She growled, and elbowed him in the chest, she was for sure that'd seal a fate of getting severely hurt but it was better than getting raped. She struggled more, pushing away from him, kicking her legs, but his grip just tightened, and his body was stiff.
"Sesshoumaru!" she yelled and clawed at his arms, he placed his hand over his mouth, holding it firmly in place. She looked up at him and saw him staring intently at his window. She stopped struggling and looked where he was looking, she didn't see anything.
Before she knew it Sesshoumaru had her in his arms bridal style carrying her into her own room. He dropped her on her bed, looking down on her with a blank stare. He knew she was scared, he knew he had scared her to death with his actions, but he also knew that she'd understand.
"What... was happening in there?" she said crawling under the covers of her bed. She figured he's seen it all now but she still felt uncomfortable being nude in front of him. She looked up at him wondering if he'd answer her.
"Nothing you need to worry about." he said stroking his fingers through her hair, she nuzzled her head into his hand.
"I was scared." she said her eyes tearing up a little bit before clinging to his stomach. She squeezed him tightly as he stroked her hair.
"I know." He pushed her away slightly looking into her eyes, wiping away a tear before bending down to kiss her lips softly. "You'll sleep here tonight" he said before walking out of the room.

Kagura floated through the night sky, what she saw was creepily appeasing. She knew she must tell Naraku about Kagome being with Sesshoumaru. Though, she couldn't help but wonder what a strong prince would want to do with a useless human like Kagome. She pondered this thought before shrugging it off and continuing on her way to tell Naraku her news.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru!" an out of breath Jakken screamed at the great yokai's lord descending figure. Sesshoumaru stopped and turned to look at his toad slave with an emotionless glare, the toad fell the to floor in front of his face. "Lord Sesshoumaru, why are you in such a hurry! For all you know this could be a snape chase and you didn't really see anything!" he panted and sighed.
"Gaah!" he shouted out as Sesshoumaru's foot smashed the little toads head into the ground. He pulled his face up looking for Sesshoumaru but noticed he was no where to be found. He sighed and took it upon himself to find some guards to protect Kagome. He knew it'd be his death if anything happened to her whilst he was away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Move, Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru said cooly at the hanyou that stood in front of him. He kept his usual emotionless demeanor as Inuyasha growled.
"No you asshole! I want my Kagome back!" he charged at Sesshoumaru's still figure, slashing his claws at would have been Sesshoumaru's chest if he didn't move. He turned around and got a swift elbow in the cheek.
"You had your chance, Inuyasha. But you took her for granted, and now you're damned to either a lonely life, or a life with a clay-corpse. Your choice, your being is not my problem." he watched Inuyasha fall to the ground quivering like a lost puppy. He snorted before turning on his heel and walking away.
"Waiiiiit!!!" a small voice screamed out to Sesshoumaru. He turned and saw the small kitsune pup Kagome once cared for standing defensively behind a tree shaking with tons of fright. "Sess..Se..Eh... Sesshoumaru!" he finally sputtered out, "D..d..do you re-really have Kagome?" he asked showing himself more from behind the tree.
"Yes." Sesshoumaru simply replied, ignoring Inuyasha's exit from the area.
"C..can I come with you?!" Shippou asked looking at Sesshoumaru with big scared eyes. "Inuyasha is really mean to me, often beating me up and yelling at me. And I really miss Kagome, she's like a mother to me." he explained backing away from the lord as he approached him.
"Fine, I'll take you to her, but first I have business to deal with. I'll come back for you later." he said before turning on his heel and continuing his walk.
"Thank you so much Sesshoumaru!" Shippou shouted excitedly, he bounced off into the bushes in hopes of finding Inuyasha, mean or not, he relied on Inuyasha for protection until he was with Kagome again.

She sighed and looked over her shoulder, she saw the guards trying to inconspicuously watch her from a distance. She wondered what happened in the room that made Sesshoumaru wander off and leave guards to watch her. She sat under a tree and cracked a book taking in the smells and loveliness of nature.
The story she was consumed in reminded her much of Shippou, a child going through a hardship with the loss of his family, and being forced to work for the king. She sighed, she missed him, she missed them all. She knew the likelihood of Sesshoumaru allowing her to see all of them was slim with Inuyasha being around.
She stretched out with the book resting on her stomach, a cool breeze crawled over the area and she shivered lightly, but didn't bother to move from her position, she was too consumed.
"For a re-birthed Miko, you sure don't do a very good job of being aware." Sesshoumaru said cooly kneeling next to her.
"Oh shut up." she said not bothering to look from her book. She growled at him when he swiped the book from her hands and placed it beside him. She looked up at him about to say something, but instantly lost it when she saw him smiling.
"Watch who you're talking to, you might face my wrath." he said jokingly, the look on her face was stunned, he immediately quirked a brow wondering what he had did to make her look at him so shocked.
"You should smile more, it's better on you." She said snuggling against him. He wrapped his arms around her and looked up at the sky. He questioned why he always questioned his fathers actions for falling in love with a human.

"Naraku... I have some news for you." Kagura said, her crimson eyes watching Naraku through the screen. She despised him for having a total control over her, but she had no choice.
"Go on." Naraku said, not bothering to look at his spawn. He just faced out the window watching the sunset.
"Kagome, she's with Sesshoumaru now." she said, Naraku turned his head to look at her. She continued, "I don't know if it's a mutual agreement to be there or not, but I saw her at Sesshoumaru's castle. They were on a bed together, and she was nude, but she looked like she was fighting him. So I assume it's a plot to get Inuyasha's sword." Kagura stepped to the side as Naraku walked by her dressed in his baboon attire.
"I see, then perhaps, we could make a trade." Naraku chuckled as Kagura rolled her eyes.

She laid next to him sleeping soundly. He was frustrated, he couldn't find that Kagura whore that was watching them from his window. He wanted to dispose of her to rid her of considering any dirty tricks with Naraku. He tucked away a lock of hair that fell in front of Kagome's face while she slept.
"I love you, my Kagome" he whispered softly to her sleeping form, before wrapping an arm protectively around her and falling asleep himself.
