nipi-Thanks for the suggestion! I really hadn't thought about it that much. I'll think about that.

And now, enjoy!

Chapter 13

By the time Sesshomaru and Kagome got to their seats, the show had already started. Sesshomaru made sure that Kagome was seated comfortably before he left.

"Kagome, I apologize, but there is something that I must take care of. I will be back shortly."

"That's alright! I'll just watch the show." Kagome gave him a quick kiss and turned back to the performance.

I'm sorry, my dear. I will be back soon. I only need to take care of Mikonko. With that, Sesshomaru was gone.

Kagome soon lost interest in the performance, so she turned her attention to the people sitting down below her. Looking down, she realized that everyone was watching her. She could hear them whispering about Sesshomaru's mysterious human mate. Just when she got sick of listening to them whispering about her, there came a knock at the door. Getting up, she quickly opened the door to find a letter on the ground.

Kagome,

Meet me in the garden.

Sesshomaru

Stepping out of the room, she quickly found a servant roaming the halls.

"Excuse me, where might I find the garden?"

"Oh, it's down the hall, turn left, and it's the second door on the right."

"Thank you!"

"No problem, miss!"

Kagome ran down the hall and entered the door. The garden was dark. Sensing someone behind her, she spoke to who she thought it was.

"Sesshomaru? What is it?" When she got no answer, she got worried. "Sesshomaru? Why won't you say anything?"

The person grabbed her arms, pushing her against the far wall. Kagome was about to scream when she felt something rough and wet press against her mouth. By now, of course she had figured out that of course this wasn't Sesshomaru.

Her assailant paused for a breath. "I cannot let that scum have you. You, my angel, will be mine!"

"Mikonko? Get away from me! Sesshomaru!" Again, her mouth was covered with his. That was when her clothes started to disappear. When she got to the point that she was completely naked, she lost it. "Get off of me! NOW!" Kagome's eyes glowed blue and a forcefield, crackling like electricity blazed in between them, sending her assailant flying.

Sesshomaru POV

Just as I was about to get back to my balcony, I heard screaming coming from the garden. What was disturbing was who sounded like they were screaming. Kagome!

I ran in, slicing the door to shreds. The scene before me angered me like no other. My Kagome was being kissed and undressed by that foul creature! As I was about to interfere, Kagome screamed, pushing Mikonko off her with a blue forcefield.

Kagome POV

As soon as he was off me, I tried to relax, but I found that I couldn't. Despite how I thought I was feeling, I was just getting more and more angry. My power was getting out of control. My barrier was turning black, randomly striking at everything. There was already a gaping hole in the ceiling. Feeling eyes on me, I turned to angrily glare at the creature just outside the barrier.

"Hello miko. How is the miko faring? Baldock has come to visit again. Miko probably doesn't remember Baldock. Baldock made miko scream in the old woman's hut."

Remembering what had happened, Kagome started to go crazy.

"It's your fault! It's all your fault I'm like this!" She made a move to kill him.

"Miko should be careful! If miko gets too mad and out of control, then the poison will change miko to a demon and kill miko. That poison cannot kill mere humans, so it turns humans to demons, but strikes them down soon after the transformation." Baldock laughed maniacally.

Sesshomaru POV

When the creature drew Kagome's attention, I crept closer to listen. When I heard this, I became angry, but not as angry as Kagome. She was my first priority. Before she could do anything else, I called her name.

Kagome POV

Her anger getting away from her, Kagome lost all control. Her power exploded around her. Just as she was sinking into darkness, she heard a voice call her name, a light in the darkness. Sesshomaru... After her last thought, she passed out, using the rest of her energy to get her power under control.
