Disclaimer: I don't own Inu Yasha

Chapter 3- What's HE doing here?

As I entered the room I slowly looked around taking in my surroundings. The walls were made of a bluish marble and the floor was white. A staircase was to the left and when I looked up I noticed there were four levels to it. I began to get dizzy from looking up so I returned my gaze to the walls to admire the artwork that hung on them. One of them was of a little girl around the age of five or six laughing; hanging around her neck was a light blue crescent moon with a black glittery star necklace, Hey that looks familiar! I thought as I heard footsteps approaching me and me quickly turned around to be greeted by the demon lord of the north himself.

"Well hello Miko, I don't believe we have been properly introduced now have we?" he smirked extending his arm to mine. I took it and he led me to the dinning room where he sat me down next to him. I examined him with wary eyes and I noticed that he was an Inu demon like Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru. He had a brown tail slung over his shoulder and he had a red star on his forehead and along his checks two black stripes. I couldn't help but think that he looked familiar somehow. It was like deja vu.

"My name is Higurashi Kagome, and you are?" I questioned as he looked at me with a shocked look on his face.

"I am Lord Spike of the Northern Lands," he stated proudly.

"Do you have a last name?" I questioned curiously.

"It is of little importance," he stated as a servant walked out with food in his hand.

"Milord," he said placing it in front of him. He then walked over to me with a glare and set a plate in front of me making sure it clanked onto the table.

What's his problem? Jerk, giving me evil stares just because I'm human I thought bitterly. I felt like sticking my tongue out at him or flipping him the bird, either one would have worked but I decided against it because it would have been childish of me to do so.

"Why did you ask me here?" I questioned taking a bite of the food in front of me. It wasn't that good but I guess I had to deal for now, didn't want to appear disrespectful, if you know what I mean or his nicely sharpened claws might find my neck pretty interesting.

"Yes, I was wondering about you. You are a powerful Miko are you not?" he questioned eyeing me. I looked up to him and looked into his blue eyes.

"If you consider one like me strong," I stated turning my eyes back to my food.

"I'll take that as a yes. I would like to know how you obtained this awesome power, no miko has ever possessed as much as you do. Not even the Great miko Kikyo," he stated causing me to blush at the compliment, come on! He just said I was better than Kikyo! THE Kikyo! I felt like laughing.

"I don't know, I never considered myself strong, my comrades always consider me weak so I put on a weak appearance so they don't think of me differently," I explained.

"I see, so why do you dress so different from the rest of us?" he questioned and I put my fork down.

"What are you talking about?" I questioned dumbly looking down at the kimono I was wear.

"The clothes that you wear while looking for the Shikon No Tama shards, you wear some rather revealing clothes for this era," he stated.

" Oh that, you see, your going to think I'm crazy for saying this but when I was 15 a demon dragged me into a well and it transported me 500 years into the past," I said meekly. Stupid Kagome don't tell him that! Ugh, me and my big mouth, I guess the cats out of the bag.

"I see, so you're not from this time," he said as he got a small smile on his face. He looked down at my hands and noticed three rings that I wore. One was my class ring in which I never took off, then a mood ring, which was currently green sensing my nervousness and on the same finger that was another ring. It had moons and stars on it, that one; let's just say that one was still a mystery to me.

"Where did you get that ring with the moon and the stars?" he questioned eyeing my finger. I looked down to the ring on my left middle finger.

"I've had it ever since I was little, I don't know who gave it to me, but every time I try to take it off it won't like it's stuck on my finger so I just gave up on it," I stated fingering the designs on the ring, "it's a good thing I actually like the thing."

"I see and why do you wear that other ring in front of it?" he questioned as I took it off and handed it to him.

"It's very special to me, my brother Souta gave it to me my sixteenth birthday," I stated as he handed it back and I placed it back on my finger.

"So, your brother is still in your time," he stated motioning me to stand up as he did.

"Yes," I stated walked behind him as he lead me to another room. I heard a scream and I knew it belonged to Shippo so I quickly ran to the scene.

"MOMMY!" he yelled as I saw a guy holding him up by the neck growling.

"Put my pup down, now!" I growled at the man as he threw him to the ground but he stood back up quickly. A blade appeared in my hand and I pushed the guy up against the wall holding the blade to his neck. I finally looked up at him and gasped at who it was, holy hell. Shippo was hiding behind my leg and I put my free hand on his head to calm him a bit.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I wasn't expecting to see you back so soon, I see you met my guest," Spike smirked as the blade disappeared and I picked Shippo up.

"Mommy, he tried to get information about Inu Yasha out of me!" he stated.

"Did he now?" I questioned glaring at Sesshomaru.

"What's your problem, wench?" Sesshomaru questioned walking over to Spike.

"Please stay awhile, one of my servants will show you to the hot spring so you may bath if you so desire," Spike said as I nodded walking off.

What is HE doing here? I questioned grunting in response to myself as I heard a snore from my arms. I looked down to see Shippo's sleeping form in my arms and I smiled down at him.

"Sleep well my pup," I stated kissing him on the forehead.
