Hello everyone, this is Tori. Listen I know that all of you loved my Caribbean Cruise fic and you are all probably wondering why it was deleted. One, it was because I had put up an author's note, two, I couldn't think of anything else to write for it, so instead, I decided to write a different fic. So, here it is. I hope that you will like it just as much as my Caribbean Cruise.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.
Chapter 1 Another time skipper'Damn, why is she always late?' Inuyasha thought while sitting atop Kaede's hut.
Kagome had gone back to her own time again to re-supply and get at least some of her schoolwork done.
With a low growl he jumped off of the roof and raced towards the well.
At that moment…'Oh no, I'm late! Inuyasha will definitely kill me now.' Kagome groaned and ran up the steps of the Higurashi shrine.
Inuyasha sat in the living room, cross-legged on the couch, watching Sota play his video game. ( Inu's thoughts- what is this? It's like two tiny men fighting in this small box?)
"Hey mom, I'm home!" Kagome's voice rang out through the house. Inuyasha's ears perked up as Kagome's soft voice and sweet Sakura scent caught him. He poked his head into the hallway to see Kagome taking off her shoes.
"Hey, just the person I wanted to see." He said happily.
"Oh! Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" She asked curiously.
"No duh, I came to get you when you didn't come back." Inuyasha said getting up and walking over to her.
"Well, I'm sorry I have other things to do." Kagome said sarcastically.
"Well you should be." He said.
"What! I apologized didn't I!" Kagome yelled.
"Yeah…well…Grr, fine, just-get your stuff so we can go."
"Inuyasha, why don't you stay tonight and go in the morning. Besides, we're having steak tonight." Mrs. Higurashi suggested.
"Really! Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to stay." Kagome giggled.
Meanwhile in the feudal era…
"Is Kagome alright! Is she coming back!" Shippo whined desperately.
"Of course Shippo, I saw Inuyasha leave earlier today to go get her." Sango said reassuringly. Shippo nodded and continued to stare down the well.
'Hurry back Kagome.'
Just then Hatchi showed up.
"Ma-ma-ma-master Miroku!" He shouted, scared out of his bloody mind.
"Hatchi, what are you doing here?" Miroku asked calmly.
"Ca-ca-c-ca-ca-ca-CATS! The Cats are back!" He shouted in utter parole.
"What!"
Back in Kagome's time…Kagome sat at her desk, in full pajamas, writing a report for her language class. Inuyasha lay on her bed, staring out the window.
'This place has Kagome's scent all over it.'
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, turning in her chair.
"Hm?"
"Well, I was thinking…um, well…Nevermind."
"What is it Kagome?" He asked curiously.
"Do you…like spending time with me?" She asked nervously, a slight tinge of pink crossing her face. Inuyasha looked at her in utter shock and confusion.
"Of course I do, what kind of a lame question is that?" He said a little annoyed. Kagome just smiled. She turned out the reading light and climbed into bed next to Inuyasha. He was a little unsure at first but he sat up at the edge of her bed, Tetsusiaga propped up against his well-muscled chest.
Kagome yawned and snuggled into the covers.
"Good night Inuyasha, sweet dreams, and…I like spending time with you too." Kagome whispered before sleep overcame her.
Inuyasha grinned to himself.
'Sweet Dreams Kagome.'
The next morning…Inuyasha jumped out of the well and sat on the edge.
"You okay Kagome?" Inuyasha asked offering his hand. She took it and he pulled her up.
"KAGOME!" Shippo cried jumping into the startled Kagome's arms.
"Shippo, Miroku, Sango, what's wrong?" Kagome asked concernedly.
"The Panther demons are back!" Shippo spit out.
"What!"
"Hatchi said they were coming."
"Damn it. What could they want now? They told me that they wouldn't return." Inuyasha growled.
"Well we lied." Came a cool female voice from the trees.
"Who's there! Show yourself!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Oh come now Inuyasha, are you saying you don't remember me?" Suddenly a fireball flew towards them. Inuyasha picked Kagome up and dodged the ball of fire.
