The next morning kagome woke up. `Where am I, oh am at Lord Sesshomaru's castle “kagome thought? Just as she got up a neko demon came in the door “My lady thy lord wishes you to bath and get dress for diner” “What is you name” kagome asked “Neelima, my lady” “well Neelima could you call me by Kagome' kagome asked. "Yes, kagome", Neelima said with a slight smile.

Kagome and Shippo got up and went with Neelima to the dining hall. She could already see Sesshomaru and a hyper child sitting at the table.

"Neelima, you may go now", Sesshomaru said, glancing at Kagome.

A servant served a platter of food. The rest of the meal was eaten with complete silence. As Kagome ate her food with her head bowed, she could feel Sesshomaru's golden eyes staring at her. Kagome wanted to yell out but she didn't dare break the silence that consumed everyone at the table including the little girl. Kagome ate quickly and got up, hurrying to her room along with a confused Shippo, feeling uncomfortable near the presence of the demon lord. As soon as she got to her room, she closed the door behind her.

"Why was he staring at me like that?" Kagome thought out loud.

"Who was staring at you, Kagome?" Shippo asked her with confused written all over his face.

"Nobody", Kagome quickly answered, not wanting to frighten the kitsune cub.

"Oh well. I'm really tired", Shippo replied with a small yawn. He walked slowly to the big bed and slumped down on it, falling instantly into a deep slumber. Kagome smiled at the tired cub and started to lie down beside him when she heard knock on the door. Neelima entered the room.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you at this time, but Lord Sesshomaru wants to see you in his room", Neelima said apologetically.

Kagome got up from her bed and let Neelima lead her to Sesshomaru's room. Once they got there Neelima bowed and left leaving a nervous Kagome to open the door. As soon as she opened it she found the silver haired taiyoukai sitting on his long bed.

"Come in", Sesshomaru said to Kagome, who was half way through the door.

"Why did you need me, Lord Sesshomaru?"

"As soon as I saw you, I saw the pathetic amount of power you hold as a miko", Sesshomaru answered emotionlessly and got up from his bed.

"Hey! That's not very nice", Kagome said with rage boiling inside of her. As soon as she spat those words she longed to take them back in. What was she thinking? She was in the presence of Sesshomaru, the one who could kill her with a single swipe.

"Mind you tongue, girl", Sesshomaru replied in the same emotionless voice he had used with her earlier.

"Did you just call me in here to mock me?" Kagome as a frown creped across her face.

"No", Sesshomaru said, slightly taken aback by her lack of respect to him. "I called you in here to know if you wanted to train under me to gain revenge against that useless hanyou."

"Uh...", Kagome hesitated. She would gladly like to have revenge against Inuyasha for doing this to her, but a part of her still remained with him.

"You don't have to give me an answer right away. Take your time. You are dismissed now", Sesshomaru said, seeing her hesitation.

"Okay", Kagome said, relieved. She herself didn't like to answer this critical question right away. She slowly turned towards the door and left. Neelima appeared instantly beside her to guide her to her room.

"Where did you come from?" Kagome asked, surprised by the sudden appearance of the girl.

"Down the hall, I'll have speed too you know. Its part of my demon powers", Neelima answered, giggling at the look of surprise on Kagome's face. "Let's get to your room now. Lord Sesshomaru doesn't like people wandering around in the halls without a reason.

Kagome nodded and let Neelima take her back to her room. As soon as she got there Neelima bowed once again and left leaving Kagome on her own to study her room. She closed the door behind her and for the first time noticed how dirty her clothes were. She went to a wardrobe filled with beautiful kimonos. Kagome took off her own dirty clothes and tried out one of the white kimonos covered by violet flowers. To her surprise, it fit her perfectly. She was about to check out her bed when she heard another knock on the door.

"Come in", she answered, not knowing who it could be.

A little girl with black hair tied into a knot at a side of her head came in carrying a bunch of wildflowers in her small hands.

"I brought you flowers", the girl said with a wide smile.

"You look familiar", Kagome said, rummaging through her thoughts to think of where she had seen this girl. Suddenly it struck her. This was the girl that they had saved from Kohaku.

"I'm Rin", the girl said cheerily.

"Hello, Rin. My name is Kagome", Kagome said, looking adorably at the cute child. "You can put the flowers on my desk."

Rin quickly went over and put the flowers on Kagome's desk. "Bye, bye. I need to go now."

