Chapter 3: Making a statement

AN: Hey everyone just letting you know that I changed my pen name to stargazer528

Sesshomaru’s POV

I continued to stare at the lovely woman in front of me and what I saw shocked me; not only were her hands glowing both pink and blue a combination not known to see in mikos but her eyes were also glowing, the right was blue and the other was pink. This made him wonder.

‘What kind of miko is this girl?’ he thought

The miko fell to the ground like she was in pain and grabbed her head as if she had a major migraine, she had her legs crouched under her and was bent over in pain. I did not know what to do I had never had to deal with a crying woman before even Rin (the little girl that is in his care) never cried like this.

“AHHHHHHH!” she screamed in pain

‘Alright that is it enough is enough’ I thought as I sprang forward to help her. For some reason I could not stand to see her cry out and be in pain.

Kagome’s POV

I knew this was bad, my miko powers never got out of control and the last this happened well let’s just say that not a lot of people would go near me after that little accident and ours crops were the worst that year. As I struggled to control the power inside me I noticed that Lord stick-up–his-ass was just staring at me not even moving a muscle to help me. As I continued to glare at him I felt another jolt of pain shot through my body and cringed away from “The Lord” so that he would not see me in pain (I do not like to show my pain to people because then I might make them feel bad). I was just about to run away so I could release all this extra energy, but I felt Sesshomaru wrap his arms around my waist and then I suddenly heard soothing purrs in my ear and just like that I fell asleep in his arms.

Sesshomaru’s POV

When I sprang forward to help the goddess before me I just expecting myself to just tell her to calm down and stop crying, but instead I unintentionally wrapped my arms around her tiny waist and started doing something I had not done in a very long time… I started purring in order to calm her down. Apparently it did the trick and she fell asleep in my arms; I looked down at her and began to memorize her face. Her face was completely flawless unlike other poor village girls whose faces are red with exhaustion, dry and rough, but her face was smooth and delicate. Her beautiful black hair that when the light hit it just right looked like it had natural blue highlights, it framed her face making her look like the tenshi which she obliviously was.

Regular POV

‘Well I have what I wanted; I have her so now I can leave right?’ thought the Great Lord

‘WRONG! I smell a pup on her; she has a pup at her home. We must take her to her pup… then we can take her to the castle along with her child so she won’t get mad at us.’ His inner demon pointed out

‘Good idea’

‘What would you do without me?’

‘Probably have a lot less headaches’

As he finished up talking to his inner demon he picked Kagome up in his arms and sped off to where she lived. It was then that he didn’t know where she lived so he followed to where her scent lead to and found a small hut, well actually it was more of a shack. Sesshomaru looked at it in disgust and smelled something. He found that his inner demon was right there was a child inside, but what surprised him was that the smell that the child was giving off was that of a demon.

‘Interesting she is housing a demon pup, but why?’

Sesshomaru walked into her “house” and set her down on what looked like a bed, he went to look around for a moment and noticed paintings of her family; they looked familiar for some reason but he couldn’t quite place them. All of a sudden he heard growling in the background; Sesshomaru turned around and saw a small fox cup standing in the doorway trying to look menacing when it obliviously was not working on the King.

Sesshomaru gave the kit a glare and saw him back down and run to Kagome’s unconscious body, he crawled under the covers to try and hid from the demon now standing in the small hut. Sesshomaru shook his head.

‘Ridiculous, this kit just ran off like a small child, coward’

‘Oh gee I wonder why he ran off like a small child umm maybe it’s because he is one! You know for a smart, handsome, rich demon you sure are stupid’

‘You just used an oxymoron and you are calling me stupid’

After his battle with his inner self he walked over to the bed where the kit lay hidden, he threw the covers off of him careful not to wake Kagome and looked at him sternly; the kit in question only scrunched up in a tighter ball, with his hands over his head and eyes shut tightly. He sighed to himself and picked up the kit by his collar forcing him to look him in the eye.

“Kit look at this Sesshomaru.”

He opened his eyes and just stared at him for a minute or two, then gasped.

“Hey you’re Lord Sesshomaru… what did you do to my mother?”

‘Mother?’

“Your mother? How can she be your mother if you are a full demon and she is a mere human?”

“Kagome-chan adopted me when she found me in her backyard all alone. Then I told her that my parents were killed by two demons and that is when she took me in and feed me and gave me a home with her.”

“How long have you been here with her?”

