Anne had nearly let her secret slip when she recognized the time period
that the rug came from. 'Sesshomaru has several just like that in his
castle' she thought. However she just smiled (which she didn't do very
often) "Why Kagome, it matched my color scheme perfectly!" Anne was deep
in thought. 'Could that be a family heirloom? She is from Japan after
all. It is odd though that her name is Kagome and that she has things from
over five hundred years ago.'
They spread the rug out on the floor, and then started putting the clothes away. Anne never again lost control; however, she was mentally compiling a list of questions to ask Sesshomaru this weekend.
~~~~~~~~~ On with chapter 2 ~~~~~~~~~
Chapter 2 Where is she from? Back in the Feudal Era!
Kagome looked about her room from her perch on the top bunk, and sighed from a mix of emotions. 'I've always wanted to be an exchange student. So why am I so lonely? I miss Momma and Souta, but why do I wish I could see Inuyasha. He made his choice, and I hope that Kikyo can make him happy.' As she recalled her last meeting with Inuyasha, she broke into tears. But she quickly stopped when she noticed that Anne had walked into the room.
Anne stared at her upset roommate, and she was completely confused. 'She is always so cheerful,' thought Anne, 'so I wonder why she is crying now? Does she miss her home in Japan?' Anne merely smiled at Kagome, and walked over to her desk. The two had gotten along splendidly these last few days, and part of Anne wanted to stay. However, she had too many questions to not go and see Sesshomaru. Sighing she looked up at her new roommate, and gathered her resolve.
Feeling eyes upon her, Kagome looked at Anne. "Is there something I can do for you?" Kagome asked politely.
Anne shook her head. "Kagome, I always go visit my family on the weekends. So you will be on your own for the next couple of days. Kagome glanced at her watch and noted that is was quarter after three. Anne had just gotten back from her last class, and obviously intended to leave soon.
Kagome nodded in understanding, and secretly wished that she could go home to her family. She moved so that she could dangle her feet over the edge of the bed and chat with Anne as she packed. Her years of fighting along side of Inuyasha taught her to notice everything, and therefore Kagome carefully noted every item that went into Anne's bag. Toothbrush, hairbrush, two pairs of earrings, a necklace, one pair of socks, a rather tight pair of jeans, two spaghetti-strap shirts, one pair of underwear, one bra, one pair of socks, a sweater, a night gown, and a snickers candy bar. She was surprised that Anne was only packing supplies for one more day, when she would need two days worth of clothes.
Anne smiled as she rummaged through her closet. 'I want to pick out the sexiest outfit I can' thought Anne. She was thinking about Sesshomaru, and wanted to look her best. She finally decided on tight, low-cut, black slacks; brown boots that only rose to her ankle, but still covered by her slacks; and a low cut brown shirt. In Kagome's opinion, the outfit accented Anne's long brown hair and hazel eyes.
Once done changing Anne, grabbed her coat, smiled, and waved farewell to her roommate. As soon as she was outside, Anne put the coat on, and ran behind the building.
She ran for fifteen minutes, but stopped when she reached an old shack. In truth, it was an old green house that had been built around a well, but when the well mysteriously went dry it became too expensive to maintain. She pulled open the door, and immediately a pair of big strong arms knocked her over. Anne, recognized them as belonging to Sesshomaru, and so she playfully wrestled with him in the snow. But after a few minutes she decided to be serious.
"Sesshomaru, I must talk to you, but would feel safer doing it in your time." He smiled and nodded.
"I agree. Yours is far too cold for this time of year!" She grinned, but was not in the mood to explain to him about geographical differences. He got off of her, and helped her to her feet. Doing so, he couldn't help but notice her nice body and the form-fitting outfit that accentuated it.
Side by side, they walked to the well within the abandoned greenhouse. He grabbed Anne, and carrying bridal style, he jumped into the well. A blue light surrounded them, and they landed safely in feudal Japan.
Again, in one bound, Sesshomaru carried Anne out of the well. It was windy, and Anne nuzzled against his chest to try and stay warm. Sesshomaru smiled down at the girl that had stolen his heart, and saw that she had fallen asleep. He carried her into the castle, up the stairs, and into his room. He laid her down on his bed, and nuzzled against her subdued form. He was content to just feel her form lying next to him. Soon he too fell asleep. He and Anne both dreamed the same thing.
~~~dream~~~
"Daddy! Mommy!" Two children, one girl and one boy, who were playing in the garden ran towards Sesshomaru and Anne. They were Inu-youkai, and looked like their parents. The older, and boy, had his father's hair and eyes, but had his mother's round face. The girl was just the opposite.
