Across Time part 2
Wow, 50 reviews! Not bad if I do say so myself :D I wrote this chapter shorter than the last, you'll
see why at the end though :P.
-tao-fairlight- Ehehe, actually I think this idea is MORE use than those you suggested _ _.
-moon-neko-princess- Ehehe *Sweatdrops* Maybe not a hundred thousand but I can garuntee you atleast
ten thousand. I wouldn't mind that many reviews though ;). And no I don't think Across Time can beat
the popularity of TFAC, my next story possible which IS fairly original.
-Ghoul King- I try to limit myself one chapter fic at a time. The reviewers would annihilate your
ghostly self if you forced them to wait longer for chapters becuase I was writing two at the same
time. Its an interesting idea, however, and I can see possibilities, but I don't really have much
spare time. If you like I'll write it down in my notes and think about it for a while.
-fuma-the-dragon-of-earth- The lemon won't be in this fic, possibly never. But there IS going to
be more stuff than in TFAC (hence the PG-13 rating. I've never been one for lots of swearing)
-The Authoress L- Eheeh yes there might be one or two other TFAC fans present :P.
-sapphire hanyou- You know that makes a lot of sense actually...
-lilemmy- Revenge? Are you kidding it will always be one of my greatest memories seeing all of
the looks of jelousy I got that I was touched by the God of Star Trek!
-Junichi - Ehehe you've been reading too many fanfics. I can assure you Hojo is NOT INuyasha's
reincarnation. Unless Rukimo Takahashi reveals that to us in the last chapter of the manga.
If anyone I think Hojo is Kouga's reincarnation.

Kagome blinked several times as the black haired man crouched beside her. He had a very
familiar looking smirk on his face, whether becuase of the comical sight she was with her school
uniform all covered in ice cream or becuase of some unknown reason she didn't know. As he came into
focus, Kagome felt a wave of disappointment. It wasn't Inuyasha, though the resemblance was uncanny.
For one thing he looked like he was in his early twenties at least. He was slightly taller, his ears
were larger and matched with a slightly longer nose, and even though he was wearing sunglasses,
Kagome was certain she saw blue eyes staring back at her. She could also never picture Inuyasha
wearing a blue business suit with a dark black tie and dark brown shoes like the man in front of her
was.
It was an impressive match, but he was still much different than the human Inuyasha she knew.
'My mind is playing tricks on me.' she thought shaking her head a little. No doubt she had imagined the
rude comment as well. "You ok?" the man asked leaning foreward onto the tips of his toes. Even their
voices sounded similar. Not the same, but close. The way the sun now glinted off of his sunglasses
prevented her from seeing his eyes, but Kagome got the distinct feeling that he was looking her over
from head to toe with a piercing gaze. Kagome then realized that the man had his hand out to help her
up.
Feeling a little ackward by the man's resemblance to Inuyasha, Kagome took it hesitantly.
Effortlessly, the black haired stranger stood up, taking Kagome with him. He released his firm grip on
her and took a step back. Kagome bowed to him, feeling silly. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention
and-" The man waved her apology away. "You're a mess, come with me and I'll get you cleaned up."
It was a kind offer, and one she might have considered as the melted ice cream was soaking through her
clothes and onto her skin, which was not a very comfortable thing, had the person offering it not
looked like someone she knew from 500 years ago. She had nothing against the man, he couldn't help
looking like Inuyasha, but the last thing she wanted now was another reminder of what she had lost.
"Thank you, but my house is only about a ten minute walk-" Kagome paused as the man slowly lifted
a hand and removed his sunglasses. For some reason she was hypnotised by it. He held them a little ways
from his head as their eyes met, blue and brown (or green if you read the manga). Then, just for a moment,
the man's eyes flashed golden. Startled, Kagome gasped and took a step backwards. She blinked and when she
had his eyes were blue again. "I live near here. Why don't you come with me? It'll be better than
walking home covered in ice cream." he said paying no mind to her reaction. Though he had phrased it like
a question, the power behind them made it more of a command.
