It's been three days, Kagome thought. Three long days. Days that were spent awkwardly avoiding conversation, lies about why she was avoiding conversation, ignoring phone calls, and silent showers not filled with her off tune singing. Three days ago when she woke up at Sesshoumaru's house, he left a note for her saying that for the next three days he would be in Hong Kong.

"Inconsiderate asshole," she thought to herself.

Her phone buzzed for the third time; she looked at it and saw it was a phone call from said asshole. She rolled her eyes and went to do her dishes. She sighed in annoyance when she heard the doorbell. She went to the nearest wall and banged her head against it. She then went to get a piece of paper and pen and wrote a note on it.

"Sorry, can't speak. Lost my voice."

She went to open her door and saw a very emotionless Sesshoumaru. He took it upon himself to invite himself in and rudely looked around in disgust.

"Ignoring my phone calls," he stated. He waited for a reply but didn't get one. He turned around to say something but was met with a piece of paper held up to Kagome's face.

"Lost your voice. Hm." He then had a look of realization wash over his face and smirked. He grabbed her wrist and twirled with the subjugation beads. "Speak."

Kagome narrowed her eyes. "The moment I can. I think I will purify you straight to the deepest parts of hell and then laugh on your grave."

"Cute," he said sardonically.

"What do you want with me," she bit out.

"Submission; revenge; your humiliation. Take your pick."

Kagome narrowed her eyes and pushed passed him. He turned around and watched her walk away. "Show me your room," he said.

She stopped and looked down at her feet.

"I could make you," he said walking behind her and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

She took one of his arms and threw it off her. "Whatever," she grumbled and then reluctantly walked to her bedroom. When she opened the bedroom door she took a few steps in and turned to Sesshoumaru. "Well this is it."

"How cheap," he said, walking towards her and running his fingers through her hair.

"What are you going to do," she asked.

"Break you in. Make it so that in the long run you are nothing more than an expendable toy on a tight leash," he said casually. "And then throw you away like trash, ruining you for all others." He pulled Kagome's shirt over her head and smirked when she didn't fight it.

"If I didn't have this stupid bracelet on, I would purify you and burn you to a crisp," she spat. "But I guess you're nothing more than a coward."

"A coward, huh," he said thoughtfully as he let her pajama shorts fall to her ankles. "We'll see."

Sesshoumaru raised her arm and took off her bracelet and threw it on the bed behind her. He then crossed his arms and waited.

Kagome smiled disdainfully and walked up to Sesshoumaru. She focused most of her miko energy in one hand and swung it to hit him on his face. Sesshoumaru caught her hand before she hit him. She then threw her reiki around him to purify him straight to hell but he spread out his youkai to overtake hers and yawned.

"Is that really the best you got," he said in disbelief. "And they say you are strongest miko known. How sad." Sesshoumaru slipped his hand down her panties and gently rubbed her clit. He smirked in satisfaction when she let out a soft moan. He almost laughed when he felt her try to create a barrier around her and push him away.

He slowly slipped a finger inside her womanly folds and closely watched her expression. "Does my not so virginal miko like that," he asked in response to her moan.

Kagome didn't answer his question. Instead she tried to physically push him off. "Get off of me," she said. However, he was stronger than her and he didn't budge.

He withdrew his fingers and took a step back. Kagome gave him a puzzled look.

"You can either willingly submit to me," he said coolly. "Or I can simply ruin the life of your family and friends."

"You act like I did some horrible thing to you," Kagome said.

Sesshoumaru wore a thoughtful expression. "I could publically rape you, but unfortunately that punishment turned unpopular several centuries ago."

Kagome closed her eyes and let out a breath. "I never thought I could hate anyone the way I hate you."

"I don't have the desire to talk about your personal problems," he said coldly. "Now, will you assist in undressing me?"

Kagome rolled her eyes and reluctantly went to take his jacket off. She placed it at the end of her bed and started to unbutton his shirt. When she pulled his shirt from his pants and went to take it off, a look of puzzlement overcame her when it stopped at his wrists.

