It was dark and Kagome knew that everyone was asleep, well, almost everyone. The only exceptions were her and Inu Yasha. He had snuck off and went to go see Kikyo, the dead clay pot that he had claimed as his mate several weeks prior. Kagome shook her head and smirked. She had known that he had claimed Kikyo because she had been there to witness the marking, however, to her surprise, she was not upset. She started to fall out of love with the hanyou when he started to lie to her and his name calling reached an all time high. Kagome knew that Kikyo had told him things that caused Inu Yasha to feel that he was obligated to be with her both in hell and in the mortal realm. But, again, it really didn't hurt anymore. No, Kagome had found a new passion.

She had been waking up in the middle of the night lately and had started to take long walks. Sure, one might call her stupid for taking these walks, but they calmed her and allowed her time to think. She always brought her walkman with her and would only turn it on when she got to a place where she could sit and contemplate her life. On a few occasions, her thoughts had been painful and she had allowed the music from her walkman to sweep her away and she would find herself dancing. She loved to dance, and for a moment, she was free of the duty to the shikon. For the moment, she forgot about Inu Yasha and Kikyo. She could forget all of the unkind words that were meant to hurt and concentrate on the gentle sounds that rang in her ears.

So, on this night, she followed her usual pattern. She would wait until Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and Kilala fell asleep and then waited for Inu Yasha to run to Kikyo before she would get up, grab her walkman, and then begin her walk.

As she walked, Kagome thought about Inu Yasha and his attitude toward her. It was usually nasty and almost always resulted in her 'sitting' him. And as always, he acted as though he didn't understand why she had said the magic word. It had occurred to her that he had the maturity of her brother, Souta. But, Souta never treated others as Inu Yasha treated her. As far as Kikyo went, well, there was nothing to really say about her incarnate. She was no longer the benevolent miko that she had heard stories of, now, she is a vindictive bitch who never seemed to tire of torturing her reincarnation.

Then, her thoughts turned to Kouga. In many ways, he was a really good male. He always looked out for her, and even proclaimed to love her. He never spoke down to her and had claimed that she was his woman. So, when Kagome had finally seen Inu Yasha for what he truly was, Kagome had been prepared to give Kouga a chance, but again, fate decided that she was to once again fail because on the next meeting with Kouga, he pulled her aside and told her that since she only saw him as a friend, he had mated Ayame and that she was now pregnant. Kagome had felt her breath catch and could feel the sting of tears, something that had not gone unnoticed by Kouga. He had grabbed her arm and begged her to tell him what was wrong. She had looked into his face and then sighed. Instead of telling him the truth, she wrapped her arms around his neck and congratulated him and Ayame, saying that they would be wonderful parents. When asked why she was crying, Kagome explained that humans cried when they were happy, and she was very happy for him. He had started to smile and brag that his pup would be the strongest of the land before he bid her farewell. As she watched him run off, she felt her heart leave as well. Damn, if only she had meet him before she met Inu Yasha.

Even Hojo had decided to move on. He had started to date Yumi, a friend of hers and had been excited to say that it was because of her that they met. She had only nodded, and smiled when the happy couple ran off, hand joined together, and into the sunset.

Kagome's thought then turned to her friends, Sango and Miroku. They had somehow found that they were perfect together and they announced that they were going to get married after the battle with Naraku. Kagome had smiled, of course. How could she tell her friend that she desperately wished that she could be her? All Kagome wanted was to be loved, and each time she had the chance, Inu Yasha made sure to kill all hopes by either running the male off or telling her a stupid lie to get her to stay beside him.

As she got to the clearing, once more, Kagome found herself in tears. She turned on her walkman and started to dance the dance that she did every night, and soon, she lost herself in the melody, unaware that a pair of golden eyes were watching her, had been watching her from the very first night that she had started to dance. She had become his private dancer.

