You by Jarakuheart

You

It was fourth time she was called to the castle. Once a week, for the past few weeks, Kagome was asked to help with Rin, Who a few weeks ago, came down with a cold. She could understand why she was called back a second time, but when the lord of the castle invited her a third and fourth time she was confused.

"Alrighty Rin! You are all better!" The little girl launched herself into the fifteen year-olds arms.

"Thank you Lady Kagome!" She quickly ran out the door to pick some flowers, and play with Ah-Un.

"Children are so full of life." Kagome stretched out her arms behind her and yawned a little. "But they are not the only ones. Let's see, there are optimistic people, and those like Inuyasha, who think they can take on the world. Hmm... There are also lovers." She sighed after her last statement

"So you are in love" Kagome jumped at hearing his voice. Behind her was Sesshoumaru standing in a doorway, looking as mightily as possible.

The woman-child walked over to the demon, her hair slightly swaying with her body's movement. "It wouldn't matter anyway. I am not meant to fall in love." She tried to walk passed him, but the demon grabbed her hand.

"Why?" He asked. It was a simple question, but so many answers came forth. Was it because she did not know what time to stay in? Or was it because any man she fell in love with, did not want her? Maybe it was because anyone who fell in love with was just not right? Who knew? Kagome just sighed.

"Sesshoumaru, I have to go. Inuyasha-" She was cut off by being pulled into a strong chest.

"Inuyasha is a fool." When Kagome looked into the demon lord's face, she saw nothing, but when she looked in to his eyes, she saw jealousy. 'Is he jealous of Inuyasha? No! He couldn't be! Could he?' "He does not know what he has. He is spoiled, and does not realize it." Sesshoumaru started to wrap his arms around her. A panic button had been triggered inside Kagome's mind. 'Warning! Warning! Demon too close! Demon too close!' "But I realize what he has," His voice was silky, and calm. "Do you know what he has?"

Kagome thought about this for a few seconds, and relayed her answer "Tetsusaiga" He chuckled a little. 'What happened to Sesshoumaru?' This was not like him. Normally he would try to kill her, or Inuyasha, or just plain ignore them. Now he was laughing like that had known each other their entire life.

He brought his face down to her ear and said one word that would change her life forever. Kagome's body completely froze over. No one would ever say that to her again, at least she doubted it.

That one word made her see the world in a different light. It made her feel special, and yet a small amount of fear gripped her.

"You"