"Cuff links, Kagome," Sesshoumaru said rolling his eyes.

She knit her brows and looked up at him. "I don't know what that is," she admitted, confused.

Sesshoumaru put his shirt all the way on and started to undo his cufflinks. "Are you stupid," he asked.

"No," Kagome said insulted. "I'm 19. I am not stupid just young."

Sesshoumaru took off his shirt and started on his belt. Kagome reached up and lightly touched one of his markings on his face. "I suppose this is an opportunity to see all your little stripy things. Like a silver lining."

"Hn." Clad in his boxers Sesshoumaru walked over and picked up the bracelet on her bed. He lay down on her bed. "Come here, Kagome," he said smoothly.

She walked over and awkwardly sat next to him. He laid her on her back and put the bracelet back around her wrist. He pulled her panties off and removed her bra. He covered her mouth with his and then proceeded to take her in every way imaginable.


Kagome laid in her bed, curled up in a ball while clutching her comforter around her. She listened to Sesshoumaru get dressed.

"It was enjoyable. However, next time try not to ruin it with your annoying crying and whining," he said coldly.

"I want you to know this Sesshoumaru," Kagome said softly – but with an underlying strength and fire in her voice. "You may be stronger than me, you can physically take all that I have, but one day you will rue all that you've done. I swear that one day I will find a way to hurt you beyond belief and on that day you will lay feeling helpless and our situations will be very much reversed."

Sesshoumaru walked over to Kagome and gripped her chin and lifted her to face him. "Your tight lithe body and the way you screamed and moaned, pleasured me and my beast immensely. Don't ruin it with annoying threats and promises you can never accomplish."

Kagome scowled.

Sesshoumaru picked up his belt and put it on. "Besides I know you enjoyed yourself also. Just admit that you loved being fucked by me."

Kagome's bracelet glowed. "I loved being fucked by you."

"Of course you did," he said smugly. "Now be a good girl and thank me."

Her bracelet glowed again. "Thank you."

"Tonight I think I want you to undress yourself and bring yourself to orgasm while thinking of me. Then I want you to remain undressed put on a long jacket and high heels and be at my place by 9pm and not a minute later. You can do that, right Kagome," he said.

Kagome growled while her bracelet glowed again. "I hope you choke on a piece of rotten chicken and die."

"Oh," he questioned with a raised brow. "I don't think you realize how easy it is for me to ruin your life or the life of your family. How easy you forget that. Also, I can also put you in very delicate positions."

"If you were a real man and you wouldn't have to use sneaky manipulation," she bit out.

"It's a good thing I'm a youkai then," he remarked. "Before I leave – just for your information – tell me all the things you like about this 'sneaky manipulative youkai'".

Kagome's bracelet glowed once more and she narrowed her eyes in detest.

"I like your eyes and your height. I like how you can seem so ethereal and unreal. I like how you stand proud and tall," Kagome then smirked. "I liked how Inuyasha hacked your arm off several centuries ago. I like how after it grew back you didn't kill him using that arm. I like how you didn't get the sword you wanted. I like taking comfort in knowing that the higher you rise the further you have to fall."

Sesshoumaru smirked and was inwardly amused that she found a loophole.

"I like your smirk. I like imagining you having that smirk wiped off your face by a panther demon."

"That's enough," Sesshoumaru said. "I'll see you at 9." He left her bedroom and apartment.

Kagome got up and went to take a shower. While she washed her hair she sang 'Call Me Maybe' with a few words changes.

"Hey I just met you. And this is crazy. But here's a bullet, please die maybe."

She danced and sang all through her shower and even danced and sang into her hairbrush when she got out.

Kagome heard her telephone ring and she ran to her living room to pick it up.

"Hello," she answered out of breath.

"Hey Kaggy; did you just run to the phone?.. idiot," a female voice said.

"Whatever Sango. What's up?"

"Wanna come over tonight? I'm bored and lonely," Sango whined.

"Ugh I wish. I have something I have to do. Maybe tomorrow?"

"Boooo whore! Just kidding but yeah tomorrow would be awesome."

