Chapter 4: Not Alone

MEGAN'S POV

"So where exactly are we going?" I asked after we continued walking for about twenty minutes.

No response.

Rin tugged on my arm.

"You are coming to Lord Sesshomaru's castle with me!" she smiled, "It is a long walk from here and Rin hates walking, but she will do it because Lord Sesshomaru tells her that she has too! Rin likes Lord Sesshomaru, he brought me back from the dead!"

What the--

"What do you mean Rin?" I asked.

"I will tell you the story," she grasped her little hand in mine as we walked, "I use to live in a village. The other villagers were mean to me and would beat me. One day I found Lord Sesshomaru hurt from battle in the forest, so I helped him!"

Sesshomaru tensed ahead of us.

I smirked.

"One day wolves came into the village and killed everyone! I tried to run but the caught me. That's all I remembered until I woke up and Lord Sesshomaru had saved me! I have followed him ever since."

"That is a very sweet story Rin," I smiled down at her, "he must care for you very much."

She smiled and nodded.

I looked ahead at Sesshomaru. He didn't seem like the kind of guy…sorry….demon who would save a dying girl like that.

I guess I was wrong.

"Where are you from Megan?" Rin asked a while later.

"Well, I am not from around here that's for sure," I laughed to myself.

"Will you go back home?" her lip jutted out in a pout.

I frowned and looked at my feet, "I don't know how to get home. I don't know if I'll ever go back."

Rin squeezed my hand.

"Well the you can stay here with Rin and Sesshomaru. You can be my big sister!"

I smiled and tried to hold back the tears that had begun to build in my eyes.

Sesshomaru's POV

I could smell the salt from her tears, and in unfamiliar feeling welled inside of me. Could it be pity?

"Megan," I called for her, "come walk with me for a moment."

She hesitated but eventually came and walked beside me, her hands in her lap.

"Where are you truly from?" I asked.

She paused.

"This is going to sound crazy and you probably won't believe me, but, I am from 500 years into the future. From Canada, which is on the other side of the world. I was camping with my school group when it started to rain. It was dark and I couldn't see where I was going. I guess that I fell and blacked out. When I woke up I was here. I don't have the slightest clue how to get back," she said softly, "Sometimes I think that maybe this is all just a dream and I'll wake up sooner or later."

Sesshomaru simply nodded.

She adjusted the strange thing on her back. It looked like a basket, but different.

"What is that on your back?" he asked.

"Oh this?" she pulled it off and held it in her arms, "it's my backpack. I use it to carry and supplies that I may need."

"I believe you," I said after a while, "I have seen one of those back packs before."

"Really? You believe that I'm from the future? Where have you seen a back pack?" she asked, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Mt younger brother, Inuyasha, a woman travels with him who has a bag like yours. She too, dresses in an odd manner. Perhaps she knows of your time," I stated.

Megan's POV

There's someone else? So I'm not alone in this weird time warped thing.

"Where can I find her?" I asked.

"Her and Inuyasha travel constantly so they are not easy to find. When we get to my castle I will send for them, but I cannot guarantee that they would come," he said.

"Why not?"

"My brother and I do not get along," he said simply.

His voice was cold. He obviously didn't like this Inuyasha character. I wouldn't ask about him anymore.

"Thank you Sesshomaru," I smiled, "but, why are you doing this for me?"

He jaw clenched and eyes flickered, but otherwise he was emotionless.

What a stiff.

"You do not belong here," he said, "you are a burden that I would like to dispose of quickly. Sending you back to your time will be for the best."

Ouch.

Way harsh you ass whole!

A burden? Me?

That hurt actually.

Not wanting to talk to him anymore I merely nodded and fell back so that I could walk with Rin.

Sesshomaru's POV

I had sensed her whole body tense when I called her a burden.

I will not feel remorse though.

She is outspoken and defiant to authority. I needed to put her in her place.

She has touched me more then once and has even thought to strike me! Me! The great Lord Sesshomaru!

I will not feel remorse.

And yet part of me does.
