Chapter 9: Run in with a Drug Dealer

Sesshoumaru watched the man who was burned hold his injured hand to him as his friend crowded around to see. He wanted to laugh at the surprised look on their faces. He waited and watched, not wanting to interfere as long as she could handle her self. Even in this human form he retained all of his demon powers. If she needed help he would be sure to give it.

. . . . . . .

Kagome decided it was about time to test her powers out a little. She waited; knowing on of the stupid idiots would try to retaliate. Soon enough another one of the druggies pulled a knife and came at her. A wind came out of nowhere and knocked the guy back. He was unprepared for it and the knife flew out of his grasp to stick in the wall above one of the guy's heads. She heard the dead sound of a gun cocking behind her. Shit, she didn't know what she could do against a gun. She turned slowly to see the dark-skinned man from the deal, the leader, with a gun in his hand pointed at her heart. Once again a presence tugged at her mind but she ignored it.

"Silly, silly. You are a miko, huh?" The man smiled at her. "You may be able to blast knives out of peoples hands and burn them, but what are you going to do about a bullet?" He raised the gun up and started to pull the trigger.

The world slowed its pace down to a rate at which moving felt like it was impossible. But when she went to move her limbs they worked at the same rate as if the rest of the world was going at a normal pace. She saw the tall, black haired man moving at a pace impossible for a human toward the man who had shot at her. The bullet slowly erupted from the gun and started traveling towards her. She shot a purple streak at the bullet watching as it enveloped the guns discharge in lavender light. Earth resumed its normal speed and Kagome shook her head and opened her eyes to see the purple light fade, leaving nothing in its wake. The Drug Dealers eyes widened.

"What the he…" His words were cut short. He dropped forward onto his front, decapitated. The handsome, raven haired man stood behind him looking sinister with blood dripping from his claws. Claws? So this man was a demon? She turned to look behind her to see the rest of the druggie shaking. When she turned around she saw then take a step back or wince.

"Don't kill me!" Before turning and running, others following his example. "Aahh!" Another yelled before the rest of them turned and scampered off, stumbling in their attempt to get away. Kagome was left in the alleyway with the strange killer. He was peering at her intently, as if waiting for something. Again Kagome felt like he was so familiar. She shut her eyes to gain control of the emotions this mans face brought forth.

"Who are you, demon?" She stared at him with all the courage she could muster. A smirk that looked alien on the familiar features appeared at her question.

"Who am I, she asks. The question is, do you recognize me after all these months?" He wanted so badly to laugh at the arrested look on her face but held it in and forced a cold emotionless look onto his face.

"I don't remember meeting a demon who looked like you in this time. Only a long while ago…" She trailed off and looked slightly sad. It made him want to take her in his arms and made him fell guilty for waiting this whole year.

"I am this time, your past and hopefully your future." He replied o her and she narrowed her eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about? Lamens terms please." She felt angry, confused, hopeful, and a jumble of other emotions. This guy, uh demon, looked very familiar, so much that her heart screamed with the pain of memories. He had a beautifully sculpted face, gold tinted brown eyes, and a body built to perfection. Her idea of perfection was lean-hipped, broad shouldered but not overly, and muscular, but again not too much.

"Lamens Terms? So you don't think I resemble anyone from your distant past? About 500 years ago?" He saw her give him a sharp look.

He, no way. This couldn't be… Well, she knew one way to find out. She was afraid that this was a fluke and he was some one else she should be remembering. She cautiously reached out and touched his mind with hers, gently. She yanked back in surprise, then had happiness written all over her face.

"Is, I, You…" She tried to straighten out her words but simply could not speak. He smiled at her and all at once memories flooded her mind of the few other times he had sincerely smiled for her. "Sesshou-chan!" She flew at him and into his arms. He held her against him, content for the first time in centuries. The sky above was the bluest it had ever been. Kagome gently pulled back and searched his eyes, tears glistening in her own.

"I know, it looks strange to see me with black hair and the rest, doesn't it? Shippou had to teach me how to alter my countenance so humans would not wonder." He answered her unvoiced question.

"Shippou?" She looked at him hopefully. He gave her another one of those smiles that seemed so much easier now.

"Ah yes, the little brat. Shippou, you may come out now." He looked over at a box that wiggled a little. Then the box spoke.

"I was going to make a big entrance, Sesshoumaru!" A voice much like Shippou's whined. There was a poof! And there appeared a teenage Shippou, dressed in modern clothes. He was much taller, taller even than her by almost a foot. He smiled at her and she noticed that his fags were drawn in his mouth and his ears were rounded, not pointy. But his hair Was still red.

