Chapter 2: The Girl of The Meiji meets The Boy of Sengoku Jidai...
Normal POV
-------------------
A purple-blue light surrounded her as she continue to fall, her mind in panic as she desended down she looked around as it looked like she was falling through space she held her breath as she tried not to allow water in her lungs. 'Where the heck am I!...The water...I'm going to drown...I'm...' She was floating as she felt air escape her soon water filled her lungs she screamed as she griped her throut as she closed her eyes. 'No! I don't want to die drowning...but I can't hold on...I'm going to...die...' She then let go of her neck as she awaited death...but she paused she opened her eyes as she saw that she didn't feel any pain at all. 'Am I already dead? But why am I still breathing? NANI?! BREATHING!?!?' She exhaled as she saw only bubbles escape her lips but she looked totally confused. 'Ok! I'm breathing in water! Ok I must either be dreaming or...I am dead!...' Her thoughts ended as she saw a Pink-white light she looked up as it shined brightly. 'Wha? Is that? Wait! If I go then I...' She then swam up as her hands reached out she then shoot up as she felt something solid to grip on, she then pushed herself as her wet hair clinged all over her and her face she wiped out her hair then looked around her. What she saw was shocking...she was back in the well...but it was empty...it had no water like it was dried up...she looked at the ground where she sat to see where the water she was in moments ago...But only saw solid ground. 'What! But seconds ago I lifted myself off of the water...but it's not...Ok! I'm going Insane!!!' She was about to lift herself on her feet but she felt pain from her right sholder. "Itai!!!!" She fell back down as she studied her wound it was a deep gash and it still continued to pour out. "If this continue...I'm really going to die!" She looked down at herself to see that she...was wearing a Gi and Hakama instead of her yukata. 'How? But wasn't I?...' She touched her Pearly-White gi then ran her fingers through her Red hakama she then noticed something else..."Why aren't I wet?...My hair is but my clothes...aren't? This makes no sense! I am going INSANE!!!" she stood up slowly so not to hurt her wound then looked up at the well's opening. 'How the heck am I going to get out of here? I need to get out of here and clean this wound before...it becomes fatal...But where's the others? Where is Kenshin?' She was about to climb when she heard voices, voices she didn't know. "Who?" She decided to hear what they were saying to see if they were heading to the well.
"GO HOME ALREADY!!!! Your already bothering me so go!!!!" Shouted a male in which caused Kaoru to grimce as she thought why would he scream? and to who? and why did he sound familiar? Then she heard a female's voice.
"WELL I WILL AND I WON'T BE BACK TILL THE NEXT THREE DAYS!!!!" The female shouted back.
But faintly Kaoru heard the male snort. "SO GO THEN! YOU COULD STAY THERE FOR A WEEK!!! SEE IF I CARE!!!!!" He responded then the next words Kaoru heard confused her as she heard it.
"THAT'S IT!!! INUYASHA!!!! OSWARI!!!!!!" The female shouted out as the male now known to Kaoru as Inuyasha fell to the ground with a 'Thump' as Kaoru's brows knotted together in confusion.
'Did he fall? By the girl saying "Osuwari?"' She thought as she heard the enraged Inuyasha shout out.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR KAGOME!?!? I WAS ONLY SPEAKING THE TRUTH?!?!?!" Inuyasha shouted as he cleaned himself off.
"WELL THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A BAKU!!!!!" Said the female, Kagome.
Kaoru sighed at their little verbal battle. 'They are weird?...But they remind me...of Yahiko...' She was about to shout out to them but suddenly someone fell through the well and was desending fast. 'Nani?! Oh Noooo that person is going to-' But she didn't get to finish when that said person fell on top of her, she heard a faint "Ouch" as she sighed in relief as that person didn't land on her wound. She slowly sat up as she looked at the person but found out to be a girl. She had a strange Kimono that in her opinion was way to short even for her, it was a forest green on the bottom and the upper part was white with a green strip along the collor, she also had a red tie tied there, then she started at her socks they were much to long that it almost reached up the girl's knees and she also had strange shoes that covered her whole feet. 'What is she wearing? It's certainly not a kimono!? But if it is...then she'd pass out as a geisha! That's for sure!' Kaoru then saw that the girl was staring right at her as well, the girl had black dark hair that ended right below her sholders and the girl had Chocolate eyes that reminded her a lot like Sano's. 'But where are they? They should be here? Shouldn't they?' She was about to say something but the girl spoke first.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? and...your wound it's bleeding!..." The girl said as she looked over Kaoru's wound.
Kaoru blinked her eyes as she continued to stare at her, then she heard that male's voice once more. "Hey! Kagome? What the hell are you still doing here?" The male looked down and saw that there were two people inside. "Wha? Who the hell are you girl?" He asked as he helped both girls out of the well. Once he done that he looked straight at Kaoru as his eyes widen. 'Kikyo? What is she...no it's not her...but why is she wearing Kikyo's Miko Kimono?' "Who are you? and why do you wear Kikyo's kimono?" He asked as anger sweeped him.
Kaoru's eyes widen as she stared at him. 'Kikyo's Kimono? Who?...' "Who is Kikyo? because I am not her?!" She stated as the two continued to stare at her, she glanced at Inuyasha he had a red haori and hakama, he had silver long hair loose as it flew around a bit by the wind but there were two pieces of hair infront. His face looked young probably a year or two older then she, he had an old rusty sword on his hip, and also had white dog ears? 'Wha?..I never seen a man with dog ears?..Is he human?..Well he looks human enough...' But other then those features his eyes is what strucked her, his golden-amber eyes looked so much like Kenshin's but it was different it looked much softer then Kenshin's were. 'But why does it feel like I seen him from somewhere?' Then she noticed the flowers and fields behind him and that is when Kaoru realized something...'Where am I? I'm not at the dojo! I'm...where?' She locked eyes with him as she questioned him. "Um...Where am I?" Kagome and Inuyasha stared at each other as they looked at her blinking.
Inuyasha was the first to speak. "What do you mean 'Where am I?'" He questioned back as Kaoru looked around her once more.
Kaoru's temper getting the better of her, forgeting about the doubt she had about him. "Well what do you think when I said "Where am I?" I have no clue where I am!" She said as she narrowed her eyes at him. "If you would use your brain then-"
"Hey! Shut up wench! I didn't understand your dumb question!" Inuyasha interrupted as he too narrowed his eyes, his temper also thinning.
"Mou!! Baku!!! you should have said that then!!!!" She said back as a vain popped out on her head one hand clentched tightly.
His anger rising. "Why you!!!!" He griped her sholder as he was about to shake her but let go as he saw her hiss in pain.
