A/N: Unfortunately the internet was not working on my computer so I
couldn't update, but since my sister got a new Macintosh laptop her dell
laptop became mine and I finally got the internet installed on it. It took
so long because I had to get a disk from cablevision and unfortunately my
father does not have his license and works seven days a week so
arrangements had to be made to get the installation disk, also as we all
know public transportation is not that reliable. And then I figured out I
didn't need the disk and the laptop could not be connected to the modem by
a USB cord so I had to take two take three buses each way to best buy to
get an Ethernet cord. And now it works! I already have chapters 15 and 16
written so these next couple of updates should be speedy.
Thank you,
Ni-chan
Chapter 14: Back To The Future
Ai awoke in a bed, when she opened her eyes she almost thought she was dreaming because in the room was a television and through an open window she could hear what sounded like cars. The shooting pain that when throughout her body soon brought her back to reality and she realized that she was not dreaming at all. Ai looked down and saw that she was only wearing her under kimono and soon realized that her outer kimono was laying on a chair and that someone had taken the time to bandage her. When she heard the sound of someone's voice acknowledging that they had entered the room she jumped slightly.
"I didn't mean to startle you, my name's Kagome." Ai looked at the girl and decided it would be rude of her not to give her name, "I'm Ai". "I found you near the well and I recognized you from the times you've traveled with Sesshoumaru, you were really injured so I had Inuyasha take you to this time period. Are you from Sengoku Jidai?" "No, I'm from this time period, I fell into the past three years ago and I haven't been home since. Thank you for your kindness but I must go back and see how Rin is doing." Ai then made an attempt to stand and tried to make it to the chair where her kimono was but her legs gave out on her and Kagome had to help her sit down on the bed. "You can leave when you're fully healed; Inuyasha said it looked like you were attacked by Naraku." Ai nodded her head letting Kagome take this to mean that Inuyasha was correct in his assumption. "My mom hand washed your kimono, and I already explained everything to her, she made you breakfast if you want any." Even though she wanted to go back to Sengoku Jidai Ai still decided it was best to be polite, so she bowed her head and thanked Kagome for her kindness "Arigato Kagome-san."
After she finished breakfast, Ai laid back on the bed and sighed, she prayed Rin was safe and that hopefully the small girl had found her way to Sesshoumaru or visa versa, but she couldn't help but wonder if Sesshoumaru was worried about her. After she finished her thoughts Kagome walked in and sat down on the bed and almost instantaneously Ai leaned up against the headboard. There was a long stiff silence covering the room and Kagome decided that she was going to be the one to break it, "You looked familiar when I first saw you, maybe I've seen you around school before." Even though the seventeen year old companion of the great demon lord loathed small talk it was the least she could do for someone who had basically saved her life, "Maybe". "So are you Sesshoumaru's girlfriend?" Ai looked at the girl and thought 'well that's one way to ask a question, so much for small talk'. Then almost as if it were rehearsed she spit out an answer to her question "Are you Inuyasha's?" This question caused Kagome to blush and go into what seemed like a wave of nervous laughing.
Kagome apologized and soon decided that it was time to change the subject "What were you doing with Naraku?" "He kidnapped Rin-chan and I, and Sesshoumaru was less than a half an hour away but Naraku started to attack Rin and I took all of the attacks for her. I told her to run as fast as she could and when I had the opportunity I escaped but I collapsed near a well and blacked out." Kagome, who now had a better picture of the situation sympathized with the girl "Well I promise you can go back as soon as you're feeling better." With that statement still hanging in the air, Kagome smiled and stepped out of the room closing the door behind her. In the hallway she was seemingly bombarded by her little brother, Sota, who was asking her who the girl in the guest bedroom was. Kagome responded the simplest way she knew how, "She's a friend of Inuyasha's brother." Ai heard their little conversation and laid back down on the bed and decided to sleep. If she couldn't see Sesshoumaru and Rin, she could always see them in her dreams. Besides it was only a week, right?
