My Lord by Magz2015

Chapter 1

Kagome let out an annoyed sigh as she flopped down at her desk in home room. Her mind was still reeling over what happened when she got home from work last night! Of all the people in the Western Lands of Japan to summon she was summoned to the demon Lord's home! 'Oh why me?'

And that was just it, she had no idea why he would want to see her! And she had to admit that she was scared to death to go, but she had no choice in the matter. Everyone knew that he no longer killed humans for the fun of it, but she was still leery. Cause while he did not kill them for the fun of it, it was no secret that he still hated them and had as little to do with them as he possibly could.

But then there was that little girl that was always with him as he traveled around Japan as well. She seemed to be the only exception to the rule. And it wasn't like there was a shortage of demons in the West. She just didn't understand why her.

Then a sudden sense of anger made her snap her head up and she didn't like what she found. Mitsukai. The resident evil dog demon of the school standing over her desk with a look of utter hate. “What do you want now Mitsukai?” That earning her gasps from others, demon, half demon and human alike around her. She sighed, her and Sango were the only ones that didn't let Mitsukai push them around and she didn't understand why others didn't do it as well.

Mitsukai glared down at the miko in front of her. Kagome denied being a miko, but the stench of purification radiated out of every pour that she had and anyone with a sensitive nose could smell it. But that wasn't what she wanted from Kagome today. “Tell me why the imp was at your house yesterday? You know I don't live far away and I could smell him so don't deny it. I know Jaken was there and I want to know what he wanted.”

Kagome sighed at first then smiled a evil grin up at her. While she was scared to go, and didn't know what was going to happen, she would at least get under Mitsukai's skin with what was going on. Since she seemed to be the only demon, half demon or human around that was obsessed with becoming the mate of that cold bastard. “I am not sure yet. He told me that Lord Sesshomaru wanted to see me at his home. A car is going to pick me up from school today.”

Mitsukai growled as her temper started to flare. “Did the little imp tell you why you were being called?”

“Nope just that I was.”

Another growl escaped her. “I will have to look into this. I am the only one in the world that is destined to be his mate.”

Kagome laughed as she leaned back in her chair. “Oh trust me Mitsukai, you can have him I don't want him. I really don't know why I am being called there all the toad said was that I was. I doubt it is to mate me. Think about it, with the exception of the little girl that is always with him he hates humans, why would he want to mate me?”

Mitsukai laughed as she turned and walked away. “That is true. He would not stoop so low as to mate with a human. And even if he did, she wouldn't look as ordinary as you do. She would be a raving beauty. But it won't happen anyway cause I am going to be his mate someday.”

Kagome glared at her back. She hated it when she talked like that, but the sad truth was that she was right. Kagome was nowhere near a beauty like Mitsukai, and other demons and humans, even half demons around were. She was just that. Ordinary. She sighed as she turned away. 'I will show them all one day. I won't look ordinary forever.'

Mitsukai glared through the window of the classroom at Kagome. The word around the adult demons were that Sesshomaru has been acting rather strange as of late. And smells from the kid were showing that she was coming into heat, or as the humans called it maturing. And if that was the case it would make sense that he would want another human who had gone through that change with her. 'But still why a miko?'

Sesshomaru sat down at his desk with a sigh as he let his eyes close. He reached up and undid the top three buttons on his shirt then let his arm fall down on the arm of the chair. The would developed out of control and it seemed like overnight he had to go from wearing his hakama and haori with his armor and swords to a suit with no weapon but his claws. And dealing with the humans and other demons and half demons only became more complicated each day.

His only out in this crazy world were his moments in his palace with Rin. Though thinking about her did cast a haze of pain over his amber eyes. She was all that he craved to keep calm in this chaotic world. And yet he knew that one day he would have to go on without her. Something he hadn't thought about when he aloud her to weave her way into his heart.

And recently she showed that she was aging much faster than he would like even more. Her scent was starting to change.  It wasn’t her change of life but something was changing about her.  So he figured he would have to have a human there at some point and better to have a human there before the change happens to help her through it.  So he figured that he would kill two birds with one stone.

Recent rumors of a girl with the power of miko purification reached him. Her name was Kagome Higurashi and supposedly doesn't even realize that she is a miko either. He would have her look after Rin and he would be able to watch and see how trained or untrained she was at using her powers.

Then a small knock on the door drew him from his thoughts. He had been so into thinking about why he called her to his home that he had forgotten that she was going to be there. His nose registered who it was and he buttoned the buttons back. “Come in.”

Kagome followed the imp in slowly. She knew he was in there and somehow the thought made her shake slightly with fear. When she saw him sitting at his desk however she was taken back. She had always seen him from afar and knew he was handsome, but now that she was so close, he was clearly the most handsome man that she had ever seen! Of any race!

But it didn't matter. Like Mitsukai said, he was dreamy and she was ordinary. She didn't stand a chance with him in any respect. And there was no way someone like him would give her a second look.

Sesshomaru could smell the nervousness and fear on her as he waved Jaken away. “Please sit. Calm down. You are not here because of anything that you have done. I have brought you here to tell you of a job proposal.” He waved his hand as he gestured for her to sit in one of the chairs facing him. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye and sighed inward. 'A miko is also supposed to be stunning in beauty. She is quite ordinary, but clearly a miko.'

Kagome sighed slightly as she sat down. She had worried herself almost sick on the way wondering what he wanted. And about how all the demons and half demons of her district were going to react about her. Or about how they call called her a miko and he wanted to kill her for that. That maybe he got wind of it and that was what he was going to do to her!

Then what he said sank in. He wanted to offer her a job. “What sort of job is it My Lord. Because you see I already have a part time job. Down at the local market by my home.”

Sesshomaru met her gaze with his own expression of ice. “Perhaps I worded that wrong.”

“My Lord?”

“It is not so much an offer as it is fact. The job that I have for you is going to be a set job and you cannot get out of it for the next 12 years.”

Kagome gasped as her head jerked up to look him right in the eye. He couldn't be serious! Then all the different things that he could call a 'job' flashed through her mind and the urge to retch grew stronger. Now pale as a ghost. “What sort of job is it?”

Sesshomaru reached in the top drawer and pulled a photo of himself and Rin. He looked at it for a second as he was reminded why she was there in the first place. “I am sure that you already know of the girl in this picture.” Then he handed it to Kagome. “Her name is Rin and she is my adopted daughter. She is only six years.  I want her to have a human around so that when the time comes she has a good bond with that human and she can help Rin through what some humans have called life changes.  Once she is through those and reaches eighteen you will no longer be needed.  Until then she needs an human’s influence.  Not demons.”

Kagome relaxed. It sounded like he just wanted a babysitter for her and she could do that. She looked down at the picture and smiled. “She is adorable.” Course she wondered what her secret was to be able to get into the heart of a demon that has a reputation of being such a cold bastard. She handed the picture back to him. “What are the conditions?”

Sesshomaru looked her right in the eye. He could see someone who would be feisty in her eyes and he dreaded it. He hoped that common sense would override that urge. “To be blunt about Miss Higurashi. You are going to move into this palace and become something like a surrogate mother to Rin.”