"Itai!" She winced as she held her sholder as fresh blood poured out, she felt light headed as she closed her eyes. 'I'm going...to die...' Her thoughts ended as she felt conisious leave her.
Inuyasha looked at his hand as he saw blood run down his hand freely then that was when he finally smelled the foul smell of blood, he was about to apologize when he noticed that she was in the point of fainting. He caught her as Kagome gasped in shock, he held her bride-style as he looked over at Kagome. "Kagome we have to take her to Kaede, she's lost lots of blood we have to hurry!" Then without waiting he dashed out towards the village as Kagome followed with her bike. He looked down as he studied her up close, she had Midnight-silky black hair that went pass the small of her back and cute small full pale-rosy pink lips, her skin was pale of the loss of blood but he could tell her skin was porculain white. But what caught him off-gaurd was her Sapphire blue eyes they had such beauty he couldn't help but be captivated by it, they had a spark when he fought with her they were so full of life it was beautiful, she looked beautiful...'What?! Beautiful? where did I get that? She's not! Kagome is! Well compared to her..I mean...Kikyo...Ohhhhhh fuck it! I have to help her...not that I care of course!' He thought as he finally made it to the village he then began to sprint to Keade's hut but then he thought of something as he glanced at the bundle in his arms. 'She looks a lot like Kikyo...exspeically with that kimono she's wearing and also the wound on her sholder...it's almost like the fatal wound Kikyo had...but her scent it's very different from both Kagome and Kikyo...she smells like jasmine...it's soothing... Grrrrrrr ENOUGH!! Why do I care if she smells like jasmine? So what! feh!' He made it to the hut then he stepped in as he looked around inside for the old hag, he noticed that Sango was resting as well as Shippo, and Kirara, he saw Miroku sipping tea silently before looking up to him then to the girl in his arms.
"Inuyasha? Who is...is that Kikyo!?" At that statement Sango sat up as Kagome finally joined in with them.
He frowned at Miroku as he gently set her down on the straw futon as he glanced at all of them. "No Miroku it's not Kikyo...it's a girl that Kagome found, but she needs treatment she was slashed on the sholder to what look's like a sword wound...she's lost lots of blood." He finished as Sango nodded her head then went to get the Aid-Kit that Kagome brought from her time.
Sango came back and started to clean the wound as she then put saliva on it which caused Kaoru to moan, after that she stitched it then wrapped it in a tight bandage, as she finished she noticed Inuyasha sigh in relief as she announced she'd be alright then she turned to Kagome. "Kagome where did you find her? She looks to be a miko since she's in that garment much like Kikyo's." she asked.
Kagome thought for a while before she answered back. "Well I was about to go home so I jumped in my well but then I fell on top of her as I fell, so she blocked the way for me to get back and then Inuyasha pushed us back out." She said as she glanced at Kaoru.
"Yeah but funny thing was the girl then asked "'Where she was?'...So I have no clues to where she is from..." Said Inuyasha as he never left his eyes from the still figure, he smirked as he thought of moments ago. "Then she got angry when I told her what she meant so we started fighting..." Then his smirk faded as it was replaced with a frown. "But when I grabbed her sholder she flinched then fainted on me...then I dashed over here." He finished as the others thought it over.
Sango then turned to Inuyasha who continued to look at the girl in front of them. "So in other words you have no clue who she is?"
"No..." He said bluntly.
"Well then we should allow her to rest so that when she awakes I-we could ask some questions." Said Miroku as they looked at him as they knew his old schemes he blinked at them innocently. "What?!"
"Don't you dare Miroku!" Threatened Inuyasha as he felt protective of her suddenly.
Miroku raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh Inuyasha taking a liking to her as well?" He asked as he watch Inuyasha blush lightly that went noticed by Kagome.
"No!!!...I Grrrrr Domare!!! Miroku!!!" He voiced loud enough that caused Shippo and Kirara woke.
"-Yawn- What's wrong Inuyasha? Did you and Kagome fight again?" Asked a sleeply Shippo as he soon felt pain on his head as Inuyasha pounded on him. "Itai!!! Kagome!!!! He's hitting on me!!!!!!!" Shippo cried as he flew to Kagome's back.
"Inuyasha! Tomare! Leave Shippo alone you don't want um...that girl to wake up." she said as he instantly settled down beside the girl as Kagome's eyes narrowed. 'Why is he acting weird with that girl...what's so great about her?' She thought but brushed it off. 'He must just be worried that's all...what else it could be?' Her thoughts ended as she heard Inuyasha say something.
"Well Miroku's right we should just rest then until she talks." He gestured towards Kaoru he then leaned on the wall closest to her as he closed his eyes, but before he did so he said to them. "Oh yeah tell the old hag that there's going to be another visitor staying tonight." He finished as he isolated them from him, he closed his eyes and slept...
(:x:)
His eyes opened as he felt the sun's rays shine on him he glanced around as he continured running...running from a future of what could have been...The pain still killed him inside...'Why! Why did...I thought...No! I will get what I wanted here when I first arrived! Like I should have!!' He neared a village he knew to well as he jumped in the air. The villagers screamed in fear as they called his name. They then tried to bring him down, but he smirked at their foolish tactics as he dodged their arrows then glided towards a shrine. He crashed through the roof as he covered his nose of the poison surrounding the place, then he quickly ran up to the alter as he snatched what he had wanted more then anything...'Now I finally have it!..' His thoughts ended tho' as the doors to the shrine bursted open as the villagers shoot at him with arrows. He grinned at them as he knocked down the torches as the arrows became a blaze, he then jumped through the roof once more as he watched the shrine explode to ashes. While gliding through the air he looked at his possesion...the Shikon no Tama he grinned at it as he shouted out. "Wait and see! With this I can become a real Youkai! And then no one will ever call me Hanyou again!" He landed swiftly to the ground as he soon began to dash out of the fiery village. He jumped over a rail and was almost out of the clear until a familiar voice shouted out to him...
"Inuyasha!..." Said a woman with black midnight-blue hair wearing a white gi and red hakama, a bloody stain from her right sholder continued to bleed as she held out her bow and arrow at him.
He gasped as he glanced her way. 'Kikyo...'
She straightened her bow and arrow as tears filled her eyes. 'I never had any reason...'
'To ever doubt you...' He thought as he continue to gaze at her '...So how could You!..' He then turned his head away from her as he was about to touch the ground.
She notched her arrow back as tears slide down her eyes freely. "INUYASHA!!!" She then shoot the sacred arrow, which then flew towards him in ungodly speed.
