Kagome awoke the next morning to a cold bed, sans one extremely beautiful male. She quickly sat up, looking for him almost desperately before she realized how stupid she was being and plopped back down into the soft bed. Remembering what he had been doing to her the night before, she felt her face burned in embarrassment that she enjoyed it so much, and shouldn’t have. Sighing, she smacked her head, and was slightly amused at the puff of warm air escaping into the air from her mouth.
Focus, you numbskull! she told herself suddenly, focus! You have to go home!
That’s right, she had to go home. Hopefully, whoever lived in this place would let her go home without much of a fuss or a gorgeous youkai to deter her with his body, his well-built body… and skilled hands….and dexterous mouth…
She smacked herself in the head again and groaned. She had to stop thinking of that handsome youkai. For one thing, she was a miko, not a very good one, but one nonetheless! For another, he was youkai. Oh she knew he was youkai, for youkai did exist in the world, but few ever revealed themselves to humans. She’d only met two in her lifetime before Sesshoumaru and they were kind, not at all like the voracious, blood-thirsty ones her grandfather painted them to be as she was growing up. Growing up in a shrine, she was taught to differentiate humans from youkai by their auras. Her youkai was definitely youkai, he exuded such a powerful aura, and it was almost suffocating. Miko and youkai were as different as night and day, enemies they were, but here, no one had yet to approach her about her background… not yet anyway. Not with an attractive youkai hovering over her and molesting her until she knocked herself out in a fit of tears. Such an attractive youkai he was… so attractive…
She snapped out of her thoughts and slapped her face with both hands. She was a good girl and she needed to go home! She couldn’t lie in this huge bed all day and cry herself to sleep like how she did last night, albeit with an Adonis at her side. She was a tough girl, and she needed to go home now.
Forcing herself away from the comfortable and warm bed, she scurried about the room looking for some clothes, anything for her to wear instead of draping the huge and heavy blanket over her like harlot. Luckily for her though, she didn’t have to open anything, for a small, big-eyed toad thing slid open the door and servants poured into the room with piles of clothes.
Kagome stood still, mouth gaping open as the servants lined up and stood before her, bowing with a stack of clothes in their arms.
“You there, filth!” the green, bulbous-eyed creature pointed at her with a strange looking staff with two heads, “how came you to be in my esteemed Lord Sesshomaru’s room!?”
He continued to insult her and praise his esteem Lord Sesshouma-something or other. The screeching was giving her a headache. If that green thing didn’t shut up soon, she was going to-
Yet before she could continue with her thoughts and he, with his tirade of insults, a flying shoe managed to knock the toad thing to the floor. She blinked at the suddenness of it all and almost jumped out of her skin when her beautiful youkai came into the room.
“Jaken,” a low, baritone and sexy voice spoke, “leave, now.”
Kagome resisted the urge to shudder as the green creature called Jaken bowed and nodded with so much pride that his lord addressed him by name, she felt like puking. The green thing left and with a wave of the pale youkai’s hand, the servants set the clothes down on the bed, bowed and left the room. Now it was just Kagome and her youkai.
They stared at each other for a long time, one sizing up the other and the other looking on in amusement.
“This Sesshoumaru is not here to fight you, miko,” he told her, seductive and deep.
Sesshoumaru, so his name was Sesshoumaru, Kagome thought as she fought the urge to press her legs together. Just the sound of his voice made her wet! This felt so wrong!
Sesshoumaru smelled her arousal and smirked. How he enjoyed her scent!
Kagome looked at him confusedly as he inhaled deeply several times. Was he getting ready to do something?
She gulped, “What do you want?”
After calming down from the pleasantness of her scent, he looked at her, before his eyes strayed to the bed.
She squeaked as his eye action probably meant that he wanted to continue on from last night, and wrapped the blanket over herself tighter. No way was she going to sleep with him! Not now and not ever! Her virtue was meant for her future husband only!
“Y-you’re not getting my virtue, youkai! For I am a miko and powerful (with some training), but I am powerful nonetheless!” Kagome shouted at him.
A few moments dragged on until the pale haired male beauty threw his head back and laughed.
Kagome was annoyed as he continued laughing.
Sesshoumaru had felt her power all right, he had felt it the moment he saw her broken body and what a delicious power it was. It had stung him as it tried to protect its mistress, but its powers did little to harm him as he meant the girl no harm.
Well… maybe a little, he thought to himself with a grin, youkai couplings are very intense after all…
Although he hadn't tried her kind before...or miko for that matter, he was always willing to try something new.
“What? I am strong, you know!” she huffed.
He felt a burning sensation against his skin. Was it from the girl? Reaching out with his youki, he felt her reiki react and slap him away. Did she even know what she was doing? He was amused. This girl was so interesting… but he needed some order from the girl now.
“Girl,” he snapped at her and she flinched.
