I have come back. Yes, I have taken a month and here I am once again. I have restarted this fanfiction. It has longer, more descriptive chapters with more appropiate characterizations and grammar. I have an entirely knew beginning for this story; a brief flashback to the past of Sesshoumaru x Kagome.

If you, the Reader, do not like having to wait for me to do the other chapters which are all going to be changed into better quality writings, then simply leave and ignore this fanfiction. Do not downrate it, flame me or complain. I made this fanfiction, I can decide to do what I wish to it.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported me during RED TWO, Adultfanfiction and the flamers. I apologise for my withdrawl from fanfiction; it was unfair of me to punish those of you who have only supported and been patient with me.

I am currently once again on Adultfanfiction writing anonymously. I am writing in the Harry Potter section. I will not give out my new name; I will only be deleted thus losing my work. I simply suggest reading the Snape/Hermione and Draco/Hermione sections.

That is all for now. Read, Rate and Review. And thank you once again.

"Go. Now." A deep voice ordered coldly.

Haunted blue eyes rose from their fixated gaze upon the marble floor to meet the steely amber pair set within a stunningly beautiful face. Staring into those two unfeeling sun-kissed mirrors that lead to his soul, the girl shuddered when they became closed and barren of life. It was the same wasteland she had seen within them a year ago when they first met. And now, she was being faced with the intense frigidness of his gaze once again.

Raising her head, she grasped her purse in her hand tightly, her knuckles whitening. Turning on her heel, she stopped at the door to turn and gaze at the youkai who caused the pain in the place where her heart beat. Tears gatherning in her saddened gaze, she shook her head gently.

"Doushite?" she demanded softly.

The flawless face remained impassive; stoically calm despite the inner turmoil behind the controlled facade. "I do not have to explain myself to you, Kagome. You know why." he responded frostily.

Kagome felt a tear make its path down her cheek. Clenching her jaw, she tried to swallow over the lump that had formed in her throat. "Yes. I was a fool to think you of all people had changed, Sesshoumaru." she paused.

"Sayonara."

Sesshoumaru watched the woman that had held his attention and possibly the small organ known as his heart open the large door leading out of his mansion's foyer, the scent of jasmine and sakura the only lingering evidence of her previous presence. His eyes hardening, his angelic face set into an unmovable mask, he stood in the window and watched the young girl make her way to her car.

Seeing the slight figure sit in the metal contraption, he flinched when she backed up and drove away; out of his life for what he assumed to be for the rest of is immortal existence.

One year later...

"No! No steady now! Steady!"

Boxes upon boxes swerved to the right as a tiny girl swore under her breath as she tried to maneuver the swaying tower filled with all her wordly possesions away from its destructful path to the ground. Balancing the one meter high mountain of boxes miraculously, Higurashi Kagome looked over the side of the piled boxes and tried to see the tiny piece of paper in her hand.

Straining her eyes and squinting, her frown deepened as she tried to hold the boxes and view the tiny scrap piece of paper her mother had handed her this morning.

'Chikuso! What is the room number?! It looks like a two...and the rest...' Squinting harder, she scowled. 'Is obviously obscured.'

Finally accepting she was unable to view the room number printed neatly on the paper with the boxes in her hand, the girl growled, fuming at her situation. Her brow furrowing, the beautiful girl scowled angrily as she had to place the boxes down on the floor.

Glaring at them for she knew she would have to struggle too pick them up again as she had too earlier, the young university student looked down at the piece of paper.

"Room 245?!" she shrieked. Groaning, she wipped the sweat on her smooth brow, bemoaning the unfortunate turn of events. "Kami sakes! Thats on the third floor!"

Kagome frowned as she slumped against the nearest wall, her face appearing ashfallen as she wallowed in her self pity. Why? Why did her mother have to get the pent house room? She was more then willing to settle down for a simple dorm-room but obviously, her Oka-saan wanted her to keep the proud, wealthy Higurashi name with its high standards by giving her the most expensive room in Tokyo University. Yet the elder woman had remained painstakingly oblivious to the fact while with its grandeur came its added impossible amount of stairs to climb!

