Pt.2

To say that Kagome wasn't scared would have been an outright lie. To say that Kagome was simply scared would have been an extreme understatement. However, to say that Kagome was not merely scared, but also royally pissed beyond all that was sane, now that, was accurate.

Why was Kagome pissed? Well, one might consider the fact that she had just been kidnapped by a demon lord. One might also take into account that he had forced a kiss on her, in front of Inuyasha. On purpose.

While she had to admit that the kiss wasn't half-bad, there was still the fact that he had forced it on her.

Which she did not approve of in the least. Though she assumed it defeated the purpose of him forcing her into the kiss if she had approved of it. Whatever, she still hadn't liked it.

Kagome sat quietly in the cradle of Sesshoumaru's arm as they continued on towards their destination. Why quietly? Because every single word that came out of her mouth was completely ignored by the demon lord. Where are we going? Silence. What are you doing? Silence. Why wont you answer me? Silence.

It was infuriating. The moment they landed—whenever that may be—she opted to give him a piece of her mind. He couldn't fly forever, right?

Kagome was brought sharply back into consciousness as she felt herself lose the rock-steady support of Sesshoumaru's arm. She let out a soft cry as she hit the ground beneath her. However, instead of the cold hard ground she was expecting, she was shocked to find that the surface was soft. As confusion raced through her mind, Kagome took that moment to gather her surroundings.

First off, they were definitely not outside anymore. Secondly, the room she was in was almost as large as a typical villager's house. And third of all, she was lying on a bed.

Kagome bolted up into a sitting position on the soft surface to face a blank-faced Sesshoumaru. "Where are we?"

"When the matter concerns you, you will be notified." Was his stoic reply.

Kagome's cheeks burned red. "When the matter concerns me? How does where I am not concern me? It's me!"

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed as he took a threatening step forward. "I am aware of who you are, woman. And you would do well to respect me."

"Oh, respect, is it?" Kagome rose to her feet directly in front of him. She still had to raise her head to stare him square in the eyes, but at least it wasn't as hard now. "And why exactly am I supposed to respect you, when you've just kidnapped me?"

The Western Lord's eyebrow twitched. "Woman—"

"And don't you even start with that! I have a name, and it's not woman, wench, priestess, or any thing else you've called me in the past! It's Kagome! Ka-go—"

And in that moment, all air was blocked from her throat. Sesshoumaru's hand had acquainted itself with her neck, and was threatening to crush her wind-pipe. Kagome attempted to gasp for air as she was lifted off of her feet and thrown onto the bed behind her. Before she could even regain her breath, Sesshoumaru was upon her, pinning her diminutive form thoroughly with one had binding her wrists above her head, and his body sitting lightly, yet firmly, upon her abdomen. Even if she could have spoken, she was much too shocked to do so now.

Sesshoumaru's frozen voice broke the silence. "I grow weary of your perpetual tongue, woman, and whether or not you agree with me on a subject does not give you the right to argue about it. In this domain, my word is law. And while you remain here, you will give me the proper respect the lord of this estate deserves."

His amber eyes bore down deep within her, causing her breath to catch. As she attempted to struggle out from under him, he applied more of his weight, leaving no room for movement. Kagome froze, staring into his golden gaze. There, in that moment, she saw what she had never seen before. There was something new there, something almost like desperation. Need. And it frightened her.

As Sesshoumaru lowered his face towards hers, his long, silver hair fell around them. He was so close now, that his cheek almost brushed her own. She could feel his warm breath against her ear, hear his even breathing, his sharp intake of oxygen.

"Your scent is intoxicating." He whispered, burrowing his face at the side of her neck.

Kagome couldn't help but let out a soft whimper as he slowly released her arms, and brought his hand down to smooth out her dark, ebony hair. Kagome's eyes widened as his voice gently tickled her ear again.

And then he was gone. Disappeared.

Kagome sat up and brought her knees to her chest, wrapped her arms tightly around them, and laid her head down upon them. She wasn't sure where she was, or how long she would be there. But she did know one thing.

Once thing raced through her mind as she replayed the words spoken to her by the demon lord. If Sesshoumaru had anything to say about it, she wouldn't be leaving at all. Ever.

His soft, warm words came back to her before she finally drifted back off into oblivion.

"I have a proposition for you, Kagome. Remain here, in my home, for one month. After that, if you desire to leave, I will not stop you. However," His lips rested gently upon her ear. "Regardless of your choice you must remember one thing. You are, and forever will be, mine."
