My Wildflower by Jaken_Worshiper
Once Upon a Wildflower.
Dear Reader:
The Summary as it currently is might not do my story any justice, but I hope that you will read it and actually like it. :) I like writing stories, but I often lose my motivation, so I joined Dokuga becasue I think reviews and feedback will defiently inspire me to write and actually finish something for once. XD So, please review, if you don't mind.

"Perfect!" Kagome exclaimed, as she placed an empty vase on the table, her mission to decorate her new cottage finally complete.
She smiled happily at the little house she'd just paid for with all of her savings from working part-time at various places in her town. She had finally made enough to move out into the woods in her little cottage; her dream since she was a child.
She was also relieved. Relieved that she was no longer a burden to her kind foster-mother, Kaede, who'd raised her ever since Kagome had been left on her doorstep as a baby.
Satisfied with her work, she decided to go for a stroll and explore her new haven. She placed her white sun hat on her head and went outside.
The sky was clear and the sun was bright, but it wasn't at all hot; wonderful weather for a walk. She followed the nice clear stream for a while, taking in the scenery. She lifted her head and gently sniffed the breeze, and she suddenly caught the scent of her very favorite things: Wildflowers.
She left the guidance of the stream in order to find her treasures. She cut through a forest of birch trees, and she was instantly submerged in a waist-high field of flowers.
Her face brightened as she sniffed each and every type of bloom. There were dozens and dozens of different colored and scented flowers; Kagome was beyond pleased.
'I know!' She thought 'I can take some of these back with me to put in my vase!' And with that thought, she began plucking the gorgeous blossoms.

It had been a strenuously long week for Sesshomaru Taisho, the President of Taisho Industries.
He was relieved to be out of the city and in his weekend estate, tucked into the gorgeous countryside of Japan.
Sesshomaru was standing in his bedroom, untying his tie, when his butler called out to him. "Master?"
"What is it?" He said, slipping off the tie.
"There's an intruder out in the field!" Jaken squawked.
At this, Sesshomaru threw the thin material atop his dresser and bustled past his servant and into the upstairs sitting area, which housed three large windows that overlooked a few of the many acres of Sesshomaru's property.
He approached the middle window, instantly spotting the figure in his flower field.
His alarm turned quickly to curiosity as he realized his "intruder" was merely a young woman, bouncing about while picking flowers.
"Should I contact the authorities?" Jaken croaked from beside him.
"That's quite alright." Sesshomaru said, his eyes finally leaving the girl. "I'll handle this myself." He called, already traveling down the staircase.

Kagome glanced at the rainbow of blooms in her arms. 'I think I'll just pick a few more...' she thought, beginning to reach for another flower, but was stopped by a gravely voice.
"Girl, is this your property?"
Kagome turned to see a silver-haired man wearing a tucked-in white dress shirt and black pants, staring down at her. "Uhhh, no..." She squeaked, nervously. "I don't think it belongs to anyone, actually."
"Really?" Sesshomaru asked, a silver eyebrow shooting up.
She simply nodded in response, stunned by the man's sudden presence.
He stepped to the side and pointed backwards to his mansion. "Did you not notice that house over there?"
"...No, actually." She said, her cheeks blushing at her air-headed ways.
He was deeply humored by the antics of the girl and admired the way her embarrassed cheeks matched her flowery dress. "That house, this land, those flowers: They all belong to me, Sesshomaru Taisho." He stated smugly, waiting for the woman to realize who, and how powerful, he was.
The girl only stared blankly up at him.
'She can't seriously not know who I am' he thought.
A minute passed and still no response or sign of recognition came forth from the female. "I own the biggest industry in all of Japan." He stated, giving up on letting her figure it out for herself.
"Really?" She asked, wide-eyed. She had never before in her life met someone who seemed so regal; she was truly amazed.
"Yes, Girl. Come with me and I will show you." With that, he turned and headed back to his estate, the girl closely behind him, clutching her flowers to her chest.
They entered the most lavish and spacey living room Kagome had ever seen in her entire twenty years of life. She was captivated by the high ceilings and elegant white sofas.
Sesshomaru stopped in front of the fireplace and gestured toward the framed landscape. Kagome stood beside the strange man, gawking at the beautiful skyscraper she saw in front of her. It was a silver/black color that reminded her of a precious stone. She had only seen a few buildings like this before, all from pictures of course, but they never even came close to being as stunning as this one.
Just then, Jaken bound into the room. "GET AWAY FROM MASTER TAISHO, YOU TRESPASSER!" He screeched, stopping in front of the girl.
Kagome did nothing but stare at the ugly, toad-like man that had so blatantly insulted her. Now he stood there, shooting a look of hatred up at her, from his place at least two feet below her, due to his short structure.
She watched as a strong hand picked up this rude guy by the back of his shirt and hoisted him into the air.
"Now, Jaken" Sesshomaru started. "You must apologize for your disgraceful behavior."
The toad hesitated, looking from the girl and back to his master, tempted to stick his tongue out to the stranger, either out of bravery or pure stupidity. At last, he muttered a quick apology.
Sesshomaru released his grip, and the toad dropped to the floor, landing on his bottom, and quickly picked himself up and scurried away, muttering under his breath.
Feeling a tap on his arm, Sesshomaru turned back his attentions to the girl, who held her flowers out to him. "I'm sorry that I took these; I honestly didn't know I was on your land." She told him.
Her actions almost made the stoic-faced business tycoon break out a smile; what an honestly simple-minded and pure-hearted girl she was.
'What a strange girl.' he thought.
"That's quite alright." He replied. "Take them home with you."
Once again, her features returned to their happy expression. "Thank you!" She exclaimed, joyfully. Glancing outside, she noticed the setting sun. "I really must go now before it gets too dark to find my way back." She said, shooting him a smile. "Goodbye, Mr. Taisho!" She called to him, as she exited through the open sliding glass door and went out into the field and back into the woods.
'What a strange girl, indeed.'