He then felt immence pain as he felt himself be pushed back to a tree...his grasp of the Shikon no Tama loosen as he watched it fall to the ground. His eyes grew wide as he looked at his hand then to the arrow that pinned him to the tree. He then locked eyes with the woman who did this to him. The woman then slowly walked up to gather the jewal dropping her quiver as he streched his hand out to her. Pain in his heart of both the wound and the heartache. "Ki...Kikiyo...You...how dare you!.." He then smelled something...something different of her...he smelled blood and...jasmine? "Kikyo?" He strained his eyes as he forced himself not to fall pray to the arrow's spell.
The woman held the jewal in her palm as she looked up at him..."Inuyasha...The jewel...for such a thing..." His eyes widen as he looked at her. She was crying and the wound he now noticed was becoming more stained in red on her white gi as he saw fresh blood continue to pour out.
"You..." He voiced weakly as he saw darkness in the corners of his eyes as he groggly tried to stay awake. "Why did...you...do this?..Kikyo...Why?"
She slowly stood up as she walked to him as her tears continued to fall much like her own blood. "How...could you...betray me...like this..." She whsipered as she stood infront of him as they heard voices not to far away.
He looked at her softly as he felt himself become weaker. "Why...are you...bleeding?.." He asked, but then suddenly held her in his arms.
"...You...have made th-" She tried to finish but he butted in.
"No! It wasn't me! You must...believe...me...I would...never hurt you..." He whsipered as he kissed her. Even if it would be the last time he'd see her...this moment will forever be engraved within his heart. He wasn't angry at her...not at all...'This just proves that she is the woman I love...' He felt her response to the kiss as he deepen it, but felt something different at the way she kissed him...her taste was different...her smell was different...He broke off her for air as he closed his eyes waiting for death to come...She then whsipered to him.
"Inuyasha I...won't let you...die alone..." At this her voice also sounded different.
But it was soon forgotten as he felt her snuggle closer to him he smiled as he held her tightly. His head at the base of her neck kissing her wound tenderly...'At least I know she will die with me...'
He took one last look at her as he wished to see her one last time, but found that she was no longer Kikyo...It wasn't her now that he noticed...it was the girl...the girl he saved...the girl he now held in his arms as realization came to him. 'She is who I kissed...she is who smelled like jasmine...' She looked at him with soft Sapphire eyes as his heart tho' in pain felt lighter...He carassed her cheek as he dried her tears. "It's you...you...are the one I..." He then felt another flash of pain as the spell began to take over him...
Her eyes held concern as she rested her head on his neck. "The...pain well end...soon...please for...give me..." She whispered as she closed her eyes biting on her swollon lips as she tried not to moan in pain. She then reached out to pull the arrow out, but was stopped by him.
"No!..I wish to die...my time is over in this...Goddamn...world..." He finished as he noticed her wince in pain. He became worried so he then gently asked her as they saw villagers not to far ahead. "Use the jewel to live...I don't want...you to...die."
She shook her head as she locked eyes with him. "No...I can not live on...for you will...not be there with me...I wish to die with you..." She said as she held her hand with the Shikon no Tama and his.. "I do...not wish to...leave you...alone..." She said slowly as life started to leave her.
He smiled as he rested his head on top of her's, his eyes were becoming heavy with each second. "Then...die with me..." He said as he held her tighter as he felt his life slip away also...
She smiled back at him as she spoke softly. "Yes anata lets...die...together..."
"Forever..." He asked.
"Forever...Anata...Aishiteru.." she answered back softly as she felt herself fade away.
He felt the last ounce of his life slip away but before he did he whispered to her before the world disappeared from him. "Aishiteru...Koishii..." He kissed her forehead as he soon heard shouts of her name coming from the villagers. They were only a few yards away from them...'Kaoru?..That is a beautiful name...for my jasmine-flower...' "Forever together...at last...Kaoru-Koishii..." Then the world finally turned black...
:(x):
Inuyasha sat up as his breathing grew heavier he was drenched in his on sweat as he took deep long breaths to try to calm down. He looked around as memories from the dream returned to him, he closed his eyes as he thought over the bizzare dream of his. 'What was that!? My dream...it had...that girl...' At the mention of the girl he's eyes opened he looked at her peaceful-still face, he's eyes became softer as he noticed how innocent she looked in her sleep. 'She's so peaceful when asleep...she looks like an angel...no better yet a goddess... Wha?' His eyes widen as it clicked of what he thought of her. 'What the fuck should I care if she's happy or peaceful? It's not my damn problem! Why should I care if she's beautiful? Ohhhh fuck! Where the hell does that come from! Shimatta! Am I going soft? No!! Of course not! I'm still the same cold-hard yarou as I always was! Why should this...girl change the way I feel?' He concluded as he forcfully turned away from the maidan as he scouded away from her as well, but he bit his lip tightly as he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. He finally got fed up he released a low growl as he turned towards her glaring at her for making him worry. 'But why should I worry? She's like any other girl I come across when we go hunting for shards! It's not like she's different!' But in the back of his mind he knew she was...very special from the moment he saw her. 'Ah! Fuck you baku conisious!' He decided to deny what he thought as he sat beside her his arms crossed together as he simply watched her, a part of him was still worried if she'd wake up or not but the other side didn't- as Inuyasha would say 'Give a damn about it!' But he stayed there as he finally noticed that he and that girl were the only ones in the hut he looked around as he also noticed the sun was up. 'Now why didn't I noticed the sun out?' His thoughts ended as he sense the girl stirring, he looked down to see she was turning to her right side facing him as she let out a moan at which caused the Hanyou to blush then he scolded himself. 'What the fuck is wrong with me? I heard Sango and Kagome moan before in their sleep so what difference does it make if it's Kaoru whose-' He stopped himself as he realized what he thought. 'I...just said...her name...' He settled down as he studied her as he nervously and hesitatly took his hand and gently brushed away a piece of her hair from her face as he then saw her smile. He smiled back as he thought of him being the reason for her smile, he continue to gaze at her when he saw her stir a bit more before she opened her eyes. His breath was caught in his throut as he locked eyes with her glazed Sapphire orbs he tented to search through her of in unknown question that lingered within his mind. He continued to gaze at her when she slowly sat up as she was now at eye level with him, he took a sharp intake of air as he watched her black-silky midnight-blue hair trailed behind her back save for the few pieces of her that clinged in front a bit dishay but to him he still thought was beautiful. Then suddenly she rose her right hand then slowly moved it towards his left cheek as it then began to caress it gently, his thoughts of worry and shock melt away as his eyes dropped half away. He felt so light that his only thoughts were. 'Her hands are so soft and smooth to the touch...their so gentle...so caring...' He sighed happly as he allowed her with her demostrations, then he felt the warmth disappear as he felt sadden at the lost touch of her hand but once more that was soon forgotten when he felt her scratch softly on his puppy-like ears. He sighed once more as he leaned in to her touch this time like a puppy would do when it's master pet's it, he closed his eyes as a loppy smile grazed his features he was so caught up to her touch that he almost missed what she had said.
