[Author's note: BACK FROM THE GRAVE! Here is a quickly, maybe a kick start to a new book but no promises~ Also sorry it's kinda short...I was not expecting things to be so short...oh well!]

I was waiting, very anxiously. I paced around the Bone Eater's well for what felt like the 100th time. My ember colored kimono dragged behind me. I remember Lord Sesshomaru returning home from one of his long travels with this very kimono, he gifted it to me. Thinking of this memory made me smile a bit.

It had been 10 years since I had come to this place. The moment I arrived in this strange time I knew it would be a struggle to live and maintain for myself. All those years ago, when I was kidnapped and brought here against my on will, I truly went through hell did'nt I? Despite it all, I survived and still am. Everyone has been so helpful in helping my adjust to this world, Rin especially. She and I work to keep the castle clean, even if she insists I should'nt clean. She seems to be under the impression that I am royaly or something. Of course I am not, and I work hard to show I have not changed even in the fact that I underwent a genetic change.

Yes, I did kinda turn into a demon...somehow...in a way I still do not fully undestand. However this did not mean I was to be treated any different! After all this time you would think I could not only understand my situation but also learn and master any powers I had. To be honest I have'nt explored that side of me very much. Aside some actual physical acheivements like better stamina, being able to jump higher and things of that nature I tend to leave magic to the wizards. Some of the things I learned on my journey when I was younger I actually had never ventured further or even thought about it. I never needed to since Lord Sesshomaru is by my side.

As I looked into the sky, it being the lovely pale blue it always seemed to be I thought back over at how mine and Lord Sesshomaru's relationship has grown and matured all this time. I had dropped the whole fantasy of marrage years ago and I have not really thought about it. As long as he was in my life, and he let me love him then I could live with that. I snapped out of my thoughts for a moment to look back down the well, when would she be back? If i could just go through the well myself I would'nt need to be in this embarrasing situation. Let's be honest, I have no idea how I even got here and have never been able to pass though the well myself otherwise I would have long ago. A girl can only go sooo long without a good burger and fries. Just thinking about a burger made my mouth water. I looked at the watch that Kagome kindly provided for me as a birthday gift a few years back. Of course it was not current nor correct but it helped my keep time and have some footing in this time.

18 minutes. That is how long she has been gone. I placed my palm on the rim of the well and began to tap my long index finger nail on the old wood. I understand Inuyasha now, how she takes so long to come back. HE gets to just hop in after her but I can't do that now can I? Lord Sesshomaru was expected back in to the castle any day now and here I was waiting on Kagome to gather me a few items from the store. She did say it would take her some time, hell I did'nt know how far away the nearest store was from the well, but this was really important. I began to feel sick at the thought of what Sesshomaru would think if he found out what I was doing. I had to shake it off, at least for now. In my focus on the well, I didn't notice Rin come up behind me.

"Is something the matter Lady?" she asked. I jumped and looked back to her. When I felt my face hot from embarassement, I covered my face with my kimono sleeve.

"N-Nothing in particular. I am just waiting for Kagome," I stated looking back at the well, then back up at Rin. She had grown into a beautiful and sweet teenager. She let her raven hair grow out and it had the most beautiful natural curl, a kind of curl people back home pay for. She did'nt need make-up, her skin had magically stayed clear and even porcaline like. It...made me a bit jealous. I have to change into a whole new body and still could not capture her natual beauty. The troubling thoughts came back into my head and she must have noticed my expression change.

"Are you sure?" she paused a bit. I sighed and smiled to her.

"I am. I just really need something." I stated calmly. She came over to my side and looked down the well.

"What exactly do you need? If you wish we could go to the nearest market and shop. We need to pick up the groceries for Lord Sesshomaru's return anyways." she smiled and leaned in closer. "Are you going to cook your special udon noodle dish? You know he really loves that!" she suggested in a chipper tone. She was dripping with young enthusiaim, it was almost annoying.

"Uh...yeah I will." I said a bit distratced. Rin then began to walk back a bit the way she came, we had our ride hidden in the woods, so in that direction.

"You know, I never did see him eat until you made that. It's got to be his favorite." Rin mentioned as she just placed her arms behind her back and swayed a bit. I looked to her, just remembering the time he actually ate my cooking.

"What was that...the 3rd or 4th time I made it for us? I was still learning how to cook then." I asked chuckling a bit, "It must have been bad, given I had just barely learned that recipe." Remembering that brought the smile back to my face. Rin faced back to me.

"I think it was the 3rd time. I loved it! He had to have been curious about how it tasted..." she chuckled. In one of our late night conversations, Sesshomaru had told me he does not eat human food, but he had tried it on a whim. The process of cooking Udon noodles...thinking about cooking just-STOP! I need to stop. I looked back to the well. I heard Rin sigh.

"If it is alright My Lady, I would like to go to the town and look around a bit." she asked. I turned back to her and with a smiled I let her go. She happily walked into the near town. She might have went to the market to shop. That is when I felt the sun suddenly baring on me. I decided that the well was not going to go and float off, so I went to a closeby tree and rested under it. I carefully place my knees under me and beconed for A-Un to join me. Misery loves company, and I so did enjoy his calming precence. He sat beside me and rested his heads. I began to pet him. He was getting old, although it was not very apperent. That's when I was reminded that I too was getting older. I am still young, and who knows how long I could live given this new body...but it was very much known to me that I am not the shiny young girl who met Sesshomaru. It makes me very nervous. At the begining of our romance, it was very new and very passonate. When Sesshomaru is home, I can remember countless night we would spend in blinding ecstacy.

The times when he is home is when I am the happiest. That much I can admit. I love him so deeply that I would do anything for him. He would rest for a while, and each time I found myself watching him sleep. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the tree, remembering the last time he was home...
