Chapter 4

The Note

Kiya's amber eyes widened as she leaned forward on the lip of the well. A small gasp escaped her as she watched Kagome's form dissapear with a blue light. Shippo was across from her watching as well, but unlike Kiya he wasn't entertained by it. Kilala, had escorted the three to the well. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango were back at Keade's village. Inuyasha had been "sat" into unconciousness.

Shippo tore his green eyes away from the dark bottom of the well and focosed on Kiya's small form. She looked like she was about to fall in, or would of fallen in already if it wasn't for Kilala in her larger form, hanging onto Kiya by her pants. Kiya was still staring at the bottom of the well, her mouth forming a perfect "o" shape.

It's kinda like she's never seen this happen before, Shippo thought suddenly. I wonder if that means the well is closed in the future or if..Shippo gasped..what if Kagome dies?!

"Wha? What?!" Kiya's excited voice cut through Shippo's thoughts. She was trying to get a closer look without success. "What Kiya miss?"

"Oh, umm nothing." Shippo stated nervously. "Race ya back to the village!"

Both children took off as fast as their feet could carry them, laughing. Kilala would of easily kept up with them, if it weren't for the new game of "ditch Kilala" they decided to come up with.

"Ha! I'm winning I'm winning!" Shippo cheered. Kiya growled and lunged at him. She managed to tackle him, unfortonatly the ground was downhill. Leaving them to tumble quite a ways down. Kiya landed first on her stomach with a grunt and Shippo landed on top of her. However, their fight wasn't over. They were soon wrestling each other and Shippo was trying to dodge Kiya's bites. Neither of them noticed that they had managed to loose Kilala, or that they were being entertainment to a certain Taiyoukai in white. That was until, their fight was interupted.

"Stupid brats! Show respect for Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken screeched as he brought his staff down on both of their heads. Both of the kids winced and glared at said toad. Kiya decided to wrestled Jaken for his staff, while Shippo finally let Jaken's apperance and his words sink in looked up to see Lord Sesshoumaru watching them.

"Lord Sesshoumaru! Kiya we gotta get out of here!" Shippo glanced at Kiya to see her hitting Jaken repeatedly with the staff of two heads.

"Whys?" Kiya asked. She droped the staff and jumped at Sesshoumaru "Uncle Fluffy!"

Shippo jumped in Kiya's way, tackling the energetic three year old to the ground. Sesshoumaru raised a single eyebrow, slowly he approached the two wrestling kits his boots crunching the grass slightly. Easily he picked both of them up, Kiya held in his right and shippo held in his left hand.

"Kiya has note fur Uncle Fluffy! Uncle fluffy said to give note to Uncle Fluffy," Kiya stated happily.

"Note?! Why didn't you tell us about the note?" Shippo yelled at her.

"Uncle Fluffy said to just tell 'em cuz its a secret, and if yous tell Kiya will bite you again." Kiya threatened, much to Sesshoumaru's amuesment. Sesshoumaru droped Shippo to the ground, and held out his palm towards Kiya. The small girl smiled and dug out the note handing it to him.

"Sesshoumaru!!" Inuyasha yelled baraling into the clearing there were all in. Sesshoumaru easily hid the note, and held Kiya much like Inuyasha usually did.

"You have much to explain little brother," Sesshoumaru stated coldly.

"Put her down," Inuyasha growled. Shippo was already hiding, and Kiya was "petting" Sesshoumaru's tail.

"No," Sesshoumaru replied smiling slightly.

"Sesshoumaru.."Inuyasha warned pulling out Tetsusaiga. Sesshoumaru merely raised an eyebrow.

"You would attack me while I hold her?" Sesshoumaru asked mockingly.

"Put her down." Inuyasha stated again. Putting Tetsusaiga away once more.

"Answers," Sesshoumaru countered. Shippo, being smart, realized this would go on all day. Quickly he ran to Inuyasha, but looked up at Sesshoumaru.

"Kiya's not from this time," Shippo yelled. Shippo took a few nervous foot steps backwards, he had managed to break up the brotherly glaring contest. Sesshoumaru didn't say anything but nod slightly, he raised the little hanyo up and sniffed her.

"So, your daughter is from the future then. How is it that she is here?" Sesshoumaru asked as he resettled her in his arms. Kiya yawned, her run and fight had warn her out.

"Its Kiya's fault! She tackled me," Shippo accused.

"Thats not what he means Shippo," Inuyasha stated watching Kiya fall asleep in his brothers arms. "We're not sure. All she told us was that you sent her here. She's been with us for a week now."

"That's all this Sesshoumaru requires for now. I will return," Sesshoumaru stated tossing the sleeping hanyo towards Inuyasha. The girl immediatly awoke, and Inuyasha darted towards her catching her with ease.

"Sesshoumaru!" Inuyasha yelled. He looked around the clearing, Sesshoumaru was already gone, so was the knocked out toad. He said and looked down at Kiya who was staring at him startled. Inuyasha offered her a small smile, which eased the small girls nerves. She fell asleep once more, this time securely in her fathers arms. Inuyasha turned his soft amber eyes into a glare as he looked down at Shippou, who backed away.

"How'd you two loose Kilala?" Inuyasha asked.

"We lost her?" Shippo asked in awe. His answer was a growl. "We were racing and I was winning. Kiya tackled me! We fell down there!"

Inuyasha followed Shippo's finger to a hill. He put two and two together. He returned to glaring at Shippou before turning and walking back towards the village. "Kilala was meant to follow you to keep you guys out of trouble." and safe. He added mentally.

"It's not my fault!" Shippo wined running to keep up with him.

Sesshoumaru watched them turn and walk away from a distance. As his younger brother's form dissapeared from the clearing, he pulled out the crumbled note the hanyou girl had given him.

When Kiya has been with you for a years time. Take her

to the well that Kagome uses. In the office on the bookshelf

hidden behind a book is a bag of dried Tyme. Amongst

the Tyme, we have stored rare gemstones. When you

go to take Kiya to the well, give her the Bloodred stone.

If it doesn't work wait a few monthes, and try again. But

I doubt this war will last longer than a year. Do try to take

care of little Kiya, she tends to get into trouble.

-Lord Sesshoumaru-

Sesshoumaru frowned. The handwriting was his and only he knew about the bag of Tyme. I must of gone soft, Sesshoumaru thought unhappily. He growled and allowed poisen to drip from his fingers, destroying the note.