#########################################

Sesshomaru had heard enough of Jaken's mouth. He had swatted at the toad, knocking him unconscious and had suggested to Rin that Jaken seemed to be in the need of flowers. Rin squealed and took off to the massive garden and began picking flowers for her beloved Jaken. Sesshomaru was sure that by the time Rin was finished with Jaken, he would be covered from head to toe in daisies.

He almost always patrolled his lands in the evenings. It was cooler and he didn't feel rushed. He could patrol his lands at a leisurely pace and not have to worry about having to take Jaken and Rin along. It was his time to think and to relax, though for him, relaxing meant that he did more thinking.

He had been on patrol when he first saw her. She was in a meadow that Rin loved to go to and pick flowers. The moon had been full and she was bathed in its light. Her sensual body swayed to music that only she could hear, but to him, she moved like a petal on a soft breeze, and she didn't have a care in the world. Normally, he would have ignored her and continued on his way if he was feeling generous or if he was feeling feisty, he would have approached her and frightened her. But, for some reason, he found himself lowering to the ground and watching her dance.

At first, her dance had been slow with careful movements, but lately, she had started to do the same movements with ease and speed. He often found himself imagining that he had joined her in her dance and had to wonder if she would allow him to join with her. But, of course, being who he was, he scoffed at the notion of her allowing him to do anything. He was the lord of the western lands, and did not need anyone's permission to do anything. But, he still watched and imagined. And as always, he was disappointed when her dance ended and she left the meadow. To him, she was a goddess who had fallen to earth for his pleasure.

However, her scent did not go unnoticed by him. He knew exactly who she was. She belonged to his half-breed brother. She was the miko wench who never failed to stand up to him and she never showed him any fear. It occurred to him that she could not be from around the area. Her indecent clothing, though she did look very appealing in them, and her manner of speaking were strange. She spoke as though she were an equal of her male counterparts and he had to wonder why his half brother never put her in her place. He made a quick decision. He would follow the hanyou's group and find out for himself about the woman named Kagome, his little private dancer.

#########################################

It had been almost a month since Kagome had last danced in the meadow that resided in the middle of the western lands. Kagome missed that meadow and was happy when Inu Yasha announced that they would be returning to the area for a few days. The last time he said a few days, they had remained in the area for nearly two weeks, following shard information and each time being let down. But, Kagome never minded, it just meant that she could be in her meadow again.

After a hard day of shard hunting, Inu Yasha announced that it was time to make camp. He had been on his game that day when it came to trying to humiliate Kagome, but she ignored him, and could hear the frustration in his voice grow with each passing moment. Apparently, Kikyo had been filling his mind with ideas and he decided to confront her with what he thought he knew.

"So, Kagome. Why don't you go and see your friend, Kouga? I am sure that he misses you very much." Inu Yasha said, as he crossed his arms.

Sango and Miroku stared at the hanyou and miko. They had also wondered why Kagome had not gone to Kouga to tell him how she felt. After their last meeting, she refused to say what had been said, but only that Kouga was a very happy wolf demon. Now, perhaps they could hear what she had said to Kouga to make him happy. They listened with eager ears. Unknown to them, another set of ears was also listening, almost straining to hear.

#########################################

Sesshomaru was upset. He had heard the hanyou ask his dancer a question about the wolf prince and he was curious. Could it be that Lord Kouga and Kagome had a secret relationship and that she was his woman? If so, that would not be something he would want to know, but he had to hear her say it. Perhaps he could end this ridiculous fascination with her and her dancing. So, he eagerly waited for her answer, but when he got it, it was nothing that he expected.

He watched as Kagome cleared her throat and replied, "Kouga and Ayame are mated. They have a pup on the way. He told me at our last meeting."

The exterminator and monk got up and went to her side, doing their best to comfort her. The hanyou, on the other hand, decided to rub her nose in it. "So, another male came to his senses and chose a real woman over a little girl. Good for Kouga, perhaps he has more brains than I gave him credit for." He said, smirking.