"Okay awesome. Well I'll see you tomorrow. I'm wet and naked so I must be off," she said.

"Oooooh really now? Haha see you tomorrow; bye."

Kagome went to her bedroom and decided to take a nap for a couple of hours before her lovely little date with Sesshoumaru tonight.

"Rawr," a man playfully said while holding a woman from behind.

She laughed. "What are you doing Bankotsu?"

"Don't you know Kagome? It means I love you in dinosaur."

"Oh my gosh, you're an idiot," she laughed. "So, uh, you sure do work with some colorful people."

Bankotsu scratched his head. "Yeah, I hate these work functions. But I guess I at least get to see you look absolutely stunning."

Kagome hit him playfully. She was wearing a knee length dark green dress with her hair up in a flirty up-do.

Meanwhile, while the couple were playfully kidding around, a very curious dog demon was watching Kagome intently.

"Who is that woman with Bankotsu," he asked a colleague.

He turned to look. "Oh her? That's his girlfriend, Kagome. Cute, huh," he answered.

"Go get rid of him. Make him do some useless paperwork or something," he commanded.

"Uhm sure, okay," the man said and then ran over to Bankotsu.

When the two men left Kagome alone, he walked over to introduce himself to her.

"I'm Sesshoumaru," he said regally.

Kagome smiled. "I'm Kagome, it's nice to meet you," she said and extended a hand out to him.

Sesshoumaru ignored the gesture and instead gently ran his fingers down the length of her arm and rested in on the small of her back.

"Do you mind removing your hand from my body," Kagome said angrily.

"I'm not one to waste time or say foolish inane things. Although my status far exceeds yours and you have nothing to offer, I will still do you the honor of inviting you upstairs to my hotel room for a rut or two," he casually said.

Kagome narrowed her eyes angrily. "Are you fucking serious?" She roughly gripped his wrist from her back and threw it back at him. "You disgusting, egotistic jackass!" she yelled and everyone turned to stare. "If you really think that I would sully my body for an ass like you then you're the dumbest sack of rocks I've met!" She started to storm off but then stopped and grabbed a glass from one of the servers. She turned back to Sesshoumaru and threw the wine in his face. "You look thirsty asshole," she screamed and then stomped off.


"Baaaaaaankotsu, what's up," Kagome said on the phone.

"Kagome, this isn't easy," he started off uneasy. "We have to break up."

"What? Why," she said heartbroken.

"I just don't love you anymore; in fact, I probably never did. I'm leaving for America. Have a nice life Kagome," he said and then hung up.

Kagome listened to the dial tone in shock. When it fully sank in she sunk to the floor and laid there crying.


.

Kagome stood outside of Sesshoumaru's house and waited for him to answer the door. She had already done what he said and was now standing outside in a black trench coat, naked underneath while wearing a pair of black heels.

Sesshoumaru answered the door and saw an angry Kagome. "9 o'clock exactly. How punctual of you."

Kagome wanted to retort but when she opened her mouth she couldn't help but sneeze.

"Are you ill," he asked not sounding concerned.

"Do you care?" She let out a huff and rolled her eyes. "May I come in," she sneezed again.

He took a step to the side and motioned for her to come in. He watched her walk in and the closed the front door and locked it. "You still haven't given me an answer; are you ill?"

"I don't know; probably," she said sounding annoyed.

"You don't know," he questioned.

"Yes, I don't know," she snapped. She looked at his appearance and then wrinkled her brows. "You're wearing pajama pants? I didn't know you wore anything but suits and ties."

"I'll take your coat," he held out his hand and waited.

"You don't have to," she said, crossing her arms.

"I insist," he challenged.

"Take me upstairs first," Kagome said defeated.

"Follow me," he said.


Kagome lay awake next to a sleeping Sesshoumaru. She watched his face as he slept in awe. 'What would he say if I told him I thought he was perfect.' She watched him and wondered who could ever love him. Then, she smiled. She smiled with wicked intent and went to rest her head on his chest and go to sleep.

"Let the games begin Sesshoumaru," Kagome said to herself with a smirk.
