Chapter 3

"Why did she start screaming?" Sango asked.

"Why did she touch him like that?" Miroku questioned.

"She looked as white as a ghost when she saw him." Sango explained.

Fading in and out of consciousness I could hear the small group of people talking about the events that just happened.

"It's very fortunate that ye have a remedy to fight Sesshomaru's poison Kagome." An older women's voice said.

"Yeah, now it's just the wound that we have to worry about."

"Erm, no we don't the wound is completely gone." Shippo announced.

I began to open my eyes, and looked around the room. The small group surrounded me. Tending to the wound that was slowly disappearing. I began to sat up and look at my hands, the place where the man that I had been dreaming of cut me, to see the wounds was completely gone. The only thing left was dry blood on my arm.

"H-he's fucking real." I muttered.

"He is." Kagome said simply, and handed me a rag to wipe off the blood.

"Who is he?" I said, while wiping off the dry blood.

"His name is Lord Sesshomaru, he's InuYasha's brother."

"I must be dreaming," I laughed, that was the only possible conclusion to make sense of things. There was no way that this was real. "This is just a dream and I can't wake up, maybe I have a concussion," I concluded to myself.

I watched InuYasha leave the small hut, he looked pissed.

Kagome laughed lightly although her eyes were full of concern as she watched him leave the hut, "that's what I thought when I was first dragged into the well."

"So that explains why you guys were acting weird when you saw my drawing of…Sesshomaru you said his name was?"

"Yes, Sesshomaru. It caught me surprise, I knew that you had a purpose here otherwise you wouldn't dream about him."

"How did your wound heal?" Sango asked, reaching for my hands.

I looked at them again and contemplated for a moment. "I-I'm not sure." I looked at Kagome hoping for an answer since she was used to this strange world. A world where demons roamed freely and the man from my dreams existed. Sesshomaru. He was beautiful. He was powerful. He was…frightening. That Sesshomaru was not the man I had dreamt of.

"Perhaps you have some sort of healing ability you were unaware of," Miroku suggested.

"Maybe, but I've gotten some pretty gnarly wounds before and they took forever to heal."

"You could just be suddenly developing them," Kagome said. "When I first came here I had no idea I could purify things with arrows or sense the Sacred Jewel, maybe something like that is happening to you." She smiled at me.

I couldn't help but smile back even though my head was spinning at the thought. Magic. Priestesses. Monks. Demons. Demon slayers. It was beginning to become too much. Whatever fate had planned for me, I don't think I can handle it.

"I need to get home," I whispered as I looked outside and saw the sun setting. "My family will worry."

Kagome nodded her head, and stood up prepared to walk me to the well. I grabbed my backpack that luckily Kagome made sure to grab. We walked out of the small hut and the rest of the group followed, minus the older woman.

"Will you come back?" Shippo asked me.

I thought about it for a moment. I obviously had to have a reason for being here, but I felt as though I wouldn't be much use to the small group. I turned around to look at them, "I feel like I would just be a burden, I have no experience fighting demons."

"You wouldn't be a burden," Kagome said. "I had no demon fighting skills and I have only been traveling though the well for less than a year."

I smiled at her quick reassurance.

"We would love to have you with us," Miroku said, smiling.

"Well," I said, feeling welcomed. "I'll come back."

"Hey," InuYasha said walking up to us. "He's coming back. Don't go near him this time." He looked at me.

I looked toward the sky and saw the man—Sesshomaru—floating down. He landed gracefully on his feet. He stared at me, his cold golden eyes widening for a mere half second.

"How is it that my poison hasn't killed you?" His question was directed to me but I didn't want to answer. InuYasha stood in front of me, blocking Sesshomaru's view from me.

"Move." He said moving his eyes towards InuYasha.

"Keh, like I'll do that without a fight." InuYasha replied.

In a flash, InuYasha was knocked to the side while Sesshomaru towered over me. I looked up at the powerful demon. I took a moment to study his face. My dreams of him were very accurate, down to the moon on his forehead. His eyes were a beautiful gold and although they were full of disgust I couldn't help but stare into them.

"Explain." He said to me.

"I-I don't know," I whispered. He really fucking tried to kill me.

His eyes narrowed as he lightly sniffed the air around me.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" InuYasha demanded as he took out his giant sword.

Sesshomaru didn't answer as he circled around me slowly, like a predator would his prey. I looked at Kagome, hoping for some reassurance but her face showed how worried she was. The rest of the group had their weapons drawn but made no move to attack him. It was too risky for them. They waited for if he were to attack, but even I knew that if he wanted to kill me. It would be too late.

"You smell different." Was all he simply said. "You are human, correct?"

"What else would I be?" I said. "I'm not a demon if that's what you're implying."

"Of course you're not a demon." He stood in front of me now. His amber eyes peering into my brown ones. "You don't smell human."

"What do I smell like?" I asked, surprised at the strength my voice had.

Ignoring me he said, "this human possesses great power, InuYasha." He turned toward his brother. "I'd be careful, she'll catch unwanted attention." He said, causing the group to gasp in surprise as he warned his younger half brother.

I stared in awe as the beautiful demon walked away, back into the forest.

"That was…" InuYasha began, "…strange. You sure as hell don't smell powerful." He sniffed me.

"I'm not. I'm ordinary." I said, completely confused with what was going on.

It was dark now. I was late and I'm sure my dad was tearing the city apart looking for me. If he wasn't then my brothers surly would be.

"I gotta get home, now." I gasped and looked at Kagome who nodded her head and led me back to the well.

We made it to the clearing within a few minutes and I could see the well, it seemed so peaceful and welcoming. Like it had done a great job allowing me through it. It wanted me here.

"Do you think I should come back?" I asked when we reached the well.

