Caught in the past
Chapter 5
Hey people. I revised this chapter until I was satisfied with it. I actually managed to get it out! I'm gonna go celebrate my b-day now! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own the anime. Just the manga's .
Once they got back to the Higurashi Jinjya , Sesshoumaru immediately headed towards the bone eaters well.
"Wait Sesshoumaru-sama, where are you going?" Kagome asked.
"I wish to head back to my era," he replied impassively without stopping or even turning around. "Your era is too noisy and full of strange smells." Kagome ran up in front of Sesshoumaru and held her arms out. "Wait, you can't go yet, there's so much more for you to see, and, well, you only just got here." She finished rather lamely.
'So much for my acting skills.' She thought dejectedly. Sesshoumaru seemed to consider it for a moment then answered, "No." He started walking again.
"Oh, come on! You were the one who wanted to come with me! I could have gone by myself, but you wouldn't let me!"
Sesshoumaru once again stopped, and this time, turned around. "Do you think I would have let you escape so easily?" he questioned. Kagome frowned. "Escape? Why would I even think of escaping? All I wanted to do was to go home and-"
"That is escaping." With that, Sesshoumaru returned around and headed towards the well. Kagome stuck her tongue out at Sesshoumaru's back. This was going to be harder than she expected.
It was already very dark put. After three hours of persuading, Kagome finally got Sesshoumaru to stay in Tokyo. With a goodbye to Souta, Kagome's mom, and Oji-chan, they left for Kagome's new house. Kagome was currently showing Sesshoumaru one of her bathrooms.
'This is a sink. You don't even have to go get water from any wells. The water comes out of the tap." To prove her point, she jerked the cold water tap. "See?"
Sesshoumaru's eye's were widened. He had never seen such magic before. This was truly exquisite.
As if reading Sesshoumaru's thoughts, Kagome spoke up. "This isn't magic, it's just advanced technology." Sesshoumaru's luminous golden depths still looked doubtful, but his emotionless mask was back in place.
Kagome motioned for him to follow her so she could show him other parts of the house.
During the last hour, Kagome had shown Sesshoumaru the T.V, books, paintings, food, everything there was to know about the 21st century. Some items had taken longer, because Sesshoumaru had been suspicious about what some of items would do.
For example, when Kagome had shown him the washing machine, and demonstrated how if worked by putting in a shirt, his right hand went straight for the Toukijin.
Kagome, exhausted, launced herself onto a comfortable arm chair. She closed her eyes. 'I'm never ever going to bring anyone else from the Sengoku Jidai here!' she thought distressed.
Noting that Sesshoumaru was still around, she opened her eyes. He stood before her apparently distraught.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, please, sit down." said Kagome, rather recklessly. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow, but didn't bother to question. He wasn't tired, but he wanted to inspect this...strange sitting material. He sat down. It was outlandishly comfortable.
'It looks like he's comfortable!,' Kagome thought, thankfully. 'Now he doesn't have to complain how-'
"Miko."
Kagome looked up. "Yes? Is there anything you want, Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked cheerfully.
"Get this Sesshoumaru something to drink. The heat in this house is unbearable."
'I spoke too soon.' Sighed Kagome miserably. 'He's more arrogant than Inuyasha! In his own little way!'
Sesshoumaru was now currently watching a movie that Kagome herself was in, one called, "You get what you wish for.'
'This is quite fascinating,' he admitted to himself. 'Remarkable-'
"Um, Sesshoumaru-sama. Here are your drinks. I brought more than one kind so you could taste them all." Kagome interrupted. Sesshoumaru seemed quite irritated for being interrupted, but looked over at the drinks, nonetheless.
"This one is just plain water," began Kagome, making sure Sesshoumaru was paying attention. "These one's are called pop. They're very sweet."
It took awhile, but Sesshoumaru tried all the drinks. And he just had to make a comment for each one.
Kagome, exasperatedly, threw herself onto the couch. "I can't take this anymore! You're making this harder than it should be!"
"Making what harder?" he questioned.
"...You know what? Never mind. Let's just go back to your era. Tomorrow."
Sesshoumaru smirked. "I was waiting for you to say that."
The next day, very early in the morning, they left for the Higurashi Jinjya. When they reached the well, Kagome hesitated.
"What is it, Miko?"
"It's just that...oh, nevermind, it's not important." With that, she opened the slidng screen doors, ran in, and jumped into the dry well. Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow. 'What strange behaviour.'
He immediately jumped in after her.
When the pair got back to the Sengoku Jidai, Sesshoumaru didn't bother to help Kagome out of the well.
'And I thought men like him would be more helpful.' Kagome almost growled.
Just when Kagome was almost out of the well, she slipped and landed on her left ankle. Breathing sharply, Kagome looked over at her ankle. It was bleeding rapidly.
'At least she did not scream.' Thought Sesshoumaru, slightly concerned, as he jumped back in the well.
"Um, Sesshoumaru-sama? I- I think I just broke my left ankle." She laughed rather nervously.
'Wonderful.' He thought.
Sesshoumaru had difficulty carrying Kagome back, as she started complaining. Nonstop.
"Ow! Hey, who do you think you're carrying? Jaken?" Kagome snapped, forgetting her place as Sesshoumaru winced at her tone of voice, forgetting to reprimand her.
"Girl, lower your voice. This Sesshoumaru will not tolerate-"
He stopped talking when he realized that Kagome had fallen asleep in his arms during his boring 'lecture.' "At least you will be easier to carry." He said out loud. He began flying again. 'So disgraceful.' He thought, amused. 'Yet so very entertaining.'
When they raced the western lands, Sesshoumaru put Kagome down. 'Now, to wake her up..." Sesshoumaru kneeled down and prodded Kagome's left shoulder. He frowned when Kagome stayed oblivious. "Girl." Kagome stayed undisturbed.
Getting irritated, Sesshoumaru looked around, and spotted a river. He smiled mischeviously. 'Perfect.' He thought.
Kagome was having a very pleasant dream, when she felt cold, no, freezing water splash her.
She opened her eyes, and when she saw what was causing the inconvenience, she gasped. "What on earth are you doing?!" she exclaimed.
"What does it look like, Miko?" came the cool reply.
She 'hmphed' and sat up. "Oww..." she complained, then gasped. "It looks...so untreatable."
She looked up, and saw Sesshoumaru sneering.
"Have you forgotten who you are with, girl?" Kagome looked confused for a moment, then, "Oh yeah! You've got Tenseiga! You can heal my ankle!" she said brightly.
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow, as if to say, "You don't have to state the obvious all the time, you know."
He unsheathed Tenseiga.
Kagome drew a deep breath, as if expecting pain. Sesshoumaru quickly ran Tenseiga through Kagome's ankle.
When he withdrew it, the wound was all cleared up. As if nothing had happened.
"Arigatou." She whispered.
"You were slowing this Sesshoumaru down." He replied, appearing unaffected. By her generous words. Kagome ignored him, as she was examining her ankle.
'So she has decided to block this Sesshoumaru out once again. I will not tolerate this.'
"Kagome, if you continue to ignore this Sesshoumau, I will leave you in this fukai mori."
Kagome looked up in surprise as she heard Sessshoumaru say her name. 'It sounds so nice when he says it...' she thought happily, before coming back to her senses. 'Who am I kidding? He probably only said my name to get my attention.'
"Kagome, if you have not realized, you can walk now. If you do not get up in this instant, I will leave you here."
'Or..not." thought a surprised Kagome. 'Maybe there is something to him, afterall.' She thought as she stood uo, and began to follow Sesshoumaru back to his home.
Hey, how'd you like this chappie? I told you it would be longer!
