Disclaimer: I'm only going to say this once…because it hurts…No, I DON'T own Inuyasha. Cries

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sniffing, he couldn't believe what he smelt. He sniffed some more and roared fiercely enough to send any hanyou or youkai in the vicinity running with fear. His eyes glowed slightly red, and despite Tetsusaiga being in his hand, his demon blood was boiling nearly out of control. His brother. She'd gone through the well to her own time with Sesshomaru! Inuyasha wasn't going to allow that! He positioned himself on the well and jumped through…but for the first time ever…he only hit the bottom of the well. He couldn't get through. The hanyou's eyes widened in horror and he fell to his knees, head thrown back, and roared as if in pain. The special, nearly magical connection Kagome and he had once had was broken.

The moon was barely visible in the cloudy sky when Kagome and Sesshomaru entered her world and went out of the temple. She was nervous. Since she wouldn't be able to visit her family as frequent as when she lived at Kaede's village, Sesshomaru had allowed her to go to her home, to tell her family of this, and to get some things she might want to take. At first her head hadn't been working properly, and she'd been so happy that she'd decided to do justthat—but the journey through the well had given her enough to think things out. Tonight would be very interesting.

From what she knew of Sesshomaru, he wouldn't like having humans behave like his equals—he wouldn't like being in their home—and he probably wouldn't like her family. And Souta, well, he held Inuyasha as his idol—how would he react to knowing that she was with Inuyasha's biggest rival? And what about mother? She froze for a moment, wondering what her mother would do when Kagome told her that she was Sesshomaru's mate? And what if Sesshomaru disliked her family andEra that he wouldn't allow her to return? And I can't even 'Sit' him. Shivering at that thought, she blinked away the many fears eating at her, suddenly realizing something.

"What's wrong, Sesshomaru?"

Covering his nose with his sleeve, Sesshomaru looked over at Kagome, his eyes wide. How could she live here with all of these smells? The moment they'd left the temple the smells had attacked him, and Sesshomaru was feeling dizzy. How could so many new scents have been created during the time between his Era and hers? Did it always smell like this?

"The smells..."

Her eyes widened and she reached for his hand. "I'm sorry! I forgot that you're a full youkai." He snorted at that. "If Inuyasha had a hard time getting used to the smells here, being a hanyou, you must be flooded with the smells. I'm sorry that I forgot to warn you."

Growling softly at the mention of his brother, Sesshomaru took her hand in his and his anger went away. The smells were bearable now. This miko really did have powerful magic in her—she just had to discover the magnitude of the power residing in her small body. "Let's get this over with." Seeing the wince on her face as she began leading him towards the little home, he frowned. Had she repented about becoming his mate? Was she ashamed to introduce him to her family? Impossible! I am the Lord of the Western Lands! Then, remembering something she'd said brought his eyes narrowed. So, his bastard half brother had been here with her? How many times? Could he get through and take Kagome back? Keeping back another angry growl, Sesshomaru forced himself to look and sound indifferent. "So. My brother has been here before. Did your family like him?"

She seemed oblivious to the thoughts going through his mind as she nodded. "Yes. Mother was a bit taken back at first—of course—but now she loves him and cooks him ramen whenever he comes. Souta—my little brother—idolizes Inuyasha. And my grandfather…" Her eyes widened and she twirled to look at Sesshomaru as if in fright. "My grandfather! Sesshomaru? Um, uh, I have to warn you about my grandfather. He's—well—a little off his rocker. I—uh—he'll probably want to exterminate you—he's um—special. But don't worry about him. He's actually helpless—but I didn't tell you that."

He didn't know whether to growl because his half-brother seemed to be a favorite with Kagome's family—or to laugh at the thought of being worried about an old human. But since he wasn't one known for his laughter, he decided to scowl. So, her family liked Inuyasha? Well, he was going to show them what a good Youkai gentleman—and Lord of the Western Lands—he was.

After a very embarrassing episode with her grandfather—Kagome was able to introduce Sesshomaru to her gawking mother and assessing little brother. Her mother had nearly fainted at the word "mate" but she was courteous enough not to start drilling Kagome in front of "Lord Sesshomaru" as she started calling him after he informed her of his important status in the Feudal Era.

