A horn blared loudly behind me, causing me to whip around, my eyes catching the white haired man standing in the middle of the street, glaring ahead at me, his arms crossed over his chest. I held my arms out at my sides, my gaze sliding over to the annoyed cab driver briefly before landing on him again.
"What are you doing!" my voice was high and rushed as I tried to wave him forward and out of the traffic jam that was now start to form to his left. He simply kept standing there, looking at me for a long while until I lowered my arms with a loud slam against my thighs and hung my head in annoyance. Only then did I hear him move, his pristine clothes rustling softly together as he walked. Sighing I raised my head, and after throwing an apologetic way at the furious cabby I hurried on, catching up to him within seconds.
"What the hell was that-"
"Women walk behind men." his words were simple, direct, but they still sent me wheeling into a state of confusion and, yes, major annoyance.
"No..." I said, hurrying ahead of him. "WOMEN can walk where ever they damn well please." I let out a short scoff. "Where the hell are you from? The middle ages?"
"Fine then. 'Women may walk where ever they want', "he said, making the whole idea sound utterly ridiculous as he grabbed my shoulder and hurled me to his side. "but YOU walk behind me." he held me in place as he passed, once again taking the lead. My eyes widened as my scrutiny landed on his hand as it left my shoulder, swinging down gracefully to his side.
'Are those...' my voice cut off in my head as my hand reached up to touch the shoulder he had grazed.
Claws.
What the hell!
"Hurry up!"the little frog man called over his shoulder at me. He was rewarded with yet another bonk on the head from Sesshomaru. Reluctantly, I began forward, staying far behind the two as we continued on our way, hoping a goddamn shrine would pop up soon.

"oookay!" I said, rubbing my hands together against the cold as I looked up at the glowing golden lanterns that lined the edeges of the shrines slanted roof, the mahogany wood catching the delicate snow flakes as they fell from the black sky, resting comfortably before they melted away. "Imma go now...but it was nice to meet you two." I was in mid turn when I was called back.
"What is your name?" Sesshomaru asked, his uninterested golden eyes resting on me. I felt my eyebrows pull together.
Why did he care?
He certainly didn`t look like her cared...
But, coming to the conclusion that the sooner I told him my name the sooner I could get as far away from him as possible I sighed.
"Kagome." I said, shoving my hands into my pockets. "Kagome Higurashi."
"Ahh." he said and started towards the door. Not expecting him to say anything I turned away, preparing to make my way back to the subway, when I heard a wind carried voice. A voice I wasn`t even sure I had heard. "Goodnight, little Miko."
I whirled around just in time to see the beads that hung in the shrines entrance way fall back into place, swinging back and forth in an almost hypnotizing way.
"...what?" I found myself asking the emptiness.
I suddenly found myself caught up in a whirlwind of memories, flashing in my head as fast as a lighter flicking, one sentence echoing over and over in my ears. My hands flew up to my face, my fists rubbing into my closed eyes.
But still, the memories played.

A tall, silver haired man stood high above as a tiny, wrinkled hand reached up, grasping it`s small fingers at him. A wide smile spread across his slight lips as his eyes turned into two warm pools of honey.
"Goodnight...little Miko..."

I felt somebody kick my foot, making my head fall forward, hitting my chin against my chest. I let out a loud groan and struggleed to open my eyes. The early mornings sun not helping as it made my pupils burn as I looked up at the tall figure standing before me.
"I thought you had left last night."
"God..." I sighed and let my head fall into my hands.
'Not this guy again.'
"Answer me." he demanded. I let out a short and struggled up, my feet cold and numb as I brushed the snow off the back of my coat.
"Yeah well..." I looked around at the shops just beginning to open, watching the people unlocking door and brushing snow off their windows and food racks. "apparently not." I looked up at him, measuring his expression.
He seemed pensive.
As if he were mulling something over in his mind.
"Walk with me." he said, staring off in the opposite direction before I had even registered what he said. But even as the angry slurs ran through my mind I found myself running after him.
What ever happened today I WAS getting answers.
I was sick of this shit.

"I am going to get right to the point here." he suddenly said, cutting through the awkward silence that had settled around us as we walked the last few blocks. I nodded slowly, pursing my lips.
"Oookay." I said, adjusting my cap over my ears. "Point."
"What are you." my head snapped to the side, my eyes boring into his.
'Did he seriously just ask that?!'
"What?" I asked, thinking I was not quite getting it.
Hoping I was missing something.
"I don not like to repeat myself." he sighed. "I demand to know what you are. You smell faintly of human...but still...there`s this other sce-" I cut him off, spinning around to face him.
"Are you saying I stink?"
"No." he sighed again, but this time, it was annoyed. "I wish you would listen."
"Oh, I`m listening." I snapped. "You`re saying I stink! And what is with that SCENT shit. You`re not a damn dog!"
"And what is wrong with being a Dog." his expression wasn`t angry...it was actually slightly...curious. My mouth open and closed a few times, unsure if he was being serious or just fucking with me.
"Well...nothing...I guess." I turned stiffly, starting forward again. "For a dog that is."
"Are you going to tell me what you are, Miko?" he said again, after another long pause. I felt a growl rise up in my throat, until...
...A light bulb went off in my brain.
"I will tell you...after you tell me what you are."
"What do you mean?" I let out a short laugh.
"What do I mean?" I reached forward and grabbed his hand before he could snatch it away. "NORMAL people don`t have claws." I dropping his hand. "NORMAL people don`t wear shit like...whatever this is..." I flicked the white fur around his neck. He shoved my hand away, an expression flicking across his face for a split second, disappearing before I could see what it was.
"Hn." he said, stopping and turning towards me. "Fine. This Sesshomaru shall tell you." Inside my chest my heart flipped, surprised he had actually fallen for it.
He didn`t seem like the type who would easily fall for such tricks.
"I am Lord Sesshomaru of the Western lands. I come from the year 1502... I am a Dog Daiyokai..."
'Well...that explains the ears...
"...My Father was the great Inu no Taisho."
My eyes widened and my vision pulsed as I turned my face up to look at him, my head feeling like a lead.
"Taisho...?" my voice was faint.
"Yes..." his voice seemed slightly confused. "Are you alright? Do you require medical care?" I squeezed my eyes shut and held up a hand as I shook my head. I took a deep breath and pried my eyes open, locking my eyes back with his.
"No...I`m fine."
"Alright." he gestured towards me. "You are required to tell me now." Suddenly I was uninterested in this whole conversation. I turned away.
"I am human." I called faintly over my shoulder. "I had a blood transfusion a couple days ago."
Yes...I know that was a suck ass lie, and anybody from this Era would know it was bull shit...but that asshole was from fucking 1503.
I didn`t know if I really believed him...but the clothes...the ears...the tattoos...that damned frog...it was all very heard to argue with.
But...if he was telling the truth...
...if he WAS...
...this was all about to get very interesting.

A great wolf stood atop the mountain.
The glittering white snow falling softly around it, coating it`s gleaming black fur as if melted and turned to ice. It`s brilliant brown eyes were fixed forward, weaving back and forth as it tried to see something through the thick blizzard that raged around it. The wolves gaze was desperate as it neared the edge carefully, glancing to it`s side every now and then, shining tears being yanked from it`s eyes by the harsh wind.
Her eyes became worried as they settled on something, her brow knitting together. With a short snort he turned her head away, raising it in the air one last time.
It`s desperate, broken howl echoed around it.
Her last attempt.
"TAISHO!"
In the distance...a baby cried.
The great wolf hung it`s head.
