Chapter 2: Four Years Later

"Sesshoumaru!" a young woman yelled, running to catch up to him. He just kept walking away, not even acknowledging her presence, he knew who she was. Kagura Onigumo had made it her goal to make herself his girlfriend since he met her a week ago when he started high school. She was a wind demon from the prep crowd who thought she was the queen of the school and could have anything she wanted, and she wanted Sesshoumaru, even though he never gave her the time of day, and always, in his mind anyway, compared her to Kagome. He knew that by now Kagome could have forgotten about him, but he seriously doubted it, and he always wore the locket she gave him, because it was one of the only pictures he had of her.

"Sesshoumaru! Wait up!" Kagura yelled, running faster to catch up with him. When he finally lost her, he continued on his way home; he had stayed late after school to talk to one of his teachers. Apparently, they were getting a new student the next day and he wanted him to show her around. It was nearly 5:30 and it was getting darker. Though because of him being a dog demon and he could see in the dark very well, it wasn't advised for anyone to stay out late after dark. The last few weeks there had been reports of humans and demons a like being found nearly dead, their energy drained. The victims all said they couldn't see their attacker, but they swore that they saw a teenage girl with ebony colored hair with silver highlights and gray eyes wearing a sailor suit with a gray hood and skirt and ankle high gray high heeled boots attack whatever was attacking them before they passed out and was always gone when they came to. When he first heard about the rumors about this girl, he scoffed, if a demon can be taken down by whatever this thing is, how could a human girl take it down so easily.

Soon he heard rustling from behind and thought that Kagura had found him again. Turning around to tell her off, he was soon caught by a giant tentacle that was slowly draining him of his energy, however, a spark of light came out of the shadows and soon he found himself pulled out of the tentacle's reach by gentle hands and laid down on the ground. Sesshoumaru quickly opened his eyes and was surprised by what was in front of him.

In front of him was a girl about his age with long ebony hair with silver highlights and gray eyes wearing a sailor suit with a gray hood and skirt with ankle high gray high heeled boots, looking at him concern and urgency.

"Are you alright?" she asked in a quiet voice.

"I know that voice!" Sesshoumaru thought as he nodded. She quickly nodded in return and turned to whatever had attacked him. As she turned, Sesshoumaru registered her scent.

"Lilac and chamomile! That's Kagome's scent!" he thought.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" the creature said.

"How dare you attack an innocent!" the girl yelled, "For this crime, I cannot forgive you! As the soldier of love and justice, I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! I am Sailor Moon! Enemy of the Negaverse and that means you!"

"Ha! You triumph over me! What can you do?" the creature scoffed.

"UGH! Moon Tiara Magic!" Sailor Moon yelled, throwing her tiara at the creature once again, turning it to dust. She turned to walk back into the shadows until Sesshoumaru called, "Wait!" causing her to stop.

"Thank you for helping me, but who are you?" he asked.

"No one of importance," she replied and jumped into the shadows, leaving Sesshoumaru confused. However, he brushed it off and continued on his way home, never noticing the dark figure following him, her gray eyes following his every move until he was no longer in her sight.

"It was great to see you again, Sesshoumaru-kun," she whispered and disappeared into the darkness, staying into the shadows until she came to a shrine. Using her fast reflexes, she climbed up the God Tree and jumped from a branch onto a window ledge where glowing lavender eyes greeted her.

"Welcome back, Sailor Moon," a female voice said, "I trust that your rounds were eventful." Sailor Moon flipped the light switch to reveal a small blue cat with a gold crescent moon on her forehead sitting on the desk top by the laptop computer.

"Yes, Luna, very eventful," Sailor Moon answered as she de-transformed into a girl with long ebony hair, dark blue eyes, and curvaceous body wearing black spaghetti strap shirt and dark blue jeans. After she took a shower and changed into a black tank top and a pair of black shorts, she turned to the picture frame on her night stand. It was a picture of Sesshoumaru, Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, and her on one of their field trips to the zoo.

"I miss you guys," Kagome whispered as she flipped the light switch off and laid down on her bed and went to sleep.

The next morning, Sesshoumaru got up and left for school earlier than normal; his teacher had told him to come early to show the new girl to her classes. When he pulled into the school parking lot, he noticed a dark blue mustang convertible that he had never seen before and demised that must be the new girl's car.

