Disclaimer: I don't own inuyasha

Another chappy for all you hentai's out there. However I'm sorry to say there will be NO citrus what-so-ever in this chapter. Now now keep the hostility down you will get your precious lemon later... (whispers under breath, "Much later. More like at the end of the story) I guess it's a good thing none of you know where I am! Laughs wickedly! Oh well enjoy the story any way! Keva

http://groups. know it seems strange to run away from something as hot and sexy as Sesshoumaru. I also know that being with him is something that I desperately wanted, but aside from the revenge of the torture that he made me suffer through, there's something else that I want from him. I think that for us to be together we need more than just sex. I mean what if his has a bad habit that just drives me insane? Could I honestly spend the rest of my life with someone who for example, oh I don't know, lets just say picks his nose? Yes I know that's disgusting, and I'm sure it does not apply to my demon lord, but still, you get the gist of it. I couldn't live with someone who does that, it just too gross!

I'm sure he doesn't know why I ran away from him, but I didn't have a chance to explain, how could I? What am I suppose to do, holler out right in the middle of my orgasm, 'Oh please Sesshoumaru tell me about yourself!' Yea, don't think so. As if he would have stopped and said 'Well, when I was young….' So here I am sneaking through the forest as stealthily as my human body can, trying to get away from one PISSED OFF daiyōkai.

I can hear a waterfall not too far away, maybe I can use the loud falls to hide my breathing so that he can't hear me. I know he can't scent me or feel my aura, but I know he can hear my breathing. I can only hold my breath for so long, everything needs to breathe every now and again, including on the run miko's.

Yep the falls is a good place to hide, there's even a little cove off to the side just big enough for me to get into and still give me a good view of both banks. If he finds me hiding here I will submit to him, cause what other choice would I have? Unless he just decided that if he couldn't have me he'd have me dead, and then I would have to purify him. And it would be a damn shame to rid the world of something as sexy as Sesshoumaru. I just don't think I could live with myself if I purified him.

Oh my, that would be so kawaii if it wasn't on the hunt! Sesshoumaru in his true form is just too adorable! I just want to run up to him and scratch his belly and see if his leg kicks, but of course I won't do such a thing. Not unless I want to either die or beg for forgiveness and I don't want to do either. I just can't get over how cute he is, with his big black nose to the ground trying to sniff me out. I wonder if I got him a giant squeaky toy would he roll around on his back while playing with it?

Damn too close, too close… shoo doggy….go the other way…Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease! Whew sigh of relief. Good he's headed in the other direction, now's my chance to sneak away and try to get to the well without getting caught. Think sneaky and be silent! One sound and I will have a giant white dog breathing down my neck.

I successfully made it home without drawing attention to myself and bringing forth the fury that is Sesshoumaru. I decided that I would hide out (yes I know hiding out is weak and pathetic, but hey, if you were me you would do the same thing!) in my time for about a week, and hopefully during that time the great white beast would calm somewhat. Plus my hanyou spy say that he hasn't sniffed, seen, or heard of Sesshoumaru being anywhere near the village, but that doesn't mean he's not somewhere nearby. It just means that I will be looking over my shoulder every second that I am in Sengoku Jidai.

I suppose that having to watch my back every second could be fun, I'm not sure how, but I guess I could make a game out of it some how. I know enough to know that I will be hunted while I am in the past, I will be nothing more than prey to a mighty killer. Although I think I could make a game out of it, I'm reminded that every time I watched the nature channel I never once saw a gazelle play tag with a cheetah, or a zebra and a lion playing hide and seek just for the fun of it.

Actually I do have an idea that could be fun, or not. I don't know how anyone would react to me looking completely different but hey ya do what ya gotta do! So before I go back I think I will go to the beauty salon and have some changes done. Don't worry I'm not going to make any serious changes to my own hair or anything like that, I'm just going to get a new head of hair in the form of a short maybe red, maybe blond wig. Then off to the optometrist to get some green contacts, I've always wanted to have green eyes. Then I will have a wardrobe change. Although no matter what I wear it will be considered clothes not of that time. Much to my dismay I may just have to suck it up and wear the clothes that all the women of Sengoku Jidai wear.

The more I think about it the more I think that a change would be really fun, and if I'm confronted by the demon lord, I could deny that I am who I am just for the sake of his reaction. Oh and if I do, do that then I will need a name change as well. Let's see what name could I go by? I suppose it depends on if I go with red or blond hair. Hmmm….if I'm a red head I could go by Akako, meaning red… I know not very original, but hell with all the plans and ideas I'm trying to come up with I can only maintain so much originality. Besides simplicity is sometimes the best way to go. Anyway back to the name thing. Akako if I go with a red wig, and I guess for blonde I could go with Shika. Shika is fitting, it means deer and a deer is always prey, and what am I if not prey to the daiyōkai?

Let's see here what else can I do to change my appearance? I've got hair, eyes, and clothes covered, now its time to work on body structure. I know that that's a little much but if I'm going to go do this, I might as well go big with it. Oh I got it! I can put demon markings on me! That changes everything!

