Chapter 2

The lights from the time slip faded away.  In the bottom of an empty well inside an empty well house 500 years in the future stood an inu-hanyou holding a young human woman.  Inuyasha took a moment, like he always had to do in this noisy and smelly era, to adjust his senses.  He jumped out of the well and carried his precious cargo in front of him.  As he neared the door to the well house, he paused to listen and scent for anyone nearby.  Not hearing or scenting anyone besides himself and the girl in his arms, he opened the door and emerged into the daylight.  He then leapt up to Kagome’s bedroom window and let himself in.  He loved that she always kept it unlocked for him.  Well… unless he made her extremely angry.

As Inuyasha entered the window, two figures moved in the shadows next to the well house.

“This is it, huh?” asked the smaller, feminine figure.

“Feh, like I would know.  This is just the date you had written down in that book of yours,” answered the taller and more masculine of the two.  “Kinda smells like it though.”

“Hmm…  I can’t help thinking that we should have sent someone else.  What if we get caught?”

“You know we have a better chance of not getting caught than if we sent one of the others.  Besides, we have a better chance of talking our way out of trouble than they would.”

The smaller figured giggled.  “I never thought I’d hear you say that you were good at talking your way out of trouble,” she giggled again.

“Oi, Bitch!”

“Shhh!!  Not here!  He’ll hear you,” she giggled again.  He grumbled a bit, but wrapped his arms around her front while they both watched the house.  She snuggled back against his chest, enjoying being wrapped in his warmth.

“Hey?  Why didn’t he detect us?  She’s the only one affected now, right?” she asked.

“Feh, he’s too worried about her to notice that their scents were stronger than they should have been.  We’re close enough to the well that our scents blended together.”

“Hmm… If you say so,” she sighed then.  “I wish we brought our camera.  It would be nice to have some pictures of us at that time.  And of Sango and Miroku.  I still miss them so much.”

The arms tightened around her and the figure rested his head on top of hers.  “I know.  I miss them too, Kagome.  You know your mom has some pictures of us from then.  Now?...  Whatever.   I’m sure we can get copies once the well closes.”  He lowered his voice to a conspiratorial whisper, “And we can always sneak a couple disposable cameras into your old backpack.  You always seemed to have one after this trip through the well.”

She spun around in his arms and looked up at him with a bright smile on her face.  “Inuyasha!  That’s a great idea!  I remember I kept finding those in my bag and assumed Mama put them there so I could take pictures for her.  And I know it’s something I wouldn’t have thought of myself!”  She stood on her tiptoes and gave him a tender kiss.   

“Keh, I’m full of good ideas.  I just know a certain stubborn bitch who don’t listen to them half the time,” he replied softly.

She lightly slapped his shoulder with a laugh, “Dropping the kids off in the middle of a Canadian snowstorm in the middle of nowhere is not a good idea.”

He smiled back, “Oi!  What better way to put their survival skills to use?  And we’d get to have the house to ourselves until they found their way back.”  He began to lightly nibble on her ear then proceeded to lightly kiss and lick her neck.

“Mmmmm,“ she moaned as she closed her eyes.  “You cheater.  Maybe when little Manami hits 50…”

“I’ll hold you to it, Bitch.  Pups need to learn.”

“Mmmm, your bitch.  And we should stop.  What if you smell us?  I mean young you….  You know what I mean…”

He chuckled then gave her a lingering kiss on the lips.  “Mine,” he whispered.  “Ok, we’ll just sit here and wait then.  So much for keeping ourselves entertained,” he pouted playfully.  Then he unexpectedly started sniggering.

“What?” she asked with a playful smile.  She loved it when her hanyou laughed.  It took years after she met him before he could just laugh and be happy.

“Keh.  I was just thinking how funny it would be if you said it making that young idiot faceplant when he didn’t know where it was coming from.  I betcha I would have made up new swearwords on the spot.”

She laughed, “That’s mean!  Just because you don’t have the rosary anymore doesn’t mean you need to make him suffer.”

“But I never saw it from this perspective.  I bet it’s funny as hell to watch.  Just once, Kagome?” he had a mischievous twinkle in his eye that would have done Shippo proud.  “I’d owe you one,” he suggested.

“You owe me plenty,” she said as she tossed her hair back.  “Do you remember the rosary activating for no reason around this time?”

“Does that mean if I say yes, that you’ll do it?  So I can watch?  With a camera?  Video preferably.”

