tall, and leggy, she had long tree bark brown hair that she pulled back in to a high ponytail. Her eyes were a soft grass green and her lips were light rose pink. Her figure was slim, and petite, she was wearing a kimono that was pure brown and it made her dark skin glow.

"Well good morning child." Ai said with a warm smile. The smile made Kagome calm down a little, but she was still fighting the urge to run. "Awww. What's wrong my dear? Afraid to talk, its ok I'll wait." She said as she laid her back against the foot post and watched her with those beautiful green eyes. Those eyes reminded Kagome of forest, the color of trees in summer. She just stared at the woman and could feel a strange power coming from her aura. "Well so you know my name is Ai, and you are in the Lord of the Western Lands home. You should feel very honored. He usually would never let a human in to his home." Ai said.

Kagome was touched by this show of kindness, and her fear was almost gone now, but who was this Lord of the Western Lands? "I'm…my name is Kagome." She said softly as she moved out from underneath the blankets. To Kagome's surprise she wasn't wearing her Pajamas, but a sleeping dress. She had no other word for it. "Kagome? Well that's a nice name. So what do you wish to do Kagome?" Ai said standing up, and Kagome was right she was in fact very leggy. "As tall as a tree." Her mother would say. Kagome blushed as the compliment and shrugged. "I don't know, do you have any dolls?" She asked sounding very childish.

Ai blinked in confusion. Then she remembered and walked to a chest in front of the bed. She pulled out three wooden dolls. One of a samurai the other of a villager and the last one was an evil looking doll; that looked like a mesh of broken parts. "Ok here we go. Who do you want to be?" Ai asked as she put the dolls down on the bed. Kagome picked up the villager and started to play with it. "Ahhh…another hard day of work." Kagome said through pressed lips. She moved the doll as if her was walking home. "I shall devour you!" Ai said as she moved the mesh doll up to Kagome's villager doll.

"Oh no! Help me!" Kagome moved the doll away from Ai's doll and tried to make it look like he was running. " I shall save you." Kagome picked up the samurai doll and made him move to the mess doll. "Prepare to taste metal!" She called moving the dolls sword hand up and down on to the enemy. "Ahhhh!" Ai cried as she moved the mesh doll away from the samurai doll. "Get back here!" Kagome said throwing her doll and hitting Ai's. "Agggg!" Ai cried and laid the doll down in defeat.

They played like that for what seemed to be hours, then…

The doors busted open and a vary tall man walked in. He had long flowing silver hair with marks on his face and arms. A crescent moon mark adorned on his head, his eyes were like liquid gold. He had armor on, but under that a pure white kimono made of silk his skin was like ivory and he exuded power. "Ai my mate requests your presences." He said in a rumbling voice. Ai bowed down and nodded her head. "Yes master." She muttered before getting up and walking out.

Kagome looked at the man and fear went through her. "Ummm…" She said trying to put her fear behind her, and failing horribly. "It is good to see you awake. I'm The Lord of the Western Lands. And you are in my home. Do you know why?" He asked tilting his head to the side. "Well Ai told me that you had fount me and that I should be very happy that it was you who did, but no. I don't know why you took me in." She said her voice soft. He nodded and sat on the bed. Even sitting down he looked powerful. "I was going to keep you as a cleaning maid, but seeing as how my mate just gave birth to my son I shall keep you as a friend for him. So he won't grow up to be spoiled." He said with a superior tone.

Kagome just looked at him and blinked. The look on her face told him that clearly she did not understand what he was saying. He sighed and looked at the little girl. "I want you to be his playmate." Kagome's face lit up letting him know that she understood now. "My I see him?" She asked voice a little excited. He looked down at her and smiled warmly. She will make a great playmate for Sesshoumaru. I know that time changes people, but I have a feeling about this girl…He thought as he patted the girl's head. "So little one what is your name?" His voice was great at carrying his emotions, but when he used a normal tone it sounded odd. It was like a piece of perfection sinning, it just wasn't right.

"My name is Kagome." She said with a bow. She had remembered Ai bowing down and she had not. So she tried to make up for it now. "Kagome…Such a beautiful name. There is no need to bow. This is a casual event, not a formal." She told her voice comforting, and his face impassive. She nodded and smiled jumping up on to the bed. The lord nodded his head and gracefully got up, as if he was a puppet pulled by strings.

Kagome gasped at his gracefulness and stared in awe. The great lord looked at the little girl and smiled. She will be a great friend to my children, he thought as he said in an empty voice. "Come on now, let's go see my pup and mate." Kagome got off the bed and nearly tripped on her long kimono. "Careful now. We don't want you getting hurt." He said putting a hand on her little shoulder to steady her. Kagome laughed at her ungraceful ness. The demon lord smiled and nodded his head walking out of the room. Kagome fallowed him smiling and humming all the way.

They entered a huge room that was twice the size of the one Kagome was staying in. On the bed was a beautiful female demon. She had long golden hair and markings like the lord on her face. Her eyes were a stunning blue and her lips were a soft light pink. Her hair flowed out around her like a golden blanket. She looked peaceful, but the voice that came out was everything but.

"Where were you? How many times have I told you never to leave Sesshoumau alone? And for what a human girl? How could you?" She yelled. Ai was bowing down on the floor, as low as she could. She said, "I'm sorry my lady, and I never meant any harm my lady" And things of that nature over and over again.

Kagome's body shook with fear. How could this woman in all her beauty be so mean and hurtful? That thought went around and around her mind so many times that it made her dizzy just to think about it. "I should kill you for disobeying me again, but I'll be nice and let you off with a near death beating." She said voice going cold and distant. Ai froze in her place, Kagome had look very closely to see if she was even breathing.

The woman on the bed raised her hand and let her power flow in to one of her fingers. She thought whip, and a whip of power and energy formed at the tip of her finger.

While she was calling her power Kagome saw a gleam on the woman's for head. It was a faint purple glow, and Kagome felt a power so strong that it staggered her, only the demon lord's hand on her shoulder kept her from falling.
