Kagome looked down at her flapper dress. The year was 1922; she was in the United States, New York to be exact. The years were growing closer to 1929; something she dreaded. She had heard and seen pictures of the great depression, but she never thought she would live through it. But then again she never thought she would live to meet the people she has known, nor do the things she has done.

 

Kagome walked down the street to a small diner she ate at often. She would be leaving today for Japan to meet with the new heir, now that they were 15 years of age. This had become a routine for her to make trips to Japan every five years or so to check up on things.

 

Pushing the door open Kagome heard the familiar tinkling of the door bell.

 

“You're never late for lunch Samantha! Shall I get you the usual?”

 

Kagome nodded and sat down at her usual table. She was known as Samantha right now, until she faked her death again in either a plane crash, or a drowning accident. She made it a habit to either move away for `work' or die every so often. That way the people she got to know wouldn't notice her not aging.

 

A plate with a hamburger was set down in front of her along with an iced tea. “Thanks Frank!”

 

“No problem Samantha.”

 

Kagome smiled as the older man left and picked up her burger to take a bite when a young man sat down across from her. It was Frank's son, Nick.

 

“Hey Sam, You're dressed up today, what for?”

 

“I'm going to visit family in Japan. My plane leaves in a few hours so I wanted to come and eat lunch here before I left.”

 

“Ohhh.” Nick nodded and continued to sit across from her in silence before asking the question on his mind. “When will you be back?”

 

“Maybe a week. I'll come see you and your father when I return, okay?”

 

Nick nodded and stood up to clear a table. He was a nice boy, but Kagome couldn't date anyone, or at least she didn't want to. No one knew about her past or what she was. She couldn't- no- wouldn't put any one though that.

 

As she finished the burger Kagome walked to the counter and paid for her food.

 

“Nick told me you're going to visit family. Did you think you were going to get away without saying goodbye?”

 

Kagome laughed as Frank hugged her, soon followed by Frank's wife, Wilma, and lastly, Nick.

 

“I promise I'll come visit you when I return. I'll have my usual like always Frank. I'll see you later!”

 

Kagome left the small dinner and walked down the street a ways before hailing a taxi.

`Back to Japan….'

Kagome walked into a spacious den area, red leather chairs with matching couches, hard wood floors with beige rugs, book shelves filled with hard back novels, and a cozy fire place, lit to warm the room. It was Sesshomaru alright, but the pale clawed hand that was resting on the arm rest wasn't.

 

“I figured you would have come to see me, word that I'm here would have traveled fast.”

 

Deep, cheerful laughter filled her ears, and Kagome watched as InuYasha stood up. He was clad in loose fitting jeans and a black button up shirt, un-buttoned to show the white under-shirt. “That street goes both ways you know.”

 

Kagome smiled and ran toward him, jumping into his open arms. “It's good to see you again.”

 

InuYasha hugged her tight for a moment and then held her at arms length, looking at her up and down. “I see you've cut your hair, I don't think Sesshomaru will be happy about that.”

 

“When did you start caring about what would make Sesshomaru happy? Usually you would be ecstatic if I did something that put a scowl on his flawless face.”

 

“In your absence Sesshomaru and I got to know each other better. You were right so long ago when you said we were more alike then we thought.”

 

Kagome smiled as InuYasha dropped his arms and they both sat down, one across from the other in the high back arm chairs, enjoying the silence before InuYasha broke it.

 

“I see you've been claimed in the short amount of time that we last saw you.”

 

Kagome nodded, “Yes; I have.”

 

“Does he make you happy?”

 

Kagome nodded again, “He does.”

 

“Kagome, I know this is a tender subject with you, but…..just what happened between you and my brother?” InuYasha paused and looked over to Kagome, “Things seemed to be going fine until the two days before you guys were to be married, I mean he just up and left”

 

Kagome sighed and looked down to her lap, fiddling her thumbs. “Sesshomaru and I told each other we wouldn't tell anyone. But I guess it doesn't really matter now, now does it?” Kagome paused, took a deep breath and sighed before continuing. “The night before we called it off, I went to his room to finalize something trifle, place settings or something, and you know his room is sound proof, well…….I found him with a demoness……the demoness he matted to be exact. We fought, and I told him that if he could cheat on me two days before we were to marry then why were we marrying at all….he left and didn't come back for a week. We made a promise to each other to never tell another living soul, but since that's the past and this is now, I don't see much harm in it if you keep your mouth shut.”

 

Kagome looked over to InuYasha and the emotion in his eyes made her want to cry. She saw such pity there, and what looked like guilt.

 

“InuYasha….?”

 

“You deserve a man who will not go to another woman, I remember what I did to you every time I went to Kikyou, and I knew something had happened when I saw the way you acted for months after you and Sesshomaru called the wedding off. I'm so sorry Kagome.”

 

Kagome looked up from her lap to InuYasha, tears streaming down her face. “Oh, InuYasha….” Kagome lunged from her seat, wrapping her arms around his waist and burring her face into his chest as she cried more. “You have no idea how long I've waited to hear those words.”

 

InuYasha placed a clawed hand on top of her head and soothed her into a soft whimper. When it seemed that her cries had stilled InuYasha lifted her chin gently with one hand as the other made soft, soothing circles on her back. “I'm sorry it took so long for you to hear them. I was an asshole in my youth….more so then now.”

