Sesshomaru walked through the forest of the feudal era as he not once looked behind to his faithful servant and his assumed companion that he had saved the life of more than once. His golden eyes stayed intent on the moonlit sky as his stroll had come to a sudden stop after hearing the huffing of Jaken whom suddenly passed out from his tired-ness.

"Sess-sesshomaru-sama!" He called out, his face to the ground. The green guy kept his face down as he moved himself to a bowing position to pretend like he had never fallen from pure loss of energy. "Where are we going? Please, Sesshomaru allow us to take some sleep… we can't keep on walking like this. Besides, Rin must be tired!"

Sesshomaru grunted and looked back only slightly before he noticed that the one who probably should've been tired was no longer in the group. His eyes narrowed. "I told you to watch her, Jaken." His cold voice whisked across Jaken's soul, nearly freezing it over.

"Sesshomaru-sama… S-sshomr, I mean Sesshomaru-san… No, Sama!" He yelped as he stumbled over the logs that sat near him. Nervously, he stumbled over words and slammed into the ground as he tried to go over the topic but his eyes flared in a way that could burn his soul in the depths of the hell in his eyes. "She said… that she had to use the bushes so when you started moving again… I sort of forgot… about… her!"

The tenma didn't react to his words, in fact, he seemed to think about something elsewhere. His golden eyes stared at the moon with a sudden hatred as he pulled his sword close to him with an anger that Jaken couldn't understand. Taking his Bakusaiga into his hand, he swung with great energy at the ravines of the Earth, destroying the place completely.

"Serenity…" He mumbled with the sudden feeling of her great energy in this place. Was this a memory haunting him or was she truly in the Feudal Era? His golden eyes flashed as he ran forward until he came close to a lake.

It was the lake of memories, a place created by a tenma like him. It was created to remember his own memories of his past although the place ended up tormenting him with these ideas of his past and cursing his own present time. The demon had died in a way that only humans die… he died in heartbreak. He died in regret.

Sesshomaru stared into the water and its magical wonder. He saw nothing but felt her calm aura in which he had at one time cared for deep in his heart, the one whom betrayed him. She was a wretched being, that she was, yes indeed.

A warrior pure in the heart was what many described her nowadays, now that she was no longer living in the Silver Millenium. She was always rewarded with titles that didn't fit her such as the name princess; nothing so highly esteemed fitted a woman fit for the depths of hell. He touched the water and suddenly her touch became something that he felt, the very touch that betrayed him... it was with those hands that she killed his mother.

'Sesshomaru-chan, you speak so properly, as if our friendship means nothing... or worse, my love means nothing to you.'

Her words haunted his soul but he divulged himself more into the water to feel the warmness that he felt that day. He needed that feeling again. The cold hearted man wanted to feel his heart beat again like it did in those days.

'Sesshy-chan, I'll always be there for you... no matter what they say. Mama may not like it, but she's not the one who keeps you so dear to her, I am. I am in love with you, not her... so don't worry about it.'

The gentle kiss that she had given him that day could still be felt on his lips as he walked into the water of memories and suddenly stopped. Jaken yelled for him to get out of there, remembering that many times suicide had been committed in the middle of the lake. Sesshomaru either didn't hear or didn't listen as he walked closer to the middle of the lake and suddenly remembering never seeing his mother again.

His eyes opened and there he was near the center of the lake where the moon shined greatly. It was a full moon. Hmm... it was a full moon the night that his mother disappeared.

"We're going to find the girl." He said as he moved away slowly from the lake, trying to void all the memories that it brought back.

Motoki looked at Usagi with a surprised as if the name Mamoru had been a name that he never heard before, much less from her

Motoki looked at Usagi with a surprised as if the name Mamoru had been a name that he never heard before, much less from her. Her bright blue eyes kept its innocent smile that intrigued anyone to want to meet her.

"Usagi-san…" He said with emptiness to his voice. He smiled lightly but uncomfortably as if maybe if he went on with this game, she'd just give up on speaking about this 'Mamoru' guy. He was acting so odd, so odd. "Do you need a doctor?"

Backing away, she looked at the blonde man that she knew so well over these last couple years in disbelief; he had to be joking! Could he have forgotten about his own friend?! For a moment, it made her want to say her favorite quote to him, wanting this man in front of her to be an enemy rather than her kind video-game guy whom she couldn't think of a bigger title but went on like this run-on sentence on things to call this man whom she used to have a crush on but stopped thinking abruptly… like this sentence.

"Motoki-san…" She muttered quietly as she decided to back away back into the shocked street where she had previously yelled out 'Poor cat-boy, he'll never know how good those cookies were.' The cars seemed to still be still in the shock of her outbursts causing her to feel that this day was going to be one of those days that she'd look back and say: 'what an odd day.'

It was like she living in a comedy where nobody understood her and some person was controlling her every movements. No, it was more like she was in a fan fiction story that somebody was writing in class… sort of like the ones she used to write of Sailor V.

'Yeah right…' She thought to herself as she continued on her walking, 'like that'll ever happen.'

"I really can't wait for this day to end!" She screamed obnoxiously and randomly again, this time with more drastic results.

People stopped and stared with wide eyes at her, almost as if they were all frozen.

The cars had gotten over the shock but when hearing the obnoxious loudness again began to crash to each other while others threw themselves into the frozen seeming people.

An emo kid looked at her with a sad look. "I wish my days would end too… but I'm not so selfish to cause what you've caused." Suddenly, he was picked up the neighbor frienly Spider-man whom crashed into another wall thus fulfilling his wish.

Okay, so, this was more than just an odd day… it was a day with pure randomness.

Now, she really wished for this day to end, not knowing that soon this day would probably be considered a nice day to go back to compared to what was unbeknownst in her future.

Rei looked at the little girl in shock. Why was she there out of all places? Why wasn't she with the man whom nearly killed her? Her violet eyes showed of her fear as the little girl reached out for her.

"Pyro-chan." The little girl said again as she touched Rei's shoulder then smiled. "Why are you afraid? If you like, I can be your friend. My name is Rin... whats yours, huh?" She asked with her childish innocent voice. Shock had never left her, especially now for she had to wonder how a child can seem so innocent but be around pure evil.

Rei however was never naive enough to believe something like that very easily so she lied. "My name is Knowles Beyonce." It would seem like a horrible lie any other time... however, this was the Feudal Era; nobody ever heard of the singer so it was believable other than the fact that it wasn't a very japanese name.

Rin smiled lightly as she giggled. "That's a funny name. I'll just call you... Pyro-chan." Rei smiled in return as she heard the running of some villagers, calling out for her to help.

Rei could only hope that they needed help with something easy. Running outside, she told Rin to stay inside as she felt the aura of someone very powerful outside; it was familiar yet so unfamiliar.

"Please help us!" A man called out as he grabbed onto her arm. "Please priestess, please." Rei nodded and ran forward towards where she felt the energy and saw a man that she had sworn that was Sesshomaru but she knew it wasn't. His aura was different yet familiar.

The man paused when she got close and his partner stared at her wickedly.

She knew him even if he didn't have the same aura. He had the same aura as him. Fear encroached her heart... could her greatest fear be true?

"Shuichi is that you?" She asked, her eyes narrowed.

From behind, Rei heard a man yell as a sword had sliced through his body then could hear the little girl scream in her strongest voice, "NO! Don't hurt Pyro-chan!" She could hear the swiftness of the sword coming down but her shock kept her from moving.
