A Random Act of Kindness

…

Kagome felt herself waking up. 'Why is the floor so hard? What the hell is poking me in the back?' She grumbled a bit before sitting up and grabbing a stick that was digging into her side. She finally opened her eyes and wished she hadn't. It all instantly rushed back to her and she gasped silently.

Sesshoumaru was lounging across from her, one leg pulled up in front of him, the other was stretched out. But was caught her eye was the fact that his remaining hand was covering his nose. And the look in his eye was almost painful. 'What?'

Then it hit her, like a ton of bricks. She instantly looked up and noticed that there was a roof above the well. They were at her shrine, in Tokyo Japan. Sesshoumaru was in the Modern era… THE Lord of the Western Lands, killing machine, hater of the human kind…. Was in Tokyo. Where millions of humans roamed the land… Oh my… he was not going to like this. But… why in the hell wasn't she dead already?

"I can explain…"

"Do so. Before I kill you."

Kagome's heart began to race. Had to speak too soon didn't she?

"I live 500 years in the future. A centipede demon dragged me down the well 4 years ago because her evil soul felt the pull of the shikon jewel that was buried in my body. It kinda re-animated her corpse and I ended up in feudal era japan… your time." she took a deep breath and continued. "I don't know how you got through the well with me, but the only other person it will let through, is Inuyasha," she paused "Right now, you're in the future… where there are no demons and only humans. You can't kill anyone! It's not allowed, there are laws here that we all abide by! You can't break them! It's not the same here!" She spoke almost fervently. She couldn't stop the racing of her heart.

What would he do? He had long ago stopped trying to hunt them down and kill them. He wasn't even hostile anymore. Why start now?

"Please don't kill anyone."

"I do not even want to know what I will see."

"There is so much to learn now, Sesshoumaru…"

"Why is it so loud? I cannot smell anything but the most putrid stench."

Kagome grimaced.. Oh right. His senses must have been going insane. Inuyasha freaked out for a moment, but he got use to the smell in a matter or 10 minutes. She guessed it was because of his half human nature. Sesshoumaru on the other hand was a full demon, and therefore his senses were probably more acute and sensitive.

"I can help… if you'll let me."

"What do you wish to do to with this Sesshoumaru?" his tone haughty.

I can put an invisible barrier around your nose and your ears. It will block the smell, and dull the loud activity outside."

He nodded. He didn't even know she was capable of doing that. But he imagined so, by the amount of spiritual energy she killed that Oni with. It was quite impressive. She had always been thrown behind, for Inuyasha to protect. Useless, really. But now, maybe she had trained herself and was an adequate asset to her group.

Kagome sat upright even more, and noticed torn cloth. She looked down and sputtered before realizing that her shirt was still torn open. How could she miss that?! Her arms instantly flew across her chest and a deep blush set across her cheeks. Not even Inuyasha had ever gotten to see that much!

Sesshoumaru inwardly smirked. She was flushed because her attire was torn open. He did get a nice view of her front, but it was nothing that he hadn't seen before. Although, her figure was very appealing, he would admit. He could tell her skin was smoother than anyone's he'd ever touched. She even smelled great. She smelled of natural earth and rain. Right after the sunshine began to dry the earth

"Uh… uhm, lets go inside first. It doesn't smell as bad in there, my house is very clean and fresh."

She sat up and walked to one of the Well's walls. Grabbing a rope with knots trailing down it, she hoisted herself up and began to climb.

"Don't just stand down there! You've had enough to look at already!!" She squeaked embarrassedly.

Why was he letting her talk to him this way? He would have murdered anyone else in the world for the way she spoke to him. Why hadn't he even said anything? What was that wicked Miko doing to him?

He let out a growl and jumped up, grabbing Kagome's hips in the process. She squawked and then struggled before realizing Sesshoumaru was helping her out of the well.

"Why are you being so nice to me? It's weird? Are you even Sesshoumaru?"

"Do not test my patience Miko," he replied stoically and then dropped her. She almost tripped back in the well but he quickly caught her shirt and pulled her back up.

Kagome thanked the heavens that the rest of her shirt didn't rip off. As soon as she opened the door she checked out for any bystanders. When she found none, she began to run.

"Come on! This way, hurry!"

He made it to the door before she did and she almost muttered a few curse words at him. 'Freakin show off.'

She glared at him while she opened the door.

"This is my family. Please don't scare them… And PLEASE don't kill my grandfather.. He's a bit senile."

Kagome walked into the home and yelled. "MOM! I'm home! I really need to talk to you!" She heard feet shuffling upstairs and smiled. She then turn around to find Sesshoumaru taking everything in. He looked… interested. It was quite a change on his features. She slowly took a step forward, and his glance shot towards her.

"Here, let me put those barriers up." She said softly. She took another step, and another and she was soon in front of him. Her small hands lifted to his nose and he discreetly took a whiff of her scent.

Lovely.

Before he even realized it, the strong putrid scent was gone. She was right about her home though, it was dulled upon entering the area. But the scent outside still pierced inside the outer edges of her dwelling.

"Thank you."

"Yeah, of course. Let me get your ears." She was extremely please that Sesshoumaru had said 'thank you' to her. For some reason, it made butterflies float in her stomach. Probably because Inuyasha had barely said it in the past four years. He didn't appreciate anything! Her hands moved to each side of his face, creating barriers. As she was pulling her hand down from his last ear, her pinky finger brushed against his earlobe and she sucked in a bit of breath. She thought he furrowed his eyebrows but when she looked at him, his face was as stoic as ever.

