Disclaimer: They belong to me, I bought the rights to them last night on Ebay. ^_~ J/K. By the way, the poem used in this chapter IS mine! Don't touch *slaps away sticky fingers*

A/N: I struck a deal with the queen of M&Ms herself!! ^_~ Anyways, all thanks to Wasurera, I wouldn't be posting another chapter if it weren't for a our little game- *smiles mischievously while readying Fluffy's tail* Be wary M&M queen, Shizaa!!!

Silence

I kissed away all her despair, made it my own..
My cross to bear..

A sweet caress is what it took, her soft pale skin..
That gentle look..

She believed all my despairing lies, my face was grim..
My hands were tied..

I held her near, her tears were dry..
All her fear..

Her soft goodbye

~AC~

'Was it a dream? Could all that have really happened? How could one of my stature be so beaten by such a weak enemy? When did frail humans become so strong? When did I stop to care?

So many thoughts and questions in his restless mind. Sesshoumaru gave up on truly resting hours ago, and instead relished in the soft breathing that hadn't left his side since he had first believed he was dreaming, but how did he come to be here? This was a past he had thought left behind. A past he did not like visiting. Why? Because.. it wasn't real. There was never a hierarchy of demons, never a prince or lord of the Western lands. It was all a fantasy created by a scientist gone mad, and he.. the bi- product. So why was he here, again? Had a seeker captured him? Not likely, they wouldn't give him this luxury, they preferred the slow brutal tortures of the flesh, not the mind. Then maybe this was his minds way of escaping the truths of his present life. Unless..

'Did that fool of a man actually do it? Did he actually succeed in crossing both times into one? Then that would mean..'

~Present day Japan~

"I've done it! I have broken the barriers between this planets current present and that of my dreams. Soon those fools will realize what I have always known. What they know as their current reality will be their living nightmares, and I, Naraku, will be leading the demons that haunt them!"

Madness knows no bounds when unleashed upon a spirit torn. As realities mesh, what will become of the world that is known of now? Science has a price as some will soon come to find, but is the price worth the outcome? He had broken the barriers between humans and demons, created a force with the combination of the two, now the only question was when, when would this fiend be unleashed upon this unknowing world.

"Kikyou."

"Yes."

"News?"

"I sense his presence in that era."

"Fetch him."

"It is your command that I follow only because my will is not my own, but my fate alone I will seal."

"I see you still have fight in you. Heh, I designed you that way after all, but make no mistake Kikyou, your heart is mine.. literally."

Pushing a button on the palm of his hand, he watched as his creation fell lifeless to the floor, her shallow breathing the only sign of life her pale small body would offer. His doll would not walk unless he said how far, but perhaps he had put too much feeling when designing her. She was modeled in 'her' image after all, the image of a woman who would scorn him in death as she does so now in bio mechanical life. But he liked them independent, gave his maddened mind something to break.

"Will you listen now?"

"..."

"Go-get-him"

~Feudal Era Present day~

Kagome looked intently at the demon resting on her lap. He appeared so peaceful, but she could tell he wasn't sleeping. She at first thought he was going to attempt to 'skin' her as Inuyasha put so eloquently, but he merely laid there, content to rest on her lap. She was getting pretty hungry though, and from time to time she looked over at Inuyasha who only glared daggers at the resting youkai on her lap. Asking him to build a fire wasn't going to happen, but she didn't dare move from her spot, so starving for a few more hours it would have to be.

"You should eat soon, I'm getting tired of seeing you eye your bag like some deprived pup"

*blush* "I would but.."

"I'm sure you're new lap buddy won't mind."

"Inuyasha!!"

"Whatever, starve for all I care."

"If you don't want to hear my stomach then why don't you do something about it!!"

"I don't take orders from you wench!"

"Why are you such a JERK!"

"Why do YOU always have to be so DIFFICULT!"

"Why do you two always hide from yourselves?"

Kagome hadn't even noticed when Sesshoumaru opened his eyes, and began looking from one angry voice to the other. Inuyasha was to caught up in the heat of the argument to even care. Sesshoumaru was always ever so curious about his brothers actions towards her. They were far from loving, but always protective. He couldn't understand why Inuyasha hid the feelings that he himself could see so clearly. He once thought that he himself could not be touched by the once thought petty emotions of humans. Yet, here he was asking himself why he always got the shit end of the stick.

"You're awake!"

"Just now figuring it out? Feh, idiot."

Sesshoumaru had to hand it to her, when it came to blissfully ignoring his brothers stupidity, she was queen.

"If you say one more thing, so help me, I'll make teriyaki out of your ears then feed them to you whole!"

Sometimes...

"Grrrr, I don't need this, find your own way back bitch!"

"FINE!!"

Some things never change in any reality. Or perhaps they could? Maybe him landing in this reality will give him the chance a scientists madness had not foreseen. Maybe.

"You should eat."

"I've lost my appetite *growl*" "Eh hehe.."

"Go eat."

"You're right I guess, no sense going hungry because of his nonsense."

"..."

Starting the fire, Kagome made sure Sesshoumaru was comfortable and made enough for.. two. Inuyasha had gone, but only far enough to see that the second serving was not for him. Jealousy was a powerful thing, especially between two brothers. He would not let the bastard near her, of this he'd make certain.

~Meanwhile~

"I've found you.. Inuyasha."

A/N: *timid look* Hello, I decided to continue this poor story of mine. Keep in mind it is A/U. Slowly things will be explained, and yes, there is a couple I have in mind for this fic. And no you will never know despite what you MAY be thinking. Sorry if it sounds so confusing. I'll try to explain it better as I go, I also revised and re-edited the first chapter, yes there IS new content so if you've read it before then you might want to go over it again, I changed a few things *evil grin*

I'll have a new chapter up in another day or so. So I hope I don't disappoint, I might be adding more to this very soon as well, I like long chapters ^_~ Well, bye for now, and thanks to all for the encouragement. -AC
