"Leigha! Leigha! Please wake up!" I woke up the Sesshomaru shaking me and screaming my name.

I groaned a little and Sesshomaru helped me sit up. I leaned against him, my head pounding.

"How did I get here?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Sesshomaru questioned me.

"Well, when I left this morning it was 2004, now its 1504. Normal people don't just tranport back five-hundred years."

"You are from the future?"

"Yes, I am. And I don't know how I got here, the last thing I remember was jumping into my well......"

"You're well? That's it!" Sesshomaru replied.

"What's it?"I asked.

"The well, it must have brought you here. Well, since you have nowhere else to go, you can stay here, if you want," Sesshomaru laid me back down on the bed."Get some sleep, you've had a rough couple of days. I will come to you in the morning."

Sesshomaru got up and walked to the door.

"Good night Sesshomaru," I said.

"Good night," He replied as he walked out the door. I let my head fall onto the soft pillow below me and I was soon, once again, asleep.

-------- The next morning I woke up to Sesshomaru standing next to my bed.

"Good morning," he said.

I groaned in response.

"Not a morning person I presume?"

"Not at all," I said pushing my face farther into my pillow.

Sesshomaru went around to the many windows in the room and opened the curtains, letting the sunlight flow into the room.

"So cruel!" I yelled, slowly getting up.

"Yes, I know,"he replied,"There are clothse for you the the dresser over there.They are cordinated my color, Kagura has a bit of an obsession."

I walked over to the dresser and opened a drawer. Everything was neatly folded and seperated into colors from lightest to dark in each color imaginable. Talk about MAJOR o.c.d! Sesshomaru left the room so I could change. I picked a deep blue dress that touched the floor and flared and the arms. Yeah, I could definatly get used to this!

I exited the room to where Sesshomaru was waiting for me as he brought me to a bathroom across the hall.

"You will find everything in there that you will need," he said openeding the door.

I walked inside and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I looked at the bathroom. A large bathtub full of different kinds of shampoos and soap lined the shelves around it, it was very modern for this time in history. I looked in some of the cupboards and drawers around the sink and found makeup.

"Imagine that," I said to myself as I applied some black eyeliner.

I left the room and once again followed Sesshomaru as he showed me around the castle.

"This is my room," he showed me a room down the hall to mine. "Everyone else sleeps on the other side of the castle in the eastern wing. You won't be seeing them much. I'm afraid you're stuck with me."

I looked around at the magnificent room he has. The windows were all stained glass the the walls and ceiling were the most beautiful color green! I was amazed.

We left the room as he directed me to the dining hall. It was enormous!He motioned for me to sit, so I chose the spot at the very head of the table. Naraku, Kagura, and a light haired girl soon joined us.

"Leigha, this is Kahnnah," Sesshomaru said motioning toward the light haired girl.

They all sat down and soon many servants came to serve us.

After breakfast Sesshomaru brought me back to my room. We stood on the balcony right outside my room that overlooked a vast garden a story below us. Sesshomaru told me about his awful brother Inuyasha who fought with him constantly. Inuyasha was known to have no regaurd for mankind and wished to kill anyone who lacked demon blood.

"So, you're a demon?" I asked.

"Yes, but I am nothing like my brother," he replied.

I looked back at the garden and saw a small animal in the corner, sleeping.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing.

"It looks like a young fox demon. I wonder what it's doing here," he replied.

Without a second thought I lifted my dress up and jumped over the railing of the balcony. Instead of landing in the garden I landed in someone's arms. I looked up to see Sesshomaru's angry face looking down on me.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" he yelled.

"Well....."I started, but found nothing good to say. "I'm sorry."

"Just don't got jumping off anything anymore, ok?" He asked. I nodded.

He put me down and I ran over to the small fox demon. I found him asleep. I poked him softly to wake him up. He rolled over and I saw his face. He was the cutest thing I had ever seen! He yawned and stretched and I fell in love! He looked up at me with the cutest little eyes and I melted!

"Hello," I said.

He didn't answer, he just started shaking, looking up at me in fear.

"My name is Leigha. What's yours?" I asked, trying to calm him down.

"S..Sh...Shippou." he responded.

"Oh, well, Shippou. What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I have nowhere else to go," he looked at the ground.

"You're an orphan?" I asked. He nodded.

I picked Shippou up and carried him back to Sesshomaru.

"He's staying with me," I said boldly. Walking back into the house. Sesshomaru just stood there, dumbfounded.
