Chapter 4- Meet the Future

Sesshomaru found himself in a daze as he tried to recollect his senses, he noticed the miko was in much worse shape and threw her off his body. Kagome groaned and sat herself up, dulling her sense of smell to almost a human's. She sighed and shook the headache she felt coming away. "Welcome to my world." She mumbled almost sleepily. She leapt from the well without hesitation followed instantly by Sesshomaru. Kagome signaled him to follow and he did so without much word. Kagome entered her home and let her aura expand, but she found no one in the house. She threw off her shoes and ran to her room, finding it exactly how she left it, but her mother's scent was all over it instead of hers. Kagome raced to Souta's room, noticing a guitar on his bed as if he had left abruptly. Kagome then rushed to her grandfather's room, finding it neat, which was unusual. She frowned when she realized he hadn't been here recently. Kagome turned and screamed. Sesshomaru glared at her and gave her a slight shove, which caught her off guard.

"Hey you bastard, what was that for?" she yelled after him as he left the room.

"Obscenities are not necessary miko, and it was for screaming in my ear." He told her in a calm manner. Kagome followed after him and she realized he went to her room and sat on her bed. She stared at him from the doorway with her arms folded. "Why did you not tell me you were InuYasha's wench?" he asked in a deadpan voice. Kagome nearly tripped as she walked to her desk and sat sideways in the chair to face him.

"That would be because I am not his wench, and you didn't ask me who I was, or what my name was." Kagome told him admiring her nails. Sesshomaru growled warningly at her and Kagome growled back. "I didn't remember where I came from, and the only thing I remembered wanting was to become stronger." Sesshomaru glanced at her calculatingly and nodded firmly.

"So where is this mother you speak of?" he asked impatiently.

"I don't know oh great impatient dog demon, but she always leaves a note on the fridge, so I'll go check there." She replied bitingly. She heard Sesshomaru growl as she bounded downstairs and smiled. She found Buyo sleep on the kitchen floor and stared at him. He was a lot skinnier than she remembered. She poked the cat with a careful claw and he hissed then mewed at her. Kagome smiled and petted his head before glancing at the notes on the refrigerator. She saw a doctor's note for what she assumed was the day's date, and turned around and screamed again. "What the hell is up with you appearing from no where Sesshomaru?" she screamed at him clutching her rapidly beating heart. Sesshomaru glared at her coldly before responding.

"I did not appear from no where miko, you were the one clutching to me when we jumped through the well, and I came downstairs to see what this 'fridge' you were speaking of." He announced to her with an irritated voice, "How would I know that you weren't aware of your surroundings?" Kagome made a face at him and he plucked a photograph off the freezer part.

"Who is this in this well done painting?" he asked politely. Kagome stared at the picture in his hand and let it wrap around her mind.

"That's called a photograph, and it's my baby brother. He's a teenager now, playing soccer for the high school. Can you imagine?" she spoke softly, taking the photo from his hand and touching the boy's face gently. Sesshomaru sensed a pang of loneliness circle her aura before diminishing to happiness. He almost questioned it but he heard something akin to a bell and the door opened, revealing a man who smelled of sickness and death, a middle-aged woman who also smelled lightly of the same sickness, and a teenage boy who had been sweating recently.

"Mom!" Kagome yelled to the middle aged woman almost causing the woman to drop the purse she carried. Kagome's mom smiled in what seemed to be three years worth of relief as Kagome hugged her tightly. Sesshomaru scented tears and scoffed, women and their emotions. He watched as she hugged her grandfather then her brother who was taller than her, though his voice was screechy. Souta looked at Sesshomaru with challenging eyes and smirked at him vaguely. Sesshomaru took this as a threat for his lands and growled dangerously at the boy. Taken off guard, the boy removed his gaze and stepped back a few feet with a blush. Kagome stopped her reunion with her family and walked over and poked Sesshomaru in his ribcage. He growled at her too and she smiled brightly at him.

"Hey quit scaring my brother, he was just showing you he thought you were cool. I don't know why though. Oh yeah mom, this is Lord Sesshomaru." She introduced with an emphasis on his title. The woman reached her hand out to shake his and he hesitated before doing so. Kagome stared at her grandfather, waiting for him to jump up with an ofuda and scream at the demon lord, but he did nothing and walked to the couch to sit down.

"Kagome," he called weakly, "come sit with me a moment."

"Hai gramps." She called back after her mother told Souta to help with the groceries. Souta left out the front door with Sesshomaru in tow and Kagome sat beside her grandfather, holding his hand in joy.

