Kagome opened her eyes, which in itself was kind of surprising. The last thing she remembered was running to the well, through the snow, and InuYasha…InuYasha had…

A door opened, distracting her. A little girl peaked in. "Oh, yay! You're awake!" she exclaimed, running in. "The healers said you might not, but Rin came to check anyway!" She lowered her voice confidentially. "Rin is not supposed to be here. I'm Rin."

Kagome stared at the girl. She looked familiar… "Ummm…I'm Kagome. Can you tell me where I am, Rin?"

"You are in the Palace of the Moon." a new voice said. It was male, deep and baritone, and Kagome felt as it she had heard it somewhere before. "Rin, why don't you go see what Jaken is doing?"

Rin skipped out of the room, leaving Kagome alone with…

The Aristocratic Assassin, the Killing Perfection, the Lord of the Western Lands, Lord Sesshomaru.

She froze, staring into those merciless golden eyes. And she knew she was going to die.

***~~~*** Kinda Sesshy POV ***~~~***

The woman- Kagome, she'd called herself- stiffened when she noticed him. Sesshomaru could smell her fear. 'She probably thinks this Sesshomaru is going to kill her.' he though dispassionately.

He didn't really care if she was terrified or not, but it would be easier if she knew what was going on.

"You are InuYasha's wench?" ha asked. He was almost certain it was her, but then again, all ningen looked alike to him.

To his surprise, anger sparked in her eyes, eyes a startling cerulean blue he had never seen before.

"My name is Kagome. Ka- Go- Me!" she snapped.

"This Sesshomaru does not care what you name is, Ka-Go-Me." he said, turning her name into an insult. "This Sesshomaru simply wants to know if he can return you to get what is rightfully his."

She paled, and the scent of her terror spiked. "The Tetsusaiga…You want to give me back to InuYasha for the Tetsusaiga…" she whispered in a choked voice.

He allowed himself a smirk. "Of course. What else do you think this Sesshomaru would do with a ningen?"

She drew her knees up to her chest, looking rather defenseless and vulnerable.

Sesshomaru's predatory nature found it oddly appealing.

"No." she said quietly. "I can't go back…I won't go back." She looked up at him, blue eyes clashing with gold, and Sesshomaru was intrigued by the determination he saw there. "I'll kill myself before I go back."

'What happened to the onna?' Sesshomaru wondered, but aloud, he said, "This Sesshomaru would simply bring you back to life with his Tenseiga."

"Then I'd kill myself again." she said, voice steely. "And again, and again, and again, until you get tired of bring me back."

"We'll see." Sesshomaru replied. "There is a knife in the drawer of you bedside table, onna. Kill yourself if you must, though this Sesshomaru suspects you lack the strength to do so."

With those lovely words of encouragement, he turned, leaving the miko alone.
