“Kagome, why don’t you just go home!? You don’t belong here and you’ll just be in my way,” the gruff hanyou growled at the young girl tending to his wounds. “I have a task to do Inuyasha, I broke the jewel and I have to fix it,” Kagome said softly, keeping her voice low as she finished wrapping his wounds.
“I don’t know why you bothered to wrap me up, I’ll be all healed in a couple hours,” he told her. Kagome rolled her eyes, “I don’t care, you were bleeding pretty bad…I’m going to go take a bath, I’ll be back,” she informed him, unaware of the yellow eyes that watched the two interact.
Cold, amber eyes watched the scene with mock interest as he watched the strange human from his father’s tomb walk off alone. ‘Baka half-breed, if only you knew what was about to become of your woman,’ a sinister smirk played on his lips as he followed behind her in the trees.

With Kagome:
Kagome sighed as she undressed and sank into the cold river, wrapping her arms around herself and finding a rock that jutted out of the water. Leaning against it she let out a deep sigh, she went from being a normal teenage girl to a freak that traveled to the past and associated with a crude half-demon. “I knew I should have just gone to school and let Souta get that blasted cat,” she pouted and dunked her head under the water.
When she resurfaced, her eyes met gold and she let out a frightened gasp. “Inuyasha SIT!” she squealed without thinking, her eyes shut tightly. “As entertaining as it would have been to see the half-breed subdued, I am not Inuyasha,” a cool, silky voice met her ears instead of the sound of a body slamming into the ground.
Her eyes opened wide as she stared at the aristocrat that had tried to melt her with poison not even a few days earlier. Apparently he’s recovered and back for revenge – oh why did it have to be her? Covering herself, she backed away from him and opened her mouth to shout for Inuyasha. “Try to scream girl and you’ll find yourself dead before you can blink,” a hand went over her mouth, silencing her as she stiffened, feeling silk brush against her bare back.
“I will have my revenge, I will get the tetsusaiga and I will have my arm back, miko,” he said into her ear, making her shiver. The hand moved from her mouth to wrap around her waist, pinning her body against his as he summoned his cloud, lifting them both out of the river. The cool air hit her bare skin and she shivered as he sped towards the West. Great – just great. Her pack and her clothes lay forgotten on the river bank and blue hues stared down at them in a defeated manner. She was naked, on a demon cloud, floating through the air with Inuyasha’s evil older half-brother. She could just be a normal human girl in her normal human world, going to school, hanging out with her three girlfriends, tormenting her younger brother and fretting about whether or not the hottest guy in school would ever ask her out.
But no, she just wasn’t that lucky.
They were there within what felt like eternity, Kagome felt like an human ice cube and her hair had surely seen better days. The demon lord was roughly shoving her into the arms of a guard. “Taiken, take the ningen, get her clothed and find her suitable chambers in the east wing,” the cold demon ordered, heading into the palace promptly afterwards. “Come on,” the guard said, tugging at the silent girl’s arms as he led her towards the east wing.
Kagome struggled against him slightly, trying to yank her arm free of the man’s grasp. A growl came from the guard and he abruptly stopped. “Cease your struggling, girl,” he told her.
“My name…is not…girl!” she growled out, yanking her arm free. He sighed and grabbed her, throwing her over her shoulder and hanging onto her legs. “You know, you’re not bad looking for a human,” he told her with a chuckle, feeling her squeak and beat against his back with her tiny fists. “Put me down!” she tried to struggle and soon found herself placed on a bed. The bed chambers weren’t that bad but she still didn’t want to be here.
“If you’re name isn’t girl, then what is it?” the guard asked as he pulled out a plain white yukata. “It’s Kagome,” she said quietly, taking the silk he handed her. She pulled it on and tied it, taking a seat on the bed. “I must report to mi’lord,” he said and without another word, he left her chambers and headed to his lord’s study.
He knocked on the large oak doors and waited for a confirmation before heading in. “Sesshomaru-sama, the girl has been placed in the chambers. What are your further orders?” he asked, bowing deeply to the demon lord.
“She is to become my personal servant, and you will guard her, make sure she doesn’t escape,” his cool orders reached the guard’s ears. “Yes, sir” Taiken said, bowing once again and heading for Kagome’s chambers.

With Kagome
“I just want to be home,” she whimpered to herself, curled up in a ball on the bed. “Kagome,” the guard’s voice broke her out of her thoughts. “What is it?” she asked, her voice a little raspy and cracked. “I, uh, apologize for my brash behavior earlier, I am Taiken, Lord Sesshomaru’s General,” he bowed in greeting.
“Nice to meet you, Taiken, what are his majesty’s orders?” she asked with a roll of her eyes. “I am here to make sure you don’t escape and that you are to be his personal servant,” he told her. “His personal servant!?” she squeaked, her eyes open wide. Taiken chuckled and took a chair, scooting it up to her bed.
“Yes, you will be told your duties as his servant in the morning,” he told her. The miko let out a sigh, “he’ll never let me go, will he? Even after he gets his revenge on Inuyasha,” she stated. “I highly doubt it, Kagome-san,” he said. “Get some sleep,” Taiken told the female.
“Wait, what kind of demon are you?” she asked curiously. “I am a wolf demon, my parents served the west and I follow in their paw prints,” he said. Kagome nodded and laid down, “goodnight Taiken,” she stated, “how would I escape anyway? He’s a dog with superior senses and speed…I wouldn’t get as far as the front gate before either you or him getting to me first. And I wouldn’t even know the direction to get home even if I did escape,” she mumbled. The guard felt a smirk tug at his lips, she was smart – for a human, that is.
