Author's note: this is the same story as before. I do believe that I stated the last time that I would be pulling the story to combine chapters and make adjustments as I saw fit. Please enjoy the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters. Ame and her friend Alex belong to my friend and me. Please do not mind the rating it is such for content in later chapters. From here on out there will not be a disclaimer at the head of the chapters, this disclaimer goes for all of the chapters that follow. DO NOT ASSUME THAT THIS IS A SLIGHT TO THE REAL OWNER OF INUYASHA. I simply hate writing the disclaimer on every chapter, so this first one will have to suffice for the following chapters.
"Why can't it stop raining?" cried an exasperated redhead as she slammed her locker closed.
"We haven't had any rain for three months, and when we do finally get it you complain?" asked a blonde girl standing next to her.
"Ya' know what Alex," the redhead turned to face her friend, " This means that I have to stay inside today!"
"Awe…poor Ame." Alex snickered. "Want me to come over?""No. Mom'll probably drown you in tea again." Ame said, "Besides you have something going tonight dontcha?"
"Oh yeah. Have fun all by yourself then." Alex turned to leave, "Check out your attic, maybe you'll find something to inspire your writing."
"Right. All I will find up there will be mothballs and cobwebs."
Alex's laughter followed Ame out into the downpour. As she got closer to home, Ame felt as if she might actually find her muse that afternoon after all.
Sesshomaru was sitting in a tree, casually surveying the area that Rin was currently playing in. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but he still had a feeling that something was going to happen.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Master Jaken has disappeared again." Rin called out.
Sesshomaru barely gave the human girl a glance before he was scooping her up out of the jaws of a worm-like demon. Of course, this lowly demon was no match for the demon lord's poisoned claws and was destroyed in the blink of an eye. Rin was now standing off to the side cheering and clapping ecstatically.
"Rin, Jaken is up in that tree." Sesshomaru pointed to a scraggly looking tree to the left of Rin.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." Rin scampered off to roust Jaken from his hiding place.
Ame had made it home looking every bit the drowned rat. Quickly, she changed into a pair of ripped jeans and a black spaghetti strap tank, and padded barefoot up the stairs to the attic of her two-story home. Once in the dark attic room, Ame was surprised to discover the attic jammed full of boxes and trunks of varying sizes. Silently she made her way through the melee of miscellaneous mountains of stuff to open the singular window.
As the weak light from outside filtered in, it illuminated something in the far corner. If the object had looked like anything else, Ame would not have thought twice about it, but it looked so out of place her curiosity gat to her. As she drew nearer to the object, she was mildly surprised to see it was an ancient samurai suit of armor.
'I wonder what this is doing here. Grandma said all of Nikki's things had been given to a museum.' Ame thought.
Ame looked down at the floor to make sure she would not step on any sharp objects when she saw the paper seals on the floor ringing the suit of armor. She knew Nikki had dabbled in magic, but nothing had ever come from the strange pastime. Hell, she herself had tried some of the strange incantations after having read Nikki's books and diaries.
Completely disregarding the little pieces of paper, Ame entered the circle around the armor and suddenly felt a change in air pressure around her. The seals quickly withered to dust and allowed the armor to glow a light blue. Ame's eyes went round with surprise as she tried to step back.
Sesshomaru felt a sudden change in the air around him. Never had he encountered such a strange air current. Tensely he waited for the oncoming attack.
Ame tentatively grabbed the armor to steady herself as she felt the floor shift beneath her feet. The only problem she was encountering was that the suit was falling taking her with it. She prayed that that armor didn't' break as they crashed into the wall behind it. After a while did she realize that she was still falling, and not hitting anything solid.
'I know my attic isn't this big or this chilly, so what's going on?' Ame thought frantically
