Disclaimer: Nothing, I am nothing, I own nothing.

A/N: Yep, this is better than Higurashi, even if it didn't get as many reviews.

The only shout out is to Priscilla on AFFN, because you've basically given me a plot, but it's not the one I have planned. I have so much planned for this story it isn't even funny.

And to those who need research on Egypt, this has a lot of true facts. Just e-mail me and I'll give you info on basically whatever you need…or something like that.

So, let me bring you another chapter!

Warning: If the plot seems to be moving rather quickly, don't worry, there is a lot I have planned for this story so it may be moving rather quickly, but there's a lot to how it moves quickly.

Warning: our world is made up of dialogue, so that's how I write.

Under the Egyptian Sun

Chapter 2

Kagome looked into those golden eyes. They were really something. She had never seen eyes like that before. They glowed like the sun, shimmering with the hood covering most of the face. She had never seen eyes like that before and gasped when she thought she saw them move.

"No, pardon me." Kagome gripped her basket tightly as she observed the person she had bumped into. This person sounded male and looked a little male too, considering the deep voice and the way he wore his clothes.

"You have really pretty eyes," she whispered, mesmerized by the depth and color.

The man hiked his hood a little further and blocked any further viewing of those magnificent orbs. Kagome bit back a moan of despair at loosing that sight but blushed when the stranger grabbed her hand gently. "What is your name?"

"Kagome," she whispered, entranced. His hand was soft; it looked like it had small claws instead of nails. When he released her hand she pulled it to her.

"That's a nice name," he said. "I apologize for bumping into you."

"Thank you. I must return to the temple," she said quickly, trying to avoid any further contact. No one she had ever touched before or been touched by had such perfect hands or skin. It was mind bending to think of such a thing.

"Which temple?" he asked, and Kagome wondered why such a man would be interested. No one had ever bee interested in her before so why would anyone really start now? Anyone who did know her knew her goals and how interested and dedicated she was truly to her god Anubis. Obviously this must be come newcomer, a traveler to this great city perhaps.

"I'm a priestess at the temple of Anubis," she whispered and ran off, back towards the temple. That man had such haunting eyes. Was it…was it possible he was a god?

…

Inuyasha watched the girl Kagome leave with much interest in his eyes. She was very pretty, the tan skin, beautiful black eyes and black hair. He didn't have to look very far now, this woman intrigued him. The fact that she was a priestess of Anubis was also interesting. Inuyasha knew Anubis personally; he was actually one of the gods that didn't harass him too much. Anubis, being the god of embalming was more entranced by the dead than anything else and didn't pay much mind to the demi-god. When he did, it was to ask if everything was going good. Anubis may be one of the darker gods, but he could see why that girl Kagome may be drawn to him. She must like dogs, well; either that or she has an obsession she won't admit with the dead. Inuyasha thought Anubis didn't mind him because they both were dog gods of sorts, although Anubis was really a jackal. He sighed, this priestess was more than intriguing and she liked his eyes. She might have known he was a god or a demi-god at least when he had grabbed her hand. Her eyes had widened as she glimpsed perfect tan skin and smooth shiny nails.

She couldn't have been very old, a little past the normal age for girls to marry to be sure but by the looks of it and the way she said she was a priestess for the temple of Anubis she had dedicated her life for her god. That was a rare quality among women, many wanted to marry and have children…but she had such dedication her only weakness was her humanity. And that was something he would take full advantage of… how no mortal could resist him…

…

Kagome arrived back at the temple of Anubis a little out of breath. She clutched her basket to her as she struggled to catch her breath. Those eyes…she still couldn't stop thinking about his eyes. She barely saw his face, but his hand…so soft and smooth. It was entirely possible he was a god! She couldn't believe it, but it seemed so likely. It was all she could think of to explain it.

"Kagome, oh, good, you're back. What's in the basket?" Kagome looked up, gulping down a little more air and saw Isis, another priestess of the temple. She had long black hair like Kagome's although it had colored braids in various parts of it while Kagome's didn't have such braids. Isis was slightly in a higher class, richer than Kagome was.

"Some spices," she replied. Isis was a good friend to Kagome, both of them had known each other for years. The only thing was Isis was married to one of the priests. Kagome let out a sigh as Isis embraced her and took the basket from her hands. "Thanks Isis, what's the matter?"

"Nothing's wrong Kagome," she whispered. "You look as though you've seen a ghost!"

"Isis, I didn't see a ghost," Kagome replied with a smile. "I think I saw a god!"

"I don't believe you!" Isis exclaimed with wide eyes. She looked surprised and yet a little teasing as well. Kagome understood Isis loved to tease and often thought of her as a child, it was how Isis was and Kagome didn't mind.

"He had golden yellow eyes and his skin was so very soft," Kagome murmured in awe, unable to believe that the man she had bumped into was anything more than a god… he just couldn't be human! There was no doubt in Kagome's mind that the one she had met in the market was a god.

