"KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Sesshoumaru didn't even bother to glance away from the papers as he heard the miko's voice pierce through the mansion. He had expected as much when he sent Jaken to wake her.

"SESSHOUMARU-SAMA! HELP!" He did however look up when he heard Jaken's voice follow the miko's. He fought hard to hold back a wistful sigh then bounded down the halls to save his worthless servant.

As the youkai Lord slid open the door to the miko's room he effortlessly caught the toad-youkai as he went flying past. Setting the dizzy youkai on the floor he glared over to the girl.

Kagome was standing with her feet apart but her knees together and was panting through her clenched teeth. She gave the poor toad-youkai the most evil glare Sesshoumaru had ever seen a human give. He was slightly impressed by the power she showed in maiming the poor toad.

Jaken finally recovered and glared at the young miko. "What is your problem human?!"

Kagome gave a small growl and moved a step closer to them. Jaken scampered behind Sesshoumaru's leg. She finally looked up at him her expression softening a little.

"What's the big idea?! Why did you bring me here?" Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed a little more as the miko demanded an explanation. He would give none.

"Do not hassle my servants. If I find you throwing them around again I will not be as… lenient." He turned to leave as Jaken scampered out of the room and away.

"You never gave me an explanation." He turned slightly to face her.

"I offered none." At this she scowled at the great Lord.

"You owe me that much." She said almost calmly. He could tell the anger was building up in her and she was fighting it from coming out.

"I owe you nothing." He turned to leave again as she stood gaping at him.

"You…you ungrateful BASTARD!" Her blood was boiling and the heat from it was becoming contagious. Sesshoumaru was suddenly in front of the woman his hand around her neck.

"No, bitch, your mate is the bastard and I didn't ask you to assist me." His nails were starting to break the delicate flesh around her neck and to him, the scent of her blood, anger, and fear were intoxicating. "We are still enemies and I owe you NOTHING." He abruptly let go of the girl and she stood her ground. She didn't even move to touch her wounds or cower away from him. This surprised him. He at least expected her to touch the fresh wounds on her neck but she didn't. She just glared up at him.

"Then why haven't you killed me? Why did you bring me here if we're enemies?" She spoke through her teeth as she was fighting not to explode again.

Why indeed. That question had been haunting him since the miko started washing his wound, he could have killed her at any moment. The other he'd been contemplating since he arrived with the unconscious miko in his arms…his arms as in two. Perhaps that was it? Did he feel that he, indeed, did owe her?

"My reasons are my own." He finally stated. He was not about to admit to the woman that he didn't even know why he had brought her here. He should have killed her and dumped her at his half brother's feet.

Kagome sighed. "Fine. One: Inuyasha isn't my mate and two: when can I leave?" Ah, another good question. He narrowed his eyes at her again. 'She is not leaving. Why? I know not, but she will stay here. And Rin could use…Rin!'

"You are here for Rin. You are not leaving." With that he stalked out of the room, slid the door shut and walked away.

'Good. Rin will now have some else to bother and the miko will not be going back to the hanyou. She is not leaving.' The youkai Lord growled to himself. 'Why is it my concern where the girl goes? No matter. It is for Rin.' And just for Rin…riiiight.

"This is all your fault!" Sango had to hold the Kitsune away from Inuyasha as they fought. The only person who could stop Inuyasha from hurting the poor kit was now in the possession of Sesshoumaru. Sango glared at the hanyou with a deadly force.

"He's right you know. If you hadn't angered Kagome-chan she wouldn't have gone out there alone." She spoke as calmly as she could and her grip tightened on the Kit.

"FINE! Gang-up on me! See if I care!" Inuyasha fumed as he glared at Sango and Shippou. Miroku put a hand on his shoulder.

"How do you know that Sesshoumaru has Kagome-sama?" He asked calmly. He was the only one trying to assess the situation instead of trying to lay blame. Inuyasha huffed.

"I know what my brother smells like, bouzou. I can smell the way Kagome and Sesshoumaru's scents mingled for a while. He had to be touching her for that kind of scent to happen." He glared over at Shippou who was growling at him.

"Anything else, Inuyasha?" Miroku waited patiently as Inuyasha thought.

