Hey guys! Yeah, I got chapter two revised and up. I'm hoping to finish this one quickly so I can continue with the other two and then go on to finish Ordinary and post my other stories. Onward with the chapter.

The sun shone down on the two travelers. Kagome kept a watchful eye on Shippo as he skipped ahead. Kagome inwardly sighed. Sesshomaru's presence had brought back the painful memories she had fought to suppress. Her heart had a familiar hurt and it made her want to cry. But she didn't, she wasn't that weak, not any more.

A battle cry brought Kagome back to reality. Up the pathway Shippo was dodging attacks from a large lizard demon.

"Shippo!" Kagome yelled running towards him.

"No! Kagome! It's a trap." Shippo yelled.

The lizard demon laughed and disappeared.

'It was an illusion.' Kagome thought.

As she turned her head to look behind her she felt something hit pierce her abdomen. She could feel the weapon twisting as it wrenched out of her. She fell to her knees upon it begin pulled out and felt the blood start to seep out.

"Kagome!"

That was the last thing Kagome heard before darkness over took her.

Kagome's Dream

'Am I dead? No. If I was dead I wouldn't be able to think. But, if I'm not dead, then where am I?'

Kagome opened her eyes. She was lying in the middle of a field. It was night and the stars were looking down at her. She felt a cool rush of air pass over her.

'What in the hell? I can't move. I can think, well duh, you're thinking right now.'

Kagome looked up at the stars, they glittered and shone.

'Alright, I have to figure out where I am, why I can't move and what the hell is going on.'

Cynical laughter started to boom around her as the sky faded. She was in a dungeon, in her undergarments and tied, well shackled, to a wall.

Kagome gasped.

Naraku made his way out of the shadows. His chest was bare and his pants seemed to be getting looser as he stepped closer to her.

"Naraku! You're dead! I killed you!" Kagome yelled, trying to convince herself the situation wasn'tr real.

"Did you?" He asked her, crouching down in front of her.

"Yes, I did." Kagome told him, more telling herself.

"If I was dead could I do this?" Naraku asked her, grabbing her breast and fondling it.

"No!" Kagome yelled, squirming, trying to get away from him.

Naraku suddenly stopped and backed up. He raised his hand and backhanded her, hard.

Kagome could feel the scratches from his claws start to bleed.

He growled once before an overwhelming light flooded the room.

End Kagome's Dream

"I think she's waking up." A voice announced.

Kagome knew she wasn't outside anymore, she didn't remember the ground being as comfortable as it felt right now. She opened her eyes groggily and met the happy brown orbs of Rin.

"Shippo! Kagome woke up!" Rin yelled.

Shippo came running into the room and looked at Kagome.

"Kagome are you alright?" Shippo asked her.

"Give the girl some room children." An unfamiliar voice announced.

A young male youkai with long black hair and crisp golden eyes came into the room.

"Go play until I say you can come see her." The youkai told the children, who scampered off in an instant. "I am Adian." The youkai told her.

"Where am I Adian?" Kagome asked, trying to sit up.

"You are at Sesshomaru's castle." Adian told her, helping her into a sitting position. "My my that wasn't there before." Adian told her, looking at the cuts and bruise on her cheek.

"I need to talk to Sesshomaru." Kagome replied.

"He will be in shortly." Adian told her.

"No, I need to talk to him now." Kagome replied.

"Child, whatever it is it can wait. First we have to figure out what gave you that nasty bruise and these cuts." Adian announced.

"It was Naraku." Kagome told him.

Adian visibly paled.

"That is impossible, Naraku is dead." Adian told her.

"I need to talk to Sesshomaru." Kagome said slowly.

"Very well." Adian replied.

He walked out of the room.

'Well Kagome now you sound like a crazy person. How can he be alive though? I killed him. I know I did.' Kagome thought.

Adian came back in a few seconds with Sesshomaru.

"Adian, you are dismissed." Sesshomaru announced sternly.

Adian nodded and looked at Kagome one last time.

"What is this talk of Naraku?" Sesshomaru demanded, malice lacing his voice.

"He's alive." Kagome told him.

"He is not." Sesshomaru told her, growling.

"He is." Kagome replied, her anger rising.

"You lie." Sesshomaru growled.

"Why the hell would I lie about that? I almost died killing him, why would I want him to be alive?" Kagome yelled at him.

Sesshomaru glared at Kagome but it did nothing.

"Fine, don't believe me, I didn't expect you to." Kagome announced.

She swung her feet over the side of the bed and stood up, the pain in her abdomen almost causing her to fall back down, but she defiantly stood.

"Where do you think you're going?" Sesshomaru demanded, appearing in front of her.

"I'm going to get answers." Kagome told him, trying to get past him.

"While you are in my domain you will do what I say and I command you to get back into that bed." Sesshomaru told her, pointing at the bed.

"Bite me! I'm not one of your little minions that you can boss around and if I want to leave I will." Kagome told him angrily.

Sesshomaru grabbed her arm and instantly regretted it.

Kagome whole body became engulfed in a very dark pink light. The miko purification burned Sesshomaru hand and sent pain throughout his body, that he didn't show in any way.

Kagome could feel the power radiating through her body. She could feel her wounded abdomen heal, not completely though.

Sesshomaru let go of Kagome and her body returned to a normal state.

