Hiii guys (: Thanks so much for the reviews. I really appreciate them. Soooo yeah I really don't know what to say...lolol. On the with show?


"Kanna, why haven't you done anything more to stop this fool from ruining her life? I'm trusting you, Kanna, everyone's lives are at stake here and you're playing goody apathetic doll again?" The man in the shadows snarled out at the young girl.

Sighing, Kanna paced around the room, "You don't understand how difficult being apathetic is, alright? I haven't been like that in 500 years! He needs to believe that I spent those years in hiding, waiting for him. You cannot be so brash, like you said, everyone's lives are at stake. We cannot rush memories are returning at an incredible pace, they started to come back in merely four days. And I used strong restraints on her, I planning to loosen them as time went by, I had no idea she'd still be so strong after what happened. You have no idea how difficult it was to grab her before she really killed herself and replace her with that doll. Lord Sesshoumaru is NOT one who is easily fooled, distraught or not. Don't let your anger ruin what we have worked so hard to achieve, mutt." Kanna ended her speech with a sneer.

The man was speechless, "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU CALL ME? And I'll have you know that I am in perfect control of myself, so don't go nagging to me about ruining our plans." He turned and pretended to sulk in his chair.

Sighing, Kanna looked at him, "I've just been frustrated with my acting. I'd like to think that you do nothing but sit there all day and get fed by your, sometimes disgustingly willing mate, but I do know better. Next time, just prove that you do more than what it seems like or I will make sure that you have a bigger job. We may let them know that you're in charge because they trust you over me, but we all know that I am the mastermind behind this plan here. Don't disappoint me." Kanna abruptly took her leave, scowling.


"Mama! I'm going to go run to the store to get some stuff, alright?" Kagome yelled as she put on her shoes. Mia poked her head out of the kitchen, "Could you grab some milk, as well, Kagome? We're out and I can't bake without it." Smiling, Kagome replied in the affirmative and headed out.


"Rin, I am heading down to the store to get some ingrediants for dinner tonight, do you need anything?" The girl shook her head, "It's fine Papa, just hurry on back." Smiling, the tall man left the house.


"Hmmmm, Poptarts! Yes we need those, oh and right, milk. I think I'm going to get some celery and ranch, yummy! Ooh and gum!" Giggling, Kagome headed towards the register. Humming towards herself, she wasn't paying attention until she bumped into someone else.

"Oh my, I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention, here let me help you with that." Kagome kneeled down to help the man she had ran into. He pushed her hands away, "It's fine. I can handle it. Please be more aware next time." He started to scold her until he looked up, 'It's not possible. She died, but here she is, just as she was all those centuries ago." Kagome waved her hands in front of the man's face, "Hello? Anyone home? I said I was sorry, sheesh, no need to lecture me."

He shook his head to clear his thoughts, "I apologize for my rudeness, I simply am not used to doing grocery shopping and therefore I do not like to run into people. My name is Sesshoumaru Taishou." Sticking a hand out, he introduced himself to her. She smiled brightly, "Kagome Higurashi! Say, do I know you from somewhere? You seem really familiar, but I can't remember. Then again, I can't remember anything from the past six years, crazy, isn't it?" Laughing nervously to herself, she started to turn and walk away when she noticed that he wasn't responding.

Sesshoumaru reached out and grabbed her arm, "Sorry, you just had me stunned there. Six years is quite awhile, but I actually do know someone who specializes in working with people with amnesia. My friend is well known for being able to guide all of her patients back to their memories, she has never failed." Kagome looked at him with wide eyes, "Really? Oh, but if she's too expensive I don't know if my family can afford her." Kagome sighed softly. Sesshoumaru firmly shook his head, "Cost is no problem. Let me worry about it, it's the least I can do for being so rude. In my family, it is unacceptable, often punished with death." He said, grinning. Kagome looked at him, her mouth gaping, until she saw the grin on his face, "Oh my God I thought you were serious!" Sesshoumaru chuckled quietly, "So what do you say? I'll give you my card and we'll discuss it at another time? I'm sure that you need to get going, and I have dinner to cook for my eldest daughter and her family."

Kagome looked crestfallen at the mention of a daughter, but cheered up almost immediately, "Oh yes! Please, that would be absolutely wonderful!" Sesshoumaru looked at her, and then said, "Tell you what, how about you come over for dinner tonight, and we'll discuss it there? My friend will also be there tonight and it would be extremely convenient." He watched as she bit her lip, considering his offer. "I don't take no for an answer, Miss Higurashi." Her head shot up at him and she laughed, "Well then are you picking me up or are you going to give me your address?" He replied, "I'll pick you up at six, alright?" She nodded, "Just go to the Higurashi Shrine, then."

Smiling, Kagome left and paid for her items.

Sesshoumaru picked up his cell phone, "Rin, I ran into her. She isn't gone, it seems, she's coming over tonight, but she cannot recall the past six years of her life. Invite Kanna and her sister over tonight, as well as the wolf and his family, the monk and his famly, and the hanyou and his devil's spawn of children."


