Sesshomaru's gaze made Toshiro feel more uncomfortable then he already felt about being in a girl's body in a strange world full of demons. He wondered if he should tell this demon who he really was, and see if he could get help, or if he should pretend to be her and gather more information. He already knew how she sounded like, since he'd seen her right before that strange jewel turned his whole life upside down.

The problem with telling this guy about himself was that, he didn't know if he could trust him. But, he could be a vital piece to his solution, and Toshiro was willing to take the risk, if it meant getting out of this woman's body as soon as possible.

Toshiro clenched his hands and closed his eyes. He made his decision.

"I am not lying… I really am not…Kagome." He started slowly.

"Oh?" Sesshomaru asked, genuinely interested. His white eyebrows raised, and Toshiro felt like he didn't believe him. I wouldn't believe myself in this get up, Toshiro thought to himself; groaning in his head. Of course this was far-fetched. Maybe I was meant to meet this guy, Toshiro reasoned, that would explain why he was conveniently in the area. Or maybe I'm just shortening my life span… he thought on a more pessimistic note.

"Then… who are you?" he asked Toshiro.

"My name is captain Hitsugaya of the 10th division in Soul Society. I have been placed in this woman's body by a small half formed pink sparkling jewel. I … encountered that fool Inyuasha and saved him. I didn't realize what an ass he was until it was too late." Toshiro said, grimly.

"What was that foolish mutt doing?" Sesshomaru muttered to himself. "What makes you so sure it was the Shikon jewel that did this?" he asked calmly.

Toshiro was surprised. He thought that no matter who it was, that if they heard that he was from a different world, that they would freak. Or just kill him. Or freak out and then kill him; not like he could stop them in this pathetic body. "Shikon?... so that's its name…" he said.

Sesshomaru's gaze intensified, and he stood up. Toshiro automatically tensed up, as Sesshomaru walked closer to him. "K-keep your distance!" Toshiro stammered. His heart was beating fast, but his limbs turned to jelly. Shit, he thought as his heart beat in his ears. Stupid woman's hormones, he complained. So this is how girls act when they hit puberty…. Damn it why me? He complained. His mind, but it was her body. Sesshomaru stared into Toshiro's eyes, and Toshiro kept thinking, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, FUCK.

"So…" he started slowly, "Is Toshiro a boy's name?"

Toshiro was totally thrown off guard. "The hell? Of course it IS!" he snapped.

"Oh." Sesshomaru snickered, "Toshira seems more fitting…"

Toshiro snapped. He lashed out at Sesshomaru who caught his flying fist in less than a heart beat. He smiled sneakily. "I was right… you are interesting." Toshiro's face blushed from embarrassment. Sesshomaru paused and then pinned Toshiro to the ground.

"What the HELL do you think you're doing!" Toshiro stammered angrily trying to control the annoying woman's hormones. It was hard with a demon on top of him. Sure form a girl's point of view this Sesshomaru would pass for sexy or whatever, but Toshiro wasn't a girl!

"You really are an interesting woman… quite an interesting lie you've come up with…" Sesshomaru said velvety.

"The FUCK. I AM NOT KAGOME!" Toshiro yelled, and he punched Sesshomaru in the face.

Sesshomaru was stunned for only a half second, and then the next thing Toshiro knew, Sesshomaru had him pinned tighter than before. "Hm… wonder if that mutt will come sniffing around here for his girl… " he said, leaning close to Toshiro's ear. Toshiro glared at him venomously.

"I am not lying." He growled.

Sesshomaru touched Toshiro's neck, and a jolt of electricity shot through his body. Sesshomaru traced his finger to a small necklace around his neck that Toshiro failed to notice at first. It held the Shikon jewel. "This is the jewel that you said changed you… is it not?" Sesshomaru asked coolly.

"Yes it is, now please get the HELL off of me, or so help me I will fucking send you to an early grave!" Toshiro seethed.

"I've decided….you're not Kagome." Said Sesshomaru, allowing Toshiro to scramble away from his grasp.

"No shit." Toshiro growled.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" called out the little girl called Rin. She came back and in her arms she had berries and fruit. Jokin came in tow with some berries as well, but he was huffing and weazing and complaining. "Rin really now, so much… and we still have to get more…"

Sesshomaru got up, and walked towards Rin. "Here you are, Lord Sesshomaru." She said, smiling this radiant innocent look as she looked at him with affection and adoration. Toshiro clenched his teeth. Nothing adoring about that guy. That was for sure.