 

Kagome smiled lightly and nodded in agreement. “I wonder why I ever took off the beads of subjugation.”

 

“Didn't you say something along the ways as that `my mate should have total control and not my best friend'?”

 

Kagome laughed, some warmth returning to her face, “Yes, I believe it was along those lines, not exactly, but close enough anyway.”

 

Kagome stood up and whipped the tear trails from her face and then whipped her hands on her pants. “We have other matters to talk about now.”

 

“What would those be?”

 

Kagome sat down in font of InuYasha on the floor where he began to play with her hair. “I have a feeling that our arrival came as a bit of a shock to the household. Not to mention I'm predictable to arrive early, Sesshomaru should know me by now, and if he had planned it then I'm sure that said jerk would have been here to receive myself and my company.”

 

“I was surprised by your sudden visit as well. I know you too well, you wouldn't have come if you weren't asked- or told in Sesshomaru's case- to come.”

 

Kagome nodded. “Also, we were ambushed when we arrived; if Tsuzuki hadn't shone up I would have had to kick some very young guard asses.”

 

“How did you find your way to the back entrance though? Not many know that way.”

 

“Yura showed us, the blue haired demon, he said that Sesshomaru was expecting us.”

 

“No one like that works for Sesshomaru, trust me, I do all the interviews for his servants or help of any kind.”

 

Kagome turned from her spot on the floor to look at InuYasha. “Then…..something is going on, Hiei and I had a hunch, but we wanted to make sure before asking or saying anything about it.”

 

InuYasha stood and offered Kagome a hand. “We have to get into touch with Sesshomaru as soon as we can, the ball isn't too far off, and it's not unlikely that someone is going to try something.”

Yuusuke and Kuwabara looked around their room, it was very spacious, two queen, four poster beds on opposite walls, matching dressers, and a bathroom to themselves. The room held deep, rich colors. Midnight Blue with royal blue accents went well with the deep cherry wood furniture.

 

Kuwabara ran and belly flopped onto one of the beds, while Yuusuke placed his bag onto his own before walking around the room. Stepping up to double doors that seemed to lead to a balcony Yuusuke placed a hand on each handle and pushed open. Instead of seeing the dismal land that he has seen so many times, he was greeted with lush gardens, tall trees, and amazingly green grass. It was a sight he thought he would never see, it was so beautiful.

 

“Could this be part of the demon kings power?” Yuusuke spoke more to himself then anyone whom could hear.

 

“What did you say?”

 

“Nothing Kuwabara. Just……continue playing or something.” Yuusuke looked over his shoulder at Kuwabara jumping on the overly large bed. “I hope you fall off that thing and knock some sense into you!”

 

Just about that time something flew though the window and hit Yuusuke in the side of his head, successfully knocking him to the hard wood floor.

222222222

 

Kurama looked about his large room, one bed, four poster as he was sure all of them were, dark cherry wood furniture, a fire place.

 

About the time he was about to continue his little tour something crashed though his balcony doors. “What on earth?”

 

Rushing over Kurama picked up the strange item and looked at it intensely, after a few moments his eyes widened.

222222222

 

Kagome accepted InuYasha's hand and they were reaching the door when Yuusuke and Kuwabara came rushing though them, successfully knocking them both against the wall.

 

“What's wrong guys?”

 

Kagome and InuYasha looked at each other then back to the slightly panting males.

 

“Kagome, this hit Yuusuke on the head.” Kuwabara held out a small silver box and an un-folded note taking them from him Kagome looked intently at the strange item be fore looking back and the panting duo, completely confused.

 

“Guys….I don't know what this-”

 

“Kagome!”

 

The voice that cut Kagome off was Kurama's; he came running into the den and held something out to her. It was a silver handled brush with yet another un-folded note.

 

“Another one? Just what the hell is going on?”

 

InuYasha looked from the faces of each male to the strange items. “Let's go to the study.”

 

“Wait, I need to get Hiei first.”

 

“Kagome it would probably be safer if one of those three went to get him, these items were handed to you and we don't know what the notes say just yet. Please let someone else get him.”

 

“But-”

 

“I'll get him. With out practiced telepathy it won't take long. Please listen to him for now Kagome.”

 

Kagome looked at Kurama for a moment before nodding finally. “Fine. But please be quick about it.”

222222222

 

Hiei looked down at the broken silver mirror that just crashed though the window, a note was securely tied to the handle. He reached down and plucked it from its resting place on the floor. The metal was cool in his heated hand as he thumbed the back feeling the smooth bumps making the design.

 

#Hiei, we need you to come to the study, something has happened. It seems to revolve around Kagome.#

 

/I'm on my way./

 

Hiei held the mirror firmly in one hand as he made his way down the hall to the study from earlier, the note still un-touched.

A/N: So I got on a roll and got out another chapter quickly. I'm trying to only write about 2 pages a day and if I get to a good stopping point after the second or third day then I'll go ahead and post short chapters. Their better then no chapters at all right?

 

The scene with InuYasha was playing in my head last night as I was getting ready for bed, so I got on and I wrote most of that last night, and finished it today.

 

Just what does the note say, and who sent it?

 

Find out next time!

 

And comments would be lovely!!!
