When his brother brought the girl home his father fell in love immediately he however was not impressed. Of course sometimes Sesshomaru thought his father was not pleased with his sons and hoped for a daughter to replace them.
She was his brothers best friend and at first glance, one would assume they would one day be. It made him sneer how his brother seem to indulge her. She was a cute child he would admit, but she was unrefined and very clingy and Sesshomaru was never more happy not to have ears than he was now.
But she fascinated him, she was unlike most. She had this amazing ability , almost a tolerance for all living things, it almost made him wonder if she came from a line of Celestial beings. Even those who where cruel to her, and there were those who where. But without anyone knowing, he had the upper hand, and soon found himself taking care of those to strong for her special ability. Sadly for her, her ability was a gift but also a downfall it annoyed him so. Yet through her Elementary years he seem to take on a big brother role, undercover and unseen. He told himself he did it for his father's sake.
But every once in awhile she would look at him and just smile and cock her head to the side, he always took note of it but never acted, he didn't want her to get the wrong idea. Of course it soon became clear they she knew about him being in the shadows.
It became aware one day after he was a little to late, and she ended up in a fight she didn't want to have any part of. She ended up with a bloody nose and none of her so called friends where around. She was walking in the rain, alone and cold and feeling sorry for herself. She made it to the building and went to her locker, everyone else was gone.
"You can come out Sesshomaru, I know you are there"
It was the first time she had let on, that she was aware of his presents. He came out of the shadows and grabbed her face to look at her nose.
"Is it bad?" She asked, not questioning why he was following her,
"It will bruise" He said,
She sighed and turned away from him,
"You can feel me?" He asked,
"Sometimes" She didn't look at him but he was hard looking at her, how could she feel him?
"How" He had to know.
She Shrugged, "I duno, I think it started out when you where angry, I havent always been able to feel you"
"Do you feel others?"
She Shrugged again "Not as strongly as you"
He made a mental note to pull in his being. What was crazy was her age, She was 9, and had no formal training that he was aware of. "I shall excourt you home"
Kagome smirked, she liked the way he talked, he didn't talk like many other 13 year olds.
"Okay but I warn you my grandfather is going to yell at you"
"Why is that"
"Because he thinks he has powers to get rid of demons" she giggled as she walked ahead to get in his waiting limo, but he was not laughing, how did they know?
And it was at the age of 13 that Sesshomaru became intrigued by her, she was a puzzle, a maze, he didn't know who, or what she was, but she was something he had never encountered before. So began the the beginning of what is yet to come, the hourglass started, the birth of something unknown.