“Umm… about maybe two years I think.”

‘Interesting she adopted this kit like it was her own even though she is a miko and mikos are supposed destroy demons she took in this little without giving it any thought. I must question this woman further.’

“moan Ugh what happened?” the sound came from Kagome

“MAMA!” screamed Shippo

Sesshomaru winced at the kit’s high pitched volume. He wiggled out of Sesshomaru’s grasp and hopped over to his mother. He landed on her lap as she was getting up. Kagome noticed Sesshomaru wince at the sound Shippo made.

“Umm sweetie could you tone it done you are hurting Lord Sesshomaru’s ears?”

“Uh?” Shippo said before looking at the Lord in his house, “Oops I’m sorry Lord Sesshomaru I didn’t mean to hurt you.” Sesshomaru only nodded. He looked at Kagome giving her a look that said ‘we need to talk in private’ She nodded

“Um Shippo sweetie why don’t you go play outside with the ball I made for you”

He smiled as big as Rin, “Ok Mama” and he bounded out of the house dragging a round looking thing outside with him.

After he left Kagome turned back to the handsome demon standing in front of her.

“So what is it you wish to speak about?”

‘She speaks very well for a peasant.’

“I want to know what happened out in the forest why you fell to the ground in pain.”

“Well as you have probably already guessed I have extraordinary miko powers that surpass many of the strongest and I do not mean to sound as if I am bragging, but everyone that I have every met has told me that. Anyway I have so much power that sometimes when I feel that I am in danger or something like that my powers seem to grow a mind of their own and act on their own, when that happens they protect me anyway they can, unfortunately they get out of control because I have not learned to master all of my powers yet so it causes me immense pain. The only way to relieve the pain is to get rid of all the extra energy that I have, but…”

“But…” her wanted her to continue

“But when I release that energy afterwards it looks like a great battle had just taken place, everything gets destroyed and if I am near trees they burn oh its horrible!” as she finished her long explanation Kagome broke down crying even though she didn’t want to her body was not listening.

Sesshomaru looked at the crying girl he still did not know what to do.

‘Hmmm what should I do; oh yes I know something that will calm her down’

He walked over to the sobbing girl sat down next to her and moved behind her; he pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her waist yet again. Suddenly he started purring again and his purrs vibrated throughout her entire body, he felt Kagome stiffen in his arms, but he continued to purr.

‘Hmm this is not so bad’

‘Yeah this is actually pretty nice… you know what I want her’

‘…Say that again’

‘I…want…her’

‘…Seriously’

‘Well why not I mean she’s beautiful, powerful, caring look at how she takes care of that kit and it’s not even hers.’

‘You may have a point’

‘Damn right I have a point. I mean you even said yourself that having her there in our lap wasn’t so bad.’

‘True I did say that’

‘Plus, with her around the castle Rin will have someone to play with and will stop bugging us when we are busy and … did I mention beautiful?’

‘Yes… you are right for once she would make the perfect mate for us. Very well I will bring her back to the castle with us so we can have her as our mate.’

‘But we must bring the kit along for I sense that she will not go without him.’

‘Very well… oh she’s calming down I must get back to our lady’

And just like that he ended the conversation with himself and stared down at the young woman in his arms. She began to breathe normally and looked up at the demon holding her; she let out a small eep and tried to jump out of his lap but he just tightened his hold on her. Kagome looked down and noticed that he wasn’t going to let go.

“Umm could you let me go please I need to check on Shippo” she lied; the miko knew that the small fox demon was fine but this was an awkward position.

The demon Lord looked like he was thinking about it then finally he looked at the girl-woman sitting in his lap; she shifted uncomfortably under his gaze and in doing so bushed her butt up against his tool without knowing, but he sure noticed it and tried to suppress a moan.

“So are you going to let me go or do I have to hurt you” the female near him said

‘Wow that sounded dirty’ ‘You pervert’ He looked at Kagome again, “I do not know I kind of like it here” now that made Kagome mad.

“Excuse me! I said let go of me or do want me to blast you like I did Koga cause I have pretty good aim and I would hate for you to not have kids one day” she threatened. Sesshomaru stared wide eyed at the girl who had the nerve to yell at him twice in one day; this girl was fascinating and he wanted her and Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands always gets what he wants, but this girl might be hard for him to acquire.

“Hello is anybody home? Hey I’m talkin’ to you jackass!”

