Throughout this story you will find a VERY grown up Kagome with a lot of mental unstableness, and you're gonna be like what? And there are going to be a lot of surprises and stuff. The story is basically figuring out Kagome. So... umm, Happy New Years!

Chapter 3: Precise Calculations

"You're a slut." The voice in Kagome's head screamed as Kagome sighed.
"How can I be a slut, if I had sex with my kind-of-husband?"
"Yeah, but for the wrong reasons."
"Oh you mean the having-sex-with-him-to-crush-him part?" Kagome said laughing.
"Oh, you're a conniving one."
"Well, how long have you known me?"
"Agreed. But you're playing with something dangerous, you might get hurt."
"I don't hurt." Kagome hissed. "I'll be fine. Pain is for idiots. And so is love."
Kagome turned around and rested on the ledge of the hot spring, resting her head in her arms. "He hurt me, I hurt him..." Kagome mumbled as her eyes drifted shut.
"Do you always talk to yourself?" A warm voice asked.
Kagome didn't even move her head. Just opened her eyes and glanced up grinning at the familiar man's face.
"Do you always peek on women when they're bathing?" Kagome chuckled.
The man crouched down, placing his arms on his legs as Kagome leaned up to place a feathery kiss on his lips despite the pain.
"How I've missed you..." Kagome whispered.

As Sesshomaru went upstairs he glanced in Rin's room to find her sleeping, and something squeezed his heart. Unfaithful, could that word even be used in the situation at hand? Unfaithful yet to whom? The one who bore his mark? Or the one who wished to? It seemed to be a battle of past and present, the winner would receive the future.
A winner, Sesshomaru laughed to himself. This wasn't a game. How could a girl he'd met barely twice compete to some who served him and loved him unconditionally for seven years? But what had happened with Kagome was amazing.
Sesshomaru went into his room, changed, and slipped into bed and tried to sleep but found it impossible. Each time he closed his eyes he saw Kagome, her slightly tanned skin beneath his highly contrasting pale white. He heard her mews of pleasure as he used his mouth on her. And he felt those wickedly amazing hands of hers, somehow knowing what do ahead of time.
Sesshomaru finally got out of bed and went outside into his own private hot spring. As he sat he recollected his thoughts. What had caused him to loose control? How had Kagome known about Rin? Had Rin had him so whipped that it was completely visible to a mere human.
No, he might be whipped but Kagome was not some mere human. The look in her eyes when she'd peer into his, it was truly insightful. It was like she went searching into his soul for answers to questions she had.
Sesshomaru leaned back more. He wasn't being himself. His heart was changing and it was all because of Rin. Should he turn her away? He couldn't. She showed him so much compassion looking for nothing in return. As for Kagome, the way he acted was like when he was around Rin. The icy demeanor seemed to melt, even just a little. It must have been Kagome being his mate. He definitely sensed a change in his blood as he'd approached her.
Sesshomaru's eyes drifted shut, only to snap back open. Something happened just then, something bad.

Kagome stared at her friends smiling. "Well, I have to be gone for a few weeks. Don't come after me. I have to go on a long journey with my mother to visit some friends in other lands."
All of them just glanced at each other then at Kagome.
"What land Kagome?" Miroku asked.
"America!" Kagome chimed happily. "They have so much more things and they speak another language called English. I promised my mother I'd go with her a while ago. You believe me don't you?"
Everyone sighed. "Of course we believe you." Sango said. nudging Miroku who was beside her.
"Yes, have fun Kagome!" Miroku said forcing a grin.
Kagome waved and jumped in the well. "Idiots..."

Sesshomaru saw Kagome waiting silently. She stared at her feet and leaned on a big rock. Beside the rock was a small bag. Seeming to sense his presence Kagome looked at him and gave him a smile. She grabbed her bag and ran over to him.
Before Sesshomaru could react Kagome leaned up and kissed him. Sesshomaru managed to keep control as he peered down at her. Kagome cocked her head and smiled.
"Touching is good!" Kagome laughed.
"Get on." Sesshomaru said coldly as he pointed to Ah-Un.
"Oh!" Kagome cried out grinning as she ran over to Ah-Un and patted it on the snout. Ah-Un grunted happily. "KAWAII!"
Sesshomaru grinned at the back of his head. Here was a goddess on earth, who was amazed by something like a dragon.
Kagome hopped on. Sesshomaru looked at her. Today she was wearing a strange short skirt that was black, a pink baby-t baring her mid-drift and a strange pair of sandals with heels.. What strange clothes she wore! He jumped on behind her and reached for the reigns, encasing her in his arms. Instead of stiffening as he'd expected she relaxed more and leaned back, letting him support her.
"I'm tiered." Kagome groaned, closing her eyes. "I couldn't sleep. Oh, and I don't care how long you keep me locked up or whatever, I just need to be home on Saturdays."
"What are Saturdays?" Sesshomaru said, trying his best to sound sophisticated as he poorly attempted at saying the new word.
Kagome grinned and opened one eye to look up at him. "It's the name of a day. You see in my time we divide the days up into categories. Years, Months, and Weeks. Years consist of 365 days, months consist of around 30 days, and a week, lasts seven days. Remind me to get you a calender."
"So once every seven days you need to go back? Why?"
"Just because. I don't wanna tell you!" Kagome laughed, closing her eye again.
Sesshomaru sighed. Females were such confusing creatures. Especially human ones. He would NEVER understand them. Whatever.
"So what's your big plan your Lordship?" Kagome asked as she stared at her nails stoically.
"You will act as a maid in the castle. My personal servant. Rin won't recognize you. It's been far too long."
Kagome smiled and laughed, clapping her hands in front of her like a toddler. She cocked her head backwards so she could catch Sesshomaru's eyes in hers.
"Your love slave huh?" Kagome giggled, Sesshomaru, for the first time, blushed.
Who did this girl think she was? Talking to HIM the LORD of the western lands as though he was some lecherous commoner. But of course anger dissipated into pleasure as he began to imagine the prospect of Kagome as his, how do you say, personal servant.All was well with the world these days.
Kagome, who seemed restless, finally settled down and curled up against Sesshomaru's chest like a infant. It was cute.