"Great," he thought, "Another rich kid, not that I can talk." After parking, he entered the school and immediately caught a familiar scent. He followed the scent towards the office, went in, and saw a girl about his age with thigh length ebony hair, dark blue eyes, and a body that many of the girls in the school would have killed for. She was wearing a light blue sweater that stopped just below her shoulders with a darker blue tank top underneath it and dark blue jeans. Needless to say, this girl was very attractive. Sesshoumaru stared at her from the corner of his eye as the approached Ms. Cartwright, the secretary's desk. She was a middle aged woman with bright green eyes, brown hair, and a thin frame. When she looked up, she was surprised to seem him there and asked, "Is there something I can help you with, Taisho-san?"

"Mr. Myouga asked me to show the new girl around," he replied.

"Oh, please have a seat and Ms. Miko will be with you in just a moment," Ms. Cartwright said with a small smile as he nodded and had a seat by the new girl. It was not long before the door to the principal's office opened and Ms. Miko looked out and smiled.

"Ms. Higurashi, Mr. Taisho, you can come in now," she said. Hearing the new girl's last name Sesshoumaru's eyes widened and whipped his head around to look at her. Kagome didn't say anything, just stood up walked toward Ms. Miko's office with grace and dignity, Sesshoumaru's eyes following her every move.

"Mr. Taisho, are coming or not?" Ms. Miko stated, making him jump up and follow Kagome into her office and take the seat next to her. Chuckling, Ms. Miko closed her door and sat in the seat behind her desk.

"Ms. Higurashi, let me just take the time to welcome you to Shikon High," Ms. Miko said, "You can call me Kaede like everyone else. I asked your home room teacher to have one of the students in his class to show you around today. Ms. Higurashi, this is Mr. Sesshoumaru Taisho. Mr. Taisho, this is Miss Kagome Higurashi."

"We know each other," Kagome said in a voice that sounded like to music to Sesshoumaru's ears.

"Oh, good, well here is your schedule, and I hope you enjoy your time here at Shikon High School," Kaede said to which Kagome nodded and stood up following Sesshoumaru out the door and down the hall. Looking down at her schedule, she saw that she had homeroom and social studies first period with Mr. Myouga.

"Kagome" Sesshoumaru's voice broke through her reverie as she looked at him.

"Yes, it's good to see you too, Sesshoumaru-kun," Kagome said.

"How've you been?" he asked.

"All right," she answered, "I found out that I have miko's powers a year or two back. Don't worry; I have full control of them."

"Really?" he replied.

"Yup," she stated, "How've you been?"

"As good as one can expect," Sesshoumaru replied. He was about to ask her another question when a shrill voice yelled out his name, making both him and Kagome wince. He turned and saw Kagura running towards them and groaned.

Hearing him groan, Kagome asked, "Fan girl?"

"Yup," he sighed in defeat.

"Demon," she stated. It was more of a question than a statement.

"Yup," he replied. He looked at her out of the corner of his eye and saw that her aura was flaring and was shocked. Her aura was almost as strong as his.

"She must be a very powerful miko," he thought as Kagura ran into a barrier.

"What the hell?!" she screamed and looked at Kagome, then turned to Sesshoumaru and demanded, "Who is she?"

"This is Kagome Higurashi, she's the new student," he replied in a flat tone. Then Kagome understood. He only used that tone with people he didn't like. Kagura narrowed her eyes at Kagome.

"So this is the girl that everyone was talking about," Kagura thought, "Not only that but she's a miko, a powerful one at that." Assessing the situation, Kagura determined that it would be better to get the miko into her crowd rather than let her get in her way.

"Well, then welcome to Shikon High," Kagura said, politely, causing Sesshoumaru to narrow his eyes at her, "You'll have to sit with me and my friends at lunch."

Seeing through Kagura's façade, Kagome said, "Thanks, but no thanks. Come on, Sesshoumaru, let's get to class," turning on her heel and walked away. Glaring at Kagura, Sesshoumaru turned and followed her, leaving Kagura grinding her teeth together and glaring daggers at Kagome's back.

Smirking, Kagome continued down the hall until Sesshoumaru stopped at a door with posters with timelines dated with important events from the ancient times and some from just before World War II.

"First up, Social Studies, also our home room," Sesshoumaru said, opening the door and allowing her to walk in first and closing the door behind him. Walking in, they found the teacher, a flea demon, standing on his desk.

"Mr. Myouga," Sesshoumaru stated.

"Ah, Sesshoumaru-sama, good morning," Myouga said.

