Rain poured down as a young girl ran through the forest, her clothes dripped wet from the rain. Her tears looked as if they weren't there, they looked as if they were part of the rain. She couldn't believe what she saw. Inu Yasha and Kikyo were together…doing things she didn't want to see until she was married.
'Inu Yasha, how could you? Why would you do such a thing with that died clay pot. Why would you want something died when you could have someone alive,' cried Kagome. She fell to the ground and cried her eyes out. She felt as if someone had to cry for him since no one else would. That night Kagome fell asleep in the rain.
Sesshomaru could smell salt in the air as he opened his balcony door. He had smelt that salt before, he remembers smelling it just a few day's ago. He could tell that the smell was coming from his territory, the Western Land. He jumped from his balcony and followed the scent. He reached a clearing but didn't see anything. He followed the scent a little more to his right when he saw a body lying on the ground.
When he saw that the body belongs to he wondered why the girl wasn't with his brother. He then noticed that she was soaked from head to toe from the rain. He decided to pick up Kagome and take her back to the Western Castle. Rin was having a lot of mood swings lately and so he decided to let Kagome find out what the matter was. He couldn't have Rin going from crying to yelling to crying again when the other Lords came to the castle.
Sesshomaru walked down the hall to one of the guest rooms to see a body laying on one of the beds. He could smell from the air that the girl named Kagome hasn't woken up yet. It has been four days since the girl has been at his castle. He still can't figure out why she wasn't with his stupid baka of a half brother.
He watched Kagome for a moment longer until he decided it was best to leave. The moment he opened the door he could hear a soft moan come from behind him. 'So the girl is waking up. This would be a good time to find out way she wasn't with that baka half-breed,' thought Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru walked over to the bed and took a seat beside the girl. He placed his hand over the girl's mouth before she could scream and wake every person in his castle. They needed as much sleep as they could get if they where to do their best work for when the other three lord's and their sons' came to visit they were a handful.
"Listen Wench, when I let go of your mouth I want you to stay quit until I tell you to speak, unless you want your tongue to be ripped out. Do you understand?" said Sesshomaru with a chilling voice. Kagome shivered from the coldness of his voice, but nodded his head. "Now tell me why weren't you with my brother Inu Yasha, and why were you in the rain four days ago alone and crying? Do you not know that there are man-eating demons and animals out there? There are also bandits that would love to have a go at your virginity. Now answer me," said Sesshomaru with a stern voice.
When Kagome felt Sesshomaru's hand leave her mouth she moved to the other end of the bed where she was away from the demon lord. "First, I'm not with Inu Yasha any longer. Secondly, I was crying in the forest from what Inu Yasha had told Kikyo. Does that make you happy Mr. Ice Prince?" Kagome yelped when she was thrown against her bed and a clawed hand around her neck. She began to wheeze for air as she began to slash at the clawed hands.
"Do not call me by that name Woman. You shall address me as master, or Sesshomaru-sama. Do you understand?" Kagome nodded her head the best she could as the hand around her neck tightened. The man above the woman slowly moved his hand and he forcefully picked her up to make her stand. "You will start to live in this castle for now on since Inu Yasha won't be taking care of you, and you will begin to take care of Rin. She has been acting very strange lately, I want you to find out what the matter is," explained Sesshomaru.
"Well can you tell me exactly how she's been acting strange?" asked Kagome. Sesshomaru stared at the girl and finally answered. "One minuet she'll be all happy and hyper then the next she'll be crying and yelling at everyone that she is more then just a hyper little girl." Kagome thought about what Sesshomaru had told her. Then a thought came to mind.
"Does she complain about her stomach hurting, sometimes?" asked Kagome.
"Yes, lately she has been complaining about that. So do you know the answer woman?" Kagome flinched at the name. She was getting angry with the stupid ice prince calling her human, woman, or even wench. Then something popped into her head.
"I'll make you a deal "LORD" Sesshomaru. If you will stop calling me names like human, woman, or even wench and start calling me by my name which is Kagome, then I'll help Rin…and I'll even throw in a listen in manners, reading, and spelling how about that," said Kagome.
Sesshomaru listened to what Kagome had to say. So the only thing he had to do was call the girl by her name and she'll do all that. "If I do agree to your terms then you must do anything I say without argue and if you do argue then you will be punished. So is that a deal, Ka...go...me?" Kagome held back the shiver that ran through her when she heard him say her name. It felt as if something cold went through her body.
"All right it's a deal. So when to I get to meet this girl Rin? How old is she?" asked Kagome.
"You will meet her at dinner tonight. You will start your listens with her tomorrow, and she is 13 years old. Now go get cleaned up, dinner will be at 7 o'clock sharp. If you are late you will be punished. Is that under stood?" said Sesshomaru. Kagome just nodded her head.
Kagome ran into her bedroom once Sesshomaru had left. She couldn't believe she made that deal with him…Lord of the Western Lands…the one and only Ice Prince. "What have I done? I shouldn't have done that. There's no telling what he'll make me do. Oh Kami please help me," thought Kagome. Kagome looked around the room until she saw two doors. She walked over to them and opened them. She couldn't believe what she saw, rows and rows of beautiful kimonos. She picked one and went to another set of doors. She opened them and saw one of the largest hot springs she have ever saw. On the other side of the hot spring was a small waterfall. Some plants were even in the hot spring.
Kagome washed up and put on the kimono. The kimono was a dark pink with a blue dragon circling the kimono the sash was also a dark pink. She walked into the hall and saw Sesshomaru standing in front of her door. She bowed and rose to see him staring at her. 'What is he staring at? Is he staring at me? But why would he do that? Oh well but damn he is fine as hell in that. Is top was dark blue with red sakura pedals, his pants were also a dark blue and his sash was a bright red.
'Damn he should wear that more often. It really brings him out since he has such pale skin-----What the hell am I thinking. I shouldn't be thinking this. No need to stop thinking how hot Sesshomaru is. Damn it I just said it again.' Kagome was starting to get frustrated at herself.
