Sesshomaru

 

Kagome came out of the well, a wall of blue energy exploding outward.

As she emerged, she couldn't hide her shock. She'd come here for him, but she couldn't believe it. He was right there, staring stoically at her. His elegant features shone in the dull moonlight, his golden eyes seeming at once both irritated and amused.

“Hello, Kagome,” he said, his voice betraying no emotion whatsoever.

“He… Hello, Lord Sesshomaru,” she said, bowing deeply. “Umm… How are you-”

“My brother's trail ends here,” he said, frowning. “Why is that?”

“Uh… The well's a magic time portal?” Kagome asked, somewhat flustered.

She had, after all, come expecting to have at least some time to prepare what she was going to say.

“I see… And where is my brother?”

“With Naraku,” she said, before she promptly gasped and clamped her hand over her mouth.

“What?” he snarled, stoic replaced by an unbelievable, raw fury.

“Umm… Hang on, Lord Sesshomaru,” Kagome quickly said, seeing his anger was rising. “It's all part of why I'm here. Would you be willing to listen?”

“Speak quickly,” Sesshomaru growled.

“Alright. I come from 500 years in the future. Several days ago, Naraku found out, and promptly found a way through. I came here, looking for you. I was hoping to ask of your help.”

“He's not in this time?” he asked, calming down somewhat.

“No… A few days ago, Inuyasha left our group. And he followed Kikyo. He's too big of an idiot to see she's working with Naraku.”

“So, what I am being told, is that the brother whom had finally seemed to gain some manner of intelligence has followed that clay witch right into Naraku's numbers?”

“Y… Yes,” Kagome gulped. “I can bring you to my time. I'm positive he'll be in our way. And that's always been your fight, Lord Sesshomaru,” she quickly added, eyes downcast.

The inu taiyoukai seemed to consider her words carefully before he finally came to a decision.

“Very well, then, miko. I will come with you. But, I will be bringing my attendants,” he said, glaring as if he were waiting for her to challenge him.

“Umm… alright, but your dragon may be a little conspicuous in my youkai-free time… Speaking of your attendants, where's Rin?” she asked, remembering the adorable little girl.

“Nearby, talking with the elderly miko,” he sighed.

“Well, now, it can't be all bad. I could swear I just hard a hint of affection, there, Lord Sesshomaru,” Kagome said, feeling she was relatively safe.

She was understandably surprised when he actually smiled.

“Yes, quite. I've adopted her by youkai law.”

“Aww! Congratulations, Lord Sesshomaru!” she said, a brilliant smile on her face.

“You seem… different, miko,” he said staring back at her as she frowned.

“I have a name, ya' know! Ka-go-me! It's three syllables! Why in the hell do so many youkai have a hard time remembering it!?” she growled, glaring at the ground.

“Very different, to try your luck,” Sesshomaru added, making her gulp despite his obvious amusement.

“Uh… Right, sorry. It's always been a pet peeve of mine since I met Bakayasha.”

“You seem to have a much lower regard for my half-brother, I see,” he said, still amused.

“Yeah, well, when he chose a corpse over me, it kind of hurt the connection. Doesn't help that he spent most of our time together in the last few years doing nothing but insulting me and belittling me… Oh, but I'm rambling. Sorry,” she said, smiling apologetically.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded nearby, yelling over a girlish squeal of delight. Kagome laughed when they appeared on top of the two-headed dragon, a wreath of herbs around the imp's heads and the girl giggling.

The girl's eyes widened when she saw Kagome, and she jumped off the dragon, landing in a dead-run.

“Lady Kagome!” she squealed, jumping into the miko's arms.

“Hello, Rin,” Kagome said, smiling.

“Where's Shippo?” she asked, looking around for the kit.

“Uh… Not here.”

“Oh… Did Lord Sesshomaru tell you about me!?” she asked, eyes wide in childish glee.

“He did. I'm happy for you, Rin,” she said, ruffling the girl's hair.

“Let us go,” Sesshomaru said, looking expectantly at Kagome.

“Alright… I know how you feel about youkai using the Shikon, Lord Sesshomaru, but it's necessary to get you through the barrier.”

“The Shikon is necessary?” he asked, frowning.

“Yes. It's how the portal works. Unless you want a subjugation necklace, like Inuyasha instead?” she asked sweetly.

“Are you testing your limits with me, Kagome?” Sesshomaru growled.

“Maybe a little,” Kagome said, smirking. “But I was serious. You need a jewel shard, or a connection to me. They're the only ways we've found for someone to pass through.”

Finally, Sesshomaru sighed and extended his hand.

“Let me warn you that if you do any damage, this Sesshomaru will not hold back.”

Kagome nodded and placed a shard into his claw. She let out a small sigh of relief when nothing happened.

“Wow! It didn't even darken a little!” Kagome exclaimed, staring at the still-pearl-white jewel shard.

Kagome quickly got over her shock, however, and handed Rin and Jaken two more.

“One of you will have to ride your dragon into the well for him to pass through… I can't exactly feed him a shard.”

Rin quickly climbed onto the dragon, her shard just as pure as Sesshomaru's.

Meanwhile, Jaken was grumbling and staring warily at the well, his shard a dull, muddy gray.

“Alright. Lord Sesshomaru, you can all go first. I'll stay here to make sure everyone gets through safely.”

With a nod, the demon vanished into the well, blue light flashing upward.

“Wow! Where did Lord Sesshomaru go!?” Rin gasped.

“Through the well, to my time. C'mon, Rin. You next,” Kagome said, gesturing for her and the dragon.

They disappeared into the well also, a girlish squeal of delight filling the air.

“You, too, Jaken,” Kagome said, smiling at the paranoid-looking imp.

“There's no way-”

The imp yelled at the top of his lungs as Kagome picked him up and dove in, blue light engulfing their bodies…

 

“What do you suppose Lady Kagome had to take care of?” Miroku asked, looking worriedly at Sango.

“I don't know… I'm sure it's something vital, though…”

“She's taking too long,” Captain Hitsuguya growled.

As if on cue, the Senkaimon suddenly appeared. And, as soon as it was open, a massive surge of youki flooded the room, putting everyone instantly on edge.

Until Kagome stepped out, with a mountainous man behind her.

His appearance shocked the Shinigami. He stood at a very large size, with an ornate kimono covering his form. His skin was the color of fresh-fallen snow, and his features were elegant and aristocratic. And then, they noticed his eyes, claws, and swords at his side, and they were on edge again.

“Everyone, this is the Lord of the Western Lands, Sesshomaru. And his dragon, Au-Un, attendant, Jaken, and daughter, Rin,” she said, gesturing to them each in turn…

 

A/N:

And, there's how Sesshomaru gets involved! I was really thinking hard about how I wanted to do this, and finally decided on this. So… tada! Be sure to tell me what you think!