"Is this a dream?" She asked softly as she slowly took her hand away from his ear then back to his cheek. "Are you really?" She asked as a look of confusion passed through him then she saw a glinpse of...hurt? 'It couldn't be...'
Inuyasha was taken back as he felt a ping of hurt settle in him. 'She doesn't remember me?..but then again we only meet back at the forest...but still...' His thoughts were interrupted as she questioned him that made his heart brighten with hope.
"Are you...Inu-yasha? She asked as memoriers from the day before came back to her she remembered the one called Kagome call this man Inuyasha and to see him brighten up like she saw him made her smile at him.
He nodded his head as he grinned at her then took a look of confusion once more. "Um...yeah that's...me!?" Yeah way to go Inuyasha! You really know how to get the ladies.' He thought grimcely at his stupidness. 'How can I say..."Um Yeah That's Me!?"...I'm not good at this!' He looked away of embarassment as he blushed slightly. 'Oh! great! nice way for first impression!' He continue to sulk until she giggled he looked at her as his face blushed even a darker shade of red. "Wha? What are you laughing at onna?" He asked as he grinned at her but couldn't help but chuckle along with her. 'She has a beautiful laugh...and smile...'
She stopped her giggling as she notice him joining in also she smiled at him as she sighed slightly. "Well you look so kawaii with that confused look of yours so I couldn't help but laugh...Gomen nasai...It's just you have a handsome face I couldn't help but stare at you! That's way I asked if it were a dream to wake up with a handsome man beside me." She looked away as she blushed deeply but it didn't compare to Inuyasha's whose face was as red as a tomato. 'Oh Kami! Did I just say that! I justed called him handsome...twice! Oh no! He'll think I'm one of those flirting type of girls...oh kami help!' She thought as she looked at the floor thinking of how stupid she was, then she glanced at him as she saw his face change emotions.
'She...said I'm...handsome...and that she was...surprised to see me with her...' He shook his head as he tried to clear his thoughts.
'No!..she's probably surprised to see a -Hanyou- instead of a mortal that's why!' His eyes sadden at the thought as Kaoru saw this then worried sweeped over her.
"Inuyasha? Is there something wrong? Did I say something wrong to offend you?" She asked kindly as she began to once more caress his cheek.
He shook his head as he glanced at her then fell to the covered wound on her sholder. 'She could...have died...' She noticed his eyes trailing towards her sholder as she herslef now noticed it bandaged.
"Did you fix-" She couldn't finish when he cutted in.
"Iie...my friend was the one who wrapped it." He finished as she nodded her head.
She then gently trailed down on her wound as she then realized how Baka she was! 'I didn't even told him who I was! Baka Baka!!' She scowled herself then looked up to him as she smiled a bit of her embarassment a light blush on her cheeks. "Gomen Nasai, Inuyasha...I didn't even introduced myself...Wa Kamiya Kaoru...Sou ne..." She said as his eyes widen in surprise.
'Her name is...Kaoru...so my dream...was...' He looked over at her as he sadly thought of her which was noticed by her.
"Inuyasha? Is there something wrong? You look sad? Gomen if it wa-" She once more couldn't finish her sentence.
He shook his head slowly as he gulped at what he was about to say. "Iie it wasn't that! It's just that..." He looked away briefly before turning back at her. "...Are you...afraid of me...?!" He had asked so softly that it strained her ears just to listen, she looked at him with a confused face.
"Why should I be afraid of you?" She asked as he looked at her directly.
"Because...I'm a..." He closed his eyes as he thought of the outcome. 'Once I say "Hanyou" she's going to freak out and run away before Kagome can say 'Osuwari'...but it's better then to lie to her...she'll find out sooner or later..." Inuyasha opened his mouth as he was about to speak but Kaoru interrupted him.
"You mean a...Hanyou, ne?" She asked silently as he slowly nodded his head then lowered it as not to look at her. She slowly but gently lifted his chin to see his face. "So what? I still don't understand why I should fear you?"
He looked at her confused behond reason. 'She's not running away?' "Well I'm a hanyou so I'm half-demon so shouldn't you be?" He asked hoping she would say "No" to him.
"Well...Inuyasha you are also half-human ne?" She asked as he knobbed his head. "Well then I can trust you...since I'm still alive...I mean you could have killed me or left me there to die so...I can see you are a kind man..." She finished as his eyes widen at her, she smiled softly at him. "And another thing...I have never met a Hanyou before I have only read it in books so it's very surprising. But are there Youkai's too?" She asked as he nodded his head.
"Yeah...My brother..." He stated as he felt the worry within him fade away. 'She's not scared of me...'
Her response was a small "o" but then she knitted her brows together in confusion. "But your a Hanyou so if your brother is a youkai then that would mean-"
"Hai, He's my..."Onii-san" as you call it..." He said with loathe in his words which Kaoru noticed.
"Inuyasha? Why do you speak with hatred for your brother..." she asked still confused.
"Sesshomaru...that's his name and for hating him is because he hates me...simply as that..." He said in a Matter-of-fact kinda voice.
"Sou...ka...Honto?!..." She asked him.
"Hai, I hate him and that will never change." He said as she sadden at that, he noticed it then quickly changed the subject. "So...tell me...what are you doing in -Edo-,-Yamato- [A/n: Edo = Old Name for Tokyo; Yamato = Old name for Japan.] He asked at her as her eyes widen.
'What!? Edo, Yamato? But isn't that!..' She looked at him confused as ever. "Ed-Edo, Ya-Yamato?! But then I'm home...don't you mean Tokyo, Japan?" She asked hoping this was not real that he had said wrong.
He looked at her with a face that matched her's. "To-Kee-Oh, Ja-pan? What is that? A place you were born or something?" He asked.
She looked at him to see he was not kidding. "Wait...What year is this?" She asked dreading as the words soon fell from his mouth.
"We're in Edo, Yamato...1654...Why?" He asked once more as he saw her with a shocken expression.
That's when realization hit her...she wasn't at her time...she was centries behind of her era. 'Kami-Sama! I'm not in the Meiji Era anymore...I'm in the Sengoku Jidai!!!'

Chapter 2: The Girl of The Meiji meets The Boy of Sengoku Jidai...