The exterminator stepped forward. "Leave the camp, Inu Yasha. Leave and go to your whore. Yes, we know about you and Kikyo, so don't bother to deny it. Just go." She said, as she readied her weapon to throw at the hanyou.

Inu Yasha's ears flattened on his skull and all he said before leaping away was, "Feh."

The monk looked at Kagome and tried to comfort her, but her tears were already streaming. She shook her head and stepped back. She took in a deep breath and said, "I am going for a walk. Please don't follow me. I don't know when I will be back, but there is food in my back pack."

The monk nodded, and watched as she retrieved a small black box with another weird looking thing out of her bag before walking into the woods, and away from them.

Sesshomaru looked in the direction that the hanyou took. He could not believe that he actually shared his noble blood with that creature. How dare he say such things to Kagome? Well, he would pay the hanyou back in full. In fact, he and his half brother were long over due for a talk.

Sesshomaru bounded through the trees and followed his half brother's scent. When he found him, he saw the hanyou with the dead miko in his lap and they were both naked. He got closer to them, and thanked Kami that he was down wind. He stopped when he heard them laughing.

"So, the wolf abandoned her as well. Good. She doesn't deserve to have anyone love her. Let her suffer for her crime against me." The dead miko said, giggling.

Inu Yasha cuddled her close. "Let's not talk about the bitch. This time is just for you and me." He said, as he nuzzled his mark.

Sesshomaru turned away and was disgusted. He jumped away as a smile formed on his lips. He would deal with the dead miko in his own way, but first, he would go to the wolf and confront him on his treatment of Kagome. As for the hanyou, he had a better way of dealing with him than letting death claim him. He would tear his soul apart. But, now, it was time to deal with the wolf. How could he go to another when he had Kagome? He would make the wolf pay for Kagome's tears.

He traveled swiftly after making sure that Kagome was safe and had found her to be asleep. He allowed himself to come to a stop beside her and got very close to her. He breathed on her and gently ran his tail over her soft body, allowing his essence to cover the sleeping beauty before taking off again. He wanted to make sure that any wandering youkai that dared to approach her would know that she was under his protection and no youkai alive was foolish enough to attack what belongs to Sesshomaru, the aristocratic assassin.

#########################################

He finally got to the wolf den that he knew the wolf prince inhabited. He made his presence known and watched as the wolf demons cowered away from him. Finally, the wolf prince, followed by a pregnant red headed wolf demon came to the mouth of the cave. Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed dangerously at the female, and he watched as she took a step back. Kouga stepped in front of his mate and politely asked, "What may I do for you, Sesshomaru-sama?"

Sesshomaru directed his piercing gaze at the wolf. "Tell me, wolf. Do you consider yourself honorable?" He asked, his gaze never leaving the leader of the eastern wolf tribe.

"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama, I do." Kouga replied in a confused tone.

"Explain to me what happed between you and the miko Kagome on your last meeting." Sesshomaru said, folding his arms across his chest.

"Though I am not sure what business it is of yours, Sesshomaru-sama, but if you must know, I went and told Kagome that I had mated and had a pup on the way. She congratulated me and gave me a hug. That was all." Kouga replied. Now he was curious. Why would the famed human hater want to know what happened between him and a human miko? He stared at the demon lord with curious eyes.

Sesshomaru froze. He had not known that Kagome had accepted the wolf's union. Boy, he really stepped in it this time, however, the wolf and his people would never know that he had jumped before looking. So, he cleverly covered himself and said, "Well, it seems that my brother has decided to use the miko's affections for you against her."

Kouga stood before the demon lord stunned. Kagome had affections for him. He swallowed nervously. "Sesshomaru-sama, Kagome and I are only friends. She has no affections for me except for friendship." Kouga said.

Sesshomaru turned to leave. "Not very aware of your surroundings, are you? Well, she is no longer your concern, but if you are honorable, I would suggest that you confront the hanyou and explain to him that your relationship with your mate is not to be used as material to use against a woman that loved you." He said as he formed his cloud.

