Why hello to all of you!! :D It is my pleasure to present to you my first Inuyasha fanfiction. Now I got the inspiration for this fic a while back, but I only got around to actually starting this work of art only recently and I got this completed in about 3 days. I hope you enjoy!!!
Disclaimer: I may not own Inuyasha, but I do however own volume 12 of the ani-manga!!! Does that count? :D
The overhead sun was blazing, taking out its heated fury on the landscape below as if it was a kind of reprisal for some aforementioned act. This kind of heat was unusual in the spring. Usually, it was cool and breezy, but not today apparently. It really was a pity that you couldn't choose the weather. This heat wave was totally unnecessary.
A young woman of about 20 with long wavy raven hair and sapphire blue eyes, stopped her sweeping of the fallen leaves in her yard and squinted up at the sun with something akin to frustration. Damn, it was hot!! She glared up at the big ball of fire known as the sun and stomped her foot down on the ground in agitation. Reaching into her pocket to find her purple hair tie, she pulled her dark silken locks up into a high ponytail and brushed her bangs up off of her sweaty forehead. She could feel the sweat trickling down her white tank top, creating a small spot of moisture in the middle of her ample bosom. This was so not the best weather for spring cleaning. It felt more like summer punishment or that she was stranded in the Sahara.
She had been cleaning from the early morning and if she had to bend or stretch anymore, she thinks that she might just pop something. All this strain on her muscles was taking a toll on her. When she was finished, she was so going to reward herself with a nice hot bath with those lavender and jade scented bath crystals she bought sometime back in the mall. Yup, she was going to have a nice long uninterrupted soak. Just thinking about it already gave her a renewed burst of energy. She hoped that her family didn't get the same idea and use up the hot water.
Her mom was out doing some grocery shopping, Souta was inside dusting the living room and Grandpa was…Come to think of it, where was her Grandfather. He said he was going to do some cleaning out in the back but Kagome had seen neither hide nor tail of him after that. Knowing that man, he could be doing just about anything right now. She glanced around, but could see no trace of him.
That was odd. Now where could he be? She walked around to the back, her sandals making clip clop sounds as she moved briskly. Walking through the yard, a loud snoring noise greeted her ears as she neared the shed. Bingo!! There was only one person she knew who snored like that, trust her Jii-chan to slack off on a hot day like this. His snore could wake the dead.
Her choice of action at this time? The element of surprise, ignorance or waking him politely. Hmm – decisions, decisions. What to do? She never did take kindly to those who slacked off. Oh well, time's a wasting and she was a bit bored...
"!!!!" yelled Kagome at the top of her lungs as she pushed open the wooden door and shocked the living daylights out of her slumbering grandfather. He sputtered from the initial shock and then tumbled out of the chair to fall on his side with a loud thud.
"Oh, Kagome my dear, so lovely to see you!! I was just cleaning the –"
"Save it mister, I don't wanna hear your excuses" she said sternly, fixing him with a pointed look, "When I come back I want this shed to be in tip top shape! Am I clear?!"
"Yes mam!!!" answered her grandfather with a salute and standing to attention as if he were in the army.
"Good, now back to work!!"
She spun on her heel and marched out the door but just as her grandfather was about to tip toe back to the chair and get his snooze on once again she yelled out, "No sleeping, or else!!!" He groaned, muttered a few choice words and started cleaning like a madman. That woman could be a real slave driver when she wanted to. It was best not to get on her bad side.
Kagome smirked. Who said a little tough love never worked? Giggling to herself she made her way to the well house, that place hadn't been cleaned in forever. She might as well start getting to work on it now.
As soon as she pushed open the door she was met with a gust of humid air. Coughing to clear her throat, she looked around curiously. When was the last time she was in this place? It was completely filthy and dusty. There were spider webs everywhere. This was going to take a whole lot of work, but being in this place brought back a lot of memories. Kagome let out a melancholic sigh, but those times were all in the past now. She had closed that chapter in her book of life already. There was no going back. She made sure of it.
She sauntered around the well absent mindedly whilst running her finger along the ledge of the well, leaving a trail in the dust, humming to herself softly when something silvery caught her eye. She paused and backtracked a bit.
She peered down into the dark and damp pit of the ancient well and the sight that met her eyes made her blood run ice cold. She blinked thrice in shock.
…Oh…My…Kami…
There was something down there. But, what? It looked like something wrapped up in silken thread. But, who in their right mind would put anything down there? When was it placed down there? How did it even get in? It was all too suspicious. She knew of nothing that her family owned that fit the description of whatever she was staring at. No one had been in here for months. The place wasn't even inhabited. She needed to climb down and find out exactly what was down there, then move it. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too much of a hassle. Then again, knowing her history and how she seemed to have the worst of luck at times, she could never be too careful.
