The New Student

"So where are we going? We're heading... never mind I get it now. Sorry for not thinking before I spoke."

"Hn."

I glanced sideways. "Is that the only response you know to words? I wasn't expecting one you know, and that it wasn't supposed to be answered. It was rhetorical ya' know. And I was going to ask where we were heading but as we were heading west, I understand that we are heading to your domain. I'm tired and I need to rest soon. I also need to train a bit, and find a katana. And soon."

"You know your way around a blade? I would train with you if I knew your potential, but I have a feeling that it is limited."

"I have trained under a samurai, and know the fine art of the blade, but I don't rely on just that. You can't beat someone who knows martial arts to the point of mastery with just the art of a blade. The blade restricts your limits, even if you surpass the master who taught you. I rely on martial arts, and the art of a blade comes second, because you can lose the tool you use, but not your body, even if a part has been lost, unless you are dead."

"You are wise for one who is so young. I'm impressed."

"I learned a lot off of Kill Bill. That movie had a woman, who was almost assassinated by a child assassin who killed at the age of eleven, and she trained to kill her, after she herself was an assassin of Bill, with several masters. One master was a martial art master who she couldn't land a blow on even with a katana, so she trained with him to become stronger and, as the title says, kill Bill. That is were I learned that the body is a more powerful tool than that of an external weapon."

"Hn. I would have thought you would be harmless. I was wrong."

"Maybe, maybe not. I learned a lot from the movie, but I rely on what my masters told me more. I wish to beat the strongest warriors so that I can increase my own potential. I don't kill unless necessary, but I can if I so chose to. I wish to become stronger so I can protect what is dear to me, nothing else. I also wish to be a gentile warrior so none will have to fear me. I do not wish to induce fear. I want a family to protect, not some worthless item. I... I wan- no, need to love and be loved, hopefully by someone stronger or as strong as me. It's very complicated. At first I wanted to become a manga-ka so I can express myself in my stories, but that changed when I started my training. I became a nignen-yokai. It... it was a painful change, but I adapted and-and that is why I chose to come to this country. I come from a place that probably hasn't even been discovered yet, and that place held no interest for me, until I was away. I- I found someone to care for there, after I came here. That was part of the change."

~~Third person POV (TP-POV)~~

Sesshomaru glanced at the strange being beside him. 'Nignen-yokai? I have heard of no such thing. Is she lying? I believe not. I have the feeling that there is something that she is hiding.'

"Onna. Where is this place that is not found yet? And if you actually come from there, how is it you came here?"

"I have no idea what time it is, ya' know, year? I come from the time 2011. Well, at least in the current calender. I think the Jewish calender is roughly 4000, and that hasn't changed for a time, even they go by universal time, the Georgian calender, made roughly in 1800's, so dating on anything is slightly off, you know, artifacts? I don't know what calendar is used here, but I am pretty sure that its close enough... Though, most people go by Catholic calendars. Or a calendar of a similar religion."

"Your knowledge exceeds some of those schooled here. I can say..."

~~BREAK~~

Kagome went down the well two days ago, to learn that Alex had gone down the well after her, and Inuyasha scented Sesshomaru near by the well. 'This is bad, did she get killed- no Inuyasha didn't smell blood near the well, village, or his forest. I have a foreboding feeling that she didn't get killed, instead she either got kidnapped, or Rin wanted a momma so he let her follow. She told me she couldn't say no to kids, or she got attacked, or Naraku decided that he could use her to lure us out to him. That seems like a likely possibility, seeing as how she was dressed in the same sailor fuku as I. I just hope she's alright.'

Inuyasha yelling snapped her out of her thoughts. "WHAT THE FUCK? WHY DO YOU LET THE WEIRD KID FOLLOW YOU? SESSHOMARU ANSWER ME!"

"I will not answer such indignities from your vile mouth, half-breed!"

"Fluffy-sama? Who's he? I only met him staring at me the first time I awoke, and he had a camera with him! Let me fight him! I'll hurt him, cuz I don't let people get away with insulting my person!"

"Hn," was all Sesshomaru said, and with a small nod, Kagome noticed that she wasn't standing where she was supposed to be, but right behind Inuyasha. "OI, YOU WITH THE FACE! YEAH, YOU! I HAVE A SERIOUS BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!"

Suddenly he was no longer standing, but sprawled on his back, with a deadly point at his neck. She was so sudden, her brown, shoulder-length thick hair splayed behind her, her glasses glinting in the sun, her manly build rippling with movement. With the kunai pointed at InuYasha's throat, Alex looked up with her boy/girl face and said, "Can I? Please? Lemme-"

"No. He is mine."

"Some spilt blood then?"

With an affirmative nod, she cut his cheek and lapped up the blood. Liking her lips, she looked at Kagome and said, "See you later Kagome-chan. Just don't bring dog-boy around, or he's not going to be walking anymore. Sesshomaru-sama said his life, not his legs."

And with that, she walked away.

~~BREAK~~

"Ku ku ku ku... She could be a powerful tool...," ,Naraku said as he waved Kanna away. "The only thing is... how do I get her to join me? She travels with that miserable dog. This can't be good... or is it? Hmmmm..."

