Hey guys!! I've changed a few things in this chapter because I didn't like the direction it was going. I've also cleared up a few details which didn't make sense. Overall, I hope you all enjoy this chapter. All types of criticism are welcomed, but I ask that no flame. If you don't like it, then don't read it.

I do not own any of Rumiko Takahashi's Inuyasha characters.

'thoughts'

"speech"

After school ended, Kagome had long ago left Miroku and Sango to their own activities, and had decided to go home. Something kept tugging at her, though, she didn't want to go home. To go home would mean to ignore to her instincts, which usually lead her down the correct path. This time instead of listening to her brain, she let instinct take over and allowed fate to control her steps to wherever she'd end up.

The feeling of purposeless was more evident today than any other. She had no errands to run nor any homework to complete; she was completely free of responsibilities today. Part of her felt relieved but, at the same time, anxious. Never before had she experienced a feeling of listlessness so strong she felt the need to be cautious.

After an hour walk, Kagome found herself standing in front of an impressive dojo. The outer gate looked almost intimidating, as though it was silently challenging all who step past its doors. Its left door was opened slightly and, from what Kagome could feel, there was an intense fight going on.

She stepped inside an saw a stone path laid out before her, which was surrounded by a beautiful garden by which likes Kagome had never seen. The grass was a lush green and flowered bushes were spread in such a way where their numbers were numerous but not overbearing. In front of her, was a traditionally styled building that had sliding doors and white-wash paper panels. The floor looked to polished and had a bucket of water with a rag hanging off its sides next to a polished wooden column. Where the path ended and the building began, three sets of sandals laid undisturbed and still. She felt a strong spiritually presence within the dojo and figured whoever owned must use it a shrine as well.

After she placed her school shoes next to the other three, she step onto the polished floor and peeked into the room. Before her were Onigumo and Sesshomaru, in their fighting stances, staring each other down with such intensity she was surprised they didn't turn into flaming balls of flesh. Their minds were focused, their powers were controlled, and their positions were ready. The air was so thick with tension and anticipation, Kagome felt herself unable to tear her eyes away from the scene out of fear she would miss the next move.

"I suggest ye come in and sit, young one. This is a fight one such as yeself should not miss." said an elderly voice.

Kagome looked to the side to see an old woman in priestess garb, staring intently at the scene before her. The young girl stepped inside and kneeled next to the old woman.

"Study this battle, young one. Look at how focused they be, nothing else be on their mind but this fight. Right now, as we sit to the side they are analyzing, the others movements and reviewing the attacks they've already seen. Each be looking for a moment of weakness and be challenging the other to make the first move." explained the gray-haired woman.

"How long have they been sparring?" asked Kagome.

The old woman chuckled, "They be not sparring young one. They be fighting as if this were a true battle, and ye may not realize it but they been at this for three hours. Neither have lost their composure nor have they hinted at any weakness."

"They're not trying to hurt each other are they?" asked Kagome, curiously.

"That they are. They wish to prove who is the best."

After a long pause Kagome commented, "Sadistic bastards."

"Don't worry bout them; ye wouldn't know it but they carry a bond stronger than any I've seen in many years. They've been wanting a challenging match, and each be confident in the others' skill. Ye do not have to worry bout these two." chuckled the old woman.

Kagome sighed in understanding and said, "My name is Kagome Higurashi."

"My name be Kaede. 'Tis a pleasure to meet ye, child." answered Kaede.

Onigumo's lip corner twitched slightly, and Sesshomaru attacked. They both struck with such precision and speed their movements looked like a dangerous dance. Neither of them let up on their attacks and with each swipe of Sesshomaru's sword, Onigumo parried it with his katana. Their eyes were as sharp as their reflexes, and their display of strength was as fierce as their intensity. With one false move, one of them could lose their very lives and forever stop this dance of the gods.

Sesshomaru's hair shined a beautiful moonlight glow, and Onigumo's dark locks reveled in it's darkness. These men were god-like beauties who held intelligence and skill that far surpassed anyone Kagome had ever seen.

