(Disclaimer: If I owned anything of importance, I could actually pay somebody to come up with titles for my fics. And, if I DID come up with Sailor Moon or Inuyasha or any of either's characters, then I'd be rich enough to afford someone who could come up with a title for this fic, but, seeing as this is a FANfiction, why, if I was to own any of the mentioned animes, would I be typing such? So, with that said, you get the picture.)
Hmmm. . . . .*glances at reviews* Not as many as last time, I see. . . . .Oh well. *shrug* There were actually about as many. ^__^
Okay, no flames for this fic the last time I checked. Yay! *dancedance*
Erm. . . .Back on track. . . . . . .I want to thank everyone who reviewed, and to all of you nice reviewers, the bags of plushies are over in the corner, with labels on what anime characters are in which. I think I stuck a few real-life bishies in there, too. *nodnod*
Okay, now, onto the fic! Oh, wait, I need to do review responses. . . . .Tee hee. . . .*sweatdrop*
Chapter one responses:
Sadie Joyce Myst Lady -Yosh, thanks! And yes, true true.
The thing that happened to my Hotaru/Ash fic is. . . . . .Writer's block came up and knocked me unconcious, therefore making me forget any ideas on how to make a path for my fic to go on. *sigh* But hey, what's a girl to do? I'll try to update that eventually, if not re-write the last few chapters.
libra071988 - O.o Gee. . . . .You really think this rocks? Wow, thanks! Yes, yes, I know, I see the point.

Chapter two responses:
Angel-eyes56 - Okay, okay, you've convinced me! I'll make it a romance already, sheesh.

XD Oooh, nice pairing suggestion. *grin* I think that could be pretty interesting, maybe I'll do another fic on it someday (if this does turn out to have Rei/Sesshoumaru). Poor you, though, 'cause you're nearly alone on this vote. *pats your head* Well, maybe I'll just have to make another fic dedicated to the pair you suggested sometime!
Meta Lise - Okay, let's see where this'll head in the romance parts. *strikes a pose*
*whistle* Well, since so many people want some lovin' in this fic, there will be some! . . . . .Not in the hentai, R-rated matter, though, you perverted people.
Aww, eww, y'know what I found in my tea after I woke up from my nap Friday? (slow song. . .By Ayumi Hamasaki, called Dearest. . .Sleepy. . . . .)? *sigh* A big ol' misquito in my tea!! Ewww.
*******
Votes for pairings!!! Polls still open to those who HAVEN'T voted! If you have, then you can't vote again. And, it appears the Rei/Sesshoumaru pairing is in the lead!!
Rei/Inuyasha - 3
Rei/Sesshoumaru - 6
Rei/Sango (O.o) - 1
Rei/Kouga - 1
Kagome/Inuyasha - 3
Sesshoumaru/Rin (O.o Why the heck would he get with her?? She's just a kid, dang. . . . ) - 1
*******
Rei quietly sat in front of a glowing fire, silently watchin the flames burst up and dance around the air.
Stuck in the middle of Sengoku Jidai with Kagome and company wasn't all that bad, Rei could deal with anything thrown at her, she could outlive anything in this place and beat them up no problem. . . .Well, at least she hoped she could.
Kagome had wanted her to go home, but Inuyasha had wanted to get on with the journey and insisted that she either stayed with Kaede in the village or come with them.
Rei hadn't wanted to go at first, but when she refused, Inuyasha had asked if she was afraid of all the big bad demons running around, which got her short fuse flaring dangerously. In an attempt to prove herself stronger than Inuyasha assumed she was, she gladly accepted, just to spite him and show him what she could do.
And now she was stuck, dirty in these old robes from that dead woman Kikyou- which greatly disturbed her-and traveling around this old Japan.
Life at this moment sucked.
Yawning, Rei stood up.
"I'm beat, night folks."she yawned again, "I just need to wash up a little and then I'll be back."
"Okay, goodnight Rei!"Kagome said cheerfully, waving the girl off to wash up.
"YEah, see everyone in the morning."Rei said, heading off to a nearby stream to wash up.