"Yeah…there was something about Sesshoumaru's scent. It seemed…husky kinda. Like when demons are in heat." He gave an undignified snort. "But that's not possible. Sesshoumaru doesn't do that kind of thing." Sango's eye brows rose slightly and Shippou started to sniffle.

"He's not…he's not gonna try to mate with Kagome is he?" Shippou asked between sniffles. Inuyasha almost face-faulted. Sango and Miroku looked shocked.

"No!" All three yelled at the same time, then they exchanged glances.

"You don't think that…maybe…" Sango started hesitantly and they all looked at each other with dread. She didn't need to finish asking.

Suddenly they were all dashing around collecting their things and getting ready to go find their friend.

Kagome sighed and sat down on the rim of the fountain. He finally allowed her out of the large room and she had hoped to find a way out. Course not. Too easy. At least she could have some peace and quiet.

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin's bored!"

Or not.

Kagome looked over to the general area where the little girl's voice came from. Sesshoumaru was looking directly at Kagome and Rin followed his gaze. She gasped suddenly then smiled as she ran toward the miko.

"Kagome-oneesan!" Kagome tried her hardest to smile at the running girl as she finally reached her and hugged her chubby arms around the miko's waist. "Sesshoumaru-sama didn't tell Rin that Kagome-oneesan was coming!" Kagome looked up at him as he slowly approached the human girls.

"Yeah, well it was a bit of a surprise for us too." She gave a curt nod to Sesshoumaru then pried Rin off of her. "Could you give us a minute?" Rin smiled sweetly then bounded off. Kagome stood but her eyes were on Rin. She didn't see Sesshoumaru staring at her.

She looked different in the silk kimono he had provided for her. Instead of the indecent short green and white kimono she wore before she wore a long, elegant, blood-red kimono fit for a princess. She was beautiful for a human, even Sesshoumaru had to admit that. He hated it but he admitted it.

He already knew there was something different about this human. She had…slightly…aroused him back in the forest. Her soft touches, warms hands, dizzying scent…the girl was intoxicating. Once again he could feel the heat running through his body just from the thought of the forest when she was straddling him. This time he was able to push it away before the images came.

She finally decided to break the silence that had formed that left Sesshoumaru to his…annoying thoughts and sighed softly.

"You wont let me leave, will you?" She broke her gaze from the playing child to look at Sesshoumaru. Again she was a little shocked at the look in his eyes. If it had been anyone else she would have called it lust. But Sesshoumaru didn't feel lust…he didn't feel anything. Right?

"No." He took a step toward her. She countered but her legs hit the rim of the fountain. She glanced down at it then back up to him. He could smell the fear that was resonating from her and it only made his blood boil more.

"Why?" Her voice was just a little too breathy for her tastes. He towered over her, just an inch away. Either he needed to back up or she needed to stop being afraid because the whole situation was only arousing him more and more. He didn't want the wench to stop fearing him so forced himself to take a step back.

"You," He growled low in his throat. "Are mine now. You will stay here for as long as I want you too." He turned to stalk away but she grabbed his arm. He turned back growling low in his throat. He tried to tell himself that the reason he was growling was because she had dared to touch him but he knew better.

"Sesshoumaru, please. I have a home where I belong. I can't stay here." She didn't like having to beg to him but she had to get her point across. She flinched when he pulled him arm free of her and glared at her.

"No." It was all he said as he stalked away leaving the woman with tears threatening to fall down her face. It was hopeless. He wasn't going to let her go back and he was acting strange, even by his standards. Kagome sat down on the fountain ledge again and buried her face in her hands, still fighting the tears that were coming.

Sesshoumaru mentally cursed himself as he made his way back to his study. 'What in the seven hells is this woman doing to me?' He growled at the fuzziness in his head. Her scent seemed to do that to him and it annoyed him. Once again he thought that he should just go back to the garden and kill the miko bitch, even if it upset Rin. But he couldn't…why? What power did this miko have over him? Why did her scent affect him like this? He would find out. If nothing else he would find out why her scent affected him so much. He's the one with the power and he needed to get the bitch out of his head.

With that decision he changed course and headed to his hot springs to relax.