Rin quickly exited before Kagome had the chance to ask her why she was staying with such a demon as Sesshomaru. She had never thought of the youkai to have a soft spot for humans before, but she was too tired to think anymore. She curled up beside Shippo and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in Sesshomaru's room, Sesshomaru was removing his armor and swords to settle in for the night. A number of questions ran around in his mind. What if she doesn't want to train under me? What if she doesn't want revenge on that filthy hanyou? What if she wants to go away from this castle? This is getting ridiculous. Why should I care in the first place for this insolent human Inuyasha drags around?

Kagome awoke to someone yelling in her ear to wake up.

"I'm awake", she answered lazily before falling back asleep.

"Wake up!" the person yelled again, loud enough for her ear drums to pop.

"Ow! Stop it Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, covering her ears, thinking the person was Inuyasha, but quickly remembered that he was no longer here and slowly opened her eyes. She was shocked at the person standing before her. "I-Inuyasha?" she stuttered. She couldn't believe it. It was actually Inu Yasha standing before her. "You idiot! Why did you have to do this to me?" she asked, a tear sliding down her cheek.

"Kago-"

"Shut up you freak!" she yelled, more tears flowing out of her now.

"Don't-"

"I don't want to hear anything from you! SIT!" she yelled at the top of her lungs but was surprised when the magic beads didn't bring the hanyou down. "W-what?" she asked, utterly confused but then surprised and then angry as Inuyasha changed into Shippo.

"Kagome, don't cry. I only took Inuayasha's form to wake you up. Rin informed me that Sesshomaru wanted to see you in the fields today.

"Shippo? That was a mean trick to play!" Kagome shouted, stopping her tears.

"I'm sorry", Shippo said crestfallen. Seeing the kitsune sad gave Kagome a pang of guilt.

"I'm sorry too, Shippo", Kagome said, hugging Shippo close to her. After a few minutes she let go of him and said, “why does Sesshomaru need to see me?"

"I don't know", Shippo answered.

"Oh well", Kagome sighed. She got out of her bed and started downstairs to the fields. She saw Sesshomaru watching Rin play in the fields by the shade of some trees. Seeing her come, he beckoned her to him. Kagome walked up to him, not knowing what he would say.

"Have you made your decision yet", he asked, not taking his eyes off of the playing child.

Kagome's mind raced. It was either now or never. She didn't think she would get the chance to train under Sesshomaru again. She took a deep breath and said, “yes, I'll train under you." As soon as she said that, she saw a flicker of something in his eyes before they became emotionless again. Was that just a flicker of relief I saw? Kagome wondered to herself.

"Good", Sesshomaru said taking her to another part of the field. "We will train here. I will teach you to use your miko powers at full length."

"Okay", Kagome answered with disbelief. She was actually going to train under one of the most feared demons in all of the lands.

Sesshomaru was about to say something but a shriek cut him off. He ran in the direction where Rin was and was surprised to see Jaken slap her.

"Jaken!" Sesshomaru growled, stepping in front of him and the weeping child.

"L-l-lord S-Sesshomaru", Jaken said, trembling in fear for the great demon lord just saw his precious human child being hit by his low servant.

Sesshomaru took out his tokijin. Seeing his master unsheathe his sword made Jaken tremble more in fear.

"Milord, I can explain. This girl nearly killed me by swiping around Ah-Un's (the two headed dragon) whip. You know how sharp that thing is and how fragile my body could be", Jaken quickly explained, hoping Sesshomaru would spare his life.

"I need not listen to any explanations from you, Jaken. You have hit this human and so will serve your punishment well", Sesshomaru said with anger lining his words.

"But-" Jaken started but didn't finish his sentence as Sesshomaru swiped his sword at the toad demon, reducing him to nothing but dust.

Kagome couldn't believe how much Sesshomaru cared for this human child, but she couldn't help but notice the horrified look on Rin's face. "Sesshomaru! Such violence before a mere child", Kagome confronted him, hugging Rin to her.

"I have done what was right and I don't care who sees what I do", Sesshomaru replied, turning to leave to the castle. "Your training will start tomorrow. Be prepared."

The way Sesshomaru said 'be prepared' sent shivers down Kagome's spine, but she couldn't help feel a bit of admiration for him as well as something else that she didn't understand. What was that feeling? Love? That can't be. How can I come to love a cold hearted demon in such a short time? Kagome thought to herself.

That's the end of that chapter and I would like to thank my friend BlackPearl-sama for helping me. And thanks for the reviews ill get the next chapter up soon. luv you all!
