Chapter 9

Unknown Emotions and Sesshomaru's Interest

Serena ran back to where the well was. She hopped into it and, after arriving back in her own time, climbed out of the well. Kagome apparently left the doors open before she came to the feudal era.

Serena walked back to the house in a daze. She couldn't understand her feelings she had for a guy she just attacked only a few hours ago.

She walked into the house and found it empty. Mom, Souta, and Gramps must have gone out for dinner.

She went up to her room and sat on her bed. On the floor was the sword box with Sesshomaru's kimono next to it. She slid off the bed and onto the floor. She picked up the kimono and held it in her arms.

She could barely smell his scent in the robes. Letting her chin rest on her knees, she looked up at the Tensaiga still mounted on the wall. Why do I feel like this? She thought as she continued to stare at the sword on the wall. Why do I feel like he's special to me?

---------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Sesshomaru was fully dressed and was looking for Serena. For some reason, she was all he could think about. He could smell her scent leading away from the village; he quickly followed it into the forest. Her scent lead him to a well, but he still didn't find her. The scent ended right at the well.

He touched the rim of the well and he could somehow feel an ora of time coming from the well. The scent of Kagome and Inuyasha were all over the well. Serena's scent wasn't as strong. The scent reminded him of sweet lavender.

But then his hearing picked up the sound of foot steps coming from behind him. It was the familiar scent of Inuyasha that let him know who it was behind him.

"What are you doing here Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha said with loathing.

"Why do I have to answer myself to you Inuyasha?" Sesshomaru faced him.

"Because I said so!" Inuyasha said while withdrawing Tetsusaiga from it's sheath.

Sesshomaru took out the Tokejin and prepared to attack.

-------------------------------------------

Serena just finished packing the few things she needed in the feudal ora. In her messenger bag was a sketch book, a few pencils, a pencil sharpener, hairbrush, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste and her digital camera.

From her desk she found a long strip of leather. She used it as a way to carry the Tensaiga on her back. She then took off the red kimono and put on the white one. The sleeves of the white kimono were longer then the red one. She wore the red kimono over the white kimono, wrapped the sash around her waist, and put the Tetsusaiga back in its place between the wraps of the sash. She then slung Tensaiga on her back, picked up her messenger bag and left her house.

Serena came back to the feudal era and heard a clashing of swords. She used all her strength to jump out of the well to see what all the commotion was about.

When she landed beside the well, she saw the dog demon brothers fighting.

She watched as the sword slashed and clanged against each other. She also heard what they were talking about.

"You think your the boss of me you bastard!" Inuyasha said swinging his Tetsusaiga at Sesshomaru's head.

He ducked and said, "Well I am your older brother." He stood up straight and held his sword straight across his chest. Electric blue lightning sparks came flowing from his blade. Inuyasha took his stand and his sword started to glow red.

She had to stop this fight so she ran between them but faced Sesshomaru. The sparks from his sword seased and he just looked at here. He thought, What is she doing?

She pointed a finger at him and yelled, "HEEL BOY!

His roserary glowed and then he slammed to the ground. Serena went over to him and heard Inuyasha laughing at him. But, in the distance, she heard a faint voice say, "SIT BOY!"

Inuyasha laughing suddenly stopped as his face met the ground. Serena knelt down next to Sesshomaru as Kagome came into the clearing. "Inuyasha, you're hopeless."

Serena checked Sesshomaru and found that he was fine. His wounds were healed but she needed to get the bandages off of him.

"Come on, Sesshomaru. I need to get those bandages off of you."

Sesshomaru had a slight headache from the fall, but he didn't get up. I'm an embarrassment to all demons, he thought as he used his sword to get off the ground. But maybe I'll stay with this girl. I'm very interested in what else she can do.