Kagome felt her heart flutter, and her powers calm. It had been a long time since she'd seen or engaged in such an intense match where both competitors gave it their all and weren't willing to fight with anything less than their best.

Suddenly, the fight was over. Onigumo was behind Sesshomaru with his weapon on the front of his neck, and Sesshomaru's sword was angled by Onigumo's side, where if he pushed upward, his sword would pierce his right lung and then heart. The position was very awkward, but both looked content. Naraku whispered something in Sesshomaru's ear after which he decided to nibble on the golden eyed beauty's ear. A very slight shiver rushed down Sesshomaru's spine before he closed his eyes and tilt his head. Geronimo's lips travel down to the nook of his neck with a trail of kisses, licks, and bites. The grips on their weapons remained steady, but their minds were preoccupied.

Kagome found the whole scene erotic; she never found guy on guy action to be a turn on, especially little scenes such as this, but, now, her mind and body were a foreign entities. Her face reddened slightly, and small spark of liquid fire flared within her stomach. She found herself wishing Onigumo's lips were on her neck, and another part of her wished it was her who was giving Sesshomaru pleasure. She turned to look at the old woman only to see her seat empty. She was alone with the two dangerous beauties.

Slowly, she evened out her breathing and turned her head down; something about their interaction called to her, however slight it was. The image of Onigumo's tongue caressing Sesshomaru's delicate porcelain skin etched itself permanently in her mind. Struggling for control, Kagome turned to leave when the door was slammed shut. When she looked up Sesshomaru was standing there in a loose white kimono with a yellow sash and staring at her emotionlessly. Naraku was standing on the other side of her in a loose dark purple kimono with a black sash.

Kagome breathe caught in her throat but ignored it, deciding to stand up. Their eyes followed her every move, but Kagome didn't let it faze her. Crossing her arms and evening her breathe, she asked, "Why are you guys blocking my path?"

"Did you enjoy the show?" asked Naraku, ignoring her question.

"Let me through, I was about to give you both your privacy when Fluffy over her closed the door." snapped Kagome.

Sesshomaru lifted an eyebrow and Naraku observed the fuming girl with a humorous smirk. "You still haven't answer my question, Ms. Higurashi. Did you enjoy the show?"

A blush threatened to appear, but Kagome set it aside and calmed down. "The fight was entertaining if that's what you mean. This was the first time, in a long time, I was able to observed something so intense."

"That wasn't what I meant Ms. Higurashi and you know it." smirked Naraku.

"I don't know what your talking about, so if you excuse me I'll be leaving now." said Kagome, with another blush threatening to show itself.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, Sesshomaru swiped his sword, which almost succeeded in beheading her. Luckily, Kagome did a back flip and managed to distance herself about three meters.

"What was that for? You could have killed me! I don't even a weapon to protect my-" yelled Kagome.

"Don't take us for fools, miko. One as powerful as you must have a weapon concealed on your person." commented Sesshomaru.

"I suggest you take out your weapon Ms. Higurashi. We have no intention of letting you leave without a fight." replied Naraku.

"I don't know where your getting your information, but I think you both need to get your heads examined.", replied Kagome, steely, "I think it would be wise if you allowed me to leave. Now!"

Naraku chuckled, "Did I just hear a hidden threat?"

With no warning, Sesshomaru attacked with such force, the floor where Kagome had been, became a crater of wood and debris. "Draw your sword, miko," commanded Sesshomaru.

"I don't take orders from pricks," snapped a shocked Kagome, the force and speed he'd used was an utter shock; never before had she encountered such power.

Sesshomaru continued his assault as his eyes locked on her's. With his blade lifted, he appeared before her, leaving her no room for escape. With little to no time to react, she reached behind her and brought forth her most treasured possession. The blade looked to be about four feet in length and its hilt was wrapped was black and white, with a white jewel on the right side and a white jewel on the other side. She tilted her wrist and stopped the blade which happened to be headed for her head.

'Her reflexes are impressive,' thought Naraku.

"Hey! When did I get involved in this fight?" yelled Kagome, parrying Sesshomaru's blows with an experienced grace. "I told you I didn't want to fight you. Now stop fighting me you blockhead!"