Grumbling to herself, Kagome bent down and struggled to stack the boxes once again. Panting as she exerted her small body, she glared at the dead weight objects. Biting her lower lip, she moaned as she finally managed to lift two of the boxes and began to make her way to the first flight of stairs. Stopping at the first step, coughing, she swore to herself and placed the boxes onto the ground again. She was seriously out of shape.

Perhaps she should have continued gym in high school?

Sliding down the wall to the floor, the girl rested her head on her propped up knees and sighed. Her long nails tapping against the floor loudly, Kagome looked up at the ceiling and frowned. Now that her mind wasn't occupied with the thoughts of possibly dieing underneath a mountain of boxes, she could contemplate her larger fears.

Who was her room-mate?

She knew this was a co-ed school so it could be a male or female. Kagome blushed at the thought of sharing a dorm-room with a male. Her cheeks became hotter as she gulped in embaressment. Not only was she not the best morning person, she certainly wasn't the kind of girl a guy would like to share a place with!

Niave, innocent and very shy, Higurashi Kagome was a sleeping virgin. Literally.

"Oi are you okay?" A voice intruded her thoughts.

Blinking in surprise and glancing up, Kagome met a pair of ice blue eyes. A tall, tanned male with long black hair tied in a high pony tail stood arrogantly before her, a wide fanged smile on his handsome face. Staring at him, Kagome smiled shakily in welcome.

"Actually I'm not really. You see I have all these boxes with my stuff in them but my room is on the top floor...I'm not exactly the Hulk material!" she joked, her sapphire eyes sparkling.

The wolf youkai smiled haughtily, his chest puffing out in an attempt to impress the beautiful girl. "I will gladly help you carry the boxes! I'm pretty strong to say so myself." The wolf demon announced cockily, smirking down at the beautiful vision that was a ningen miko.

Kagome blinked in confusion. Should she thank the guy or tell him to screw off? Glancing at the boxes, she winced at the pain in her arms and back that dully reminded her of her previous attempts to carry the immense load. Outweighing the cons and pros, Kagome decided to accept his rather arrogant offer to help her. Standing up, she held out her hand.

"My name is Higurashi; Higurashi Kagome."

The youkai grinned toothily, his ice eyes lighting up enthusiastically as he shook her hand firmly. "Youso Kouga. Ookami of the wolf demon tribe." He stated in an obnoxious way.

Kagome sweat dropped and mentally asked herself if the pros in her mind really beat the growing cons. Could someone be more egotistic? Trying to ignore his wandering eyes that currently seemed to fixate themselves on her womanly area's, Kagome nodded. "Domo Arigatou Kouga-kun for your help-"

"It is my pleasure, Kagome! I couldn't let a beautiful damsel," Kouga paused at this, his bold stare going up and down her frame lustfully again. "Try and get up these stairs with these boxes. Besides, you looked pretty tired already."

The ookami looked at her while he lifted almost all of her heavy boxes in one arm with an ease that it secretly amazed her.

Smiling smugly at Kagome, Kouga began to climb the stairs with a pompous swagger. Kagome sighed and followed the concieted wolf youkai with her own two smaller boxes. As the pair made up the stairs quickly, Kouga looked at her from the corner of his eye. "Why the Hell do you have so many boxes anyway? I heard of girls who over-pack but this...This is crazy!" he exclaimed gruffly as he shifted the boxes in his arms.

Kagome blushed and glanced down at her feet. She had always been intimidated of guys. Except for one guy...

But she wasn't about to think about him. Ignoring the disastrous thoughts that echoed her inner plight, Kagome continued the conversation. "I had a very large room when I lived with my parents. I love all my stuff so much, I couldn't stand the thought of leaving any of it behind. Stupid me forgot to get some one to help me though." she grumbled.

Kouga chuckled as he nudged the boxes to a more comfortable position, his youkai strength making easy work of the weights that would have killed a ningen after a while. "No problem Kagome! So what are you here for at Tokyo University?" he asked as they began making up the second flight of stairs.

Kagome smiled cheerfully for once all morning, her face become stunning in her excitement. "I'm here for Business Managment and Accounting. My family owns a very large buiness that I'm supposed to inherit so I want to be able to know how to run it." she answered honestly, watching the stairs she climbed with anxiety. Knowing her luck she'd fall down them only to have the box land on her head.

