~Kagome POV~

I could feel his eyes glowering and narrowing at me.

I should feel afraid but I have been his companion for as long as I could remember now that I knew no matter how annoyed he was with me…he would always indulge me.

"Ahw…come on Sesshomaru!" I whined at him giving him a smirk "Lord Elrond said that we had to be in attendance for this meeting"

His ever present stoic face firmly in place regarded me but it was his golden eye that gave him away. I could tell he didn't want me to get involved with the problems of men, elves or anyone else in general. It was challenging to make friends but the few I had I held dearly.

It had been while we were still hunting Naraku back in Feudal Japan that I became part of Sesshomaru's pack by accident. He had been injured saving Rin and was losing too much blood. I had been walking around the forest, angry at InuYasha for saying that I was useless. I could hear someone crying so when I went to investigate I ran into their camp. I patched the demon lord up and from there I sort of stayed by his side. He treated me better than InuYasha and I had grown tired of chasing after the foolish hanyou. Sesshomaru saw potential in me and began to train me.

InuYasha had been furious when I told him that I was going to stay with his older brother but I was past caring. In the end after Naraku was defeated InuYasha remained in the edo village. I never knew what became of him; last I heard he had been pursing some human girl.

We had lived together for about 200 years in Japan when the Shikon Jewel brought us to this realm. That was over 100 years ago.

Oh yeah…my age. Well it turns out that the Shikon Jewel didn't want to be destroyed and instead fused with me.

Yup, I am the jewel now in human form. I became immortal, the jewel decided it was too bothersome to try and find another guardian.

Lucky me huh?

Only Sesshomaru knows of this of course. I trust him with my life and would do anything for him and I knew he would do anything for me too. He never cared for power that was not his own so my being the Shikon Jewel didn't faze him at all.

It had been 100 years back that a worm hole in time and space deposited us to this strange new land. Demons where not viewed kindly and the ones we have seen have all been mindless creatures. The existence of the elves, dwarfs and humans where baffling not to mention the goblins, orcs and other nasties we have ran into over the years.

I am all Sesshomaru has left so he is overly protective of me. We mostly stayed within the Blue Mountains…..away from the eyes of the darkness and man.

We had been traveling the lands when we first came upon Lord Elrond. I took a liking to him immediately much to Sesshomaru's distain. The old and wise elf had been surprised that I was willing living with a demon though at first he didn't know that Sesshomaru was a demon. We stayed in Rivendell for some time; it didn't take long for the elves to realize that Sesshomaru was not the average demon, nor that he was like any demon they have ever seen.

Sesshomaru, of course, didn't care either which way.

Lord Elrond had been sad to see us go, wanted for me to stay in Rivendell but I could never leave Sesshomaru and he did want to stay with the elves. He was looking to rebuild his empire and the Blue Mountains seemed to be the perfect location.

It was two days ago that we received word from the wise old elf, said the he will need of our assistance in a matter that involved all inhabitants of middle earth. Sesshomaru didn't like to involve himself with the problems of this strange land but I could not turn my back if I had the power to stop whatever evil wanted to rule this land.

"This Sesshomaru does not like to be summoned to this meeting like a common peasant" he growled.

I rolled my eyes and turned to back and grabbed his hand "Come on Sesshomaru-sama" I said giving him puppy eyes "I miss Lord Elrond and Arwen….please?"

I heard him sigh and I smiled in triumph hugging him "Very well koneko" he said calling me 'kitten' in our native language. I missed Japan, missed my family but it was a dull ache now; as long as I had my Sesshomaru-sama….I would be fine.

Calling on his demonic cloud we flew up…towards the elves.

Sesshomaru has not changed in all his years of being here. He has not even changed his style of clothing. I grew very handy with the needle and thread so we would buy silks and I made our kimonos and hakamas. He was currently wearing a white and royal blue kimono shirt with silver blooms on the edges of the sleeves, his hakamas where still white and his sash was the same as ever along with his armor and pelt. Tenseiga and Bakusaiga where still on his side and have saved our lives on more than one occasion since being in this strange new land.

I wore a similar outfit, I didn't like wearing female kimono's….it was too bothersome during a battle. Instead my kimono top was a royal blue and my hakamas where white, only difference was that instead of the bellowing style that Sesshomaru wore, mine where a bit more tampered to the leg.

I still carried my bow and arrows along with my own katana which he trained me to wield long ago. I was good, but I was still far more comfortable using my miko powers and bow.

It was early the next day when we descended from above in the middle of Rivendell. I saw Lord Elrond smile kindly at me.

"Lord Elrond!" I said running up to him and gave him a hug.

"My dear Kagome, it's been too long" he said before looking above my head at my guardian "Lord Sesshomaru, thank you for coming"

"Hn"

Something's never changed.

"So what is the urgency about?" I asked as we walked with the elf.

"A great evil has surfaced" he said gravely "A council has been summoned in order to deal with this threat"

I nodded to him "Of course"

I looked back at my DaiYoukai sending him a silent plea that we should help as well. His face didn't change but I saw the way his eyes melted from golden ice to molten gold. A subtle changed that no one other than me could have detected.