"Jokin, come and help me pick more berries, let Rin take a break." Sesshomaru said silkily. As they were walking away, Jokin was complaining.

"M'Lord, I could never ask you to do such a tedious task as picking food. With your hands, they should not be dirtied with the mere-"

"Jokin."

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Shut up and help me pick the damn berries."

They were too far away for Rin to hear, but Toshiro's hearing was excellent since he was highly trained in all senses. He snorted.

"Lord Sesshomaru acts tough, but he's really nice." She said happily.

Yeah well, he hasn't tried to top you yet… Toshiro thought grumpily.

"Kagome… are you hungry?" she asked, offering some berries.

"No… no thanks." Toshiro shook his head. "Rin… was it? What… kind of creatures do you have in your world?" he asked casually.

Rin looked at him curiously. "Normal animals, but we also have demons. But not all demons are bad, just look at Lord Sesshomaru."

Oh yah… he's a great example… Toshiro thought sarcastically. "Right right… do you know anything about this …Shikon jewel?"

"I know that demons want it because it'll make them more powerful… but it only has brought pain to those who encounter it…" she said. "Kagome. Are you sure you're alright? You look like you've just been through a bad experience…"

I am… I'm living it… he wanted to say, but instead he shook his head. He tried to smile, and said, "It's just a… off day I guess…."

Rin grinned. "I get it, you're on your period." She said smiling understandedly. "I know what it's like to talk to someone when they're on their period… they're kinda annoyed and get mad easily."

Toshiro decided not to deter her from her reasoning. "Do you know what the Shikon jewel does exactly?" he asked Rin.

"No…. I just know that it makes the demon stronger. Not even with the full jewel. Just a shard will make even a small demon powerful…" she responded. "Of course, Lord Sesshomaru doesn't need the jewel, cuz he's the strongest demon ever! He's brave and kind and-"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, he's a demon saint." Toshiro said, cutting her off. He wasn't sure he wanted this guy's help anymore… but he had no other connection in this world. He shuddered. Finding answers was not worth the sexual harassment. He decided he'd find someone more reliable. He didn't know who yet.

"Rin, I need to go find Inyuasha, please tell your … friends that I'm sorry I can't stay longer." Toshiro said, trying to hopefully pass for Kagome.

"Ok. See you around Kagome." Rin said, smiling.

Yeah… Not… Toshiro ran in the woods, getting as far away as he could from that Sesshomaru. He really wanted to change out of a skirt, but what would he change into? He figured he'd worry about that once he got to a human town, or village. He guessed that he was in the country considering that everywhere around him was farmland. No city buildings in site. He managed to come across a village and he thought, first I need to get some information, and then, I need to change. He slowed to a walk and entered the village.

Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. "Kagome!" and Toshiro groaned. Oh no….

"Kagome! There you are! We've been looking everywhere for you! You picked a helluva horrible time to go missing!" Inyuasha yapped annoyed. Toshiro did not have time to deal with him. He noticed the soul links were gone, and no hole in his chest. Great… the Shikon jewel must've brought him back to his world…. but it brought me along for the ride…. He thought glumly.

"You idiot! You didn't see me when we were in that city! And then I met this obnoxious shinigami kid, I mean, he was ten and he had a sword that shot ice. That was made OF ice." Inyuasha was complaining. A vein in Toshiro's forehead twitched. Inyuasha thinks I'm Kagome… I can use that to my advantage… he finally decided.

"Kagome! There you are!" a small little peculiar blonde creature said happily. It had big green fox eyes, and a big bushy blonde tail and hair. " Shippo! Where is everyone?" Inyuasha asked impatiently. "Everyone is with Lady Kyate." Shippo responded. Inyuasha growled, "Well come on Kagome! We haven't got all day!"

"Tell him to SIT Kagome!" Shippo said, glaring. "That's no way for him to treat you!"

Toshiro didn't think telling him to sit would change him… but he decided it couldn't hurt anyone to say it. "Shippo, it's alright." He said, in his best Kagome impression. "I know that violence is never the answer, and it should only be a last resort…" Inyuasha nodded agreeingly.

"..But then again, it's not like I listen to that crap. SIT!" he yelled. To his amazement Inyuasha's necklace glowed and then a split second later, his face was smashed into the ground. Oooh… Toshiro thought, a smile spreading across his face, I could get used to this. "SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!" he crowed, and a Inyuasha sized crater was left with a very scraggly .., beaten up Inyuasha. "Whoa… you must've made Kagome really mad Inyuasha…" Shippo said in awe.

You have no idea how much…. Toshiro thought.