Kagome thought for a minute before smiling her contagious smile. "I think that if you didn't have a purpose here, the well wouldn't let you through." She lightly touched it.

She was right. Time travel is a thing that they have made tons of books and movies about. For it to actually exist only a few people should have a purpose to be in the past or even the future.

"This is so surreal." I said placing my fingers on the well also. It seemed to have a heartbeat, although it wasn't actually beating. When I touched it, it made me feel warm.

"Sometimes I think the well is alive." She said. "It only allows InuYasha and myself, and now you, through it. I wonder if Sesshomaru is able to travel through it as well, after all you dreamt of him."

"I think he just wants me dead, he's nothing like how he was in my dream."

She didn't say anything in return just smiled at me softly. I watched her eyes flash many different emotions and could only imagine what she was thinking. "Do you want me to go with you?" She finally said.

I shook my head, "I think I can manage. Be safe."

I got onto the well and jumped in, instantly being enveloped by the blue light. Before I knew it, I was back in the well house. I climbed up the ladder and began to leave the small building.

As soon as I came back into my own time my phone began to ring like crazy. A billion texts from my family came pouring in making sure I was okay. I was a little irritated that I was only an hour late passed my curfew, but I can understand that since I hadn't replied to the first text or answered the first call they had a right to worry.

I called my dad first it didn't even finish the first ring before he picked up the phone hollering into my ear.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I have something to tell you and I don't want you to think I'm crazy."

He stopped his yelling, his voice growing from angry and worried to just worried. I asked him to get me and he was there within a matter of minutes. I got into the car, in the back, since my angry brothers made sure to give me a piece of their mind.

"I was five hundred years in the past." I yelled at them, growing annoyed at them.

"Bullshit, if you're gonna come up with an excuse you better make it a good one." Pollux said.

"I'm not lying." I said.

My brothers and I began to argue back and forth. Them calling me a liar and me telling them I'm not. We went on for the whole ride home.

When we finally pulled into the driveway my father let out a sigh. "I knew it was only a matter of time."

My brothers and I stopped arguing all looking at my father who just exited the car and went inside the house. My brothers and I all looked at each other before we quickly exited the car and followed him.

"What do you mean?" We all said in unison as we saw him in the living room.

He motioned for us to sit down and we all hurriedly sat down on the couch, practically shoving each other for a spot.

"Boys, Athena, I have something to share with you all."

We all looked at each other before listening intently to what my father had to say, especially since we've never seen him so stressed before. We listened intently as my father began to tell us how he and my mother met and how he instantly knew she was different. He said she was a force of nature, she would knock down anybody and anything that got in her way sometimes almost literally.

He explained that while they were dating she would sometimes stay far away from him with no given reason, he would think that she was cheating on him. However, he eventually learned that it wasn't the case.

"You mother was a being greater than human," he began to explain.

"She was a demon?" I suggested.

He shook his head and let out a light laugh, "no if she were demon she wouldn't have died from something like cancer."

"So, what was she then?"

"I'm not entirely sure, she would never share." He said.

I felt my face fall into a look of complete annoyance. You're fucking joking?!

Castor sat up, completely irritated. "I'm not gonna sit here and listen to this bullshit."

"I agree," Pollux also stood up.

"You're telling me that mom wasn't human, but you don't even know what the fuck she was?" Castor began. "I don't believe that for a second."

My father was strangely calm. Usually when my brothers go off it results in him kicking their asses, literally. But instead he sat there with this strange smile on his face, like he wasn't even really my father.

My brothers kept yelling at him, and I began to grow uneasy. Something was off and my suspicions were confirmed when my father began to laugh uncontrollably. His face began to change and it was replaced with a look of complete madness.

My brothers stopped yelling and we all watched as my father transformed into a beast. His neck began to grow longer and sharp legs began to grow out of his back. His hair, which was a dark blonde, transformed into black and grew longer. His skin fell off and he was now a purple color and he began to laugh.

I screamed in horror and grabbed onto Pollux, who pulled me closer to him.

The creature finally stopped his laughing to look right at me. "I'm surprised he didn't tell you. He knew the well opened the same time I did, we have been waiting for so long." He smiled at me.

"You father was a pitiful man," he continued. "Always wanting to do what was right. The moment you were born demons immediately began to smell your scent. They hunted you down but your parents kept this place well protected. " It hissed as it moved toward us.

"Where is our father?" I demanded.

It didn't answer just began to laugh.

I looked around the room and saw the cabinet where my father kept all things that were special or just cool to look at. On top of it was a sword. Without over thinking it, I climbed onto the couch, and jumped to the rocking chair that was beside the demon. Once he realized I was trying to move away from it, he began to swing his legs at me.

I can do this, I thought as I jumped onto the demons leg and in front of my goal. I grabbed the sword and looked at my brothers who nodded their heads in approval. They were usually the ones saving the day. My legs were a little cut up, but the wounds began to instantly heal. Tiny white lights surrounding the wounds.

I gasped in awe but remembered not to take the time to dwell on my completely weird gift.

"Hey, stupid," I said, and the demon turned its head towards me. "Tell me where he is now or I'll cut off your head!"

He didn't say anything and charged at me. The demon was at a disadvantage. He was too big for the living room but he wasn't big enough to break any of the walls. He couldn't really move otherwise he would get stuck.

He hissed in annoyance.

"Stuck?" I asked, almost teasingly. I took the sword and walked around to where I could see his face. I pointed the sword at him. "Now tell me where he is." I demanded.

"Beyond the well," he smirked. "He's alive for now. Better hurry, or it'll be too late." Black lights began to surround him and he started to vanish. "Only one person can help you find him."

My eyes grew wide as he started to disappear and I screamed as I tried to cut off one of his legs but was too late. It got away. I looked up at my brothers. "I need to go save dad."
