Moonlight Shadow
Chapter 2
immortal-san- (is thinking about who should be the disclaimer) I need someone to be the disclaimer, but Sess already "volunteered" to be the disclaimer in Winter's Calling. I could pick some random person.
Random person- Unfortunately, Miss. Immy-san does NOT own any of the Inuyasha characters. But she does own the story plot and any one who copies her work shall perish under my wrath! MUAHAAAAA!
immortal-san- What are you doing in my house? How did you get in here?
Kagome- What immy means is thank you. By the way, Thanks Wolfking, Kagome21, and Mickiy for reviewing, we hope you like the chapter.
immortal-san- (is pummeling random person) Yeah! Thanks for reviewing, but I must continue with the torture of my new victim until he/she/shaman reveals how he/she/shaman got into my household and what not. Bye! Read my story! Also, forgive me for not updating like I promised.
Chapter 2
Kagome took a step back to further the distance between her and Sesshomaru. Her eyes were narrowed from Sesshomaru's last comment and her aura began to flare. Her fists were white from clenching them so hard and she seemed very upset at his remarks. "I thought a lord such as you would have some respect for women, let alone a high-ranked miko such as me," Kagome spat.
"I show no respect for a worthless human and this Sesshomaru will not give up my claim on you. I will take the credit for your switch to the darkness. You won't get rid of me that easily," Sesshomaru retorted.
"It's amazing someone with such a big head as you can even manage to walk," Kagome turned and headed through the dark forest. She looked over her shoulder when he didn't reply, but shrugged it off and continued walking. A soft rustle could be heard in the bushes and trees as she passed them.
"Come on Sesshomaru, I know you are following me. I never thought one such as you would stoop as low to stalk me again." She whispered into the wind before coming across a path lightened by candle lanterns.

"Sesshomaru, continue to follow her. She'll be entering Rantan village in a bit. Use this necklace to hide your true form, hopefully she won't see through it. Convince her that you should be her traveling companion, use your knowledge of the land and lead her from her target destination. In fact, take her to your other home in the southern region, your mother's old summer home." A scratchy voice ordered.
"Why? I gave her the warning you asked of me to do. I only did this because my mother spoke very highly of you all. This is nothing more than mutual benefit; I refuse to be your lap dog. I am a Lord; I have duties to attend to. Not watch over some miko who guards over a pathetic jewel!" Sesshomaru snapped.
Sesshomaru stormed off, out of dreary mansion and left before the voices could speak. He stopped at the garden; all the plants except for one had died off. The blood red rose stood there boldly and for some weird reason, it mesmerized him so. The wind pattern began to change and he could sense beings surrounding him. "I guess I have no choice then, I accept your offer, old one, but I have my own reasons. I just don't feel I should waste my time on your weak fighters." He replied and vanished into thin air.

Kagome sighed as she began to eat; she had managed to find the village Kikyo had mentioned to stop at and convinced the Headman after proving she was a highly-qualified priestess to stay at his home. She finished eating and had one of the servants lead her to the outside hot springs. She sighed once more as she sunk into the warm water; her dark raven hair covered her bare shoulders.
After relaxing in the hot springs she went to her to her room and collapsed onto the futon laid out for her. Kagome began to stare at the bamboo ceiling, thinking about her encounter with the HOT, and stuck up, arrogant, HOT Sesshomaru. She could feel herself burn up as she thought about how she actually considered him being hot, but you had to be insane to not like his looks. "Wait. Why am I thinking about him? I have more important things to worry about." Kagome thought before drifting into a restless sleep.
CRASH. The sound of things colliding into each other caused Kagome to wake up to house full of panicking people. All at once a youkai's aura popped into Kagome's sleepy mind, causing her to wake up immediately. She dressed into her priestess robes and rushed out of her room. One of the servants bumped into her, sobbing and pointing in the direction she had come from. Kagome ordered her to retrieve a bow and a quiver of arrows. She came back quickly and threw them at Kagome before running to safety.
She took a deep breath and slowly walked to the front of the house; she readied her bow and arrow and looked for the youkai in charge of all this havoc. A demon about 12ft. tall stood in the middle of the entrance, she could smell a fowl stench in the air. She glanced sideways and saw the headman and his family dead on the ground, a red metallic color seeping into the floorboards. Kagome managed to hold back a cry; small tears ran down her pale face and forgotten memories found its way back to Kagome. She dropped her bow, making a clanging noise as it landed on the floor.
The night was calming; the villagers were having their annual festival, honoring the birth of the Shikon no tama. It had finally brought peace to their quant village. The stars glistened in the dark sky, making them appear to as small diamonds. A young girl held onto her father's hand, awing the beautiful scenery before her. The beauty ended, a young boy cried out, "Demons!" he was killed before he could say anymore. A band of dog demons (No, this is not Sesshomaru's clan. It will be explained in later chapters. For now, I will say this, there are different clans and different types of dog demons) appeared behind the dead boy's corpse. They began to massacre any human foolish enough to try and defeat them. The young girl's father began to run towards her mother but by the time he got there, she was dead and her baby brother was missing.
"Kagome, listen to me. Run as fast as you can, then go to the nearest village and never return to this place." The young girl's father ordered, pushing her in front of him. Kagome shook her head sideways, but the horrid screams of the villagers caused her legs to run, no matter how hard she tried to look back.

Sesshomaru smelled blood lingering in the air, it came in the direction from the village that annoying miko was staying in. He calmly walked into the village and followed the horrible stench to a large house. A 12ft. demon was in front of him, it seemed to be reaching out for something in the house. He noticed the pathetic miko huddled in the corner, he could smell her tears and blood on her. He flexed his claws before drawing tokijin and slicing the demon into nothingness.
He walked towards Kagome; the aura that flared around her during their first encounter was no longer there. Sesshomaru smirked, that meant he could come towards her and not be purified. The condition she appeared to be in was horrible. She continued to cry as he lifted her up and carried her out of the house and out of the village. He knew where he needed to go; hopefully she wouldn't wake up during the trip. And she didn't, she just clung to his armor sobbing.

Kagome woke up in a comfortable bed with silk sheet and in a red kimono. She looked at her surroundings, which didn't help, but she did sense a familiar youkai's aura. "No, it couldn't be. He didn't, did he?" She whispered. She slid off the bed and opened the door only to face…
