Hooola ;P

this is a little idea I got as I watched Turandot with my history class and I couldn't get it out of my mind :P So I hope you´ll enjoy my first Sesskag fic.

(( None of the inuyasha characters are mine, they belong to Rumiko Takahashi))

He had masked himself, having a feeling they wouldn't give the information up so easily. But unfortunately they found him out and refused to tell him anything, not even a clue. So then he went to the woman and counted up any riches every wan could want that she could have if she complied but she said a straight no. Then he went to the monk and brined him with a smirk that he could give him every woman he wanted but before the man even got to answer he was knocked out cold by the Tajijas large boomerang and he had to turn to the kitsune. He tried to lure him into his net with nice words and promises of toys but the young ones loyalty was strong to the Miko, which he got to know was his adoptive mother.

The prince was now getting more desperate as the night fell and the thought of torturing the group to tell him her name, but he dismissed that quickly. He was honorable, so he wpuld not take such actions.

So he did the only thing he could think of.

He went to the Miko herself.

part 4

"Miko, what do you want?"

The ebony haired woman sat on the bed in her hired room as she looked over at the prince which stood by her window, his golden eyes set on her.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?!" He snarled back as he frustrated hit his hand lightly against the wall, making a nice imprint of his fist in the wood. Yeah. He actually did hold back.

A bit.

"What do you want for you to tell your name? A free leave from this place? Money? Jewelry? A titel? Just name it"

The female looked at him with her soft blue eyes, having a expression that clearly told the man he was totally out for the wrong things.

Sesshomaru growled frustrated as he fell to his knees beside her bed, feeling the chains of his vow tighten around him. His head hung slightly as he stared into the floor, his arm resting heavily against the edge of the bed.

"...then what do you want?"

"What I want is not any worldly possession..."

The girl looked softly down on the breaking man before her, her heart clenching slightly in the fact she was the source of his pain.

"What I wish for...is your love"

The figure before her tensed, but he didn't move otherwise and she closed her eyes as she spoke in a soft but yet broken tone.

"Do you dislike me that badly?"

His heart clenched slightly at the tone of her voice and he couldn't find any words to answer.

"Am I not beautiful enough for you? Am I not proper enough? Or is it just my humanity?"

Her eyes were now blank with held back tears, the pain of his rejection finally taking its toll on her.

"Why don't you even give me a chance?"

The young inus eyes widened slightly as the scent of her tears hit him and he lifted his gaze to meet hers.

His amber gaze fell into the misty blue eyes of the female before him and for once he stopped to think of her words. Did he hate her? Did her appearance repel him? Did his soul reject the woman before him as much as he thought?

"Yes..."

He said low as his own eyes softened slightly, still keeping contact with hers.

"You are beautiful...more stunning than any woman I've ever seen."

A slight smile reached his lips by the doubt and slight shock in her face, accompanied by a soft blush that had stained her cheeks as she let out a slight theatrical gasp, like to cover her burning cheeks

"Wow...I must be dreaming. The ice prince just smiled"

He felt a grin threatening to appear on his lips as their edges twitched slightly at her statement and a slight warmth in his chest as he saw the redness reach her skin, a feeling that felt a little alien to him but he liked it. He liked that he made her blush and he couldn't say this newly found feeling wasn't unpleasant either.

He wanted more.

"I have the ability to smile, just like any other living being. I just choose to share them wisely"

A slight smile spread on the woman's lips and her tears seemed to stop as the girl seemed to transform back to the strong woman he had seen before.

After that they started small talking and they talked about many different things. The prince found that he unconsciously opened up to this woman as he even shared his mother's death with her and how his life had turned upside down. How his father had mated another woman just months after she had died and his relationship with his half-brother. He did as well get to know much more about her, like she had grown up in a shrine with her little brother, mother, grandfather and her cat Buyo. Her father had just like his mother been killed in a war and the two of them found that they weren't all alone in the pain they had endured. But as he had closed himself up the Miko had done the opposite and opened herself open wide to the world, giving everything she could to everyone else.

As they kept talking his being stirred slightly and he realized that now when he didn't think of the forced mating, his tragic past nor anything else for that matter, that he was no longer in pain. He wasn't lonely anymore as he sat chatting with this mere human girl.

A girl which had even managed to make his heartbeat quicken with just a single smile.

After a while the night began to come to its end, only about 30minutes remained to the decided hour of the task. But the prince had completely forgotten about it, he was too occupied with these new feelings that had awakened inside him, feelings he hadn't felt since his mother had passed.

"Kagome"

The prince tilted his head slightly at the sudden word, the confusion clear in his usually emotionless face clear as he watched the now quiet woman.

"My name is Kagome"
