Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Inu-Yasha.

He ignored her body for the moment as he made his was to his servant, Jaken. He was honor bound to either revive her from death, which would be easier then to wait for her to heal. It would take seconds for her body to heal if she was revived from death, then to wait the two to three days it would take her to heal normally. He stopped in his tracks as he felt her youkai energy suddenly die. Cursing to himself, he turned toward her body, but quickly turned back to Jaken. The cat youkai can wait. When his eyes narrowed in on Jaken's body, he found . . .

A/N: Mwahahahah, sometimes I feel so evil. You guys will have to wait a little longer to find out what Sessy found. Here have a virtual brownie or maybe a cookie. Brownies actually sound really good but its 3:39 in the morning. Sigh I can't make any right now, but I swear as soon as it turns daylight, its BROWNIE TIME!!!!!! Cool thing about virtual food is . . . it's FREE!!! And it has NO calories.

Sabrina shot straight up from her sleep. Sighing, she swung her legs over her bed and walked to the bathroom. Running the water for her shower, she thought back on what had happened in the other world. In the other world, she was the youngest daughter of a Youkai Lord. And she had gotten into a fight with a very powerful inu-youkai.

That is going to hurt when I come back. She gulped, unless I'm . . . dead. I'll be really surprised to see if I wake up in the other world. Damn, I still haven't found my grandmother. She is the answer to my quest. After ten years of looking, I still haven't found her. My mission is vital.

She knew her grandmother wasn't in this world, but in the other. There was a special connection between her and her grandmother. Her grandmother was The Keeper of Knowledge.

She showered quickly, dressed and brushed her teeth. Sabrina had to be at work early. She was finally going to meet her boss, who had been conducting business around the world. Sabrina had been hired by his last personal secretary. Good thing the secretary had told her the boss didn't get in until 9 every morning.

After dodging traffic on the highway, she made it to work only ten minutes late, instead of the usual forty-five minutes. Sabrina sighed. She couldn't help it her mind was miles away, still focusing on the events that had happened in the other world. Sabrina wasn't paying attention as she stepped away from her car in the parking garage.

The sudden screech of tires snapped her out of her daze. Just as the car was about to slam into her she leaped over the car. Straightening her skirt out, she turned to see the driver get out of his car.

Sabrina's breath caught in her throat as she watched him walk over to her.

The first things that came out of her mouth as soon as he was with in hearing distance were "Are you stupid?!?! You nearly killed me!!"

She watched as his eye brow twitched and he looked coldly into her eyes. Sabrina held her breath as she waited for him to speak.

The man looked her over. He looked for injuries, and found none. Stupid Humans, never seem to pay attention. He nearly growled, but held himself in check.

After a small silence he mumbled "Stupid female" and walked back to his car.

Her jaw fell slightly open as she watched him drive away. He hadn't said an apology like she had expected. The comment was a blow to her pride as well as her femininity. Arrogant jerk, not all women are stupid, and I certainly am not one of them.

As she made her way to the elevator, she played the scene over in her head. Once in the elevator, she recalled how he looked. Long black hair fell loose past his waist and his bangs barely touched his eyebrows. His eyes were a golden hue. That face of his is perfect. His body looked on the slim side, but you can never really know with his clothes on. He might actually have a nice body, especially without his clothes. She mind started to go south from there until she heard the little ping of the elevator.

Stepping off, she headed to the cafeteria. She talked to a group of friends as she ate less than she talked. Around 7:43, Sabrina walked in to her office where she waited for her boss to come in to get to his office.

Around ten minutes later a body popped out of her boss' office. She jumped as the body came into her line of sight. Looking up immediately, she found her new boss was the guy who had nearly run her over earlier that morning.

"Hehe . . . um . . . good morning Mr. Samaruto."

Gulping she waited to hear "Your Fired," but it never came. He stood silently just watching her. She started to get nervous and started to fidget. Sabrina looked away and he seemed to come back to himself.

She stood up from her desk and stood with her back facing away from him. She walked to the window and looked out. Sabrina was still waiting for the inevitable `Your Fired.'

"How did you do that?"

His question caught her totally of guard and her eyes snapped back to his. Some minutes passed by, when Sabrina's eyes suddenly widened as she realize her body's energy falling drastically.

His eyes also widened in surprise as she fell to the floor. He caught her and he turned her body to face him.

"I'm fine" she said but he could tell that she wasn't. Confusion was clearly written all over her face. Suddenly her body arch in his arms and her eyes closed the moment her body went slack. He picked her up and carried her into his office where he had a couch. He barely got there when he felt his own strength begin to drain. He plopped on to the couch with her still in his arms. As soon as his body lay fully on the couch, as well as hers, all his energy left him.