Sesshomaru floated away, leaving Kouga to stare after him. His heart hurt. Kagome loved him and he broke her heart. He should have known that was the reason why she started to cry, but he was so wrapped up in the thought that he was finally going to have a pup of his own that he failed to see her pain. He felt a hand upon his shoulder. He looked down at Ayame, who smiled up at him. He sighed and smiled back at her. He was a mate now, and soon to be a father. Though a huge part of him still loved Kagome, he also loved Ayame and he would never leave her. But, he did make the decision to do right by Kagome and deal with Inu Yasha. He would not be used as a weapon towards Kagome for the hanyou's sick pleasure. Turning, he wrapped his arm around Ayame's waist and helped her back into the den, before he set off to speak with Inu Yasha.

#########################################

Sesshomaru flew back to the meadow and was happy to find Kagome still asleep. He had worried that she would have woken up and left the meadow. Smirking a bit, he watched as she turned over and mumbled in her sleep.

He sat in a tree for a couple of hours and then heard a commotion in the distance. From the sound of it, the hanyou and wolf were having a discussion. Well, he would take the opportunity to go and speak with the dead miko.

Leaping through the treetops, he followed the scent of earth and rotting flesh until he found her. She was still undressed and she appeared to be waiting for Inu Yasha to come back. He carefully masked his scent and approached her. He smirked when she opened her eyes and saw him.

Kikyo was not stupid. She knew exactly who he was and had an idea that he was here to confront Inu Yasha over that sword of his. She smirked at him and said, "Inu Yasha is currently dealing with a rude wolf, so you will have to wait your turn in speaking with him"

Sesshomaru growled. "I am not here to speak with him, bitch. I am here to end your life." He said, before allowing his acid whip to lash forward and strike the dead miko down. She didn't scream, only exploded into dust. With a satisfied glance, he walked away from the tree that held the corpse, and now her remains. He could see several souls hovering above him and he knew that he had done the world a favor. He jumped into a high tree and went to go and watch the battle between the mutt and wolf.

#########################################

Kouga and Inu Yasha had been at it for almost an hour. Kouga had confronted the mutt at the tree and had to choke back an urge to throw up at seeing his rival in the arms of a corpse. It was disgusting. He had challenged Inu Yasha, and the mutt gladly accepted the battle. Soon, both participants were worn down and were breathing heavily.

"You don't deserve her loyalty, mutt face. You should let her go and be happy." Kouga wheezed.

Inu Yasha tried to laugh, but ended up nearly choking when his laughter turned into a fit of coughs. Finally, he managed to get out, "Why? You have a bitch of your own to worry about. Besides, Kagome belongs to me and I won't ever let her go. She is my property, so mind your own damn business."

Kouga shook his head. "And your brother wondered about my honor? Mutt face, you have no honor at all. Kagome loved you, and you treat her like shit. It is not fair to her." He said.

"MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS, WOLF" Inu Yasha bellowed, raising tetsaiga and running toward the wolf, however, before the death blow could be struck, Sesshomaru had intercepted the blow by shielding the wolf with tokijin.

"I made an error in wondering about the wolf's honor, something I will not do again, however, I do believe that the wolf was right in saying that you have no honor at all, Inu Yasha. You are pathetic, screwing a corpse when there is a vibrant young woman who stood by your side. Kouga, do not lower yourself anymore with this half-breed. Accept my apology for disturbing you and your mate. This Sesshomaru never apologizes, so consider this the one time you will ever hear me say it and feel honored. Now, leave." Sesshomaru said, staring at his brother.

Kouga spat at the ground where Inu Yasha stood, and then took off. He had made his point, and knew that Kagome was far better off alone than with that mutt. He hoped that she would find a mate someday that would lover her as she so deserved. He ran towards his den and his future, and he didn't look back.