As Kagome entered her home, she heard her mother call her into the kitchen, "Was everything alright, dear? You were gone an awful long time." Kagome nodded happily, "Yeah Mama, I just ran into someone is all. Actually, I'm going over to have dinner, tonight. He says that he knows someone who can help me with my amnesia!" Mia looked curiously at her daughter, but didn't say anything. Kagome could take care of herself, after those years in the feudal era, even if she couldn't remember, Mia was sure that if she was in trouble, all of her skills would subconsciously arise. "Well, ten, you better get ready. It's already five and I am sure that you will have to leave soon."

Kissing her mother on the cheek, Kagome ran upstairs to get ready.

After a 15 minute shower, Kagome picked out a nice black blouse and skinny jeans. To pull off her semi-casual look, she put on a pair of heels. Deciding to leave her hair down, she quickly applied some eyeliner and lip gloss. She heard the doorbell ring and looked at the clock, 'Six o'clock on the dot. Wow.' Grabbing her purse, Kagome hurried downstairs, "Bye Mama! I might be home late today so don't wait for me! I have a key!" She opened the door to see Sesshoumaru, "Hi there, "She said a little breathlessly, 'Wow he looks gorgeous." Sesshoumaru was dressed in a pair of black slacks and a white button up shirt, with a few buttons undone. "Am I too casual? I can change real fast if you want." Sesshoumaru shook his head, grabbed her arm, and gently pulled her towards the steps, "You look beautiful, Miss Higurashi. Besides, it's simply dinner at home, you look perfect." Blushing darkly, she nodded and allowed for him to lead her down the many steps of the shrine and into his car.

The drive to his home was comfortably quiet and as his mansion started to come into view, Kagome couldn't help but speak up, "That's your home? That's a CASTLE!" Sesshoumaru chuckled, "It has been in my family for centuries, and it's so far away from the city that no one is really bothered by it." Nodding dumbly, she couldn't help but feel a little self-conscious. "Kagome, do not worry, money is not everything, it is simply something that I have because of the many things that have stayed in my family over the generations. I own a few museums all over Japan." He immediately had her attention, "I love museums! Which ones do you own?" Sesshoumaru kept his eyes on the road, "Here in Tokyo I own the Tokyo Museum of Feudal Times." (A/N: I totally made that up, so I don't think it really exists.)

Kagome looked at him, eyes wide, "Now that we're friends does that mean I get free admission and food?" Sesshoumaru raised a brow, "People like you enforce the cheap Asians stereotype, you know." Grinning sheepishly, Kagome rubbed the back of her head, "Yeah, well, I wasn't joking, you know. The amount of money I spend on museum trips alone could probably pay for a year of college." Sesshoumaru was tempted to stare are the strange girl, "You should just live there, then." Laughing, Kagome replied, "Don't think I haven't considered it."

Shaking his head, he answered her question, "You're welcome to visit anytime you wish. I will make sure to get you a lifetime pass. Also, if you wish, you can come in before and after hours, as well. The museum is at its best, then." Kagome squealed in excitement, "Thank you so much Sesshoumaru!" Happy that Kagome was finally relaxed around him, Sesshoumaru parked his car in his garage and moved to open the door for her. Her nervous scent was starting to bother him a bit, because he had never had to experience it with her before.


Walking Kagome to the formal dining hall, Sesshoumaru heard Jaken announce his arrival, as well as Kagome's snicker at the fact that he was announced at all. Entering the hall, he saw his friend, Kouga, jump up in his seat, "Shit, Fluffy, when you told us you had a surprise for us, you didn't tell us it was-" Ayame, the smart demoness she was, quickly slapped her hand over his mouth and filled in for him, "Such a beautiful date. Kouga was shocked that you brought someone back at all." Ayame quickly covered for her mate's running mouth.

Smiling, Kagome introduced herself, "Hi, my name is Kagome Higurashi. It's a pleasure to meet you." A chorus of welcomes resounded through the room as she took in every face there. It seems as if Sesshoumaru was surrounded by families. Suddenly, a thought ran through her mind, 'Date? But I thought he had children!' Kagome looked up at Sesshoumaru and whispered furiously, "Why did she call me your date? What would your wife think? Which one is she?" Blinking, Sesshoumaru took a few seconds to understand her. When it dawned on him that she thought that Rin and Shippou were his blood children, from when he mentioned them earlier, he was quick to correct her, "I don't have a wife." Sesshoumaru saw her eyes go wide and fill with regret, cutting her off before she could babble on further, he continued, "I adopted two children many years ago."

Nodding, Kagome flushed a deep red. "Well, you've got yourself a looker there, Fluffy." Kouga spoke up once again, after hearing Ayame explain the situation to him. Glaring at the idiot wolf, Sesshoumaru spoke, "Ayame, I suggest you keep your man in line, lest he lose something, like an eye, for gawking at others. We all know how sour your temper is." Ayame flushed and grinned, "Hear that, Kouga? He's letting me pop out an eye if you keep that up." Paling, Kouga quickly looked down and the whole room bursted into laughter.
