Chapter 1: Invoking The Spirit

She hated herself; she hated looking at herself in the mirror and the image that would stare back at her. She had long black hair that shined midnight blue in the light, sapphire blue eyes that bewitched anyone that viewed them, her lips a sensual pink and a face shaped like a heart, truly a beauty. Her body was shapely and toned. She oozed sex appeal.

Her name was Kagome.

As she touched the mirror feeling the cool glass with her fingers, she traced her reflection in frustration. Though the girls at school and even the boys commented on her physical appearance and how attractive she was, Kagome hated it. She wanted to change, she wanted to be skinner, and she wanted to look like the other girls.

Her hands trembled as she traced her fingers along the thick book placed on the sink counter. It read Invoking The Occult And The Dark Arts, every page filled with spells and incantations. She flipped to page 50 and read over the spell to invoke the demon Sesshomaru the creature capable of granting wishes.

In mythology and fairytales Sesshomaru was described as a aristocratic demon who was known for his flawless beauty and his merciless nature. He usually used his beauty and his intelligence to trick the summoners into making foolish wishes. As Kagome read over the last part of his description she licked her lips and turned the page to the spell. The spell sprawled at least a paragraph and heeded a heavy warning in bold lettering.

"Beware Thee Who Summons The Creature Sesshomaru, The Price May Be To High"

Kagome crinkled her nose not quite understanding the warning, skimming over the spell she lit her candles slowly taking a breath in and began the incantation. Her mouth trembled as she started and her body shook with nervousness

What if this really worked? Would the demon Sesshomaru kill her? Would he trick her? The real question was she brave enough to face the demon beneath the beautiful exterior. She had read the legends before that tiny description in the book and she knew that many priestesses died summoning Sesshomaru. She knew the risks; she just hoped the outcome was worth the risk.

"Oh Mother Gaia and Creatures of Heaven"

"This lowly creature and woman summons the Great Demon Sesshomaru of Hell To Earth before this Kagome"

" She offers her mind, body and soul and life as payment for this transaction"

"Let him come before me with no spite or hatred"

"I deem this my will and let my will be fulfilled"

Her voice shook as the last words escaped her lips. The mirror gleamed in the candlelight as Kagome stared deeply into it. She saw nothing, the spell hadn't worked and the demon Sesshomaru was nowhere to be seen. She reached for her candle and blew one of them out; she felt a shiver run up her spine.

When did the room get so cold?

She felt a hot breath breathing down her neck and a clawed finger tracing down her arm. She suddenly turned to stare at her attacker and blinked…just my imagination she thought. Kagome reached her hand towards the last candle sitting on the sink and stared into the mirror. She checked her hair and rubbed her face free of dirt and only this time something stared back at her.

Her blood ran cold, and her sapphire eyes widened. His silver hair pooled around him and his gold eyes glinted dangerously in the dim lighting. His clawed fingers reached through the mirror and he pulled his body through the glass to a sitting position on top of the counter. He stared down at the tiny mortal and licked his lips.

Yes she was definitely delectable; he would have fun with her.

"Who has summoned the demon Sesshomaru to this mortal realm?"
