It wasn't supposed to happen this way by Shigatsu

Prologue

I could feel the little hairs on the back of my neck stand straight up and goose bumps broke out all up and down my arms. That's when I sensed he was nearby. Now whether or not he could see me, I didn't know. All I knew for certain was that he was out there watching, making sure that nobody came in that wasn't supposed to, but more importantly that nobody went out - meaning me.

He didn't trust me enough yet, or so he says, to leave me un-guarded. He's afraid I'll try to run from him. Which of course is ridiculous, he's a Demon for the love of all that's holy, and I'm a mere human. Even if I had wanted to run I doubt I would make it past the end of the tree line before he would catch me and bring me right back, of course, not without severe consequences first.

I stood up straight after grabbing my spare clothes and headed towards the hot springs for a soak. After shedding my ripped clothing, I gingerly stepped into the steaming water and lowered myself slowly hissing once the water touched my sore, burning bottom. I should hate him for what he does to me, but in reality I can't escape the physical and emotional pull inside that draws me to him.

I slowly start washing my hair thinking over how in one week my life has taken a complete U-Turn. I had goals and dreams that I have wanted since my journey was completed after destroying Naraku and fusing the Shikon no Tama, and now they've completely vanished. In one week he has altered me completely. Everything revolves around him now, whether I want it to or not.

I make sure to scrub my body as well as I can without the use of my soap, he doesn’t want his scent to be covered with my “female products”. After a good long soak, the tension in my body finally melted away, I rise up from the springs and grab my towel to dry off. Once I’m dried and dressed I walk back to the other side of the cave and lay down on the furs that he laid out on the floors to be used as our bedding

 Today I guess you could say I learned a very valuable lesson - one I will not be forgetting any time soon. Don't fuck with Sesshoumaru. My name is Kagome Higurashi and I've been told I'm the mate of a Taiyoukai. But not just any Taiyoukai - my mate just happens to be the most feared Taiyoukai in the Feudal Era - the Killing Perfection, Sesshoumaru.

This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic. Please read and review! Constructive criticism is welcome. *winks*