A most befitting death for Higurashi Kagome concerning her rather widely known clumsiness.

Kouga gaped at the young girl in awe. "You are part of the Higurashi clan? The millionaires?!" The ookami yelled, his eyes widening in disbelief.

Kagome blushed and looked away, slightly uncomfortable. She was used to this reaction but seriously disliked it to be honest. She knew she had life well-off but preferred to be seen as a regular person and hopefully, this year, an average University student. Her face becoming tired, she nodded reluctantly.

"Hai, but please dont tell anyone Kouga! I really just want to fit in here.."

"No problem Kagome besides you're not the only millionare here! We have Taisho InuYasha and his brother, Sesshoumaru here." Kouga spat the two names like they were a vile poisin in his mouth. His handsome face showing his obvious hatred of the brothers.

Ignorant to Kagome's sudden silence, the wolf continued, fuming. "Damn bastards walk around like they own the place. Especailly Sesshoumaru. Fucking arrogant pretty boy. Thinks he's all that because the girls fall over him! I bet they only like him because he helps them with make-up tips!" he growled.

Kagome evidently stiffened at this announcement. "Se-Sesshoumaru? " she stammered, blatantly horrorified at the mention of the infamed taiyoukai.

Kouga stopped his loud rampage on the brothers and glanced over at the shockingly pale girl. Stopping his steady climb, the youkai frowned.

"Whats wrong Kagome? You look sick...Is it something about Inu-koru?!" Kouga demanded right away.

Kagome blinked in confusion. "Inu-koru..?"

"InuYasha! Has it got to with InuYasha!"

Kagome laughed nervously, shaking her head. "N-No...B-But...are you sure about Sesshoumaru," Kagome noticed Kouga's eyes narrowing at the mention of the older brother, "And InuYasha being here?" she asked hesitantly.

Kouga shrugged, the boxes moving with the alteration of limbs. Snorting he continued angrily, "Ya. I saw the two moving into their seperate dorm rooms some where in the school." Kouga then looked swiftly at Kagome. "Hey, you got a problem with Sesshoumaru, Kagome? I heard he was a bastard but he hasn't done anything to you, has he?"

Noticing her pale face he frowned angrily. "If he has I will kill him!" Kouga declared heatedly.

Kagome shook her head, trying to hide her shock. "N-No it's fine Kouga-kun. Taisho Sesshoumaru, ne? Kami I never knew a celebrity like him would go here! I'm just shocked that he would come to Tokyo U that's all.." The girl stammered off pathetically.

Kouga ignored the hints to his youkai senses of Kagome's lie. If she wanted to tell him about it, she would have. He didn't need to push the girl away by prying into her life. Deciding to try and rid of Kagome's future interest of the Taisho brother's, Kouga nodded. "Ya the prick walks around here like a Kami or something. His brother InuYasha isn't half as bad but I still fucking hate him. Damn hanyou. The two know they are all that and show it off. So damn annoying."

Kagome began coughing and turned her face from Kouga's now confused and concerned stare. "Are you sure you're alright Kagome? I think-"

"No no I'm fine! Just...I dont like swearing..."

Kagome mentally slapped herself. 'I dont like swearing? What a lame excuse! O Kami shoot me now damnit! I swear all the time!' The girl beratted herself.

The wolf demon let his handsome face show his shock. Before Kagome could say anything, the boxes were on the ground beside them and Kouga was before her, kneeling, and holding her hands in his own, his eyes staring up into her face with earnest adoration. "Gomen nasai, my beautiful Kagome. I swear to you under the oath of the wolf youkai I, Kouga, will attempt to never swear in front of you again." He swore passionatly, his blue eyes sparkling.

The girl gaped down at the kneeling demon. Nani?! Quickly forcing a shaky smile on her lips, the miko managed to force out, "Ano...Arigatou?"

Kouga smiled and then quickly picked up the boxes again, the two making their way up the last flight of stairs. "Oi, Kagome, can I see your paper with the room number?" he demanded.

