Where am I?
Sesshoumaru questioned himself as he pushed himself up from the ground. He looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings tensely. Getting reading for an attack of some sort, or a threatening situation, Sesshoumaru reached for his weapon, until…
"Hello!" a voice called out brightly. Sesshoumaru jumped, turned around and frowned. What he saw was not threatening, nor was it dangerous, it was a human Miko. She was around 18, had wavy black hair, bright calm eyes and a sweet smile. What caught his sight was the strange marking on her forehead.
No! Impossible! It's Midoriko! Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed. If this is Midoriko, and she is not in the cave, that means…I've got transported…? No, not me, it cannot be…it must be a mistake; the true demon from the prophecy must have been near the caves while I was in it, so I got transported too…but wait…what about that…ghost? Sesshomaru turned his back to the girl known as Midoriko. He lowered his head, shadows covered his eyes, and Sesshoumaru slowly walked towards the forest, which was near by.
"Wha-? Wait – hey – you – uh…with the…er…armor and the fluffy thing!!!"
Sesshoumaru growled and continued to walk, he spoke in a voice that was almost dead. "Leave me be."
Midoriko was definitely NOT convinced, nor was she ready to let the stranger walk away without any explanation of the sudden appearance out of nowhere. She blinked in confusion; for she felt like she knew him from somewhere. Midoriko ran up in front of the stranger, reached out and lifted the white-haired stranger's head up, so the face was properly shown, only to reveal an evil yet almost holy looking face with 2 scar-like markings on each side. On the forehead was a black crescent moon, below that, a pair of mysterious yellow eyes, a perfect nose and a slightly frowning mouth.
Midoriko gasped in surprise, "you're a Inu Youkai?" her eyes widened in amazement. She should have run, for it has been passed down that human formed demons are the most deadly kind. Yet this one is different, in a way Midoriko cannot describe…
Sesshoumaru glared icily at her. He took a step back and growled again as he disappeared, leaving no trace that he ever exists, but Midoriko knew better then to tell an elder of such a calm demon as he is. Plus, Midoriko thought, she would get a scolding too…
'Until we meet again, Midoriko…' an echo rang through the forest, an echo only She can hear…

"Mew!!!"
Midoriko looked up, a giant Neko Youkai ran up to her, the creature head butted the Miko and turned back into it's little form: a kawaii little stuffed animal like Youkai.
"Mew…"
Midoriko bent down to pet the Youkai, who wiggled happily.
"Guess what Kirara?"
"Mew…?"
"I met a Youkai today…a Inu Youkai…" Kirara growled slightly and the fur on her neck stood up, then Midoriko continued.
"No he wasn't all bad, he was one of those human looking Youkais…no Kirara, stop growling…he wasn't dangerous…" Kirara looked up at her owner, confused. "He looked a lot like the head of the Inu Youkai tribe from the West…what's his name…Inu…Inu…Inutaisho? I think that's it…" Midoriko tapped her chin thoughtfully as she tried to remember the looks of both Inutaisho and he new demon she met…
"They looked different…Inutaisho had his hair up in a high top knot, while the other demon had it down. Inutaisho has more armor then him though…yes they look A LOT alike…especially the fluffy thing…the tail? The demon I met is almost like he was a zombie! His skin was cold and his eyes were cold…his expression, is even more dead then the demons we've slain…though I'm still surprised about the fluffy tail…"
Kirara mewed and chased her own tails. She caught it, causing her to trip and stumble over. Kirara blinked in surprise, jumped up again and shook the dust out of her fur. Midoriko Laughed.
Neko Youkais can be so weird sometimes…they seem clueless, yet smart…they don't have to worry about a thing in life…I wish I was like that…Midoriko laid down and gazed dreamily at nothing in particular, until she realized that instead of the blue sky, a face was looking down on her, an eyebrow raised in amusement. It was the demon from earlier!
"You!" She gasped, sitting up.
Sesshoumaru nodded. "I am Sesshoumaru, the Lord – or future lord as of this time – of the Western Lands. You may call me Sesshoumaru-sama."
Kirara growled, the hair on the back of her neck rose up once again. In return, Sesshoumaru gave an icy glare that send Kirara whimpering. Satisfied, Sesshoumaru turned to Midoriko. "We need to talk…" he said, his eyes deadly serious.
"Er…o-okay…" Midoriko gulped. "Stay here Kirara…" She called to her Neko.
"That thing has a name? You have a pet Youkai? Humans, such weird creatures…" His eyebrow rose again of amusement. Midoriko felt anger rise up.
"Ok, Sesshoumaru-sama so you don't like humans, you don't have to start-"
"That's enough out of you." The calm Youkai interrupted rudely, and sighed. "Since I am here to make…a 'deal' with you, I am going to tell you about the situation. Lets begin with me and why I am here. I am no ordinary Demon," Sesshoumaru paused, "I'm here from the future…"