Sesshomaru stared at the hanyou and then looked away. "I am only going to say this once. Do not come near the miko. She is not for you." He said, as he looked into the sunset.

Inu Yasha began to laugh. "And she is for you? I don't think so. You hate humans, and she is human. A stupid human, but a human." He said, snickering.

Sesshomaru glared at his younger brother. "She is not stupid. That title is reserved for you. Go back to your whore. I have business to attend to." He said as he formed his cloud and eased into the sky.

Inu Yasha shook his head and walked back to where Kikyo was, however, when he got to the tree, he saw that she was not there. But her scent lingered. He leapt into the tree and to the branch where he had left her, and saw that it was covered in dust. His eyes filling with tears, he raised his face to the sky and screamed for his lost love.

#########################################

Sesshomaru made it back to the meadow. Kagome had awakened and was currently dancing. He allowed a rare smile to grace his features and he sat down. Tonight, it would be different. Tonight, she would dance with him.

She continued to dance as though she didn't have a care in the world, and he decided that he had waited long enough to become her partner. He allowed his swords to fall to the ground, along with his armor. He walked slowly towards her and allowed his aura to spread. He knew that she would sense him, and when she did, she stopped and looked up at him. He had come closer to her and he noticed that she had funny looking things on her ears. He watched as she pulled them off and then said, "Umm, good evening, Sesshomaru-sama." She bowed politely, and waited to find out what he wanted. Instead of telling her, he moved closer to her, his heart speeding up as he got closer to her. He could see the fear in her eyes and he leaned forward until his lips were next to her ear.

"Dance for me, little one." He whispered, before giving her ear lobe a gentle lick.

Kagome pulled back and she stared at him. "Dance for you? Why?" She asked.

"Because, it makes me happy." He said, placing the funny looking things over her ears once more.

Kagome sighed. She was not about to tick him off, so she decided to do as he requested. She closed her eyes and began to sway to the music. She did not realize that he could also hear the music. As she swayed, he too, began to sway until they moved like a unit. He reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist and then took her other hand in his. He led her around the meadow, dancing together in the moonlight and enjoying every single step. For once, Sesshomaru felt free from his duties and only wished to continue to dance with her. A decision was made in that moment. He would gladly dance with her for the rest of his life. He moved his hand from her waist to pull the things from her ears again. Once it was removed, he leaned over and kissed her cheek. He closed his eyes and allowed her scent to wash over him.

Kagome didn't know what to do. She had never really been this close to a male. Well, she had been close to Inu Yasha, but that didn't count. Sesshomaru was caressing her left cheek while he kissed her right one. What in the hell was going on?

Sesshomaru felt the conflict in her mind. "Do not think, Kagome. Just feel. No more crying over a boy who doesn't know what he wants. Let me show you what it means to be loved. Let me dance with you tonight, and prove to you that you are indeed worth of a man's love." He said, as he leaned over to place his lips upon hers.

For a moment, Kagome stood still. She had never had anyone speak to her in such a way. She felt his lips on hers and then sighed. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head when she felt his tongue enter her mouth. Her eyes acted as though they had a mind of their own, and slid shut. She felt Sesshomaru gently grab her arms and placed them around his neck. He controlled the kiss, never allowing it to become frantic, but never allowing to be too soft, either. He could feel his passion stirring for his private dancer and he knew that he would have to have her on this night, under the moon's watchful eyes.

He was very careful with her when he allowed his claws to cut her shirt, to be followed by her bra. He felt her break the kiss and take in a sharp breath. He looked down into her face and said, "Do not be shy with me, Kagome. I think you to be the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Please, let me see you."

