Sesshoumaru felt the sun coming through the window. He opened his eyes and instead of seeing the wall, he was staring at the ceiling. He frowned as he tried to sit up only to feel pressure on his chest. He looked down at a head of black hair. Sesshoumaru tried to think of how he had got here then he remembered that the miko had a nightmare and he had stayed at her request. Sesshoumaru used his tail to move the miko off his chest that way he was able to move. Once the girl was on the bed she grabbed the pillow that he had used and curled up to it then was asleep again. Sesshoumaru watched the girl for a moment then turned and walked to the door that lead to his room. He needed a bath and had important matters to attend to.

Kagome waited til Sesshoumaru left til she opened her eyes and looked around. She had been asleep til she felt herself move. Kagome kept herself calm as felt Sesshoumaru move her then get up. She started to feel cold so she tried to make it look as though she was feeling for something in her sleep and as soon as her hands found a pillow she drew it to her chest and breathed deeply. The scent that was on it was intoxicating. The scent was of fresh cut pine that was left out in the rain as well as a hint of a smell that she could only describe as soothing maybe lavender. She slowed her breathing and heart rate to appear that she had fallen asleep, hoping that Sesshoumaru would leave. Kagome could hear him stand there for a moment till he walked to the door, opened it and the closed it softly as though not to wake her.

Once Kagome knew that he was gone she got out of bed and walked over to the window. When she seen that there was a window bench she couldn't help herself as she sat down and gaze at the gardens that graced her view. She took a deep breathe and exhaled. She had always loved the morning with the crisp air and the chill of the night lingering. She could feel the goosebumps pop up on her skin but she couldn't leave such a wonderful sight. So she decided that she would stay a few more minutes.

Sesshoumaru stepped back into his chambers to get dress only to stop when a knock came on the door. He quickly grabbed his robe and covered himself. "Enter."

Jaken opened the door and walked over in front of his lord and bowed. "Mi-lord the slayers group has just arrived."

"Send them to my study."

"As you wish my lord." Jaken replied as he made his way out the door. Sesshoumaru sighed. He had forgot that the slayers group would be arriving today. He had heard about them. There was a demon slayer, a monk, a neko demon and a kitsune, as well as three wolf demons and if he remembered correctly the leader of the wolf tribe, Kouga, was one of the three wolves. He knew that the young lord could be very rude. Sesshoumaru changed quickly but instead of going to his study he went over to the door that held the young miko. He paused as his grabbed the handle and asked himself why he was going to check on her. Sesshoumaru shook his head and turned away not wanting to examine the thought further. He was about to open his bedroom door when he heard the door between his room and the room he had the miko put in open he turned to see her standing there in a kimono that was black with red flowers embroidered on it.

Kagome had heard what Sesshoumarus servant told him. She knew of the battle that was approaching and since she has already altered the fate by saving Inuyasha and Lord Sesshoumaru, she decided that she would tell him everything she could before he went into the room with the group that had arrived. She quickly got dressed and ran to the door when she opened it she seen that she had almost missed him. Smiling softly she motioned for him to take a chair. She walked over and sat patiently while he took a moment to gather his thoughts. Finally he walked over and sat down. Sesshoumaru sat back in his chair and waited for the miko to speak.

"I want to tell you something that is very difficult." Kagome began.

"Then tell This Sesshoumaru, miko." Sesshoumaru crossed his arms across his chest and stared at the girl. Kagome took a deep breath then continued.

"Do you remember when I protected you?" Sesshoumaru nodded. "I changed history that day. You were suppose to die along with your brother. If you had of died then the world would have been thrown into a war that would cost a lot of people their lives. The only reason I'm telling you this is because since my cousin and I have been sent back here I feel as though I am here for a purpose." Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru. "Do you understand?"

Sesshoumaru thought about what she did that day and then just now. He did not like the fact that he had to be saved by a ningen miko but she did so that he and his brother could live. Sesshoumaru knew that she was not lying about what she had told him so he sighed internally. "Even if what you say is true, how can this Sesshoumaru trust you?"

Kagome clinched her fist tighter. "I understand that you would not take my word. So I have come up with a plan to prove this to you. You are meeting the slayers group are you not?"

"How did you come by that information?" Sesshoumaru stood abruptly and move in front of her and leaning over that way he could look in her eyes. Kagome's eyes widen with fear. She mentally kicked herself for upsetting the demon lord. She swallowed and licked her dry lips before she spoke.

"Like I told you before, I am from the future!" She yelled at his face. Kagomes anger had flared with him staring at her as if she lied to him. Kagome was a miko and spoke the truth, most of the time but she would never lie to him about something so important.

Sesshoumaru was about to say something but was interrupted by Kagome. "Now since your done yelling at me I will tell you something that you don't know as of yet. The monk is named Miroku and he has a wind-tunnel in his hand that was a curse from Naraku. He will argue with you until you agree to let them help." Kagome sat back against the chair and crossed her arms over her chest. She was waiting for him to make his move.

Sesshoumaru was on the verge of slicing her throat, when she sat back and looked at him with out fear but anger in her eyes. He narrowed his and left the room. He had more important things to do than listen to this woman's imagination. Sesshoumaru was walking into his study that held the slayer, monk, the three wolfs as well as the kitsune and neko. Sesshoumaru walked over and sat behind the desk and tried to relax. He could feel their eyes on him but he was waiting for Inuyasha. It was about a half hour til his brother arrived with Kikyo at his side. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes as he took a sniff of the air around them. He felt himself growl at what he smelled.

"This Sesshoumaru will deal with you later, Inuyasha." Sesshoumaru looked at the miko. "You may go visit your cousin if you wish. She is in the room next to mine." Kikyo bowed then left. Inuyasha smirked when he heard that his brother had put Kagome in the room where the Lady of the West would stay. He could see that his brother was giving him a go to hell look so he just smiled and took a seat.

"Lets get this over with." Inuyasha said as he flopped down in a chair beside the desk.

The slayer nodded then stood before both of them. "My name is Sango." Pointing to each person as she named them, "That is Kouga, Ginta, Hakkaku, Kirara, Shippou and the monk is named Miroku. The reason we are here mi-lord is to join the fight against Naraku. He has taken from all of us at one point in time and we want revenge."

Sesshoumaru nodded then looked at the monk. "Why do you fight?"

"Well Lord Sesshoumaru that is a simple answer. Naraku cursed my great great grandfather with a Wind-Tunnel in his right hand. It is pasted down from father to son until Naraku is killed or there are no males left in my family." Miroku told Sesshoumaru as he held the lords gaze. Sesshoumaru nodded.

"Do you happen to know a miko by the name of Kagome?" Sesshoumaru asked as he smelled the air for lies.

"No mi-lord." Sesshoumaru nodded when he smelt nothing off. He stood up and looked at Inuyasha.

"This Sesshoumaru shall be right back." He told everyone as he made his way out into the hall way and back to Kagome's room. He could not shake the feeling that Kagome indeed have a place here. Now all Sesshoumaru had to do was find out her purpose.