Reaching in her pocket, she withdrew the scrap of paper and handed it to her new found friend [well acquaintance]. Watching his eyes scimmer the paper, she sighed when he turned to the right, down a hall and into a small section of rooms labelled in the two hundreds.

Excited at the fact she might actually make it to her room, alive, Kagome sighed and smiled.

Kouga kept looking at the piece of paper he had taken from Kagome and scanned the doors around him. He then suddenly stopped at a door and looked at Kagome. "This is your room Kagome. The pent house eh? That is pretty-"

"Kami! Sesshoumaru! Onegai! Itai!" a woman's scream interrupted the ookami, her husky voice loud and almost deafening.

Kagome felt her mouth drop open in shock. Looking to see Kouga appearing as perturbed as her, the miko blushed at the images coming to her innocent mind due to the woman's words and tone. Blinking, his cool blue eyes disbelieving, Kouga sniffed the door before him, trying to assure himself of his assumptions. Kagome watched as the ookami's face molted from red to purple to pink to blue then to red in an intriguing mixture of embaressment and shock.

Turning to the confused ningen, Kouga demanded aggresively, "Are you sure this is your dorm room number?!"

Kagome nodded, stunned at Kouga's sudden anger. "H-Hai...My Oka-saan looked it over herself! It must be my dorm-room because-"

"Itai! Itai!" The woman screamed again, moaning in obvious pleasure.

Kouga growled, his eyes narrowing on the door. "Well it seems we know who you're fucking room mate is fucking now. And remembering the name the bitch screamed before, we can make a guess on who it is too." he stated stiffly, his jaw clenching.

Kagome looked at Kouga in horror. He couldn't mean-? No! It couldn't be! Stepping forward to the door, she licked her lips nervously and looked at the furious wolf youkai.

'Damn bastard and his women...Acts like he's all that...Girls fall over for him....'

Kouga's words echoed in her head as she raised her trembling, sweaty fist to the door. Hesitantly, Kagome knocked on the door.

The moans and growls stopped instantly and suddenly the sound of the girl calling for the person, Sesshoumaru, was heard. Her eyes widening at the prospect of seeing him again, Kagome licked lips as the sweat trickled down her back. She couldn't do this. She couldn't see him again; expescailly like this! O god not him not him...Please Kami don't let it be-

The door swiftly opened, revealing the golden eyes that she remembered very well. Time froze as the silver-hair vision of perfection stood in the doorway, his towering frame blocking the room from her stunned line of vision.

Kagome felt her heart stop and her breathing cease when those dead golden-flecked eyes fixed on her. That flawless face she had once loved more then life remained impassive but those sun-kissed orbs showed it; the hatred and repulsion when they noticed it was her disturbing his screw-fest with the passionate girl.

Choking back her tears, Kagome smiled weakly. "Ano...Konochi wa Sesshoumaru." she whispered, her eyes holding his penetrating stare.

"Kagome." The cool, monotonous voice made her cringe at the hostility and cold-detachment that lined her named in a heartless fashion.

Kagome smiled nervously, trying to focus on anything but his eyes. She knew that with his eyes he could see the hurt he had left her with. Kami how could she face him? Not only had they left each other a year ago but he had just been with another girl...

A blush forming on her high cheek-bones, she coughed in embaressment. "Ano...Is this your room or...that girl's?" she asked in a strangely high-pitched voice.

Sesshoumaru raised a silver brow in silent mockery. His eyes leaving her face for once, they fell upon the fallen piece of scrap paper at Kagome's feet, noticing his door room number written on it. The amber eyes narrowing slightly, the god-like figure remained emotionless as he now glared at her.

"This Sesshoumaru only recieves the best accomdations. You should know this." He mumured stiffly, his tone frosty like that of the North pole.

His beautiful face unmoved from its stoic disposition, those piercing orbs fixated themselves on her face again. "Why does it concern you?" the youkai Lord demanded coolly.

Kagome frowned, her blue eyes darkening. "Because it's..m-mine a-as we-well.." she admitted quietly.

Sesshoumaru stiffened noticably, his amber eyes narrowing into little slits with his obvious anger. "Are you sure of this?"