"Tohron! Show yourself!" Inuyasha shouted. The Panther demon with fire red hair came out of the trees.
"Hello Inuyasha. It is nice to see you again." Tohron said.
"What do you want now?" He asked with anger.
"Chill out Inuyasha, we aren't here for your precious wench. There is a girl here and our prince demanded we bring her to him." Tohron said.
Inuyasha looked at her skeptically.
"Then why are you here?'
"Because she is here. Somewhere, and we will take her by force if we have too."
"Another human? But what would your demon lord want with a human?" Kagome questioned.
"He wants to…well, lets just say he wants her and he is willing to kill anyone who gets in his way." Tohron said flexing her cat-like claws.
"Kagome, I want you to go and find this human. I can hold her off here." Inuyasha said in a whisper.
"Are you sure?" Kagome asked nervously.
"Yeah! Now go!"
"But…"
"I said go!" Inuyasha yelled pushing her towards the forest. As Kagome started to run, one of the panther demons went after her. Inuyasha jumped in the way of the oncoming attack and gained a deep gash in his arm.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed.
"Go! I'll be fine." He said nodding. Kagome reluctantly continued into the forest.
'Please be alright Inuyasha.' The worry was starting to get to her. She would never find the person the panther's were looking for by herself anyway. Kagome turned around and started running back to the battlefield
"Inuyasha I'm coming!" Kagome shouted as she heard a small yelp that came from Inuyasha.
"Sango!" Kagome heard Miroku shout.
When she broke through the brush what she saw was made her scared.
"Inuyasha! Hang on! I'm coming!" Kagome shouted as she raced towards Inuyasha and the gang. Distracted by her sudden voice, Inuyasha was hit with one of Tohron's fireballs. Kagome ran up and knelt down next to the fallen Inuyasha.
"Kagome, I thought I told you to find that girl." He said weakly sitting up.
"I know I know but I was worried about you. Besides I don't have your nose and I don't sense any Shikon Jewel shards anywhere so how do you expect me to find this person?" Kagome said climbing onto his back, slinging her bow and arrows over her shoulder.
Inuyasha leapt into the air and drew Tetsusiaga.
"Ready Inuyasha?" Kagome asked stringing her bow.
"Always." He yelled.
"Wind Scar!" He yelled as he slashed at the air with Tetsusiaga. Kagome jumped off of his back and fired her arrow straight into the wind scar.
'Please hit.' Kagome thought anxiously, Kilala catching her in the air.
The wind scar/ Sacred Arrow combo flew towards Tohron, tarring up the ground as it went. Unfortunately for Inu and Kagome, Tohron dodged it with her cat-like reflexes. But it wasn't a total lose. The combined force of their attacks took out a great portion of the panther demons fighting.
"We want get what we want here, at least not now. Come, we shall leave." Tohron said before throwing a smoke bomb down and disappearing before them.
Inuyasha cursed under his breath and sheathed Tetsusiaga. Facing Kagome, he stormed up to her.
"What the hell were you thinking? I told you to go find that human!"
" I was worried okay! You can't blame me for worrying because…be…cause…I-I care about you." Kagome wouldn't look at him and her words were somewhat muffled.
Inuyasha looked down at her with eyes full of confusion.
'She was worried? Why would she worry, I'm fine?'
"Kagome?"
Miroku leaned over to Sango, who had Shippo perched on her shoulder and Kilala on the other.
"I think we should give them some time alone." He suggested. Sango nodded and they silently crept away.
"Inuyasha, you know me better than that. Friends are very important to me. No one can survive without friend, and…loved ones…"
"Yeah but…what if something had happened to you. What if you had gotten hurt?' Inuyasha stared straight at her.
" I…Nothing will happen to me, not as long as you're with me." Kagome argued softly. She stared into the confused face of the clueless hanyou.
"Kago…" Inuyasha was about to say something when they were interrupted by a scream coming from the woods. Kagome climbed onto Inuyasha's back and he took off at a sprint.
When they arrived at the scene, they spotted a girl, about Kagome's age. She had long Auburn brown hair. She was on the ground, unconscious. Defending her was Miroku and Sango, fighting off a hoard of demons.
