Ch.5 The Cursed Springs

"Yes," Sesshomaru said," This Sesshomaru promises not to tell if it will help out with the situation."

"Very well, there is a spring that lays dormant under this castle. It was placed under our protection along time ago. The spring was capable of turning a mortal into a Dog demon. The mortal had to want to be a dog demon for it to work. I thought you would like to know that Kagome could become a demon, but I wanted to make sure she was the right one for you.

So you see this is important that you do not tell any one. Those springs hold more power than that," InuTaisho said.

"So you mean she can become a dog demon," asked Sesshomaru.

"Yes and I am glad you like Kagome," InuTaisho said.

"Who ever said this Sesshomaru liked her. Just because she can become full demon does not change anything. It will not make me like her more. This is no more than a physical attraction, and just like physical attractions it will go away," Sesshomaru seethed.

InuTaisho just nodded his son. He would allow his son act if he did not care, but when it came down to it. It was not just some physical attraction. It was much more.

Sesshomaru hoped she was still asleep, and had not heard what he said. He did not want anyone to know what he felt. He didn't want to get close to Kagome, but it seemed too late.

After the pain he had suffered, he did not want to risk losing anyone else. He had never truly been like this. He was once carefree and uncaring. He had once shown his emotions, but after his mother's death. He didn't want to feel that heart wrenching pain. He saw his father as he also suffered from the lost.

The only thing Sesshomaru had learned from that was to never let anyone get close to him. Close enough to hurt him. That meant no mate, no friends, nothing. If there was no one to cause the pain then there would be no pain. Just the forever abyss of loneliness, but that he could cope with.

InuTaisho had left telling him she was still asleep, and no need to worry about her hearing. He walked out the door and shut it behind him. He shook his head at his son's behavior. He knew he was lying straight through his teeth.

Back in Sesshomaru's room, he was sitting there still holding Kagome. He was going over the new information he had just received. He could turn Kagome into a demon and not lose her, or he could get rid of her and search for another demoness. His father had already said that that idea was out of the question.

Which only left Kagome, but would she want to become a demon. She had to agree with becoming a demon to become one. His head was starting to pound, which reminded him of the time he drank sake.

He let out a sigh only to be greeted with a groan from the woman in his arms. Kagome stretched out. Expanding her body straight out till she was at her normal height on the ground.

Sesshomaru looked down at her and smirked. "Sleep well last night," he asked.

"Yes, I did….," She stopped and looked around," Where the hell am I!"

"You forgot that soon my love," he said teasingly.

"Oh My God! I thought it was all a bad dream."

"This Sesshomaru could never be a bad dream."

"…" She didn't want to agree with him, but he was right.

"Get dressed. Breakfast will be served soon. This Sesshomaru expects you to be there. There is a kimono in that closet," he said as he pointed to the closet.

Sesshomaru released his hold on Kagome, and got up and left the room. Kagome was left in complete silence.

Well, if he thinks I am just going to dress and come down. He has another thing for him. He is an ass. A very nice ass…Wait, what am I thinking! Bad! Bad! Kagome was brought out of her thoughts by a knock on the door.

"Come In," Kagome said hesitantly. In walked two women, one was a little girl about ten years old, and wore an orange checkered kimono. While the elder women who looked to be two years older than her, was in a black tight fighting suit.

"Look at the pretty Lady that Sesshomaru is to mate," cried out the little girl.

"Shh, Rin," said the elder girl," Lady Kagome, I am Sango. I am a demon slayer, and Lord InuTaisho said I was to protect you. This is Rin. She will help you get dressed."

"Thank you," was all Kagome could say. So they do care.

"I have the kimono that Sesshomaru-sama told me to make you wear," said Rin as she held up the baby blue kimono with a white obi. It had on the left shoulder two white dog prints.

"Oh my, it is beautiful," gasped Kagome.

"Yeah, Prince Sesshomaru alone takes the best," replied Sango.

"I guess I am not the best," said Kagome as she looked down.

"You have to be the best," said Sango," Or you would not be alive right now. Nor would you be allowed to wear that kimono."

"What do you mean," asked Kagome as she looked Sango in the eyes.

"This kimono belonged to Sesshomaru's mother," Rin said as she ran over to Kagome with the kimono in her arms.

"But why would he let me use it then," asked Kagome again confused with the demon prince.

"Like I said you are the best," said Sango as she held up the kimono so Kagome could slip into it.

Kagome put the kimono on with the help of her guard Sango and the little girl Rin.

"So how did the two of you come to the palace," Kagome asked as she turned to stare at each.

"Sesshomaru-sama saved Rin from wolves. While I came here to serve Lord InuTaisho," Sango said as she watched the expression on Kagome's face.

"I knew it. Sesshomaru is just a big push over," said Kagome as she clapped her hands together.

"This Sesshomaru would like you to refrain from calling him a push over," Sesshomaru said as he entered the room behind Kagome.

Sango and Rin bowed to the demon prince. Kagome whipped around to meet the demon, only to be met with air.

"Cause I assure you that this Sesshomaru can show you more than you bargained for," he whispered in her ear from behind her. He let out a small puff of air on her neck that sent shivers down her spine.

"We have dressed her like you said Sesshomaru-sama," said both Rin and Sango.

"This Sesshomaru can see that. Now go down to the dinning hall and wait there."

"Yes Sesshomaru-sama."

With that both Rin and Sango went to the dinning hall, leaving Kagome with Sesshomaru all by her self.

Sesshomaru took a deep breath of Kagome's scent while he stroked her hair. He didn't know exactly what kept him wanting her, and it was not just his demon instincts. He had just been in the dinning hall for about three minutes after he told Sango and Rin to help Kagome. All he wanted to do was race back to his room and get Kagome.

Her presence for some odd reason calmed his demon instincts. When she was not around his instincts were going wild. It would jump from one thing to another as to why she was taking so long. The worst it had come up with was she had been kidnapped by some stupid demon in heat.

"Uh… Why did you let me wear your mother's kimono," Kagome asked as she broke the silence.

"This Sesshomaru has his reasons."

"Well no duh! So what are those reasons?"

"The kimono needs to be worn and you are my soon to be mate."

"Hey, idiot stop hugging your wench and get your ass down to the dinning hall," said InuYasha as he passed the door.

Kikyo was wrapped around his arm. Kagome could not believe her sister would do such a thing. But then again, I am doing the same thing. Kagome thought as she let out a sigh.

Sesshomaru could sense that there was something wrong, but he didn't know what it was. He took hold of her arm and gently tugged her toward the dinning hall. He would see to it that she was happy and that he never heard that dreadful sigh again.
