Chapter 7: A Stranger From The Past

Inuyasha was sitting up in a tree grumbling. `Feh. Where the hell is she? I get she had stuff to do, but hell, I can't wait forever. If she doesn't come soon, I'm gonna drag her ass here myself.'

Inuyasha was quite irritated, and that was why Shippo was of playing as far away from the hanyou as possible. `Sheesh! That grouch!' Shippo glanced over at Inuyasha who was slowly breaking the branch he was sitting on, by pounding his hand onto the branch from frustration. `One, two and three,' Shippo counted. Then he saw Inuyasha fall to the ground with the branch under him. `Hehe', Shippo giggled under his breath.

"Damn branch. Can't anything stay put?!" Inuyasha yelled implying more than one thing in his last comment.

"Inuyasha, just shut up and wait until Kagome finishes whatever it is she needs to do. It must be important if she's been gone for so long," Shippo wisely told the half demon who was dusting himself off.

"If she doesn't come back by tomorrow, I'm going after her myself. She probably forgot all about the shard. Miroku and Sango are coming back soon and we will need her to go shard hunting," Inuyasha said with promise.

"Stupid mutt, are you that dumb? Hello, what's the point of bringing her back till the others come back? Isn't it better she stays in her time for the until then? Yeah, yeah I miss her, but she does have a family on the other side of the well right?" Shippo commented in a way beyond his short years of life.

"Whatever, but she could at least come here and visit to tell me what was up with the demon that attacked us. Whatever the demon was talking about hit Kagome pretty hard, and I want to know why. Or just visit so I can talk to some one else then a stupid cub," Inuyasha snarled.

"Inuyasha, I get that your life is put on hold when Kagome leaves us for a while, but can you once look further then your needs, you stupid flee bag?" Shippo spoke out then squeaked when Inuyasha lunged himself at the kitsune.

The rest of the day was spent yelling insults back and forth between the two. You couldn't be sure who was more immature, the 70 year old hanyou or the six year old kitsune.

"Kento, where did Kagome go in such a rush? We haven't even eaten yet." Seito asked her beloved fiancé.

Kento looked deeply into Seito's eyes. He muttered a few words and watched Seito's eyes glaze over slowly. "Kagome is a very troubled child. She just needed to go and cope with her frustrations. She's not the type to be able to cope with life's problems. We should sit down and talk about Kagome's life and where it's going, don't you think so my dear Seito."

Seito just nodded her head slowly. She shook her head from her daze. "Yes of course Kento." Seito watched Kento's back as he headed towards the family room. A look of puzzlement crossed her face. `Kagome not being able to cope with her life? Why does that sound unbelievable? What am I thinking? Of course Kento is right.' Seito then followed Kento into the family room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome just stared at the immensely cold gold eyes. How could this be? He can't be here. Not in my time.

"You do know that it is incredibly rude to stare?" The stranger asked with amusement.

"H…ho…how is this possible?" Kagome asked bewildered.

"Oh, you did not think I would die did you? How very disappointing you don't think more highly of me," The stranger asked with fake disappointment.

"Well with all the times you tried to kill me, I kind of got this urge to hope you were dead," Kagome shot back folding her arms across her chest.

"Yes I remember now. You did well to stay alive," The not so strange stranger pointed out.

"Yes as I remember, I did almost kill you with my arrow a few times," Kagome said smugly.

"How is it possible that you are here and not look like you aged a year since I last saw you? To be quite blunt you look younger then the last time I saw you," he said with genuine curiosity.

Kagome snickered, "That's for me to know and you to never find out fluffykins," Sesshomaru was a little irritated by the little name given to him.

"You do know I can kill you at any moment don't you my dear miko?" he said quietly as an old couple walked past them.

"Yes I do know that. Yet I also know that you must know the laws of the 21st century do you not, Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked placing her and in her lap waiting for an answer.

"I am a very powerful person in Japan. My money can take me far in today's world," He replied back tapping his finger on the bench.

"Yes true, but if I may ask, what is with the sudden appearance? If you still don't possess the Tenseiga, and wish to, I'm not willing to get it," Kagome said then raising her chin with defiance.

"I do not need a sword. Yet I do wish to know why you were crying," the dog demon asked while raising an eye brow the only show of emotion on his blank mask.

"Well if you must know, my life is oh-so-crappie," Kagome responded more harshly then she intended to.

"Why would your life be so, uh, crappie?"

"Well let's just say I hate demons like you a lot."

"Hmm, is that so? Us demons have made your life unhappy?"

"I can't believe I'm talking about this with a cold blooded killer," Kagome said under her breath.

"You know I heard you. I have never been a cold blooded killer. I only had to do what I had to do to keep my lands free of pesky intruders," Sesshomaru said. "But I don't need to explain myself to you."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are very noble in your deed. Hmpf. What ever. So what's your name anyway? It can't be Sesshomaru now can it?" Kagome asked mockingly.