Lord Elrond showed us where we could eat and freshen up until the time came to go down to the meeting. I pulled on a light mint green gown with long bell sleeves and a silver belt that displayed my small waist.

"I do not like this" said Sesshomaru while I took a bit of my roll and cheese "I know you will want to get involve in whatever trivial matter is going on"

I pinned him with a look "Be that as it may, I want to hear what this is all about"

I left no room for arguments and continued to eat my snack my mind wondering what would in store for us. It was much later that Sesshomaru and I where gestured to an open aura where several people where taking their seats. I recognized a few of them like Frodo, Gandalf, and Aragon but the rest was a mystery to me. It was then that Elrond started to speak.

"Strangers from distant lands, friends of old. You have been summoned to answer the threat from Mordor. Middle Earth is on the brink of destruction, none can escape it"

I heard the low 'hn' from Sesshomaru who sat next to me behind Lord Elrond.

"You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate this one doom" continued the elder elf.

I looked around, noting the looks several members where giving one another. Sesshomaru got more than his fair share of curious glances. There was not one person who looked like him with his tall lean frame, his facial markings and long silver flowing hair. It didn't take a genius to see that he was not human but it was his pointed elfin ears that made humans think he was a very rare elf.

"Bring forth the ring Frodo"

I watched as Frodo walk timidly to the stone slab and deposit a simple looking golden ring. The look of utter relief in his face made me raise an eye brow. What was so special about the ring? I glanced at it and automatically the feel of absolute evil reached me. I shuddered delicately, that ring was a just as bad as the tama use to be and suddenly I did not like where this council was going with this.

I looked up at Sesshomaru "I think you were right…..we should have minded our business" I whispered in our native tongue softly.

He huffed gently nodding slightly "Indeed" he murmured. He didn't move nor did he give any indication that he was even paying any attention merely wrapped mokomoko around my shoulders as a sign of comfort.

It wasn't until I heard Gandalf staring to speak in the black speech that my attention was drawn to the man who was awfully close to that ring.

"Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatuluk, agh bursum ishi krimpatul"

I drew Sesshomaru's tail closer to me as the words made my very soul shudder. I was very sensitive to evil; my soul recoiled and flinched in the presence of such evil. It did not mean I was weak against it, it just meant that I didn't like being around it.

"Be still my little one, this Sesshomaru will protect you"

I gave him a small smile "Hai"

"Never before has any voice uttered the words of that tongue here" said the angry voice of Lord Elrond.

Gandalf apologized but I knew why he did it. Gandalf would not speak words that where not necessary. He caught my eye and sent me a small wink making me smile gently at him.

Standing up he explained himself and why he uttered those words. He was old and wise, if the ring was not destroyed, that foul tongue would be heard on a daily bases. I shuddered at the thought.

It was then that the human man said the stupidest thing I have ever heard…..mind you that I have traveled with InuYasha for a long time, I've heard my fair share of stupidity but this took the cake in my opinion.

"This is a gift. I gift for the foes of Mordor"

I rolled my eyes as the man stood up.

"No matter the dimension, it seems all humans are utter fools" spat out Sesshomaru in Japanese making me almost agree with him.

I saw the sky blue eyes of a blond elf male make eye contact with me for a moment before going back to the human man.

I had no experience in the love department. After the whole InuYasha incident I was not ready to fall in love again and now with Sesshomaru, well I had better luck becoming a Kami than any kind of dating. The dog demon was super possessive and did not like to share. His feelings towards me where not romantic in the bit but I was his only kin, he did not want to part with me.

But even without any experience, I was old enough to tell a handsome man when I saw one and that elf was sexy with a capital S.

"You cannot wield it. None of us can" said the stern voice of Aragon "The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master"

Now there was a smart man I thought to myself feeling proud of him.

"And what would a ranger know of this matter?"

I had to stifle a giggle.

The blond elf sprang from his seat "This is no mere ranger"

Oh crap….

"He is Aragon…..son of Arathorn, You own him your allegiance"

The human man looked at Aragon in disbelief and I for one, couldn't believe that the cat was let out of the beg so theatrically.

"This is Isildur's heir?" said the human in disbelief.

"And heir to the throne of Gondor"

Well…..blondie was just spilling all kinds of beans wasn't he?

"Sit down, Legolas" said Aragon in elven not sounding angry at all. He had to know that sooner or later….people where going to find it out but I was willing to bet that he had hoped for the later.

So…that was Legolas. I have heard of the prince of Mirkwood but never seen him before. He looked young I noted but knowing the elves….he was probably older than even Sesshomaru was, something that did not bode well with my demon lord. He has grown used to being the oldest in our land but here….we where both mere children to the elves.

"Gondor has no king" said the human idiot going back to sit in his chair but not before muttering "Gondor needs no king"

"Yeah….because things are going sooooo well for the white city right now" I said sarcastically earning me a glare from the man and a concealed chuckle from Gandalf and Aragon.

"Women have no business in the affairs of men" said the human man still glaring at me.

Sesshomaru growled low at him "You will do well not addressing my ward in such a disrespectful tone human before you lose your tongue"

Even though his face gave nothing and his tone sounded flat and expressionless the aura coming off of the demon lord spoke volumes. The man swallowed and remained quiet.