~:~:~:~:~:~:~

The Western Lord stopped in his tracks as he felt her youkai energy suddenly die. Cursing to himself, he turned toward her body, but quickly turned back to Jaken. The cat youkai can wait. When his eyes narrowed in on Jaken's body, he found . . . chains? Why would chains bind Jaken? And more importantly who would bind Jaken? Taking out his sword he slashed through Jaken and saw the chains disappear from around his servant's body. He inhaled deeply, the smell of magic shimmered in the air around Jaken and youkai against the tree.

He quickly turned around; the magic around the girl was the strongest and ancient. Her youkai energy was gone, as were her royal youkai markings, clearly indicating the female dead. He took out Tenseiga and swiped it across her body. Lord Sesshomaru waited several minutes in which all he heard was one heart beat and nothing else.

**********

Sabrina felt herself falling as well as her energy. She suddenly found herself in emptiness instead of at the office with her new boss. Nothing surrounded her but black. She remembered pain before she arrived in this place.

**********

Annoyed and angry Sesshomaru gathered most of his life energy and swiped his sword against the female again. Nothing happened.

**********

She saw two white lights, one on each side of her. Something swiped across her and she looked down at herself. Nothing was there, but she suddenly felt herself pulled toward one light and then the other one started to pull at her. Pain filled her body as both worlds fought to bring her back.

**********

This time he gathered all of his life force and still found many hidden wells of life energy and drew from those. He also used all of the power in Tenseiga and rammed the sword straight into the female's heart.

A bright blue light engulfed Sesshomaru and a white light engulfed the sword. The colors smashed together as Sesshomaru forced his life energy into his sword to flood into the female's heart and body.

The two separate colors changed into a light blue color and flooded her whole body. As he pulled the sword away, the wound his sword caused healed instantly. Her body jerked and convulsed still pulsing from light blue energy.

**********

Sabrina was silently screaming as the pain increased. The worst pain came when something streamed into her body through her chest. The light to the right blinked out and the light to the left pulled her closer. The pain ended and she felt close to busting with what ever had entered her body through the light to her left.

**********

Sesshomaru watched in shock as her body rose off the ground and her body began to thrash wildly in the air. Her body was healing itself and her life force was returning. But he had never seen this type of reaction. He had never even had to use Tenseiga and his own life energy to this extent before.

Her body no longer lay horizontal but vertically in the air. Suddenly Lord Sesshomaru felt a pulsing in his own body. He soon realized his body was calling his energy back. Seconds after the realization, Sabrina's youkai body slammed into his. Her body pinned his to the forest floor.

His hands were pinned by his head, giving anyone who where to be walking by, the impression of the lord being subservient. Steadying his breath he realized the female was straddling his hips and leaning over him. Her breath hit him square in the face and her hair fanned around them in a curtain of indigo hair.

Her eyes were completely white, but as he looked deeper, the color literally swirled with white and blue. Completely shocked, he stared at her. He quickly came out of his daze when he felt puffs of warm spiced breath hit him in the face. The female leaned closer and kissed him square on the mouth. His eyes widened momentarily and then closed. He felt his own energy come flooding back and he opened his mouth to accept it back.

Soon it wasn't about getting his energy back but about the kiss. The French kiss lasted long after the lord of the western lands got all his energy back. Realization came to Sesshomaru that he had it all back, and he snapped his eyes open. He felt complete shock. He also felt it coming off in waves from the female, who was perched on top of him. He felt her stiffen up and become completely still. Her lips were still locked to his. She suddenly pulled her hands away from his wrists and placed them on his chest to levy herself up.

Sabrina was completely shocked to see her attacker under her with his hands still near his head. His fingers were curled slightly in a relaxed position. He was even panting for breath like she was. He looked so vulnerable. She licked her lips, they felt slightly swollen. Something tasted really good. It was her blood and his blood mixed together. She tasted some blood where his fangs had scratched her tongue. She could even taste his blood; I guess he scraped his tongue on my teeth also.

She looked up into the sky and the stars shown in the night sky. Feeling weak again she looked down at her attacker's face, and she lost consciousness. She fell straight forward onto the western lord.

He was still in shock. He couldn't move until his energy had leveled itself out. He watched the sky start to lighten and the stars fad, when he suddenly came back to reality. He found the youkai still perched on top of him and her sweet breath was tickling his ear. His youkai side was going wild. Shit . . . I'm going into heat. I'd better find her a place to stay. Hopefully well enough away from me.

Not totally thinking rationally but clearly enough to remember Jaken was somewhere near by, he picked up the female in his arms and Jaken in his cloud. He managed to get the cloud several feet off the air and following him. Impatient to get the cat youkai away from him, he sped off towards his estate.

