I do not own InuYasha or company. Just this plot.

Chapter 2


Kagome lead the group to her house, Shippo was sleeping in her arms again.

"Where are we going, woman?"

Kagome ignored the demon lord as she opened the door to her house and stepped in.

"Mom! I'm home!"

Kagome's mother came around the corner and saw the group standing there in her living room.

Kagome ran over to her mother and hugged her, keeping Shippo from getting squashed.

"What's with this group?"

"I decided to bring a few friends from the past home. I know that you might think I could change the future, but I checked the records on all of them. They say Sango, Miroku and Kohaku all vanished. Like they never even existed. That was all the proof I needed to bring them here."

Mrs Higurashi looked down at the little fox demon in Kagome's arms.

"Who is this adorable child?"

"This is Shippo. He's a fox demon kit. There is also something else you must know. I've become something of a surrogate mother for him."

Shippo opened his eyes and noticed the woman staring at him.

"Momma!"

"It's alright, Shippo. It's just my mother."

Shippo looked at Kagome's mother and in a puff of smoke, his tail popped back into existence.

Kagome pulled her mother over to her other friends. Sesshomaru had decided to stay outside.

"Mom, this is Miroku. He's perverted so watch out."

Miroku feigned innocence. "I'm hurt."

"I wouldn't say that if you didn't keep grabbing Sango's butt." She motioned to Sango. "This is Sango, my best friend. And her brother, Kohaku. And let's not forget the little Kirara in Sango's arms."

"What happened to InuYasha?"

Kagome looked down.

"He decided to stay in the past. And seeing as the well closed, I probably won't see him again."

"But..."

"I brought his full demon half-brother."

Mrs. Higurashi looked at everyone.

"Where is he?"

"Sesshomaru didn't want to come inside."

"The Killing Perfection?"

"I know."

"I want to see this 'Killing Perfection'," Mrs Higurashi said as she walked to the front door.

"I'll go first, Mom. He's hates humans."

"Then why did you bring him?"

"Because of the girl he travels with. I thought you would like to help raise her. She's only seven. Or I think she is."

Kagome opened the front door and looked out. There, leaning against the side of the front of the house, was Sesshomaru.

"This, Mom, is Sesshomaru. And the little girl is Rin."

Rin bowed to Kagome's mom and then ran to Kagome.

"This is so amazing!" the young girl said as she looked at Kagome with sparking eyes.

"I'm glad you like it here. Rin, this is my mother."

Rin smiled at Mrs. Higurashi.

"Well, Mom, I need to have a few words with Sesshomaru. I'll be back."

Sesshomaru slowly rose.

As soon as they were behind the house and in a small section of the forest, she stopped and leaned against a tree.

"Well?" she asked.

He just glared at her.

"All I have to do is say one word and you'll be eating dirt. I know you think I dragged you away from your home. I get it. But I know you care for Rin more than your home. So just get used to living in this time. If you want to go unnoticed, I'll have to try and hid those markings on your face. Although, you could say it's a tattoo. And you wanted your ears tipped."

Sesshomaru was growling by the end.

"I just wanted to say that. I'll leave you alone. But stay at the shrine. You don't know what kind of world is out there. And I'm sure I'd get it from Rin if something were to happen to you."

He chuckled.

"You laugh now. But you won't be laughing when you have little copper balls flying at you at two thousand two hundred feet per second."

That got his attention.

"The world has changed since your era. People don't fight by the sword, or wear heavy armor plates like you. They wear Kevlar and carry guns. Guns, if aimed right, can kill a human in an instant. And with a lot less effort than snapping a neck."

"That I would like to see," he said as he walked over to her.

"You asked for it. Follow me."

She led him into the house and over to the TV.

"Now this is called a television. It let's us see what's happening far away. Kinda like a seer."

She pulled out Demolition Man and popped it in.

"Mom? Make sure everyone else is out of the living room. Sesshomaru want's to see a gun work."

Kagome's mom nodded and moved everyone into the dinning area.

After an hour, Sesshomaru was growling and flexing his claws. Kagome took that as a sign to turn it off.

"Well, there you have it. Guns in action."

He turned to her and glared.

"I know you think that this is not real."

"Send me back!"

"I can't. The well closed behind Sango, Miroku and Kohaku."

"So I'm stuck here?!"

His eyes changed red and his aura flared.

"Sesshomaru, if you don't calm down..."

Sesshomaru smirked.

"Sit."

His face it the floor hard, but not hard enough to break the floor boards.