Nodding, Sesshoumaru continued, "This is the new student, Kagome Higurashi. Kagome, this is Mr. Myouga."

"Ah, Ms. Higurashi, it is a pleasure to see you again," he said, "It has been a while."

"Yes, it has been a while, hasn't Myouga," Kagome replied.

"Kagome, you know Myouga," Sesshoumaru asked with wide eyes.

"Let's just say Mr. Myouga has a knack for getting into trouble and leave it at that," Kagome stated.

"Oh, so you saved him, huh?" he replied.

"Yup," she sighed as student started piling into the classroom, a few of them looking at her curiously, three of them with recognition. She smiled at the three and thought, "It's nice to see that they're still friends," as the first bell rang and Sesshoumaru found his seat by one of the windows.

"As you know class, we are getting a new student," Myouga started, "Class, I would like you to meet Miss Kagome Higurashi. Now, Miss Higurashi, there is an empty seat next to Mr. Taisho."

"Which one?" she asked, noting that both Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were in this class.

"Sesshoumaru," he replied and she nodded and took her seat. During Myouga's lecture, the brown haired girl sitting in front of her turned and said, "Kagome-chan, it's been a while."

"It has, hasn't, Sango-chan?" Kagome replied.

"Welcome back, Kagome-sama," Miroku said, who was sitting next to Sango, and she nodded at him.

"It's good to see ya, Kags," Inuyasha stated, who was sitting next to her.

"You, too, Yash," Kagome answered, "and your cute ears," reaching over giving his ears a good rub, making him purr.

"Hey, Kags, let me see your schedule," Inuyasha said as she handed it to him.

"Let's see, first period, Social Studies, second period, Advanced Music, third period, Journalism, fourth period, Calculus, fifth period, lunch, sixth period, Advanced Chemistry, seventh period, Advanced Art," Inuyasha said as he read off her classes, "Wow, you have all the same classes as nii-san," making her smirk, causing him to say, "Smart ass."

"Thank you, Yash, I take that as a compliment," Kagome answered, making Miroku chuckle and Sango to giggle, even Sesshoumaru smirked. As class progressed, Sesshoumaru kept stealing glances at Kagome. Though he wanted to, he fought the impulse to tackle her to ground and kiss her silly. That's all he wanted to do when he found out that she was the new student, but however, knowing his beast, he would end up going to far. His beast had been bugging him ever since to claim what was so obviously his, but this wasn't the time or the place for that kind thinking, however, he couldn't shake the feeling that Kagome was the one who saved him last night, the girl who goes by the alias Sailor Moon.

Later as they were walking to lunch, everyone was telling Kagome what had been happening since she moved; Sesshoumaru, however, was quiet. Not for a lack of having anything to say, no, but what he had to say, he didn't want to say in front of the others. Kagome also told them everything that had been going on with her and her family for the last four years.

"Oh my god, you are so not going to recognize Souta when you see him," Kagome said, "I swear that boy grows about 5 inches a day!"

"How old is he now?" Sango asked.

"Ten, I know I can barely believe it either," Kagome replied.

"I must say, Kagome-sama, you have become a very lovely young lady," Miroku noticed.

"Yeah, and unless you want to have children someday, Roku," Kagome warned, "Keep your hands to yourself."

"Kagome-sama, you wound me," he cried, placing his hands around his heart and pretending to faint.

"Get over it," she retorted. Sesshoumaru then grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the table and towards the door without an explanation. Inuyasha was about to follow them, but Miroku said, "Leave them alone, Yash. You know what will happen if you bother Sesshoumaru when he wants to be alone with Kagome-sama." Inuyasha only snorted and sat back down.

"Sesshoumaru-kun, where are you taking me?" Kagome asked. He didn't answer her, only continued heading outside to an area where there was a small garden filled with roses, lilacs, lavenders, orchids, and jasmine.

"Wow," Kagome gasped.

"Kagome, I have to ask you something," Sesshoumaru stated. Looking concerned, she asked, "What is it, Sesshoumaru-kun?"

"Last night I was attacked by some sort of creature that was trying to drain my energy," he replied, "However, before it could, I was saved by a girl with ebony hair with silver highlights and gray eyes."

"Sounds like you met Sailor Moon," she stated.

"However, something puzzles me," he continued, making Kagome nervous, "Her voice sounded just like yours and her scent was the same as yours and no person's scent is the same as another's, relatives smell a like, but never the same, so my question for you is this: Are you Sailor Moon?" Kagome gulped.