She ducked to miss getting sliced, then did two backward flips to get some distance.

"You are quite capable of defending yourself, miko. Now stop acting like a fool and get on the offensive. Your future opponent will not be as lenient as me." said Sesshomaru, blandly, as he commenced to attack.

"Future opponent? What! Who said anything about future opponents?" asked Kagome, ducking then swinging her blade toward Sesshomaru's legs. He quickly blocked and pushed off her blade. 'Damn. He's fast.' thought Kagome, narrowing her eyes.

"You heard me, wench. Your lax skills are proving to be-"

Gracefully, Kagome jumped into the air and switched from a left-handed grip to a right-handed grip . Coming down, she slashed down with such speed and power her blade cut through Sesshomaru's katana, like a knife cuts through soft butter, and created a crater where he had been standing. He had no choice but to move back, but Kagome saw that move and pushed forward. She repositioned her blade at her side, but Sesshomaru had already thrown aside the useless blade and unsheathed a much large, more powerful blade. Seeing this, she analyzed the situation and dodged the blade that was heading straight for her. She moved to the left, spun, and attempted to slice his stomach, but Sesshomaru moved to the side in time to block it, and was about to slice her head off again, had she not, in one fluid motion, put the hilt in her mouth, and, at the same time, done a one-handed back-flip.

Invoking the swords powers, Kagome clapped her hands together and chanted words within her mind. The long sword, in her mouth, glowed a vibrant blue and separated to form two different katanas; one had a white hilt with the design of a black, jewel-crested dragon, and the other one had a black hilt with a white, jewel-crested dragon. Neither Onigumo nor Sesshomaru were surprised at the swords transformation and without any warning charged toward her.

Sensing the two powerful attacking auras, Kagome opened her eyes and blocked their synchronized attacks. Onigumo had attacked her from the right and Sesshomaru had taken to attack her from left. Not liking her current vulnerable position, she moved her left foot forward and moved the rest of her body with it, with her arms crossed. She then spread out her arms and caused Onigumo and Sesshomaru to jump back.

With bangs covering her eyes darkly, Kagome whispered, "What are you two?"

Throughout the entire fight, Kagome had been trying to analyze their auras and find out what type of demons they were, but they hid themselves well. She knew nothing of these demons and they had the advantage. Kagome could feel her body falter a bit for she hadn't fought this hard in a long time and wasn't prepared for the physical and spiritual strain. Their synchronized attacks had forced her to use her powers to compensate for their strength. The speed and strength which was needed to beat them was inhuman, even by yokai standards.

Looking up, steel blue eyes met emotionless gold, "Who are you two?" asked Kagome.

"I am Sesshomaru, daiyokai, and, at one time, was the ruler of the Western Land."

"I am Naraku, a spider-yokai, who at one time almost destroyed this world."

Kagome felt as though a cold bucket of water had splashed all over her. She was in the presence of two of the most powerful yokai known to man. Sesshomaru was the son of Inu no Taishou and was said to have surpassed his own father with the creation of the sword Bakusaiga. Naraku was consider the most vile and evil of all demons, but one day vanished and hadn't resurfaced for hundreds of years. The blood in Kagome's veins froze, and her stoic mask almost cracked.

Naraku chuckled darkly, "Where is that spitfire spirit of yours, Kagome. Do I sense fear?"

Kagome turned her eyes away from Sesshomaru's molten gold to Naraku's green depths; for a second she did feel a flicker of fear, but after hearing Naraku's arrogant remark, all trances of emotion vanished from her aura and face. Kagome gave him a beguiling smirk, "Don't fool yourself Naraku. You think too high of yourself." Recalling her sister's teachings, Kagome relaxed and straightened her arms and body.

"I'm done with this little lesson, so now if you don't mind," Kagome jumped weightlessly onto Sesshomaru's sword, and flipped over his head. "I'll be leaving now."

Just as she was a about to open the door, a blade stopped just a hair away from her neck.

"Now where do you think your going, miko? Your lesson is not yet done." asked Naraku, seductively.

