Unexpected Guest

A.N. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for not updating in FOREVER! I had what I think was the worst case of writer's block in history. But a few days ago it just went away, so I've been writing like crazy!

Hakudoushi-gurl: Thanks for the complement. And I did go check out your story. I thought it was ok, but I don't know how you were able to research some of those questions. I also made a mistake in my review when I told u that the title of that book was whatever I said it was. The book is called mysteries and secrets revealed: The Inuyasha Experience

NOMIFAIRY: thanks, I LOVE cookies! ^_^ but u can keep the milk, I'm allergic. And thanks for telling your friend about me. The more feedback I get the better.

Chey: YAY! ^_^ cookies good for me!!!!!!!

hentai18ancilla: I don't really know if there will be more fluff between them. I'm trying to take this story slower than my other ones. That way it doesn't seem so rushed.

KInasha14: I have been considering that.

kinkyneko33: I'm glad you liked it. ^_^

Ok, now that reviews are done…ON TO THE STORY *points sword out like a horseman about to charge towards some unknown foe*

Chapter 7:Who knew dogs climbed trees??

The weeks crawled past so slowly that sometimes Kagome thought time was standing still. Even though her ribs were healing and she could now get out of bed and walk around as long as she didn't hit her ribs, Sesshoumaru had been a complete jerk the whole time. When she awoke the day after she had apologized he had reverted back to his distant, cranky, frozen self and had completely ignored her except to give her an order or to tell her something Ayuri wanted her to do. She sighed as she got up and made her way downstairs to find Sesshoumaru.

“Sup?” Ayuri said as Kagome walked into the kitchen.

Kagome walked over to the fridge to get a drink before sitting down on a chair next to Ayuri. “Nothing much,” she replied, opening her drink with a practiced ease, “I was just looking for Sesshoumaru. I kinda need to talk to him, even though he seems to always be either mad at me or he will sit there and make sure I know he's not listening to me.”

“At least he will stay in the same room with you. I must disgust him or something, because he won't get within 30 feet of me.”

“Don't take it personally,” Kagome said as she traced the rim of her drink with her finger, “He does that to basically everyone. He is a demon after all.”

“What does that have to do with it?”

Kagome just stared at her friend like she had grown a second head until she realized that she hadn't explained that part of the story to her. “See, where he's from there are just as many demons as there are humans. The demons think that humans are inferior to them because they are not as strong or fast as them. Well, actually they just think humans are inferior. And the humans hate the demons because they terrorize their villages and kill their family and friends.”

Ayuri was still confused. She couldn't figure one part out. So she asked Kagome, “what about Inuyasha? Wasn't he half demon and half human?”

“Yes, he was. Hanyou's like Inuyasha were very rare though. Because only a handful of humans and demons ever fell in love or had a child. And hanyou's were despised by both humans and demons.”

“Why,”

“I never quiet figured that out either. All I know was that anytime we entered a village or encountered a demon, including Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha was treated like dirt, sometimes lower than dirt. They hated him and called him a disgrace. Sesshoumaru tried to kill him more than once because his hanyou blood `tainted their family's bloodline.'”

Ayuri looked horrified, “But I met Inuyasha. I didn't think there was anything bad about him.”

“I didn't either, but almost anyone else we encountered couldn't stand to look at him. So you see, that's why Sesshoumaru seems like he can't stand to be in the same room with you. It's because you are a human and he's a demon.”

“But what about you? He stays in the same room with you.”

“Yeah, but if you think about it, I'm the only person here he knows. He knows that if he wants to get back home he has to be near me. And I guess it makes it easier for him if he is close to something he knew from his home.”

“Yeah whatever, I still think it's weird.”

“It's ok, I thought it was pretty stupid when I first went to the feudal era, actually I still think it's stupid. But there is nothing we can do about it. We just have to make the best of it.”

“Cool,” Ayuri said, still looking confused, “I have one more question for you.”

“Shoot,”

“Do all demons look like Sesshoumaru? I mean, all the pictures I've seen of demons have shown them as hideous, abnormal creatures.”

“Oh, that! No, most demons do look like hideous beasts. Only the most powerful of demons have a humanoid form. Sesshoumaru, for example, looks like a ginormous white dog when he is in his demon form.”

“What do you mean by ginormus?”

“When I saw him in his demon form, he looked at least as tall as a skyscraper. He was HUGE!”

“Oh, that sounds like fun…” Ayuri said softly, trying to imagine how he would look.

“Yeah, it was LOADS of fun,” Kagome said sarcastically, “Anyway, back to what I came down here for originally. Have you seen Sesshoumaru?”

“He is probably in that tree that overlooks your room. It seems like every time I walk past there he's sitting in one of its branches, looking bored. Who knew that dogs climbed trees?”

“Thanks,” she replied, throwing her drink away as she walked over to the sliding glass doors that lead to the backyard. She paused when she got to it and looked back at Ayuri, “Hey, what do ya say we go to the movies tonight?”

“That sounds great! But do you think Sess would like it?”

Kagome thought for a moment before she said, “I think he would. I mean, he likes to watch TV. We'll just have to warn him about the noise. I'll ask him while I'm out there.”

“Ok,”

Kagome walked outside to find that Sesshoumaru was indeed in the tree near her window. He was sitting on one of the lower branches with his back resting on the trunk. He sat with one leg propped up against the tree and the other dangled off the edge beside him, his arm resting lightly in his lap. He looked like he was sleeping, but she knew better. He had probably awoken as soon as she opened the door. She walked over to the tree and climbed up so that she was sitting next to him. When he continued to “sleep” she sighed and said, “Look, I know you're awake so you can drop the act.”

