Open my eyes
and see my bleeding wounded hands...
Feeling the pain too hard to stand. To stand...
Caught in the 'now and here'
while they are on the way.
Hiding imagination, leading us astray...

Kagome sat on the wet grass with her back against the well. Above her hovered Inu no Taishou. Kagome massaged her aching foot for a short while, then looked at her 'savior'. Demon lord raised an eyebrow. "Well? Speak up." He ordered.

Kagome scowled. Does he not see she's in pain? But it was her idea, after all. And this was Inuyasha's father! She could tell him everything, right?
"As I said earlier, my name is Higurashi Kagome. And I'm not whore, if you ask."

"Interesting. I would never guessed."

Kagome grimaced. "And I'm time-traveller." She added.

"Oh?" Came response. "What do you mean?" Asked Inu Youkai, though he seemed uninterested.

"I live 1000 years in the future." She stated with glint in her eyes. Inu no Taishou locked his gaze with her.

"So you must be pretty old lady."

Kagome narrowed her eyes. Now she understood from where came Inuyasha's rudness. "You don't believe me."

Inu no Taishou snorted. "You think your little story can save you?" He raised his hand and it started glowing green. Kagome wide eyed.

"But it's truth! I'm here because of Shikon no Tama."

Demon lord put down his hand. "Continue."

"Midoriko-sama was my ancestor... You know who she were, right?"

"Of course. I knew her."

Kagome tried to stand up. "Well... I don't really know why this well brought me here, but..."

Inu no Taishou tilted his head to the side. "Well?" Kagome nodded her head.

"Um, This well is a vortex to my times, but it seems it... stopped... working for some unknown reason."

Demon lord was confused. "You know I'm a demon, right?" He asked. Kagome nodded her head. "Then, why are you telling me all this?"

'Because you can't be that bad. You fell in love with Izayoi and that's a proof you're not a bad person.' She thought. "I trust you." She stated simply.

Inu no Taishou closed his eyes and turned his back to her. "You should not. Demons and humans belong to two different worlds."

Now, it's Kagome's turn to be confused. "We're standing on the same grass, breath with the same air, the sun shines on both of us. We live in the very same world."

Taiyoukai turned his head to her. "That's not what I meant! You know I can kill you any second now." He said dangerously. Kagome smiled lightly.

"I don't believe you would do something like this." She stated. Inu Youkai growled and started walking away. "Go home, miko."

Kagome started to panic. She did not want to stay all alone. "W-wait! I would go home, if I could! But I can't! You cannot leave me like this!" She followed limply after him.

"Watch me!" He said without turning back.

"I'll cry!" Yelled Kagome. Demon shot her a dirty look.

"What is it, that you want me to do?" He asked coldly. Kagome looked around the sighed.

"Take me with you."

Inu no Taishou chuckled. "Why should I do that?" He asked.

Kagome looked unsure. "Because... You have no heart to leave me here?" She tried. Inu Youaki cupped his chin.

"Nice try. But no." Kagome looked at him with pleading eyes. "I'll take you with me, because you're intriguing."

Kagome clasped her hands together. "Thank you!" Inu no Taishou chuckled once again and started walking away. Slowly, Kagome followed.

"But there's one condition." He added. Kagome shot him a glance.

"Huh?"

"Can you cook?"

atraSpei: I'm sorry, but I had a huuuge writer's block. Probably – still have it. But after reading some fics I thought I should continue it. And it's not simple. This year I have 4 important exams, 9 hours of church each week, 41 hours of school per week, and lots of homework. And two tests tomorrow! So if I get bad grades – it's your fault:) You must review!

I realized how many mistakes I find, while reading older chapters. I'll have to fix it later. But now – review ;)

Oh, and I'd love to thank you for 12 favourites, 30 alerts and 29 reviews :) Love you!
