Once upon a time there was a reserved, alluring, platinum haired prince. Women swooned with desire when he glanced at them with his aurous golden eyes. Men would turn into cowards once they encountered his masculine form. His intelligence was beyond comprehension by even the wisest of men. There was no other creature that could compare to him. No other except his father; a great demon lord.
His entire life had been spent walking in his father's large, looming inu shadow. His sharp ears could not hear the praise from others and his father had refused to give him any. So in his mind no matter how hard he trained or studied it was simply not good enough.
Then one night after many years of internal battle he came to a conclusion. The only way to prove to his father that he was worthy to be the western lord's son was to defeat him in a fight. Holding his head high he walked up to his father whom was staring out at the ocean seemingly lost in thought and challenged the older demon.
"No." his father bit out coldly; not even turning to face his son.
"Fight me." The prince growled raising his sword ready to strike.
Still his father did not even spare a glance at his son.
"You would strike me down while my back is turned?"
The prince snarled at his father's words throwing down his sword.
"I will be greater than you someday!" He barked before walking away.
"Indeed." His father whispered softly into the salty air.
Their relationship was never the same after that time. The prince and his father did not speak again on the matter, but the prince was not going to forget. He was determined to prove to everyone and his father that he was more than just the western lord's son.
Golden eyes searched for many years through countless scrolls, legends and myths in order to find a way to complete this almost impossible mission. Then one day he happened upon an old scroll that spoke of a time portal that would lead him to a different era. At this time a great evil was sweeping through the lands creating chaos and despair for many.
The prince tapped a well manicured claw to his plump lower lip as he contemplated going to the past. He was aware that if he made too many changes that he may cease to even exist, but the idea of becoming a greater legend than even his father was too much for him to pass up. The screech of his tires peeling out of the drive was the only note he had left for his father.
Once there was an ordinary high school girl that lived at a shrine. Her long lustrous midnight hair would sway whenever she would walk creating envy from most of her friends. Her face was perfection with a pert nose, lush pink lips and twinkling starlit eyes. She was a natural born archer able to hit the mark from the time that she was a young child. Everyone wanted to spend time with her, but even when she was surrounded by many she only felt loneliness.
When she was a child her grandmother would tell her wild tales about her mother. Her tales spoke of magic, demons, mikos, princes and the ability for good to win out of evil. It was not till she became a teenager that she stopped believing. She had seen peers beaten by bullies, but no magic had shielded them from their attackers. She had watched girls be cheated on by their perfect princes. She had been ruthlessly stabbed in the back by girls that she had thought were friends. Demons destroyed others with words instead of weapons or abilities. In her mind evil barely lost, because evil never fought fair. So unlike her mother who wanted to save the world and all the people in it she would just turn a blind eye.
The prince's heart beat wildly in excitement as he stared up the stairs to the shrine. His form blurred only a second before reaching the top. Honey colored eyes scanned the shrine for any potential threats that would delay him. His brow rose slightly when he noticed a beautiful uniformed girl napping beneath the god tree of legend.
He tilted his head causing his long silky bangs to slide in front of his eyes. He waited for her powers to alert the girl of the danger only a few feet away. The moments turned to minutes as he watched the wind toss her long obsidian hair. The only movements were a twitch of her nose and mumble of incoherent words that fell from her dreams. He smirked deciding she would be no hindrance.
His mind returned to the reason why he was there when he felt a rush of raw cold power from the old well house. He licked his lips ready to have a taste of true adventure for the first time. His father had always sheltered him from wars when he was a youth and by the time that he was mature enough to fight no enemies except mankind had been left for him to battle.
His well built form seemed to glide through the doorway of the well house and up to the lip of the well. The magic was beginning to pulse as if breathing in his scent. His knee was already on the lip when a voice called out to him from behind.
"Who are you?" A feminine voice asked nearly causing him to fall in.
He spun around to find that the once slumbering female was now awake and currently aiming an arrow at his chest. His brow knitted in confusion as to how she could have moved so fast and without him even noticing. His father would have found his situation entirely too amusing. He, however; did not.
He quickly replaced his shocked face with one of arrogance.