Kagome glared at Sesshomaru and started out. Sesshomaru grabbed her by the waist, putting pressure on her wound, and slammed her against his chest.

"You should be glad you're receiving medical attention at all wench. I suggest you learn to appreciate it or suffer the consequences. Perhaps an easy route would be to let me look into this matter." Sesshomaru growled.

Kagome's body was in pain. She had never been handled so forcefully, although somewhere in the back of her mind she liked the forcefulness. As much as she hated to admit defeat Sesshomaru's plan did make sense.

Sesshomaru was inwardly smirking. She would have to submit to him.

"Fine." Kagome whispered.

"What?" Sesshomaru asked her in a cocky tone.

"You heard me." Kagome snapped.

"Good choice my dear." Sesshomaru whispered in her ear.

He let her go and walked out of the room. Kagome sunk to the floor and closed her eyes. She felt stupid submitting to him. And the fact that he had enjoyed making her submit angered her.

Adian came back into the room and helped Kagome up.

"You should be resting." Adian told her with a kind smile.

Kagome nodded and lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes, letting a single tear slip down her cheek.

Why was everything so complicated? How she wished she could go back in time and redo everything. She wouldn't have chased her cat. She wouldn't have gone to the feudal era. She wouldn't have met everyone. She wouldn't have done what she did and she wouldn't be in the pain she was now.

She rolled over on her stomach, although her wounds protested, as she looked around the room. She was glad to see that her bag was lying beside her bed. She managed to open it and take out her mp3 player.

As she scanned through the tracks she listened to another song that related to her feelings.

I hear a voice say, "Don't be so blind"
It's telling me all these things
That you would probably hide
Am I your one and only desire
Am I the reason you breathe
Or am I the reason you cry
Always, Always, Always, Always, Always, Always
I just can't live without you

I love you
I hate you
I can't live around you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
And now I'm done with you

Kagome didn't notice the pair of eyes watching her as she laid and listened to music.

'Don't screw this up Sesshomaru' the person thought.

I feel like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things
I guess I'll see you around
Inside, it bottles up until now
As I walk out your door
All I can hear is the sound of
Always, Always, Always, Always, Always, Always
I just can't live without you

I love you
I hate you
I can't live around you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
And now I'm done with you

I love you
I hate you
I can't live without you

I left my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart
Always, Always, Always, Always

'Stupid Sesshomaru, thinking he's so great. As soon as I'm healed I am so out of here. I know Shippo and Rin like to be together but I can't stand him. The way he carries himself in that 'I'm so hot' manner.' Kagome thought bitterly.

I see the blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel more like a man
Was it all just a part of your plan
The pistol's shakin' in my hands
And all I hear is the sound

I love you
I hate you
I can't live around you
I breathe you
I taste you
I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I guess that I'm out the door
And now I'm done with you

I love you
I hate you
I can't live without you

I love you
I hate you
I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore
This life of solitude
I pick myself off the floor
And now I'm done with you
Always, Always, Always

Kagome starred off into space. She knew she was being a little harsh. He was helping her and he was taking what she said somewhat seriously, although it sounded preposterous.

'No. I'm right. I should be able to leave when I want. He can't just make me do whatever he wants.' Kagome thought.

She inwardly groaned. She would never live this down. Now that he knew he could make her submit to his wishes he would use it against her.

She turned her head to see Shippo sneaking back into the room.

"Are you okay? I heard yelling earlier." Shippo told her.

"I'm fine Shippo." Kagome replied, rolling back over onto her back.

"I like it here Kagome." Shippo told her, pouting somewhat.

"I know." Kagome replied.

"Can we stay?" Shippo asked her.

"No Shippo, I don't think we can." Kagome told him, letting him come and snuggle up to her.

"Why not?" Shippo asked her.

"Because, it's Sesshomaru's home. Soon he'll need to take a mate and then he'll share the house with her." Kagome explained.

'I feel sorry for whoever that is. What demoness would want to mate that idiot? The only thing that might attract someone is the fact that he is a lord and is hot. Whoa. Wait. Back up. Did I just think Sesshomaru was hot? No, that's crazy. I didn't think that.' Kagome thought.

"To bad you wouldn't mate with him." Shippo replied, yawning and falling asleep.

"Keep dreaming Shippo." Kagome chuckled lightly.

She had to stop from laughing at the thought of being Sesshomaru mate. She could just see little hanyou's running around aggravating the hell out of Sesshomaru. Kagome started to giggle at the thought of little Shippo's running around setting everything on fire. She started laughing at the thought of little Sesshomaru's running around melting everything with their poison.

At that moment Adian walked back in. He eyed the laughing Kagome.

"Are you alright?" Adian asked her, fearing her mental health was at risk.

Kagome nodded, biting her tongue in an attempt to stop laughing.

"What is so humorous?" Adian asked her.

"Just something Shippo said." Kagome told him, sighing slightly.

Adian nodded his understanding.

"Just a question, when will I be able to get up and move?" Kagome asked him.

"That depends. There are different ways to go about it. You lost blood; I'm surprised you can function. If I were to give you a pint of blood to drink then your miko powers would heal you very quickly." Adian told her.

Kagome nodded.

"Whose blood would I have to drink?" Kagome asked him.

"Sesshomaru's." Adian replied.

That's it, much better. I'm off to revise chapter three. Please review. Tata. P.S the song featured was Always by Saliva, you should listen to it.