“Inuyasha…”

“H onestly, I don’t remember.  You used it so much back then, it all just blurred together.  I know there were several times you took me by surprise though, so you should be able to get away with it.”  He grinned, “I bet you could wear your old school uniform and take off the image charm and that idiot wouldn’t know the difference.”

“Hentai.  You just want to see me in that uniform again.”

“There’s that too.  It’s been 500 years.  And you said I could have my camera.”

“I’ll think about it…”

“Keh.”  The couple then settled down to watch the house while staying out of direct line of sight of Kagome’s window.  They knew they would be needed to help out their younger selves soon.

************************************

Inside Kagome’s room, Inuyasha had laid her down on her bed and covered her up with a spare blanket.  Once she was situated, he felt her forehead again and compared it to his own.  She seemed warmer than before.  He didn’t realize that it was because he wasn’t blushing at the moment.

“Fuck.  What am I gonna do with you, Wench?” Inuyasha asked softly.  He scented the air to attempt to locate her mother.  All the scents of her family were stale, like they hadn’t been here in days.  He opened the door to the hall and checked again.  The scents were still stale.  

He shrugged and walked down the hall to the bath room.  After a moment of searching, he found a small, square piece of cloth.  He eventually remembered how to get water out of the silver knobs above the white inlaid bucket and wet the cloth.  He shut off the water and wrung out the cloth.  He brought the damp cloth into Kagome’s room and placed it upon her forehead.

“We only got a few days until Sango gets her weapon fixed, so don’t go getting fucking sick on me.  You’re even home so you can go to that damn school of yours.  You can’t waste that chance by being sick, you know,” he said quietly.  He gently traced one of his claws down along a cheek, “You need to wake up so you can study, remember?  Don’t you have a test?”  Kagome didn’t stir a bit.

Inuyasha sat down on the floor by her bed with Tessaiga resting against a shoulder.  ‘Ok, what’s going on with her?  First she has that coughing fit, then gets all giggly…and stuff…’ he blushes again, ‘then she falls asleep for no reason. And she couldn’t really have meant it when she said and did that stuff.  I’m just a hanyou after all.  It all started with the coughing…  If she’s alright when she wakes up, I’ll go back to where we were and see if I can find anything there.’  He nodded as he developed a plan of action.  

He proceeded to stare at her, hoping that the feeling of being watched would bug her enough to get her to wake up.  If that didn’t work, he would then upgrade to gentle shakes and pokes.

Fortunately, things didn’t continue to the poking and prodding stage because a few moments later Kagome began to furrow her brow and move around a little, signaling that she was waking up.  

As her eyes opened and took in her surroundings, she heard, “Oi, Wench?  You alright?”  She blinked, and started to do a mental inventory.  Nothing seemed like it was hurting…

She rolled to her side and propped her head on her hand, which caused the washcloth to fall away.  She looked at Inuyasha questioningly, “I guess… Was something wrong?”

Inuyasha sputtered, “Wr…Wrong?!  You…you started acting all funny then just passed out!  You didn’t even try to wake up the entire time I carried you here.”

“Really?” she asked, trying to remember.  “How was I acting?”

Inuyasha instantly blushed as he recalled what exactly she did.  “Uh… y..you just got all giggly and stuff…” he muttered.

“Huh.  I wonder what the ‘stuff’ was that got you all red like that.”  Inuyasha’s head jerked around to stare at her.  They usually didn’t comment on blushes if they noticed one on the other person.  It was part of their unspoken code.  

She noticed the stare, “I…I said that out loud?”  He just nodded.  “I must still be groggy I guess…”

“Feh.  If you’re alright, then you should get something to eat and start that studying thing.  Looks like Sango bought you some time for your school.”

She sat up then got out of bed.  “Well, come on.  Let’s see if Mama has any lunch left over.”

“Your family isn’t here.  Don’t smell like they’ve been here for days.”

“Huh,” she shrugged, “well, there’s probably a note in the kitchen, and I can make Ramen if there’s nothing else.”  Inuyasha’s ears perked up at the mention of Ramen and he happily followed her downstairs.

In the kitchen, Kagome did indeed find a note from her mother saying that her and Ji-chan had went to visit another shrine and would be gone for a couple weeks.  Souta was staying at a friend’s house so he wouldn’t miss any school.

“Looks like we have the house to ourselves for a while,” Kagome told Inuyasha as she opened the fridge.  She didn’t find anything quick and easy, so she started heating water for Ramen.  She sat at the table and waited for the water to boil.

“Hey Kagome?”

“Yeah?”

“What are jeans?”  Now it was Kagome’s turn to blush as she faintly recalled the blue jean conversation she had earlier.