"Who I am does not concern you. I merely need to use your portal."
She lowered her bow slightly. "Portal; what are you talking about?"
His face almost slipped to confusion at her words.
"Can you not feel the magic? Are you not a miko?" he asked
The girl laughed dropping the bow the ground.
"The only thing that I feel is tired from a long week of tests. As for me being a miko; well you must have been talking to my crazy grandma. I hate to tell you this, but fairytales are not real."
His golden eyes twinkled in amusement at the girls words
"Then why were you aiming your bow at my heart?"
"A girl has to protect herself. I mean you could be a rapist, murderer or thief." She replied.
"Hnn, yes that is true, but do I look like any of those things?" He asked moving to sit on the lip.
She raised a brow to his words and moved closer to him and the old well lip.
"Ever heard that the devil is a blond haired girl with a sweet smile?"
He scratched his nose in thought. "I assure you he is not."
She was about to ask how he would know such a thing when the air in the well house began to swirl around them. "Do you still not feel anything?" he asked.
"Wha…What is this?" She asked grabbing hold of his arm as an anchor.
The prince ignored her question as he felt a vacuum starting to drag both of them into the well. The girl began to scream and he tried to pull out the vortex to get the girl to safety. His claws piercing deep into the splintering wood, but before long the battle was lost.
The well house had once again fallen silent to the world. The icy blue magic had disappeared with the prince and girl. The only clue that either had been there was a discarded bow and a broken claw embedded into the old well wood.
Meanwhile in another time; in a heap at the bottom of the well two beings were trying to untangle their limbs. The girl's mind was still whirling from the tornado ride she had just experienced. The prince was merely staring at his finger watching as his claw regenerated. He looked to the girl when he heard a gasp and realized that she had also been watching.
"Pfft, I assure you that I am not the devil, but I am a demon." He laughed as she scooted away in fear.
It was late in the evening when Kagome finally returned home from work. She kicked off her shoes and dropped her jacket along with her purse onto the couch. Her senses tingled in the darkness informing her that something was wrong.
"Takara." She called out into the silent house.
She bit her lip as a familiar magic hugged her like an old friend. Her blues eyes popped as her mind registered where this magic was coming from. She hastily flew out the door and ran to the well house to see if her fear was correct.
Kagome's lip trembled as she picked up the abandoned bow lying in the doorway. She could feel a mischievously tug at her from the well causing her to catch sight of the bloody claw.
"A demon was here?" she questioned the air around her.
Once Kagome was finally able to pull the claw from the splintering wood she noticed that this was no small demon. She clicked her tongue recalling that a sports car had been parked at the bottom of the shrine stairs. She decided to investigate a little more before just leaping into a situation on the other side.
Lucky for Kagome the car had been left unlocked and even had a cell phone in the glove compartment. There were only a few names, but one had been 'father'. She stared at the number giving her bangs a small puff before trying to think of how she would tell a demon father that his child had been sucked back in time. She took a deep breath of courage before she hit the button.
"Akihiko, I am busy." A cold voice that answered said.
"Umm…Akihiko, no…no…this is not him. I umm…need."
"Speak!" The voice barked loudly in her ear.
",butIwillgethimbackbye."
Translation: Akihiko or whoever has been sent to the past, but I will get him back; bye
Kagome's heart was beating a mile a minute as she stared at the phone waiting for the man to call back. Her nerves finally calmed when the call did not come. "Well, that went less than smooth on my part."
Kagome hurried around her house changing clothes and tossing supplies into an old backpack. Her mind kept racing with scenarios about what could happen on the other side. Finally, she was ready to face the past that she had avoided since Naraku's destruction.
Kagome stood at the well just about to throw her leg over when she was violently ripped away. She whipped her head up to face her assailant. Moonlight cascaded in through the well doorway illuminating his silvery strands, but it was the red angry eyes that gave him away.
"Sesshomaru?" She asked to make sure that her eyes were not lying.
A/N: It has been long time since a attempted to write anything for Sess/Kag. I have been a asleep for a very long time, literally. I don't know if this is any good or not, but I will try.
