WOW THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED! IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT SESSHOMARU DOES HAVE BOTH OF HIS ARMS! SORRY FO RTHE CONFUSION!
Chapter 12: arrival
MEGAN'S POV
The five days were finally up. Inuyasha and this Kagome were due to arrive at anytime now.
I was so excited!
Wasn't I?
Who the hell am I kidding! I am terrified! What if she takes one look at me and says I'm crazy? What if she isn't really from the future after all?
And most importantly…
What if I didn't want to leave?
I had been thinking about it for the past few days and I feel torn. I have a family in my time who loves me and is probably worried sick about me… and yet… when I am with Sesshomaru and Rin, I feel as if this is truly home to me.
I tried to put the possibility of staying here into pros and cons…
The pros are: I don't really have much of a future back home. I mean, my grades suck, all my teachers have told me at least once that I am a disappointment, and I have no clue what I want to do after high school, if I even graduate that is. Another pro is that I would get to stay in this beautiful castle and live with my new sister Rin and strange and yet desirable hottie Sesshomaru.
And now for the cons… I will miss my family and friends more then anything. I will probably be killed by some kind of creep demon, if not Sesshomaru himself. And most importantly, I will suffer without make up and feminine hygiene products. No joke.
I compared the list.
Oh god I have no clue what to do.
WHY DID HE HAVE TO KISS ME! !
Why did I have to kiss him back and like it!
What the hell am I going to do?
That kiss, wow it had been something…
After Sesshomaru seemed to avoid me at all costs for some reason. He couldn't have know I mean, he was asleep… right?
Who am I kidding…he so knows…and now he hates me… my life is over…
Suddenly there was a knock at the door and I was startled out of my thought.
"Come in!" I called out.
Jaken entered, "Inuyasha has arrived and is waiting for you in the dining hall."
My hands started to shake. Oh god, this was it.
SESSHOMARU'S POV
I sat in my room, staring at the wall.
Inuyasha and his party had arrived. I could smell his half-breed stench, along with his human companions.
Perhaps I should go to the dining hall to support Megan…
But that would mean having to be around her. When ever I walked by her lately my heart seemed to climb into my throat. I knew that she would someday leave me, and I guess part of me didn't want her to. Luckily it was just my heart that felt that way…that could be overpowered easily enough if I concentrated…
"The sooner she leaves, the better," I told my self.
But even my own voice was filled with doubt.
MEGAN'S POV
I entered the dining hall to see six figures sitting at the table. A girl with long black hair tied up in a ponytail was wearing what looked like black spandex with armor. At her side was a giant boomerang. Weird.
On her lap was a cat. But this cat had two tails.
Beside the girl was a man in deep purple robes. His short black hair was tied into a small ponytail at the base of his neck. He carried with him a long staff with big gold hoops on the top that jingled when it moved.
Beside him was another guy. He looked a lot like Sesshomaru, but his eyes were bright with emotion. He had white dog ear on top of a head of long silver hair. His clawed fingers tapped impatiently on the table.
Beside him was a very pretty girl. She had long raven hair and deep brown eyes. She was smiling down at a little fox demon in her lap. The thing that shocked me most about her was her clothes. She wore a short green skirt and a white and green sailor looking shirt. It looked like a school uniform.
She must be Kagome.
The man in purple robes noticed me first and his violet eyes shone with interest.
He got up from the table and knelt in front of me, taking my hand.
Wow. Creepy little bugger.
"My lady," he said smiling brightly, "you are a rare beauty in such a desolate castle! Would you be so kind as to bear my children?"
The girl with the boomerang raised her fist to smack him, but I beat her to it. Balling my hands into fists I socked him right in the jaw, knocking him to the ground.
"The nerve!" I scowled as I sat across from the group.
They all looked at me in surprise as the man sat back in his chair, holding his jaw.
I looked at the girl in the short skirt, "Are you Kagome?"
She nodded, "The man you just hit was Miroku, a monk surprisingly enough. The girl beside him is my best friend Sango, a demon slayer. Her cat's name is Kilala. This little cutie on my lap is Shippo. And the guy sitting beside me is Inuyasha."
"Sesshomaru's brother," I said.
"Where the hell is he anyway? And why the hell are we here?" Inuyasha growled.
"Didn't he explain it in his letter?" I asked surprised.
Kagome shook her head, "he just asked us to come, and that it wasn't hostile, but personal."
"Well he summoned you hear because of me," I began as I stared down at my hands, "You see, I need your help Kagome."
That sure got their attention. All eyes were glued to me, even the cat's.
"I'm not from around here. I'm from the future, the year 2005 to be exact. From Victoria, B.C., Canada. I was on a camping trip with my class when it started to rain. I fell and was knocked out and when I woke up I was here. Sesshomaru found me and took me in."
Silence.
They all stared at me like I was crazy.
Then Kagome smiled, "I believe you."
The others didn't seemed as convinced, especially Inuyasha. He just glared at the air as if it was the enemy…
"Kagome herself is form your time as well," Miroku said.
I beamed, "How did you get here? Are you able to get back? How?"
She laughed, "slow down. I came here a few years ago. I fell through the well in my family shrine. In our time I live in Japan. I am able to travel back and forth through time using the well."
"Do you think that it would work for me?" I asked.
Her face fell, "I don't know. So far only Inuyasha and I have been able to go through the well."
Shit.
"Who are you?" Sango asked skeptically, "how do we know that you aren't some demon trying to trick us?"
I smiled, "I'll be right back!"
When I came back into the hall I had my back pack with me. I dumped out it's contents onto the table.
"My name is Megan Evan's. if this isn't enough to prove to you that I am from the future then you can believe what you want about me."
Kagome inspected each item carefully. The make-up, the toothpaste, my clothes, and even the trail mix…
"She's telling the truth," she said after a few minutes.
"So," I said, "can you guys help me out?"
SESSHOMARU'S POV
I hid just outside the door to the dining hall, listening to the conversation. They believed her and now they were planning to take her with them back to the well.
So she could go home.
I couldn't listen anymore.
I turned and stormed back to my room.
I hated to admit it, even in my head. But I didn't want her to leave…