Several minutes later his animalistic youkai side was taking over. The moment he jumped over the wall of his estate he dropped Jaken and made his cloud disappear. He ran passed his servant so fast they all merely thought it was actually the wind.

Making it all the way to his room, he slammed open the door and threw the woman onto his bed. He slammed the door closed and placed a spell on it so he wouldn't be disturbed. Sesshomaru's balcony door was open and a cool breeze blew in carrying the female scent along with it. He inhaled deeply and he came back to himself. She is a bother I should just kill her. He was at his bed in a flash with his uninjured hand against her throat. His claws dug painfully into her neck.

The moment the smell of her blood hit his nose, he lost control again. At the sound of her whimpering, (A/N: the whimpering is from the pain) Lord Sesshomaru's animalistic youkai side went completely wild. He ripped off her whole shirt and it lay on the floor in taters. He laid half on top of Sabrina and half off. He licked her blood completely off of his claws and leaned in close to her face. He sniffed her scent. The western lord detected the scent of his own poison mingling in with her blood. He sniffed around her neck and found he had used poison there. The sudden urge to heal a potential mate became the lord's number one priority. He moved her head to the side. Gathering enough healing saliva in his mouth he began to lick one side of her neck. The saliva would neutralize his poison.

Feeling something hot and moist slide across her neck Sabrina groggily woke up. She grabbed on to Sesshomaru's sleeves and moved higher up to grip his silky hair. She pulled his head closer to her neck, it feels so good. Although she was still in a daze, she realized who it was by the color of his hair and pulled his head away.

Feeling himself being pulled away from the spicy tasting blood he growled a warning to return him to his `treat.' (A/N: much like a dog Mwahahahaha) At the sound of him growling he watched her snap her head up to look him straight in the face. He growled louder hoping she got the hint to let him go so he could begin again.

She quickly looked away and unconsciously turned her head the other way. The western lord resumed neutralizing the poison, while savoring the taste of the female's heavenly blood. She felt puffs of his breath hit her as his velvet tongue slid across her neck. She squirmed slightly liking the sensation way to much. Sabrina's hands ran through his hair to his scalp where she grabbed a firmer hold on his head and pushed him closer. The moment the female began slide her fingers through his hair closer to his scalp, he started to purr.

The sensation of the potential mate's fingers gliding through his hair and nearly petting him made him purr in delight. His healing saliva was already neutralizing the poison and healing the wounds on her neck. Her scent hit him full on and his new priority was now . . . getting a mate.

Fangs pierced the newly mended skin at the base of her neck. He bit down harder making sure the mark was deep enough to form a permanent scar. Sabrina mewed in pain. He had let the demon instinct take over.

Suddenly it hit him. He was marking her . . . as his mate. Shit!!!! He lifted his head for the second time and growled loudly. Confusion was clear on her face, and her markings began to change into his. He continued to stare at her until she let go of his hair. Standing, he quickly left his own room.

The confused and dazed look cleared, sometime after his departure. Sabrina became aware of what he had done. She was angry but more confused than almost anything. As the female drifted into sleep she was still contemplating the inu-youkai's actions.

The first servant to enter the lords room quickly left after realizing there was a "marked" youkai in the master's bed. Other servants were sent to assist the "guest" in any way they could. They all waited inside the room at first, but fearing their master's wrath, they began to wait out side. The cycle repeated itself. After several hours and shift changes, most of the servants had at some point had seen the mate markings and could detect the scent of their lord. As night descended and the air turned chilly, one servant pulled a blanket over the shivering, topless youkai. The whole estate was a buzz with the news that their lord had finally marked a mate, but that her virginity was still intact. Many of the servants were relieved their master finally deemed someone worthy of being his mate. They were all curious as to whom the young female youkai was, but none dared to ask.

His servants found him pacing for hours on end in his thrown room. None dared to go near him. Only his human pup dared approach him when he was in a bad mood.

"Otousan?" Rin called.

Sesshomaru stopped pacing, but did not turn around at the sound of his pup's voice. "What is it Rin?"

Rin tugged on his sleeve, "Where is Okaasan going?"

Sesshomaru instantly tensed and speed off to his bedroom. Sliding the door open, he found his room trashed and the balcony door wide open. He calmly walked over and around the wreckage. At the window he saw a streak of blue and silver, the wind rushed at him, bringing her scent along with it. Unaware he inhaled deeply.

Suddenly he began to chuckle. Where are you going with my blanket? His thoughts turned serious and his chuckle stopped. His demon side raged. You can run all you want, but I will find you.