Gathering her nerves, she took a deep breath, gripped the sides of the wooden ladder and steadily made her descent into her formal portal into the feudal past. A soft thud was made as hopped off the last step and unto the ground. She took a few nervous steps until she was about a good 5 inches away from her current source of interest. Her eyes could now clearly decipher whatever the hell was in front of her. Kagome then realized that she was now face to face with quite a mystery, amongst other things…
On closer inspection she realized three very important facts:
What she believed was silken thread, was actually silver hair
That silver hair was connected to a well toned and sturdy body
That well toned and sturdy body was completely bare and devoid of any trace of clothing
That body looked an awful lot like a certain daiyoukai from the feudal era, with markings in similar places
These facts were way too much for her. She felt a major headache coming on. No, maybe she was trying too hard to place a name to the figure before her. She was just over thinking things as usual, right? But, the person had the purple crescent moon on his forehead and those magenta stripes on his cheeks and limbs. It had to be him. There was no other explanation. Well, there wasn't an explanation as to how he even got here in the first place either.
Who could coincidentally have the same exact markings as him and a missing left arm. Yup, coincidences weren't going to help right now anyways. Kagome had a serious problem on her hands. So how exactly did she deal with this now?
Her heart began clamouring loudly in her chest. She could not believe her eyes. This was way too surreal for her tastes. It was unexpected -- Hell, it was damn near impossible. There was noooooooooooooooooooooooo way that it could be HIM. Of the all the people that could be able to cross the well and arrive in her time, how was he able to even enter that list. She was only aware of Inuyasha being able to travel through the well, but his evil half-brother Sesshomaru as well? Maybe it had something do with their blood? No way!!
It just could not happen. She made sure of it. She sealed that well better than anyone else, like Kaede or even Kikyo, could have done. So…Why? Why after all this time would he show up at the bottom of the well, in the future? Besides, even if he was here, was he even alive?
Just to make sure she wasn't going delusional and needed to see a psychologist (again), she nudged his backside with her foot eliciting a soft groan from the demon lord. On the bright side, at least he wasn't dead but alive and… nude. Was that really a good thing though? She really wasn't up to dealing with a nude grumpy daiyoukai who may go on a freaking rampage as soon as he awakes in unfamiliar territory. Err…Come to think of it…
Wait…Wait…WAIT…Hold the phone!!! Nude?!!!!
Now her eyes must really be defective!! She stepped just a tad bit closer to the slumbering silver haired demon to confirm that yes, he was in fact, very very very naked. Fortunately, his hair covered most of his man parts. However, she was still able to note the intricately defined contours of his abs and his toned limbs. She always knew that Sesshomaru most likely had the body of a god underneath all those clothes but this was overwhelming. She never really expected to see it. If wasn't careful, she'd start drooling from ogling him too long. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts, bad thoughts!!! She needed to shield her virgin eyes from this kind of display of the human (or demon) anatomy.
Kagome gulped audibly. This day was not going to end smoothly at all. Why did all the crazy unpredictable bizarre events happen to her? Ever since she travelled back in time her life has never been normal again. What did she ever do to deserve this kind of punishment? She was a good person now, or at least she tried to be. Maybe she was an evil maniacal witch in her past life…No wait hold up, wasn't she Kikyo's reincarnation? Uh, well that answers that question, back to the predicament at hand…
Moving Sesshomaru would be quite an issue, seeing as:
He's naked
She's not sure how he'd react to a human -- namely her, in this case -- touching him
She was not prepared for this…at all
He was seriously moody
She wasn't sure if his body wasn't rigged
Did she mention before that he was NAKED?!!!
Ok, time to calm down. This was all just a big misunderstanding that could be sorted out very soon and she could send Sesshomaru back on his merry (or broody) way as soon as possible. Yes, that sounded about right. Now all she needed to do was move him…which was easier said than done. Dear Kami up above, please help her.
…Breathe in…Breathe out…Breathe in…Breathe out…
She knelt down on the ground beside him slowly and was about to reach out and touch him when a hand shot out and stilled her wrist in midair. The next thing she knew was that she was staring into two very annoyed and alive amber eyes that resembled molten pools of gold.
Oh dear, nice going Kagome, now he was awake and looked about ready to kill. Uhhh, maybe this would be a good enough time to mention that she came in peace and that he was currently trespassing on her property. Then again, he'd probably slash her to threads before she got a chance to open her mouth. Now would be a good time to start praying for her dear life….
Kagome shut her sapphire blue eyes tightly and recited a few mantras whilst waiting for the final blow. Dear Kami, up above…
"Miko," whispered a familiar baritone, "What are you doing?"
…Or maybe not…
And this brings us to the end of this glorious first chappie!!! :D I hope you guys loved it, so send me your feedback!! Comments, critiques etc. are welcomed!!
