New Powers by Sesshoumaru's Angel

Chapter One

Inu-Yasha felt sad and hopeless again. He had felt hope when he had picked up her scent. Now... they had lost it and god knows what Sesshou-Maru was doing to Kagome right now. Maybe he was going to contact them and keep her hostage... Inu-Yasha doubted that... that just weren't his style. He would probably do something really horrible to her, or he would kill her... or... he'd make her lose her mind... if he could do that. When he had reached the end of the field he had thought that maybe he would be able to find them, but when he lost track of them at the river. Inu-Yasha hung his head. Sesshou-Maru had probably done something that made Inu-Yasha un able to feel their scent at that place. Kagome was amazed at her new powers. She could melt things just like Sesshou-Maru could and she was almost as fast as him! Her hearing and her eyesight had become much better too, not to mention her ability to smell things. She could also do those mighty jumps like Inu-Yasha. And not to mention her big black beautiful tail she had gotten.

She smiled as she melted a big boulder without any effort at all. She hadn't tried her bow yet but she was pretty sure that she'd become better at archery too. Sesshou-Maru were standing beside her and smiling, he was obviously very pleased with the way she had turned out. "Try to lift something heavy" He said and pointed towards a huge tree trunk nearby.

I hadn't tried out my strength yet, so why not. I walked towards it and was amazed at how easily I lifted it, it felt so light! Normally I wouldn't be able to lift more than one side of it... and that with much effort. "Throw it over there" Sesshou-Maru pointed towards a tree on the other side of the clearing. I threw as hard as I could... and it flew over the trees.

Sesshou-Maru frowned "I told you to throw it over there" He then walked towards me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "Why did you throw it over the trees?" He asked me.

"Because I haven't learned how to control my strength" I said and brushed away his hands. And then I grabbed another tree trunk and threw it directly at the spot he had wanted me to throw it at. "Impressive... for a beginner" He grinned at me and I glared at him.

"For a beginner?" I asked him and put my hands on my hips. "I bet I could beat you easily" I said and smiled.

I actually knew I couldn't beat him bit he was just so cute and fun when he said... "Really? You haven't become overconfident because the new powers, now have you?" I smiled and walked towards him.

"Ohhh... you might be stronger... but I'm much more talented than you" I said and waved a hand at him.

"Oh?" He said and grinned widely "Now just at WHAT would you be more talented in?" He asked her.

"Everything," I said and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. His hands slipped around my waist and he bent his head down to kiss me.

Then she suddenly thought of something and broke the embrace. Sesshou-Maru frowned "What?" He said and folded his arms. "I was just wondering..." Kagome began "How come... I've got poison talons and black stripes like you?"

Sesshou-Maru sat down and motioned for her to do so too.

"When I ripped open your chest and put the jewel there..." Kagome looked at him with a serious expression. "You began feeling big pain, didn't you?"

"Yes..." Kagome answered.

"That was because you were dying... the jewels power wouldn't be enough to just heal you like that when you were a mortal" He said.

"I lent the Jewel power by kissing you and holding you down... then that glow began surrounding us and the jewel made you the same sort of demon as I am... you wouldn't have been turned into a demon if I hadn't done that"

"Ohh..." She said.

Sesshou-Maru studied her for a moment. "Why? Don't you like your new powers?" Kagome smiled widely and held up a hand "Like them? I love them?!" She yelled and slashed at the air.

Sesshou-Maru smiled and crawled on top of her. "Good" He said as he bent down to kiss her again. This time however... she didn't pull away.

Inu-Yasha felt a sudden chill go through his body, he didn't know why but he just knew it had to do with Kagome.

"What's wrong Inu-Yasha?" Miroku asked, he may be a pervert but he did care about his traveling companions... especially Kagome, but she was gone. Inu-Yasha growled at him. "Don't tell me you're thinking about Kagome again, are you?" He asked him "But after all... what else would you be thinking of?". Inu-Yasha ignored the priest and continued walking. They were walking the way they thought that Sesshou-Maru might have taken her, but if they were unlucky... then they headed the opposite way. Inu-Yasha knew that he'd probably pick up his brothers scent if they got closer, but now they had been walking for a day... Inu-Yasha really didn't know what to do.

Kagome was sitting in a tree, she was bored. Sesshou-Maru had gone off because of some important business of his.

Kagome was now left alone in the clearing... since he told her to stay there... however... The demon version of Kagome wasn't someone who liked to take orders... and she really didn't like waiting "Where the f**k is he!" She yelled and ripped off one of the branches of the tree.

She was getting really bored... and there weren't anyone here to play with. Then she heard a dog barking, and she smiled. She jumped down from the tree. A few feet away a big beautiful dog stood. It was black and had a big fluffy tail. Kagome smiled and walked closer to the dog. "Hello there doggie" She said and smiled cutely. The dog wagged his tail.

"Where do you come from?" She asked and stroked his head.

