Kagome did not want to spend the day with him. Why, why her? That morning, when she got up Naoko announced that Kagome would be spending the day with Sesshomaru. Kagome had thrown a fit and said no way, not after what he did to her. Naoko didn't care; she just rolled her eyes and left the room. Sango fought to get Kagome dressed, and after a while and with help from three other people, she was dressed and ready.
But alas, Sango was tired. Miroku directed Sango and Kagome to the room Sesshomaru was waiting in. Miroku held the door, and Sango pushed Kagome in, shutting the door behind Kagome. Sango ran; she was not staying for this.
"Stupid, no good, why me," Kagome said under her breath while smoothing out the dark red and green dress. She then looked up to see him staring at her, and her anger turned to an uneasy feeling. She stayed still as he began to walk to her. She told herself not to flinch and not to show fear. But when he reached her she stopped breathing. He reached out and slowly moved her hair back, he then rubbed his thumb over the mark he had left with his claws. How funny, the mark he had left on her was on the same spot one would mark a mate. Sesshomaru's eyes stayed on that spot for a moment before pulling back and turning around. He ran his hand through his hair.
"Come, woman."
She didn't say anything; she was in too much shock, so she just did as she was told. Sesshomaru took her outside the castle gates, not something a Lord would do on a courting date. She followed in silence but noticed he was heading for her village. Once they arrived he turned back to her,
"You may do as you wish; we will meet back before dark."
Kagome nodded and watched him walk away,
"Jerk," She said after he was gone, though she didn't know why she said it; she didn't want to spend the day with him anyway. Kagome decided not to go to her mother's; she did not want to get into details or freak her mother out. So, instead, she walked about the town and visited an old friend.
"Kaede?"
"Yes, come in, child." The old woman was happy to see Kagome,
"H!i"
"My child ye do look royal now, don't ye?"
Kagome rolled her eyes; she didn't even want to go there. Kagome stayed awhile; she told Kaede that she had met her sister Kikyo. Kaede often talked of her sister, but Kagome had never met her. Kaede was glad to hear her sister was back, but was hurt she had yet to come and see her. Then Kagome went on to tell her of the other demons of the house,
"I did worry, child, when ye mother said ye were going to the castle."
"Don't worry, I not using my power; I've kept it masked this long, I won't slip up, oh, and dont tell Mom I was here; she would just worry."
Kagome smiled and looked out the window. "It's getting dark; I have to go."
"Ye be safe, child."
Kagome bowed and left the hut; it was later than she had thought; she had a feeling he was going to be mad, but owell. The town was clear, most people had gone home by now, but this was not the first time she had walked around this late, but it was the first time she had done it alone. Kagome got close to where he had left her, she would have to enter the woods.
"He could have least come into view." She said as she began to walk to the trees. As soon as she entered, someone grabbed her, one hand covering her mouth and another around her waist. She tried to scream, but it was no use, then another male came into view.
"Arnt you pretty!"
Kagome fought, but the other man had her good,
"Nice clothes; I think I will take them." He then looked her up and down. "I think I might take you as well."
Kagome's eyes got wide as she got what the man meant. She was mad now; where was that stupid demon Lord? Kagome kicked and tried again to scream; she was not about to use her powers yet, but, she would if she had to. The man holding her let go of her hip and then grabbed the front of her dress, then he tore it, showing her breast to the man in front of her.
"You ruined the dress," The man then laughed.
Kagome was on the edge; she felt it rising. Then, as the man began to lift her dress he found himself flying through the air. Kagome found herself being thrown and caught. She grabbed onto whatever it was.
"Aw, where are you going- The man was trying to get up, and when he looked back he stopped talking.
"She's going with me."
Kagome looked up; the thing she was slung to and the thing she was holding onto was Sesshomaru. The man who had been holding her ran, but the man who was trying to feel her grabbed his sword and ran after the two. Sesshomaru took his head clean off, and Kagome hid her face in his chest. The man's blood was all over Sesshomaru's sword and hand, along with her back.
Sesshomaru looked down, her naked chest was pressed up against him, and she looked to be in shock, shivering.
"Woman."
Kagome looked up,
"Are you well?"
Kagome nodded; she was too shocked to talk. Sesshomaru placed his sword back and then picked Kagome up. He could tell by her smell that she was in shock, though she was not crying. Kagome placed her hand around his neck and turned her body to him so that her chest was facing his; that way, no one else could see her.
Guards hurried and let Sesshomaru in. He passed Leiko, who looked like she was ready to kill. Naoko had a bored but shocked look on her face, and Kioko smiled, that was till she smelt blood. She began to follow.
Inu Tashio walked quickly up to his son "You were not supposed to leave; what happened?" But Sesshomaru walked right past him, Inu Tashio placed his hand out, stopping Kioko. Both she and the Lord watched as Sesshomaru opened Kagome's door and slammed it shut. A few seconds later, Miroku and Sango came running out.
Sesshomaru sat her on her feet, but she still clung to him. "You will see me,"
"I have already seen woman,"
Kagome blushed; this was just great. Kagome let go and turned around quickly,
"You need a bath; you smell of blood," Sesshomaru stated,
"I would not smell like this had you been there in the first place," She said calmly, taking a deep breath,
"I was the one on time, not you."
"Get out," She said, now getting angry,
"Be thankful I did as I did, woman least you smell far worse than another man's blood,"
Kagome's face went red at the mere thought! How dare he say that so coldly!
"Get, out, you stupid jerk!" She just wanted him to go away. "I didn't want to go with you anyway!"
She then felt herself being turned; he was holding her by the upper arm. "Woman," he growled. Kagome's eyes cut away from him; she refused to look at him. She covered her chest with her free arm, not that he was really paying attention. His eyes were on the marks he left on her. Kagome glanced at him when he went silent, and she knew just what he was looking at; something flashed, and she moved her head to the side and closed her eyes.
She could have sworn she felt his fangs on her neck, but his hand was gone from her arm, so it must have been his claws.
"Who told you to do that?"
"Do, what?" She asked quietly, opening her eyes.
"To do as you just did."
"Kioko," She whispered,
"You would submit to me, woman?" He asked deeply as he pulled his hand away; they looked at each other.
"No," She answered normally,
Sesshomaru's eyes drifted down at her chest; he then turned and walked out of the room. He would now have to deal with his father; five more days and the woman would be gone, he had to keep telling himself that.
Kagome stared at the door; she never thought he would save her, even though it was his fault she needed saving.