Kagome glared at taiyoukai, her chin jutting out as she became angry. Her tiny fists shaking, she growled through her clenched teeth, "I'm very sure, Sesshoumaru. I am not as dim-witted as you think." she gritted out, her eyes flashing.

A tiny smirk placed itself on those sensuous lips. "You could have fooled this Sesshoumaru." The youkai responded icily.

Kagome felt her heart clench in pain. A growl was heard, interrupting the uncomfortable staring contest between the ex-lovers. Kouga stepped forward to the powerful youkai Lord who wore nothing but a towel around his lean, defined hips. "What the fuck gives you the idea you can talk like that to Kagome, Taisho!" The ookami snarled.

Kagome glanced at Kouga in shock. He wouldn't dare and try and start something with Sesshoumaru over her? She turned and watched Sesshoumaru's blank face stay in place. The amber eyes now staring at Kouga with a hazardous light in them, Sesshoumaru fixed his narrowed orbs on the over-bearing ookami.

"This does not concern you, ookami. I advise you to leave this matter between the ningen and myself or this Sesshoumaru will forcibly remove your disgusting form from this Earth."

Kouga reared his fist back and moved to hit Sesshoumaru. A white blur fast enough to be called untrackable appeared behind Kouga and pushed him into the wall. Kouga yelped when he met the wall and felt his body making a hole in it. His blue eyes dazed, he looked up to see Sesshoumaru standing over him stoically, his claws at his sides, not one hair out of place. Those golden eyes held his with a force that installed bewitching fear in the wolf youkai for the first time in his life.

Sesshoumaru turned away from the pitiful warrior and glared at Kagome. "We will discuss this matter at a more appropiate time. Until then, leave for another hour."

He then turned to enter the room.

Kagome stepped forward, anger radiating from her small body. "Y-You jerk Sesshoumaru! What do you need an hour for and how dare you do that to Kouga! He was just trying to help me!" she snarled.

Sesshoumaru stopped his swift stride to the door and slightly turned his head so an eye of his held her brilliant blue ones. "I have an engagement as of now with another wench, ningen. I make no exceptions for any one; particulary you." The youkai paused before he entered the room.

"The ookami recieved just as he deserved. He made the first attack, not I."

The door then clicked shut and the sounds of the woman and her cries of pleasure began all over again. Looking behind her, Kagome stared at her momentarily forgotten boxes. Her stomach churning in aggitation, her eyes filled with tears that managed to escape the beautiful blue orbs and trailed down her cheek. Despite the sudden numbess of her body and withdrawal of her happiness, Kagome smiled faintly, trying to push away her shock and despair. She knew she would have to face her nightmare sooner or later.

But he had come all too soon back into her life.

Hurrying to the groaning Kouga, she kneeled beside him. "Kouga-kun....dajibou?"

Mumbling, Kouga grumbled, "I'll kill him. Cold bastard. Who does he think he is talking to my woman like that?"

Kagome stiffened, her mouth agape. His woman?! Anger over-riding her concern, Kagome stood up and hovered over top of Kouga. "You're woman?! What are you taling about! I'm no one's woman!" she yelled furiously.

Kouga shook his head to clear it and quickly walked after the stomping Kagome. Grabbing her arm, he pulled her toward him. Looking down into her beautiful face, he smiled. "But you are my woman Kagome! I knew when I first saw you! I felt that-"

"Stop stop stop! I am not your woman!" Kagome yelled. Her face softening a bit, the miko sighed. "Kouga..Gomen nasai. But...I do not want a relationship. Not now. You are my friend and I've only known you for half an hour!" The young girl explained tiredly.

Kouga shrugged and turned to enter his room across the hall from hers. Stepping in, he smiled. "Thats what you say now Kagome but I will win your heart!"

Getting ready to protest such a notion, Kagome watched Kouga close his door. Standing alone in the hall, the young girl straightened her shoulders. There was no time to feel sorry for herself. She had an issue at hand and needed all her mind to solve it. Rushing towards the door, she quietly opened it.

'Tell me that I can't enter my own room? Stupid assshole!'

