Title: Not like the other girls

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha; neither do I own Sailor Moon.

AN: Okay, it took me a while to update and I'm sorry. I had some nasty virus on my computer and couldn't go online since one week. Oo Fortunatley a friend of my father could help us and now everything is back to normal apart from the fact that I need a passoword to go online. Luckily I know it because my father isn't very creative. Who would guess he would use his own name?

Chapter 13 – Going to the village

"Who was he?" Mina asked curious.

"His name's Sesshoumaru." Kagome answered. "He's Inuyasha's older brother; his half brother actually. They can't stand each other."

"Obviously." Rei noticed when she thought about the fight the two had just a few hours ago. "Why is it that they hate each other to death?"

Kagome sighed. "Sesshoumaru is a full demon and Inuyasha is only a half demon. Inuyasha's mother was a human and Sesshoumaru doesn't like them. The fact that Inuyasha has Tetsusaiga is bothering Sesshoumaru to death; in fact his sword, Tensaiga, is made for healing dead humans."

"Damn coincidence." Mina noticed smiling.

"Well, even though he once saved a small girl named Rin." Kagome stated. "I have no idea why he did so; maybe he wanted to test Tensaiga but since he saved her she follows him and he doesn't seem to have a problem with that."

"This guy is a living contradiction." Rei said. "Why should he save a small child?"

Kagome shrugged. "I have no idea."

"What happened to her anyway? I mean why was she dead?" Serena asked.

"Well, we don't know . . . and I don't have the need to start a conversation with Sesshoumaru about humans after all I'm one too; I don't want to commit suicide." Kagome stood up.

Luna raised her head. "Where are you going?"

Kagome turned around. "I'm searching for the others, we should keep going and search for Naraku."

The four girls on the ground nodded and started to pack their things.

Lita was leaning against a tree which was positioned some meters away from the fire place. She stared into the blue sky. There were no clouds and the birds were chirping happily as if the world was perfect; though it wasn't.

"Hey Li."

She turned around, seeing Miroku walking towards her. She tried to smile. "Hey."

"Kagome suggested that we should keep going."

Lita nodded and looked back into the sky. "Something seems to bother you and I wonder what it is. I believe it has something to do with the thing that happened between Kagome and Inuyasha."

"I don't know what you mean." Miroku said placing himself beside her.

Lita faced him with an angry look in her eyes. "I've been watching you lately. You're staring your Kazaana all the time, Kagome was crying and Inuyasha embraced her and only some minutes ago she said that we don't have time for those 'games'. So what game is this? You owe me the truth!"

Miroku sighed. "I'm . . . I'm going to die."

Lita raised an eyebrow. "I know that."

"No, you don't." He faced the ground. "It'll happen soon."

"What are you saying?" Lita asked confused.

Miroku looked at her. "I can feel it, that's what I told Inuyasha; that's why he was embracing Kagome." Lita didn't understand what he was telling her until he took her hand. Her eyes widened at the sudden contact. "Are you saying that you're going to die before we even get the chance to kill Naraku?"

Miroku nodded lightly. "Maybe."

"But . . . ." Lita stuttered searching for words. "I thought we could go back to my time when this is over." She felt like her heart had been ripped out of her body. "You should've told me earlier."

"I know but . . . ."

"But what?" Lita looked at him and although she was crying her eyes showed hate. "I thought you loved me."

"I do." Miroku put his arms around her. "I was afraid of telling you. Besides I didn't want to bother you with my problems. You always pretend to be strong, but I know you aren't strong the whole time." He gently stroked her back, making her relax a bit more.

"Don't you think this makes me stronger?" She asked. "Knowing you'll die if we can't kill Naraku?"

The monk took a deep breath. "I'm really sorry that I lied to you."

"I know." Lita tried to smile. "But even though you should have told me! I know you nearly for my whole life; we never had any secrets from each other; until now. Remember that you promised not to leave me this time? What now?"

"We still will defeat him in time." Miroku answered her calmly. "I know that we will have enough time that we can spend together. Your friends are here to help us, we're stronger than we were before; we just have to find Naraku . . . and we will."