"Kagome," he began taking what seemed to be a struggled breath, "you belong in the Sengoku era, which is why you could never fully understand the subjects here. I found you at the bottom of the well after first marrying my wife over fifty years ago. Bless her soul, after two years you hadn't aged in appearance and never cried unless you were hungry, but she was afraid to take you to the hospital in fear of losing you. It wasn't until after we had Hatsumi, did you finally become the size of a nine month old baby, and that was twenty years afterwards. Yet, you were full of wisdom beyond compare, you learned fairly quickly, like you everything was a second instinct to you. When your mother finally became a teenager is when you were the appearance of toddler size. Then after she married, is when you were the size of a ten year old. When my wife died three years later, you still had not grown much. Yet your father, never questioned surprisingly. The day he died, a few months after Souta's birth, you grew to the size of a teenager I would say. Here we are now." He seemed to be taking deep breaths and Kagome sighed.

"So you're telling me I don't belong here?" she asked sadly. Her grandfather weakly reached to ruffle her hair.

"No dear Kagome, I would never say such a thing to my only granddaughter. I'm simply saying that we virtually adopted you, and your mother took you in because she felt we were too old to be walking around stores with a ten year old child and calling you our daughter." Kagome wiped away tears that had sprung down her face and hugged her knees. "You belong where you feel your heart belongs." Gramps told her with a weak smile. Kagome looked at him with a smile and threw her body onto his with a hug. She heard her mother's quiet tears from the kitchen and rushed to her, enveloping her in a loving embrace as they both sobbed. The scent of tears overpowered what little scent she could smell, as her grandfather closed his eyes for the last time with a smile on his face. The two bonding women were interrupted when Souta and Sesshomaru reentered with bags. Sesshomaru was carrying all of them rather, and Souta was praising him enthusiastically. Hatsumi pointed to the table where he set them down. He paused and stood up straight.

"What smells like death?" he questioned. Hatsumi's eyes widened and she called out her father's name. When he didn't answer, she rushed to the couch and touched his cheek which was cooling as he paled. She called out his name again and shook him slightly, tears pouring from her eyes. Souta crossed to his mother instantly, sniffing away his tears as he held her tightly as she sobbed uncontrollably calling her father's name. Kagome made a move to walk to them but stopped beside Sesshomaru.

"Let's go," she whispered to him. Sesshomaru stared at the demoness with a confused face. She shook her head and pointed to the front door. "I said lets go." She repeated. He only nodded and the two left unnoticed. Kagome sat on the lip of the well with Sesshomaru standing behind her.

"Why do you not mourn your grandfather?" he asked as she kicked her feet as if they were touching water.

"I can't feel anything." She responded distantly. Sesshomaru looked at her with widened eyes, before he replaced it with his stoic mask.

"You feel like your demoness side then. Demons do not feel emotion when sudden or unexpected death comes." He explained to her with almost a soft voice. Kagome turned her head to look at the daiyoukai and the he nearly flinched at the almost dead look in them.

"Let us return you to your kit." He informed her Kagome nodded numbly and he picked her up and leaped into the well and felt the breath sucked from him as blue light surrounded them. Sesshomaru jumped from the well with grace and set the miko down. He felt her blare her aura, obviously trying to attract his brother's attention. Not too long after, his brother's group came running, even Kikyo's son was holding her hand and being dragged by his mother.

"Sesshomaru," InuYasha's gruff yell echoed, "If that's Kagome, what the hell ya did to her ya bastard!" Sesshomaru glared at the hanyou and mentally sighed.

"Why must you always make accusations, dear brother?" Kagome looked up at Sesshomaru, fire returning to her eyes.

"InuYasha," she called, "Your business is with me, not your brother, and he did nothing to me." InuYasha placed a white-knuckle grip on his Tetsusaiga as she stepped in front of Sesshomaru and began walking towards them. She stopped in front of the little boy that smelled human and kneeled to him with a smile. "Hey kiddo, what's your name?" she asked politely.

"Junichiro," he spoke softly, feeling the need to trust her. "What's your name?" he countered.

"Kagome." She told him with a leading tone. She watched him light up with a smile and she cocked her head.

"I didn't like you at first, because okaa-san and otou-san always argued over you, but I see why now." He told her. Kagome frowned at first then smiled.

"Alright Sesshomaru we can go now." She told him.

"This Sesshomaru does not take orders." Sesshomaru spoke to her. Kagome growled and she felt a clawed hand on her wrist. She felt her temple throb in slight anger and was about to snatch away when the grip tightened. Kagome looked up with a glare at the hanyou.

"Kagome," he breathed staring into her uniquely colored eyes trying to find any emotion. Kagome spit at him, causing him to release his grip on her wrist.

"Don't you dare call my name like that you prick." She whispered bowing her head so her bangs covered her eyes. "I'm just your shard detector remember. Anyways, I'm pretty sure you couldn't scent another child on the way you'd be a fool to leave your wife and kids for someone who didn't love you back." Kagome looked up to see Sango staring at her in shock with a hand on her belly. Kagome's eyes softened considerably and ran and enveloped the slayer deeply and then punched Miroku on the shoulder playfully. Miroku smiled at his old friend as she backtracked to in front of the hanyou.

