New World, New People
Get Out!
Caitlin and Sesshomaru stood looking at each other in complete silence for a moment. Neither doing anything, someone could have dropped a pin and you would have heard it, even on the grass.
Then without another thought Sesshomaru took a step towards Caitlin and kissed her. Caitlin's eyes went wide, then closed to enjoy the moment.
What're you doing!? This is a trick! Aetwin screamed in Caitlin's head.
No! It's not! You're the one who has been tricking me! You low life! Now get the fuck out of my head! Now! Caitlin ordered.
No! It's a trick! He's only doing this so that I will have to leave and then we can't have our dream!
Just what dream is that?
To rule the world! Don't tell me you've forgotten! Please, stop this! This is sheer stupidity!
It may be stupidity, but I'm enjoying it. Take my stupid Time Powers and go, I know that's what you do. Now that I can think clearly, without you in my head telling me what people do and don't think and all that other bullshit, I knew that all along I was going to die because you were in my body. Now go away!
It's your choice, and remember, you're the one who can't get back to her time. Aetwin faded away just as Sesshomaru and Caitlin parted. Sesshomaru looked into Caitlin's eyes, her eyes were open, then they closed and she was sleeping.
The mental tole that it had taken on Caitlin, and being striped of her Time Powers was exhausting, even to someone of Caitlin's stamina.
Sesshomaru lifted Caitlin off the ground and then walked back to his castle, in the end there was no fighting involved, but now that Aetwin was gone, he knew that Naraku would come back. It was only a matter of time.
Soon enough they were at his castle and Caitlin was still sleeping. Even the slamming of the doors didn't wake her.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said. "Who is that?" Rin asked.
"Mmm...minty fresh..." Caitlin muttered in her sleep.
"'Minty Fresh'?" Rin asked. Sesshomaru ignored her and walked to his chambers. Rin was looking at Sesshomaru curiously. Carefully Sesshomaru laid Caitlin down on his bed and she nuzzled into the pillow. For the first time in a long time she was getting the sleep she needed.
"Simba?" Caitlin asked as she sat up and looked around, she rubbed her eyes, not noticing that she wasn't in her own bed. "Where's Simba?" Caitlin asked. She fell back down and was sleeping again. For a second there Sesshomaru thought that she was awake. Quickly he left the room and walked into the inner study, here he would be safe from prying eyes and would know if any one was coming, since they had to knock on this door to get into his chambers. The door he had entered through was for him only.
"Lord Sesshomaru, are you there?" Jaken asked.
"What is it Jaken?" Sesshomaru asked boredly.
"The castle is in an uproar! They think that you've gone soft and no one will listen! There are riots breaking out all over the castle." Jaken said. There was a dull roar heading in the direction of Sesshommaru's room.
The door to Sesshomaru's bedroom slid open and Caitlin was glaring in the direction of the noise. Without saying a word she walked over to the door.
"Who're y-?" Jaken asked, on her way by Caitlin kicked him and then continued to walk to the door. She opened it and stood out in the hall way with her hands on her hips.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP!?" Caitlin growled. "SOME people are TRYING to sleep! With all this YELLING it's kinda HARD!!!" she added, everyone fell silent, surprised that someone could be so irritable. "Good. Now if I hear one more sound out of any of you, you're going to regret it." She walked back into Sesshomaru's study. "Night." Caitlin said as she walked past Sesshomaru and into the bedroom.
Jaken's mouth was hanging open and he was just staring at the door.
"Close you're mouth Jaken." Sesshomaru ordered. Jaken's mouth closed and then he stood and left. "Get back to work or else I'm going to wake her up." Sesshomaru ordered. Without a sound everyone disappeared and Sesshomaru closed the door, he had a lot of paper work that needed signing.

"Hey, that bloodlust from Caitlin is gone." Erin said.
"Werid.." InuYasha muttered.
"It just doesn't disappear like that." Kouga agreed.
"What do you mean?" Erin asked, still being knew at this she didn't know better.
"Well when you're hungry, does your hunger, just disappear suddenly when you've eaten, or does it take time?" Kouga asked.
"It takes time.." Erin answered.
"So in other words, someone happened to Caitlin to just make her bloodlust disappear in the blink of an eye. It doesn't do that, so we're assuming that some has happened." InuYasha continued.
"Then let's go! Caitlin's the only way that I can see all my friends again!" Erin yelped. "Uh...which way?" Erin asked.
"That way." Kouga and InuYasha said at the same time.
"Thanks! Now c'mon!" Erin grabbed Kouga by the hand then started to drag him in the direction of where Caitlin had been.
"We'll catch up later..." InuYasha muttered, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku had all gone back to sleep.
