Victims of Circumstance by MistressDiana

Chapter One

Kagome sat at the edge of the hot spring in the woods, she looked out at the sun setting and felt the scalding hot tears that were making their way down her cheeks. Her midnight tresses cascaded around her like a curtain and her sapphire eyes resembled the water below her. Her shoulders shook with the shear force of her sobs and a gasp was torn from her rosy lips. She could sense who was coming and they were coming fast, this did nothing to improve the state she was in. It just made it all the worse when seh felt his strong, pulsing aura licking against the purity of her own powers. She shook in spit of herself when she felt them walk up behind her, their presense almost overpowering.

"Miko..." The low pitched voice called out from behind her but she did not answer, however unwise it may be. "Kagome..." The voice said again but she simply pulled her legs close to her chest, until he grabbed her arm and pulled her up to her feet in front of him. "What in the hell is your problem?" But it was said calm, not angry, unusually calm.

"Sesshoumaru." Kagmoe whispered and something flashed through her eyes, not fear, but something else entirely. "You, you're what's wrong with me." She said boldly as she took his face in her hands and kissed him with a fire that boiled his blood and sent his beast clawing at its cage, he pressed her flush against his body and she moaned into his mouth. His hand moved to the front of her shirt to fondle her breasts, his hand continued its journey dowards and as it reached her stomach she let out a sharp hiss of pain and backed away from him. He looked at her curiously and she turned her back to him. Sesshoumaru stepped closer to her and was very displeased when she attempted to get away, he grabbed her firmly by the waist; ensuring that she wasn't going to go anywhere. "No, don't!" Kagome protested as he pulled her shirt up to reveal a still relatively deep gash. He raised those golden depths to her sapphires in a silent question, Who did this to you?

Kagome's eyes shifted downwards for a while and then back up to his, and that in and of itself gave him the answer.

"Hanyou.." Sesshoumaru growled lowly, his beast roared for the blood of the whelp that had harmed what was his.

Kagome simply kept he head downcast in a demur, submissive pose. Which was not at all like the firey, emotional, and headstrong girl she normally was. It was almost as if she had been broken emotionally as well as psychologically. Sesshoumaru grabbed her chin rather roughly and made her look at him.

"What did that worthless piece of hanyou filth do to you? Sesshoumaru growled out in anger.

"He--"
