I don't own Inuyasha; I'm broke so go figure!

A/N: Hello! I could not get this idea off of my head, so here it is. It is a kag/sess pairing. I'm not completely sure where I want this story to go but I have some thoughts, so the story line is subject is subject to change (not too much though). Anyway if you like I will continue… as always I would like to know what you think… If it sucks I'll just delete it! Nothing lost. OH! I'm pretty sure the flea's name is spelled wrong! I didn't feel like looking it up.

Chapter One

Deadly Blue eyed beauty revealed!

Inu Taisho sat in his study quietly waiting for his guest to arrive. He was also thinking; disturbed by the fact that his troubles has led to 'this meeting'. Suddenly he was pulled from his thoughts by a knock on the door. "You may enter." He announced.

Sesshomaru slowly entered his fathers study and bowed deeply. Though he looked only twenty five, he is actually around four hundred in age. His tone was cold as he spoke. "Father, Jaken has informed me that you would like me to attend this meeting with your guest today. Why?"

He sighed deeply and turned to his elder son, who one could easily mistake for his twin. Inu Taisho knew Sesshomaru felt no love-loss between them, but he did love his son. "He has informed you that this meeting is with humans then?"

Sesshomaru gave a curt nod. "I have no need to witness this event."

"Not so." Inu Taisho answered. "You will be Lord of this land one day with demon and human subjects alike. You need to learn to deal with both." He knew his son is known for his hatred of humans and ruthlessness.

Sesshomaru glared at his father; he already knew what assumptions the old man had drawn up in his head and that was fine with him. However, there are reasons he was protesting his being at 'this' particular meeting. "Come to whatever conclusions you want to, father, about my leadership; but I will not be present at the meeting. I do not need to hear you beg for the homeland of your human whore."

That struck a HUGE nerve in the Lord. "Silence, lest you lose your tongue!" Inu Taisho shouted! "Never talk about the dead that way! She was my mate and your step-mother, who cared for you deeply. Not to mention she bore me a second son! Do not speak ill of her!" He was interrupted once again with another knock to the door. "ENTER!" He roared.

Jaken carefully entered the room and looked upon his master and his father. "Myoga, has informed me of the guest arrival, but is busy at the moment. What would you like me to do milord?"

Inu Taisho eyed his son's retainer, the little green imp, carefully. 'His' retainer, is no doubt, busy trying to keep his other son out of trouble. "Bring them to me." He turned to Sesshomaru. "Have a seat, you need to meet the only humans to ever meet me in battle and come out alive."

That caught Sesshomaru's interest. Calmly, he walked over to the far corner of the large room and had a seat. He wanted to know what was so 'special' about this person.

…………

"This way Human." Jaken spat. He was more that unnerved by the man's calm demeanor. All of them were acting strange in his opinion; not one of them got upset by his rube comments. Jaken opened the double doors to the study and announced the guest. "Lord Jin Higurashi and Family, Milord."

Inu Taisho was a bit surprised that the man would bring his family in the place of a retainer or councilman. Then he took a moment to assess the man and his family for the fist time. The man and both the children had exotic blue eyes. Power was rolling off the man and one of the children, but he couldn't tell if it is the little boy or girl. The woman was strong, but not like her husband. He let their scents filter through his nose, and his eye brow arched; he wondered why he never noticed this on the battle field.

Jin noticed the odd look on the Lord's face, and figured that he figured out what not many knew. "Lord Taisho, you have discovered that neither I nor my children are completely human?" Jin suggested as if reading the Lord's mind.

He looked into Lord Higurashi's haunting blue eyes and nodded. There was one more question on his mind, but he refused to ask it. He wanted to know what child had the power; for they maybe his next opponent. "Indeed, please introduce me to your family before we begin." Inu Taisho requested.

Jin motioned for his family to step closer. "Of course, this is my wife Sakura; master archer from the demon exterminator village in the northern region. This is my son Sota; he is four years old." Then he motioned for his girl to come closer. "This is Kagome; she is ten."

Sesshomaru sat in the corner looking at the mysterious family. He too felt the power coming off the father and a child, but which child?

That was a question for next time. Suddenly the little boy stated crying and the children was led out of the room by their mother, Sakura.

Inu Taisho turned to the young Lord after his family walked out. "That girl of yours has promise, and neither one of my sons have a mate." Sesshomaru was now growling in the background, but that did not stop the old man's current train of thought for the future.

"Sorry but I will not bargain my daughter's future happiness for anyone; not even for the land that I protect." Jin answered. "Now can we get to the reason you asked me here, though, I have a feeling I know why."

"Very well. Two years ago you can imagine how shocked I was to find my human mate's old village in proper working order with a new land Lord. Shocking still was the fact that they people of the small region wanted noting to do with me or the memory of their former princess." Inu Taisho said in a low tone. "I want that her homeland under the western banner; it is my right to claim so." He informed.

