The Mikos Curse by hellspixie18

gilded cage

A/N Okay people this is my first fanfic. I have read so many, I finally decided to write one myself. I plan to involve you the readers in deciding as to what will happen at important parts. I will put down choices of what may happen and you can vote by review or e-mailing me. You can of course give me your own suggestion and I will try to fit it in my story. Sesshomaru may seem very OOC, and I am extremely sorry for this but he is a very hard character to figure out. If you can help me with this problem I will not only dedicate a chapter to you but I will be so very grateful. Sorry if my story does not make sense at first all will be explained later on down the plot. Please ask questions if you are confused and I will answer as best I can without giving the whole story away.

CAUTION: This story is rated M for a very good reason. They will be violence, language, very explicit lemons, and a possible rape scene. If you are not 17 and up or you do not like any of the above listed I suggest you turn back NOW! You have been warned so don't blame me.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of it's characters however I do own this story and any character that is not from the anime. Any additional disclaimers will be noted when needed. I will not post this on every chapter. It is the same story therefore the same disclaimer applies to the rest of the chapters.

Chapter Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to my sister Julie who has always encouraged me to go after my dreams and do what is right. She has always been there for me no matter what and I just want her to know I love her with all my heart and she is never far from my thoughts. Love you Jules! Thank you for everything.

The Miko's Curse

Chapter one: A Gilded Cage

(Sesshomaru's POV)

Two years he had held her captive in his castle, only asking for one thing in order for her to win her freedom. For two years she steadfastly refused to give him what he wanted. His patience was at its end. She would give him what he wanted willingly or he would take it by force. He was tired of her refusals to go to bed with him. He had tried being polite, not exactly nice, but he was definitely polite. He would wait no longer. She will make her final decision at the end of this week, either way he would get what he desired. At the moment though he had to see if she would submit to his will yet. If not then he would tell her she had a week to make her final choice.

Kagome was tired of all of it. He was always asking her to go to his chambers with him, and every time she refused he would growl and say that she will grace his bed it was just a matter of time. Secretly that was what she was afraid of. She knew that each time she refused to grace his bed of her own free will she pushed him farther and farther to the breaking point. She remembered the first night he had asked her to accompany him to his chambers, it had been a week after he had first captured her and he had been injured while patrolling his lands. She had thought he wished her to tend to his wounds even though in reality they were not bad and were already healing on their own. She sure had the surprise of her life. Instead of tending his wounds she had found herself on her back with a very aroused taiyoukai on top of her. He hadn't even let her step fully into his room before he had quite literally swept her off her feet and into his bed. She would have found it quite funny and amusing if it hadn't been so terrifying. Sesshomaru let her up after smelling her terror and she fled his rooms like the hounds of hell were on her heels. After that incident she refused to even go near his rooms let alone inside them.

A sound at her door pulled her from her thoughts and she knew he was there to once again ask for something she would never give, not to him at least. He had asked her everyday the same question, and each time he asked her, the answer was the same. He would always turn and go back out the door once he had his answer. This time would be no different.

Kagome silently admired his beauty as he walked through her sitting room door. Yes, he is quite handsome but still he is just like Inuyasha, only wanting one thing from you and once he gets it thats it your out the door. she reminded herself. He pulled her from her thoughts with the one question she had come to hate in the past two years. She silently laughed at herself, question yeah right Kags, it is more like a demand that I refuse to give in to.

" Join me in my rooms." he demanded, clearly frustrated that she refused to do so for the past two years.

" I love Inuyasha, I will not betray him." she turned her back to him expecting him to leave as he always did after having heard her answer. He did not leave, but instead asked another question.

" You are still loyal to him even though you know he is and never will be loyal to you?" he asked in that oh so cold tone that sent shivers down the spine.

Kagome smiled a little before answering " I have always known from the very beginning that when it came to him choosing between Kikyou and me, he would always choose her. He proved it to me time and time again, and as much as it hurt I understood his reason. I accepted it a long time ago. Kikyou was and is his first love, you never forget your first love. I know because Inuyasha is my first love and I will never forget him. I will not betray my love for him, I never will. He cares for me in his own way, otherwise he never would have tried rescuing me even though he knew he would not win. He has tried countless times over the past two years and each time it gets harder and harder for you to fight him off. All I have to do is wait long enough and I will be free of this gilded cage."

" You still refuse me." he all but growled out at her. "You have one last week to change your mind. You may come to me at anytime during this week, but I warn you now wench, if by the end of this week you have not come to me of your own free will, you will not like the consequences of your actions or lack there of. I have been patient long enough." he growled the last sentence out.

" Would you rape me then? Are you that dishonorable? Tell me Sesshomaru, why is it you wish me to adorn your bed? To see Inuyasha's face when you tell him you have taken what I would have given to him had he wanted it? You despise humans, so why do you wish to bed one so badly? You may be able to take my body by force but know this and remember it well, I will never give myself to you. I will die before I willing lay under you. Be warned should you decide to try and rape me you won't get me without a fight. I may not be able to completely purify you but I sure as hell can cause you pain." she said getting louder as she got madder.

(Kagome's POV)

Oh kami, What have I done? He's smiling, it is never good when he smiles. Good going kagome just piss the demon off so he can rip you into tiny shreds and have you for an appetizer! He is definitely going to kill you now. But damn it all if he would explain why the hell he wanted me in his bed I wouldn't have said all that stuff because I would know the actual reason for his actions and I wouldn't be antagonizing him! Not once in the two years he has held me here has he bothered to give me an explanation as to why I am here other then to be mother/teacher/protector of Rin and to warm his bed. I assumed when he first brought me here it was to trade me for the tetsaiga or to hurt Inuyasha. Now though it seems there is a lot more to it then what I had originally thought and a lot more he isn't telling me. She looked at him with a critical eye trying to figure out just what he was smiling about, and with a mental sigh turned her full attention on the demon lord in front of her.

" Now that I have your complete attention I will answer your questions. I am tired of waiting so yes I will. It is not considered a dishonor to take what you want in fact it is quite common in the demon world, especially for the taiyoukai's. As for the reason of why, I do not have to explain myself to you ningen. Seeing my half-brothers face when I tell him is just an added bonus. You are not entirely human, you are miko and very strong. I will take your body but know this miko, your innocence is your weakness. I very much doubt I will feel discomfort let alone pain, you may be a strong miko but you know not how to use it." and with that said he walked back out her door.

Kagome was afraid at the weeks end he might actually attempt to rape her. He wouldn't be able to, she had made sure of that. Somehow she had known that first night when he had her on his bed and his eyes had briefly flashed red that it would come to this. So for the past two years she had trained herself to control her power, practicing and perfecting her protection barrier and her offensive attacks. She could hold up a strong barrier for almost a week, even when she was sleeping. The problem was when her energy finally drained low enough for him to break trough it, he would still be on the other side just waiting for her to collapse. She had to escape before the week was up, the only problem was how to get off the castle grounds? She was never allowed outside unless she had either Sesshomaru with her or three of the elite guard. She turned to go into her bedroom a plan forming in her mind.
