Kagome awoke that night with a massive head ach making her entire body hurt. She pulled her hands up to her face and rubbed her eyes then her face. She sat up and stretched her arms up into the air letting out a soft yawn. She blinked her eyes trying to get her vision back to normal from its blurry state. When she had her eye sight back to normal she looked around and noticed she was in Kaede's hut alone.

Kagome was confused and curious as to where Kaede and Inuyasha were so she stood up and walked outside of Kaede's, only to be greeted with everyone staring at her. But only three sets of eyes held her attention.

The first set being a set of black eyes belonging to Kaede. The next a set of golden eyes holding so much emotion that belonged to Inuyasha. And the third, being yet another set of golden eyes belonging to him.

Kagome didn't know why, but this strange man seemed so familiar to her. She studied his features and noticed he wasn't just any man, but a demon man. She stayed studying his features, unaware that she had been, indeed, staring at him since she walked out.

"Good-morning Kagome, it is a pleasure to see you again!"

Kagome looked from his face to his eyes. Her eyes kept turning from lavender to violet within seconds never stopping its change.

Kagome didn't know why she felt what she felt but the words she spoke held back no tone of her feelings towards the man she was starring at.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" Kagome stood her ground even after the demon man had given her an expression crossed between anger, disappointed, and confusion.

"I don't see how you do not remember me Kagome. Seen as how it was just fifty years ago when we last saw one another."

Kagome didn't know what he was saying and her next words sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

"Look here demon. I do not know of what you speak. I am not fifty years old, I am eighteen. There is no way I could be fifty years old and look like a young adult. Do I make myself clear? So whatever business you have with me it is going to have to wait for some other day until I seek you out, you are forbidden to be in my presence."

Kagome sent the demon a penetrating glare that pierced into his soul making his inner demon laugh but making him angry.

Before Kagome knew what had happed, she was slammed into a tree with his hands clenching around her throat. Her back had a stinging pain that ran up her spine, but she did not let it be known. Although, Inuyasha and this demon had both known she had been wounded, for they had smelled her blood, and heard it drip as it hit the ground beneath her.

Kagome looked at him in the eyes with her eyes holding no emotion. Her feet dangled off the ground as the demon kept her pinned to the tree.

His grip tightened on her throat as she put one of her own hands on the one he was holding her with. Her instincts told her to purify him where he stood, but her heart and soul spoke differently.

The demon man leaned into her, pressing his body to hers before he whispered in her ear.

"You have not changed one bit since we last spoken. You're still the spiteful, ignorant, hard-headed girl you once were. Your mother would be disappointed in you, but your father on the other hand. Well he would be pleased you haven't changed. Tell me, Kagome. Where did you run off to?"

Curiosity laced the last question he had for her. But Kagome didn't know what he meant by where she ran off to. She didn't run off to anywhere, but she was about to.

With a quick movement that was unmanageable to a human being, she had grabbed the demon mans hand that was gripping her throat, and pride it from her. She kept a hold of his hand and ran around him with speed like no other. After she was behind him with his twisted arm as well, she pushed him into the tree she was just trapped to only seconds ago.

The man let out a small grunt that only she and he could hear.

"You will regret doing that, Kagome!" The demons tone wasn't harsh but wasn't merciful either.

"Oh really, and why is that?" Kagome said through clenched teeth.

"Because no one lays their hands on this Sesshomaru and lives to tell."


Sorry it is such a short chapter but I didn't want to say to much and not leave a cliff hanger lol. But are you suprised Sesshomaru knows Kagome? Wonder why. Well R&R. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. I might update more than one next time. I'm still debating on it though.
