Sesshoumaru watched the girl walk by. She did look like Inu Yasha's
old bitch. She may very well be the reincarnation of Kagome. He spoke
into the phone that connected him to the driver, "Pull up to that girl," he
ordered.
Kagome watched with a little alarm when a black stretch limousine pulled up next to her. The window rolled down and she found herself looking face to face with the last person she had ever expected to see, "Sesshoumaru!" She hissed.
Surprise flickered for a brief moment on the Youkai's face. This wasn't Kagome's reincarnation. This was Kagome. "We need to talk. Get in."
"What do we have to talk about?!"
"My," he paused, "grandson accused me of hiring you to spy on him."
"Grandson?" Kagome looked confused, "you don't mean Inu Yasha?"
"Yes, that is who I mean. Now, please get in. I will not hurt you," he said.
"You promise?"
"I give you my word."
Kagome opened the door and slid in. The leather seats were divine, butter soft fine leather, but she hardly noticed as she stared at the inu- youki in front of her.
When she had settled herself Sesshoumaru asked her, "How are you still living? When Inu Yasha told me of a girl who knew who and what he was, I expected to find a reincarnation who remembered some of her past life. But you are not a reincarnation. You are the same girl from all those years ago."
Kagome looked up into Sesshoumaru's face. He looked exactly like she remembered him; proud, arrogant, with a cold beauty she had never seen anywhere else. She considered the youki for a moment, then decided that it really didn't matter anymore if he knew about the well. After all, it was already over and done with. Besides, no one could use it except her, and maybe Inu Yasha, she added. She didn't even know if it still worked. She had not tried to use it since she last came back.
Sesshoumaru's eyebrows rose slightly, as she told him about the bone eaters well. "That would explain a great deal," was all he said when she finished.
"Now, tell me how Inu Yasha became your grandson."
"He is not technically my grandson. I found him a few months ago, in a stand of trees on my estate. I do not know how he came to be in this world. He had no memory of his past. I thought it best to give him something to remember and cling to, until he is ready to remember what happened to him. It was not hard to implant false memories. As far as he knows, I am his grandfather."
"Why would you care, I thought you hated Inu Yasha?"
"He is family, regardless of my feelings toward him," Sesshoumaru regarded Kagome with cool eyes for a moment, "Rin will want to contact you, she speaks of you often, and will be delighted when I inform her that you are here."
"Rin?" Kagome said, "You don't mean to tell me Rin is still alive. She was human, how can she still be alive?"
"Tenseiga had some abilities that even this Sesshoumaru was not aware of. Now that I have some questions answered, you may leave. I trust you will not bandy about what you know about my family. I would not like for people to know that we are youkai. It would not be acceptable in this world."
Kagome nodded, and stepped out of the vehicle.
"Take this," Sesshoumaru extended an elegant hand out of the limousine window, a small white square card in his fingers.
Kagome took the card from Sesshoumaru with both of her hands and looked at it. In embossed gold leaf was a number, no name, no address just a number.
"If you need to contact me, you may do so," Sesshoumaru said, "I do want Inu Yasha to be happy. He will not be happy with Kikyou," Sesshoumaru raised his eyes to meet Kagome's, "but I think he would be happy with you." Then the limo pulled away, and Kagome watched it until it moved out of site.
I want to thank everyone who sent me reviews!
Silver Dragon 2488, Thanks for the tips, I have seen so many different spellings for translated words. I think I like the spelling youkai, more than youki. It has a better flavor to it. ( How is my descriptive stuff? I am looking for a balance of giving descriptions, and getting to the point and on with the story. I have a tendency to be a bit of a minimalist. Your reviews were really helpful.
AmimeGirl. *GRIN* Thanks.
small fry. I hope this chapter answered a few of you questions. *grin*
Elianora. I will update as much as I can. I'm glad you like the story.
Lavande. I'm happy that you're enjoying this story. Ummmm. I don't mean to sound silly, but what does a/u mean?
Arianna. Here you go, it's not very long, but it is an update.
I know that this update is not very long, but it is an important one. I am pleased to announce that I have an ending to this story. I am going to be re-writing a ton of chapters that I already have written. (Don't worry, I'm not re-writing any that I have already posted) I really like where this story is taking me, and I hope every one else likes it too. Please review. Your reviews really make my day, and inspire me. The more I get the more I want to get the next update out.
