Chapter1: Important Meetings

The foggy morning of dawn in the western lands made all seem calm and still. No animals were heard might they disturb the sereneness of the castle grounds and disturb the mighty force inside.

All servants in the western fortress were hectic inside running around to see to the morning chores. The new lord of the Northern lands was to arrive and have an important meeting with Lord Sesshoumaru. No servants dared wonder the halls except for a little green warty blob carrying a wooden staff that had two heads, searching for his lord.

"Sesshoumaru sama" said Jaken, "where could he be? He is not in his study and his chamber bed has already been tended to."

When he entered a corridor that lead to the gardens he heard the fierce swishing of a sword slicing in the morning air. Before Jaken approached his nose twitched, if he had one. Taking in the salty scent of sweat which he knew belonged to his lord. Jaken entered the gardens to find exactly what he heard, Sesshoumaru was practicing his battle attacks with toukijin slicing through an invincible opponent as if to cut it in half.

Sesshoumaru was dressed waist down in black satin silk pants that shined when the rays of the sun filtered through the fog. His upper body was covered in a thin sheet of sweat that showed every well built muscle move and flex. Every move perfection, perfectly placed into action, years of practice worked into his body, mind and soul till he became the most perfect killing machine. To kill without thought of consequences.

"what is it Jaken?" Sesshoumaru questioned his servant dully, with his back faced toward Jaken.

Surprised by his masters quick question he mumbled out "m-mi lord o-our guest will be arriving sh-shortly."

"do you think I do not know of such matters Jaken!" Sesshoumaru asked his servant angrily.

Again this caused Jaken to break out into little mumbles "b-but I-I thought you needed to be re-reminded." a weak sob escaped from Jaken's throat . "forgive this humble servant!"

Sesshoumaru's concentration was gone from his practice, regretfully he lowered toukijin and left the gardens, even taking the time to make sure to step on top of Jaken when he exited the gardens. Stopping at the door , Sesshoumaru took the offered hot towel from one of his many servants. Dabbing the sticky sweat from his brow, he placed it on his shoulder, then continued down the hall.

Sesshoumaru set out in the direction of his personal bathhouse, walking down the corridor that held portrait of his ancestors. From the top of the wall to the bottom of the floor stood a portrait of his father, his fathers' father and so on. Strong, deadly and beautiful demons of the west that were feared for generations for their great power. His father was the most recent portrait. Showing his deadly demon form that was fifty times the size of himself. One day he too would join the wall of his ancestors. But now... he needed to bathe.

Precisely when Sesshoumaru was just about to turn to leave, a soft puff of breath hovered over his left ear. Turning on a dime, Sesshoumaru slashed his claws outward to disembowel the entity that dare breathe upon him. His claws struck air, no one was there. No one but a empty hall way with the occasional guards and lowly servants.

Sesshoumaru touched his ear reflexively checking for foreign objects, there were none, but that didn't keep the edge out of the situation. He continued slowly towards the bath house, putting his senses on attentiveness. Someone was here, someone unwelcome. When Sesshoumaru reached the corner he heard the sound of a melodious voice ringing with soft laughter. He stopped, cautiously he peered around the corner and again he saw nothing. Sesshoumaru arched his slender brow questioningly. Who was here?

Was he going crazy? Maybe some enchantment was placed on him when he was looking at the portraits in the hall earlier. Probably a servant...or maybe a witch or even more plausible a miko. The only one that could possibly fit that category would be the that one miko wench that was always with his foolish half brother, Inu yasha. Her name...maybe Ka....Kago? No no, not that...Kagome? Yes that was it, Kagome that miko wench.

Shaking himself out of his stupor. 'what on earth made her slip into my mind? Out of all the miko's, it was her?' Sesshoumaru asked himself accusingly. "she is a just a weak human in need of a baby sitter, she has no real power."

Reaching the bath he slipped out of his silky pants and placed them on the floor for one of the servants to pick up. Walking into the steaming water instantly brought him to relax his muscles. He splashed his face with some water rinsing the sweat and dirt from his brow. The water clung to his bangs making them hang over his eyes. But through his bangs he could see a woman standing on the side of his bath. Looking at him from the other side of the bath wearing a white robe loosely tied to reveal the top of her breasts.

'How did she get in here?' he squinted his eyes in thought. "why are you in my bathing chambers wench?." his commanding voice had a very high hint of annoyance.

She only looked at him like she didn't hear him and let her robe fall around her ankles on the floor. He was surprised but didn't show it, her body was...least to say decent for a woman. Skin milky white with black wild hair cascading down her back. Her figure shape was that of an hour glass and her breast were full and peaked, even her waiste and hips were perfectly formed. Her lips, oh her lips were a soft pink and plump enough to kiss her there and now. His eyes slowly trailed up to see her eyes. There was something in her deep honey brown eyes....could it be lust? I believe so. The air was heavy with it.

He inwardly slapped his mind and scorched the fire starting to rise in his lower regions. 'no, she is of no interest to me.'

"Don't you want me in here?" she asked in a seductive voice hugging her breast while stepping into the water.

