Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. I ain't makin' any money off this. I don't got money so don't sue me. heh
Author's Note: This is supposed to take place a little after Kohaku is kidnapped by Naraku. I haven't seen all of the episodes, yet, so I don't know how it went in the show.so I decided to just pick it up from knowing that Kohaku was kidnapped and take it from there. Jiang is supposed to have been a year ahead of Kagome in school, so she's already graduated and is on her own and working. Kagome's family knows what happened because Inuyasha came back to tell them and they covered up the well again when he left. Anyway, before I give away too much of the story I'll shut up and let you read. Hope y'all like it. *Please* review and let me know what ya think of it.what ya like and don't like and all that stuff! It really helps me know what to write and what not to write. Tankies! Enjoy!
Jiang followed Inuyasha's scent and stopped at the base of a tree. She looked up and saw him sitting on a branch, looking out over a field. "May I join you?" she asked after a moment.
"I don't care." Inuyasha said with a shrug. Jiang jumped up, landed on the branch he was on, and sat beside him but made sure she left space between them- knowing he liked his personal space.
"Um, I just wanted to apologize. I didn't know. Sango just told me about what happened. I'm sorry." she apologized. Inuyasha remained silent for a moment then glanced at her.
"Did you know her?" he asked.
"Kaggie was the closest thing I had to a friend. Nobody else wanted to bother with a half Irish half Japanese brat." she said, shifting so she looked human long enough for him to see, then went back to her normal hanyou features.
"How can you do that if you're hanyou?"
"My father's youkai blood lets me. My dad's friend taught me how." she explained. Inuyasha nodded, satisfied. "You're wondering how I knew how you are and why I called you 'Lord Inuyasha,' aren't you?"
"Yeah, that did confuse me. Only Myoga calls me that." he mused, finally looking at her.
"How much do you remember about your father, Lo- Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Not much. Sessoumaru remembers more than I do. All I really remember is that he was a big-shot dog demon. Myoga said that he was a Lord of something or other."
"Your father was one of the most powerful and respected youkai in Japan. Even youkai and hanyou of my time know who your father was. He was Lord of most of the land. When you were born he divided his land in two and gave your half brother- Sessoumaru- dominion over the Western Lands, making him Lord of the Western Lands. You, however, he trusted more- obvious since he entrusted you with his tomb and Tetsusaiga- so he gave you dominion over the Northern Lands which, if I remember my history correctly, Sessoumaru seized when Kikiyo bound you to Goshinboku." she explained.
"Sesshoumaru gave 'em back a while ago. He said he was trying to keep any other demons from taking what was our father's. With how he's been acting lately, I think I believe him." he said, looking out over the field again. They sat there in silence for a moment then Jiang caught a scent on the wind.
"Inuyasha, do you smell that? I smell youkai." she asked. Inuyasha sniffed the air for a moment then stood. Jiang followed suit and stood as well.
"It's Sesshoumaru. He's probably bringing Rin for a visit." he said then jumped down from the tree and ran towards the village, Jiang running beside him. "Hey, Kohaku. Sesshoumaru's coming with Rin." he announced when they got back to the others. Kohaku smiled as he came out of the hut, the others behind him. After a moment they saw four figures come out of the forest, walking towards them. Jiang sniffed the air, wondering why the scent suddenly smelled familiar to her. A couple minutes later the four figures- a rather tall man, a small girl, a two-headed creature, and a small toady creature- stopped in front of them. The girl smiled, went to Kohaku, and hugged him briefly.
"Hi, Rin." Kohaku said with a smile.
"Hello, Kohaku." Rin said, smiling. The two clasped hands and went into the hut.
"Behave yourself, Rin." the man- Sesshoumaru, Jiang assumed- told the girl with the slightest of smiles.
"Yes, My Lord." she said as she and Kohaku disappeared inside the hut.
"So, Inuyasha. How are you fairing, Brother?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"As well as I can right now." Inuyasha answered, folding his arms across his chest.
"Waitaminute!" Jiang cried as she finally realized why the man smelled familiar, surprising everyone else. Sesshoumaru looked at her, his shock at seeing her plain on his face.
"Jiang?" Sesshoumaru questioned, a genuine smile spreading across his face.
"Koji-Kun!" she cried, smiling as the two flung their arms around each other. Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Shippo all looked at them, their confusion quite obvious. "Kami-sama, Koji-Kun. It's been *years!*"
"It surely has been! Two years, I believe." he said, releasing her and stepping back to look her over.
"Yeah. So *this* is where you disappeared to! I wondered where you went! Why didn't you tell me you're the flipping Lord of the Western Lands?" she asked.
"Um, 'scuse me?" Inuyasha started.
"I did not want to be treated differently by you because of it. I could not risk running into my older self and finding out too much about my next 500 years." Sesshoumaru explained, ignoring Inuyasha.
"'Scuse me?" he repeated a little louder.
"Okay, that makes sense, but where've you been for the last two years? Why'd you just leave without saying "good-bye" to your best friend?" Jiang asked.
"I had intended on returning to explain and then Inuyasha was freed from the Goshinboku." Sesshoumaru started.
"HEY!" Inuyasha yelled. The two immediately fell silent and looked at him, wincing at the pain his voice had caused their ears. "Mind tellin' me how the hell you know my brother?"
"Calm yourself, Inuyasha." he said, laying a hand on his younger half- brother's shoulder. "In the two years before Kagome came through the well I because curious of the enchantment our father had told me was placed on it and decided to investigate for myself to see if it was true. I went through the well and ended up in Kagome and Jiang's time, disguised myself as a student in their school on Jiang's level. Eventually she ended up befriending me and becoming my best, and only, friend."
"After we graduated I got a job as a dancer in a club, where I still work, and Koji-Kun helped me keep the Bakas with wandering hands who wouldn't take 'no' for an answer away from me. One day, about two years ago, he just stopped showing up and I hadn't seen him since, until just now." Jiang finished, then looked at Sesshoumaru with a grin. "So, my best friend is Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands. Ain't that just the coolest?" Jiang and- to his brother's surprise- Sesshoumaru laughed at that.
