R/R please and tell me what you think. Please no more flames

She hated her every time she looked at her. She hated her more when he walked beside her, even talked to her. She couldn't understand what her saw in her, a human and a Miko at that.

Her Lord had acted strange as of late. Announcing to the palace his intent to mate the Shikon Miko. And even now he was having the whole of the family wing remodeled to fit her taste. She hated her…

She came with the soldier's to her keep her lord Company. To serve him and be at his side. But she was there that Miko whore. Everyone knew she was the better choice for a mate to their Lord. Her educations put her above everyone including that Miko whore. Her breeding could be traced back for generations what did the Miko have nothing she was a half-wit. What could a child possibly know that she didn't yet he talked to her for hours? She had formed a plan she would sneak into her lord's tent and have a talk with him. It was time he opened his eyes and stopped embarrassing himself with that human child. He would end up a laughing-stock with the other lords if she let this continue.

She snuck into his tent as the moon took her place in the sky. She shed her kimono and rolled around in his silken covers. Bold as ever she opened the silk wrapped gift she found next to his bedding. It just had to be for her he often gave her gifts.

"My Lord was only trying to make me jealous over that human. I knew he cared for me," she smiled and ran her finger over the gracefully craved runes on the wood. A strange energy she never felt before rose up and flung her across the tent floor.

Her screech brought the guards who drew their weapons.

"What are you doing in our lords' tent?"

"Nn, not that it's any of your business but I am waiting to attend to our lords needs" she smiled curled back up on the sheets naked as the day she was born. Licking her lips as she eyed the guards.

"Our lord has stated none but the Miko is to enter his tent without his say so. . . Leave"

"She is the favorite Sai let her alone. Our lord might be happy to get some fun out in this place" spoke Kai who let her in; in the first place.

"You're taking the blame this time Kai if our lord is displeased"

"That's fine," they took one last look at her as if it was her last day on earth.

"I am our lord's favorite and come and go as I please. Besides the Miko can not hold a candle to me." She caresses her breast and moaned. The guards looked to each other and left. She smiled and waited on her lord Sesshoumaru should be there soon.

Sesshoumaru's mind was on the progress he made with his Miko as he entered his tent. Surprisingly he was caught off guard as she threw herself at him.

At the same time Kagome with Sango in tow entered the tent. Kagome's eyes widen as she turned quickly "Sorry I . . . didn't know," they left as quickly as they came. But not before Sesshoumaru heard Sango say "See I told you! He wanted you to see them together. He was just using you"

Sesshoumaru snarled and snatched the female youkai off his body and threw her across the tent.

"You will never touch this Sesshoumaru again wench"

"But my lord, I am your favorite. I am I not allowed to please you?" she batted her eyelashes at him and ran her hands down her body as she lay on the ground. Spreading her legs she smiled. "My lord needs to be pleased in this horrible place surrounded by those disgusting humans"

"In name only . . . . Leave," he snarled straighten his haori and turned to follow Kagome. "Pack your things and returned to your family," he turned and smirked.

She shivered and frowned.

"Surely you just. That human is no match for one such as I. She is not as educated and beautiful as I. No, I will not be returning home but to the palace to await your return." She stood and dressed.

"Guards," Sesshoumaru snarled in second the guards raced into the tent and stood at attention. "Take Mia back to the house of the Moon if she is not off the western lands in two days she is to be put to death"

She approached him ignoring his posture and red bleeding into his eyes. She tilted her head in submission. "Surely you don't mean that my lord," she purred and rubbed her body against his convinced that she could change his mind. Sesshoumaru threw her at the guards.

"You have one day to leave the western lands or death will come to you quickly"

"Your human will never have you," she laughed as the guard drug her away "NEVER"

Sesshoumaru went quickly to find Kagome. She shied away and blushed while looking away from him. "I didn't mean to disturb you"

"She is unimportant"

"How is the female you are. . are sleeping with unimportant? That is just wrong"

"This Sesshoumaru is not sleeping with her as you have stated"

"But she was . . was nak-," he placed his finger over her mouth and concealed the shiver that slide down his spine at the softness of her lips.