"Hey Kagome, what's up?" She ran to him and threw her arms around him, hugging him hard. He hugged her back tightly.

"My god, Shippou, you have grown!" She had to look up a little to look into his face. He smiled shyly.

"I know. It's been five hundred years since you last saw me. I may have changed a little." He exaggerated. She pouted at the sarcasm in his voice and slapped his arm lightly. "Besides, in this form, I am tall." Kagome guessed correctly that he had to keep this form so no one would walk in and see him in his true form.

"Why don't we take her home, Shippou? Do you think she'll like it?" He had a teasing grin on his face and Kagome flabbergasted at how easily he smiled now. She liked it; she was just… not accustomed to it. Shippou returned his teasing grin and steered Kagome closer to Sesshou and took one of Sesshou's hands and one of hers. Sesshou grabbed the other one and they formed a misshapen circle. Sesshou squeezed her hand she realized they were glowing. Shippou had his eyes closed and when he opened them they were blue.

"Home," He whispered. Everything around her began to shimmer and the color ran together. The physical world melted and blackness replaced it. The only feeling she had was of the two hands firmly grasping her own. Slowly the world materialized around her and her legs felt like rubber. Her whole body tingled and she let go of the two hands to rub her arms.

"I forget how your skin tingles after the first time you Cross." He gave her a sheepish grin. "Should've warned you. Sorry."

"Its okay. I`m sure I'll live." She mumbled. In a louder voice she said, "You've improved your skill greatly, Shippou. That's awesome." Shippou looked happy at her praise and Sesshou raised an eyebrow, but it wasn't like before. Now there was a seemingly permanent grin there as he watched her rub her arms. "What?" she asked but he just shook his head.

"Sesshoumaru, you never grin this much. Why donchya just spit it out?" Shippou implored.

"If you could see what she was thinking right now you'd be laughing too." Sesshou explained. Kagome blushed all the way to her hair. She had forgotten about their telepathic link. Now she knew why he was grinning at her like that. She'd thought first that she was most definitely going to miss school and she had better call her mother. Then how if Sesshou was over here rubbing her arms for her it would more than make up for it. Then her thoughts went to how much he had changed and if he'd learned anything new for her…

She turned so crimson she could have blended in with a brick wall. Sesshou only grinned wider.

"If you want, you can find out what I've learned since the last time." Sesshou's grin was infinitely seductive. She blushed again and Shippou rolled his eyes.

"Give me a break, guys. I really don't want to know about my Uncle's sex life." Shippou looked so mortified that Kagome laughed.

"Your uncle?" Kagome asked when she had stopped laughing. She was a little confused about that part. Sesshou answered.

"I call him my nephew so he can go to school. His parents died and I am closest Kin. Or at least, that's what everyone's supposed to think." Kagome listened while looking around. The room they were in had a high gold ceiling and was richly decorated. There were some pieces she recognized as Art Deco. The room had a plush rug covering the floor and a big-screen TV on the far side of the room. The furniture all looked expensive and comfortable.

"Snubs!" She whispered, awestruck at the grandeur of the room. She spun on them, a look of great anger in her face and stature. "How long have you been here, hiding out, probably watching me?" Sesshou and Shippou shifted uncomfortably at the accurate accusation. "How did you get here? Why didn't you tell me until now?" She seemed exhausted with her ranting and her shoulders slumped down as she stared at the rug. "Don't you care? Don't you care that I had to suffer thinking I would never see you again? This whole year I've had to suffer while you knew perfectly well where I was." She almost wanted to cry. After all this time did Sesshou stop loving her? Her control on her emotions was the only thing that prevented her tears to flood her pained eyes. They were hollow as she tried to come to terms with the fact Sesshou might not love her anymore. She squared her shoulders and slowly turned to face Sesshou, a look of determination in his eyes. The onslaught hit her before she could get a word out. His feelings, his reasonings, but most of all his love for her whirled in her brain. She gasped at the intensity of it all and was left short of breath when it finally slowed. She looked into his pleading eyes, hoping for understanding from her. She melted at the look in them and felt horrible. Of course, there must have been a reason why he had not made his presence known to her before now.

"I'm sorry guys. I just didn't know why you would wait to get me until now. What was the reason why it took you so long?" She looked at the both of them who were looking slightly unsure of a response. She frowned. "Is there a problem?"

"Sort of. There was a prophecy that two from opposite times could not be together due to the laws of time. I was told that I must wait until the moon had waxed and waned ten times." Sesshou explained cryptically.

"By who?" Kagome asked.

"By me." A female voice startled Kagome and she turned to see the person who had entered the room. She was a hanyou!