Kagome blushed and stepped back from him. She felt his eyes wandering over her chest and she fought the urge to cross her arms over her breasts. She had been staring down at the ground when she heard the rustling of cloth. When she looked up, she nearly gasped. The demon lord was standing before her in all of his glory and without a stitch on his body. Kagome swallowed the lump in her throat and watched as he walked toward her. He allowed his claw to rip through her skirt and watched as it fluttered to the ground, ruined. His golden eyes stared at the thin piece of silk that ran between her legs. He had never wanted to be anything so badly before, but now he wished that he was the piece of silk. He liked the way it covered her sex, but still managed to tease him. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. He wrapped his left arm around her and used his right claw to run through her hair. He smirked as the knowledge that he would be the only male to ever sample her body and he would never allow any to take her away from him. On this night, he would make her his mate. He looked down at her and realized that she was staring at him with a look of curiosity. He decided not to keep her guessing. He leaned back down and kissed her, this time, it was passionate and left no room for her to wonder what he wanted. He felt her stiffen, and then relax. He smirked into her lips and lowered her to the ground, never breaking their kiss.

Once she was on her back, he moved his mouth down to her neck and began to lick and suck on the area. He glanced at the area where he would mark her and then realized that he could detect a bit of arousal from her. He allowed his hands to stroke her breasts, bringing the nipples to hardened peaks and causing her to gasp and moan. He felt her thighs spread apart and he marveled at her eagerness to please him, and he was pleased. He moved his left hand down and began to stroke her sex through the thin barrier of silk. He felt the moist wetness and nearly lost his mind when he realized that she was already at the point where he could take her, but he wanted to please her and give her something to remember for the rest of their long lives. She would share his blood and his lifeline as well. He wanted to be the one she dreamt of at night and he wanted to be the one she could say gave her the greatest pleasure.

He continued to stroke her, smirking again when her back arched off the ground. He allowed his claw to remove the thin strip of silk and allowed his finger to delve into her wetness, seeking her bud. He heard her cry out and her tiny hands clutch his sides. He continued his actions and allowed his claw to draw out her pleasurable torture. Finally, she threw back her head and screamed his name throughout the meadow.

Sesshomaru knew that it was time to join with her, but he loved the expression on her face. He leaned over and said, "I wish to make you mine, Kagome. Will you allow this union?"

He nearly smiled when he saw her nod her head. It was clear to him that she was tired, but he decided to go ahead. He ran his penis up and down her slit, making sure that he was well lubricated. Once he was sure that he was slick enough, he thrust himself into her, tearing past her virgin barrier and driving himself to the hilt. He groaned, but then concentrated on Kagome. He knew that she was in pain, and he stopped all movement until she told him that she was ready. To distract her from her pain, he kissed her, and wiped her tears away. When her breathing calmed, she smiled up at him and he took that as a sign to start moving. And move he did, or rather, he danced. Together, they moved in harmony, never missing a beat and they responded to their partner's silent commands.

Soon, Kagome was catapulted into an orgasm, and he followed, roaring his release before he cut open his lip and then biting the junction between her neck and shoulder. He felt his blood mix with hers, and he marveled at how well she took the marking. When he pulled back to look at her, she gave him a tired smile and he noticed that her eyes were drooping. He chuckled and then slowly pulled out of her. He reached over and grabbed his haori and placed it around her nude form. He stood up and put his hakama back on before moving to get his weapons and armor. After he placed his undershirt back on, he donned his sash and armor before placing his swords back on. He gathered Kagome's torn clothing and the tiny magic box before he picked her up into his arms. He glanced around the meadow, making a mental note to bring her here often. He would enjoy watching her dance, and perhaps join her. He was about to take off when he saw a pair of eyes that were similar to his looking at him. He smirked and said, "Look at what you could have had, Inu Yasha. She will never be yours. Enjoy your life, half-breed."

Inu Yasha watched as his brother took off into the air with Kagome in his arms. He looked around and walked over to the spot where he had seen Kagome and his brother making love. For the first time, he understood what Kagome had felt all of those times that he ran to Kikyo, and now, she was the one who was mated and he was the one who would get to cry himself to sleep. The saying is true: Karma is a real bitch.