"All I wanted was to be a part of your life even if I was considered a friend, sister, or enemy, but I am no one's tool." She spoke to him with angry words. InuYasha moved to embrace her but she shoved him away. She turned her back and walked away proudly, which left Sesshomaru to follow as she leapt into the air and rode the wind currents back to Yukika's palace. Sesshomaru floated beside her silently for a few minutes.

"Where are you to go after leaving their palace?" he questioned her coldly. Kagome sighed.

"What's it matter to you?" she responded, then with a heavy sigh she answered him, "I don't know. I was thinking maybe journey around a bit, become a nomad ya know?" Sesshomaru stared at her with confusion in his eyes before looking away.

"That's foolish." He said simply. Kagome scoffed and was about to retaliate when something struck her from the air, knocking her off the wind current she was riding. She fell through high tree branches at rapid speed and hit the forest floor hard. She groaned and removed the slightly thin tree branch that had impaled her calf muscle then gripped her left hand on the arrow that was embedded deeply in her shoulder from the fall. She muffled her scream by sinking her fangs into her tongue as she ripped the arrow from her shoulder. She spit out a mouthful of blood and looked up as Sesshomaru circled where she fell. With a pained moan she stood, holding her shoulder as it healed. She reached for her Shinto's and cursed when she remembered they were on her bed.

'What the hell is with me always leaving my weapon behind?' She thought to herself as she expanded her aura for her attacker. Frowning, she found no one and leaned against the base of a nearby tree. The gash in her leg was taking forever to heal. She limped forward, hearing a snap and reached for the hidden dagger in her boot.

"I suggest you not do that honswore." Kagome paused instantly, feeling an aura more powerful than Sesshomaru's behind her. It was a male she was sure, yet he had a somewhat female voice. "Don't move honswore, for I don't trust you." Kagome arched an eyebrow inching her arm to her foot slowly. A foot came from her right and kicked her in her ribcage with incredible force, sending her flying into a tree. "I told you not to move bitch." The voice came in a deeper tone. Kagome coughed, feeling a splitting headache come on. She opened her dizzy eyes to see a fairly buff man standing above her head from behind. Even from the ground she could tell he was over eight feet tall, but he also had so much muscle mass on him, she could feel it when he walked. He picked her up daintily by her throat and rammed her against the tree she was kicked into, sending colors into her eyes again. "Give me your name." the man commanded tossing her onto the floor. Kagome landed on her bottom and groaned.

"Fuck you bastard, why the hell would I give you my name. That'll make you a girl wouldn't it?" she sassed with a smile. The man obviously was not taking this a light matter and ran quickly for one so big and punched her in the stomach. Kagome choked on the air she was breathing and let blood spill from her mouth as he hung her in the air with his large fist.

"Kagome." She told him with a wince. 'Where is Sesshomaru?' she thought as the man began to babble his thoughts. Kagome placed both hands on his huge forearm and weakly sent a strong burst of miko power into him. The man released a deep bellowing laugh.

"Stop that tickles." He exclaimed. Her eyes widened when his killer black eyes landed on her. "What the hell did you think it was going to do bitch?" he asked her coldly. His other hand slapped the living piss out of her and sent her into the air again, landing on a rather pointy bush. He was in front of her face again and she weakly spit blood in his face. He growled at her and made a move to hit her when a green poison whip grabbed his wrist. The man screamed in pain when the whip retracted, leaving a melted abomination. He punched Kagome in the stomach as punishment and she oofed and spit out more blood. It was like being hit with a sledge hammer. Kagome closed her eyes as she felt herself fall from of the top of the bush. She could hear the man breathing beside her and Sesshomaru engaged in battle with another person, probably the person who shot the arrow at her. Her eyes shot open when the man grabbed her hips and ripped half of her yukata off.

"God dammit," she breathed to the guy drunkenly, "this was my favorite yukata. Damn you men." The man laughed evilly and ripped at the top. "What's your name anyways?" Kagome questioned completely out of it.

"Haro." He told her. Kagome nodded and felt the man grip her hips again. "It'll only hurt for a second dearie." She heard him say. Kagome groaned and involuntarily kicked out, landing firmly on his crotch. "Fuckin bitch!" she heard him wince. Kagome groaned in pain again and heard him remove a sword from its scabbard. "What a waste of a virgin." He said slamming the blade through her bare stomach. Kagome's eyes widened and she arched forward as her fingers closed around the blade on instinct. Haro smiled and twisted it slightly. He looked up only to be decapitated by Tokijin (sp?). Sesshomaru's eyes landed on the priestess on the ground, drowned in her own pool of blood. He pulled the blade from her stomach and glared at her in defiance.

