More story…

Her hair is half way down her back and is black. Bangs in the front, with a bow behind it and her hair up in various lengths of strands going down in the back. Her eyes are a gray blue, more vivid than anybody's in the time there.

Oddly, she was wearing a top knot as well, a white shirt with short sleeves and embroidery at the bottom. And a long skirt of a light blue with a silver flower at its side. He figures she wore it because she was the princess of Kamui, in Tokyo, in the twenty first century; not so she could fit in with the people of the Feudal Era.

"Well you're not the same Sesshoumaru that left me." She still holds his hand in hers, as he lets go of it. He leans in close to her, "And you're not the same Kayase I left." "Yes I am, silly." "Uh…I mean your looks…" "Oh…well I like your looks too!"

Sesshoumaru sighs heavily, thinking, "She's still dense as ever." Kayase asks, "So-" "Master? Lord Sesshoumaru!! There you are!" A green small demon with a staff with two faces, says in relief, as he runs over to Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru asks, "Where were you Jakken?" "Lord Sesshoumaru you left me behind." Sesshoumaru thinks for a second, he says, "I suppose I did." Jakken looks at Kayase, he thinks, "Why she's a marvelous beauty!! She looks as though she resembles the dead priestess Kikyo! Is this the young teenage girl Lord Sesshoumaru talked about coming out of the well one day soon?"

Jakken asks, "Lord Sesshoumaru, is that the girl?" Sesshoumaru nods plainly as he looks down at Kayase looking at Jakken. She looks directly in his face curiously, "What on earth is he Sesshoumaru?" Jakken says, "You better call him Lord Sesshoumaru! Nobody calls him Sesshoumaru; even demons of high stature call him Lord Sesshoumaru. So you, as a human, better respect him!"

Kayase says, "Oh… yeah? You are a demon aren't you?!" She says smiling, Sesshoumaru says to Jakken, "Don't you dare talk to her in that tone again!" He says his eyes burning in rage like at the time Kayase brought Inuyasha's name about.

Jakken replies startled, "So-rry my Lord." He thinks, "How does he stand up for a human's honor when he hates humans?" Kayase asks, "So your name's Jakken? What a wonderful name…I think I knew someone by that name." Jakken says, "O thank you Kayase!"

Sesshoumaru says doubtfully, "Wasn't that your 'brother's name?" Kayase smiles and looks up at Sesshoumaru, "Oh yes. It was!" Jakken and Sesshoumaru turn around and let out heavy sighs, in disbelief she could forget her brother's name and she's been gone from her home for about twenty five minutes.

Kayase asks, "So how's Kikyo and Kaede?" Sesshoumaru stays turned away from her not wanting to see her expression. He replies, "Their both dead." Kayase freezes, she stands up, she looks at Jakken quickly then back at Sesshoumaru. "They're what? They can't be dead; it's only been five years since I've last talked to you. That's not that long for someone to live to see their little cousin!"

Jakken thinks, "She's the priestesses little cousin! I'm surprised she isn't a priestess!" Sesshoumaru says, "Humph." Kayase asks, "Are my mother and father dead too?" He nods slowly, Kayase says, "Ah! I only got to meet them two times…I only got to meet everybody two times!"

Sesshoumaru turns around he imagines herself getting happy again thinking on the bright side, but when he turns around you can see a light flow of tears stream down her face. She says, "You both must think that I'm some baby huh?" She says trying to compose a slight laughter, but instead the laughter comes out a desperate, sad sigh of air that she breathes in.

Sesshoumaru says, "The last I've heard your little sister is still alive." Kayase looks up, she smiles, "My little sister, she must be six by now the last time I saw her was five years ago when she was just born. What about her father? Is he alive or dead?"

She wipes her tears away as she slowly starts to become happy hearing the good news about her little sister. "A demon killed him, while he was in the fields of his village harvesting, they said the demon went on a rampage and killed everybody who got in its way. Including her father and a few others, I'm not sure where she's living now though somebody had taken her in."

"Good! So what are we going to do now?" Sesshoumaru says, "Don't you want to go to the priestess' old village. It could become your new home." Kayase replies, "No." He asks, "Then where are you going to go?"

She replies, "I will stay with you of course, its part of the reason why I came here so I can be with all of you. And since Kikyo and Kaede are dead, what's the use of just living in their village where I'll have to be reminded of that? So I'll stay with you Sesshoumaru!" She says smiling; she looks down, "Oh yes, and you as well Jakken."

Sesshoumaru says, "As you wish, it will be dangerous if you come with me you know, I am a demon, who is hated by many." Kayase says, "Okay, I'll still go. I can protect myself." Sesshoumaru replies, "I won't hold you to your word, I'm not at all sure about you coming with me, you're putting your life at risk."

She says, "If that's what I have to do stay with you, then so be it. I will not discuss it any further." He thinks, "Her stupid 'princess' nature is taking over…" He says, "If you stay with me, you will have to keep up your pace, if you get hungry that is your responsibility to find yourself some food, and to bathe when necessary. We will only stop to rest if need be, and you mustcall me Lord Sesshoumaru."

Kayase nods understanding what she must do for herself. He finishes, "I will absolutely not fend for you." Kayase nods again, she thinks, "Same old Sesshoumaru, he never wants to do anything for anybody even if that someone is me. Sometimes he can be so unsentimental. But…I can't help but to say, I am never leaving his side again. No matter what, he's one of the only people I have left that I care for besides my little sister."