"Aragon is right" said Gandalf hoping to break the tension between Sesshomaru and the human male.

Lord Elrond stood up "You have but one choice. The Ring must be destroyed"

I could have sworn I heard hissing coming from the ring. I looked at it and noticed that Frodo much have heard it too because he was looking at it apprehensively.

"Well…what are we waiting for?" growled the low voice of a dwarf with red hair standing up and swung his axe.

Oh dear…..

Upon contact his axe split in several pieces, the dwarf was thrown back, lastly Frodo and I flinched painfully.

It looked like the stupid ring liked me and the hobbit for some freakin reason. I felt Sesshomaru's long, graceful claw hand on my shoulder.

I only caught the last of what Lord Elrond said, something about casting the ring back into the fires where it was made.

Is he crazy?

The area when eerily quiet as everyone digested that statement.

"One simply does not walk into Mordor" said the human male "there is evil there that does not sleep…." Wow….at last some intelligence from him I thought then looked up at Sesshomaru.

He looked utterly bored and expressionless and for once….it was not a mask. The demon truly was bored with what was being discussed. Honestly! I wondered why I stuck with him for as long as I have.

The blonde elf stood up and asked the human if he had not heard what was being discussed and well after that…. all hell broke loose.

The dwarfs where yelling at the elves; the humans where arguing why the ring should not be destroyed, and all the while I could see Frodo getting a bit nauseated.

"Do you see why it is useless to involve yourself with matters outside of our home" said the low voice of my guardian.

I could see Frodo swallowing as the soft muttering of the black speech reached us. I could hear the dark lord trying to whisper in our minds, showing us the future he will bring us. I shuddered, The Ring was connected to the dark lord and that stupid ring was now focusing on me.

"I will take it!"

I shook my head in denial. Frodo was as sweet and pure a hobbit as they come and one of the very few friends I had here.

"I will take the ring to Mordor" he said more forcefully. I saw the eyes of the many men look at him and accepted the hobbit for the task "though…..I do not know the way"

"I will help you bear this burden Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear" said the kind voice of Gandalf.

"By my life or death I can protect you…I will" said Aragon walking up to Frodo and kneeled before him "You have my sword"

"And you have my bow" said the voice of the Mirkwood prince walking to stand next to Gandalf.

"And my axe" said the red bearded dwarf

I watched the human male walk forward "You carry the fate of us all little one. If this is indeed the decision of the council then Gondor will see it done"

I felt the pressure of Sesshomaru's hand on my shoulder before he muttered "Don't you even think about Kagome. I forbid it" he said softly so that only I could hear him.

I nudged his hand away and stood up walking to Frodo giving him a wink "Didn't think I would let you go without me did ya?" I said leaning to give him a kiss on the cheek "You have my powers to help you as well"

"There is no need of a woman in this quest" said the human male "Go home girl, this is a mission for men"

I narrowed my eyes at him but I could feel Sesshomaru walk towards me and stood behind me "You do not get a second warning human" I looked up to see Sesshomaru look at Frodo who swallowed "You have the help of this Sesshomaru little hobbit. I will not allow Kagome to wonder around this land unprotected"

"So you are not coming because of the threat the ring holds?" asked the human.

"I care not about the fate or troubles of man or elves" said Sesshomaru arrogantly making me groan slightly "My only concern is the wellbeing of my ward"

Gandalf chuckled "I suspect nothing less Lord Sesshomaru but we are still grateful for your aid in this. You are a great asset to his fellowship"

"Lord?" said the human looking at Sesshomaru "Just what are you? It is clear that you are not elf nor are you human"

I pinched to bridge of my nose, the guy was just asking for an ass kicking.

I heard the low growl of Sesshomaru "Hn, this Sesshomaru does not need to answer to the likes of you"

"Sesshomaru-sama" I chided him "Please not here" I said in Japanese turning to place a hand on his chest "I want to help, please don't fight"

Turning around I smiled at them "Sorry…he's not the greatest in making new friends" I said ignoring the 'hn' from behind me "As to what we are….it's best you just know that we are friends"

"Indeed" said Elrond "If Kagome and Lord Sesshomaru are going along then I have faith that you will succeed"

The rustling of bushes and an "Oi!" caught our attention. Another hobbit came out and stood beside Frodo "Mr. Frodo is not going anywhere without me" he said making me smile at him. He was a true friend I noted, then thought of Sango and how much I missed her.

The calls of two other hobbits caught my attention. Turning around I saw Frodo's friends come to stand by him. I felt a wave of homesickness.

I missed my friends; not that Sesshomaru wasn't a great friend, but I did miss the companionship of a pack.

"Anyways you going to need people of intelligence on this mission…..quest….thing" said one hobbit making me giggle and Sesshomaru's eyes to brighten with humor.

"Well that rules you out Pip" said the other hobbit making me laugh out loud at last. Oh I was going to be good friends with these two!

"Eleven companions" said Elrond "So be it, you shall be the fellowship of the ring"

I smiled at Lord Elrond before I heard…..

"Right…where are we going?"

I covered my giggle.
