Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine, neither is Kagome, and I really wish Sesshomaru was.
Kagome woke up to the soft rays of the sun falling on her face warming her. She stretched and did not get up enjoying the moment.
"Are you just going to lie there all day, or do your plans involve getting up anytime soon?"
"Lord Sesshomaru," she exclaimed quickly jumping out of the bed, unfortunately she had done it so quickly she had not noticed that the bed sheets had wrapped around her causing her to fall. She quickly closed her eyes expecting the impact of the floor, instead two arms wrapped around her preventing the fall. She opened her eyes to see the golden ones looking down at her, she started to feel the intensity of his stare and lowered her gaze down so that her hair covered her face and he would not see the blush on her face.
"Im sorry, how clumsy of me, I will bring your breakfast soon."
She was walking to the kitchen carrying a tray and was about to ask for another one when she remembered what Sesshomaru had said, she would now only serve him. That would leave Inuyasha without a servant she thought, last she heard no one had been hired yet. She decided to take Sesshomaru his breakfast and would return to take Inuyasha his. When she got to his room he saw him on his study reading over papers. She quietly open the door and put his breakfast on the table in the corner and quickly excused herself.
Sesshomaru had know she was coming with his breakfast even before she knocked, he had smelled her scent and quickly took some papers and pretended to read them while she put his breakfast on the table. He had hoped she would stay, and was not happy when she quickly excused herself.
'Why I care I do not know' he thought, his actions yesterday and this morning had been surprising to him. He had woken early and had noticed she was still asleep and could not help himself from going to her room, she looked lovely sleeping, she was very peaceful and carefree.
Unfortunately she had woken while he was still in the room, yet she did not get up, she just laid there and was enjoying the warmth the sun was providing. He had decided to surprise her before she noticed he had been there before. When she had stood up and almost fallen he had quickly moved to catch her. That really surprised him, normally he would not care when a servant fell and regarded them as clumsy fools. He could not bring himself to let her get hurt, he had stared at the depth of her blue eyes when he noticed he scent start to change. He knew she was blushing, a normal human would not of known, but he sensed the change in her.
Kagome could not believe her luck, he had not even questioned her motives of leaving so suddenly, yet again she had not given him much of a chance. Before he could speak she was out of the room, she entered the kitchen again and made a tray for Inuyasha. He did not deserve how Sesshomaru was treating him, he had after all had been nothing but nice to her. Well maybe he had been a bit mean at first, but he had saved her from Kouga and had let her look at the flowers in the meadow while riding to town. When she was done she grabbed the tray and walked to his room, when she knocked he heard him say a rough come in. He had his back to her as if ignoring her.
'Well that's what I get for being nice.'
"Kagome?" he asked turning around "Oh good its you, I though I had another servant."
She smiled as she saw his act completely fade and he was once again his true self.
"No its me, I thought you might want some breakfast."
Even before she was done he was quickly eating the meal she had prepared.
"You bet, I've been starving," he said through mouthfuls "I thought I would never get my breakfast."
She started to laugh, he looked like cute little kid. ' A very hot one that is' she thought and quickly suppressed the thought, she should not be thinking like that about her masters.
"Sit down Kagome did you have any breakfast yet?"
"No not yet, I woke up and made Sesshomaru his breakfast and decided to bring you yours."
"Well why don't you join me," he said "get your breakfast."
"What?" she did not believe what he said, servants never ate with their masters.
"Come on im hungry, im sick of having no one in this castle to talk to, get your breakfast and join me"
Kagome nodded and started to walk out the door towards the kitchen.
He could not believe her, no servant had even done what she had done. They could care less what happened to him, and most were just scared and would never dare to approach him. She had defied Sesshomaru's orders by bringing him his breakfast. That thought made him smile, she was the first person in a long time that had treated him as a person and not as some tainted creature. Not to mention she was very beautiful too, he like to watch the emotions play out on her eyes. She was back with her tray before long, and she sat in front of him.
"Thank you." he said
"For what?"
"For being you."
Kagome laughed, "Okay, even though I don't understand your welcome." and smiled at him
Before long they were both talking about each other, Kagome found out that Inuyasha had a sword that he always loved to practice with and would sometimes go off by himself for hours and practice. Inuyasha learned that Kagome knew archery, her grandfather had taught her before he had to work.
"But its been a while since I have practiced, I don't know if I am any good anymore."
"Well it would be natural for skills to fade if not practiced, but tell you what why don't you come with me one of these days when I practice, I am sure I can find a bow and arrow somewhere." he smiled
"Ok then it's a promise." Kagome was at ease now, he had become a friend before long, and turns out that they both had things in common. Both had their own stubborn streak and both had hard lives growing up. They were both laughing and exchanging stories that they didn't notice and enraged Sesshomaru in the doorway.
"Hope I am not interrupting anything." he said through gritted teeth. Kagome quickly stood up but Inuyasha took her arm and told her to stay. He got up and walked in front of her.
"What the hell do you want Sesshomaru I sure as hell don't come barging in when you are in your room." Sesshomaru growled, he had not liked the way Inuyasha had touched Kagome, much less how both of them were laughing together, they almost seemed happy. That thought made him even madder.
"She is my servant," he said taking a step forward " and she will do what I say half-breed, who are you to question me?"
"Why the hell do you want her, you can have any other servant as your whore, leave her alone." With that Sesshomaru punched Inuyasha sending him flying against the wall.
Inuyasha got up, " I will not let you take her." he said growling, after that all hell broke loose.