"Woman!"

She slapped him.

He was shocked. A woman never laid a hand on him.

But it calmed him down.

"Sesshomaru, if I could take you back, I'd take you!"

"Why did you bring me?"

"Because Rin needed you. You may not think it, but you are her father."

He growled.

"I meant you are like a father figure to her. She looks up to you."

"I am a tall demon."

"You are her idol. You give her a reason to get up each morning. And it's not because you tell her to. She want's you to be proud of her."

Sesshomaru looked away.

"You know not what you speak of, woman."

"Oh, I do. After she's been her for a while, she'll start to grow up. Souta will help her. As will Shippo."

He pounced and took her by surprise. His breath hot on her check, he growled.

"Listen here, woman. You will take this Sesshomaru back to his time."

"I told you before, the well closed. Even I can't go back. I brought the Jewel back to it's proper time. When that happened, the Jewel absorbed the power in the well. So get used to being here in my time. You can't go back."

He clawed her right arm, causing her to cry out in pain. He was about to slash her again, when he was pulled off by Kirara. Her mother pulled her away.

"Mom, it's alright."

Mrs. Higurashi pointed at the clawed flesh.

"That is not alright. We need to take you to the hospital."

Kagome nodded.

"Sesshomaru, you stay here or I'll drop you into ground under this house."

"Kagome!"

"Didn't you notice that he's wearing InuYasha's enchanted beads?"

Mrs. Higurashi looked over at the demon before shaking her head.

"No, I hadn't."


Kagome was in the middle of getting her second claw mark stitched up. Shippo had gone along with Kagome. He would not leave his mother alone.

"Are you alright, Momma?" he asked Kagome.

"I'm alright, Shippo. Just need to trim the claws of that dog."

Kagome was not happy. This was too much stitching. She wouldn't be able to carry her books let alone write anything when she went back to class.

"How many stitches are we at, doctor?"

"My count is thirty five. And I'm not even half done. What caused this again?"

"A really big dog."

"I agree that you should trim his claws."

"Oh, I intend to, doctor."


"Sesshomaru!"

Said demon looked over at Kagome as she walked back into the house. He had not been able to move due to Kirara, Miroku and Sango, not to mention Kohaku and Kagome's brother Souta.

"Eighty stitches! I had to have eighty stitches to patch up your damn claws damage!"

He smirked.

"Sit!"

He flew face forward and smacked the floor again.

"Kagome, I think he's had enough for today."

Kagome looked at her mother.

"For today. But that doesn't mean tomorrow."

"You try my patients, woman!"

Kagome looked at the demon as he slowly rose to his feet.

"Don't forget that I am the only one in this time that can remove those beads from around your neck! If I were to die, you would have to wear them until your death!"

"Momma!"

Kagome looked down at Shippo. He was holding on to her leg as if his very life depended on it.

"Please, Momma. Calm down."

Kagome gave her son a small smile before reaching down and picking him up with her good arm. She then hugged the little kit to her.

"I'm sorry, sweetie." She took a deep breath. "See? I'm calm. But if he tries to do anything again..." She let the threat hang there.

"Sango, Miroku, Kohaku? Do you have plans for sleeping arrangements?" Kagome asked.

"Souta offered me his room," Kohaku said.

Kagome looked at Sango.

"You're sleeping in my bed. I'll take the couch. Miroku? I have no idea where you're going to be sleeping."

Kagome motioned with her injured arm for Sango to follow.

"This is my room," Kagome said before going over to the bed and sitting down. She then sat Shippo down and patted her other side.

Sango slowly made her way over to the bed and sat down on it. As soon as she let her weight settle on the bed, she sighted.

"This is wonderful, Kagome."

"Try laying on it completely."

Sango shifted her wait around and soon she was laying on the bed, her head on the pillows.

"I'm so sleepy, Kagome. I'm almost asleep..."

Sango's breathing deepened. She had fallen asleep in a matter of seconds.

"Well, now. She must have been tired."

"She was up all night last night, worried about you talking to Sesshomaru."

Kagome chuckled and smiled.

"What do you say we get you settled on the couch with me?"

Shippo's eyes widened.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive," Kagome said as she hugged her adopted kit close.


Now that was a close call with Kagome. Just a few more seconds and there's no telling what Sesshomaru could have done. Anywho, on to the preview.

Sesshomaru doesn't like Kagome, but has to go with her to the mall. How will he take the noise? And how will the others take to seeing all of the technology around them? All that and more in the next chapter. Till then,