Arriving at the stream, Rei sat down and tore some cloth from her outfit, dipping it in the water and pulling it out, wringing out the cloth and wetting her face with her. She'd have to deal with cleaning her face like this for a while, so who cared what she did. . . . . .
Whoah, wait, were those footsteps behind her? Rei perked up as her ears caught the noise, ever so quiet yet still there.
Eyes narrowing, her hand automatically reached for her henshin stick and pulling it out, ready to use it at any given moment.
Rei kept watching out of the corner of her eyes, in complete aware mode, ready for anything, and pretended not to notice anything for a moment.
After a few moments of silence, Rei slowly turned her head, not really afraid of whatever was in the bushes.
"Come out!"she calmly spoke, "I know you're there!"
The bushes made no sound, the only sound being that of Rei's soft breathing and the stream's water.
With a low sigh of frustration at whoever, or whatever, was playing hide- and-seek with her in the bushes, she stood up and walked into the bushes, scanning for anything that made the noise.
After a bit of walking around, she found a young girl sitting against a tree, some of her black hair tied up in a ponytail on the side of her head. She was staring up at Rei with wide, brown eyes and had several missing teeth, from what Rei could tell from the way her mouth hung open.
"Who are you?"Rei asked, bending down to ask the girl in her nicest voice.
"Rin."the girl replied.
"Rin, eh? Nice to meet you. What are you doing out here all alone?"
"Sesshoumaru-sama sent Rin out to get firewood."Rin replied, speaking in third-person, reminding Rei of Chibi-Chibi with a wider vocabulary.
"Well, I see you have some. . . . .So why don't you go back to your camp?"Rei asked.
"R-rin doesn't know the way back. Rin is lost."Rin replied, hanging her head. "If Rin doesn't get back soon, Sesshoumaru-sama might get mad."
Rei blinked. "Well. . . . .I could help you find your way back if you want."
"O-okay."Rin murmmered, grabbing the firewood she had collected from the ground, Rei helping her by grabbing a few herself, and trailing in front of the girl, holding one of her hands.
After a bit of walking, a warm light caught Rei's attention and she asked Rin if this was her camp. Rin nodded.
"Want me to walk you into camp?"Rei asked, "To help you carry in the firewood, of course."
"Um. . . .Rin doesn't know if Sesshoumaru-sama will allow it."Rin hesitated.
Rei gave the young girl a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I can handle myself, and I can hlep you if I need to."
"Y-yes, ma'am."
Rei smiled and followed Rin into the camp, where Rei paused, staring at the people seated around the campfire. . . .Well, at least the semi-people.
There was an ugly little toad poking at the fire, trying to keep the flames large.
Then there was this. . . .Man, as much as Rei could determine from the way his eyes held the stubborn 'I'm all high and mighty' that most men she knew wore. He was. . . .breathtaking.
Rei blinked.
'Breathtaking? What the heck am I thinking?'
He held an air of grace and poise about him that demanded respect, no matter what, it seemed.
"Sesshoumaru-sama. . . . ."Rin squeaked, placing the firewood at the feet of the toad before running up to him, "Rin made a friend!"
Sesshoumaru stared at Rin for a second before slowly turning his head, in the most graceful way, Rei noted, towards Rei, as if just now acknoledging her prescence.
"Who are you?"he demanded, his voice giving way that he was indeed a man.
"I am. . . . .Rei."Rei said slowly, not sure if she should exactly trust such a. . . . .cold man. 'He seems dangerous.'
"Give me your full name, woman."he commanded.
Rei stared back defiantly at him before starting, "I don't think I should just give you my name, I mean, I've just met you! Why should I trust you enough to give you my name?"
Sesshoumaru just stared icily back at her, not even fazing her.
"You dare defy me?"he asked finally.
"Yeah, what about it?"Rei shot back, glaring at him.
"No human has lived long after defying me. . . . ."he said.
Rei blinked. Well, she wasn't exactly human, so. . . .
"What if I'm not exactly the most human?"she asked.
"I do not smell any demon in you, so you are human in my eyes."