"excuse me?" hearing what she said but again surprised.

"I know you want me here Sesshoumaru-sama, I also want to be here with you." there was no lie, he could see her needs. It was him.

"Wench, I have no time for games leave or I shall have to drown you where you step!" 'didn't this wench know where she was? in my bathing chamber!' the situation was getting out of hand for Sesshoumaru's taste.

Sesshoumaru wiped away his damp bangs from his line of vision. His eyes focused on the ignorant female till it suddenly discerned to him that the woman...this wench! Actually was Inuyasha's miko, Kagome!!

Stepping deeper into the water that stopped at her waist Kagome continued toward the taiyoukai in the middle of the hot spring. Stopping only mere inches from the taiyoukai she leaned her body full press onto Sesshoumaru. Her peaked nipples rubbing against his chest, her body was strangely cold to the heat of the water.

Sesshoumaru felt his spine straighten from the unwanted contact. she felt his tension and to ease it to her liking, she placed her left arm around his back and started to trace her index finger slowly up and down his spine.

"relax sesshy" she cooed softly into his ear. All the while rubbing her lower body into Sesshoumaru's groin. The friction from Kagome's stroking and rubbing was causing Sesshoumaru's sexual fire to spark. His body soon began to ease at her touch and craved for more which caused him to growl possessively in his throat.

Sesshoumaru swiftly grabbed Kagome and constricted her tight against his body, crushing her chest against him marveling at how her body just molded against his. He growled low in his throat and started to nibble lightly at Kagome's neck.

Kagome mewled in pleasure encouraging Sesshoumaru on with his pleasurable act. Sesshoumaru's responded to her cries, grabbing her ass he lifted her out of the water, she clasped her legs around Sesshoumaru's waist and securely wrapped her arms around his neck.

Now both of them could see the lust in the each others eyes. Both looking for a way to lose that pent up sexual desire. Kagome's chest was heaving with her panting breath and Sesshoumaru looked on hungrily at how appetizing her breasts heaved up and down. He dove onto the left breast nipping and suckling greedily as a newborn pup.

Kagome moaned and arched her chest into Sesshoumaru's face, wanting more. He then turned to the other breast giving equal treatment as the other. The naughty deed was too ecstatic and Sesshoumaru needed more than her breasts to satisfy his need, his eyes strayed up her neck to her flushed lips.

Kagome gave Sesshoumaru a sly smile knowing what he wanted and leaned farther from his face teasing him, by arching her back to expose her breast to him. Growling at her antics, Sesshoumaru pushed her back up to him and seized her lips in claiming kiss. Making Kagome giggle, Sesshoumaru delved his tongue deep in her mouth tasting the sweet mouth. Their tongues danced in a battle of lust for true dominance.

Its was Kagome who broke away first gasping for air. Sesshoumaru smirked, he was the victor and now he would answer the throbbing call of his inner demon. But before he could, Kagome acted first.

Kagome began to softly kiss him on his lips occasionally nipping his bottom lip between her teeth. It was pure ecstasy, soon he would take her and she moan his name until she dropped from exhaustion but that wouldn't stop him from taking her again and again.

"Kagome" Sesshoumaru growled huskily his eyes turning a hazy red.

As soon as he said her name her kisses stopped. Sesshoumaru blinked his eyes rapidly like he had awoken from a dream. Had she disappeared?

Sesshoumaru looked around him to see if she just moved away from him but alas she was actually gone. Then remembering his earlier predicament he frowned at his early actions and silently be raided himself of his actually doing them.

He slapped the surface of the water and scoffed "I have other important matters to waste my time in."

With that said he stepped out of the bath and wrapped a towel around his body to dry and used a towel on his head to dry his hair and then his tail. Dressing in a robe after removing the water he headed toward his bed chambers to prepare for the new lords arrival.

Dressing in a deep moss green kimono with silver embroidery of swords that cross between each other at the tips of the sleeves and a crescent moon on his back. In which the whole outfit made his long past waist length hair standout very pleasingly.

He stepped out of his chambers and headed for his study while he waited for the lord to arrive. Sitting behind his desk he opened a neglected scroll from last night and began reading about some complaint from a nearby village about a previous raiding from murderous bandits and requesting for some assistance.

"Humans are despicable, always looking for others to do their work and solve their problems." Sesshoumaru stated with disdain.

"mi lord?"

"enter." Sesshoumaru commanded.

The door slid open to reveal Jaken who bowed to his lord. "mi lord, Lord Jin has arrived." he replied.

"send him in Jaken and then leave us." Sesshoumaru said without glancing up from the scroll.

"yes mi lord." Jaken exited the room and informed Lord Jin he may enter.

It wasn't until Jin entered the room that Sesshoumaru placed the scroll aside and looked at the Lord of the Northern Lands. Jin entered the room with regal grace. Every step he took looked as if he were to be gliding . He faced Sesshoumaru and gave him a respectful bow in greeting. But not low enough to look inferior.

