Hi guys! Thanks for all of the reviews! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a few days. I was on a trip from Pensacola, Florida to Miami for my sisters state gymnastics competition. So of course, I didn't have any access to a computer! A bunch of you said it was funny, well I hope I can keep up my sense of humor! Anyway, the question at the bottom of my last chapter, well, ChibiSanchan, got it right! Now before I tell you the answer, I'll have to let you know that my dad asked me that question (because he's that kind of weirdo) and I said it out loud! You should ask like your archenemy this question to embarrass them (ask in front of a bunch of people or it won't work). Okay, question: If quizzes are quizzical, then what are tests? Answer: (this is gross I know, but had to get someone else to say it like I did) Testicals! Ewww!

Oh guys, StarPrincess2020 got it right! Kagome is a Siren. One of those Greek mythology creatures. The only thing is she's a hybrid, a cross between a powerful demon and a siren. That's why she has legs and the powers of a demon.

Disclaimer: Yeah you know the drill… I don't own Inuyasha… blah, blah, blah.

Summary: Kagome's different, and was banished from her home because of it. Now when she runs into trouble away from home, a great lord unexpectedly saves her! Sesshomaru and Kagome story! I suck at summaries so just read the story!

Part 3

Chapter 3

Kagome stared at Sesshomaru for a moment, then in a very ingenious manner she asked, "Huh?" Her slender eyebrows came together and her face held a look of confusion.

"You are to travel with me for the time being." Sesshomaru replied in an annoyed tone. He glanced at her face and added, "Must I repeat everything?"

Kagome looked at him strangely for a moment, and then narrowed her bright eyes to thin suspicious slits. "Why?" Sesshomaru looked at her solidly, indicating he was listening. "Why," she began again, "do I have to travel with you?"

Sesshomaru's molten gold pools stared at her unwaveringly as he considered telling her. 'I suppose it's all right to tell her why, yet she may try to run as soon as I finish. Hmmmmm………' His face had a stoic façade as he contemplated this. "You bested me in battle, did you not?" He asked. Kagome nodded her head slowly. "You are a woman, are you not?" Again, Kagome nodded. "And I am a lord. If word of my simple defeat gets to my rival, he shall surely try to overthrow me. How can the truth get out? You. If I let you wander the country, the very moment that even a whisper falls from your mouth, the spies of the enemy can take the news to their commander. So I cannot let you out of my sight until I can trust you." Sesshomaru spoke in a harsh tone conveying the meaning of his words.

Kagome ran his words over in her mind. "And if you can't trust me?" She asked nervously.

"You shall be dealt with appropriately."

Kagome tensed as she heard the double meaning of his words. "What if I escape?" His eyes bored holes into her own as he looked intently at her.

"You will not." He watched as her face changed into that of protest, and he quickly explained. "You can manipulate water, yes, but you cannot overpower me physically. Also, if you try, I can destroy your concentration with the power of my aura, and if needed, my mental abilities."

'Well I suppose that's true, so I can't escape. I think I'll have to go along with it for a while.' Kagome concluded. "Fine. I'll come. But please… use my name and not wench or…or…freak." Whispering the last word quietly, she began walking forward, and then stopped and added, "For how long must I accompany you, my lord?"

"As long as it takes for me to trust you. And it would be in your best interest if you could earn my trust quickly." Sesshomaru turned to the forest and walked through the trees. Kagome followed behind him submissively.

A pregnant sun shone blood red as it nestled itself into the bosom of distant rolling hills. All around there was a red and orange tint as if the gods were painting a picture in the sky. The clouds had been dyed red, orange, and a bright pink. High above the sky was navy blue and silvery white stars burned up the atmosphere.

Below on the humble ground, two persons walked slowly one in front of the other. In the rear a petite woman walked behind a tall, thin man.

The woman stopped and gazed at the sunset. "Sesshomaru,"

The man slowed, and turned a bit. "What?" His voice was emotionless and he wore no expression.

"Can we stop for the night? It'll get cooler since winter draws near." She rubbed her upper arms with her hands vigorously to emphasize her point.

Sesshomaru gazed intently at the sky before he slowly nodded and leaped into a tree to watch the area as they slept. Kagome shifted nervously in her place.

"Sesshomaru, There was a lake a little ways back, I'm going to bathe. You should know I have no reason to run away, so don't worry, but I need to be alone." Kagome turned in the direction of the lake and started toward her destination. "I need water." She mumbled under her breath.

Sesshomaru watched her with his eyes until she faded through the trees, then he latched onto her aura and kept her whereabouts in his knowledge.

Kagome reached the lake and she crouched by the water, running her fingers along the surface. It was cold but it was also refreshing. Slipping into the water leaving on the silky white dress, which almost melted into the water, Kagome sighed deeply.

Closing her eyes, she faintly gained an ethereal glow. Her dress morphed downward to her legs, and became a long smooth tail, with long flowing fins that came from the sides of the large, pale appendage. The tail fin at the end was more like a fan instead of the V-shaped tail fin of whales.

Her forearms sprouted smaller harder fins, and her neck skin formed small slits that slowly opened and closed breathing in oxygen. In between her fingers tiny webs of flesh held the bottom of the long appendages together.

She sighed and dove into the water slicing through the crystalline depths of the lake. And slowly, old memories began to surface.

The deep brackish water of the lonely sea churned on the surface as a storm released its wrath upon the water. Deep below the surface however, all was still and dark.

A white glow emanated from a nearby hollow in the earth. A sparkling marine city was lit with white lights. Near a large coral gate, a group of sirens and mermen, were pushing out a single young woman.

Tears stained her cheeks and she asked why they were so cruel. They only sneered at her, and began to call her names.

'Freak!' They yelled. 'Get out and don't come back!'

The girl winced at the hurtful name, and swam swiftly away from the city and the crowd. 'Don't call me that,' she murmured silently as she began to weep.

Did ya' like it? Well I didn't think I'd get it done but please R&R!

Buh bye!
