- Bring Me to Life, Evanescence

He grabbed her by the neck of her shirt; Kagome continued to flail and pounded on him with little fists, screaming as if she were already dead. They took to the sky. The air was chilling and she had begun to shiver furiously. Sesshoumaru wrapped his strong arms tighter around the girl to share body heat. He than faltered, why did he care what happened to the girl? Was she important to him? "Never" he deduced in his mind, the day he stooped to caring about the life of a worthless human was the day hell would freeze over. When they came to the castle he carelessly threw her to the ground as if Kagome were a mere rag doll.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Kagome ranted in anger and fear

Sesshoumaru kept his coolness "Woman, you will learn it's not in your best interest to question my verdict."

"I will question you when I WANT!" She screamed into his amber eyes

Just then a hand came and struck her on the face, the pain shot and stung through her cheek when she realized he slapped her.

"I will say no more wench." Sesshoumaru growled "Maybe this will teach the little one manners and respect for one such as I. If not I'll just kill her afterI'm through with her." This thought buzzed and cackled in Sesshoumaru's head. He dragged Kagome by her arm down the stairs into a dark cold place where the smell of evil was present. The rats scurried with their little squeaks in mass herds. Kagome could barely make out the gleam of silver bars leading to a torture room for victims of the demon's.

"You're not…going to..." Kagome's frightened voice echoed throughout the room. Cuffs and chains hung from walls as Sesshoumaru's long hand reached over and pulled Kagome to them. He forced her into the stony chiseled wall while she cried out in pain from the pressure of the cuffs he was slamming on her hands. They were hung on the wall making it impossible for Kagome to sit down or even scratch her nose.

"You can't do this! Inuyasha will save me!!" Kagome cried

Sesshoumaru's mouth formed a tight grin "Do you honestly think that bastard cares about you when he's is off with his bitch priestess?"

Each word made there mark indefinably they struck her in ways the physical pain would never touch and the demon lord just left her there in her tears. The true punishment came from not whips nor chains but his damn brother. He couldn't have afflicted her worse.

"Damn him! Damn him to hell! How could he leave me like this, in the ice prince's hands! Only God knows what Sesshoumaru is planning to do to me! He hates humans and more than likely would take that hate out on me. Oh why did I have to run?" Kagome thought

It was getting cold and the rats were nibbling at her feet constantly running back when she kicked them.

Sesshoumaru walked up the long marble steps that led to his private wing of the castle. No mortal human had ever made it past the barrier he erected. Not even demons could go there without being in pain by passing through. It was meant that if you were strong enough to go through it would feel like thousands of shards of glass were cutting you, bleeding you dry. As he was walking to his room her raven hair flashed in his head, next her ebony eyes until soon his mind could not control the erotic thoughts dancing in his head. "Why does this wench's image plague my mind?" Sesshoumaru thought aloud. He let his thoughts linger back to the words of his father about his human mate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

"Humans are a weakness. They are nothing and there only purpose is to be exploited by us, to mate with them is vulgar." A young Sesshoumaru challenged his father

Sesshoumaru's father stood in front of his son taking each remark with graceful pride. There was a wise-knowing in his aged amber eyes. "You do not understand love, my son. You have sealed your heart off from the rest of the world and until you can learn to open to another you will lie in ignorance." Even the young great Sesshoumaru flinched at these words. "Love is for the weak-willed" he thought but still the words burned upon his very soul.

It had to be an hour although it felt like more. Kagome's joints were sore and she had given up on the rats as they nibbled on the ends of her shoes. She was oddly becoming lethargic and it felt like the room was spinning before her eyes. Suddenly she noticed a pair of glowing red eyes emerging from the opaque darkness. A hissing was omitted echoing the dungeon and the eyes moved closer in a stalking fashion. She screamed and hoped somehow through the layers of earth that separated her and Sesshoumaru he could hear her plea. "Was this how it was supposed to end?" she thought to silent gods.