When he stood back up he gazed at Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru observeed Jin's eyes were a shocking oceanic blue covered by his jet blue bangs while the rest of his hair trailed down to a low loose braid that reached his waist. Jin had a handsome face with high cheek bones, a strong chin and a cute smirk. He wore a white kimono with blue cuffs and feather patterns.

He bowed again to Sesshoumaru "It is an honor to meet you lord Sesshoumaru. I hope we may together form an alliance of peace and respect."

Sesshoumaru looked at the bowing lord with a bored unimpressed face and replied

"I hope you don't plan to mislead me with your pitiable act of being serious in front me Jin. I have known you since we have first crossed swords and you were never serious as to such matters. We both know that you are vain when it did come to serious matters."

Jin looked up at Sesshoumaru in mock outrage "Sesshoumaru-sama, it hurts me to think that you would say such things. When I my self, believe I did exceptionally well and I labored over that line and entrance for a entire minute." he then gave Sesshoumaru a good-humored smirk "and I do believe I executed it perfectly."

Sesshoumaru looked at Jin in an annoyed manner that said "If I could bitch slap you, I would" and then changed the subject.

"Why do you choose to make an alliance when I already aligned with your father?"

"Come now Sesshoumaru, you know that since my father passed away I need to keep his old alliances and make new ones for peace between the lands. Here now, I thought you were smart."

Sesshoumaru sighed. This day was getting on his nerves and the sun wasn't even up yet. First the miko in his bath house and then Jin. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples to try to relieve some of the frustration building up inside his head. Then as on impulse his thoughts went to that miko again, her eyes wanted him and her body was willing as well. Sesshoumaru's body gave a little twitch at the thought.

"Having a bad day Sesshoumaru?" a curious Jin questioned.

"That is not your business. " Sesshoumaru stated.

Jin could tell anyways, he could see that Sesshoumaru's aura was wrapped around something else. He tapped deeper into Sesshoumaru's mind and saw a woman's shadowy figure. Just who was this woman he was thinking about and most importantly...why?

"So, is there a special someone on your mind Sesshoumaru?" questioned Jin gently breaking the silence. This was an interesting matter to him and he would find out who and why Sesshoumaru was thinking of a woman. But what sort of woman?

Sesshoumaru's eyes snapped open, he looked across at Jin in a annoyed manner. 'he is reading my thoughts, the sneaky bastard.'

Changing the subject again Sesshoumaru asked " I see you have enhanced your powers to extend to read auras and minds."

Jin nodded. "over the extension of 5 years of suffrage and excruciating migraines to achieve, yes, yes I can read auras. Though I am interested why your thoughts about a alliance have to do with a woman." Jin prodded with a curious raised brow.

Sesshoumaru growled warningly at Jin and spoke to him in his icy tone. "That would not matter to you. The only thing you need to worry about is a alliance between the north and west."

"Your correct Sesshoumaru, my apologies." Jin apologized. Only half heartedly, he wanted answers.

Rising from the floor Jin dusted the invisible dirt off of his kimono and bowed to Sesshoumaru. It was time for him to return to his lands or the demons there would retaliate and try to start an uprising.

Sesshoumaru also stood from his desk as well and walked Jin from his study to the balcony that overlooked his lands. By now the sun was crawling skyward from the east to peak over at the western fortress. The fog had cleared and the animals were now making their voices of welcome heard to the morning sun. even the flowers raised their heads to welcome the suns warm rays.

Jin looked at the morning sun with a grateful smile, he too was glad to see the sun shine on the western lands. The palace of ice needed to thaw.

Breaking the silence Jin replied "Well, I trust you take in consideration about our alliance together Sesshoumaru. Our fathers would be proud to know that their sons have kept the peace between the lands."

Sesshoumaru's only response was a "indeed." the morning was as dull as ever through the western lords eyes. Just another blinding ordinary day.

"Time for me to take my leave and return home." Jin announced gladly. Stepping up to the balcony edge Jin extended his great immense hidden wings and stretched both till the tips reached the balconies ceiling.

"We will continue this matter later, in my homelands." with one great pump of his wings he flew off and was a barely distinguishable dot in the sky. Sesshoumaru stared at the stray feathers left from Jin's wings as they dance down to the floor.

"Perfect, his wings are molting." he sighed. 'he could of mentioned that before he left'

Sesshoumaru left the balcony and ordered Jaken to have the feathers removed and make sure they were disposed of. Sesshoumaru strided back to his chamber to think of the occurrences that happened in the last few hours. Not about Jin but about this miko that inwardly invading his thoughts. The same miko that followed his brother. The same miko that pulled the tetsugia free. The same miko that was in his bath. The same damn miko!

'why am I so spellbound by this woman?' Sesshoumaru questioned his sanity. 'she is a human! kami!'

"I must keep my mind free and clear of Inu yasha and that wretched miko. Only then I will be able to forget her." he vowed to himself.

It worked the rest of the day. Sesshoumaru buried himself in scrolls and his sword practices until it was time for him to take another bath. This time he was sure she would not be there. Sesshoumaru was again wrong.
