I don't own anything and sorry about the spelling.

Kagome Hojo walked through her private garden, alone as usual.  Her husband,Hojo Akitoki was away again, on a buisness trip to Korea.  She sighed as she sat on a bench and played with the skeleton key in her pocket, a gift from her husband.  It went to a mysterous room she wasn't allowed to go in, That stll ddn't make any sense.  Usually she was okay with that but with nothing better to do.  Hojo was about to find out a bored Kagome is a curious Kagome, just ask InuYasha, her best friend, his poor ears where really as soft as they looked. Kagome got up and brushed some imaginary dirt off her dress.  Then she went streight towards the mysteruos upstairs room her husband spent so much time in when he was home.   Excited, she slipped in the key and turned.  

The door swung open and she pulled out the key, clutching it in her hand nervously. Kagome felt around for a light, When she found it, she closed her eyes so it wouldn't blind her.  All the while wondering what that horrible smell was.  When she opened her eyes she gasped, dropping the key as she went to cover her mouth. There on a surgical table lay Rin, InuYasha's adopted niece.  She had disappeared a week ago from her favorite amusement park resaulting in the death of Jaken, her care taker whom she had ran away from. The girl was one of many her age who had vanished. Kagome was afraid of few people, Sesshoumaru, Rin's adopted father was definatly one of those few.  Now, so was her husband, who had a death wish appearently.

 She had to be seeing things.  Her boring, gentle husband couldn't possbly be that stupd.  Slowly Kagome walked up to the girl praying she was havng a nightmare.  She looked down at Rin's face, pale and colorless.  She saw herself reflected in the girls once viberant brown eyes, clouded over in death as she gently touched Rin's frigid cheek.

"Oh God!"  Kagome exclaimed as she backed away suddenly.

This was real, sweet lttle Rin really was on a cold metal slab bound by leather staps in her house.  She spun towards the door feeling nausous and about ready to cry. Kagome froze partway as she met the cold dead gaze of another missing girl.

"Oh god!

She ran out of the door slamming it behind her.  Pulling out her cell phone, Kagome spent the next half an hour in the bathroom on the phone wth the police tip line.  When she heard her huband call out to her, she hung up and stumbled out of the bathroom.

"Are you all right love?  He asked her, concerned.

'Crap.' She thought, then gave her husband a smile and a hug. "I'll be fine.  How was your trip?"

"Productive. Are you sure your okay?"

"That's good.  Yeah, I'm sure.  Do you think maybe tomarrow you could run nto town and get a pregnancy test?"  Kagome asked, hoping he'd take the bait.

His eyes widened and he grinned.  "Of course! I can do that Now!" He cried in hs excitement.

"Really?  He nodded.  Thank you!"  Kagome said, hugging him.

Hojo turned on his heel and practically ran from the house.  Kagome sighed wth relief and waited by the window hoping the police took her tip seriously.  If she didn't she'd go directly to Sesshoumaru and InuYasha. No doubt her husband would pay.  Absently, Kagome put her hand in her pocket and froze.  The key wasn't there.  She suddenly remembered dropping it in Hojo's torture chamber.   She never picked it up again. Panicked she got to her feet and ran, hoping to find it before Hojo got home.  She had almost reached the door when it opened. She sld to a stop as Hojo stepped out.

"Looking for this?" He asked.  

His voice flat, hs expersson devoid of emotion.

"I-I..."  Kagome stuttered to afraid to form words.

He stepped toward her and she stepped back.

 "I told you to stay out of that room."  He said taking another step forwards.  

Then his expression turned sadistic.  "Now I'll have to punish you."  

Kagome shook her head."I don't want to but you've forced my hand."

"I'm sorry."  Kagome said.

"It's to late."  Hojo said, then lunged. Kagome dodged.  

"Why are are you doing this?!"  She cried as she dodged again.

"You had no right to hurt them!."

 He tackled her, pinning her to the ground. Kagome snarled, baring her teeth and Hojo laughed.  

"They're my property Love!" He explained.

Then he leaned down next to her ear. "And so are you."

Kagome's eyes widened then narrowed. She grit her teeth and brought her knee up as hard as she could.  Hojo's girp loosened and she took off toward the stairs in an effort to get to the door. Hojo grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back.  Kagome turned and raked her dull nails down his face.  Cursing, Hojo pushed her agaist the railing.

"Was going to honor you by making  you a part of my collection." Hissed.  "But a traitor doesn't deserve thngs like that."

Kagome responded by spitting n his face.  Whith a roar Hojo picked her up and threw her over the railing.  Before she could respond there was a crash and the sound of splinterng wood.  She found herself engulfed in white and she looked up to see Sesshoumaru.  He was focused on Hojo who appeard terrifed,  The Inugami however remaind expressionless as he shifted her wieght and raised his hand.  As it began to glow a sickly green the ar flled with the scent of jasmine.  

"What?"  She whispered in awe.

"Dokkaso."  He stated dspassionatly as he flcked s wrist sending a serpentine strand of green liquid whipping towards Hojo.  