"I think you were daydreaming Kagome," Isis whispered. "You spend all your time here at the temple and not enough time out there trying to find a husband."

Kagome looked at her friend with a blush. "I don't need a husband Isis; I am dedicated to my god."

"And what a scary god he is, aren't I correct?" Isis didn't understand why Kagome was such a dedicated follower to Anubis. Kagome was the only woman Isis knew that dedicated to a god, any god for that matter.

"Hush Isis, he's not a scary god. No god is truly scary," she whispered back to her friend.

"You should have become a priestess in the temple of Isis, now that woman…she truly is a goddess," Isis said.

"Being named after her must give you some sense of self as a goddess, right?" Kagome teased gently. Isis swung her long hair over her shoulder in an elegant gesture.

"I know, I'm just as pretty as she," she said and Kagome smiled while Isis grinned. "You could be a goddess as well you know. Not everyone I know has hair and eyes like yours."

"Don't say such things!" Kagome said with a gasp. "I'm not that pretty and you know it."

"But you are…you just don't see it yet Kagome," Isis said. "Come on now, we better start making dinner."

…

Inuyasha looked around and headed back into the alleyway he had arrived in. He had found who he wanted…the only trick now was getting her.

A familiar voice piped in behind his head. "So…what're you doing here?" Inuyasha turned around to see none other than…Shippo. Shippo was the god of mischief and hated Inuyasha.

"None of your business."

Shippo smiled at him. "But being in the realm of mortals must mean you must have some special assignment…what did Ra tell you to do this time?"

"None of your business," Inuyasha said, reaching out to try and grab the fox. Shippo jumped out of Inuyasha's reach and laughed at him, jumping up to hover in midair. He laughed at the frustrated god. "So…why are you here?"

"Nothing requires me to tell you little runt!" Inuyasha exclaimed. "You better get out of here before I…" He stopped himself before making a threat. For one thing Shippo was a favored god of most, being so 'cute' and 'adorable' and another thing that even though he wasn't as strong as other gods, he was fast and Inuyasha was still trying to match his speed. Inuyasha always knew he would someday…but when was another thing entirely in itself.

"Before you what? I'm here to cause a little mischief…you better watch your step Inuyasha!" Shippo interrupted and in a puff of smoke disappeared. Inuyasha kicked up some dirt and hit one of the walls. It cracked slightly from the sheer force of it but didn't break…showing Inuyasha had contained himself just a little bit…only a little.

"That little fox better not interfere with this! I want Kagome and I won't loose her!" Inuyasha exclaimed to himself. If that little god of mischief screwed up his chances to get a woman…any woman, including Kagome…he didn't know what he would do. It would be just like Shippo to do that too…his specialty was interfering in the affairs of others.

'Kagome will be mine,' Inuyasha thought to himself as he began to formulate a plan which would carry out his wish, his desire to marry her, to mark her as his and to have her bear his children…to be his wife and equal for all eternity.

…

"Shippo, what are you doing here?" a sweet voice drew Shippo's attention towards the goddess Rin, a beautiful young woman who was the wife of Sesshomaru.

Shippo grinned at her. "I just got back from the mortal world." He sounded so proud of himself Rin began to laugh. "What's so funny?"

"Just what were you looking for there in the mortal realm?"

"I wasn't looking for anything in particular, I just happened to find Inuyasha down there…on some mission or another, I don't know what." Shippo glanced around. "God Sesshomaru isn't around here, is he?"
"No, he's away currently…I think he said something about destroying a city but that could mean any number of things." Rin smiled at Shippo and picked him up, cradling him in her arms. "You know, you should start being more productive in your activities."

"No way Rin…mischief is what I do and I do what I love and do it well." He grinned, full of pride. "There's no way I'll become more productive yet."

"Ah, so there's a yet," she said and rocked him a little and he pushed himself out of her embrace and she began to laugh. "You're still young little one. In time you will learn there is more to life than tricks."

"Haven't you learned there's more to life than love?" Shippo asked.

Rin smiled, knowing the perfect answer. "That is why I married the god of destruction." Shippo couldn't think of anything to beat that, so he made himself disappear in a puff of smoke, leaving Rin giggling at her own thoughts.

"I hope Inuyasha found someone to love," she said dreamily.

…

Nighttime fell quickly over Egypt and Inuyasha smiled as he approached the temple of Anubis. The woman Kagome couldn't resist him….and he would have his bride.

A/N: Just so people know…Kagome doesn't even know that Inuyasha is after her. To all my reviewers, review if you want, or not, the choice is yours. I didn't force you to read it nor review it…so don't flame. Any flames will be used to roast marshmallows for reviewers that like this story.

And another note, I actually slowed down this chapter a little for everyone…thought I should extend my little idea over two chapters. I promise the next one will be longer!