"I'm well aware of the story, Lord Taisho, but you merely purchased the princess from the Tyrant; her father, nearly two centuries ago." Lord Higurashi countered. "All her ties to that land were severed when you bought the Lady. Afterward, the tyrant became worse and the people came to my family for help. We have been the land's protectors for over since that time. Of course, I know there is more than one reason why you would like the land."

"Indeed. You're answer is no?" Inu Taisho asked.

"Yes." Jin bowed deeply and left the room, the castle, and then the Western Lands. He has a long war to prepare for.

sssssssss

Eight years went by. Lord Jin Higurashi was relieved that war did not start right away, but it did start; meaning he had to teach his heir, Kagome, everything in between battles. The land they inhabit is now called the Central Lands and it is sought after by many.

Tragedy also managed to strike his family. His twin Brother's homeland to the South was destroyed; everyone killed; except for his brother's oldest child, Sango. They continued raising Sango as if she was their own.

Lord Higurashi was starting to feel a bit tired. He had to used an unusual amount of power and skill to defend his land and people these many years; he feared also that as a result his time may be cut short. He stared out of the window of his war room. Tonight is going to be a moonless night; no doubt Kagome and her cousin, well 'sister' as Kagome calls her, Sango will go spying on the enemy.

sssssssss

"STOP!" Yelled one Guard

"HALT!" Yelled another Sentinel

"Lord Sesshomaru, Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken burst into Sesshomaru tent with what he thought was disturbing but good news.

Sesshomaru planted his foot in the imp's face; he was annoyed to no end that he would just come into his place of dwelling. "What Jaken." He asked in a bored tone.

"The Guards have tracked down a spy at the edge of camp Milord. But it seems as if they may get away once again."

"Incompetent!" Then Sesshomaru's lips turned up into a wicked half smile as headed toward the commotion.

……………

"Don't come any nearer!" Kagome warned the two Sentinels.

Both the guards looked at each other in confusion. Did the girl just tell 'them' to stop?

Kagome saw her chance to get by and took it. Grabbing the dagger strapped to her thigh, she flung it one guard and tackled the other. Once Kagome was back on her feet, she quickly sprinted into the near by clearing where she was stopped.

Sesshomaru watched from the tree tops as a slip of a woman easily took down two of his best Sentinels. He didn't know whether to be amused or appalled, but he did know that the girl would not get away from him alive. He easily anticipated the woman's movements and met her in the small clearing. "Halt human." Two more men joined him.

Kagome closed her eyes and smiled. "Lord Sesshomaru." She whispered. "Move or be moved." Kagome commanded in a serious tone. This was not the plan, meeting him, but she could manage.

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the woman. She certainly has nerve, he thought dryly.

"Is this a Joke?" One of the Sentinels asked.

"Of course not!" Kagome answered cheerily; catching all three men off guard while she unsheathed her sword. Suddenly her eyes snapped open as she called upon her powers. Kagome's voice seemed to echo with power as blue flames of energy cashed down on the men. Kagome immediately spun around and headed back up the path she just left. The only problem was that it led to a cliff.

Sesshomaru had enough foresight to move out of the way of the attack, but found it was not necessary. The woman was not trying to wound him. He also noticed her blue eyes, and tucked that information away for later. Right now the little bitch was running away again!

While running, Kagome took out her last dagger and sliced open her palm. She made sure to coat it with her unusually thick blood and threw it down to the ground. Kagome could feel Sesshomaru gaining on her, so she hauled ass.

He had her cornered. Slowly Sesshomaru approached the woman. "Who are you, Wench!"

Kagome backed up a little while smiling at him sweetly, again. "I'm surprised you don't know Sesshomaru." Kagome decided to drop his title for now.

"Don't try my patients!" Sesshomaru bellowed; his eye twitched a bit by the lack of formality. He started to stalk closer to her but stopped when he noticed another presence in the sky. Looking up he spotted another woman riding a transformed fire feline. Sesshomaru then looked at the woman in front of him again; taking in her form for the first time for later reference. She was petite but not lacking in curves (he could tell by looking at her outfit); she had solid, long raven colored hair, and she was not hard on the eyes with her sharp facial features and exotic blue eyes.

Sango looked down at her cousin with worried eyes. "Kagome!" She wanted to let Kagome know that she was there. She and Kagome locked eyes for a moment in a silent plan. Sango gave Kagome a reassuring nod and disappeared.

Kagome, Sesshomaru thought. That name sounded so familiar to him. "You, Girl, will come with me. I have questions." Sesshomaru demanded.

"How demanding, but no thank you. I am no one's hostage." Kagome turned started anew her run up the cliff.

That is it. If that little Bitch thought she could escape him, she was sadly mistaken. Sesshomaru's blood started to boil as chased her.

He was a too close for comfort this time. When Kagome reached her meeting place at the top of the cliff, she turned to face Sesshomaru once more and drew her sword. Again, she yelled the next attack. A burst of raw, pure energy was hurled from the sword.

