Disclaimer: I own nothing of Inuyasha

Kagome sighed in exhaustion as she continued to walk at a steady pace behind her companions, her companions were all as exhausted as she was, yet they kept moving for all of them wanted to reach their village after a long time away. The goal of the group was to reach the village before nightfall for when the sun set, the danger rose. The female cringed at the thought she, more than anyone, knew of the dangers that came when the sun set.
Shivering as the memories she worked so hard to suppress edged at her mind, wanting to once again emerge and replay the events that still haunted her every night when she slept. The event that was a living nightmare to her, that made her want to separate herself from the place she had always been fond of since entering the era she was currently residing in. Inuyasha's forest had once been a paradise for her, yet now it was the complete opposite.
She cringed as Inuyasha's forest came into view, shivering she closed her eyes and inhaled deeply in an attempt to calm her nerves before any of her companions noticed her change in emotion. Before she could stop it the memories of that night that still haunted her surfaced.

Flashback
* * *
Kagome yawned as she stretched her arms above her head, sighing in relief as her tense muscles began to ease she lowered her arms and continued walking down the path that would lead her to the well that would take her home, to her own time. Kagome stilled as she heard a rustling in the nearby bushes, her brow furrowed as she glanced in the direction the noise was coming from, logic told her to ignore the sound and continue on her way. It was nighttime and she had been warned multiple times by her companions to never wander alone.
Yet even with the warning in mind her curiosity to edging her to find out what was making the sound. Her curiosity was one of her strongest weak points, it often overtook the logical part of her, it seemed as though this time was no different. Curiosity would once again outweigh logic. Kagome knew that there was a high possibility that the creature making the noise was a demon looking for a quick meal.
However, there was also a possibility that it could be a wounded animal or human seeking for help. Those possibility outweighed the possibility of a hungry demon and solidified her decision to investigate. If by chance it was a demon looking for a meal, she was close enough to the well to make a dash for it and be safely in her time before the creature could catch up with her.
Squaring her shoulders, Kagome stepped off the trail and began to make her way to where the sound had come from. Pushing aside the bushes she ventured further into the forest. She didn't have to walk for long before she came across the being she suspected had made the noise she had heard earlier.
She looked at the being with an expression of shock, which quickly turned into concern as she noticed the male before her or more so his condition. His usual clothing was shredded and he himself looks disheveled, which on its own was enough to raise concern. What bothered her the most, however, was that not only had he yet to acknowledge her presence but he also seemed to be having difficult time breathing.
She stepped closer, her hand rose as though she was going to touch him. "Sesshoumaru are you okay?" she questioned.
She stiffened in surprise as his head jerked in her direction. Kagome felt her throat thicken and she found it hard to breath as she looked into his darkened golden gaze. Something seemed different about him, but aside from the torn clothing and appearance, she couldn't put her finger on it. She shivered as he smirked and responded.
"I'm just fine miko" he purred, before rising and stepping towards her.
Kagome's brow furrowed as an unfamiliar scent surrounded her. The scent itself was thick, it was sweet with a hint of bitter and it was beginning to affect her in a way she didn't like. It made her body feel heavy and her vision hazy. She was beginning to find it hard to think correctly. Shaking her head to clear her fogged mind, she focused her attention back onto Sesshoumaru and her eyes widened at the sight.
Sesshoumaru had always been an attractive being, even if his actions were less than appealing. Now however he was the most attractive being she had ever seen. His golden eyes seemed to shine more than they ever had before and even with his ripped clothing, his body and air around him seemed to pull her in. His 'radiance' so to say, was blinding. She took a step back as he took another step forward, she frowned "W-What's going on?" she questioned, her own voice seemed like a whisper to even her ears.
Sesshoumaru's smirk widened into a smile, his fangs peeking out from his lips as he continued to walk forward. "Don't fear miko. This Sesshoumaru won't hurt you" he replied smoothly. "Give into the pleasure your body is seeking"
Kagome heard his response, but it was hard to really grasp what he was saying. Pleasure? She didn't think she wanted pleasure, but at the moment she really had no clue what she wanted. Her mind was so clouded that she couldn't focus on one thing. She stiffened as she felt something wrap around her waist, with wide eyes she noticed that in only a few moments Sesshoumaru had closed the space between them. What was going on? Kagome questioned mentally, This wasn't like Sesshoumaru at all.
They hardly ever saw one another, but when they did it was not as though they met and had a chat like good old friends. It was more like he would barely acknowledge her and would instead focus his attention on his younger brother, Inuyasha, and try to get the wanted sword from his younger brother. Why is he doing this now? Any other questions she had to go around in her mind were lost when she felt his hand go under her shirt and touch her skin. She shivered and felt as though where he touched was being lite on fire. It didn't feel painful in fact it felt the opposite of painful, it felt good.
A light chuckle came from Sesshoumaru as he pulled her closer to him. "Don't worry Miko, this will feel very good."
Whatever hesitance Kagome had left after those words were spoken, she stopped trying to think it over and just decided to feel what was being offered. Because so far, whatever Sesshoumaru was doing felt good.