"MIROKU, SANGO!" Kagome shouted as they landed. Inuyasha drew Tetsusiaga and unleashed the wind scar and all the demons were destroyed.
Kagome knelt down next to the girl and tapped her gently on the cheek.
"Hey, are you alright?" Slowly the girl opened her eyes and looked around.
Her eyes were an astonishing blue, pure sky blue to be exact. Miroku walked over behind Kagome and knelt down next to her.
"Are you alright miss?" He asked.
She looked up at him and nodded. Kagome helped her stand up.
Miroku checked her out up and down. (Described in a little bit of detail) She had Auburn brown hair that was long and reached the middle of her back. Her bangs were parted at the middle. She had a cute figure, like Kagome's figure, and a flat stomach.
"Ye-yes, I'm fine…I think. But, I…I don't know where I am, or what is happening, I tried using my cell phone but that doesn't work either, and I have been walking around for hours looking for someone to help me but…huh? Kagome?" The girl finally recognized her. She faced Kagome.
"(Gasp) Kagome it really is you! Then I'm not dead. Oh Kagome, I'm so glad that you found me. Where is this place? What's going on?" She asked.
Kagome looked at her for a second and then…
"Sakura? How on earth did you get here!" Kagome asked exasperated.
" I have no idea, one minute, I'm in the store house getting some blankets and the next, I'm falling through a blue light and landing on my butt hard, on the path. I tried to use my cell phone but I can't get any reception, next I was chased by a bunch of villagers to a clearing where a whole horde of demons were chasing me lead by a boy. He had on armor similar to hers." Sakura finished.
"A…boy?" Miroku looked to Sango. She had a foreboding expression on her face.
"Um…is he…your brother?" She asked. Sango looked up in surprise and nodded.
"Yes but, how did you know?"
"It was just a feeling." Suddenly Miroku took Sakura's hand into his.
Kagome made an "irk" face.
"Miss Sakura, I have a very important question I must ask you. Would you consider bearing my children?" Miroku asked sincerely. Kagome and Sango's faces contorted into utter disgust, Inuyasha stared at him with an 'Oh for the love of…' look, and Shippo rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Idiot." He muttered.
Sakura looked at him in a 'what the hell!
"Eh…(gets an evil look on her face) Sure I will…When HELL FREEZES OVER!" Sakura screamed, slamming her palm into his cheek.
A slap echoed through the forest.
Sakura looked at the stunned Miroku.
"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.
"Don't be sorry Sakura, You saved him a hit on the head from Hirakotsu." Sango said angrily, walking up with her giant boomerang.
"That's quite alright." Miroku said rubbing his cheek.
"I'm sorry anyway, but…who asks a girl they just met if they will 'bare you child' I mean come on man. If it weren't for that, you would be a pretty okay guy and most women would be happy to be with you. But you and your damn womanizing, right Sango?" Sakura said promptly.
"Well…" Sango blushed. Sakura noticed and dropped the matter.
"Anyway, Kagome, where am I?"
"You are in Feudal Japan." She said.
I stared at her in disbelief.
"Your kidding…right? Right? It's impossible, I can't be in feudal Japan." Sakura said, starting to panic.
"Oh, it's very possible, because, you really are here. And this really is feudal Japan." Kagome said.
"So, I'm in feudal Japan…Okay, I'm going to faint now. Goodnight." Sakura fell sideways, fainting from the shock. Miroku, being right there, caught her.
"If you try anything Monk I swear…" Sango threatened.
"Oh I would never dream of it Sango, my heart only belongs to you." Miroku said
"Idiot." Shippo muttered.
" We better get her to Kaede's before she wakes up." Kagome suggested getting back onto Inuyasha's back. Miroku lay Sakura on Kilala's back and got on behind Sango.
Sakura's POV…"Ugh…my head. Uh! Woah, where am I now?" I said aloud. I appeared to be in a small hut. I also seemed to be alone.
'I wonder where everyone is?'
"Ah, so ye are awake." Came an old woman's voice from the doorway.