"I'm okay," she told him with a smile.

"Foolish," he reminded her again. Kagome only smiled and coughed again. "Heal yourself now." He told her.

"I can't," she told him, and when he sent her a glance that said 'why' she smiled, "I'm a weak idiot that always gets into situations like these."

"You are not weak, Kagome." He told her. Kagome's eyes widened when he called her name and she grinned.

"Give me some of your strength." She told him in an asking voice. Sesshomaru stared at the girl hard, surprised Akihito had told her of the way.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Life or death situation here, umm yeah." She sassed. Sesshomaru lowered him self to the miko and watched her for a moment. "Just take off your damn hakamas Sesshomaru." She ordered. Sesshomaru did so slowly, waiting for her to object. "You and I both know why the Tensaiga won't work on me." She told him before he offered it. Sesshomaru said nothing and removed his armor quickly, feeling her life slipping. He carefully lifted her body above his erection and positioned her carefully.

"Are you sure?" he asked again, "This Sesshomaru does not ask twice, nor do I remove my mark once it is there." He felt the girl's head loll back and she waved her hand as a yes. Sesshomaru drove her quickly onto his pulsing member, watching her breasts bounce lightly at the force. He muted her scream of pain and brought the junction of her collar bone and neck to his mouth before letting his fangs lengthen and drove them into the sensitive area. He heard her scream again and arch her back in pain as he held her up with his knees and marked a crescent with his poison. He set her back on top of his obi and propped her legs on his shoulders as he stroked deep within her, earning mews. His face changed drastically as if he was about to transform as they both escalated on to their mountain peaks, and he began pumping with his demonic speed. Kagome could all but hold back her scream of climax as she weakly lifted her head and sunk elongated fangs into the right junction of his neck. Using a silver poison, she traced the half star on her forehead on the mark and fell back as Sesshomaru's mighty roar vibrated her being as he released deep into her womb. Sesshomaru watched as her wounds healed before his eyes, and an annoying biting sensation stung at his right nub. The pain would have been unbearable, had he not been on cloud nine at the moment, and he soon waved his right hand in front of his face. He touched the magenta stripes at his wrist with care then looked at the sleeping demoness. He traced the electric blue stripes on her hips and inner thighs then noticed her tail. He moved his in test, and then decided that she could summon hers at will. He removed his member from her and clothed himself a lot quicker than normal. He gripped his arm tightly and smiled.

"From the depths of hell." He heard her murmur as she sat up with much strain. "Am I-," she started impassively.

"No," Sesshomaru answered her, "I can hold back my fertile seed, and it is not quite near the right time for your eggs either." Kagome blushed and looked up. Noticing he had no shirt. She traced the magenta markings down his chest, and let her imagination finish where they ended. She nearly turned tomato red when he turned around to pick up his inner obi. She counted over seventeen of her claw marks on his back that smelt of her poison.

"Sorry," she told him, "I forgot to tell you I had poison." Sesshomaru looked down at her with unemotional eyes.

"I knew you did from first meeting you. My body will adapt to it as yours will to mine." She watched as he rapidly tied his obi on. Finding her strength, she stood and painfully bent over to pick up his outer obi and slid it over her head. Sesshomaru twitched his nose at the smell of her pure blood running down her leg. "Perhaps a bathe in the springs is necessary for us both." He offered. Kagome nodded in agreement and he picked her up and raced to the hot springs Kagome realized was not too far from the palace. She was naked before she realized and so was Sesshomaru as he gently sat her down in the water. The water came up to her collar bone just barely and Kagome sighed as he swam off into the deeper part. She dunked her head into the water and relaxed as she held her breath for ten minutes. When she came back up, she met Sesshomaru's glare.

"Water hide's scent." He voiced with a disapproving tone.

"I know that." Kagome replied.

"My beast was about to get upset because it thought you were gone. If he were to go on a rampage because of it, many people would have gotten hurt."

"Do I have a beast?" Kagome questioned.

"Woman," Sesshomaru growled.

"Oh sorry, why would it get mad for you only did it to save my life right?" she questioned innocently letting her bangs fall over her eyes.

"It…." Sesshomaru began with a stutter, "it… likes you. He had liked you from when you pulled the sword from my father's tomb."

"Oh," Kagome said, "Do you like me?" she asked.

"No." Sesshomaru stated bluntly. Kagome nodded.

"I figured as much." She told him with a smile. The two sat in an awkward silence and Sesshomaru pulled them from the water and tied his obi around her before dressing himself.

"We'll collect your kit then go to my palace. Rin needs to talk to a female." Sesshomaru told her in a tone that meant business.