Instead of short hair I could go with long any color hair I want. Oh I know, I will match Sesshoumaru's sash. Gold knee length hair, deep purple eyes, and deep purple with gold outlined swirly markings on my arms and neck, and for the final touch how about a gold or purple flower just under my right eye that matches the white flowers on Sesshoumaru's haori. Yes, that sounds much better. Now for clothing. Lets see here, how about black hakama, with a forest green long sleeve under shirt, and a black and green striped kimono tied with a black sash. I like how Kagura wears hers with the right sleeve dropped off, so I will just remove the right sleeve and shorten the kimono to mid thigh. Then to complete my ensemble I will get battle boots like Sango's. Yes this will work. Oh and can't forget to get fake pointed fingernails for claws.

Now the next thing to take care of, convincing Inuyasha and the rest to go along with it. That shouldn't be a problem, they will just have to remember to call me by my new name. Which will be, hmmm… think demon names. Well I guess it depends on what kind of demon I want to be. I saw a show about Caracal's and they seemed really cool. Small but dangerous, yep that's what I want to go for. So that means I will also have to have my ears done as well as something done about the teeth. If I do a caracal I will have to change my coloring to brownish red hair, green cat eyes, and black markings. I will keep my clothing the same except I will change the colors from green and black to white and brown. My goodness this is going to be a lot of work, but I bet it will be fun once its done and I go back.

Now for the name. Let's see…. I got it... Mikonkarei, wild beauty. Sounds good to me. Now time to make some phone calls and get this thing under way. I can't wait to see what I look like when it's all said and done. Inuyasha's gonna freak out.

It wasn't easy to get my new look pulled together, but I have to say that it came out better than I thought it would. Sota caught Inuyasha's reaction with the camcorder so that we can watch it over and over again. When the hanyou showed up, he first thought that I was one of my friends. When I tried to tell him that I was me he called me a liar, until I sat him to prove that I was who I really said I was. It was priceless!

Once he recovered and realized that I was actually Kagome I then had to explain my plan and told him. Then I told him to go to the rest of the group, and explain it to them, then most importantly search the area for his big brother to make sure that he wasn't around so that I could go through the well. I mean it would be really upsetting for me to go through all the work of changing my appearance just to get caught going through the well. I told the hanyou not to just give a quick sniff to search for the demon lord, I wanted a search team scouring the surrounding forest for the mighty dog.

Four hours later Inuyasha came back telling me that Sesshoumaru was nowhere to be seen and that it was rumored that he was back at his palace. So I figured that a rumor was better than nothing and if I got caught going through the well, then I would just have to suck it up and face the consequences. I did however pray to every kami in the heavens above that Sesshoumaru was actually at his palace and I would get through the well without incident.

Going through the well was a success, and what was even better than getting through the well undetected was the reaction of my friends upon my arrival. Apparently Inuyasha failed to mention my new appearance to them and got sat which proved that I was who I said I was. The hanyou questioned me about being sat every time I needed to prove to someone who I was. I told him that that was the only way to prove who I was, being that there is no one else who could sit him but me. Besides he and the rest were the only ones I needed to show who I was… or am… or whatever.

We decided that the next day we would head out in search of more jewel shards and see who we would run into. Part of me wanted to run into Koga, as much as the idiot wolf annoyed me, his was another reaction that I couldn't wait to see. Only he wouldn't know that it was me, and I prayed that if we ran into him, that my friends would remember to call me by my new temporary name. I was finding that all but Inuyasha, wasn't having a problem with calling me by my new name. I only feared that Inuyasha in the heat of one of his brain lapses would call me Kagome in front of the wrong person. The result would be a sitting to beat all sittings! I didn't spend a week changing my appearance just for the hanyou to blow it because of his big mouth.

So I decided that it was time for some dog training. Every time he calls me Kagome I will sit him. I'm sure it won't work, but hey it's worth a try anyway. I mean the dog in him should realize what he is doing wrong and try to correct it right? Right? But then again we all know how dumb he can be sometimes, and how hardheaded he is. Which makes me wonder if, of all the times I sat him, was it possible that I caused him some kind of brain damage? I didn't know him for very long before the subjugation beads were put on him, so I don't exactly have any idea as to what he was like prior to having control over his position on the earth. Oh well, maybe I will sit him one time and it will knock something into place. Not likely!

Anyway back to our hunt for the elusive hanyou or jewel shards or whichever the hanyou is hunting after, and which there is no sign or rumor of either. Inuyasha asked more like asked with a tone that said we would go where he wants no matter what we think, which direction we should go in. Well, apparently we all decided that we should head south. Now I don't remember saying south, nor did I hear anyone else say south, so I must assume that there is another group of shard hunters sitting with us that only Inuyasha can see and talk to. You see I don't want to go south I want to go, well you know, west of course. Sesshoumaru isn't south, as a matter of fact he is closer to us than Inuyasha thought he was. I can feel him.

So I decided that Inuyasha and his imaginary shard-hunting group could go south and the rest of us would go west. Do you all remember my little game of getting zapped with a shot of power every time the hanyou's mouth spewed sewage? It is still in effect! So five sits and ten shots later we, invisible group included, decided that we would go west. By my summation, the inu of the west is only about a day away, and if we move quickly we should catch up to him in no time. So with the decision made we headed out the next morning, in search of jewel shards according to the rest of the group, but a demon lord to me.