Feeling like she was in a daze or dream, Kagome nodded dumbly. Satisfied, the man put his glasses
back on and turned around. Without looking back he called "This way." and started walking, presumably
to his home. Kagome hurried to catch up to him. She followed him on his right side not trying to hide the
fact that she was basically staring at him. 'Did I imagine that?' she wondered staring at his eyes behind
his sunglasses. She could feel something growing inside her that had been dead for some time now. It was
both wonderful and terrible at the same time, hope. It grew as she noted other similarities. Things that
she had never really noticed back in the Warring States. How he walked for one, though he had his arms
folded instead of in his sleeves. His hair, his eyes (minus the color), the aforementioned slow, graceful
yet powerful way he walked, they were all so similar. The small part of her mind that was warning her of
the dangers of going home with a man she had never met before was completely ignored as continued to
scrutinize this Inuyasha lookalike. She didn't notice the odd occurance of dogs barking from inside houses
and fences as they passed.
It seemed like only an instant, though it was probably more around two minutes, when they arrived
at his home. It was in a part of Tokyo she had never visited except for when riding the bus. One of the
more upper class neighborhoods. Each house had a sizable yard and a few of the nicer ones even had metal
fences or brick walls. The one she was standing in front was one of those. It had a high, tan stone wall
with a black metal gate. The gate itself led to a small area still surrounded by wall where there was a
dark brown wooden door that Kagome assumed led into the yard beyond. With the wall surrounding the entire
house there was no way to view what went on inside below the top of the large tree she could see and the
roof of the house itself except from the air. This house had obviously been built with privacy being a key
issue.
The man, who seemed a little excited to Kagome, moved quickly to the gate and wordlessly opened it.
Kagome didn't see him produce a key, in fact from her point of view it seemed that he simply stuck his
finger into the lock and fiddled with it for a moment. Whatever he did the lock clicked and he pushed the
gate open. Kagome again failed to notice the sound of numerous dogs yapping from nearby homes as the man
motioned for her to come as he opened the inner door. Her legs seemed to have a mind of their own and she
wasn't sure she could stop them if she wanted to as she obediently walked past him into a fairly large
yard.
Kagome let her eyes inspect her new surroundings and vaugely noted the sound of doors and gates
closing and locking. There wasn't a shred of cement inside the walls. The entire yard was covered in grass
and looked like it could use a good mowing. The landscape itself was more or less flat, and dotted with
wildflowers and brown leaves, the first sign that Fall was approaching. Kagome also didn't fail to notice
the large tree growing in front of the house. She wasn't sure what kind of tree it was but it reminded her
of a miniture God Tree, though it had low branches as well as high ones. Many of its leaves had been lost
and the others were turning brown.
The house itself was old, atleast fourty years, but well taken care off. Two stories high and
completely tan the house was built where the bottom floor was about twice the length of the top and a bit
wider creating somewhat of a layered pyramid effect (like the ones built by the Mayans). There were four
evenly spaced windows on the bottom floor and two windows on each side of the top floor with a large bulbous
window in between. The roof was black and rounded on the top floor, and flat with hanging edges on
the bottom floor. The door was chestnut brown with a small, circular window in it and two rectangular ones
on each side. It was, in Kagome's opinion, a very pretty house. In fact the only peculiarity was that every
window visible had closed blinds. Even the windows on the door had small blinds.
"Come on." Kagome blinked and noticed the man, who she realized she still hadn't told her his name,
had already passed her and was half way to the door. He had the door open for her by the time she caught up.
She stepped inside, followed by the black haired man. She looked around. She was in a short hall. To her
left was a staircase to the second floor, at the top of which was a shut white door. The stairs were dark
brown and all of the walls she could see were white. Any more inspection was cut short by a very disturbing
sound. The closing and locking of a door.
Ehehe! Cliffhanger of doom!
