Ok, absolutely no more chapters after this point unless I get reviews!

Chapter 3: Sesshomaru

Kagome ran into the forest. She wanted to find Sesshomaru for some reason. After that day when she saw him bathing...she couldn't stop thinking about him. It hurt a little, because she still loved InuYasha, but deep down inside she knew he'd never get over Kikyo and that she was the reason he decided to not get married to Kagome. It really saddened her, but the thought that maybe, just maybe she had a chance with Sesshomaru kept her heart alive.

"Kagome!" The voice of a little girl called from behind. "What are you doing here, so close to Lord Sesshomaru's territory?"

Kagome looked back to see Rin smiling up at her. She stopped and waited for Rin to catch up. Then it hit her. Rin was the only human Sesshomaru even gave a crap about. He wouldn't love HER. She fell to her knees just as Rin caught up and cried.

"Kagome?" Rin asked. "What's wrong?"

"I-InuY-Yasha l-loves K-Kikyo!" Kagome cried.

"I thought you two were getting married?" Rin exclaimed sadly. "I'm so sorry Kagome!"

Kagome dried her eyes. She'd never have a chance with Sesshomaru if she was going to be a whiny baby. From now on, she was going to change. She couldn't be the same crybaby she was when she was with InuYasha. Maybe that's why he left me?

"It's ok, Rin," Kagome smiled and patted the girl's head. "He's not worth crying over. No one is. I know that now."

"So you finally see things the way I do," An emotionless voice said from behind. "That half breed is nothing."

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said happily, running up to him.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome said shakily. The way he had said half breed made her shiver. Does he really hate humans that much?

"Lord Sesshomaru, Kagome needs a place to stay!" Rin said sadly. "That mean InuYasha hurt her! Can she stay with us?"

"No," Sesshomaru said.

"Please!" She pleaded, tears coming to her eyes. "Master Jaken is so boring! I need someone to talk to."

Sesshomaru stayed quiet for a long time. He sighed. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt."

"Yay!" Rin jumped up and down happily.

"Just know that this isn't kindness to you, Kagome," Sesshomaru said. "It is at Rin's request that you stay."

"Hai," Kagome smiled. She couldn't believe her luck. She was going to be living with Sesshomaru. Maybe she could get close to him, so he'd care about her, too? Maybe she now had a chance? Was this fate? I don't know what it is, but I'm thankful for it!

And so, Kagome's life living with her new love started.