Kagome awoke with a jolt and looked around the area with a haze. Her head was pounding and her body felt sluggish. What happened? She questioned mentally. Feeling a light breeze she shivered, it was then that she noticed her lack of clothing. "W-What?" she whispered. Her eyes widened as she remembered what exactly had happened, though she didn't remember much of it, it didn't take much to put two and two together. Her lack of clothing was the biggest hint as to what happened.
Glancing around the area again, she frowned as she noticed the lack of another person. 'Well I didn't really expect him to be here.' She thought as she shook her head. 'I need to get to my time now, before they find me.' She thought as her friends came to mind. It was nearing morning and she was suppose to return home last night. She had to leave before Inuyasha, or Shippo, noticed she was still in this era. Getting up from her position on the floor, she winced as the motion made the pain in her lower body evident. 'Well that's to be expected too' she thought as she winced once more.
Whimpering softly as she continued to get up she mentally cursed Sesshoumaru. Sure, it didn't hurt then, she did remember only feeling pleasure. However now all she was feeling was pain, worse than anything she had ever felt before. Everyone was stating how their first time was 'wonderful' but they never mentioned how painful it could be afterwords. 'Then again' she thought 'I suppose they probably did it with someone they loved not someone that well..I don't know what he did. But I'm sure the pain fades if you're still with the one you love afterwords.' Shaking her head, she straightened up and walked towards her discarded clothing.
After dressing Kagome studied the surrounding area once more, trying to determine where she was. After a few moments of observing the area, she realized that she was still in Inuyasha's forest. Deciding on which route to take, she picked up her bag that laid nearby on the ground. Putting the strap to the bag on her shoulder, she took her decided route.
After an hour of walking, Kagome finally found her way to the well and she couldn't be happier. Because her legs and other parts of her body were hurting more now than they had been when she first began to walk. Walking towards the well, she sighed softly. Her feelings were still hazy on the matter of what had just happened, that was not how she pictured her first time being, nor was it what she thought her first time would be like. However there was nothing she could do about that now, even knowing she could not change the past she couldn't help but feel slightly ashamed and embarrassed. She had no clue what the smell was that had put her in a daze, she knew it had come from Sesshoumaru, she just couldn't believe she had fallen for it, or that she had done that with Sesshoumaru. Her best friend and old crushes hated elder brother.
She couldn't let Inuyasha or anyone else find out about it that was for sure. 'I should be fine' She thought as she tiredly grasped the rim of the well ' I've been taking birth control for the past year, today was no different, Sesshoumaru probably won't admit he slept with a human and there is no way I can get pregnant so it should be fine. This will all just be a distant memory.' Nodding in agreement to her thoughts, Kagome jumped into the well and sighed in relief as the familiar warmth and blue ight washed over her . All she knew was that when she got back to her time she would take a nice warm bath and wash away this event until it became just a distant memory.

END FLASHBACK
* * *
Too bad that memory won't stay away she thought her frown deepening as she continued to follow behind her companions while still attempting to calm her racing mind and emotions. She had been lucky that nothing aside from nightmares had come from the event . She still had her monthly period and Sesshoumaru had not made an appearance since the event. It was something she was grateful for, her companions knew nothing of the event, which made her feel at ease since she did not want to bother her companions with something of this matter. They all had their own nightmares haunting them, their own pain to deal with, she didn't want to bother them with her own issues.
She was pulled from her thoughts and her conflicted feelings as a sharp pain came from her stomach, she cringed. Ugh cramps she mentally cursed at the thought of her monthly visitor. Flinching as the pain continued for a few moments, she sighed in relief when the pain finally eased. Her cramps this time seemed to be worse than any she had experienced in the past, strangely they had been getting worse as the day progressed.
Maybe I can talk Inuyasha into letting me go back to my time when we reach the village to get some medicine she thought with some hope. There was a slim chance that Inuyasha would let her go home since they were still well stocked on medical supplies and ramen. If he did however, she would be sure to sneak in a small nap and warm bath while she was in her time. Both sounded lovely at the moment.
Kagome watched in surprise as Inuyasha stilled and stiffened, a light growl escaped the hanyou as he looked off into the distance. This action caused the others in the group to pause and get ready for whatever was heading their way. Her brow furrowed as she studied Inuyasha's posture, he had yet to cease growling which meant that something, or someone, that got under his skin was coming this way. “What's wrong Inuyasha?” she questioned.
Inuyasha glanced towards her before redirecting his attention back to the spot he had previously been looking at. “It's that bastard” he growled.
Kagome rose a brow, that didn't really answer her question as Inuyasha seemed to call anything and anyone he disliked a 'bastard'. Her guess was that it was either Kouga or Sesshoumaru. A frown came to her lips at that thought, she hoped it was not Sesshoumaru for she did not know if she was ready to see him yet or not. She had no clue why, she wasn't mad or disgusted at the thought of Sesshoumaru-but it hurt that she may see his regret or disgust if he came to see her.
A few moments passed leaving the group in a stand still, the environment was tense around them making everyone more on edge than they normally would be. After what seemed like hours the bushes in the direction Inuyasha had been staring at rustled and a figure emerged. As the figure came forward Kagome's eyes widened and her body tensed, her heart began to beat rapidly, she could barely hear Inuyasha speak to their guest as the beating of her heart got louder.
“Sesshoumaru you bastard, what are you doing here?!”