He opened his eyes lazily and stared at her blankly, “Did you have a nice time talking about this Sesshoumaru with that girl?”

“Figures, I can't talk to anyone within a 1000 miles of you or else you'll hear me.”

“Of course,”

“Well, I'm sorry I had to use you as an example. But you're the only demon she has met, besides Inuyasha. And I had to explain it to her in a way she could understand.”

“hnnn”

“Anyway, I needed to talk to you. I know you don't want to talk to me, but if I am ever gonna get you home then we are going to have to talk.”

“What do you wish to talk about?” he asked her, continuing to stare blankly at her.

“Well, first off I wanted to ask you if you want to go to the movies with me and Ayuri tonight.”

“What is that?”

“It's like watching TV, except the pictures appear on a bigger screen and there are no commercials. It's kinda noisy though. It's not as noisy as the club, but it's still pretty loud.”

“Very well,”

“YAY! Oh and I also wanted to ask you, do you remember if you were near a tree of ages when you were transported here. You know, like the one the battle with Hyoga took place at.”

“No, all I remember is that I was near a large body of water.”

“A large body of water?” Kagome said, giving him a strange look, “Well that makes no sense, because there are no large bodies of water near the shrine. The only thing I can come up with is that maybe someone summoned you here. Although I don't know why.”

“Hnnn,”

“Well, I guess I'll let you get back to your `nap,'” she said as she prepared to climb back down to the ground, but she stopped when his hand came to rest lightly on her shoulder.

“Wait,” he said softly, and for a moment Kagome thought she had imagined it.

“What?” she asked him, looking up into his deep, amber eyes.

“Just stay up here for a while,” he said and Kagome could have sworn she was hearing things.

But his hand remained on her shoulder so she said, “ok.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ayuri couldn't help but smile as she watched them. It was obvious that they were attracted to each other. But they were both too stubborn to say anything. She watched as after a while Kagome moved to get out of the tree, but then she paused and moved back to rest her head on his raised knee. “Yes,” she said as she moved to get something from the fridge, “great chemistry.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“So,” Ayuri said as they got into the car, “What should we go see?”

“I don't know,” Kagome said, “Let's try to think of something we all would like.”

“What about Pirates of the Caribbean II? I saw the reviews for the English version. It's supposed to be really good.”

“Well, if it's anything like the first one then I'm sure it's very good. Speaking of which, Sesshoumaru didn't you watch the first one last week with me?”

“Yes,”

“Did you like it?”

“Yes,”

“Well then it's settled,” Ayuri said smiling, “We're going to see Pirates II!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they got to the theater Ayuri went to go buy them tickets while Kagome took Sesshoumaru to go get snacks.

“So Sesshoumaru, what do you want?” Kagome asked him as they stood in line.

He looked down at her and lifted one of his large silver eyebrows, “Why are you asking me? You know that I don't know what any of these things are. You get something for this Sesshoumaru.”

She smiled and turned back to the concession stand, “Ok, but when I get you something and you don't like it, you can't complain.”

Sesshoumaru watched her as she ordered their drinks and snacks. She was wearing dark jeans, black converses, and a red halter top. She had left her hair down so that it cascaded down her back in waves, ending just below the top of her jeans. He was beginning to like the clothes of the era. They allowed him to move more freely and they were really comfortable. Not to mention they looked better, especially on Kagome. Yes, he was definitely going to miss them when he went back. Considering that if Kagome was telling the truth, he would have to wait 500 years to wear them again. Noticing that Kagome couldn't carry all of the things they had gotten, he picked up their drinks for her. Then they both walked over to where Ayuri was standing talking to a man in his mid 20's with flaming red hair.

“Hey Ayuri, who's this?” Kagome asked her as she handed her drink and snacks to her.

“Oh Kagome, I was wondering if you would mind me skipping out on the movie? I still bought your tickets, but see I met Kai while I was getting tickets and we wanted to go see something together. But he's already seen Pirates II.” She handed Kagome the tickets.

“Sure, go have fun!” Kagome said, then she smirked and added, “Should we wait for you or will you find another way home?” She continued to smirk even though she knew that Ayuri was very cautious and wouldn't ride home with him on their first date.

“That's the part we didn't figure out. See, our movie doesn't start for another hour. So I guess I'll call a cab or something.”

“Kagome,” Sesshoumaru said softly, his voice sounding closer than she remembered him being.

“Yes,”

“If you do not mind riding with this Sesshoumaru, I can take us home.”

“Kagome looked at him for a moment before realization struck and she nodded, “Ok, that works. We'll leave the car for you and then meet you back home. Is that ok?”

“Yeah, I guess,” Ayuri said, still trying to figure out what Sesshoumaru meant and how it would work. With that settled the group parted and Kagome and Sesshoumaru headed off to their movie while Ayuri and her new date went to sit on some chairs near the entrance.

“You did mean what I thought you meant right?” Kagome asked once they found their seats in the theater.

“I can run home while you ride on my back.”

“That's what I figured you meant. By the way, why was your aura flickering so much while we were over there?”

“That man was a youkai.”

Kagome frowned, “But I didn't sense any other demonic aura but yours.”

He was hiding it with a concealment spell,” he said as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. But when she continued to look confused he elaborated, “It works the same way as the Tessaiga did for Inuyasha. You cast the spell on an object like a necklace or something and while you are wearing it your aura will dissipate and you will appear human.”

“So, how could you tell he was a demon?”

“This Sesshoumaru had seen enough of those spells to be able to spot them.”

“Oh,” Kagome said, quieting down when the movie started.

A.N. ok, there! It is done! I hope ya'll are happy! I typed the entire final draft for this tonight, which has taken several hours. So now…I am going to bed!
