A/N: Hello guys! This is my second InuYasha fic. This fic will be mostly centered on a SesshoumaruxOC pairing. Sadly, I don't own InuYasha.
Chapter 1: First Meeting
Kagome Higurashi was staying in the Feudal Era and her cousin, Yuuna, didn't know this.
So when she visited the shrine, Kagome wasn't there.
"Auntie, when Kagome arrives please tell her that I visited. Thank you for accommodating me. I'll be taking my leave now but first I'll pay my respects to the shrine." Yuuna said with a bow.
Mrs. Higurashi bowed back. "I won't forget. Oh, by the way, tell Keiji that we miss him, as well as Yukari. Thank you for visiting."
Yuuna just nodded her head before leaving.
Yuuna went to the shrine, paid her respects, and was descending the stairs when she felt a pull coming from the well house.
She went there to investigate instead of going home.
When she opened the door to the well house and went near the well, she was engulfed by a blue light.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was sure that something was not right.
She was in the well and she was sure that this was not the same place that she had been in.
'I'm not in Tokyo. I can feel it. The environment has changed. I can sense it. There's no excessive noise and it's actually peaceful here.' She thought.
She lifted herself out of the well and as of confirming her thoughts.
She saw that the shrine was nowhere to be seen. Instead a vast forest was in its place and there was a nearby village.
She just placed her feet firmly on solid ground when a bear youkai attacked her.
It was so sudden that she didn't realize that there was a barrier protecting her.
The demon, not noticing this, charged for her and was eradicated quickly upon contact.
She was about to fall when she felt someone catch her.
She was able to catch a glimpse of him before she passed out.
Kagome was jerked out of her reverie when she sensed the last jewel shard.
"I can sense the last jewel shard nearby. It's near the Bone-eater's well." She announced and everyone was quick on their feet.
Lord Sesshoumaru, they noticed wasn't there.
They were about a feet away from the hut's door when they saw him carrying a woman.
The woman he held in his arms was unconscious.
Further inspection on her caused Kagome to gasp and run towards them.
"Yuuna! What happened to her?" She inquired frantically.
"She fainted after killing the bear youkai with her barrier." Sesshoumaru quickly explained and brought the girl inside the hut they previously occupied.
The others were still curious about the new comer since Kagome's the only one who knows her.
They were also intrigued by Lord Sesshoumaru's actions since they knew that he hates humans but he was carrying one when they found him.
"Lady Kagome may we ask who she is?" Miroku asked politely.
"Oh, she's my cousin in my father's side. She's Yuuna." Kagome started.
"I wonder how she got here. I can sense the jewel shard. Its close but it's still faint." She added.
"Sorry to interrupt you miko but I think your cousin has the last shard. By the looks of it, she's also a miko." Sesshoumaru observed causing the occupants of the room to stare at him wide-mouthed.
Since Lord Sesshoumaru joined their little group, it was vital for them to listen and cooperate with him.
"I will ask her about it when she wakes up." Kagome decided.
It was a while before Yuuna woke up, feeling tired and still sleepy.
"You're awake." A cold voice greeted her.
"Where am I? If my assumptions are correct, this isn't Tokyo." She blurted.
Sesshoumaru only nodded before exiting the door to notify the others.
"She's awake. Miko, explain everything to her before her curiosity gets the better of her." He deadpanned.
'That was the first time Lord Sesshoumaru showed his concern for a human or maybe he's just curious.' Kagome mused.
"Kagome it's nice to see you. So this is where you've been. This isn't Tokyo am I correct? What is this place then? Who are these people? And why are there…demons?" She interrogated her cousin and it was evident that she wants answers.
Kagome didn't know how to start explaining and she noticed that her cousin was getting impatient by the minute.
She managed to answer her by saying, "This is the Feudal Era. Yes, this is where I've been lately. These are Miroku and Sango while these are Shippou, InuYasha, Kirara, and Lord Sesshoumaru."
Yuuna just nodded then spoke up, "I visited your house, but you're not there so I decided to go home. I paid my respects to the shrine first before leaving. Apparently, I wasn't able to leave after going to the shrine since there was this force pulling me to go to the well house. I did and voila! I'm here."
"What happened when you arrived here?" Sango asked curious about what happened.
"The moment I stepped out of the well, I was attacked by a bear youkai. Before I know it I had set up quite a powerful barrier to protect me. I hadn't expected it to be that strong so that when it came near it was purified and turned to dust. It was a total surprise to me that I wasn't able to control the amount of energy I used for the barrier that I fainted. Before that happened I remembered someone catching me. Then I woke up seeing that person or rather demon." She narrated.
"It seems that you're also a miko Lady Yuuna to be able to possess a Shikon jewel shard." Miroku stated.
"Oh, you mean this pink shard?" Yuuna asked bringing out the shard which was encased in resin and entwined with the necklace she was wearing.
"Yes that one. How come you have it?" InuYasha pointed at the jewel.
"I've had ever since my mother gave it to me. That was before she died." Yuuna said gravely her bangs covering her eyes.
"I'm really sorry. My Mom and I didn't know so we weren't able to pay our respects. I'm really sorry." Kagome apologized.
"You have nothing to apologize for. I had a reason for not telling you guys." Yuuna confided in her cousin.
Silence was among them for a few minutes when Miroku felt he needed to ask her about how she came to be a miko.
"Lady Yuuna how did you learn that you were a miko?" The monk inquired.
Everyone's attention was on her and they noticed that she had this far-away look in her eyes.
"It's true that I am a miko. I found out when I was little due to my archery classes." She began then continued, "My classmates were scared when I shot my arrow because there was a pink light emitting from it. They told my teacher about it and I had to show him. When he saw it, he told me that he'll be talking to me and Father about it."
She stopped briefly and took a deep breath before continuing, "My teacher went home with me. He explained to us what I was. Mother was silent while Father was amazed that I had that ability. When my teacher offered to train me Father was ecstatic. Mother refused at first but when she realized that it can be of some help to me, she agreed only if I would be trained at home. My teacher beamed happily at them and thanked them profusely. He said that it would be an honor teaching me."
Now they understood the situation and decided for her to stay since she can help them defeat Naraku.
It was now their turn to explain things to her.
After both sides knew what they wanted to know, Lord Sesshoumaru told them that they should start searching for the said hanyou so that this could end faster.
A/N: This was quite long. Hope you guys enjoyed it. Please don't forget to review.
