Disclaimer: I don't own any characters of the series of Inuyasha! I claim only the plot/storyline of this story.
Sesshoumaru was traveling alone, checking on his lands. Nothing had been wrong so far, until he smelled blood. He could identify the source as his half-brother's miko. He walked closer to the smell, wandering what the miko was doing on his lands, alone and smelling like blood. When he arrived at the small clearing the miko was in, he smelled a light trace of Naraku and his half-brother Inuyasha. That, he didn't like. There she laid, shattered like a broken mirror, small and large cuts on her tiny form. Sesshoumaru watched her with his usual cold mask in place for awhile, until he finally picked her up with his arm. He couldn't leave her here. She was the Shikon Miko, and it would ruin his reputation if she were to die on his lands. So, he adjusted her on his arm, wrapping his mokomoko around her form, to keep her warm while they flew. Then he left for his den, Kagome safely wrapped in his arms.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>With the Fates<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The fates were looking at the couple, deciding to help Sesshoumaru defeat Naraku, and himself. They gathered up in a ring and started to chant a bonding spell. It took a lot out of them, but when they were done, Sesshoumaru felt a slight sting on his wrist, tough he ignored it. The spell had worked, and the fates were content with the result.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A few days later<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Kagome was laying on something soft and warm, which was weird, since lastly she was in a forest with Inuyasha. She was hurting all over, but she couldn't remember what had happened. As she opened her eyes, she could tell that she was laying on a glamorous bed, and that she couldn't tell where she was. The room was strange for her, she obviously hadn't been in there before. Before she could think up where she was, she heard the door to the room opening. In stepped - to her surprise - Sesshoumaru. Now she was completely freaked out. What was she doing in the Palace Of The Moon?! Before she could go completely insane, Sesshoumaru spoke.
He had been standing there with his cold mask on place, sensing her change of moods since he came in to the room. He was getting frustrated with the miko. "So, miko, you are finally awake, I see." He could tell that she was trying to come up with an answer, but he would have her shut up. "I'll have one of the maids help you clean up, and then escort you to the dining hall. You will be staying here until you recover. That is all." And with that he left her there, stunned to silence.
After about five minutes or so, the young inu maid came in, bowed to Kagome and then helped her to get up. She walked her to her private onsen, and opened the door when they were there. Kagome was again stunned, there was a whole natural hot spring inside. After awhile of looking around to find the washing supplies, the maid waited outside while she washed herself. As she stepped in the springs, her mood lit up and she felt more relaxed. She washed herself until she was completely scrubbed, and then lathered up her hair. While she rinsed, the maid brought her a towel and a kimono to wear. Then she left her in private.
When Kagome was washed and dressed, the maid helped her to fix up her hair and bondage her wounds. At the same time, Kagome noticed a black and red crescent moon on her wrist, and frowned at it. That hadn't been there before. Something was not right, she could tell. Now that she tought about it, while Sesshoumaru was there, she felt weirdly content with it. It was strange, since he had tried to kill her before. Before she had time to finish her toughts, the maid had finished. "Lady Kagome, you should follow me to the dining hall." Kagome just nodded at her, staring at the crescent on her wrist.
As promised, the maid escorted to the large dining hall, where Sesshoumaru was waiting for her, and that weird feeling of content filled her again. She walked to the table, sat down opposite Sesshoumaru, who acknowledged her with a nod. She felt herself blush a bit, tough she didn't know why. They both started eating, and the silence was slightly awkward.
Later that evening, when the meal had been finished, Kagome walked with Sesshoumaru to her private chambers. After a brief bow to him and a good night wishing, she went to change in to her sleep robe, and fell asleep on the bed thinking of the past day.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Sesshoumaru stayed there behind her door for a while, thinking about the weird feeling he got when he was around her. It most certainly wasn't normal. Before he could dwell on it more, he left for his chambers and went to bed, thinking of one very complicated miko.
A/N
So, there is the first chapter. I'm sorry that it's a short one, but they'll get a bit longer starting from the next chapter. Now, I don't know what I'm going to name it, but we'll see. Now I'm warning you, this is my first fanfic, so it might not be very good, but I hope you like it. I'll try to update soon, but no promises made. And no flames thank you ^w^
Yuuki ♥
