Lol, I realized the ending of the last chapter was a tad Cinderella-esque haha! I hope you guys liked the intro of Sesshomaru's character!

Also, I just wanna throw out there, don't assume demons are a fully known thing! ;0

hope you like this chapter! ^^ things will slowly be picking up more from here! Sadly I went down in reading level after checking word count ;^; but I hope you like it never the less!

I do not own InuYasha and enjoy!

By his second run in with the intern that had set his brain off in a tizzy, (something he would never admit) He was able to take better notice and truly soak in the image of the female.

His second time meeting her ended up with him inadvertently saving her from a nasty fall that surly would have had her hitting the ground hard. They were at an awkward angle and had them in a tangle of limbs, but in that split second, in that moment he could only think about how warm she was, and how her scent was so very strong in his nose.

As he righted himself and her, making sure that she was free from possible harm, he gave her a questioning brow, saying nothing.

Kagome's face was flushed and she felt frazzled, looking up at his face a touch of recognition shot through her eyes before a shy and embarrassed smile settled on her face. "I believe that's twice now you've saved me.." she said softly, eyes touching the ground before looking up once more, a more bolder smile appearing on her face.

"Thank you!" She said with sincerity, to which Sesshomaru gave a nod of his head in reply. His mind still trying to categorize and decipher her actions.

She gave a small laugh, "Not much for words I see!" she grinned a bit more at ease, "Well that's okay! I must be on my way, anyway! Thank you once again!" she rattled off before shuffling off quite quickly.

He may have stood there a moment longer than necessary before shaking himself out of it and heading back to his office.

After meeting her once more, he was able to see just how pretty she was. She was an adorably small thing (another thing he would never admit to himself, let alone to anyone else!) She was cute in a charming way. He didn't know if he could, or even would call her beautiful.

But the light that had shone from her eyes, and how a simple thank you from her was able to put him in a daze, left him confused and mildly scared. He had never been left in a daze by a female before, unless you could count his mother...

but that was a different story and for a entirely DIFFERENT reason to boot...

After running into her here and there several more times, most which was him helping her again in some way. He found that he was always offering his help or advice almost subconsciously, and without fully realizing what he was doing.

What was happening to him...?