Normal POV
-------------------
A purple-blue light surrounded her as she continue to fall, her mind in panic as she desended down she looked around as it looked like she was falling through space she held her breath as she tried not to allow water in her lungs. 'Where the heck am I!...The water...I'm going to drown...I'm...' She was floating as she felt air escape her soon water filled her lungs she screamed as she griped her throut as she closed her eyes. 'No! I don't want to die drowning...but I can't hold on...I'm going to...die...' She then let go of her neck as she awaited death...but she paused she opened her eyes as she saw that she didn't feel any pain at all. 'Am I already dead? But why am I still breathing? NANI?! BREATHING!?!?' She exhaled as she saw only bubbles escape her lips but she looked totally confused. 'Ok! I'm breathing in water! Ok I must either be dreaming or...I am dead!...' Her thoughts ended as she saw a Pink-white light she looked up as it shined brightly. 'Wha? Is that? Wait! If I go then I...' She then swam up as her hands reached out she then shoot up as she felt something solid to grip on, she then pushed herself as her wet hair clinged all over her and her face she wiped out her hair then looked around her. What she saw was shocking...she was back in the well...but it was empty...it had no water like it was dried up...she looked at the ground where she sat to see where the water she was in moments ago...But only saw solid ground. 'What! But seconds ago I lifted myself off of the water...but it's not...Ok! I'm going Insane!!!' She was about to lift herself on her feet but she felt pain from her right sholder. "Itai!!!!" She fell back down as she studied her wound it was a deep gash and it still continued to pour out. "If this continue...I'm really going to die!" She looked down at herself to see that she...was wearing a Gi and Hakama instead of her yukata. 'How? But wasn't I?...' She touched her Pearly-White gi then ran her fingers through her Red hakama she then noticed something else..."Why aren't I wet?...My hair is but my clothes...aren't? This makes no sense! I am going INSANE!!!" she stood up slowly so not to hurt her wound then looked up at the well's opening. 'How the heck am I going to get out of here? I need to get out of here and clean this wound before...it becomes fatal...But where's the others? Where is Kenshin?' She was about to climb when she heard voices, voices she didn't know. "Who?" She decided to hear what they were saying to see if they were heading to the well.
"GO HOME ALREADY!!!! Your already bothering me so go!!!!" Shouted a male in which caused Kaoru to grimce as she thought why would he scream? and to who? and why did he sound familiar? Then she heard a female's voice.
"WELL I WILL AND I WON'T BE BACK TILL THE NEXT THREE DAYS!!!!" The female shouted back.
But faintly Kaoru heard the male snort. "SO GO THEN! YOU COULD STAY THERE FOR A WEEK!!! SEE IF I CARE!!!!!" He responded then the next words Kaoru heard confused her as she heard it.
"THAT'S IT!!! INUYASHA!!!! OSWARI!!!!!!" The female shouted out as the male now known to Kaoru as Inuyasha fell to the ground with a 'Thump' as Kaoru's brows knotted together in confusion.
'Did he fall? By the girl saying "Osuwari?"' She thought as she heard the enraged Inuyasha shout out.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR KAGOME!?!? I WAS ONLY SPEAKING THE TRUTH?!?!?!" Inuyasha shouted as he cleaned himself off.
"WELL THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING A BAKU!!!!!" Said the female, Kagome.
Kaoru sighed at their little verbal battle. 'They are weird?...But they remind me...of Yahiko...' She was about to shout out to them but suddenly someone fell through the well and was desending fast. 'Nani?! Oh Noooo that person is going to-' But she didn't get to finish when that said person fell on top of her, she heard a faint "Ouch" as she sighed in relief as that person didn't land on her wound. She slowly sat up as she looked at the person but found out to be a girl. She had a strange Kimono that in her opinion was way to short even for her, it was a forest green on the bottom and the upper part was white with a green strip along the collor, she also had a red tie tied there, then she started at her socks they were much to long that it almost reached up the girl's knees and she also had strange shoes that covered her whole feet. 'What is she wearing? It's certainly not a kimono!? But if it is...then she'd pass out as a geisha! That's for sure!' Kaoru then saw that the girl was staring right at her as well, the girl had black dark hair that ended right below her sholders and the girl had Chocolate eyes that reminded her a lot like Sano's. 'But where are they? They should be here? Shouldn't they?' She was about to say something but the girl spoke first.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? and...your wound it's bleeding!..." The girl said as she looked over Kaoru's wound.
Kaoru blinked her eyes as she continued to stare at her, then she heard that male's voice once more. "Hey! Kagome? What the hell are you still doing here?" The male looked down and saw that there were two people inside. "Wha? Who the hell are you girl?" He asked as he helped both girls out of the well. Once he done that he looked straight at Kaoru as his eyes widen. 'Kikyo? What is she...no it's not her...but why is she wearing Kikyo's Miko Kimono?' "Who are you? and why do you wear Kikyo's kimono?" He asked as anger sweeped him.
Kaoru's eyes widen as she stared at him. 'Kikyo's Kimono? Who?...' "Who is Kikyo? because I am not her?!" She stated as the two continued to stare at her, she glanced at Inuyasha he had a red haori and hakama, he had silver long hair loose as it flew around a bit by the wind but there were two pieces of hair infront. His face looked young probably a year or two older then she, he had an old rusty sword on his hip, and also had white dog ears? 'Wha?..I never seen a man with dog ears?..Is he human?..Well he looks human enough...' But other then those features his eyes is what strucked her, his golden-amber eyes looked so much like Kenshin's but it was different it looked much softer then Kenshin's were. 'But why does it feel like I seen him from somewhere?' Then she noticed the flowers and fields behind him and that is when Kaoru realized something...'Where am I? I'm not at the dojo! I'm...where?' She locked eyes with him as she questioned him. "Um...Where am I?" Kagome and Inuyasha stared at each other as they looked at her blinking.
Inuyasha was the first to speak. "What do you mean 'Where am I?'" He questioned back as Kaoru looked around her once more.
Kaoru's temper getting the better of her, forgeting about the doubt she had about him. "Well what do you think when I said "Where am I?" I have no clue where I am!" She said as she narrowed her eyes at him. "If you would use your brain then-"
"Hey! Shut up wench! I didn't understand your dumb question!" Inuyasha interrupted as he too narrowed his eyes, his temper also thinning.
"Mou!! Baku!!! you should have said that then!!!!" She said back as a vain popped out on her head one hand clentched tightly.
His anger rising. "Why you!!!!" He griped her sholder as he was about to shake her but let go as he saw her hiss in pain.
