The Meeting



Kagome stepped in front of a huge house and looked down at the sheet of paper. 412 Bone Eaters drive, her mind lingered briefly at the fact that it had the same name as the well that she used to travel back in time in, but she quickly shook it off.

"His family owns this!?" Kagome gaped in awe, staring up at the huge mansion. It was practically a castle! "How rich can they possibly be?!" she thought as she walked up to the front step and rang the doorbell, a face soon appeared in the doorway which Kagome recognized immediately as Inu's.

"Hey! I didn't expect you to come over so soon! What do you want?"

"Um, well, I need to talk to you about something. Can I come in?"

"Sure! What do you want to talk about?" Inu said as Kagome took a look around, it was no less as grand on the outside as it was on the inside. There was a long, winding staircase leading up three stories, and almost everything in the house looked like an antique.

"I think it's better if we talk in private." Kagome said as her jaw dropped

"Then let's go up to my room, nothing more private than that." He said as he led her up the stairs.

"Brother! Who is this that you have brought to our humble abode?" said a naturally royal voice, which Kagome felt a definite hatred for.

"Sesshomaru!" She said with more than a hint of contempt.

"Have you told her about me already, brother?" The future Sesshomaru said.

"N-no, do you know him somehow, Kagome?"

"Uh, I've heard about him around school…"

"Well, I guess it doesn't really matter how she knows me, as long as she gets to know me better…" he said as he bent down and kissed her hand. Kagome almost gagged from just trying to imagine what he had planned, this whole family had their mind on other things.

"You'd never have your way with her, Sesshomaru, she's Inu's from what I hear around the college." Said another familiar voice, one that Kagome loathed as much as, if not more than, Sesshomaru, and she still somehow managed to keep her cool.

"What's your name, miss?" Kagome asked the former snake demon, resisting the urge to strangle her for what she had done.

"My name is…Aski, nice to meet you, um, what is your name miss, now that you know mine?"

"It's Kagome…uh… I think I've got to go now." She said hurriedly, responding to Inu pulling on her arm, halfway dragging her up the stairs.

"Nice to meet you!" She yelled, courteous as she could muster, halfway up the stairs.

Once they got to his room, she sat down on his bed, unzipped her backpack, and started pulling things out, like her bow, the pictures, and so on.

"What are you doing, Kagome?"

"Huh, oh, nothing, tell me what you think of this," she said, holding out a picture of InuYasha.

"Yeah, it's me, except with silver hair, what'd you do, use Photoshop?"

"Not really. Actually, this picture is from feudal Japan."

"Come on, I'm not that stupid. I know that there weren't cameras back then."

"Well, no, not naturally anyway…"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Uh, nothing, you know what this is, don't you?" she said, holding out her bow.

"Well duh. It's a bow, what of it?" He asked, wondering if she had come here just to treat him like an idiot.

"Will you go outside and fire an arrow from it?" She asked sweetly.

"Ookaay." He said, looking at her as if she was crazy, he opened a window and started climbing out on a tree limb.

"Aren't we going out the front door?"

"Why? So Sess can hit on you again?"

"Sess?"

"Sesshomaru, and anyways, the window is faster."

"Sure it is," Kagome said skeptically.

When they got down to the ground, Inu asked about why he was doing this again. Kagome replied simply, "because."

Inu grabbed the bow and one of the two arrows Kagome had brought with her.

"What do you want me to shoot?" he asked, taking aim.

"Nothing, just shoot into the air."

"Man, you are one crazy girl." He said as he shot an arrow up into the air.

"How was it?" Kagome asked him.

"A little tight, but other than that, just a ordinary bow."

"Now watch," she took the bow from him, notched an arrow, just like him, except she channeled her miko powers into it, she released the string and it flew up in a blaze of light.

"How the hell'd you do that?!" he yelled, hardly able to believe it, then a look of understanding came over his face. "Wait, I get it, you put phosphorous on the arrow didn't you?"

Kagome sighed heavily, "What would make this guy understand?" she thought to herself.

"And what are you two doing out here?" A smug voice snapped her out of her deep concentration.

"Um, uh…just looking at the stars…" Kagome said, pulling Inu closer, hiding the bow between them.

"…Uh, yeah, that's it. See Kagome, there's Taurus, the bull, and over there, that's Scorpio, the scorpion. Inu, catching on, ad-libbed.

"Oooo," Kagome pretended to be interested, ignoring the fact that she had seen all of these constellations before.

"Okay, but don't try anything, Inu." He said, eyeing him, a glint in his eye.

"Don't worry about him, he's a creep."

"I used to know a guy like him, very much like him to tell the truth."

"Anyways, since it's late, why don't you sleep in my house tonight, no rumors will get started that haven't already." He said, opening the door for her. They had decided on going through the front door, so as not to arouse suspicions from Sess.

"Sure, but, can I ask you a few questions more about your past self and me."

"Geez, are you still stuck on that? I swear, you'd be the perfect girl if not for the fact that you're crazy." They both laughed a little on that, although Inu hadn't completely meant it all as a joke.

"Hey! I just got an idea that'll prove I'm telling the truth." Kagome just hoped that he didn't need prayer beads or really care about having his face slammed in the ground.

So, how'd you like it? Is it good? Is it bad? You want it to go somewhere? Review and I'll get it. My offer still stands by the way, I will still work on your stories if you want me to, just email me an idea and I'll tell you what I think, Chasejulia@gaggle.net you can also send me something just to talk or something.