The man had no time to make a sound as the poson sizzled through him adding the smell of flesh burning to the perfumed air.  Sesshoumaru then gently landed and released her.

"Where is she?"  He asked.

Knowing who he was talking about Kagome lead him to the room.  The normally stoic Youkai went in ahead of her and lifted Rin's body.  She dared look up and was shocked to see hm clutching the girl desperately as he kneeled in the congealed blood on the floor.  Feelng like she was unworthy to witness such a scene Kagome looked away.

"Thank you."

Supirsed again, Kagome looked at the youkai who had spoken.  He was standing now, Rin in his arms, tears running down his face.

"F-for what? I' was to late."

Before he could answer they heard sirins approaching.  With a nod in her directon Sesshoumaru disappeared leaving her to deal wth the police.

Some time later Kagome found herself living in a one room apartment having sold off her husbands assets to help with the funerals of his victims.  She had changed her last name to Higurashi and was working as a waitress in a fancy restaraunt.    The job was exhausting but being independant was worth the achy feet. It wasn't suprsing then that by time she got home she was out of it.  That is most likely why she didn't notce her guest. She had just stripped down to her underwear when the smooth baritone of a man cleared the mental fog. 

"Such a small den."

Kagome jumped and turned to face the intruder, even more shocked to see who it was.

"Seshoumaru?" She asked.  

She hadn't seen him since he had retrieved Rin's body. The Inugami was reclining casually against the door frame to her balcony, his arms crossed.  He dressed in a white yakuta, the full moon and street lights giving him an almost angelic glow.  Sesshoumaru straightened and began to circle her.

"What are you doing?"  Kagome asked nervously.

"Rin was so upset with me."  He murmered from behind her.  "She wouldn't speak to me." On her left now. Kagome watched him out of the corner of her eye. She was pretty sure the man had lost it.

"W-why?"  Kagome asked the man who was in front of her.

"Somehow, she got it in her head that she wanted a mother."  He stated running a delicate looking claw down her throat slowly, sending shiverd down her spine. Kagome gulped then spoke.  

"Why are you telling me this?" She asked trying to catch her breath, daring not to move.

"She wanted you."  Kagome's eyes widened at this.  "I told her no. She ran away. Your mate killed her, how could you not of known?"  He asked from behind her now.

He slowly wrapped his arms behind her and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"I-I don't know."  Kagome answered triying to fight off the guilt that had haunted her.  "If I had I would have stopped him sooner."

Sesshoumaru buried his nose in her slender neck inhaling her scent.  He hmmed against her, his long toungue snaking out to taste her.  Kagome looked at thier reflection in her slidng glass doors noting the red glow in Sesshoumaru's eyes.  He was most definatly not in his right mind

"I'm sorry"  Kagome whispered.  "I understand some of how you feel, but you know Rin better then anybody"  At the mention of hs foster daughter he froze, his eyes narrowed.  "She loved you more then anything."  He growled.  "Wouldn't it be best to honor her memory by being happy?"

He answered her by cutting her lacy white bra.   "She seemed to think you were the key to my bliss.  I will see if she was correct."  He said,his voice rougher now.  

He slid two of his calloused into her silken folds causng her hips to jerk when he came in contact with her clit.  He took note and did it again and again, quietly enjoying the feel and smell of her.  Then he slid his digits inside her causng Kagome to throw her head back roughly against his shoulder.

"I'll give you just this once."  Kagome panted.  "I'll not have you resent me more then you all ready do."

He just grunted then pulled his fingers out and pulled off her panties.  He manuvered her onto her hands and knees, kneeling between her legs.  Kagome looked back at him when he hesitated.  She made eye contact with him.

"If you can't.."She didn't get to finish her sentece as he plunged into her.  

Kagome grimced at the intrusion and Sesshoumaru paused, suprised at how tight she was.  He adujusted his position and leaned over her supporting much of his wieght on one arm. He thrust forward causing Kagome's shoulder to hit upper arm, preventing her from being shoved into the ground. He shuddered as he pulled back.  Then he wrapped his other arm around her waist stabalzing himself.  He then began to move with in her slowly, gradually increasing tempo.  Soon Both where lost in sensation, the sound of slappng flesh and Kagome's mews fillng the night air.

The next morning Kagome expected to be alone and sore.  It had been awhile after all.  What she was not expecting was to be in a plush bed of furs in an unfamilar stone room.  She got up, greateful for the yakuta she was mysteriosly in.  She hobbled into the next room replaying what happened the night before. She found Sesshoumaru reading what appeared to be a book on human pregnancy.

"Where are we?" She asked.

"My den."  He stated gesturing towards a low table with food on it.  "Eat."

"Why am I here?"  She asked gnoring his order and her stomach.

"Your mine now." Came his answer from behind the book.

"What?"  She asked, not believing her ears.

He just turned the page in his book. "Eat."

"I'm not pregnent am I?"  She asked aknowleging the book.

"Not yet."  Came his response.
