A Blast From The Past

Reunions

Caitlin and Sesshomaru pulled away. On the other side of the room someone cleared their throat. It was Jaken, Sesshomaru was ready to kill him, and Caitlin was about to stalk over there and kill him before Sesshomaru could.

"Yes?" Sesshomaru asked.

"There are still more documents to be signed." Jaken answered. "It would be horrible if you fell behind in it." Jaken added.

"It can wait." Sesshomaru growled at the small, green imp.

"Can I kill him?" Caitlin asked.

"No, if any one kills him it's gonna be me." Sesshomaru added, Caitlin looked up at him. "What?" he asked.

"So you can kill him and I can't?"

"I never said that you were unable to kill him, I just said I was forbidding you to do it." Sesshomaru said. Caitlin rolled her eyes.

"Well, as long as he ends up dead, I'm happy." On the other side of the room Jaken was looking at the two demons, he was slowly inching his way into the dim hall, so that he could get away.

Caitlin looked over at him. "He's trying to get away, now can you kill him?"

"No, not until he imterupts something important again."

"Damn."

"Master Jaken!" Jaken said, trying to sound like Rin. "Yes Rin?" Jaken called back. "I need you to come help me with something! All right Rin, I'll be right there!" Jaken yelled, Caitlin and Sesshomaru were looking at Jaken like he was nuts. "Gotta go!" Jaken turned and ran down the hall.

"There he goes." Sesshomaru said.

"Good riddance."

"Milord?" a guard asked, Sesshomaru looked over at the guard and Caitlin muttered something under her breath. Sesshomaru thought it sounded something like 'Can we EVER get a god damn moments peace?!'

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked.

"The troops are asking who that is, and why you're...uh...holding her..." the guard answered, Sesshomaru just relized that he was still holding Caitlin in his arms. Sesshomaru didn't answer, instead he just stared blankly at him. "The troops don't think that you should be with any one else after the death of out beloved lady." he added, he was looking at the ground.

"I'm not dead!" Caitlin said. "Okay, I MAY have been dead, but I'm back." Caitlin said, when he looked at Caitlin he gasped.

"Milady!" the guard exclaimed. He went down on one knee and bowed his head. "I didn't recgonize you." he said. Caitlin figured that if she hadn't said anything everyone would have thought that she was a nobody, just there to please Sesshomaru.

"So, what's been goin' on without me?" Caitlin asked.

"Nothing, just signing lots and lots of paper work." Sesshomaru answered.

"Oh good, I haven't missed out on anything."

"Did you really think that we'd do anything entertaining without you?" Sesshomaru asked. Caitlin thought about it a minute.

"Well...no not really, this place is stiff."

Sesshomaru looked at her with a confused look on his face.

"I mean it's by the book, like, how the guards address you, how they act, everything, it's by the book." Caitlin explained.

"So you're saying we're dull?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Yeah pretty much." Caitlin answered.

"Then I take it you're going to liven it up then, so we're not dull?"

"Yeup! Or we could go on vacation and leave everyone here to take care of it." Caitlin suggested, Sesshomaru thought about it a moment.

"A vacation sounds good. Where would we go? They can find me any where." Sesshomaru added.

"Not every where..." Caitlin said with a sly smile. Sesshomaru looked at her. "There's still my time you know."

"True." Sesshomaru said as he comtemplated it. "First though, we've got to have a celebration of your return."

"Can't we skip that and do it when we get back?" Caitlin asked, her eyes were pleading with him, but she knew that he wasn't going to give in. He wasn't THAT soft hearted, he wasn't about to give up his lands traditions.

"No." Caitlin sighed.

"Fine, I guess I'll stay until the party is over." Caitlin muttered, suddenly Sesshomaru scooped her up, startling her for a second. Sesshomaru carried her from the room to their room. "I take it I have to get ready?"

"Yes. You remember how to put a kimono on don't you?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Uh...yeah...I think..." Caitlin answered. She went behind the changing screen and started getting undressed, she knew that she couldn't just step into it like a dress from her time. The light was shining in the windows behind Caitlin, Sesshomaru could clearly see her figure. He looked away, a light pink tint dusted his cheeks.

A few minutes later Caitlin walked out from behind the screen, she was dressed in the kimono, as if she had been dressing in them her whole life.

"I did it!" Caitlin said, a grin spread across her face. "Now, there's one things that questionable," Caitlin said as she turned around "Did I tie my bow right?" she asked as she turned around to try to see it, soon enough she was going in circles.

Sesshomaru walked over and put his hands on her shoulders, she stopped spinning but was still trying to see her bow.

"Yes, it's tied right." Sesshomaru said, just watching her do those circles was getting him sick to his stomach.

"Oh yeah, I have 'bow tieing' skill." Caitlin said.

"You were looking in the mirorrs weren't you?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Uh...I don't know what you're talking about." Caitlin said as she looked away and aroud the room.

"Well come on, it's a small thing." Sesshomaru said, Caitlin nodded, she hadn't even bothered with her hair, and she didn't bother with the make up either, as she ran out the door she threw a heated glare to the make up, thinking of killing it when she got back.

Caitlin was pulled out into the small room where all the people of rank were there. Sesshomaru still hadn't remarked Caitlin so it still wasn't official, but neither of them was going to tell them that.

Erin walked in the doors to Kouga's castle, she didn't know what had went on while she was gone. She walked in the door, but it seemed deserted.

"Who are you?" a familiar voice asked from her left, Erin turned towards it, it was Kouga. "Erin!?" Kouga asked.

"Kouga!" Erin ran over and hugged Kouga, imediatly Kouga's arms wrapped around her. "I've missed you." Erin whispered.

"How'd you get back?" Kouga asked, but before Erin could answer Kouga kissed her. Erin smiled, but caved into it. How long she had wished for this. She was still mated to him, and everyone would know it, after all, if someone walked in the room, they'd see Kouga kissing her like he had never kissed before.

"That was one hell of a hello." Erin said when they parted, Kouga laughed. "Is it safe to answer the question now, or might I be, interupted again?"

"I think you're safe." Kouga answered.

"Well then, Caitlin brought me back, she's here to, well no here here, but with Sesshomaru. That's where I left her to come here." Erin explained.

"Wait, so Caitlin really didn't die?" Kouga asked.

"No, she did. But she was brought back. I don't know how, and neither does she."

"Odd."

"Especially in my time."

"Is her body a sham?"

"No, I would have smelled it."

"Huh, I don't know them, but I'm sure glad she did come back." Kouga said, he hugged Erin close again and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.

Well, it seems that all is well and good.

Yes, but now we must take our price.

I thought we said that there was going to be no price!

It was over ruled by the Grand Counsil.

They don't have a say in this!

Actually, they do, they were the ones who remade her body. We just put her soul in it. In other words, her life is in their hands.

No! I wont allow this! I refuse to allow them to take what they want!

Do you even know what it is that they wish?

No, but I will not allow them to take it, whatever it may be.

It is but something simple, that she will not need.

And just what is that?

We don't know. Or at least we are forbidden to tell, after all, you were not here when they told us. In fact, you have been replaced.

With who?!

They will be here, as soon as you are gone. You are no longer in service to the Time Counsil, you are free to go.

This man reached across the table and touched the woman who was objecting to a price, though she didn't know what it was. The instant he touched her, she was gone. Since she had demanded to know what was forbidden to be told, she would be sent to Earth, to help there. What she did there, they didn't care.

The new woman walked through the door.

Hello, I am...Aetwin.
