Kagome slowly opened her eyes wondering why she passed out before. Sitting up in her bed Kagome stretched and scratched an itch on her nose.
"Ow!" said Kagome when she accidentally scratched herself. 'Hold on,' she thought. 'Since when do I have such long nails?'
She looked at her nails and just shrugged it off. Maybe her nails grew really fast and she hadn't noticed it before. Kagome got up from her bed and passed by her mirror on the way to her bathroom. Kagome stopped and ran back to her mirror and examined herself. Then she screamed.
Sesshoumaru wanted to cringe, but he didn't. He didn't think that she would scream that loud. He made a mental note to teach her how to mask her emotions. Sakura, Kagome's foster mother, came out of the kitchen looking extremely worried.
"Is she in pain?" she asked.
"No. Kagome-sama just realized her transformation. It might be a bit traumatizing for her at the moment." replied Sesshoumaru calmly even though his ears were ringing.
"Sumimasen Sesshoumaru-sama. I did not think this would be Kagome's reaction."
"MOM!!!" came Kagome's voice followed by running footsteps. "Mom! I have a freakin' tail and I'm about six feet tall!"
Kagome came running down the stairs scared out of her mind. She was trying to read her mom's expression when a fresh scent of pine and water filled her nose.
"Mom, did you get a new pine and water air freshioner?" asked Kagome completely forgetting her worry and not noticing Sesshoumaru.
Sesshoumaru smirked realizing that the young demoness was refering to his scent. He took in her scent of water lilies and sakura blossoms before speaking.
"I did not realize that you enjoyed my scent so much Kagome-sama."
Kagome spun around and came face to face with Sesshoumaru. Her eyes widened in realization when she found the source of the youki she had been feeling lately.
"Mom, what the hell is Sesshoumaru doing in our house? No. What is he doing in our time?"
"Kagome!" scolded Sakura. "You should show respect to Sesshoumaru-sama!"
"Since when do you know Sesshoumaru?" she asked. "Besides he has tried to kill me on more than one occasion."
"Kagome-sama, I understand that you are confused. You have been a ningen for the past eighteen years. I did not realize it was you as a ningen." answered Sesshoumaru.
Kagome was totally lost. "What do you mean? I have been a ningen since I was born."
"Kagome," began Sakura, " you came from the Feudal Era when you were a year old. When you go back tonight, the well will close permanently."
"Then I'm not leaving." said Kagome stubbornly.
"You do not have a choice Kagome-sama," said Sesshoumaru coldly.
"You can't tell me what to do!" shouted Kagome. "And why do you keep calling me Kagome-sama? I'm not royalty."
"But you are. You are the only heir to the Eastern Lands that are currently being ruled by your Uncle, Kumo-sama."
Kagome blinked many times before she sat down thinking she might pass out from any more shocking information. For an hour everything was explained to Kagome. She was sent down the well by a trusted miko her parents knew. This was done because many youkai, hanyou, and ningen had tried to kidnap or kill her because of her powerful bloodline. Her mother was a miko inuyoukai and her father was a rare black inuyoukai. She had inheirited her mother's miko powers and her father's black inuyoukai blood. It was said that she was killed along with the Royal family.
"Only recently were you recognized as the rightful heir after that battle with Naraku happened." finished Seshoumaru.
'I'm actually having a normal conversation with Sesshoumaru,' thought Kagome. "But that still doesn't explain how you could travel here and how could you have known that it was me."
"Your uncle recognized your scent on this Sesshoumaru when we had our monthly meeting. Travelling down the well wasn't so hard once this Sesshoumaru located the miko who sent you down in the first place." said Sesshoumaru as if it was the easiest thing to figure out. "However she returned to her village when I jumped down saying that she will die when I come back through the well as it was her last ounce of power."
Kagome nodded understanding everything that was said to her.
"We must leave Kagome-sama, my baka brother will be back in the morning and we cannot let him find out about you at the moment."
"Kagome I packed some things that you might need in the feudal era." said Sakura slowly tearing up while handing Kagome her large yellow knapsack.
"Mom, I'll visit you if I live after 500 years." cryed Kagome hugging her foster mom and then followed Sesshoumaru into the well house at top speed.
'I could get used to this,' thought Kagome.
"Kagome-sama, concentrate on an image of you being hidden so that you can mask your scent," said Sesshoumaru. "This Sesshoumaru does not want that baka hanyou noticing you returned."
"Yes Sesshoumaru-sama." said Kagome while concentrating her powers and masking her scent quite quickly.
Sesshoumaru's eyebrow rose in confusion while his mask stayed in place.
"Since when do you call this Sesshoumaru with respect?" he asked.
"Since we became allies," answered Kagome motioning for him to jump down first. " I don't want to be rude since we'll probably be seeing each other often."
Sesshoumaru nodded and gracefully jumped down the well. Kagome quietly said goodbye to the place she had come to call home and just as gracefully jumped down the well.
Hope you liked it!! I like constructive critisism and I welcome any ideas you may have.
