Flashback
Sesshomaru's Beast
Chapter 1
What a trouble maker…
"KAGOME!!" A voice roared from the end of the corridor making the owner of the name snicker in amusement, while she continued to bolt down the hallway.
Her latest prank had been hilarious and completely innocent, but the other servants didn't seem to think so or see it from her point of view.
She had put a red kimono in with the lords white washables and they were all now dyed pink. Of course the lords clothing was woven from a the silk of a spider demon so they would return to normal with another wash, but she had made sure to dye his clothing that he was wearing today. She couldn't wait to see her lordship wearing pink.
'Oh happy days!!' She thought and her snicker turned into a giggle which turned into outright laughter.
"Shoot." She cursed out loud her laughing had taken up her oxygen supply and now she had a stitch. She was far away enough now. She stopped and sat on the floor, the image of the lord wearing pink still very vivid making her laughter start all over again.
So she was sitting on the floor in one of the main corridor laughing like a lunatic.
The was how Lord Sesshomaru found her.
--
He was not having the best of days.
There had been a meeting to discuss the land disputes now that a new Southern Lord was need because the West had won the war. They had tried pressing the duties onto him while he outright refused. The south was filled with dirty snake demons and rogue humans that got into petty
squabbles for dominance on a daily basis. A complete opposite of his lands that were filled with relative peace and knew that the rules of their leader were not to be questioned.
Then he finds out that his clothes were dyed pink, forcing him to walk around for a short time in them, which he was still wearing now.
And now he finds this girl, who he had never seen before laughing like a maniac in his personal hallway.
Things were just not going his way today.
"Girl." He called out. Making sure his voice was filled with the most venomous tone he could muster. She stiffened.
'Good. She should fear me.'
Kagome was nervous. That was not the voice of her caretaker and mother figure Akemi. It was definitely masculine and not very happy with her. What if the man snitched on her?
She gasped. Akemi would kill her when she finds out. She couldn't know! She turned to face the stranger when she was met with a sight that made her laughter return full force.
Now she had never seen the demon lord but had heard many stories and descriptions about him. Nothing prepared her for this. His cold stare that was well known was fierce, and his hair was billowing around him in a deadly dance, but his pink clothing made him look no harmless than a puppy. It was a dark pink when she was finished but it was now a pale pastel pink.
She rolled onto her side to try and lessen the pain in her ribs from laughing.
Sesshomaru was incredulous, though his cold mask would never allow him to show it.
The girl was laughing…
At Him!
With him standing…
Right In Front Of Her!
She was absolutely insane. She just had to be!
This was an interesting situation. No one had ever had the guts to breathe around him, but this slip of a girl was looking straight at him laughing, at least she was until she squeezed her eyes shut to help stem the flow of tears leaking out of her eyes.
"I'm so –gasp- -giggle- SORRY!" She tried to say. She was trying to control her laughter she really was. She had heard of how dangerous he was but it just wouldn't stop. So she laughed for a good 5 minutes. And Sesshomaru stood there with one eyebrow rose in shock and some…amusement…
He waited with a patience he didn't know he had for this type of thing.
Finally she calmed down. She was wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Do you know who I am girl?" He asked coldly.
"Ummm…I thinks so…silver hair, golden eyes, the purple stripes…I pretty sure you're the lord that everyone around talks about." She nodded to prove her point.
"And yet you still laugh, knowing the power I have. This Sesshomaru should have killed you on the spot. I have the right, you not only laughed in my face but you are sitting in my personal hallway which means you are trespassing." He commented.
"Yea, well I said I was sorry, what do you want from me?" She said stubbornly, crossing her arms over her chest.
Sesshomaru was confused.
Why was she not groveling at his feet or running in terror from him like everyone else.
She was doing the opposite, looking him straight in the eye and challenging him. She had to know she was going to lose.
She was an enigma or amusing at least.
"You will become this Sesshomaru's personal servant and do everything I request of you, no questions asked." He ordered with authority.
"Like hell I will. You're crazy if you think I'm gonna be your personal lapdog!" She said giving him a look like he was crazy. Sesshomaru hadn't expected the direct defiance of his orders and was going to enforce a very painful dominance lessons on her, when he heard a gasp.
Akemi had been looking for Kagome for a good half hour now and couldn't find her. She had checked all her usual hiding spot the only place left was the lord's hallway. Knowing Kagome she would probably hide there anyways, not caring what rules she broke in the process.
She had turned a corner when she heard Lord Sesshomaru speak,
"You will become this Sesshomaru's personal servant and do everything I request of you, no questions asked."
Then she heard Kagome reply,
"Like hell I will. You're crazy if you think I'm gonna be your personal lapdog!" She gasped and sprinted around the corner to try and stop Lord Sesshomaru from killing her. She was like her daughter since she couldn't have children of her own.
"You will lest you face the consequences." He said his eyes blazing with fire.
"And you will leave me alone mnmph!" She had a hand clamped firmly over her mouth; she spun as much as she could to find out the culprit.
'Akemi!' She realized with horror. She was in for it now.
Akemi grabbed the back of Kagome's shirt and pulled her to the ground in a bow. With not enough time to use her hand to stop her momentum her head with the wooden floor with a dull 'Thunk.'
She groaned.
"I am so sorry milord. She does not know of what she speaks. She will do whatever you ask of her. Won't you Kagome?" She gave her a pointed look, and removed her hand.
Big mistake.
"No, I cater to no one but myself, he has servants there's no way in hell that I'll waste the precious time of my day to serve Mr. Arrogant here." She heard him growl in response and she growled back.
Sesshomaru almost took a step back in surprise. She had a very good imitation of a growl from an enraged demoness and yet she looked and smelled human enough.
Akemi put her hand back over her mouth.
"She's crazy milord, please forgive her." Akemi said softly, still looking at the ground
"Are you responsible for the girl?" He asked Akemi.
"H-hai." She replied.
"Mnmphmnph!" Kagome cried.
"Release your hand I wish to know what she has to say." Sesshomaru ordered. Akemi did so reluctantly.
"I have a name you arrogant demon. It's Kagome! You'll use it if you ever want any respect from me." She said with anger apparent in her voice. Akemi gasped. She couldn't believe Kagome's actions. She knew the girl was stubborn and head-strong but she was disrespecting Lord Sesshomaru!
"Very well Kagome. I will expect to see you at sunrise waiting in front of my chambers for your first task." Kagome gasped in outrage.
"And I expect you to make sure she follows through with my order." He gave a look to Akemi.
"I will send someone with new clothing for her befitting her new station. You are located in the servant's quarters?"
"Hai, milord."
"Hai, milord." Kagome imitated in a mocking voice. Sesshomaru glared.
"For that little comment you will be waiting in front of my quarters before sunrise. You are dismissed." He waved his hand.
"Hai, milord." Akemi said quickly, she was all to eager to get out of here with her head still intact. She grabbed Kagome by the upper arm and started to drag her resisting form away. She glared at Sesshomaru.
"I hope you know, this means war!" He heard her shout from around the corner and then heard the servant dubbed Akemi scolding her for her behavior.
He let a small smile grace his features, that no one would ever see. This girl…she was different. She had a backbone, and was braver than the other lords and ladies. No one ever stood up to him like that. The future didn't look as boring as he thought it would be. He started off towards his study thinking of all the torturous things he could force on the girl. He would have to start small.
He had the perfect idea!