"Itai!" She winced as she held her sholder as fresh blood poured out, she felt light headed as she closed her eyes. 'I'm going...to die...' Her thoughts ended as she felt conisious leave her.
Inuyasha looked at his hand as he saw blood run down his hand freely then that was when he finally smelled the foul smell of blood, he was about to apologize when he noticed that she was in the point of fainting. He caught her as Kagome gasped in shock, he held her bride-style as he looked over at Kagome. "Kagome we have to take her to Kaede, she's lost lots of blood we have to hurry!" Then without waiting he dashed out towards the village as Kagome followed with her bike. He looked down as he studied her up close, she had Midnight-silky black hair that went pass the small of her back and cute small full pale-rosy pink lips, her skin was pale of the loss of blood but he could tell her skin was porculain white. But what caught him off-gaurd was her Sapphire blue eyes they had such beauty he couldn't help but be captivated by it, they had a spark when he fought with her they were so full of life it was beautiful, she looked beautiful...'What?! Beautiful? where did I get that? She's not! Kagome is! Well compared to her..I mean...Kikyo...Ohhhhhh fuck it! I have to help her...not that I care of course!' He thought as he finally made it to the village he then began to sprint to Keade's hut but then he thought of something as he glanced at the bundle in his arms. 'She looks a lot like Kikyo...exspeically with that kimono she's wearing and also the wound on her sholder...it's almost like the fatal wound Kikyo had...but her scent it's very different from both Kagome and Kikyo...she smells like jasmine...it's soothing... Grrrrrrr ENOUGH!! Why do I care if she smells like jasmine? So what! feh!' He made it to the hut then he stepped in as he looked around inside for the old hag, he noticed that Sango was resting as well as Shippo, and Kirara, he saw Miroku sipping tea silently before looking up to him then to the girl in his arms.
"Inuyasha? Who is...is that Kikyo!?" At that statement Sango sat up as Kagome finally joined in with them.
He frowned at Miroku as he gently set her down on the straw futon as he glanced at all of them. "No Miroku it's not Kikyo...it's a girl that Kagome found, but she needs treatment she was slashed on the sholder to what look's like a sword wound...she's lost lots of blood." He finished as Sango nodded her head then went to get the Aid-Kit that Kagome brought from her time.
Sango came back and started to clean the wound as she then put saliva on it which caused Kaoru to moan, after that she stitched it then wrapped it in a tight bandage, as she finished she noticed Inuyasha sigh in relief as she announced she'd be alright then she turned to Kagome. "Kagome where did you find her? She looks to be a miko since she's in that garment much like Kikyo's." she asked.
Kagome thought for a while before she answered back. "Well I was about to go home so I jumped in my well but then I fell on top of her as I fell, so she blocked the way for me to get back and then Inuyasha pushed us back out." She said as she glanced at Kaoru.
"Yeah but funny thing was the girl then asked "'Where she was?'...So I have no clues to where she is from..." Said Inuyasha as he never left his eyes from the still figure, he smirked as he thought of moments ago. "Then she got angry when I told her what she meant so we started fighting..." Then his smirk faded as it was replaced with a frown. "But when I grabbed her sholder she flinched then fainted on me...then I dashed over here." He finished as the others thought it over.
Sango then turned to Inuyasha who continued to look at the girl in front of them. "So in other words you have no clue who she is?"
"No..." He said bluntly.
"Well then we should allow her to rest so that when she awakes I-we could ask some questions." Said Miroku as they looked at him as they knew his old schemes he blinked at them innocently. "What?!"
"Don't you dare Miroku!" Threatened Inuyasha as he felt protective of her suddenly.
Miroku raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh Inuyasha taking a liking to her as well?" He asked as he watch Inuyasha blush lightly that went noticed by Kagome.
"No!!!...I Grrrrr Domare!!! Miroku!!!" He voiced loud enough that caused Shippo and Kirara woke.
"-Yawn- What's wrong Inuyasha? Did you and Kagome fight again?" Asked a sleeply Shippo as he soon felt pain on his head as Inuyasha pounded on him. "Itai!!! Kagome!!!! He's hitting on me!!!!!!!" Shippo cried as he flew to Kagome's back.
"Inuyasha! Tomare! Leave Shippo alone you don't want um...that girl to wake up." she said as he instantly settled down beside the girl as Kagome's eyes narrowed. 'Why is he acting weird with that girl...what's so great about her?' She thought but brushed it off. 'He must just be worried that's all...what else it could be?' Her thoughts ended as she heard Inuyasha say something.
"Well Miroku's right we should just rest then until she talks." He gestured towards Kaoru he then leaned on the wall closest to her as he closed his eyes, but before he did so he said to them. "Oh yeah tell the old hag that there's going to be another visitor staying tonight." He finished as he isolated them from him, he closed his eyes and slept...
(:x:)
His eyes opened as he felt the sun's rays shine on him he glanced around as he continured running...running from a future of what could have been...The pain still killed him inside...'Why! Why did...I thought...No! I will get what I wanted here when I first arrived! Like I should have!!' He neared a village he knew to well as he jumped in the air. The villagers screamed in fear as they called his name. They then tried to bring him down, but he smirked at their foolish tactics as he dodged their arrows then glided towards a shrine. He crashed through the roof as he covered his nose of the poison surrounding the place, then he quickly ran up to the alter as he snatched what he had wanted more then anything...'Now I finally have it!..' His thoughts ended tho' as the doors to the shrine bursted open as the villagers shoot at him with arrows. He grinned at them as he knocked down the torches as the arrows became a blaze, he then jumped through the roof once more as he watched the shrine explode to ashes. While gliding through the air he looked at his possesion...the Shikon no Tama he grinned at it as he shouted out. "Wait and see! With this I can become a real Youkai! And then no one will ever call me Hanyou again!" He landed swiftly to the ground as he soon began to dash out of the fiery village. He jumped over a rail and was almost out of the clear until a familiar voice shouted out to him...
"Inuyasha!..." Said a woman with black midnight-blue hair wearing a white gi and red hakama, a bloody stain from her right sholder continued to bleed as she held out her bow and arrow at him.
He gasped as he glanced her way. 'Kikyo...'
She straightened her bow and arrow as tears filled her eyes. 'I never had any reason...'
'To ever doubt you...' He thought as he continue to gaze at her '...So how could You!..' He then turned his head away from her as he was about to touch the ground.
She notched her arrow back as tears slide down her eyes freely. "INUYASHA!!!" She then shoot the sacred arrow, which then flew towards him in ungodly speed.
