Chapter Two.
Sesshomaru emerged from the well in the early morning. He looked around at this strange little building which surrounded him. It was not the same open field, which he'd been in previously, and yet there was something unmistakably familiar about his surroundings. He and Rin and Jaken climbed out and went outside together.
"There is the same tree to which Inu-yasha was bound and yet this is not the same world in which we came from." He said looking at the house and shrine on the grounds. Overhead a plane flew by and cars honked their horns out on the busy highway down the slope of the hill. This was indeed a strange place, which Inu-yasha had fled to. As Sesshomaru exited the well house, the front door of the house opened and out stepped Kagome, Inu-yasha, Sango, Miroku, and Eri.
"So how did meeting Eri's parent's go last night?" Inu-yasha asked.
"Not so good, they freaked when they found out what we'd done, but after they got over the initial shock they hated me." Miroku replied.
"Just need time to get use to you." Eri told him. Just then she looked over towards the well house and she screamed. "EEEEEEEPPP!!!" Kagome and the others all turned and beheld Sesshomaru standing with his hand gripping the hilt of his sword.
"You!" Inu-yasha exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"
"I've missed you too little brother." Sesshomaru said and then drew his sword. "Surely you didn't think that running away to this strange world would save you?" Just then Sesshomaru noticed the way that Inu-yasha was dressed. He was no longer attired in his red kimono but in the strangest looking modern clothes. He was dressed in a flannel work shirt, blue jeans, and brown, muddy work boots. "I suppose that running away was the least of your concerns. This modern dress you have adopted, tell me, does it appeal to you that much?" He asked.
"I didn't run away." Inu-yasha replied, drawing his own sword. "I think it's finally time for the two of us to end this all." Inu-yasha ran and leaped up into the air, bringing the Tetsusaiga down hard against Tokijen. As the two brothers clashed, Kagome and Eri were rushed inside by Sango and Miroku.
"Stay in here." Sango warned. "Sesshomaru is not easily defeated, and we don't want anything to happen to the two of you."
"But wait!" Kagome cried, but Sango didn't give her time, she slammed the door, and sealed it shut behind her. Then she and Miroku went to join Inu-yasha in battle. Shippo climbed up on a near by tree branch and watched as the three of friends engaged the mighty Sesshomaru. He could barely stand to watch as they were hurled backwards by the fury of his blows.
"I've got to do something." Shippo said to himself and thought of how he might distract Sesshormaru. "I know!" He cried and leaped down onto Sesshormaru's shoulder. He quickly unfastened his armor and took off with it down the steps.
"Little pest!" Sesshomaru cried and whirled his whip at the little fox cub. He struck poor Shippo and sent him flying through the air. This was enough of a distraction though for Sango to use her hiraikotsu. She leaped up into the air and hurled the giant weapon as hard as she could at Sesshormaru. It struck him and he fell to the ground. That's when Inu-yasah came at him with the Tetsusaiga. Sesshomaru quickly raised his own sword in defense and that's when his Tenseiga reacted once again to save his life. The sword began to pulse and threw Inu-yasha backwards into the air. He landed on his feet and braced as another wave hit him.
"Stupid Tenseiga!" He shouted. "Stop hiding behind that sword and come face me, Sesshomaru!" Sesshomaru was weakened though. He struggled to rise to his feet. Seeing this, Rin came running from the well house to his side. "What the… Who's that you have there with you Sesshormaru?" Inu-yasha asked him.
"None of your concern." He replied, bracing himself on the young girl's shoulder. Jaken came running too. The three of them presented quite a perplexing site to them all. "I think we've had enough fun for today, little brother. I'll come see you again, once I've recovered, and once I've finished setting up house keeping."
"House keeping?" Sango asked. "Surely you don't mean…?"
"That's right, I've decided to stay here, in the modern age. I've quite missed you all so very much." Sesshomaru smiled a wicked smile then he, Rin, and Jaken vanished into the trees. Inu-yasha ran back to the house and opened the door.
"Are you okay?" He demanded from Kagome.
"Uh, yeah, you guys slammed me in here pretty hard, but I'm fine. Inu-yasha, what's the big idea of not letting me help you?" Kagome wanted to know.
"You can't do that dangerous stuff anymore you stupid girl. You're having a baby!" Inu-yasha yelled. "I won't let you or our child near anymore dangerous situations. That's why I left the Feudal Era behind remember?" Kagome was taken aback. She had never seen Inu-yasha this concerned for her before. It was a strange thing for him to get so riled over her. He didn't do it much but when he did, it made Kagome feel safe, and she didn't want to let him down by getting herself hurt. Not now anyways.
"I'm sorry." Kagome said looking ashamed of herself. Deep down inside she knew he was right.
"So guys!" Eri cried. "What are we going to do now, that fellow Sesshomaru is in our time now, so what's our next move?" None of them knew. This was a totally unforeseen development. None of them had any clue what to do.
"There's nothing we can do," Inu-yasha said. "Sesshomaru's here now, and I have to go to work."