"You know it is against the law to hold someone against their will with a weapon positioned at their neck, right?" asked a glaring Kagome. 'How the hell did he move so fast?'

If looks could kill, Onigumo would a in a pile of burning ashes, but all he did she smirk at her like the arrogant bastard he was. 'How the hell am I going to get out of this situation? I have two sadistic, psychotic maniacs who want slice me into little pieces and have the resources to make my minced remains disappear forever...My. Life. Sucks.' thought Kagome.

Kagome released a frustrated sighed. "Why don't I get a say in this?" asked the frustrated miko.

"Because we're having too much fun. It's been a long time since we've had an opponent, besides ourselves, who've lasted this long." said Onigumo.

"Your both sadistic then. Its two against one. Do you guys need to cheat to beat a weak priestess?" asked Kagome, not liking the odds.

"You are not as weak as you preceive yourself to be, miko. Not many have been able to achieve what you have just done now." whispered Sesshomaru, in her ear, " Also if recall, ordinary miko don't carry magically concealed weapons on their being."

His head immediately disappeared from range before Kagome's shock of being complimented by the Ice Prince himself could fade. She turned around and continued to analyze her opponents; something felt off about their intentions. 'What do they really want?' thought Kagome.

"My name is Ka-Go-Me, not miko, and when am I going to be let out of here?" asked Kagome, 'I should have listen to my head and just went home, instead I just had to let fate screw with my life.'

"When we've had our fun," chuckled Naraku. His voice sent gentle shivers down Kagome's back. 'Focus,' thought Kagome, relaxing her body.

Sesshomaru was the first to attack and went for the frontal assault while Naraku moved to strike from behind. Both blows were blocked by the delicate-looking girl before them, who was wearing a smirk so sinister even Sesshomaru was troubled by its presence. She twisted her body and their swords went flying.

"That was boring," muttered Kagome.

"Do not think we need to rely on tools to defeat you miko," retorted Sesshomaru.

"We both are very skilled in other areas," added Onigumo, "Sesshomaru. This one needs to be taught a lesson in manners. Don't you agree?"

"Yes. A lesson."

"What the hell are you both babbling on about? If anything you both need to be taught a lesson on how to properly hol-oh no," paled Kagome. 'They deliberately loosened the hold on their weapons, but why?'

"Ah, I see that you are now beginning to understand. Our intention in this fight isn't to harm you." whispered Naraku.

Sesshomaru grabbed her right wrist and Naraku grabbed her left wrist. Naraku nuzzled her neck from behind, while Sesshomaru lifted her chin to reveal a shocked expression on Kagome's face.

"What's goin-" started Kagome before she found a pair of warm lips on her own.

When he touched her, her powers didn't react. In fact, they seemed to purr, and when Naraku grabbed her gently from behind and buried his face in her neck, they soothed him as a gentle breeze would a tree's leaves. She gasped when she felt Naraku kiss the sensitive skin on her neck, giving Sesshomaru entrance to her mouth. A warm appendage entered her mouth, but she couldn't fight it. She felt warmth and comfort in this embrace and started to kiss Sesshomaru back.

Sparks of liquid white fire bounced within her naval and made her knees weak as her senses were overwhelmed with pleasure. When she moaned, she noticed the other two stiffened and tightened their grasp on her. The kiss intensified and hands began groping her over her uniforms. Every fiber of her being was sensitized and craved for more; she felt moisture gather in her underwear when she finally gathered her wits, only to lose all coherent thought as their auras began to merge with her.

This created a feeling of pleasure so strong that she could have sworn she heard the other two males moan in ecstasy. She felt she was about to climax when the kiss stopped. It was then, when a mental image of herself was implanted within her mind: she looked dazed, flushed, and absolutely vulnerable.

"It's been a long time, my love," whispered Naraku.

"Yes, a long time, koi," repeated a dazed Sesshomaru.

&

'Love? Koi? Wait! What! How?' panicked Kagome. She was currently standing between two extremely gorgeous and extremely dangerous men who just proclaimed her their love. 'What am I missing?' screamed Kagome, in her mind. The demon before was enjoying the different displays of emotions her eyes revealed; first there was lust, then confusion, then panic, then anger.

