~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~

Kagome awoke to a sun filled room. She rolled over, attempting to block out the light with her pillow. Failing to do so, she sat up and sheilded her eyes, glaring at the balcony doors for disturbing her.

'What time is it?' she thought breifly, then yawned. In the middle of stretching, she noticed a female standing by the door. Kagome froze in mid stretch.

"Can I help you?" Kagome asked, lowering her arms to the silky sheets pooled at her waist.

The hawk demoness looked up with peircing green eyes, before looking down once more. "Master Sesshomaru sent me to see your needs, Mistress." The hawk demoness was obviously not used to the servant role, and her clothes pointed that out as well.

She had long, straight brown hair that was held in a low pony tail. She wore the out fit of a fighter, one like Sango's that clung to her form. The only way Kagome knew she was a hawk demon was the gold feathered wings sprouting from her shoulders and tucked against her back.

"Do you have a name?" Kagome attempted to lighten the mood a little.

"Yes, Mistress." was all she replied.

Kagome stood from the bed and stretched once more, wincing as her leg protested but ignored it, waiting for her to offer her name. After a moment, she realized she wasn't going to, so she asked, "And your name?"

"Kari, Mistress."

"Kari, that is a nice name. Would you do me a favor, and stop calling me Mistress. It makes me a little uneasy and it's too formal. My name is Kagome." Kagome smiled, and smiled wider when Kari lifted her gaze to look at her and smiled slightly.

"Hai." Kari stated barely above a whisper, then continued a little louder. "Lord Sesshomaru told me to show you to the hot springs in the castle then send you down for breakfeast. If you are ready, we shall go now."

"That sounds good, I'm ready now." Kagome nodded, indicating she'd follow Kari. Kari spun gracefully and opened the door. Kagome hobbled after, attempting to remember how to get to the hot springs. 'This place will take forever to memorize.' she thought, then frowned slightly. 'You won't be staying here long, so you don't have to memorize anything.'

Kari indicated a door, then noticed the bandage on Kagome's leg. "This is the room. If you need assistance, I will be of service. I will wait for you to finish right here."

"I will be fine, Kari. You don't need to wait, I think I know my way. Just meet me in my room whenever I need to be down at breakfeast." Kagome smiled, grasping the door handle. Kari bowed, then walked away, wings settling on her back.

Kagome quickly took a bath, though she would've liked to linger in the warm, steaming water, but she knew she had things she had to do. Breakfeast was one of those things. She hobbled back to her room wearing nothing but a towel. Once there, she found a new silver kimono and cloth for her wound laying on her now made bed. She quickly dressed and fixed the bandage. Kari appeared just as Kagome finished her wrappings.

"Are you ready Kagome?" Kari asked, peaking in the door.

"Yes." Kagome smiled back, then stood, looking down at herself. "Does this look good?"

Kari quickly looked her over, then smiled. "Yes. You look fine, Kagome." Kagome tugged at the kimono, making sure she looked good, then paused as a thought came unbidden. 'Why do you care what he thinks?'

"Ok, let's go." Kagome muttered, mentally smacking herself. 'This is Sesshomaru, Ice Prince. Why would I care if I look good or not? Oh well.'

Kagome followed Kari down a flight of stairs and into the dining room. The room was huge, a large oak table in the center. One whole wall was lined with windows allowing the morning light to filter in. Rin was sitting beside Sesshomaru, to his right, and talking about nothing paticular. Sesshomaru seemed to half listen, correcting her when she began to talk with her mouth full.

Sesshomaru was listening to Rin tell him about the flowers she had found yesterday when he heard a door open. He glanced towards the door, then froze. Kagome had walked in, her leg only bothering her slightly. Her long, black hair was pulled into a low pony tail, loose strands framing her face as she walked into the sun light.

Sesshomaru forced his gaze away and to swallow the food he currently had in his mouth.

"Rin thinks Kagome is pretty!" Rin squeeled happily as Kagome took a seat across from her, to Sesshomaru's left.

"Rin, not so loud." Sesshomaru muttered, the high pitched noise slightly hurting his ears. Kagome smiled at the small child who was still dressed in her pajamas.

"Does Sesshomaru think Kagome is pretty like Rin does?" Rin asked as if he hadn't said anything to her before. Kagome blushed slightly and looked at the plate before her. A servent came over and quickly served her. Sesshomaru chose not to answer that question, but glanced at her.

Rin, ever the chatter box, continued undaunted, "Will Kagome pick flowers with Rin after breakfeast?" The little girl looked hopeful as she stuffed her mouth full of strawberries. Kagome stifled a laugh at Rin, whose cheeks were puffed up.

"If Sesshomaru will allow me to." Kagome replied, finally looking at him. He saw the pleading in them. Tearing his gaze away from hers, he looked at Rin, who gave him puppy eyes.

"Do as you will." He sighed, Rin and Kagome breaking into grins.

"Thank you Sesshomaru!" Rin smiled even wider, if that was possible. She wiggled around in her seat, excited that she would have someone other then Jaken to play with.

"After you are done with Rin, come and see me. We have things to discuss." Sesshomaru stated, catching Kagome's eye to make sure she heard him.

"Of coarse Sesshomaru." Kagome stated, still smiling. Kagome looked at Sesshomaru, who's golden gaze caught hers. 'His eyes...they're...wow.' Came her scattered thoughts. Her gaze traveled from his eyes, to his perfect lips, to the purple stripes on his cheeks, and finally back to his eyes. She caught him smirking and blushed, realizing he had caught her checking him out.

