Ok. One more chapter for you. Keep in mind I’m still finishing it up.

~~~^~~~ Chapter 3~~~^~~~

Kagome sensed a powerful youkai coming, and immediately left the village to ensure the safety of the residents living there. She waited until the youkai came into view to take a course of action, that is, until she realized it was a familiar inu.

Sesshoumaru floated on his cloud, tail wrapped around him, and came closer to Kagome. Sesshoumaru’s eyes widened ever so slightly. He at first did not recognize the female ahead if him, but as soon as he took a whiff of the air, he realized that this was the human that traveled alongside his half-brother. ‘But she is hanyou!’

“Inuyasha’s bitch, what a pleasant surprise,” he said, dripping with sarcasm.

“I am no one’s bitch, dog,” she spat, “Now, what are you doing here?”

“I have come for the half-breed. And by half-breed, I mean Inuyasha,” he paused, “Not to be mistaken with you, of course.” He smirked.

Kagome gave him a painful smile and then snarled, letting her aura flare. Sesshoumaru eyed the Miko carefully, feeling the power she was emanating. “Do not worry, I am not here to fight you. You are not worthy of my time.”

Ticked off to be taken so lightly again by a demon, Kagome couldn’t help but respond. Recently, her mind always wanted to prove her independence and dominance and she could not hold herself back! If it was a reaction to arrogant demons, or from her transformation, she did not know, “Scared to fight a girl, are you? It’s alright, I understand.” As soon as she finished her insult, she felt her breath escape her lungs, and pain shoot up her back. He had pinned her to a tree, with a clawed-hand snaked around her delicate neck. Sesshoumaru’s youki flared in response to hers, and after several calming breaths, he spoke, barely above a whisper, “Trust me, Miko. I can defeat any opponent.”

The fox demon watched from the trees and listened on, ‘So this girl is part Miko, AND part demon? No wonder she’s so powerful.’ After much internal debate, he finally came to the conclusion to not interfere. He wanted to see what his future mate was capable of. Only if she really needed him would he step in and help.

Kagome was held high up against the tree in just one of Sesshoumaru's hands, and her life was about to end. How could she have been so stupid? Provoking the Lord of the Western Lands? But Kagome would not die a coward. “Go ahead,” she struggled for air, “Kill me,” she breathed in what little air she could get, “like you do everyone else! What are you going to gain?” She paused, gaining as much composure as she could, and continued, “Absolutely NOTHING!”

‘What is this girl doing?’ Sesshoumaru thought ‘She was asking him to kill her!’ Was she being brave? Or was she just insane?

Sesshoumaru steadily lowered her back towards the ground, allowing the tips of her toes to graze the ground. With his hand still around her neck, he curiously looked her up and down and ever so slowly, he began to loosen his grip. Immediately, she keeled over and tried to get as much oxygen into her lungs as possible. He looked at her pathetic and weak form, gasping for air. “She wasn’t bad looking as a hanyou”, he thought. With a decisive stare, he turned his back towards her. “Come,” he said over his shoulder.

“What?” she responded hoarsely as she massaged her neck.

“I will not repeat myself,” he said in a threatening voice. “For sparing your life, you will follow me wherever I go. You will be mine.”

In truth, he was testing her. She had a fire in her that refused to go out, and he liked a challenge.

She took a deep breath, and yelled as best as she could with her throbbing throat and lungs, “Like hell I will!”

Sesshoumaru turned around to face her. His stare pinned her to her spot. He walked towards her, taking each step at an agonizingly slow pace. Kagome used the tree to help her stand up as quickly as possible and tried to hide her confusion and emotions, but her eyes showed everything: anger, anxiety, and most of all, fear. What the hell was he going to do?

When he finally reached her, he quickly and forcefully placed one hand under her chin and the other around her waist, and pressed his lips upon hers. Kagome struggled against his hold and pushed with all her might against his chest, but he would NOT budge. This was like a bad nightmare happening again! After yesterday, she had learned her lesson. She concentrated on her hands against Sesshoumaru’s chest, and collected her Miko powers in one forceful shove. The surprised youkai was thrown 10 feet away, but without a scratch; he had gotten away just in time. He was angry at first that she dared to strike him, but when he saw the look in her eye, he knew whatever he did would be useless. She was using every fiber of her being to stay away from him and live. In hindsight, he probably should have not just almost tried to kill her.

“I have previous engagements I must attend to in the next few days, so you do not have to come with me now. But rest assured, I will be back for you.” And with those words, he disappeared into the clouds. Kagome stood for a moment longer, until her legs finally gave out, and she collapsed onto her hands and knees from exhaustion and surprise.

Tears began to fall from her eyes. The stress from the past two days had been piling up and she could not take anymore. She gripped the ground with all her strength and let her emotions pour out.

Kagome stiffened as she felt arms embracing her, forcing her head into the comforts of a pair of broad shoulders. She did not dare look at the figure’s face. “Don’t cry, mate. From now on, I won’t let anyone else touch you,” said the voice from last night. Kagome put her hands on his chest and tried to push him away, but her attempt was futile. She was low on energy again, and she was an emotional wreck. There was no way in hell she could focus her mind. He took her into his arms and held on tight. He rubbed her back and purred, trying to soothe her as much as possible.

She continued her ineffective pushing, ‘Why is this happening to me? Two youkais? And Kouga? That makes three! And the one I want I can’t have.’ *Ah, the irony*Here she was, in the middle of an open field, in the arms of another she barely knew, crying.

After more minutes of pointless wriggling and struggling, she did finally calm down and recuperate some. When he could tell she was feeling better, he loosened his arms and looked her in the eyes. “Are you alright?” he asked with concern. Kagome looked up confused, and nodded.

“I should go now.” She sniffled and slowly stood up. “Please, just leave me alone.”

“I’m sorry, but I won’t. Not with that dog chasing you.” He tossed his head in the direction Sesshoumaru had left.

Kagome paused, then whispered, “I’m sorry.”

He looked down at her with confusion. Had she wronged him? It was not her fault the dog took advantage of her. “For what?” he asked with his raised eyebrow.

Kagome simply closed her eyes, and concentrated her entire body to use her regained energy to blast him into a nearby boulder. She dashed as fast as she could towards the direction of the well. She was leaving this crazy world.