Sighing, Kagome dragged each box into the apartment, and looked around at the luxuriousness of her new home for two years. Blocking out the growls and moans of the two rutting people in the next room, Kagome saw an empty room down a tiny hall. Sesshoumaru had obviously known he was to have a room mate and had left the lesser of the two bedrooms for his room mate.

'Ever the generous one, Sesshoumaru.' she thought sarcastically to herself.

Walking into the small room, she noticed it had a nice view of the outter grounds of the University and a lot of sun light. Smiling forcefully, she ignored her upset stomach. This was going to be her room. With a bit of paint and proper furnishings, it would be like her other room and offer some comfort in this suddenly prison like apartment.

"Onegai! Sesshoumaru!!"

Kagome closed her eyes. Perhaps she could talk to the university about switching room mates?

"Sesshoumaru! Aaaaah!"

The girl's screeches made Kagome's left eye twitch. Screw roommates. How about universities?

_________________________________________

Two figures stood at the door now both properly dressed. Sesshoumaru looked down into the girl's pretty face with no expression as she practically drooled on him with lust and adoration.

"Okay I will see you next Wednesday." She smirked.

"You were.." The girl sighed, breaking off in mid-sentence as she smiled lustfully, her long red nails running across the washboard abs of the gorgeous demon Lord.

Sesshoumaru stepped back and opened the door. His face hard as granite, he ignored her. "Leave." he ordered.

The pretty girl glaring at him haughtily, she walked out stiffly. Sesshoumaru closed the door and turned to the living room, walking towards the large plasma television.

Stepping around boxes he knew he had not allowed in the room that belonged to a certain annoying wench, Sesshoumaru made his way down the hall to where she was. Standing outside the door, he contemplated his next move.

The infamed taiyoukai stood there in front of the door of his ex-girlfriend's room. His body unyielding, his intelluctual mind wavered as it remembered them. They had cared for each other deeply. Though he was reluctant to admit it now, Sesshoumaru had cared for Kagome more then he had ever for another living being.

That is, until it went wrong. Her feelings were false and she was nothing more then a greedy whore.

The golden eyes hardening with a pent-up hurt and fury the usually emotionless Lord hid, Sesshoumaru's claws twitched. She had lied to him and decieved him. He had rid of the wench for what he had thought for was permantely but obviously, the Kami mocked him cruelly.

For here she was; in his dorm apartments in a room she now planned to call her own. Closing his eyes, he calmed himself.

Closing his eyes, he tried to block out the memories of their last meeting. She had demanded him why. The fool. Did she really assume her mask of innocence would continue to hide her inner beast? Did she really percieve herself as an accomplished actress that was able to bewitch the great Taisho Sesshoumaru? A sneer worked itself on his pale, sensuous lips. Poor, misguided Kagome. She would learn that she had made a mistake coming bach into his life.

He had given her a fair warning; leave him for eternity unless she wished to suffer dire consequences. After a year of silence and desolation from the miko, Sesshoumaru had percieved her absence from Tokyo as her willingness of his demands. But here she was, meddling in his life yet again and still able to rise these unwanted thoughts and worst of all, these very alien things known as feelings.

Growling, Sesshoumaru glared down the hall. He hated her. If there was any reason to truly be a youkai, it was to have the power to kill with an ease he greedily called his own. But she would not suffer his claw. His eyes slanting thoughtfully, he slightly smirked. No. Higurashi Kagome would be faced with the torments she had placed upon him. He could only return the favour; merciless cruelty. Taisho Sesshoumaru was reknowned and famous for his unfeeling ability to be cruel. He could kill with out flinching, maim with out remorse and ruin another's life with out worrying of guilt. He had justly earned his name, Destruction of Cycle of Life. It was time for Kagome to view his abilities related to his feared name.

Satsified, Sesshoumaru clicked his long, perfect claws together. Yes. That would be quite entertaining. And he had an entire school year to settle the odds against his ex-girlfriend. How utterly amusing. And better yet; deliciously gratifying.

Glancing one last time down the hall, Sesshoumaru relieved his stunning face of the small expressive smirk on his lips, staring at the girl who remained ignorant to his devious plot to ruin her life in return for dishonoring him.
