Miasma Memories Ch.5

"Hmm...this looks about the right color, let's see. Yes, that'll about do it," said the sales lady in the cosmetics department. She had applied liquid base to Sesshomaru's face & was now handing him a mirror.

"Why did she get those tatoos if she was just going to cover them up?" asked the woman, her blonde hair suggesting the she was american.

"First, I am male. Second, I do not know how I got these marks, further, they wish me to hide them," he growled. I stifled a laugh.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir, I didn't realize," she said to him, then to me she whispered," Is he gay?"

"No, he's straight," I answered, but I wasn't actually sure. He's got a masculine voice & a semi-feminine face, but he usually acted too cold to tell much about him.

"Will the base work on his arms?" Mom asked.

"I guess. Damn, where else does he have them?" The thought of where those marks might be made me blush.

"Language. A proper woman does not discuss such things," Mom chided, which earned her a dirty look. After paying we got on a bus for the market.

Sesshomaru leaned towards me & asked," What did that woman mean 'is he gay'?"

The day after Kagome left was pretty calm, a couple minor demons, but no shards. It wasn't any different than anyother time Kagome had left for a while.

Inuyasha still had his attitude, he just didn't have the memories that started it. He still rushed into battle, after Sango & Miroku had established who the 'bad guys' were. Tetsusaiga always transformed since he was protecting the village. He knew how to do 'Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer', Kaede guessed he couldn't forget a claw attack. I wasn't so sure, during one battle with a huge spider his sword got knocked away. Miroku tried to tell him to use 'Blades of Blood', but Inuyasha couldn't remember how, so I used foxfire in the spider's before it could bite him. Sango killed the spider.

That night I woke up moments before around me & Inuyasha, I had been sleeping next to him. I shouted for everyone to wake-up, but they too were bound by the ugly snake-looking things.

Kikyo walked into the hut, Kagome is the reicarnation of the dead priestess. She stepped up to Kaede, her sister.

"Is it true, Inuyasha has lost his memory?" the clay corpse asked.

"Most, sister," Kaede answered.

"Even his pain of me?" She sounded angry.

"I know not, ask him."

Kikyo turned to Inuyasha, I was behind his arm so she couldn't see me, but I could barely see her.

"Do you know who I am, Inuyasha?"

"You look like that Kagome girl, are you sisters?" Inuyasha asked. He fought to get loose then yelled," Get these damned things off me!"

"Appearantly he hasn't forgotten his colorful language. Hmm...tell me how this happened..."

When we finally got to the market Mom & Sota went to get groceries while I got to show Sesshomaru around. Meaning more questions about modern objects, joy.

Anyway, while we were wandering around a strange man walked up & bowed deeply to Sesshomaru & I. He had short black hair, green eyes with slitted pupils, & a very nice black suit.

"My Lord, my Lady. Are you back from America already? Weren't you planning to stay till next week?" he asked.

"Huh? 'My lady'? You've got to be kidding me," I said, shocked.

"My appologies, I forgot you don't like to be addressed as such," he said, bowing again. I was totally confused.

"Why do you bother us little demon?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Only to pay my respects, Lord," he answered, "but do carry on, I'll bother no more." He bowed yet again & disappeared into the crowd.

"He was a demon? I didn't know any still lived in things day & age," I stammered.

"A young cat demon. Perhaps the dog demons & the cats do not war anymore," he mused.

"Maybe."

We met up with Mom & finished shopping. All the way home my thoughts were on the stange man. If what he said about us being in America was true, then at some point in the past Sesshomaru & I had gotten together & I had somehow lived for over five hundred years. It was absurd. When Inuyasha gets his memory back things will be like they were between us & when Sesshomaru gets his back he'll hate human's again. That cat probably knew who Sesshomaru was & decided to mess with him, a mind reader or something. Right, even I coudn't believe that.
