Kagome POV
I was floating.
I strained my ears to pick up some time of sound. Anything. I could only hear something muted and garbled. I opened my eyes to see that I was floating in the middle of a battleground.
I heard the sounds of clashing bodies and ..... Swords?
I willed my body to move but it wouldn’t budge. I shifted and I felt a bolt of searing pain go up my left leg. I looked down and saw that my foot was facing the wrong direction. What's going on? What happened? I don’t remember how I got to this place.
I panicked.
I struggled to move body even an inch. Sweat was pouring down on my face and my arms and legs screamed from the strain of an invisible weight.
Calm down Kagome. You are all right. You can’t fix everything without trying you know.
"Who there's!? Show yourself!"
I see that I am so easily forgettable. I thought I would have made a very lasting impression on you, my dear Kagome.
"Where are you? Who are you? Why can't I see you?" I shouted. I was beginning to get irritated.
That's because I am inside your mind. Think of me as another soul, that’s inhabiting your mind.
"So you're my conscience?"
No Kagome. I am not your conscience. You ask where I am and yet I am all around you. You ask who I am and yet I am a part of you.
I could hear the frustration laced in the voice.
"I don’t understand. I've never met you a day before in my life."
Young One please know that I am your biggest ally, and also your greatest enemy. You are one with me, just as I am one with you.
"You say we are the same person but I just can’t shake the feeling that we haven’t met before. Why is that?"
You have sustained severe injury to your body.
The voice skirted around my question, and now I was pissed. I wanted answers damn it and I wanted them now.
A very deadly miasma invaded your body, so the only way for me to keep you safe and prevent the miasma from spreading throughout your body and to your soul was to bring you here.
"Where is here exactly?"
The path to your destiny.
I could tell this was going to be a very long day... night, whatever the hell this was.

Sesshomaru POV
I was clawing my way through the rubble that was the west wing of the school. This was the last place that I sensed Kagome.
I had sensed Naraku nearby but when i arrived he was already gone but from what i could tell he was interrupted. His miasma was detained by the authorities and every demon was booked for questioning. Except myself of course. No human would dare touch the Great Lord of The West Sesshomaru.
I kept digging praying that I would find something. Anything.
I froze.
Why was i so concerned with this girl? She was nothing to me. She serves no purpose to me, so why am I trying my hardest to find her. What was this feeling?
I didn't like this. I was not to be swayed by human emotions, unlike Inuyasha. Full blooded demons such as myself did not have hearts, let alone feelings. Bringing my palm to the left side of my torso where my heart should be, I listened. There was no beating of a heart.
Bringing my hand down i looked at it. Why did I feel so disappointed? I felt empty. As if there was nothing but a soul, inhabiting a physical body. Would Kagome fall for someone without a heart?
I recoiled. Shaking the bothersome and completely inexcusable thoughts i continued my search for Kagome.
After about 15 minutes i stumbled upon a yellow backpack that resembled the one Kagome was carrying.
I glanced around, looking for Sango, Kagome's friend. Not seeing her, i called upon my servant Jaken. Materializing in a cloud of purple and black smoke, the green imp bowed its head.
"Rise."
Jaken stood up, his large reptilian eyes honing in on my face.
"Yes my lord. What may I help you with my great Lord Sesshomaru? It is not often that you call upon me for my services-"
"Would you desist? I have no tolerance for your flattery. I called you here for you to do your job. So will you do it? Or will I have to reprimand you?" I asked in annoyance.
Jaken lowered his head in submission. “Yes my lord." Glancing up he noticed the backpack. I lowered the bag to the ground so he could inspect it. Running his hands over the bag he began muttering to himself. I watched on without interest.
"Yes... Yes.. This is a woman's bag." I rolled my eyes. “But not just any ordinary human, a miko. A very powerful one at that. But her power has been diminished, almost completely gone." i scowled.
"Can you find her or not Jaken?"
Jaken jumped up, waving his hands around he yelled. “Of course I can. Anything for Lord Sesshomaru. If you would follow me I will be happy to show you." Walking in the opposite direction of the school, I noticed that the grounds had been cleared. And the firemen and authorities were still questioning some of the students and teachers.
I heard footsteps approaching us. Sneering, I faced the intruder. There were two policemen. One aged and portly while the other was young and athletic. The elder spoke up, "Are you a student here demon?" The younger one looked on with excitement in showing in his brown eyes.
I didn’t answer. I did not need to address any humans let alone these two pathetic excuses. Turning my heel i resumed walking. Only for another voice to call out. "You listen here you freak, we asked you a question, so you better answer it, boy."
I bared my teeth in annoyance. How dare this human speak to me in such a fashion? Looking the men in the eyes I let my yokai side come out for a bit. I would show these two humans of what this " freak" was truly capable off.