He then felt immence pain as he felt himself be pushed back to a tree...his grasp of the Shikon no Tama loosen as he watched it fall to the ground. His eyes grew wide as he looked at his hand then to the arrow that pinned him to the tree. He then locked eyes with the woman who did this to him. The woman then slowly walked up to gather the jewal dropping her quiver as he streched his hand out to her. Pain in his heart of both the wound and the heartache. "Ki...Kikiyo...You...how dare you!.." He then smelled something...something different of her...he smelled blood and...jasmine? "Kikyo?" He strained his eyes as he forced himself not to fall pray to the arrow's spell.
The woman held the jewal in her palm as she looked up at him..."Inuyasha...The jewel...for such a thing..." His eyes widen as he looked at her. She was crying and the wound he now noticed was becoming more stained in red on her white gi as he saw fresh blood continue to pour out.
"You..." He voiced weakly as he saw darkness in the corners of his eyes as he groggly tried to stay awake. "Why did...you...do this?..Kikyo...Why?"
She slowly stood up as she walked to him as her tears continued to fall much like her own blood. "How...could you...betray me...like this..." She whsipered as she stood infront of him as they heard voices not to far away.
He looked at her softly as he felt himself become weaker. "Why...are you...bleeding?.." He asked, but then suddenly held her in his arms.
"...You...have made th-" She tried to finish but he butted in.
"No! It wasn't me! You must...believe...me...I would...never hurt you..." He whsipered as he kissed her. Even if it would be the last time he'd see her...this moment will forever be engraved within his heart. He wasn't angry at her...not at all...'This just proves that she is the woman I love...' He felt her response to the kiss as he deepen it, but felt something different at the way she kissed him...her taste was different...her smell was different...He broke off her for air as he closed his eyes waiting for death to come...She then whsipered to him.
"Inuyasha I...won't let you...die alone..." At this her voice also sounded different.
But it was soon forgotten as he felt her snuggle closer to him he smiled as he held her tightly. His head at the base of her neck kissing her wound tenderly...'At least I know she will die with me...'
He took one last look at her as he wished to see her one last time, but found that she was no longer Kikyo...It wasn't her now that he noticed...it was the girl...the girl he saved...the girl he now held in his arms as realization came to him. 'She is who I kissed...she is who smelled like jasmine...' She looked at him with soft Sapphire eyes as his heart tho' in pain felt lighter...He carassed her cheek as he dried her tears. "It's you...you...are the one I..." He then felt another flash of pain as the spell began to take over him...
Her eyes held concern as she rested her head on his neck. "The...pain well end...soon...please for...give me..." She whispered as she closed her eyes biting on her swollon lips as she tried not to moan in pain. She then reached out to pull the arrow out, but was stopped by him.
"No!..I wish to die...my time is over in this...Goddamn...world..." He finished as he noticed her wince in pain. He became worried so he then gently asked her as they saw villagers not to far ahead. "Use the jewel to live...I don't want...you to...die."
She shook her head as she locked eyes with him. "No...I can not live on...for you will...not be there with me...I wish to die with you..." She said as she held her hand with the Shikon no Tama and his.. "I do...not wish to...leave you...alone..." She said slowly as life started to leave her.
He smiled as he rested his head on top of her's, his eyes were becoming heavy with each second. "Then...die with me..." He said as he held her tighter as he felt his life slip away also...
She smiled back at him as she spoke softly. "Yes anata lets...die...together..."
"Forever..." He asked.
"Forever...Anata...Aishiteru.." she answered back softly as she felt herself fade away.
He felt the last ounce of his life slip away but before he did he whispered to her before the world disappeared from him. "Aishiteru...Koishii..." He kissed her forehead as he soon heard shouts of her name coming from the villagers. They were only a few yards away from them...'Kaoru?..That is a beautiful name...for my jasmine-flower...' "Forever together...at last...Kaoru-Koishii..." Then the world finally turned black...
:(x):
Inuyasha sat up as his breathing grew heavier he was drenched in his on sweat as he took deep long breaths to try to calm down. He looked around as memories from the dream returned to him, he closed his eyes as he thought over the bizzare dream of his. 'What was that!? My dream...it had...that girl...' At the mention of the girl he's eyes opened he looked at her peaceful-still face, he's eyes became softer as he noticed how innocent she looked in her sleep. 'She's so peaceful when asleep...she looks like an angel...no better yet a goddess... Wha?' His eyes widen as it clicked of what he thought of her. 'What the fuck should I care if she's happy or peaceful? It's not my damn problem! Why should I care if she's beautiful? Ohhhh fuck! Where the hell does that come from! Shimatta! Am I going soft? No!! Of course not! I'm still the same cold-hard yarou as I always was! Why should this...girl change the way I feel?' He concluded as he forcfully turned away from the maidan as he scouded away from her as well, but he bit his lip tightly as he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. He finally got fed up he released a low growl as he turned towards her glaring at her for making him worry. 'But why should I worry? She's like any other girl I come across when we go hunting for shards! It's not like she's different!' But in the back of his mind he knew she was...very special from the moment he saw her. 'Ah! Fuck you baku conisious!' He decided to deny what he thought as he sat beside her his arms crossed together as he simply watched her, a part of him was still worried if she'd wake up or not but the other side didn't- as Inuyasha would say 'Give a damn about it!' But he stayed there as he finally noticed that he and that girl were the only ones in the hut he looked around as he also noticed the sun was up. 'Now why didn't I noticed the sun out?' His thoughts ended as he sense the girl stirring, he looked down to see she was turning to her right side facing him as she let out a moan at which caused the Hanyou to blush then he scolded himself. 'What the fuck is wrong with me? I heard Sango and Kagome moan before in their sleep so what difference does it make if it's Kaoru whose-' He stopped himself as he realized what he thought. 'I...just said...her name...' He settled down as he studied her as he nervously and hesitatly took his hand and gently brushed away a piece of her hair from her face as he then saw her smile. He smiled back as he thought of him being the reason for her smile, he continue to gaze at her when he saw her stir a bit more before she opened her eyes. His breath was caught in his throut as he locked eyes with her glazed Sapphire orbs he tented to search through her of in unknown question that lingered within his mind. He continued to gaze at her when she slowly sat up as she was now at eye level with him, he took a sharp intake of air as he watched her black-silky midnight-blue hair trailed behind her back save for the few pieces of her that clinged in front a bit dishay but to him he still thought was beautiful. Then suddenly she rose her right hand then slowly moved it towards his left cheek as it then began to caress it gently, his thoughts of worry and shock melt away as his eyes dropped half away. He felt so light that his only thoughts were. 'Her hands are so soft and smooth to the touch...their so gentle...so caring...' He sighed happly as he allowed her with her demostrations, then he felt the warmth disappear as he felt sadden at the lost touch of her hand but once more that was soon forgotten when he felt her scratch softly on his puppy-like ears. He sighed once more as he leaned in to her touch this time like a puppy would do when it's master pet's it, he closed his eyes as a loppy smile grazed his features he was so caught up to her touch that he almost missed what she had said.