When Souta invited Sesshomaru to the living room and the Lord of the Western Lands reluctantly accepted, her mother had pounced.

"What do you mean mate?"

Sitting down on a stool, Kagome sighed. "It's the youkai word for wife."

Still not very convinced, her mother sat down as well. "But—but—you're so young!"

"I was the same age you were when you married papa."

That argument being deflated, she thought for a moment. "I always thought that, maybe you, you know, would end up with Inuyasha. At least I know him! This is the first time I've even heard you speaking about Lord Sesshomaru, and now you appear with this innocent expression on your face and say—oh yeah mom, this is Inuyasha's half-brother and sworn enemy—my mate."

"I didn't say it that way."

"You might just have well." There was a choking sound as Mother spoke. "I always imagined you going down the aisle in white. And I was there! Taking pictures and crying bittersweet tears! But I wasn't evenat your wedding!"

Sighing, Kagome reached over and placed her hand over her mother's. "Mom, I love you. But I love Sesshomaru as well. And we're already married, mom."

Nodding in head in agreement, Mother sighed and wiped away some of the tears that had fallen down her cheeks. "I love you too Kagome. It just hurts me to see my only daughter all grown up, and growing away from me. I hardly ever see you any more. You're always in the Feudal Era--and I miss you." She sighed once more."But, you're right, it's done and I have a son-in-law waiting for me in the living room." Her mother suddenly sniffled and blinked. "What will the children look like?"

The question caused Kagome to giggle, and in seconds, her mother and her were giggling together and hugging.

Souta had at once asked for "Inu-chan" but once he realized that his hero wasn't going to be arriving, he turned his interest on this husband of his sister's. Inviting Sesshomaru to the living room, he tried to get a conversation with this new character from Kagome's world—but he had such a glass cold expression that Souta decided to forget it and go back to his video game. Even though this guy was even less talkative than Inuyasha, (which he had thought impossible till now)Souta found him more interesting. There was an air of mystery surrounding the cool and collected "Lord of the Western Lands".Souta sorta liked the idea of having a brother-in-law who owned someplace big like that. It made Souta feel important.

Suddenly realizing that Sesshomaru was sitting next to him, oddly looking into the screen of the TV as Souta played Tekken, the young boy smirked. There was interest and questions in those eyes as Sesshomaru leaned forwards, his eyes following the movements of the fighters on the screen. For a second, the Lord of the Western Lands seemed genuinely interested in something.

"Wanna play?" He watched as Sesshomaru quickly collected himself once more and shook his head in a silent and slow disdainful manner. But instead of feeling snubbed, Souta smirked widely. His brother-in-law liked video games.

"What do you mean that this Sesshomaru has to sleep in a different room than his mate?"

Even though his voice was calm, Kagome could feel the steel under it. She winced and lowered her voice. "We might be acceptable in your Era, but in mine it isn't allowed—and I'm still young. This is your room, and mine is right next to yours, so we'll still be close." Her voice turned pleading, as did her eyes. "It's only for tonight, Sesshomaru. Tomorrow we will return to your Era."

He nodded choppily, still not happy about the sleeping arrangements. "And to our home in the Western Lands."

A soft smile touched her face at the sound of our home. No matter how many times he said that, she couldn't believe that it was true. She couldn't believe that this was a dream. A mischievous smile caused her face to light up, as she stepped on her tippytoes and placed a shy kiss on his cheek.Going toher door and opening it, Kagome turned slightly. "Goodnight, Lord Sesshomaru."

Opening his own door, Sesshomaru stepped in and turned to look at her for a moment in silence. "Goodnight, Lady Kagome." And he quickly closed the door behind him.

Standing silently in the doorway, Kagome was frozen in wonder. Had that been a ghost of a smile that she'd seen trying to appear on his face?

No matter how many times he tried jumping into the Bone Eater's well, the same thing happened. So, he'd finally decided to camp out by the well and to wait for Kagome and him to return. Knowing Sesshomaru and his hatred towards humans, Inuyasha knew they would be leaving her Era as soon as possible.

Growling, he held Tetsusaiga tightly. The moment his brother appeared he'd slice him apart, and take Kagome back.

There it is. I hope you guys liked it...especially since I didn't plan what would happen, it sorta just happened...