"L-lady Kaede?"
She looked at me in bewilderment.
"How does ye know my name child?" Kaede asked.
"Uh…I…overheard Kagome say it." I lied. Truth was, I had no idea how I knew.
"Well, ye should rest." Kaede said sitting by the fire in the middle of the room.
"No, I'm fine, really…I just want to know where Kagome and the others are."
"Well…"
"Ah, so you've woken up I see. I'm glad." I heard footsteps and a jingling sound. I turned to see Miroku with Shippo on his shoulders.
"Yes. Thank you…for coming to my rescue, and catching me when I fainted." I said childishly. Miroku gave a large grin, and for some reason, I felt my cheeks getting warm.
"And you must be Shippo. Awe, you are so adorable." I said snatching Shippo off of Miroku's shoulders.
"I know." Shippo said. I giggled and patted his head.
General POV…
'Score one for the cute one! Miroku: 0 Shippo: 1'
See, they had a little…wager going. If Miroku could get her to fall in love with him he would get her and Shippo would have to pay him 100,000 yen. (I don't know what the value of currency in Japanese yen is so yeah, bare with me)
Sakura's POV…"Sakura, it's such a beautiful day out, I thought maybe we could go for a walk." Miroku asked.
I glanced at Shippo and nodded.
"Sure, I guess I could. Besides, If I'm going to be stuck here I might as well see what it looks like." I said defeated.
I followed Miroku out of the hut. Stepping outside, I shielded my eyes from the blinding bright sun. When my eyes came into focus I saw a place that was bustling with people just going along with their lives.
"Wow, this world really is awesome!" I said amazed. I looked back at Miroku. Seeing his kind smiling face made me have that feeling again. I could feel my cheeks getting hotter the longer I looked at his handsome features.
"Are you feeling alright? You look a little flushed. Do you have a fever?" Miroku moved towards me and I backed up a little. He felt my forehead. I could feel my cheeks getting red as he got closer to me.
"I-I'm fine, th-thank you Miroku." He smiled gently and nodded. As we walked on along the path, I was amazed and mesmerized by the beauty of this world.
"This place id truly beautiful. It's amazing here. You never see things like this where I come from." I said staring around at all the trees and field of flowers
"Yes well…"
" I would love to live in a place like this. It's so clean and fresh. I…um…" I looked back at Miroku to see he was smiling.
:"Sorry, I'm rambling again."
" No. It's all right. This world is beautiful. And you being in it, makes it even more beautiful." Miroku said. I blushed furiously.
"T-thank you, but I-I don't…"
"Come here." He said waving me over. I felt my cheeks come on fire.
"That's alright." I was still not as trusting as I could have been. I mean, what kind of a guy asked you to bare his child, I mean come on!
"It's alright."
"I'm fine. I'm sorry but I…(Bu-bump) (gasp)" My heart thumped in my chest, and it wasn't because of Miroku. Something was coming, and I couldn't tell if it was bad or good.
Finally the thumping subsided, but not without it's toll. My energy seemed to have been drained from my body.
"Sakura. Are you all right!" Miroku asked concernedly.
"I-I don't know, I think so. Miroku I saw someone, He had long silver-white hair, and Light blue lavender marks on his cheek and he had an emotionless face and…(Bu-bump)"
"Sesshomaru." Miroku said. He was standing up, his staff gripped firmly in his hand.
I turned to see the exact figure I had seen before.
"Se-Sesshomaru." I stuttered, standing up and facing him. Before I could take a step he used his demonic speed to get in front of me.
"You."
"M-me?" I asked nervously.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Came a cry from the distance. A small, toad-like creature with a staff that had two heads carved in explicit detail, was running towards us.
"Lady Satsuki? You're alive?" I looked at the toad-like creature.
"Satsuki? No I'm Sakura, Sakura Sukaki." Sesshomaru stared at me with emotionless cold eyes. It sort of freaked me out, a little.
Hello. I hope that this story will make up for my missing Caribbean Cruise fic. I still have a long way to go, but I hope it will do. Anyway, I have to go. Sayonara.