"Is this a dream?" She asked softly as she slowly took her hand away from his ear then back to his cheek. "Are you really?" She asked as a look of confusion passed through him then she saw a glinpse of...hurt? 'It couldn't be...'
Inuyasha was taken back as he felt a ping of hurt settle in him. 'She doesn't remember me?..but then again we only meet back at the forest...but still...' His thoughts were interrupted as she questioned him that made his heart brighten with hope.
"Are you...Inu-yasha? She asked as memoriers from the day before came back to her she remembered the one called Kagome call this man Inuyasha and to see him brighten up like she saw him made her smile at him.
He nodded his head as he grinned at her then took a look of confusion once more. "Um...yeah that's...me!?" Yeah way to go Inuyasha! You really know how to get the ladies.' He thought grimcely at his stupidness. 'How can I say..."Um Yeah That's Me!?"...I'm not good at this!' He looked away of embarassment as he blushed slightly. 'Oh! great! nice way for first impression!' He continue to sulk until she giggled he looked at her as his face blushed even a darker shade of red. "Wha? What are you laughing at onna?" He asked as he grinned at her but couldn't help but chuckle along with her. 'She has a beautiful laugh...and smile...'
She stopped her giggling as she notice him joining in also she smiled at him as she sighed slightly. "Well you look so kawaii with that confused look of yours so I couldn't help but laugh...Gomen nasai...It's just you have a handsome face I couldn't help but stare at you! That's way I asked if it were a dream to wake up with a handsome man beside me." She looked away as she blushed deeply but it didn't compare to Inuyasha's whose face was as red as a tomato. 'Oh Kami! Did I just say that! I justed called him handsome...twice! Oh no! He'll think I'm one of those flirting type of girls...oh kami help!' She thought as she looked at the floor thinking of how stupid she was, then she glanced at him as she saw his face change emotions.
'She...said I'm...handsome...and that she was...surprised to see me with her...' He shook his head as he tried to clear his thoughts.
'No!..she's probably surprised to see a -Hanyou- instead of a mortal that's why!' His eyes sadden at the thought as Kaoru saw this then worried sweeped over her.
"Inuyasha? Is there something wrong? Did I say something wrong to offend you?" She asked kindly as she began to once more caress his cheek.
He shook his head as he glanced at her then fell to the covered wound on her sholder. 'She could...have died...' She noticed his eyes trailing towards her sholder as she herslef now noticed it bandaged.
"Did you fix-" She couldn't finish when he cutted in.
"Iie...my friend was the one who wrapped it." He finished as she nodded her head.
She then gently trailed down on her wound as she then realized how Baka she was! 'I didn't even told him who I was! Baka Baka!!' She scowled herself then looked up to him as she smiled a bit of her embarassment a light blush on her cheeks. "Gomen Nasai, Inuyasha...I didn't even introduced myself...Wa Kamiya Kaoru...Sou ne..." She said as his eyes widen in surprise.
'Her name is...Kaoru...so my dream...was...' He looked over at her as he sadly thought of her which was noticed by her.
"Inuyasha? Is there something wrong? You look sad? Gomen if it wa-" She once more couldn't finish her sentence.
He shook his head slowly as he gulped at what he was about to say. "Iie it wasn't that! It's just that..." He looked away briefly before turning back at her. "...Are you...afraid of me...?!" He had asked so softly that it strained her ears just to listen, she looked at him with a confused face.
"Why should I be afraid of you?" She asked as he looked at her directly.
"Because...I'm a..." He closed his eyes as he thought of the outcome. 'Once I say "Hanyou" she's going to freak out and run away before Kagome can say 'Osuwari'...but it's better then to lie to her...she'll find out sooner or later..." Inuyasha opened his mouth as he was about to speak but Kaoru interrupted him.
"You mean a...Hanyou, ne?" She asked silently as he slowly nodded his head then lowered it as not to look at her. She slowly but gently lifted his chin to see his face. "So what? I still don't understand why I should fear you?"
He looked at her confused behond reason. 'She's not running away?' "Well I'm a hanyou so I'm half-demon so shouldn't you be?" He asked hoping she would say "No" to him.
"Well...Inuyasha you are also half-human ne?" She asked as he knobbed his head. "Well then I can trust you...since I'm still alive...I mean you could have killed me or left me there to die so...I can see you are a kind man..." She finished as his eyes widen at her, she smiled softly at him. "And another thing...I have never met a Hanyou before I have only read it in books so it's very surprising. But are there Youkai's too?" She asked as he nodded his head.
"Yeah...My brother..." He stated as he felt the worry within him fade away. 'She's not scared of me...'
Her response was a small "o" but then she knitted her brows together in confusion. "But your a Hanyou so if your brother is a youkai then that would mean-"
"Hai, He's my..."Onii-san" as you call it..." He said with loathe in his words which Kaoru noticed.
"Inuyasha? Why do you speak with hatred for your brother..." she asked still confused.
"Sesshomaru...that's his name and for hating him is because he hates me...simply as that..." He said in a Matter-of-fact kinda voice.
"Sou...ka...Honto?!..." She asked him.
"Hai, I hate him and that will never change." He said as she sadden at that, he noticed it then quickly changed the subject. "So...tell me...what are you doing in -Edo-,-Yamato- [A/n: Edo = Old Name for Tokyo; Yamato = Old name for Japan.] He asked at her as her eyes widen.
'What!? Edo, Yamato? But isn't that!..' She looked at him confused as ever. "Ed-Edo, Ya-Yamato?! But then I'm home...don't you mean Tokyo, Japan?" She asked hoping this was not real that he had said wrong.
He looked at her with a face that matched her's. "To-Kee-Oh, Ja-pan? What is that? A place you were born or something?" He asked.
She looked at him to see he was not kidding. "Wait...What year is this?" She asked dreading as the words soon fell from his mouth.
"We're in Edo, Yamato...1654...Why?" He asked once more as he saw her with a shocken expression.
That's when realization hit her...she wasn't at her time...she was centries behind of her era. 'Kami-Sama! I'm not in the Meiji Era anymore...I'm in the Sengoku Jidai!!!' Her thoughts ended as the two exchanged glances at each other before the fire that once was a blaze was suddenly put out...leaving them in complete darkness...