"Well, I'm not completely human, bud! And I'll glady wipe the floor, er, dirt with you if I had the time!"Rei said, her firey temper beginning to flare.
Sesshoumaru just gave her an odd look this time.
"What?! What did I say?! Is something funny?!"Rei demanded, glaring at him.
"I'm the Lord of the Western lands, woman, and I'd gladly like to see you try and 'wipe the dirt' with me."he said, an amused glint in his eyes.
Rei fumed even more. This guy got on her nerves!
"You-you. . . .Argh! You inconsiderate little. . . . .man! Argh! This is why I swore men away in the first place!! I'm leaving!"Rei fumed, stomping away.
Rei stopped storming away after finding she had absolutely no clue where she was. Cursing her idiocy, she looked around for any familiar landmarks. Sadly, there were none.
With a loud sigh of frustration, she debated on whether the change into her alter-ego or not, just to find her way back.
'Well',she pondered, 'They'll have to realize I've been gone for too long and, after a while, they'll start looking for me!'
Then she thought, 'Yeah, with Inuyasha being the basic leader, I doubt it. . . . .'
Grumping, she thought of other good options to find her way out of here.
"That's it! I'm going to kill that man next time I see him. . . . ."she decided, deciding that just going in a straight line will eventually lead her out of the forest.
Meanwhile, back at camp with the regular gang, Kagome was worried where Rei went.
"Where could she be? If she gets lost, or even worst, killed, then Grampa's gonna kill me! Mom's gonna kill me! Her friends and family are gonna kill me!"Kagome fretted. "She was my responsibility when she jumped down the well, so if anything happens to her, I'll get blamed!!!"
"Calm down! SHe'll be back just fine."Inuyasha grumped.
"Yeah, that's comforting coming from you."Kagome shot back.
"I'm sure she'll return just fine, Kagome."Sango offered. "I'm perfectly sure she can take care of herself just fine."
"Well, she is Sailor Mars and all, so I guess she can. . . . ."Kagome said.
*******
Deciding to follow the rule of safety first, Rei had changed into Sailor Mars, for her own safety. Unbeknownst to her, it just attracted a few demons to her.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"Sailor Mars cried out, her firey arrow piercing through the evil demon's heart.
"Burning Mandela!"she yelled, the rings of fire circling her before shooting out at the multiple remaining targets and destorying them.
As the last of the demons disinigrated into nothing more than a mere pile of ashes, Mars looked around, carefully scanning the trees and bushes to make sure nothing was there.
Satisfied that there was nothing more there, she continued walking, poised and ready to dust anything else that got in her way.
"You."a new voice said, startling her a bit.
Spinning around, Mars looked around for the source of the voice, only to find no owner.
"Who's there?!"she asked, glaring around the forest surrounding her.
"Take a guess."
Mars blinked. She didn't know anyone from this time besides the people she'd met up with already!
"Just tell me who you are!!"she demanded.
"Not yet."
Mars growled in frustration before stalking off to try and excape the voice.
*******
So, who is 'The Voice'? Anyone want to take a wild guess?? Huh? Not even I know for sure, and I'm the one writing this thing! XD Well, I wonder on who I should decide it should be. . . . . . . . . .*pauses in thought*
Then again, take a guess on who it is, and then I'll see on who I want it to be. XD
Okay, so I am going to leave you all now, just hanging in suspense, wondering who 'The Voice' is.
Ja ne, minna-san! *Waves*

"Who's there?!"she asked, glaring around the forest surrounding her.
"Take a guess."
Mars blinked. She didn't know anyone from this time besides the people she'd met up with already!
"Just tell me who you are!!"she demanded.
"Not yet."
Mars growled in frustration before stalking off to try and excape the voice.
*******
So, who is 'The Voice'? Anyone want to take a wild guess?? Huh? Not even I know for sure, and I'm the one writing this thing! XD Well, I wonder on who I should decide it should be. . . . . . . . . .*pauses in thought*
Then again, take a guess on who it is, and then I'll see on who I want it to be. XD
Okay, so I am going to leave you all now, just hanging in suspense, wondering who 'The Voice' is.
Ja ne, minna-san! *Waves*