"T-there. All done. How is it?"

"Much better."

"That's good!"

Kagome heard footsteps coming down the stairs and rushed to her mother.

"Mom!"

"Oh Kagome! It's so nice to see you, you've been gone for 3 weeks! Oh.." -stare- "Kagome, what happened to your shirt?" Kagome could see the worry lines in her forehead. She hated o admit it, but they were all probably because of her. Kagome blushed.

"it's nothing mom, just an accident. Let me get changed. There's a guesst standing in the doorway mom. Be nice."

"Oh, of course you silly girl! I'm the nicest woman ever!" Kagome's mom said with a lighthearted laugh.

Right before Kagome ran upstairs, she walked to Sesshoumaru and smiled. "I'll be back." He nodded at her and she retreated upstairs.

Sesshoumaru knew that Kagome's mother was walking towards him.

"Hi there! Oh… you must be one of Kagome's friends? From… the past right? Oh my, you look strangely like Kagome's other friend, Inuyasha!"

Sesshoumaru almost scowled at the human woman. She looked kind, but she compared him to Inuyasha. He should kill her for that..

'You can't kill anyone! It's not allowed!' Kagome's scared voice drifted in his mind and he scoffed. Stupid human girl.

"Yes. The ungrateful whelp is my half-breed brother," he all but sneered.

Kagome's mother's smile faltered a bit, and she looked a little uneasy.

"Okay well, if you'd like anything to eat or drink just let me know, my name is.."

"Mom!" Kagome's voice rang through-out the house.

"I'll be right back dear, make yourself comfortable."

"I'm coming sweetheart!"

And her mother walked away. Sesshoumaru was left alone in the house. He looked around at the strange, foreign objects laying around. Obviously some things were kinda the same; the furnishing such as tables and seating arrangements. He walked in to a spacious area that was nicely decorated. There were two long seating tables -1-,with a resting table in front of them. In front of that, there was a large black screen, which flickered on in an instant. Images displayed out in front of him, and he momentarily was a bit shocked.

What is this?

A little boy skimpered across and sat on one of the seating tables.

"Boy." The child jumped.

"Holy cow, I didn't even see you there! WOW! You look just like Inuyasha! Are you his brother?" He could tell the child was excited. He could see the admiration swimming in his eyes.

"No."

The boy's smile died.

"Oh, okay. I'm Sota! Kagome's little brother.

Sesshoumaru ignored him, and looked past, and the moving images.

"What is this witchery that you control?"

Sota busted in laughter. "That's a television! Hahahaha, oh jeez. That was funny. A t.v is plays out shows that people create by themselves. It's all fictional. None of it is real."

"I see." He moved past the boy and looked out a window where he saw the Ancient Goshinboku. It was well aged with time, he could tell.

"Hey."

It was Kagome.

"Hn."

"Of course the Goshinboku is in my back yard. Fate huh?"

"Indeed."

"I think we should try to jump back in the well. Try to get you home."

"You have not explained anything."

"There's too much. You wouldn't understand."

He accepted what she said. There was a million and one things he wanted to ask. Like the most important, did he know her in the future? Was he even still alive? He refrained from asking. Did he even really want to know?

"Alright. But you will at some point or another."

That was acceptable. "Okay, lets go."

He followed her back out to the well she opened the door and waited for him to follow.

"You'll have to hold my hand."

"That too is acceptable."

She rolled her eyes. 'Whatever buddy.' She held her hand out and he grasped it lightly, as to not cut her with his claws.

"Jump on three."

He nodded.

"One…. Two….. Three!" They jumped in simultaneously and Kagome waited for he pull of magic.

But there was none.

'God, please no. PLEASE LET ME THOUGH!!' She mentally screamed in her head.

Sesshoumaru held her hand tighter so she would not fall upon landing, but she instantly dropped her to knees instead.

"It's not letting us through. Sesshoumaru.." She looked up into his golden amber eyes. He could see her despair. She didn't want him here. 'Why would she? She thinks I am a monster. Killer of her species.'

"Let me try alone. I promise if it lets me through, I'll come back and stay here with you. I can't just leave you alone." She stood and he jumped them both to the top. He could tell she was mentally preparing herself.

"One more time." And she jumped. He suspected to feel magic or something, anything, but felt none. Instead he heard her fall to the bottom pit with a crunch.

"OW! SHIT! YOU MOTHER-FUCKER, LET ME GO BACK! WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING?! WHYY?!!" She screamed.

"Cease your whining, girl. If the well wishes you back, it will let you back."

Her sobs increased and the tears running down her cheeks made it hard for him to focus.

He hated it when a woman cried.

He hated having to tend to said woman crying.

And she was injured.

He sighed and jumped down with her.

"I will take you back. Your foot is swollen already."

She nodded, not saying anything.

He picked her up with one arm, she was actually quite impressed he could get her out comfortably with one arm. Well.. Of course he could. He was Sesshoumaru, and Sesshoumaru was perfect. She was sitting on his forearm and was holding onto his shoulder tightly.

He walked silently, and she couldn't even hear his steps as he walked back to the house. Very graceful. As he opened her front door, he was met with an old crazy looking man.

"AH! Kagome!! I will save you!" Said man pulled out three sutras and flung them in Sesshoumaru's face. "DEMON! BE GONE!"

Sesshoumaru growled.. Very loudly.

"Grandpa!!! STOP IT! He'll kill you!" The look on her grandfather's face was enough to send the Demon lord into a fit of laughter. He scurried away calling for his daughter.

I guess she was correct about him. He was senile.
