Kagome let her eyes flicker and adjust to the shining sun, that was seeping through the leaves above her. Her mind felt groggy and full of cotton as she tried to remember how she had come beneath the trees. She considered that maybe she had fallen asleep and this whole youkai thing had been a dream, but with one look at her claws, that idea was quickly squashed.

Her head was still pounding, and for some reason, Kagome couldn't help but feel that this was deja-vu.

"Stupid, stupid head, with your stupid pain and your stupid ..ughh"

She realized she was talking to herself again, which was probably not a good thing, but all things considered she decided that she should be allowed some crazy time.

Letting her head gently fall to the side, so her cheek was laying against the ground, she stared at something white, red and fluffy. Her eyes moved across this strange sight until they landed on another pair of eyes. These eyes did not look amused, in fact, they look absolutely lethal.

Quickly moving her eyes to anywhere but the unamused piercing golden eyes. Which was a hard task because his eyes where extremely beautiful.
Oh.. crap. Her mind supplied as she wondered how she had gotten to be the subject of those unforgiving eyes.

Pushing herself into a some what more dignified sitting position, Kagome turned her weary and nervous gaze, to meet the amber look of death. She had thought that this name seemed appropriate.

"Umm..." she stated unintelligibly.

Recognition flashed across her mind as she stared at the stoic dai-youkai sitting across from her. Sesshomaru, her mind helpfully supplied as she continued to stare. Why is Inuyasha's brother here..? I thought he wanted to kill me? She suddenly felt extremely happy about her recent transformation, as she now realized that Sesshomaru must not recognize her.

Since she was so wrapped up in her own thoughts, she had almost missed what Sesshomaru had said.

"Do not gawk female, it is irritating." His expression had remained the same, and Kagome felt a twinge of annoyance at the lack of emotion he showed, he seemed to be constantly bored.

Gaining courage from her annoyance, Kagome said the first things that came to her mind.

"First of all, my name is Kagome , Ka...go...me. Not female ! And secondly ! How do you have any right to call me irritating , when you have that stupid same expression all the time, which is really annoying ! And stop looking at me like that"

She felt as if she where about to scream, his expression had not changed once throughout her entire rant except for a slight widening of his eyes and one eyebrow rising. How can he look so bored!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshomaru had been leaning against a tree in his normal manner, his eyes focused on the youkai a few meters away. His sensitive hearing could hear his ward and retainers quiet calm breathing as they slept a short distance away in the trees. He had felt it safer if they be no where near the mysterious youkai when she woke, as he had no idea how she would react to their presence and he could not afford to have to kill her so quickly if she decided to attack them.

He was actually reconsidering his previous decision to keep her alive for answers, as her recent rant had left him utterly shocked and ready to kill. He usually had a pretty good control of keeping his expressions in check, but for some reason this infuriating female had him close to snapping.

With an arch of his eyebrow, Sesshomaru forced his voice into one of boredom and kept his glare on the now named Kagome.

"Kagome? This name is familiar." Sesshomaru filed this new piece of information away in his mind for later use.

He watched with amusement as Kagome's expression changed from one of anger, to frustration, disbelief, and then landing on embarrassment. The last one had confused him, for he could not understand the reasoning to be embarrassed at a name. Deciding this was probably not important, he watched as Kagome raised of the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome could not belive her stupid mistake, Why did I tell him my name ! What if he figures it out and kills me.. Oh well done Kagome!

She had turned with her back to him then, "I'm not quite sure how I got here, and why you are here Sesshomaru is a mystery to me but if you will excuse me.."

With those final words she had ran. She had no idea where she was going and was not quite used to the special ability's of a youkai. She wished she could find that river from before, as her back pack was still there, and she did not feel comfortable in this elegant kimono.

She enjoyed running though, her hair flowing behind her in an silky stream felt amazing, and the wind on her face was calming. That was a close one.. She thought to herself, words of relief flying around her head.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshomaru was actually in disbelief. No-one, had ever left his presence without his permission, and the actual fact that this youkai, and a female at that, had done so, was unforgivable in his eyes.

Lifting to his feet in one graceful movement, Sesshomaru breathed in and was suddenly moving in a blur towards the scent of moon flowers. His thoughts where a mess as he tried to contain his youkai from seeping out at this clear insult.

His eyes narrowed when he caught sight of the female, speeding his pace slightly. His arm at the ready as his strong fingers made contact with her throat, slamming her body into the nearest tree with the force. His claws pricked her throat, making small droplets of blood slide down her pale slender neck.

Eyes seeping with red as his youkai fought for control,and the sight of her blood not easing the struggle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome could feel the rough bark of the tree digging into her spine, the slight uncomfort barley noticeable as her main focus was of the furious daiyoukai pressed against her.

She had not even had enough time to scream when he had made impact, her eyes wide with shock as leaves fell down around them.

The thing she noticed the most though, was that his usually stoic expression was one of anger, disbelief and maybe even amusement. The image took her breath away, and not because she was afraid, but he looked so different, so much more alive!

She stood motionless, watching as the red from his eyes slowly dissipated and return to their normal overly calm gold. Her body seemed to be on fire from wherever he touched her, and she wasn't sure if it was from fear or just adrenaline.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sesshomaru had never felt so out of control in his entire life. He had always been able to keep his face clear of emotion under all kinds of situations but this female, this one known as Kagome, knocked down every wall with ease. He was infuriated with himself but more with this female.

He breathed in deeply, immersing himself in the calm of her scent. He was surprised when he caught no scent of fear. Now staring down at the infuriating female, he couldn't help but feel slightly amused by the look of utter defiance on her face. He had never been challenged this much by a female.

Pulling his expression back into his mask of indifference, he narrowed his eyes at the female beneath his claws.

"You are to stay with this Sesshomaru, if you disobey again, you will die."

With those cold words that left no room for discussion, Sesshomaru released his grasp on Kagome. Turning and making his way back the way they had come, he brought his hand towards his mouth, licking the droplets of blood, Kagome's blood, that had gatherd there.