"What she was and is, is unimportant like the female. She has over stepped her bounds and has been removed to cause you no farther embarrassment," he spoke low for her ears only. He turned his finger and caresses her bottom lip in a quick moment so she wouldn't notice.

"You didn't have to do that! She obviously loves you to want to get you attention in such a way" she blushed again and mumbled.

"(Sigh) You will find because of this one wealth, status and looks he is craved and as you say 'loved' by all," she flinched as she heard the bitter pain in his voice. "You wanted this one for a reason Miko?"

"I've decided to drain the well and to give the power run-off to the children and Miroku what do you think?"

"This Sesshoumaru would have to agree. None could be trust with such power"

She sighed in relief not because she didn't trust the northern lord no it was just that she trusted Sesshoumaru just a bit more. And after that thing with cliff with Inuyasha she was beginning to not trust him at all. Everyone thought she just smiled the thing away. But was beginning to think the Hanyou she use to love with her whole heart and soul was trying to kill her off. She had been thinking about it for a while now. Every since he brought Kikyo in the group. Sesshoumaru's touch brought her out of her thoughts.

"When will do this thing Miko?"

"Tomorrow at evening time"

"This Sesshoumaru will as you say have your back" he sighed as she chuckled. Happy that she was again content in his presence he didn't think he could handle if her behavior from a few moments ago continued. But he thought on killing Mia anyway just to keep her from plotting against his Miko. She just didn't know female youkai are a vengeful sort and hardly took no for an answer. He would have to send word to the palace about finding his concubines other places to live or other jobs to keep them way from his Miko.

Kazuo voice pulled them both from their thoughts. "Would you walk with me Lady Kagome?"

"Is there something wrong Lord Kazuo?"

"I only wish the pleasure of your company my lady," he smiled charmingly at Kagome showing off his dimples. No woman could resist his charms his mates were proof of that. He held out his arm Kagome hesitated which threw him off, no female ever hesitated around him. he cocked his head to the side watching as she looked to the western lord before taking his arm.

They took a turn around about the camp chatting about this and that nothing to important.

"You are a very loyal creäture My Lady, but why do you show such loyalty to the Western Lord?"

"Because he has more than earned my loyalty Lord Kazuo. Why do you ask?"

"How does one earn the loyalty of one such as the Shikon no Miko when he is cold and unfeeling?" she shrugged not comfortable talking about Sesshoumaru and his emotions. Everyone has two sides the side you show everyone and the side you save for private moments. She for one believed Sesshoumaru was capable of great emotion if he let himself.

"Lord Sesshoumaru is one of my friends and has saved my life many times. Why shouldn't I show him loyalty? Besides . . . never mind. How are your mates?"

"They are fine." They continued to speak all the while he smiled at the look on Sesshoumaru face, who was clearly displeased that he was talking to Kagome in such a way.

But he wasn't the only one Inuyasha and Kikyo were also looking at the two across the camp anger. They had plans and nothing was working. Kikyo had tried crossing over through the well a few dozen times since they settled waiting for Sesshoumaru troops to join them. Every time she tried something rejected her and Inuyasha was sure it had something to do with Kagome. Even he with the rosary on couldn't pass over any longer. Now to hear from Sango that Kagome planned to drain the well of its magic was going to put their plans in jeopardy.

They needed her family dead to make Kagome more controllable. Even Sango was in agreement Sesshoumaru had done something to her for her to be acting out like she was. If it was one thing Kikyo and Inuyasha hated was changing their plans and because the bitch was acting up they had to change their plans. It was easy to get Sango on broad with their plans Miroku would hear nothing of it. Though he knew nothing of their true motives he still held his faith in Kagome.

"We have to kill her so I can get my whole soul back Inuyasha"

"We will and with Sango as our second mate we will kill Naraku and get the jewel back. Nothing will stop us"

"We might have to kill that monk as well. Can you do it Sango?" Kikyo whispered turning to Sango.

"Let him die with his precious Kagome. We don't need him anymore. But want that stupid bitch be more powerful after draining the well?"

"We will get those fool to attack the group of them after she's finished. We just a need a small piece of her flesh for the ritual for me to get the rest of my soul back," Kikyo smiled thinking everything would happen just the way she planned. "Once the ritual has started none can stop it. Not even the great and powerful Sesshoumaru"
