Looking around the court Kagome couldn’t help but sigh inside, her Okaa-san and Oto-san thought it would be a good idea for the gathering since the West had fallen not only a few years ago and slowly things were going back to order.

“Is something the matter Kagome-chan?” Turning to glance at her longtime friend Sango she gave a light shrug.

“I just do not see the point in all of this is all.” Eyes trained back towards the crowd of people that seemed to be gathering by the main hall.

“It seems something is happening.” Sango said suddenly standing, following her Kagome made her way through the crowd of people. Most moving out of the way for the Princess; breaking through the crowd Kagome tried to stop the gasp from escaping her lips at the sight before her. There on the ground, held down like an animal was Sesshomaru, the former Lord of the West. Eyes going to her Ota-san she spoke her mind.

“What is the meaning of this? Father what is he doing here?” She couldn’t help but let her eyes drift back to the Youkai on the floor; his long silver hair matted and dirty spread out before him. Her heart went out to him, no one; not even Youkai should be treated this way.

“I bought him for you my dear.” Kagome froze at those words letting her eyes slowly drift over to her Ota-san’s. Oh how she wanted to yell at him for doing such a foolish thing! Yet she was a Princess, and they never went against their Ota’s wishes. Bowing she thanked him before motioning to the guards to let him go.

“Stand.” When he didn’t respond, she thought maybe he hadn’t of heard her; yet she knew better because she knew of their amazing hearing ability. “I asked you to stand.” With her voice firm she tried to not let her worry show, maybe he was injured? Eyes flicking over his form she noticed his claws digging into the fur rug he was placed upon.

“This Sesshomaru will not submit to a ningen.” He spoke, his deep voice smooth and calm. One of the guards standing by yanked on the chain around his neck forcing him to look up and face her. Deep golden met midnight blue in a swirl of dominance.

“Stand down Jinjii.” Kagome spoke looking to the guard holding the chain.

“Sorry Kagome-sama.” He bowed before backing away, walking forward she leaned down and whispered.

“If you want to get out of here, do as I say.” Before standing and grabbing the chain around his neck. “Follow.” And with that, the Daiyoukai let some of his pride go and followed his new “Master” away from everyone; his eyes watching the sway of her hips the entire time.

‘At least she is very nice to look at.’ His beast thought. ‘That may be true but she is still just a lowly ningen.’ He thought back. ‘I bet she would be an amazing rut.’ A smirk came to the demon’s face. ‘Hnn.’

Going through a door he took note on how he got here so when the time came he would escape. The door closed behind him and the chain around his neck fell to the ground. Looking at the girl he watched her pace.

‘I can’t believe this! What was my father thinking? He knows how I feel about things like this!’ Kagome thought pacing back and forth; never noticing the golden eyes watching her the entire time. Slowly after what seemed to be ten minutes or so, she realized she wasn’t alone and stopped suddenly. Turning to face her… what was she to call him? He was too proud to be a pet or a slave, until she figured it out she would keep the thoughts to herself.

“Would you like a bath?” At his nod, she smiled and motioned for him to follow her to the next room over. “I can get a maid to bring you some clean clothes so you don’t have to wear that… loin cloth.”

“Hnn.” Was all he said, she didn’t know what to do; it wouldn’t be wise to leave him by himself, control collar or not.

“Well umm, I’ll look away as you get in.” With a blush Kagome turned around until she heard the water move and settle. Turning to look to the Youkai in her personal bath she had to stop a gasp from escaping, he was even more beautiful covered in water. His hair swirled around his body as he leaned back to wet it, the mud and dirt leaving most of it. ‘I’m in big trouble.’ She thought continuing to watch the demon bathe.

A few hours later found Kagome and Sesshomaru in the library, her quickly going through books and him sitting on the floor beside the desk.

“How is it not here? I just saw it not even a week ago.” Kagome mumbled to herself while pushing her bangs behind her ears. Sighing she leaned back, giving up at the moment, looking down to her new… companion, yes that would do for now and decided to try and get him to speak once more. “Sesshomaru, may I ask you a few questions?” It took a minute before he gave a slight nod, bringing a smile to her face. “If it’s not too much to ask, exactly how old are you?”

He pondered this for a moment thinking it over. “I’ll be hitting my nine hundredth year this winter.” At her gasp he turned his molten gaze her way.

“But you look barley twenty!” Another smirk grazed his features.

“Hnn.”

“That is just, amazing.” Kagome mumbled to herself. “How old were you when you become a Lord?” His face grew dark and a snarl almost ripped from his lips.

“Four hundred and fifty, after my father died saving his ningen whore and bastard child.” She didn’t know how to respond to that, it seems no matter how long it’s been it still hurt him.