Lita closed her eyes when she leaned her head against Miroku's shoulder. The couple sat there like this for what seemed like hours just embracing each other without saying anything.

One hour later the small group of people was on their way to Kaede's village.

Kagome had noticed that Lita and Miroku had been quiet for some time now; as well Lita seemed to be lost in her thoughts.

Kagome didn't pay attention to what was happening in front of her anymore until she bumped into Inuyasha and fell on her butt. "Ow."

Everyone turned around to look at her. Inuyasha faced her angrily. "Can't you watch where you're going?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention."

"I felt that." Inuyasha noticed and helped her up.

Kagome looked at the hanyou suspicious. Normally he would have left me lying on the ground. "Thank you." She said.

Inuyasha growled and moved on.

Kagome sighed and dusted off her clothes. "How could I ever think he might become friendly?" She asked herself quietly.

"Maybe because he does become friendly." Serena noticed with a grin. She, the two moon cats and the other senshis minus Lita started to follow Inuyasha.

Lita walked to Kagome's side. "It's just like I told you." Kagome turned to her brunette friend. "He loves you."

Miroku snickered at Kagome's shocked impression, but became quiet when it turned into a death glare. Lita smiled and watched Kagome walking away angrily. She turned to Miroku. "Don't be mad with her. I believe she doesn't know her feelings for Inuyasha herself so far."

The monk nodded and sighed as silent as he could, but Lita heard it anyway. She faced him with crossed arms in front of her chest. "Do you know anything about what's going on between them?"

"No." And with that he left Lita alone.

In the evening Serena and her friends sat in a small hut and ate some food the villagers had brought them.

All of the villagers acted like it was nothing special for them to have guest from another time. Serena and her friends were sure it had to do something with the fact that Kagome had been in the village more often since she travelled between the times.

Serena didn't really bother. She had something to eat and that was all that mattered for her right now and the second thing that was important for her was that they would sleep inside a hut, which mean that there was a roof above their heads and they won't get wet if it would start raining in the night.

Meanwhile Lita and the others were in Kaede's hut. They had told her about Lita, her friends and Lita's mother. Kaede listen silent. When Kagome had stopped telling what had happen, Kaede turned to Lita. "Your mother? You said she was from this time?"

Lita nodded. "Yeah, but everyone acted like they didn't know her when I asked them. I mean, all the time I have been here while I became older I asked all the people in the villages around. Someone must have known her; after all she has been born in one of these villages." Lita made a short pause. "It is like no one wants to remember her."

"Mhm, I see."

Lita's eyes brightened up. "Does this mean you know something about her?"

"I don't just know something about her but I also know her personally." Kaede put a smile on her face. Everyone in the hut stared at her and waited for her to continue.

"Do you think this old woman can help us?" Mina asked her friends.

Rei shrugged. "Well, why not? At least she maybe can tell Lita about her mother."

Serena, who was still eating, stopped for a moment and faced the senshi of fire. "Her mother?"

"Didn't you pay attention when Lita told us how she met Miroku?"

"Um."

Rei sighed. "Just like I had imagined."

Ami chuckled and looked around. "I hope we can help them to kill this Naraku; and maybe we can stay here for some time. I need to do a report for history and what would be better for it if you saw everything in real than read it in books?"

Mina raised an eyebrow. "You always think about school, don't you?" Ami blushed lightly and faced the ground.

"After all she cares about her grades not just like other persons." Luna said trying to defend Ami, her view lingering on the two blondes.

Rei started to laugh when she looked into the embarrassed faces of the two. This is going to be fun. She thought.

I apologize if there are mistakes but the feature to correct the text isn't installed yet and I don't know on which of all the cd's it is. I hope I can get it installed the next days, but the new chapter has to wait even though: I have to do the theory test for my drivers licence next week and so I have to learn a lot.

Stay tuned until next time and have a happy new year!!!

"Don't hurt her . . . I want her alive and safe."
