Chapter 2

Don't own Inuyasha

Almost 500 years later

Kagome groaned and rolled over as her alarm clock went off for the numerate time that morning. She was too annoyed to push more buttons. So she was just going to have to become accustomed to her unfortunate fate of having to wake up for school. That was when she looked at her alarm clock.

"Oh, no." Kagome yelled as she jumped out of bed, intensely grateful that she had thought to pick out her clothes for school and to take a shower the night before. I can't believe I slept in so long, she thought. She pulled on her clothes as fast as she could. Then she ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth and hair and do everything else that came with waking up in the morning.

Kagome rushed off to school. I'm going to be late, she thought as she hugged her astonished mother before grabbing her backpack and running out the door. She ran down to the end of the road where she was unfortunate enough to wait for many cars to pass.

These were the times she actually wished she were in Shinjuku Jidai. Even if only for a little while. So she could see all her friends and laugh with them…and not have to worry about getting to school on time!

When she saw only one truck, which was far enough away for her to cross the road she started to run across it but cried out as she tripped over a block of cement and fell. Obviously the driver couldn't see her from inside the large truck because it didn't seem to slow down. She stood up as fast as she could with the intention of running out of the way before the tuck managed to reach her but felt as if her fear was an actual blow to her chest when she was overtaken by dizziness. She grabbed her head in an attempt to still the world. When she had achieved this she opened her eyes and saw the truck coming straight for her no more than an arms length away. Kagome tried to scream but when she couldn't force anything more than a whine past the lump threatening to suffocate her she closed her eyes and began to pray thinking it was the end.

She heard the horn of a truck and the screech of tires before she felt herself being picked up in a pair of strong arms. Feeling as though she would faint from shock and relief she somehow found the strength and opened her eyes to a world flying by at an incredible speed, pale hair, even paler, flawless skin, perfect red marks, and a crescent moon and closed her eyes to darkness with one name on her lips, "Sesshomaru."