Kagome felt vibrations from Sesshomaru's chest only to here a soft, soothing chuckle release itself from the depth of the Ice Prince's stoic features. According to the research, Sesshomaru was a cold-hearted being who never revealed emotions beyond boredom annoyance, so why was the being before her laughing as though this was a daily occurrence? She'd only been in the facility for a total of ten minutes and she'd heard what no else, the exception being Naraku, had witnessed. 'The world has ended' thought a blushing Kagome, 'I'm dreaming. I have to be dreaming. I have two sexy demons-NO! I did not just say sexy. What the hell? This can't be real. IT CAN'T!'

Kagome made a move to remove herself from their comfortable embrace, but Naraku wasn't ready to let go yet, neither was Sesshomaru. After a few minutes of struggling Kagome gave up and rested her head and hands on Sesshomaru's chest. She felt lust flare within his aura but ignored it. 'Serves him right' thought Kagome, reveling in her small victory.

Naraku's face was still buried in the side of her neck and tightened his grip on her waist. Sesshomaru placed his left hand on the back of her head and snaked his hand between Naraku stomach and Kagome's back with a firm grip of his own. He decided to bury his face into the other side of her neck, finding comfort in her scent. Kagome, finding no alternative or chance of escape, relaxed in the embrace and accepted the two.

She didn't understand her own acceptance of the situation, though; it felt right to have them here with her in the middle. A sense of completeness enveloped her and it seemed their presence calmed her very soul. She felt safe; it was a feeling so new and different she had to take a few minutes to find a word to describe this incredible feeling: Love. She felt loved and needed. To these two, she felt that if something terrible happened to her they would love her no matter the outcome.

A thought suddenly struck her: Why am I so familiar with these two?. She'd only met them today, but she felt as though she's known them longer. 'How do I understand their need for me so completely?' thought Kagome. After that thought, both Sesshomaru and Naraku nuzzled deeper into her neck, causing their breathes and lips to caress her already sensitized skin. Sparks relit themselves within Kagome, as she unknowingly arched her back, which in turn caused the two smirking males to repeat their actions in an effort to hear the maiden moan again. Both were sporting hard-ons, the likes to which neither had experienced before. With a simple silent moan, Kagome had almost managed to almost break their resolve to not claim her right then and there; she was too damn tempting for her own good.

They stayed there for a good twenty minutes before Kaede interrupted them, "Ahem, I suggest ye two release Ms. Kagome over there. Ye both have been holding for a good thirty minutes. Why don't I treat ye three to some tea?"

Naraku and Sesshomaru opened their eyes and growled at the offending woman who was interrupting their peaceful embrace with their mate. Kagome saw the danger in such actions and used her powers to soothe them, whispering "Don't worry, she's not here to take me away. She's only offering us some tea. I won't leave your sides. I promise." Slowly, their beasts receded as their grips loosen. When both released her small form, she looked up as though to ask 'May I go now?' when both males nodded. The old woman watch their silent exchange with a knowing smile and turned around when Kagome started walking her way.

The males trailed behind Kagome and when they sat down for tea Naraku sat to her right while Sesshomaru sat to her left. Kagome looked completely comfortable and paid no mind to the agitation that was apparent within her two 'protectors'. "Hello Kaede, what a beautiful shrine you have." relied Kagome with a smile.

"Thank ye child. Tis been in my family for generations. It was said that the priestess who once guarded the Shikon no Tama once resided here."

"Shikon no Tama?" questioned Kagome while sipping her tea.

"It was a jewel of great power that was said to have been created by the priestess Midoriko in the midst battle with a powerful yokai named Magatsuhi. It was said she had the power to purify ten demons at once and had powers none could match. The jewel was created after seven days of continuous battle, when just as she was about to be crushed by a demons jaws used the last of her power and bound the yokais soul, along with her own to created the jewel. If a person of evil intent and heart made a wish upon the jewel the jewel became tainted and would demand a high price, but, as legend be, if a balance of Aramitama, Nigimitama, Kushimitama, and Sakimitama be present within the heart of the jewel's holder and wisher, Midoriko would finally be allowed to rest in peace."