That snapped him back to reality, he noticed that when the beauty in front of him got really mad her speech was that of a mere commoner’s oh well he didn’t care the fact that she would call him a jackass made him want her even more than before.

“I am going to make you a proposition”

“What kind of proposition?”

“Well you need to control your miko powers and well I need someone to watch Rin because Jaken is just not good enough anymore”

“Who is Rin?”

“Rin is a little girl about seven years old that I saved one day, now she lives with me and my servant Jaken is suppose to look after her, but he has issues with humans and half breeds, so he is quite mean to her and lately he has been hitting her so…” he couldn’t finish.

“THAT BASTARD HOW DARE HE HIT AN INNOCENT CHILD! I’M GOING TO KILL HIM!” she screamed almost causing Sesshomaru to go deaf. She turned to look at Sesshomaru, who was behind her because she had managed to jump out of lap in her rage, “Oh my gosh I’m so sorry I forgot about your sensitive hearing I…” she stopped she noticed that she was out of his lap and bolted for the door.

Sesshomaru smirked, ‘I do love a good chase’ and he ran after her

In the forest

‘I can’t believe I got away from him thank god the way he was holding me made me feel weird. Good thing I told Shippo to go inside before I left’ the young miko thought as she ran from the great demon.

As she was running she felt a strong demonic presence behind her and gaining on her fast, she burst into a speed not known to humans and sped off faster than any human wished they could go. It seemed the faster she went the faster he went, it wouldn’t be long before he caught up to her. After awhile of running, zigzagging, and dodging (she pulled back branches so they would hit him) Sesshomaru finally caught up to his prey.

He jumped her and pinned the tiny woman to the ground; the young lord saw her struggling to get out of his grasp, he bent his head down and sniffed in her scent.

‘Hmm… Honey and strawberries’

He lifted his head back up to see that Kagome was staring at him with those big blue eyes, he then started wondering if her lips tasted just like her scent smelled… only one way to find out. He crashed his lips onto hers in a searing kiss, he was right she did taste like honey and strawberries; he nipped at her bottom lip asking for entrance which she unintentionally gave to him but it didn’t matter to him as long as he got inside her mouth. He explored her luscious cavern and enjoyed every minute of it; it wasn’t until he had gotten his tongue inside her mouth that Kagome realized what she was doing and who she was doing it with.

The enraged miko shoved him off of her and glared at him whole heartedly; he looked at her with amusement in his eyes, the demon lord slowly started crawling towards her and that scared her. She started to crawl away backwards but Sesshomaru beat her to it; he grabbed her from around the waist and started running through the forest with her back to her home.

“PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTITE! I DEMAND THAT YOU RELEASE YOU PERVERTED HORNY DEMON!” she screamed not really caring if she hurt his hearing or not.

As they neared her house Sesshomaru thought about how he was going to teach her to be respectful of her mate and to obey him of course, but he knew she would not go down without a fight and he was prepared this time.

“I SAID PUT ME DOWN!” and just like that she let a little bit of miko energy out and he dropped her like a hot tomalley.

“AHHHHHHHH” he screamed. Sesshomaru was furious and yet at the same time turned on.

Kagome picked herself up and started running back towards her hut, it wasn’t until she was half way there that he remember his proposition

‘I am such an idiot why don’t I just take the job of watching Rin and then that way I can provide for Shippo better’ so she stopped running and waited for him to catch up; which didn’t take long.

As he came crashing through the trees the demon lord saw the annoying miko he had been chasing just sitting there as if she was waiting for him… maybe she was waiting for him. He stalked over to where she was and sat down next to her; they just sat there in silence for what seemed like forever until she opened her mouth.

“I will go with you”

“Really… well then…”

“So I can take care of Rin and get her away from that horrible toad and plus Shippo needs a better place to stay so I figure with all this extra money I will be able to buy a better house”

“You will live in the castle”

“Really?”

“…”

“Ok what ever floats your boat. When do we leave?”

“Depends, how many things do you what to bring with you?”

“I have no need for such paraphernalia, but Shippo will want to bring that ball of his”

“He will have no need; Rin has better ones that he can play with”

“But I made him that ball he loves it” she gave him a sad hurt look

“Alright fine he can bring it. Is that all?”

“Yes, so when do we leave”

“Now” He grabbed her and sped off to get the kit.

When he had the kit and the girl he sped off to his castle to bring home his future mate the only thing is… she doesn’t know about being his mate.