Sesshomaru saw the attack coming, but found he could not move. When the attack hit he was thrown several feet back, and he noticed his shirt was gone. He also felt dizzy. Sesshomaru came to just in time to see Kagome wave and jump over the cliff. The chase was not over. Sesshomaru started to take off but noticed a dagger with the girl's blood on it embedded in the ground, he picked it up, and took off after the woman. That dagger could be used as evidence later. As he neared the edge of the cliff; Kagome, the other female emerged from the bottom riding the feline. Sesshomaru quickly accessed his situation when he noticed Kagome now had a notched bow and arrow that were glowing pale blue. Without hesitation he took to the sky as well; intuition telling him what that glow meant.

Kagome shot two sacred arrows into the demon army's camp. Those who could not fly or run fast enough were purified on contact. Afterward she and Sango returned to city.

sssssssss

Three days later Sesshomaru reached his father's camp that was located a few miles just out side the main city. Even from miles away he could see the green dome like barrier over the city his father told him about. Yes, they had a lot to catch up on once he made it to the camp.

Inu Taisho was sitting down at his make-shift desk in his make-shift camp rubbing his temples, when his retainer hopped in.

"My Lord, your elder son has arrived; but I have terrible news." Myoga informed.

He looked down at the small flea standing on his desk. "Yes."

"He has arrived well, but with only a third of the reinforcements he started with." Myoga explained.

"It was 'That Girl' wasn't it?" Inu Taisho shook his head. "No need to confirm. I know it was 'her' who else? Lord Higurashi does not operate that way." He sighed. "Sesshomaru will want answers that I cannot give him."

Not four hours after Myoga, Sesshomaru arrived at his father's private dwelling. He entered quietly and awaited his father's response.

"I see that you, at least, made it here alive, boy." Inu Taisho teased; not bothering to look up at his angry son. "I was informed that you lost two thirds of your men three days ago."

Sesshomaru gritted his teeth. Yes, he severely underestimated an opponent; and a woman at that. The old man did not have to rub his nose in it. "If you have something to say, Father, then say it. I am not some young pup who can't handle the truth."

He shook his head. "No. I have nothing to say. I had the same thing not one week before you arrived." Inu Taisho informed his son. "Now go and take some rest. When you have had enough time to recover we will plan out our strategy."

…………

After leaving his father's tent, Sesshomaru quietly slipped into his own. The stress of the day finally took its toll and he slipped into a light sleep.

Later that same night, Sesshomaru awoke to the ringing of bells. "What th…!" He sat up quickly and attempted to analyze the situation. Suddenly Jaken ran through his tent entrance.

"Milord!" Jaken bellowed. "The camp is under attack!"

Sesshomaru quickly got on his feet and ran out of the door.

…………

Just a bit before dawn, Toga sat quietly at his desk waiting for Sesshomaru to get up when the camp warning bell started to ring. He should have expected this… seeing as this has been the pattern of attack for the past month, but he didn't. In fact, at this point, he is not sure if Jin is actually his opponent this time. The man is fairly straight forward and direct in his attacks, so Toga knew that this was not his doing.

Quickly jumping to his feet, Toga ran outside into total chaos. Immediately Toga started barking orders. To his amazement, try as they might, the soldiers could not perform a single order. Suddenly Sesshomaru appeared by his side and together they caught the first sight of their enemy.

…………

As Kagome ran from tent to tent creating havoc, she never noticed that she also had an audience. "Sango! Come on!" Though they stated at this side of the camp, their true goal is the soldier's barracks. "We caused enough trouble here!"

"Okay!" Sango replied and kept running. Suddenly a blur of white caught her sharp eyes. "Kagome! Watch out!"

Without looking back, Kagome quickly changed directions with Sango hot on her heels. She could clearly see Sesshomaru ominously standing in her path. They dashed though another tent and started to make their way from that camp. "Sango! Come on!" Kagome yelled again as she made a hard left. "Sesshomaru is still chasing us." The fool, she thought. He carried around her bloody knife around not know its affects; now he would be somewhat drained of his power. Still…. he is faster and they needed distance; it would take them a minute before they would reach Lord Taisho's largest barracks.

…………

The moment Sesshomaru saw the women; he almost went into a fit of rage. First they destroyed his camp and now they are attacking his father's army head on? Sesshomaru took off. Neither of the women would live to see noon this day.

After minutes of running Sesshomaru could tell he was gaining on the women, but not fast enough. He felt sluggish. "Bitch!" He roared. He tried to summon his demon energy, for confirmation, and found them to be at half the maximum. She must have done something to him earlier, but what? The little bitch drained him. He picked up speed with his new found anger.

Kagome spared a glance back, and found Sesshomaru was hot on their tails. "Sango!" Kagome called. "Go ahead and clear a path to the middle of the barracks. I have to stop and slow him down." Kagome motioned behind her.

"Okay, see you in the middle!" Sango replied as she continued her run down hill.

For the first time in his life, he was totally blinded by anger. So much so, that Sesshomaru failed to see Kagome headed straight for him.

Instead of stopping, Kagome rounded her position and ran straight for Sesshomaru. He was so caught up in thought, he just blocked her attack.