My amber eyes turned red, my black irises now an eerie shade of blue. My fingernails grew in length and my fangs grew longer poking out of my mouth. Smirking I walked closer to them, both of them going for their weapons. Pointing the guns at me, served only to anger me more.
I walked up until i was literally a foot away from the younger officer. I could smell the fear it was small but it was there. I glanced at his nametag Hansen. I could tell he was becoming more frightened.
"Son, I'm only going to tell you once, back away or I will shoot." His voice was wavering and the fingers holding the gun were white at the knuckles. I could here the older man's breath as he attempted to walk around me. Sticking my hand out, I curled my fingers around his throat. He dropped the gun, his hands reaching up to try and release mine. I squeezed harder while looking 'Hansen" in the eye.
"Shall I show you what this 'freak' is capable of, officer?" Bringing my free hand down to palm the end of the gun. Hansen’s eyes went wide, and he looked over to the older man as if looking for guidance.
I curled my fingers around the barrel of the gun. The metal began to rot away, as my acidic claws touched it. Hansen dropped the gun, and fell on his butt. I smiled a very fake smile and released the older officer from my grip. Falling to his knees he began coughing and gasping trying to regain his breath.
I stared down at them with apathetic eyes. Looking into theirs I saw the only expression I liked on a human. Fear.
"I would advise you, to never consider me a full blooded yokai demon-" both of the officers eyes went wide" as a freak. Never have I faced such insolence and disrespect from anyone. I am above your law." I spat.
I heard more footsteps, looking up I saw the Chief of Police running in our direction. He glanced at his officers and when his eyes landed on me they widened. Bowing, he spoke." All of you show some respect! Y-Young Lord Sesshomaru, I apologize if my officers have offended you. I was not aware that you were in the vicinity. Please accept my humblest of apologies." He and the others were still bowing. Which was a good sign.
"Very well. I accept, but you should teach your subordinates about the importance of respecting a member of the royal family. I heard a string of gasps and feet shuffling as the rest of the officers bowed. "Or rather the consequences of disrespecting a member."
"Lord Sesshomaru, I sincerely apologize. I promise it will not happen again." The Chief spoke, his voice ringing out finality.
I nodded pleased with this." You may rise Chief. But let this be a warning. Any situations such as this again and I assure you my Father will be hearing about it. And he will definitely not be pleased." I turned away, walking away from the pathetic humans.
Humans thought as if they were at the top of the world. But none of them knew that they war at our mercy. Some knew that, such as the Chief. Who my Father and other higher up demons have dealt with before, when humans have stuck those noses into things that they don't belong.
That was the only things humans were good for. Doing the little man's work. Kagome was no different. She must of casted a curse upon me. She after all was a very powerful Miko. A miko's purpose in life was to eradicate demons and "cleanse" the world. A demon's purpose was to create madness and chaos. We were enemies... so why would i need to go find her? I didn't.
"Jaken." I called
Jaken spun around, “Yes Lord Sesshomaru?"
I motioned towards the school," Over there you will find Inuyasha and his.... friends. Go. Give this to him and tell him what you know. I am above doing this work. Let the half breed do this. After you have finished, come back we have a meeting with Father to make." I threw the backpack at Jaken, not caring if he caught it or not.
Jaken watched as his Lord walked away without a backwards glance. He sighed and began to lift the backpack up, only for it to crush him under its enormous weight.
What did that blasphemous girl put in here? Rocks?
Jaken walked over to wear I Inuyasha was, clearing his throat to get his attention. Once, twice, and third time was always the charm..... Or not. Inuyasha was still ignoring him. He picked up on their conversations.
"Inuyasha why aren't you helping them look for Kagome. I saw your brother helping." A fair skinned girl with hip length black hair was scolding the half breed.
Inuyasha scoffed. "Yeah right. Like that asshole would do that."
Jaken had heard enough. No one disrespected his Lord. Grabbing huis staff he smacked the half breed in the leg, sending him to the ground howling in pain. Jaken marched up to where Inuyasha was nursing his abused leg. "You! Listen here you brat! Lord Sesshomaru was doing an honorable job helping to look for that girl. He graciously has passed this task on to you. So I will not stand here and let you insult him. Apologize! Right this instance. Or I will have to use force.
Inuyasha stared at the ugly green imp with a blank expression, then he started to laugh loudly. “Oh this is just too good. That statue is asking for me help? Ha! Like I'd want to help him."
The girl with long hair kicked Inuyasha in his injured leg. Hard. She was shaking her face a complete mask of rage. “How dare you. If you would think with that non existent brain of yours you would realize that Sesshomaru, who was the only one digging through the debris left from the explosion, found a clue. Get off your imaginary high horse and get down here with the rest of humanity." The girl was huffing. The younger black haired man was holding her by the arm.
"Sango is right Inuyasha." Turning to the imp Miroku took the backpack. “Tell Sesshomaru Thank you." Helping Inuyasha up, they walked towards the school.
