Prologue
Kagome trembled as the silver light from the moon silhouetted a sturdy form before her.
"And what can I expect to get in return from such a frivolous request?" The silvery voice asked with annoyance dripping like honey.
"Anything. Anything you want… Just please bring him back. Please!" Kagome's voice whined, laced with total and utter fear. She should have known better then to ask Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru grinned, which was something new for him. The grin held so much evil Kagome nearly teetered off the edge of sanity.
"Anything?" Sesshomaru asked lightly.
"Anything." Kagome repeated, this time holding her head high and trying to seem quite brave.
Sesshomaru looked the pleading human up and down. Such a sad sight. Her body had barely any shape and her hair looked straggly. She looked like a cat had dragged her in. Sesshomaru always wondered why his brother carried around such an ugly human. But, this human seemed to be all Inu-Yasha cared for… All that he would live for…
"How about… you give your whole life to me?" Sesshomaru said smirking.
Kagome was caught off guard. She didn't know how to respond. Was he going to kill her?
"I'm sorry Sesshomaru-Sama but I do not understand…" Kagome said as her eyes wavered.
"I will only revive my brother if you give your life to me. You will become my mate." Sesshomaru said in a horrible laugh.
Kagome begun to cry and she fell to her knees, her eyes had gone blank. But she couldn't let Inu-Yasha die. Never. Not after she loved him so much. She looked up at Sesshomaru with the same blank eyes.
"If that is what you wish." Kagome said stoically.
"Don't get your facts mixed up wench." Sesshomaru snarled. "I will mark you but I am never to see you again. Since you will bear my mark you will belong to me. You won't be able to touch any other man the rest of your life. Meaning Inu-Yasha as well."
Sesshomaru grinned triumphantly as the girl bowed her head once more. He'd never need a mate, but this would destroy not only Kagome, but Inu-Yasha.
"An you will never be able to tell anyone our little secret." Sesshomaru sneered.
"As you wish." Kagome said blankly as she stood up.
Sesshomaru moved the cloth from the area where her neck and shoulder met. He quickly glanced at Kagome to see if she had changed her mind but she continued to hold her head high.
Fool
Sesshomaru finally sunk his teeth deep into Kagome, piercing her skin and causing her to cry out in shock. Sesshomaru's eyes snapped open. Something inside him broke with her cry of finality, which only made him promise that they should never cross paths again.
7 Years LaterKagome sighed as she watched Shippou joke around with Kirara. Seven years had passed and nothing had changed. When they finally defeated Naraku two years ago Kagome had shot her arrow at him, breaking the jewel into millions of pieces once more. Of course Inu-Yasha completely snapped at her but at least Naraku was done.
Kagome laughed mockingly to herself. Sure Naraku was gone, now they had to deal with an even stupider villain who calls himself Doukan. He was an offspring of Naraku and had managed to absorb Naraku later on thus turning into the ultimate opponent. It didn't help that he had a crush on Kagome herself and was constantly trying to take her away.
She smiled. Yah, she was finding that a lot of people were getting crushes on her. She was no longer the gangly girl she was at the beginning of her journey at 15. Oh, no she wasn't. Now she had filled out in all the right places, lost her baby fat and had finally earned some amazing fighting skills thanks to Sango. She had also developed her miko powers.
Yes, Kagome truly believed she was quite accomplished 21-year-old who had somehow managed to graduate high school.
Suddenly Inu-Yasha jumped down from the tree seeming agitated..
"Hey Kagome, hurry up, we gotta get going… come on." Inu-Yasha said running and grabbing Kagome's hand.
Kagome winced in pain, then put a hand to the place where the pain was coming from. Inu-Yasha frowned.
"You really should get that checked out. For 7 years you've always hurt there." Inu-Yasha growled. "You really should take better care of yourself.
Kagome scoffed, this from a man who thought going into a fight was a past time. Then, she grimaced.
Yes, it'd been seven years, and each passing year made her sick. The scar on near her neck had slowly over time changed from light red to a jet black as of late, this scared her. Luckily they'd never run into the cause of her pain. It seemed like an easy sacrifice at the time.
Seven years ago, on a pitch-black night, Kagome and Inu-Yasha had gone for a walk. Inu-Yasha joking and then, boom, he dropped a bomb. She still remembered the sweet words that dropped out of his mouth. "I love you."
Kagome still remembered her excitement, her happiness, and her fear as suddenly Doukan appeared out of nowhere and complete shredded Inu-Yasha before he had a time to react. That was the first time they'd met Doukan.
Then much to her surprise, and luck. Sesshomaru appeared. His words were so calm as he looked upon the scene. Kagome, elbow deep in his brother's blood, sobbing as she held the lifeless corps.
"I thought the blood was familiar." Sesshomaru said stoically, not really caring.
Kagome got up, still shaking but her tears stopped.
"Please, please bring him back to life! Please I beg of you!"
"And what can I expect to get in return from such a frivolous request?" The silvery voice asked with annoyance dripping like honey.
"Anything. Anything you want… Just please bring him back. Please!" Kagome's voice whined, laced with total and utter fear. She should have known better then to ask Sesshomaru.
She'd been so stupid to think he'd actually do something to be nice. She didn't think it would hurt so much to never be able to touch Inu-Yasha or Miroku. Not to be able to be on Inu-Yasha's back ever again without going through hell. And now that Shippou was coming of age, now turning 13 or 14 his touch had begun to sting ever so slightly.
Sometimes she'd cry. She couldn't tell anyone why. When Inu-Yasha was revived Kagome assured him that he'd just been knocked out. He believed her and it pained her so much that he trusted her so much but he could never be with her. Inu-Yasha was like the stars, there but completely unattainable. So close that hurt.
"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha growled. "Quite spacing out."
Kagome just grinned. "Gomen. I was just thinking about something."