“I am not girl! My name is KA-GO-ME! Got it!? Kagome!" she yelled at him in fury.
His eyes narrowed at her and she became meek in a matter of seconds.
“This one has ordered the servants to bring you clothes,” he told her, though it sounded more as if he was telling her to shut up and put on the clothes.
“U-um… hai?”
Not sure what to do, she decided to finally go over to the bed, wary of the intense gaze the youkai casted on her. Reaching out one hand and holding the blanket still over her with the other, she looked through the clothes, marveling at the thick, but silky texture. After going through a few, she chose one that was white with purple flowers decorated all over it. She loved the design and the softness of it.
It’s beautiful, she thought, almost worthy of a princess…
It was then that she realized that she was being foolish. These were clothes befitting of rich lady or a princess even. She was neither, just plain little Kagome who was poor and lived in a shrine in the mountains. This wasn’t her home, this wasn’t her place. These weren’t her clothes and these were definitely didn’t fit someone like her.
Sesshoumaru had been enjoying the reactions on her face as she went through the silken gowns, looking for one that would catch her eyes. Just when she picked out one, he sensed her glowing aura darken suddenly, and slowly, she put away the beautiful kimono and turned to him.
“These are beautiful, but not for someone like me. I must decline,” she told him.
What was wrong with the girl? They were just clothes, and though he did not mind seeing her naked all the time, she would not be able to withstand the cold.
His eyes narrowed, “Choose one or choose nothing at all, miko.”
They stared at each other for a few good minutes as Kagome did not wish to back down from his impressing stare and Sesshoumaru simply could not back down from a challenge met. Truly, the girl intrigued him. He looked down her body and back up, a smarmy grin spreading upon his lips.
Finally, Kagome’s mind caught up to his words, and realized that she would rather have him not ogle her naked body. With a grunt, she grabbed the one from before and gave Sesshomaru a menacing stare.
“You can’t look!” she practically snarled at him.
An eyebrow rose and he fought with himself to deny her, but realized that perhaps being on her good side would yield him some good points in the future. Turning swiftly, he exited the room and slid the door shut behind him. Kagome let out a deep breath once he stepped out of the room. Honestly, the youkai aggravated her, but he was very good-looking unfortunately, so much that she really didn’t want to use her purifying powers on him. Shaking her head, she proceeded to put on the kimono.
Shortly after, Sesshoumaru entered the room with a small bag in his hands. Kagome, now dressed, got up from the bed and looked at him warily. He shoved the back in front of her, as if expecting her to take it.
She hesitated, “You want me to…take it?”
“Hn.” came his reply.
She fought the urge to roll her eyes as she accepted it… and didn’t know what to do with it.
He stood there, watching her, as if waiting for something. She was confused and looked at him. His face was very impassive so she couldn’t tell what he was thinking, but decided to take what seemed like the easier route; opening the bag.
She sighed and opened it… and squealed in joy.
“Chocolates!?” she almost shrieked, “you have chocolates here!?”
He swore his ear drums felt like they were exploding. The girl was hungry; he had heard her stomach growling for nourishment since the day before. She hadn’t eaten in many days and he hadn’t been able to give her much except liquids, of which he fed to her mouth to mouth, but he wasn’t going to tell her that. Perhaps this would appease her for now and shut her up for a good while too. Although his face remained placid, he was cheering with pride inside. She liked the chocolates! He had to file that information away for future reference, just in case she was ever mad at him. A willing female was better than a snarling one.
Kagome was elated to see something familiar. She didn’t know what these youkai ate, other than fresh, raw meat, considering they were predators. To see that they also enjoyed delicacies like chocolates warmed her heart. Perhaps these were chocolates of friendship? He hadn’t attacked her yet, considering what he did the night before.
It warmed her heart, knowing that he was nice despite the cold attitude and bouts of sexual harassment.
“Thank you, my lord…” she beamed at him, happiness emanating from her in waves.
Sesshoumaru was taken back and felt a strange feeling inside his chest.
“Sesshoumaru.”
Kagome looked up from her chocolates, “Hmm? What was that?”
“You will call this one, Sesshoumaru. It is his name,” he said to her.
Kagome blinked in surprise. Perhaps… perhaps he really wasn’t so bad after all.
It was slow at first, starting from her lips, but it entered every part of her body, every nook and cranny until he saw her eyes sparkling like stars in the night sky and her aura radiating like the sun.
“Thank you…Sesshoumaru.”
He almost fell to floor as that strange thudding feeling inside him was suddenly stronger, pounding furiously inside his chest. The cold inside seemed to be slipping away and… warmth?... began to envelope him. What was this girl doing to him?

Elsewhere, the Lady of the West threw down a letter on her desk (of which had reached her that morning) in fury. There was little in the letter, but its content spoke volumes.
Snowdrops have been sighted…