Sesshomaru POV
I opened the door to Father's in home office. The spacious suite, occupying the renovated attic, was decorated in ancient Japanese relics with a touch of modern appliances.
"Father I need to speak with you." I called out to empty office. I heard movement coming from the back room, where the printer and copier were. Two black dress shoes came into my vision. Father was talking on the phone. I respected my Father greatly, he was flawless and the last remaining of the Four Great Demons, although we weren't close. Him having opposing views for humans than I do, left us mildy estranged but I knew he would be able to help me with this problem of mine.
Father walked into the room, his gait was fluid and he had an air of sophistication that surrounded him. His long white hair was pulled back into a low ponytail showcasing his yellow eyes and the purple crescent moon birthmark adorning his forehead. He was wearing a light blue button up, black slacks and a gold watch Inuyasha's mother bought him for Christmas a couple years back.
"What is it Sesshomaru? You never call me for anything. So this must be important." His deep voice echoing the office.
"How powerful would a miko have to be to spell a curse on a demon of our stature?" I got right down to the problem, I wanted answers and I was going to get them.
He looked at me with a blank stare then leaned back into his chair and twirled a pen in his hand. It took a while for him to answer back but I could tell he was completely thrown off by the question.
"Um well they would have to be extremely powerful or gifted in the art of casting that's for certain. It would be have to be a high level curse for that matter." He spoke very slowly as of he was wary of my reaction.
"I am not a child, you do not need to watch your words with me." I snapped.
His golden eyes narrowed, "Do not take that tone with me. You are my son, I helped bring you into this world and I can take you out of it just the same. If you have a problem you can always come to me or your mother wh-"
"That woman is not my mother, you are mistaken if you think for a moment I would consider that human as my mother." I saw something flash across his eyes, what, I wasn't sure.
He sighed. “Sesshomaru I know that you do not see eye to eye with her but the truth is she is my wife and you will respect her for that. Now as to your problem. It would have to be someone very experienced, and they must have many years under their belt." He finished.
'Kagome doesn't seem to be very powerful, I didn't sense a great deal of power from her. Did she have someone cast it for her? But I would have felt a binding spell.'
"What about someone who is Inuyasha's age?"
"That's just unheard of. Even the most practiced Miko’s don't have that kind of power. Who is this Miko?"
"Her name is Kagome. She went to school here when she was younger but moved away with an aunt before her first year of high school. I think she casted a binding spell against me."
My father turned a curious eye towards me. "Well what does it feel like."
"I feel...... different around her."
My father raised his eyebrows. “Do continue."
"I feel different, I want to protect her. There was an explosion at school today and I when I realized what was going on, I tried my best to find her but what use could she possibly be for me?" I scoffed.
It was quiet for some time. My father tapping his pen against his desk. Finally he spoke but his words were not ones that comforted me.
"Sesshomaru I don't think she casted a binding spell. I can smell no magic. I think that you have a crush on this miko."
I scoffed, “Don’t be ridiculous. I am not capable of such trivial things."
He looked me straight in the eye, his gaze was uncomfortable, like bearing my soul to a corrupt witch."You are capable of those 'trivial things' i fell in love with a human. Many demons have. Although sometimes there intentions are poor and their reasons are unpure, it has happened and I think that you have a crush on this miko girl." He looked satisfied with his answer, a smirk dancing on his lips.
"Well I am not. Your love for humans is a fascination, one which will prove fatal to you but a fascination none the less. These years of being with that human woman have made you soft Father."
"Say what you will Sesshomaru, but that is the difference between humans and demons. Demons only survive for the fight. The ability to become stronger, to hold the most power. Yes while humans have proved to be much in the same way by the evidence of history they can evolve. Something that demons have no use for, or rather something that they can't change. It's in the way we are created. Humans have compassion and can prevail over even the most difficult of situations but only because they have something that demons don't posses naturally." He was calm and very collected.
"And what exactly would that be."
"They have the ability to sacrifice. To fight for something that may or may not buy them any personal gain but they can protect the ones they love and be thankful in the end. Demons by nature cannot do this for their biology is not built that way. That is why humans are the strongest race. Maybe not in numbers, or supernatural powers or even fearlessness but they have courage to make a sacrifice that may cost them everything but they still fight for it."
I looked at him in complete and utter disbelief. A crush? I have no heart so why would I feel these things. Humans are an inferior race. They haven’t been around as long and they are like worms. They stay low to the ground and slither their ways through the walls of society and order.
So what did that mean for me? Does this mean I like Kagome? That I have more than amicable feelings toward her? Will she prove to be my downfall? Is she just a fascination? What?
I didn't understand. I left my father in my office. Going to the underground training area maybe fighting some of the prisoners will fix this nonsensical dilemma."
If I had stayed longer I would have heard my father.
"You have finally become a true warrior Sesshomaru. To love is not a weakness, rather a strength in yourself and the ability to protect what you think is important. I hope you can learn this before it's too late."