When they finally reached the castle Sesshomaru watched with a slight pang of guilt as Rin came running out to greet him, only to stop when she saw the woman in his arms awakening.
Kagome yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily as she blinked at the place she now was at. And she suddenly seemed to be the subject de jour as servants that had lined up to greet Sesshomaru suspiciously glanced over at her from the corner of their eyes. Rin was the bravest one to full out stare.
Sesshomaru shifted to help her down but Kagome would have none of it. She gracefully hoped down and ran her fingers through her hair, fixing her bed head with her bag in her other hand. She cocked her hip to the right and she could've sworn every male servant snickered and grinned at one another. Kagome just gave them one smoldering stare and a grin and wink and they were practically at her beck and call. Instead of adoring and using the attraction to her advantage Kagome just rolled her eyes and tipped her head back elegantly, fully aware Sesshomaru might be watching and she must not try to raise his jealousy with Rin around. She glanced back impatiently to see if Sesshomaru was done yet.
Sesshomaru was done and she was surprised as she had turned around he pushed her gently towards Rin. Kagome glared at him.

Kagome watched as Rin gave a forced smile and a bow. Kagome did the same, and the caterwauling behind her was just loud enough to be heard by her and Sesshomaru. Kagome laughed as she stood back up in time to watch Sesshomaru snap his head at the servants to shut them up. They quickly looked away, seemingly innocent.
"It's so nice to see you again Sesshomaru-Sama!" Rin said with her voice quivering.
"As it is you Rin-Chan." Sesshomaru said nodding.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi." Kagome blurted out. Rin was so caught off guard she looked like she'd died of fright. Sesshomaru just stared at Kagome with questioning and confused eyes.
"Uh, well, yes! Nice to meet you Higurashi-San... Have I met you before? The name seems familiar." Rin said quietly.
"No, I am sorry but I do not think I have. It is truly an honor to meet you though!" Kagome said, bowing her head again, as it was down she snickered and let out a little 'baka'. Apparently only Sesshomaru heard and nudged her.
"Higurashi-San will be my personal servant for some time." Sesshomaru started, trying to take control of the conversation. "She will help out with some chores for the time being."
Rin forced another smile. "That's seems like a wonderful idea. I look forward to knowing more about you Higurashi-San!"
Kagome nodded. Rin bowed. Then Kagome bowed in response. Once more the chatter between the male servants started again but stopped again when Sesshomaru growled.
Rin leaded the way into the castle with Kagome following and Sesshomaru next, servants last. As soon as Rin was in the castle Kagome stopped in front of the male servants and pushed her hips to the right as she stared at the bunch. All demons of course. The females were making disgusted looks while the males we more then happy to grin and nod, hoping to catch her attention. Sesshomaru pushed her forward.
"Ow!" Kagome said lightly as touched her shoulder gently. She was faking and only Sesshomaru knew it. Which made him angrier, pushing her harder inside. Kagome snickered as she stepped into the castle and heard one of the men outside say, 'nice pair of legs on that one!'
With that being the final straw Sesshomaru stuck his head out the door and growled at them all to get back to work. Kagome giggled. Once Sesshomaru came back in he looked to stare at Kagome with scolding eyes. But it was hard as she was poised elegantly with one arm by her head and one at her side. She even giggled in a sophisticated way.
"Why did you do that?" Sesshomaru growled lowly.
"Whatever do you mean?" Kagome said, stopping her giggling to replace it with a serious and innocent face. She slowly walked over to him and put a splayed hand on his cheek. "I do it, because it's fun!"
"Now I'm sure his majesty would like to fetch me a pair of servants clothes and show me my work?" Kagome said as she turned to walk forward.
Sesshomaru's gaze went down to her long lightly tanned legs. Yes, fine legs indeed. Kagome stopped and looked back at him.
"Well m'Lord?" She said impatiently. That's what she seemed like. Always impatient, smart enough to know not to stand still when she could be dead the next minuet.
"Why do you always need to be impatient?" Sesshomaru asked as he walked up to lead her.
"Because, life will pass you by," Kagome grinned. "If you wait for it to catch up with you!" She turned around again and carefully but gracefully walked forward.
Sesshomaru grinned inwardly. This woman was fascinating. Every move she made was a fully calculated one, one that made she should could get what she wanted with what she had. Cunning like a kitten. Sesshomaru made a mental note to try and find a leash for her.
