“No”

“Would you care to repeat that?”

“Sure.. I said ‘No’…”

The demon lord’s voice dropped dangerously low, an aggravated growl vibrating deep within his chest.

“Wench you will do as this Sesshoumaru wishes or…”

“Or you’ll what, glare me to death?” The miko asked throwing her hand up.

“Listen here mister cuz I’m only gonna say this one more time. I am not one of your subjects nor am I a servant. You don’t own me, you don’t rule me and you most certainly don’t get to boss me around. And for the last time my name is KAGOME NOT WENCH!”

The group fell silent fully expecting Sesshoumaru to cut down the loud and foolish woman who dared talk back to the killing perfection. No one could hide the look of pure shock when said Lord simply arched an elegant silver brow at her outburst.

“This Sesshoumaru is aware of your name woman”

“Funny, I would have thought you’d forgotten it considering you have yet to call me anything but onna, or wench, or Miko…”

Kagome dropped her hands to her hips.

“And you miko have yet to address this Sesshoumaru by his formal title as well. Respect is not simply given freely, it is earned”

She opened her mouth to speak again but promptly shut it again, her eyes dropping to the ground. He was right of course.  She gave a short bow and looked him directly in the eyes as she straightened to face him, Her voice clear and determined.

“…..Fine . No I am not leaving without them Lord Sesshoumaru. And unfortunately there is nothing you can do to make me say otherwise”

Had it not been for the decades of practiced self-control her would have held the bridge of his nose in frustration. He would never understand how one tiny human could cause so much irritation. Keeping a level gaze with her Sesshoumaru took a step toward her, pointing to the pile of clothing sitting near the castle door.

“Leave them here or lose them…”

The bitter smell of acid hit her nose as his hand began to glow green. Anger and outrage danced like a fire behind Kagome’s eyes as her own powers surfaced, instantly creating a barrier around the pile.

“YOU ARE NOT MELTING MY JEANS!”

She screeched, taking a step toward him. Sesshoumaru dropped his hand and turned his back to the infuriated woman, making his way toward Ah-Un. Confused, Kagome dropped her barrier and in an instant the burning smell of fabric hit her nose

“Nooooooo!”

But it was too late. Her jeans were gone and Sesshoumaru was so far ahead of them he looked like a white dot down the dirt path leading from his home. Of course no one could see the tiny smirk gracing his feature as he listened to Kagome chasing after him. Jaken simply sighed heavily as he began to try and catch up.

“This is going to be a long trip….”

*Author's Note*

So I did my best to capture part of the tone for this story. It isn't going to be totally doom and gloom but it will be mostly serious. Scenes like this are to be comic relief basically. There will moments when you want to cry from laughing, and others when you cry for the character’s pain. It will be a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. All in all I hope you guys enjoy the ride Please review and comment! It is greatly appreciated.
