Kagome:

The InuYoukai Huntress

Shiori's Attitude, And Kagome's Temper!

Kagome was curled up with a book on the futon in what she had assumed was the library when Sesshoumaru walked in, not expecting to find the girl in his study.

"Do you realize that you are in my study, Kagome?"

Kagome jumped when she first heard his voice. Then calmed the moment she knew it was him.

"No, my Lord. I apologize for my rudeness, I shall leave at once."

When she said that, he felt saddened. "You do not have to leave Kagome. And formalities such as Lord and Lady are not required when we are alone."

"Alright, may I remain here and read, Sesshou?"

Sesshoumaru raised his eyebrow in question at the nickname Sesshou, which Kagome noticed, but wished to have her question answered first. Finally Sesshoumaru responded. "Yes Kagome, you may stay."

"Thank You Sesshou. Oh, right. I thought it might be a good idea, it abbreviates your name, and it will torment the other Ladies." She said with a good laugh.

Meanwhile, not very far away at all from Sesshoumaru's study, Shiori was sulking.

'Who the hell is that youkai? She looks so familiar, but I can't seem to place where i've seen her before.'

"I bet I know what your thinkin. Your thinkin that, that girl looks familiar, huh? Well I bet I can tell you why that is."

"What do you want Lady Megami?"

"I want what any non-heir to a prominant family would want. I tell you what you want to know, and I get Lord Sesshoumaru!"

"And what makes you think that the info you have is worth me giving him up to you for?"

"Simple, she could kill us anytime she wants to really. And yet she hasn't, why? She's more powerful than most youkai. Did you not feel the power she radiated when you challenged her in the front hall?"

"Oh really, I sense nothing special bout that girl."

"That's because your an heir. You primp yourself up for things, where as I am a warrior as well. You prolly can't even hunt for yourself, can you?"

"Fine, tell me what you know, and I will tell you if it is worth my giving Sesshoumaru up to you."

"Fine, she is a Miko-InuYoukai."

"And what is that suppose to mean?"

"It means that she's an elemental as well."

"Elementals died out a long time ago. I think you are being over dramatic about ths girl."

"The same could be said for you! Listen, go find her, And challenge her to court for the right to Sesshoumaru, but before you do that, get her as angry as you can without making her lose control. And do me a favor, watch her hair and tail very closely. I bet you Seshoumaru's hand if you win it. Her hair and tail will start glowing a very pale white, tinted blue, and it will flair around her body."

"Fine, It's a deal. I will do as you ask. if what you say will happen to her happens then I will win Sesshoumaru for you."

'Yes, Sesshoumaru will be mine yet!' Megami thought.

With Shiori, 'Megami must be blind, and impudent if she thinks that i will hand sesshy over if I win. I will get sesshy, one way or another!'

With Sesshou, And Kagome:

Sesshoumaru was working on some paperwork that he had fallen behind on, every now and then glancing up to look at the InuYoukai in front of him. though he was strong, he was not able to tell that she was an Elemental Miko-InuYoukai. All he could see everytime he looked at the girl lately was breathtaking beauty. though he promised himself he would not take her as his mate.

Sesshoumaru heard her shift her body on her futon, when he raised his head to look at her, this time she had her book on her lap, and she was looking at sesshoumaru.

"Sesshou, are you alright?"

"I'm fi. . ." but efore he could finish his sentence Shiori came bounding in the door. "What do you want Lady Shiori?"

"I want that girl to die. I want her to fade from your thoughts, and allow me to invade them. I know what your scheme is, you want Sesshoumaru for yourself, but I'm not gonna let that happen. You think your so smart, but you're just another whore lookin to get your hands on a lord. . .what the hell is wrong with you wench."

"Shiori, how. . .Kagome, Lady Kagome!" Sesshoumaru said as he saw kagome radiating with power that even surpassed his own.

"Don't mind me Sesshou, she just needs to learn a lesson I think. Now, listen here you loud mouthed, little girl. If my Sesshou wanted you, he would have taken you by now. But you're so blinded by you're own god damned greed to see past your own fuckin nose. Now If you truly want a lesson in humility, I bet I can give you two. First off, the only way I wll let you court Sesshou Now is if you swear to being my lapdog until you leave. . . Well, what will it be, do you wanna Bail out on this, or be my little slave?" Kagome was so angry that her hair had turned from a pitch black to a pale greyish white, as well as her tail. Though her blood red highlights did not change in the least.

As Sesshoumaru stared at her, he thought her breathtaking. But one thing he did not understand was where this power came from, and how come he had never noticed it before. He cursed at himself, so many questions.

"I will Fight for Lord Sesshoumaru's Title! Therefor I will be your handmaid only, but not a complete slave."

"Fine That will do. And the other condition is the fact that you will be up against myself. Good luck, For while you are only after his bed and title, I am after his heart. Now get out of my sight now before I change my mind, and kick you out all together!!!"

"Yes Milady."

"Now leave before I really become irate!"

"Yes milady." Shiori gritted through her teeth.
