She was beautiful. She was a celestial princess who watched over those on earth. She was so involved in the lives of her charges and she just hated to see them going through hard times. She offered what help she could. She had always hated to see others hurting, thought of others before herself.
He was a Demon Lord. He craved power and conquest. But there had been so many things ripped from him in his life. The tears she had cried for him. But he was different, special. She felt for him more clearly than any other mortal or immortal in her charge. He was passionate, vicious and glorious in battle. But yet he had a young ward that he took care of. And when he looked up into the sky, it was almost as if he could see her watching over him.
Sesshomaru was no fool. He had highly developed senses, passed down from his parentage. And he knew when there was something watching him. He had heard rumors in this region. That some sort of Celestial Princess watched over those in the area. Can those things really be real? He wondered to himself. But these were questions he did not dwell on for it did not bring him more power and lands in tribute to his Great and Terrible Father, Inu no Tashio.
The day that it all happened was a normal one as any. She had decided to descent to earth, that was a lovely hot spring and there was nothing around for miles. This was her chance to relax and take heart in the bliss that the earth sometimes offered. She had not thought that anything would happen, the cards had said today did not have any misfortune planned. But they were wrong.
He had been walking along when he heard the sound of splashing water. He instinctively went towards the sound, being ever prepared, and many wanted him dead. But when he arrived at the sound he heard the most succulent amazing noise ever uttered by a female. The small moan that she let out as she relaxed in the hot spring was like nothing he had ever heard. This woman had an ethereal look about her and she had a very small, but bright, white glow to her skin. The demon lord felt the purity bristle along his skin and felt the slight sting as he was shocked. And then eyes were on him. So sea colored and quite wide, there was surprise there but also acceptance. Even though he couldn’t see anything on her, he watched a flush to rise to her cheeks and the sense of peace that enveloped his space unlike anything he had felt since his mother had passed.
“You are Lord Sesshomaru.” She said softly, succuintly, and he wondered if she had been watching him.
“Indeed.” He said before looking at her more carefully. “You have this one at a disadvantage.”
“I am Kagome, Celestial Princess and Guardian, of these parts.” She said, her eyes never leaving his, she breathed heavily as she watched him.
“You’ve been watching this Sesshomaru?”
“You came into my territory, I watch over those who live her, I was merely trying to take care of those in my charge. And duly so, you are ferocious on the battlefield, surely none in my charge would withstand you.” He smirked conceitedly. “But so lonely.” She watched his face fall. “Like a chameleon changing in order to fit in and adapt in order not to get hurt and not let anyone in, but that never works in the end eldest of the Tashio princes.” She said and watched the rage cross over his face. “Kill me if you must, but you’ll never see me again, if you think you can with all of this purity it is.” She spoke as she looked at him.
“Hn.” He grunted before schooling his features once again. He began to walk away.
“Where are you going?” Kagome asked, her voice was small.
“We will see each other again, princess.”