"Courage, friendship, wisdom, and love?" translated Kagome.

"Aye," replied Kaede.

"Do you believe in the legend Kaede?" asked Kagome, noticing the slight stiffening in Sesshomaru's and Naraku's forms.

The old woman chuckled and replied, "The jewel hasn't made an appearance for over five hundred years, but I be not doubting its existence young one. Aye, I do believe in the old legend. Do ye?" asked the clever woman.

"I don't know, but I do have a feeling ..." Kagome trailed off in heavy thought. The connection to the story she felt almost felt as strong as her connection with the jewel. Something about it sounded familiar; for a brief second she felt the presence of a powerful orb floating within her chest before it disappeared. The presence disturbed her; her sister, Kikyo always said that the powers she carried were weak, but for a brief second she felt a sea of power over come her before it quickly receded as though it was never there.

"Kagome?" called Kaede.

"Umm...Yes?" stammered Kagome.

"Ye be okay? For a second ye were lost in thought." she asked, not oblivious to the sudden power which had surrounded the maiden before a second ago.

"Uhhh, no, wait I'm fine I was just thinking about your story for a second there. Sorry for worrying you there. Something about it seemed familiar. I think maybe my grandfather might have told of the same legend. Hehe." replied Kagome, scratching her head with a nervous laugh. Sesshomaru and Naraku traded glances before resting them on Kagome, apparently they'd sensed it too and knew she was lying. 'This girl is interesting', thought Kaede, with a smile.

"Does ye grandfather be a priest? I would think only a priest would know of such a legend."

"Your right, but I also happen to live on shrine. Very much like you, my family has always up kept the shrine from generation to generation. My grandfather was thinking about passing it down to my older sister Kikyo, since I want to go to college."

"Ahh, what do ye wish to study?"

"I kinda wanted to be an archaeologists. I'm interested in understanding different cultures and the histories which people have a tendency of forgetting."

"Ye be a worldly child, tis rare to find a jewel such as yeself Kagome."

Kagome blushed at the comment, "Thank you." looking at her watch, "I think I have to go now I don't want to worry my mom."

"Very well, have a good day Kagome." bade Kaede moving to get up.

"Don't worry. I know the way out. Thank you for tea. Goodbye Sesshomaru-sama. Goodbye Onigumo-sama." bowed Kagome.

When Kagome reached the outer gates of the dojo/shrine Sesshomaru and Naraku were already leaning against its walls. 'I guess no easy exit' complained Kagome, 'Why the hell do these two have to be so stubborn. I only just met them. Kami! Why me!' The she remembered their heated encounter and stumbled when Sesshomaru caught her. "You should be more careful, miko." he whispered, huskily.

A blush appeared on her face for a second before she composed herself and walked past the mischievous dog demon. He turned around and stared at the perfected shaped ass and smirked evilly to himself, 'Just wait miko. You will be mine and I will make sure you cannot walk as confidently as you do now.'

Kagome stiffened slightly and felt waved of lust hit her. Instead of turning around she continued to walk only to hear Naraku say, "Goodbye Kagome. Don't think this is the last you see of us."

She felt a shiver race up her spine as he said her name, but ignored it in favor of reading the yellow pages, whose words could divert her attention from anything. 'I need to understand their intentions before I can allow myself to indulge in their touch. There has to be a reason for their sudden interaction with me.'

Lady Galriee: Thanks. Hope you liked it.

red24ly: Here it is. Enjoy!!

HayleyM425: Thanks. It took me some time to come up with this, but I knew I was definitely making it a threesome coupling.

Umi no Kaiso: Thanks, your review gave me a lot of confidence. I wasn't sure if people were going to like all of the details I added to the plot. I don't like stories that are vague and expect the reader to automatically know whats going on if I'm creating a story of my own creation. I always wanted Kagome to be stronger in the series, so I decided to give her skills that matched her firey spirit.
