Well, I've finally gotten around to updating, several days after I said I
would^_^; I just… had writer's block. Anyway, I'll start on the next
chapter right away, I promise, but it may take me awhile because I plan for
there to be some action in it, and I'm not very good at fight scenes. So
here you go.

Kyuuteki Chapter 3
Kagome wiped the dirt from her hands and looked at the filled in well. "That ought to hold it," she said to herself, voice breaking.
Turning, she walked to the door and opened it, letting golden rays of early morning sunshine in. "Now all that's left is to forget."
Two months later, Kagome found herself still struggling to deal with her feelings about Inuyasha and her time in the Sengoku Jidai. She stood, this morning like all others, look from the open window of her bedroom to the small structure that held the well.
"Onae-chan!" yelled her brother from downstairs. "Breakfast is ready! Come down!"
Turning from the window, she walked out of the room and down the stairs, to the kitchen where her family gathered every Sunday for breakfast. She plopped down into a seat and began to eat her rice.
"Good morning, Kagome," her grandfather said merrily. "I have some news that I think just might interest you."
Curiously turning her eyes to him, she asked, "And what might that be?"
"I've hired a new assistant; a very handsome young man not too much older than you. Just the thing to cheer you up, I think, you've been so morose since coming back. It seems he used to live in the area, and has just moved back, but has no place to live and no job. I'm not quite as young as I used to be, and could use a little help, so I thought it would be a perfect situation all around if he came to work here."
Kagome sat in thoughtful silence for a few moments. "Do you mean… He's going to live here with us?"
"Well, yes. I thought we'd give him the empty room down the hall."
"Are you sure he's not some sort of pervert that'll spy on me in the bath or something?"
"Well, I can't guarantee it, no, but he doesn't seem the type. I'm sure you'll be perfectly safe, Kagome."
At this point her Kagome's mother chimed in, "By the way, what time will he be arriving? Should I prepare extra for lunch?"
"Yes, he said he would probably arrive around noon. It will be fun; we can get to know each other over a meal."
Kagome's mind wandered throughout the rest of breakfast, wondering what the man would be like, and thinking of Inuyasha, and what his reaction would be if he found out that she would be living in the same house with another man, whether the relationship was platonic or not. She spent most of the morning only half aware of Shouta's speculation and his teasing about what might happen between her and the new shrine assistant.
When their mother finally came to call them in for lunch from sweeping sakura flowers, Shouta ran ahead to see if the man had arrived yet. Running back from the kitchen, he began to chant, "He's here, he's here!" while jumping up and down like a rabbit. Kagome continued to walk at her slow pace, much to his distress, though she was eager to meet the newcomer.
She opened the back door into the kitchen and found herself looking into the attractive face of a young man. Her eyes widened with surprise and recognition as she let out a scream that was half in fear and half in anger. It was Sesshou-maru.
lol Yes, Lightning, Sesshou-maru is in this fic. See, he just arrived? ^_^