"Well you might have heard of me. My name in this time is Maru Tekenu." Sesshomaru answered with slight interest what the miko's reaction would be.

"I should have known that you owned the most powerful company in the all of Japan." Kagome said with slight exasperation. "Wait if I remember, the latest rumor about you, you were last seen coming out of a gay bar, Kagome said snickering. "I could see that from you. You are always so feminine looking. If you change from your armor to a kimono you could very well pass as a woman. You also don't seem the type to like woman very much. With your whole I'm more superior then you attitude," Kagome rambled on. But stopped when she saw the glare she was getting from the tei-youkai and broke into a fit of laughter.

Sesshomaru looked at Kagome heatedly, "That rumor is completely false. I did not go into a gay bat. Yes I was near one but only because I had business to take care of close to it." Kagome just stared at him for a few second before breaking into another fit of giggles.

"Oh I haven't laughed so much in a while. I should thank you for that I guess (Kagome still trying to keep from bursting out laughing again). "So what do you want with me then."

Sesshomaru stood up and Kagome's eyes followed is graceful movement, "That is for me to know and for you to…find out," Sesshomaru smirked and walked away.

Kagome watched his retreating form and slightly smiled. `Who would have thought that Sesshomaru would be the one to cheer me up?' Kagome stood up and walked the opposite was the teyo-youkai did and started the slow journey home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kagome walked into her house to hear whispering coming out of the family room. Kagome slipped out of her soaking shoes and went down the hallway leaving wet footprints behind. Kagome neared the room but topped when she heard her name.

"Maybe Kagome should stop her miko training. I now that it is a family custom, but maybe it makes her life a little too difficult," Kagome heard Kento say. She waited holding her breath in for her mother's response.

"I don't know if that's a good idea. She loves her training. We already have taken her away from her school do you really think it is necessary?" Seito asked.

Kagome heard whispering and then she couldn't believe what her mother said next, "Yes Kento your right. I have been foolish. Kagome needs to be kept close to watch over since she is so fragile."

`What!? Fragile!? Me!? I'm so far away from fragile. I face demons everyday, putting my life on the line to get the jewel back together and I'm fragile!? Feh. Great. Now I sound like Inuyasha. They can't just stop me from going to feudal Japan. I got to stop this from happing.'

Kagome walked into the room to see her mother shaking her head in confusion. "Mom, what is this about me not continuing my `miko training'?"

"Well dear we are not fully sure what we will do, but it is a possibility. You have been very stressed out lately," Her mother said softly.

"We? We mother? He's not my father. He shouldn't be making these kinds of choices," Kagome said exasperated.

"Kagome he is like a part of the family. He is also part of these kinds of discussions, is that clear? He is after all, my fiancé," Seito replied sternly.

"Whatever mom. I'm going to go do some `miko training' for a few uh…weeks." Kagome stormed out of the room leaving a shocked look across her mothers face. Kento just sat next to Seito looking smugly, but comforted Seito none the less.

`Forbidding me from going to Inuyasha's time ever again, how dare she do that! Kento is poisoning her mind. Maybe I should just tell Inuyasha and let him kick the crap out of Kento. Mom will get over this eventually. As for Sota he'll probably forget all about Kento in a few years. So it's decided. Inuyasha is coming to kill Kento.'

Kagome finished packing her giant yellow bag and lifted it on her shoulders. She walked out of the house and headed for the shrine. She opened the doors to the mini shrine that contained the well inside. Kagome descended down the stairs and jumped into the well.

Kagome felt the consuming power of the well as it enveloped her whole being as she was transported to the past. To Inuyasha. She climbed up the vines, contemplating if she was doing the right thing. Kagome swung the bag over the well and climbed out over the rim of the well. `Hmm where's Inuyasha? He's usually here to help me out of the well. It is late maybe he just doesn't sense me yet.'

Kagome started to head for the village to Kaede's hut but stopped short when she saw a soul stealer headed to the forest. `She can't be here now, can she?' Kagome moaned to her self. She ran after the soul stealer to a deep clearing inside the forest. She saw Inuyasha standing in front of her facing Kikyou so he didn't notice Kagome yet.

Kagome must have entered between an argument between Kikyou and Inuyasha because Kikyou was yelling at Inuyasha about something she couldn't quite catch. Then Kagome stopped breathing because of what she saw next.

Inuyasha stopped Kikyou's yelling by kissing her passionately. Kikyou struggled at first but gave in at the end kissing him back just as forcefully and passionately.

Kagome just ran then. She couldn't believe her luck. Kagome cried helplessly from the pain emitting from her heart. Her feet had taken her to the well. She collapsed in front of the well. She bowed her head and cried soundlessly. She whispered into the air the person she thought would make all her troubles go away. "Inuyasha."