"And what a beautiful tail you've got... much like mine" She stroked her own tail fondly. The dog barked happily. "But what to do with you?" Kagome asked. Then she shredded the dog before it could even blink.

"Hmm... that was no fun... he died so fast" "Of course he died" Kagome turned around fast, it was Sesshou-Maru again.

"Sesshou-Maru..." He smiled evilly "You know... you don't have to say my name everytime you see me... just 'hello' or something is just fine.

He walked towards her with a look of satisfaction on his face, he stops about a feet away from her.

"And just where have you been?" She asked him, sounding half angry, half curious.

Sesshou- Maru didn't answer and turned away from her, he then walked away again. She grimaced, what was he up to. When he re emerged he was holding a set of black clothes... and armor... and also some kind of weapon.

"I got you this" He said and put it down on the ground. She eyed him for a moment.

"You? getting something for someone else? without you getting any profit in it? Sesshou-kun are you sick?" She smiled a smug grin at him and he glared back at her.

"Well... I DO get something out of this..." He said "... and that's a veeery valuable thing, which I think is MOST pleasant" He said, still not looking up.

"Oh? and just WHAT would that be?" She asked and folded her arms. "You" He said and smiled seductively, she just smiled back at him.

"Welll... I don't know... I don't want to be easy... you know?" Sesshou-Maru grinned "What else do you want?" He asked her.

Kagome thought for a moment, then another moment, and another one, and one more, and *I think you get the point*.

"Well...?" Sesshou- Maru did not like waiting "Have you thought of something?" Kagome smiled.

"Oh yes... many things" Sesshou-Maru groaned a little.

"And you wouldn't be able to get them." She said and made a cute-fake-pout. "And why do you think?"

Sesshou-Maru did believe in himself and took it as a challenge from her.

"Since it comes from my world..." Sesshou-Maru looked surprised "Another world? That's why you're so strange?"

She sent a glare of death in his way. "That's why I am so UNIQUE... no it's not... it's because of my undying beauty and... my intellect" She said.

"You like yourself don't you?" Sesshou-Maru asked.

"Very much" She answered.

"Well I like myself too..." His voice than turned to a whisper "...and you too".

He smiled and leaned forward for another kiss, she pushed him away gently and gave him a teasing smile. "And what makes you think I like you?".

"Because I'm so good looking, intelligent, and made you a demon? Or... it could be because my wonderful voice and my powers" He said.

"Yes... it must be one of those... or all of them... or, I just like the way..." She suddenly stopped and smiled evilly "You are such a bastard".

"I know..." He replied calmly.

"I just thought about something..." She looked thoughtful. "What did you think of?" Sesshou-Maru asked, half curious... and half... something else.

"I was just wondering... how come you changed your attitude towards me... just because I came to my senses...? I mean, I DID after all destroy your plans several times... and I think I'd kill the one who did that to me" She said.

"Isn't it obvious why I didn't kill you?" He asked her, she shook her head. He sighed "Well... you see, why waste a life?" He asked, hoping she'd buy it... she didn't.

"Yeah right, and since when does the great demon lord Sesshou-Maru care about any life? and especially a mere mortals life?" Kagome asked him.

"Normally I wouldn't... but aren't you glad I did?" She glared at him "Answer me" She said.

He sighed again "It is like this... since the moment I first saw you... I was amazed. Not just from the power coming from you but also from your courage... and long legs" She threw him a Yeah-right-like-I'd-believe-you look.

"No really, I was truly amazed by you... any other girl would have gone screaming... those are so boring, now YOU on the other hand... you stayed." Then his smile turned into a frown "You stayed and helped my worthless brother get the fang which belonged to me! that was why I wanted to kill you there" He looked at her she was looking a tad surprised.

"And then... the next time... you saved his worthless life again... and I felt so mad, I was thinking that maybe you'd be a fun human to 'play' with. I had a dream about destroying your soul and body... torture you until you died... painfully, but not before I had killed my brother and all your loved ones before your eyes... but that, dream... was a nightmare. I realized I really didn't want to have you dead, some sort of strange feelings began forming inside of me... I knew one of them... but the other one, that feeling what unfamiliar to me. I began feeling like a wreck when I didn't see you and when I couldn't stand it anymore... I finally... decided to go after you... I was lucky to find out that what had happened to you" He then raised his head again and searched her eyes for any sign of an emotion... Confusion.

She was very confused. Was all this that he had just told her had been the truth, she asked herself. She didn't know how to respond... he had just told her that he loved her.

Sesshou-Maru knew that she couldn't possibly love him... yet but he hoped that she would learn to love him, for now... these passionate moments they had together was enough for him, he could get her heart later... he already had her body. He smiled.

"I am very flattered" She said "And I just think that we'll work splendid together" Kagome said and smiled.

"Annnd... why don't we take care of your little brother? To make up for what I did to you? We'll kill him and you'll get the Tetsusaiga. I will get the rest of the shikon shards he's carrying. Deal?" She said.

"Deal" He replied and swiped her up in his arms again.