Kagome became suddenly interested in her food, fighting the blush that threatened to darken across her face. During this whole time, Rin had continued to talk and was becoming somewhat impatient.

"Will Sesshomaru go out side with Kagome and Rin?" Rin questioned. Sesshomaru looked from the blushing miko to this ward.

He answered, "Perhaps." Rin began smiling in earnest. Sesshomaru continued to eat his food, occastionally gazing at the priestess sitting beside him. A thought popped into his mind, remembering her pink stained face,'She's cute when she blushes.'

He quickly pushed that thought away, snearing in his mind, 'Humans.'

The meal finished relatively quickly. Both Sesshomaru and Kagome were quiet while Rin had kept talking about nothing important. After the plates were cleared away, Sesshomaru excused himself then went to his study to take care of some work. Kagome was literally pulled by Rin outside, into the garden.

The rest of the day went by quickly. Kagome taught Rin a couple of games from her time and became attatched to the little girl. When it was starting to get dark, Jaken found them and told them it was time to come inside.

Kagome stayed in Rin's room until Rin feel asleep against her in the middle of her bed time story. Kagome slowly easer her off, then tucked her in, returning to her room.

In between Rin's room and her own room, she was surprised when she literally ran into Sesshomaru. She turned a corner and bumped into him. She almost fell to the floor, but strong arms caught her, steading her.

"You should be more careful, human." Sesshomaru stated, devoid of any emotion.

"I am sorry, Sesshomaru." Kagome smiled slightly, then added, "You can let go of me now." His arms quickly returned to his side.

"You forgot we were to talk today." Sesshomaru broke the uncomfortable silence.

"Oh! I knew I forgot something." Kagome muttered, wincing. 'I hope he doesn't get mad.' she thought, dropping her gaze to the floor.

"Come." he simply said, turning on his heel and walking down the hall way. Kagome followed, surprised he took it so calmly. Sesshomaru walked to the end of the hall, opening one of the two double doors there.

He held the door open for her, signaling for her to go in. Kagome stepped in, wondering where she was until she got a good look around. She gasped, the room was filled with books. Tons of them! Shelves apon shelves of books and scrolls filled the room. In the center was a desk, most likely Sesshomaru's, and a small wooden table close by, with coloring utensils. That had to be Rin's. She held back a giggle, picturing Sesshomaru sitting at at little wooden table coloring.

Sesshomaru walked past her, sitting at his desk and glancing at the message sitting on it, before tucking it away.

"What did you wish to talk about?" Kagome asked, sitting in a chair across from where he sat.

"About your stay here." he replied, his unwavering golden eyes holding her brown ones. Kagome was silent so he could continue.

"It seems Rin has taken a liking to you. She has need of some other company other then Jaken, and since you seem qualified, I am requesting you." Sesshomaru stated in a dull, flat voice.

"Your...asking me...to stay?" Kagome asked, frowning in confusion. 'Sesshomaru, the one youkai that has tried multiple times to kill me, wishes for me to stay? Am I dreaming this?'

"I will not repeat myself, wench." he replied. Kagome's confusion disappeared at the refrence to 'wench' and was replaced by anger.

"My name is NOT wench, or human, or anything else you might come up with. If you expect me to stay, the least you could do is call me by my name! KA-GO-ME!" she snapped, then stared wide-eyed and slack jawed at what she just did. 'Now, this is where he rips my head off.'

She could see the anger in his smoldering golden eyes, and saw his body tense. "Do not rise your voice to me, wench." He put emphasis on the last word.

The fear for her life flew right at the window at the taunt, and she scowled at the Youkai lord in front of her. "You know, for a Demon Lord, you sure are rude."Kagome growled, glaring at him even after he stood up.

"Watch your tongue, human." he growled back, his glare more intimidating then Kagome's ever could be.

"KA-GO-ME!" she snapped back, standing up as well. In a blink of an eye, he was standing right in front of her.

Sesshomaru looked down at the girl in front of him, boldly meeting his gaze even though he could kill her. His blood was boiling, but not from rage. Her defiance sparked something in him. He couldn't smell any fear on her, another thing that was driving him nuts.

"You know, more people would respect you if you weren't so cold. You think you're better then every one." Kagome continued while her mind screamed 'STOP'. She noticed he was right in front of her, a low growl eminating from his chest.

"Stop." Sesshomaru barely growled out. She was driving him crazy right now. He wanted to make her submissive, he wanted to see her squirm beneath him. Her anger flared desire in him and his control was slipping.

"See! There you go making orders and just expecting...."Kagome trailed off as she realized just how close he was, the heat rolling off his body in waves. His eyes had flecks of red in them, but he didn't look angry. On the contrary, he looked at her like he was hungry. She unconciously took a step back and to her distress he followed.

'I should've shut up! I'm such a BAKA!' her mind screamed. She was brought back to reality when she felt her back hit the wall.

"Uh, Sessho...." her words were cut off when he leaned against her, his lips brushing against her neck.

He took a deep breath, breathing in her scent. It was like spring rain and jasmine. He gently brushed his lips against the point where her neck met her shoulder, his body pressing against her.

'What is going on?! I thought he was going to kill me, not... that.' her thoughts were cut off when he claimed her lips in a quick, harsh kiss. She barely had a chance to respond when he pulled back. She opened her eyes to discover him standing behind his desk, his back to her.

"I think you should go." he growled slightly. He knew that if she didn't leave soon, he would lose control and probably regret it later on. But right now, she needed to leave.

She looked at his back for a moment longer, then swiftly turned and left. 'What just happened there?' she thought, walking quickly to her room.