~~BREAK~~

"The nerve of that kid! She'll get it when she's least expecting-"

"Inuyasha!"

"NOOO~ please Kagome.. don't-"

"OSWARI! BAD BOY!"

Kagome wondered about Alex. Was she okay? Why was she travelling with Sesshomaru? How'd they meet for that matter? Has she been abducted? Was that- no, Naraku wouldn't of let Inuyasha live. But... she did wear the same sailor fuku that she did... though Jaken would've had a fit. What was she doing right now...?

~~BREAK~~

"AH-CHOO! Is Kagome-chan talking about me? Or thinking?"

"You don't know- ah-choo! Hn. Maybe, but we can't know for sure. Why did you call me 'Fluffy-sama? I should kill you for that."

"I wanted to piss off dog-boy. Remember why I slapped you? He insulted me, for no other reason than that I'm supposedly human and weird. It hurt, so I hurt him. Simple."

"I see."

Turning and walking away, Sesshomaru thought, 'Why ask to kill him? Was it so she could stay with me? She certainly is what she calls "weird".'

After hearing her follow him, he moved on. On to the Western Palace.

~~BREAK~~

"Kagome? Who was that girl dressed like you?"

"She's a foreign exchange student. I don't know how... but she can go through the well. Uncle said that she was..'special'. He wanted her to come to train in the kendo class. He-he said that she was going to do great things... hrmmm, I think he knew more than he let on."

"I'll say,",Inuyasha piped up, ",he smelt like a HUMAN Sesshomaru. I wonder... Is he your uncle in the future? If so, then he knew this was going to happen... and who was his wife? I asked, and he said she came from-"

"Inuyasha? Do you think-"

"That that girl was the girl who came from the exchange programme? Maybe..."

A shocked look went throughout the group. Sesshomaru falling in love with a HUMAN? Impossible. But she acted and looked anything but normal. How would she hook his heart? If she was to be his mate, then she'd be good to fight, look good, and act like a proper lady. But she acted like a man, they didn't know much about her strength in a fight, and she wasn't all that feminine. But who knew what went into the mind of said daiyokai?

"Maybe its the way she thinks.",volunteered Miroku.

"Who knows? He's an iceprick, with an icicle stuck up his ass. He probably doesn't even reply to her except 'Hn.'.", Inuyasha scoffed.

"I don't think so..."

"Kagome? What is it?"

"Oh! Sango, let's take a bath!"

"Okay...?"

After getting her bathing supplies, they went to a nearby hot spring and started to talk. "Sango, what do you think?"

"I think from what you said about her, she'd fit perfectly with him. She'd defiantly would keep him on his toes, why?"

"I think that he opened up to her more than we think She got more of an answer than we have over a good period of time. He was by the well, so he knows, but, don't start! I don't think he wanted to use it against us, just to understand. But I think he wanted answers so he was waiting for one of us to come by, but we had already left. You know how fast Inuyasha can be if I'm late on finding shards. I think she cut his ego as well as his face, but that was for taking pictures of her while she was asleep. I can't blame her for that. I wonder if she would travel with us, seeing as how she is training. I just don't know anymore..."

"I get it too. I felt the same way, but didn't trust my mouth around InuYasha. He CAN be egotistical at times. I also wanted to say something to you but all I could think of was a bath, but I knew InuYasha wouldn't think of anything suspicious with you saying so."

Both girls were silent for a minuet before busting out laughing. "What's so funny? WAIT- SESSHOMARU, DON'T COME HERE!"

"Why? I didn't sense any- uh- yes your right..."

"Say it!"

"Again..."

"Hi Kagome-chan. Who's this? I saw her before, but name exchanging wasn't on my mind at the moment, and quit looking at me like that! The threat applied to dog-boy! And Sesshomaru, quit cowering, we had one battle, and if I didn't mess up, then I wouldn't have won!"

"Wait- you BEAT Sesshomaru, great Lord of the Western Lands? Awesome!"

"Yeppers! Maybe we can spar sometime, after a the bath!"

"No way, I'd lose. I'm nowhere NEAR your standard. If you can beat Sesshomaru, then I'm toast,", lamented Sango.

"Hmmm, I'll train you two! YAYS! We're going to be BFF's!"

With that she jumped into the water, sometime during the conversation she undressed.

~~BREAK~~

"He he he... Maybe we'll have fun once that haynou is out of the picture. Naraku will be finished by yours and Kagome's hands together..."

~~A/N~~

EG484: I have started re-editing this story, but I am only fixing grammatical errors and certain time lapses. I am also removing my "overly bouncy" A/Ns so bear with me here. Though I am also working on a one-shot and another FanFic (IY xovered with resident evil... +evil laugh+) so my timing with updates might be limited, and this will be once we get internet again... sigh... And for my other fanfic, it will be under another name, so I'll keep you posted when that will happen, just check out my profile for more details. Arigato for reading thus far.

DiSCLAiMER: I do not own Inuyasha. I forgot this in the first chapter, so don't sue. I promise this; I will remember in the future to do the disclaimer. Thank you for reading this if you haven't gotten bored yet.