As they ran toward their mother, Sesshomaru stepped forward and guarded her. He chuckled as children collided with him. "Hey! Hey! Calm down now! You know that your mom is pregnant. Be gentle." The girl gingerly took her mother's hand, and they headed toward a stream.
As Anne sat down, Sesshomaru unfolded a blanket and placed it on the ground. Just then a servant came and unloaded a basket full of food. The picnic was delicious, and everyone enjoyed the beautiful day outside.
~~~end dream~~~
Sesshomaru growled as he opened his eyes. 'Why did it have to be a dream?' He rolled over, but noticed that Anne was no longer by his side.
"So you are finally awake!" Anne giggled, as she watched him from a chair at the opposite end of the bedroom. He growled and, using his youkai speed, moved in front of her. She was about to protest, but he claimed her mouth in a hard passionate kiss. Startled, she moved away. "My dearest mate, I must ask you about Inuyasha."
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes. 'What could my brother have done now?' He sighed, nodded, and headed toward his library. Ann followed at a respectful distance. Once they arrived, Sesshomaru sat at his desk and motioned for Ann to sit across from him. He frowned, and then spoke in a seemingly unemotional tone. However, Ann could sense the hesitance in his voice.
"I have only ever spoken of Inuyasha once around you. So what about him has sparked your interest all of a sudden?" Ann inwardly smiled. She could tell that he was jealous, and trying to fight it.
"I am not curious about Inuyasha, but rather the miko that travels with." Sesshomaru visibly relaxed, and waited for her to continue. "When I first came through that well, you were badly injured. I stayed by you side all night. You tossed and turned, and continually called out for a girl named Kagome."
"Oh, that explains why you asked about her the next day." Ann nodded, "...but I only told you that she shot me with a purified arrow. How did you know that she traveled with Inuyasha?"
Ann replied matter-of-factly. "The servants said that you had been trying to steal Inuyasha's sword the day you were shot. At first I assumed that she shot you afterwards, but then I heard reports of you brother traveling with a monk, demon exterminator, AND a miko. It did not take long to figure out what happened that day." Sesshomaru nodded in appreciation of her ability to deduce. "My question to you, is do you know where she comes from?"
Sesshomaru was completely confused, but he did not show it. "All my brother ever said was that she came from a far away village called Tokyo. Do you know where that is?"
Ann smirked. "Not where it is, my love, but when!"
~~~~~~not long after Ann left her dorm~~~~~~
Kagome was sitting on her bunk lazily reading a book. She sighed, and thought of Inuyasha. She desperately missed him, and wished that she could see visit him while in America. She could almost hear him give his classic "Feh". Suddenly a bright white light shown out of nowhere, Kagome screamed. The light engulfed her body, and she continued to scream certain that she was going to die. She closed her eyes, and awaited the eternal bliss that she was sure that would come.
"WOULD YOU STOP SCREAMING!!!" 'Was that God? No, it was Inuyasha!' Just as she realized who spoke, she opened her eyes. Inexplicably, she was standing under the sacred tree and back in feudal Japan. She squealed with delight, and she turned and threw her arms around Inuyasha's neck. He was startled, but hugged her back.
"I'm so glad to see you! I missed you so much!" Inuyasha smiled and breathed in her flowery scent. Here was the perfect moment; he couldn't wait any long. So he nuzzled her neck and then pushed her away from him. Kagome was about to cry thinking that he was going to tell her that he had chosen Kikyo.
Inuyasha smiled. He knew what she was thinking, and to prove her wrong, he leaned in for a kiss. She gasped, and he took advantage of the opportunity. They stayed that way forever (really only about thirty seconds). Unfortunately the moment was ruined by and all too familiar cry.
"Hentai!" Inuyasha and Kagome laughed. Miroku was never going to learn. Kagome started to walk towards Kaede's hut, when Inuyasha pulled her back. Kagome looked up at him with loving eyes.
"I love you Inuyasha, but I need to know that you no longer go to Kikyo every night." She was worried that Inuyasha was going to be mad at her, but he only smiled.
"Kagome, I love YOU, and I always have. I just didn't know how to deal with my memories of Kikyo. She was the first person who was kind to me, but she wanted me to change. You love me for who I am, and that is far more precious then a few memories." Kagome was overjoyed, and kissed Inuyasha again. When they broke apart, she smiled up at him. He was more then happy, as he kissed her, and decided to ask her what he had wanted to ask her for some time now.
The two walked back toward the village, hand in hand. Just before they reached the edge, he stopped and looked at Kagome me. Only love shown in his eyes, and he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Will you be my mate?"
They spread the rug out on the floor, and then started putting the clothes away. Anne never again lost control; however, she was mentally compiling a list of questions to ask Sesshomaru this weekend.