Sesshomaru growled as he pounded his fist on his desk. Where were these stupid memories coming from?
Just lately the night 7 years ago started to come back in livid color. Right down to the part where he marked that stupid wench. He didn't even know her name. He growled again. For a supposed strong and smart Lord he did a pretty stupid thing.
Sure now he had what his brother loved and lived for but he didn't want it. Such an ugly human. Did she think she was the least bit desirable? Luckily he hadn't met up with her again since that night. Though, on occasion he'd met Inu-Yasha when she wasn't around.
He'd managed to go around 7 years without a single thought of the ugly human but now his blood itched for her. Suddenly, completely out of the blue his blood demanded he had his mate. This annoyed Sesshomaru a great deal.
It took him a while to finally decide that he needed to go and fix the problem with the wench. Maybe seeing her would put an end to the stupid demands in his blood.
Out of nowhere the door opened and there standing in the doorway was the fourteen-year-old Rin who had done a great deal of growing up over the years.
"Sesshomaru-Sama may I help you at all?" Rin said delicately. She wasn't the prettiest human but Sesshomaru had grown quite fond of the young human girl. And now that she was coming of age he was seriously considering taking Rin as a sort-of mate.
"I live because of you." Rin whispered as she walked over to Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru turned his head as Rin put a hand on the desk and leaned over, laying a delicate kiss on his lips.

Kagome growled as Inu-Yasha forced everyone to stop and rest because he was turning human that night. She wanted to continue on. She had a bad feeling, and it really hit her in the gut.
In fact ever since the scar turned black she had turned uneasy. Suddenly the traveling had turned into a flee from an unknown predator. Everyone else fell asleep quickly, Kagome had tried but her heart was beating too fast for anything.
Just calm down Kagome… nothing is going to happen. Either you'll save yourself or Inu-Yasha will save you. Go take a bath and calm your senses.
Kagome decided to head her idea and grabbed some stuff as she headed for a hot spring she knew was nearby. She hoped to Kami that it would save her from killing herself over worry. It was just nerves.
Kagome begun to get tiered as she walked towards the hot spring. It was a good kilometer away much to Kagome's disgust.
Once she reached the water she grinned, it was worth the wait she decided as she begun to slip out of her clothes. Kagome nearly died of a heart attack when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. A quite memorable voice at that.
"Human! Tell me if you know the whereabouts of a certain woman."
Kagome froze.

Sesshomaru ran through the forests and villages grumbling. Finding this girl would be quite hard to find. He didn't even know her name. He just had to ask if anyone had seen his stupid brother but it annoyed him because he constantly had to talk to humans.
He finally found himself running mindlessly around a forest, without anyone else to ask directions because it was night. Then, almost out of nowhere he caught the scent of a woman, a human woman.
Following the scent Sesshomaru found a strange woman taking off some strange clothes, his guess was so she could go in the hot spring.
From afar the human woman had a lot going for her. Her long hair was shiny and well kept, which was a large contrast to most of the woman around. She was tanned. With nice toned legs, medium hips, and a small waist, this woman probably was a princess.
The woman probably could have been, if it weren't for her strange clothes. Instead of a normal kimono the woman had already taken off a pair of pants that were made of a strange material and was in the process of taking off a strange tight pink top with thin straps.
With most of her clothes on Sesshomaru was just faced with a small undergarments. One was black, tight, and covered her butt. The other was a mystery to him as all he could see from the back was straps and some weird attaching which was also black.
Finally Sesshomaru had the nerve to say something before the woman became completely naked.
"Human! Tell me if you know the whereabouts of a certain woman."
The woman froze.