"Erin slow down! You're still not used to being a half demon!" Kouga said, he stopped and Erin was pulled back into his chest. "Calm down, I'm sure that nothing happened to Caitlin, Aetwin probably took over Caitlin's body again." Kouga added.
"You're right, but I can't help it. She's my friend and she means a lot to me." Erin said. "Without her I'll never be able to get back to my friends and family. I just want to go home, I've senced demons all around us, and some have aura so fowl they give me the shivers. I like my time better."
"It's not that bad, you'll get use to it. Besides, I'll always protect you." Kouga said as he pulled Erin into a hug. Erin smiled and burried her face in his chest.
"I just want to go home..." Erin whispered.
It hurt Kouga to see Erin like this and not being able to do anything. All he wanted to do was to get her to stop crying and for her to be happy again. She wasn't cut out for this time.

--One Week Later--
For the first time since Caitlin had fallen asleep she opened her eyes. She rubbed the rest of the sleepiness from her eyes and looked around. She had no clue where she was, and how the hell she got there.
After she had thrown off the blankets and sheets she walked over to the door with noise coming from it. She opened the door a crack and saw someone that she didn't know.
Long white hair? Wait...sliding doors? Caitlin thought to herself. Then everything came flooding back, she was in Sesshomaru's castle, and she had been sleeping in his bed.
"Whoa! That's a wake up call!" Caitlin said outloud as she blinked a few times. Then the door slid all the way open and Sesshomaru was towering over her. "Uh...hi?" Caitlin asked. Quickly she stood and was eye level with Sesshomaru. "How long have I been sleeping?"
"A week." Sesshomaru answered.
"A w-w-week?!" Caitlin asked as her eyes widened and she thought about how long Sesshomaru and then others had been at her house, and how long they had been in the Feudal Era. "Ooooh man! My mom and step dad and sister should be home any days! What's gonna happen if I'm not there?! Oh man oh man oh maaaaaaaan!" Caitlin as she hit her head on the wall.
"Cait! Chill!" Erin said, Caitlin looked up and Erin was there.
"When did you get here?" Caitlin asked.
"Six days ago." Kouga answered as he came in the room, his arm was on Erin's waist.
"When did you establish that?" Caitlin asked with a raised eyebrow while pointing at Kouga's hand, Erin and Kouga both blushed and then pulled away. "Hey..Erin...gotten far?" Caitlina whispered into her friends ear.
"CAITLIN!" Erin yelped. Caitlin laughed and then sat down on the bed. "Oh, so when did you start sleeping in Sesshomaru's bed?" Erin asked.
"Since a week ago. I had no say in it. I just ended up there." Caitlin answered like it wasn't a big deal, Erin's plan had been foiled, and instead it made her look bad.
"Are you two done throwing insults at each other?" Sango asked.
"No not yet." Erin and Caitlin said at the same time.
"Tell me Erin, how has it been with everyone doing everything for you?" Caitlin asked.
"Great, how has it been sleeping the days away and having nothing to do with what's going on?" Erin asked.
"Wonderful!" Caitlin answered, then she turned to Sango. "NOW we're done."
"Okay, well we have two problems." Kagome chimed in. "First, Naraku's back in this time and he's out to get us all, and Second there are new people that are after us, but I have no clue why." Kagome added.
"Uh...make that three problems..." Caitlin muttered.
"What?" InuYasha asked.
"I don't have my Time powers any more. When I got rid of Aetwin she took them with her." Caitlin said.
"WHAT?!" Erin yelled as she looked at her friend. "You mean we CAN'T get back!? No! You still have your powers! I know you do! Stop playing this cruel joke and send us back!" Erin yelled. Caitlin stood and loked at her friend.
"Erin, if I could I wo-" Caitlin began.
"STOP! SEND US BACK!" Erin yelled.
"ERIN! I can't! If I do then I die! I only have a shred of my power left, everything else went with Aetwin!" Caitlin said, then Erin slapped her friend. Caitlin's eyes were wide and Erin was glaring at her.
"How could you do that?!" Erin growled.
"Do what?" Caitlin asked, she had lost all remorse and now didn't care what happned to Erin.
"Let her take your powers so we couldn't go back." Erin answered.
"I don't want to go back. I don't belong there any more and neither do you. You know it. Stop trying to be human again, it's not going to happen and you know it." Caitlin said. "This is what happens when I make friends, you can find a different way home." Caitlin said, she pushed past Erin and walked out of the room, leaving them all in stunned silence.
"She's right you know." InuYasha said.
"Sit." Kagome ordered. InuYasha's face hit the floor. InuYasha growled, this was more than he liked to be sit.
"Kagome, do it again." Erin ordered.
"Sit." Kagome said again, InuYasha glared up at Erin, but her glare was worse then Kagome's, at the moment anyways.
"Thank you." Erin said to Kagome, Kagome nodded and then Erin left the room.