Kagome could barely keep up with their attacks they were destroying the room, and surprisingly what she could not believe was that they were fighting for her. She couldn't take it when Inuyasha was very suddenly kicked in the stomach that he coughed blood.
"Stop it , please stop!" She could not bear if anyone got hurt because of her.
Sesshomaru stopped he could not believe how he had acted, he was actually fighting over some human. Such a petty thing he thought, but he couldn't help but feel differently. Sesshomaru just walked out giving them both his back and he was gone. Kagome ran to Inuyasha who was trying to get off the floor, but because of his wounds he could not.
"I'm sorry." she said tears starting to form in her eyes when she saw his injuries , and was surprised when a hand brushed them off.
"Don't worry, im a demon remember I heal much faster, I am sure I will be back to normal in a few hours."
Kagome looked down at him uncertain, he had gotten hurt because of her, and she could not believe it.
"Why?" she asked
He just smirked "Because," he said "I have my reasons, and I wasn't about to let Sesshomaru win either."
Kagome smiled at him, she helped him to his bed and bandaged his wounds. When she was done she excused herself.
"Wait Kagome where are you going?" She turned around.
"Sesshomaru was hurt too I saw his arm bleeding, I need to go help him."
"Your not scared are you?" he asked "you saw how it is when he gets mad yet you still want to go."
She started to panic but her kind heart would not let her. "I'm sure he wouldn't hurt me."
Before Inuyasha could say anything else she stepped out of the room.
Inuyasha was confused, she had gone to Sesshomaru and somehow he did not like it. He hated it at first when he saw her and she reminded him of Kikyo the bitch who had betrayed him which is why he was cold towards her. But when he say her kind heart he couldn't help but soften towards her. She defied orders to do what she thought was right, Kikyo was never like that. She only did things when they were for her benefit. Inuyasha also like how she was at ease with him, she did not seemed repelled by the fact that he was a half demon as are most when they learn that fact. He looked at his bandaged hand and her happy face came to mind.
'It was worth fighting for her' he thought and closed his eyes glad to have had Kagome come into his life.
Kagome was not feeling as brave as she let on, she had gone and grabbed a few healing herbs and was making her way towards Sesshomaru's room. She stopped outside his door and took a deep breath before knocking. He didn't answer but she knew he was there so she opened the door, it was dark and started to walk in when she bumped into something. Looking up she found Sesshomaru.
He growled at making her take a step back. "I came to see if you were alright." she said holding up the medicine box.
"Since when do I need the pity of a human know your place."
Kagome started to get angry, she was feeling bad enough she was the reason both of them had gotten into a fight. "You had no right to hurt him!." she yelled "he didn't do anything."
Sesshomaru was surprised to hear her yell at him, never in all his years did human or demon alike dare to raise their voice at him. But at hearing her words he started to get mad too.
He growled and slammed her to the wall making her drop the medicine box.
"So what you are telling me human is that you prefer that half-breeds company instead of mine."
He was so close to her Kagome could feel his breath, at first she was startled that he would hurt her. His eyes glowed and she saw he was angry, but what surprised her was that she also saw hurt.
"No that's not it at all, I like being with you." Startled at what she said Sesshomaru let her go, still looking down at her. He turned around enraged and punched the wall, why was he feeling like this he questioned himself. It was not like him, he was always so collected and calm, an issue with a servant never bothered him. He was so frustrated with himself that he was about to punch the wall again when a hand stopped him.
"Stop it!." It was Kagome he could she worry in her eyes "You are hurting yourself." He noticed that he had opened his wounds and had made new ones and he had not even noticed the pain.
"It is nothing it will heal." he sat down in a chair and took a deep breath expecting her to go but she didn't. He noticed that she had picked up the medicine box and was kneeling by him, she started to carefully clean his wounds and bandage them. He felt shivers go up his arm every time she touched him, she was so gentle.
"You have medical knowledge." he said his tone soft. Kagome could see he had calmed down, she was so scared when he had slammed her against the wall, yet she could not take it when he was hurting himself. When she was done she looked up to find him staring at her. She started to blush his stares would always make her feel as if he was staring into the very depths of her. She was very surprised when he delicately touched her cheek with a finger. Fingers with claws that she knew would be so dangerous, yet he was touching her so gently. She saw him, he was very beautiful, and she knew that he was also well built. She had experiences where she was against him and she could feel his well toned chest. She was starting to feel warm thinking about it when a pair of lips came crushing down on hers. She was so surprised at first but later let herself enjoy it and she started to kiss back. He brought so many feelings of passion to her. When they broke off for air mainly Kagome, Sesshomaru looked as if he wanted to kiss her again.
Kagome just looked at him, "Why did you kiss me?" she wanted to know or more, her heart needed to know.
Sesshomaru was as equally shocked as Kagome he had not expected his reaction to be as strong. Of course he did not show the confusion on his face as Kagome did. When she asked why he kissed her he could not bring himself to tell her what he had started to feel when she was looking at him. He could not bring himself to say how beautiful he thought she was instead he said "Because I always win."
Kagome could not believe it, her heart started to hurt. She did not know why, it was not long that she met Sesshomaru but his answer had hurt her. So he had only kissed her to win a stupid rivalry he thought he had with Inuyasha. She felt like she was only a object being used by him. She knew that the two brothers did not get along at all, the first thing one hears when working in the house is of the hostility both siblings have for each other. The bad part for Kagome was that when Sesshomaru had stared at her she started to feel as if he could see her soul, she had started to feel attracted to him. Lust, she had questioned herself if it was that. Yet if it was, why was her heart hurting just then? She got up and ran out of his room.
