A/N: i don't own Inuyasha

Kagome's POV

'That was a bad idea, what was I thinking? I just purified Sesshomaru's so-called favorite concubine by punching her in the face. I'm such a stupid person!.' I am freaking out, because honestly, that'd been a stupid move.

Now the concubine lies on the floor in front of me, and here I am, not a hair out of place. 'This is all Sesshomaru's fault! Who kidnaps someone and then locks them up for no reason? Only an arrogant dog demon like him!.' The more I think about my situation, the angrier I get. How dare Sesshomaru kidnap me like this! I am not his to order around, he hasn't even given me a job to do while I'm held captive. 'Talk about poor hospitality skills.'

I think it's time I gave Sesshomaru a piece of my mind.

Sesshomaru's POV

"Once you have a woman in your life, you will understand. You will see the world in a whole new light, and not only will you fight better, you will be able to lead the people of the
West in a more efficient manner."

"Ever the romantic, father? This Sesshomaru is the most feared demon, and my people have never been happier. This Sesshomaru does not need a woman to improve what is already perfection." I growl out. This old man has been pestering me for over fifty years to, finally settle down and give the land powerful pups, which only means that he wants grandpups. I come to the gardens to have peace, not be pestered like this.

"Your young miko is the perfect example! She is strong willed, beautiful, loyal, and powerful – she was even brash enough to steal your horse and escape from you despite your orders. She would be the ideal candidate to give me grandpuppies," he gushes, and it is disgusting.

I remember when he is the most feared being in the land, and then he falls in love twice. Once with an equally powerful and dangerous female youkai, and then again with a human—one who makes him soft, and nearly gets him killed. Luckily, he defeats the demon who tries killing him and his human. But what happens after that? She died of sickness anyway, and her death sends my father into a downward spiral until he becomes obsessed with my lack of mate.

Now, he is a soft old demon who pesters after his oldest for a child.

"That human is a nuisance. She is incapable of following simple orders, she is ungrateful of the room she has been given, and is a thief for stealing this Sesshomaru's horse. She would make a horrible mate to anyone." I sneer in his face. His golden eyes flash red and he opens his mouth to speak, but before he could, he is cut off by the very nuisance we're talking about.

"Yes, because I want to be held against my will by someone who despises my very existence." Both my father and I turn our heads to the human who is storming over to us. Her lips pulled downward in a deep frown. She keeps marching until she stands between my father and me. Her head barely touched my shoulders so she has to look up at me, and when she does—I see nothing but anger in her eyes.

It brings improper things to my mind, yet I gaze into her eyes, completely unfazed by her abrupt entrance. "Why are you out here instead of staying in your room?" I ask.

"My room? You mean my fancy cell block? Why am I here, Sesshomaru? You once told me that I was to be your personal servant yet you've never given me any work. So, let me ask again, why am I here?" She demands.

"First, this Sesshomaru did not call you his personal servant, I said personal assistant. Second, you are here because you disobeyed this Sesshomaru. Every action has a consequence—this is yours. And as for your lack of work, you will report to my office everyday at dawn for your assignment. Satisfied?" There, I can be nice to a human.

"No, I am not satisfied! How can I disobey you if I wasn't given an order? And who are you to even think you could give me an order? You don't have that authority. Besides—dawn? Seriously?" She yells, she is so angry that by the end of her rant she is panting like a dog. Her normally pale face flushes a bright red, her eyes are bright with defiance and anger, and her hair have fallen out of its bun, curling wildly around her shoulders. The human looks…less disgusting.

"This Sesshomaru is lord of the Western lands, therefore I have more than enough authority to give you an order. And yes, dawn, you will be on time every day. No exceptions," I growl. This conversation is reminding me why I do not like humans. Too incompetent.

"And how long is every day? When will you let me go?" she asks.

"When I 'let you go'? You aren't going to make another foolish attempt to run away?" I mock—yes it's wrong of me to mock someone—let alone a human. But what's done is done.

"No. I will not run away—again." She sneers.

"Well, seeing how you are so cooperative. I will tell you when I let you go." I oblige.

"And when you do plan on letting me go?" she eagerly asks.

"When I tire of you." It takes a vast amount of self control to keep myself from grinning at the shock clearly written on her face. And from shock, her face slowly morphs into anger.

"Ass!"

"Annoyance."

"Egg head!"

"Human."

She scoffs. "You say that like it's a bad thing."

"In this case—it is." I reply, and hold my breath, waiting to see her reaction.

"Y-You arrogant, self-centered, pompous dog!" She yells as she pushes me. I, of course, didn't move an inch. However, I notice how close she is to me now. The front of her kimono grazes the front of my battle gear and that combines with her searing touch when she pushes me. The improper thoughts double to the point where it starts doing improper things to my body.

"You asked me a question—it is not This Sesshomaru's fault, nor is it my concern that you do not approve. Your blatant disrespect for you elders show clearly and you are lucky to be in my presence rather than in the slave quarters—be grateful human. Now leave," I growl, she is on my last nerve, and the fact that a human is causing such drastic effects to my body is more than enough reason to keep her away from me.

"Yes, my lord. I will see you tomorrow." She slowly bows her head, and when she raises her eyes to meet mine—I don't see acceptance, or hatred—nor do I see anger. I see mischief, and something tells me that I have entered a battle with this human.
