Yes perferct, the demon lord, Ichirou, thought.
It would be the best way to bring down his opponent. Lord Sesshomaru. Maybe then he would be able to claim the inuyoukai's lands. He tucked the scroll and placed it on a shelf behind some others. No one would find out about his plans. He told the dark priestess to go find the necessary ingredients for the curse and to report back to him. If she disobeyed him, her life would be forfeit. Ichirou couldn't wait to see Sesshomaru's face as he was weakened and when Ichirou drove his sword, or even better his claws, through the inuyoukai's body. Satisfied with visions of the future, the snake demon fell asleep.
Kagome was about to enter the well house when she heard a voice calling her.
"Hey! Kagome!" her cousin Sayuri shouted from the entrance of the shrine. Now was not the time. Inuyasha would be waiting for her.
"Hello Sayuri, what are you doing here?" she asked.
Sayuri smiled, "I wanted to surprise you. Besides, I felt lonely and needed to see my lively little cousin."
Kagome sighed. She put her arm around her cousin and guided her back into her house. She'd have to postpone her return trip. She just hoped Inuyasha wouldn't get impatient and come through the well. She grinned as her mom greeted Sayuri. They all sat down and got caught up but Kagome was still a little anxious that Inuyasha would appear.
"Something wrong Kagome? Your aura seems a little...well it's churning a bit," Sayuri asked. Kagome's aura also seemed a little stronger since the last time Sayuri saw her, but she just assumed it was growing up. After all, it has been a few years since they've seen each other.
"So how was your trip here?" Kagome's mother asked with a gentle smile.
"It was fine. Although some man got angry when I bumped into him."
"Say-chan-" Kagome started but whatever she was going to say was interrupted by a bright red shape. Oh no. Why? Inuyasha was here. A larger aura floated into the room and Sayuri's head whipped to that direction. It was more powerful than those in the household.
"Who's the wench?" Inuyasha asked. Sayuri scowled at the male newcomer.
"Who taught you manners? A pack of wolves?" Kagome chuckled at the thought of certain wolf-demon teaching Inuyasha manners.
"Keh. Whatever. Let's go Kagome." Inuyasha walked over behind Kagome and placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder.
"Who are you? How do I know you won't hurt my cousin?"
"That's Inuyasha. He's my friends from...well it's a long story."
Sayuri gave a look that clearly said tell-me-I've-got-time. She leaned on her elbows and placed her head on top of her folded hands. The black-haired young woman waited patiently. This caused Kagome to sigh because she knew there was no way out. Sayuri could be surprisingly stubborn for such a serene girl. After the story was finished Sayuri incredulously digested the information. So the new presence in front of her was that of a hanyou. Interesting. It was more powerful than a human's. What would a full demon's feel like? She wished she still had her vision. Sayuri would've liked to have seen the white-hair, dog-eared demon, that Kagome described.
"So you're a hanyou, and you're a miko?" she asked, pointing to each respective person, even though she already knew the answers. "That explains why your auras are different especially yours Inuyasha."
"Let's go Kagome," Inuyasha reminded. This time he started to prod her towards the well house as he ignored her protests. Sayuri looked at what she hoped was the well. Would it be able to let her through? It still let Kagome through even after the Jewel disappeared. But that could be due to the fact that Kagome was the Shikon Miko. That didn't take away from Sayuri's curiosity. She bit her lip as she decided if she should ask her cousin. Such a simple question and I keep hesitating. I'll lose my chance if I don't make up my mind.
"You want to try the well don't you? Souta was the same but he was really disappointed when it didn't work. You can jump down with Inuyasha if you want," Kagome said noticing her relative's reaction.
Inuyasha turned away with his nose up, "keh, I'm not taking any wench with me." "Inuyasha...SIT BOY!" Kagome replied. His subjugation beads glowed and then slammed him to the floor, startling Sayuri. The hanyou made a noise of resignation and jumped down with Sayuri. She half-expected to land at the bottom of the well, but she didn't. She was somewhere warm. Was this the Feudal Era?
"Welcome Sayuri Nakamura," a voice said.
+ Disclaimer: I don't own anything, just Sayuri Nakamura and any other OCs I may add. This will only be on this chapter. AN: Sorry if it seems a little boring. It will get better within the next chapters. I just needed to set the scene like most books. Please give me feedback! I'd like to be able to make this better.
