Chapter 2


"Grandpa, calm down! Just let me explain." Kagome tried persuading him, slowly inching closer to him as she did.

"What are you doing here?" He took out one of his spells. "I'm not afraid to use this!"

"Grandpa!" This was going to get interesting. She was waiting to see how Sesshomaru was going to react to this.

He continue to ignore her. He stood in front of them, waving around the piece of paper as if it kept the taiyoukai back.

"Grandpa…" She could only hope he wouldn't do anything rash.

"Demon, be gone!" He threw the piece of paper at him, watching and waiting for something to happen. But nothing did.

Kagome sighed, slapping her forehead with her hand. Why did he continue to ignore her?

"What are you doing with my dear Kagome?" he asked angrily.

"Hnn. That's a good question," Sesshomaru replied, not bothered at all by the situation he was in. In all honesty, he looked annoyed. This was probably not something he expected, but then he didn't know what to expect. Traveling down a well into a completely different time wasn't on his agenda for the day, not was it for the rest of his existence.

Getting sick and tired of this, Kagome stood in front of Sesshomaru with her hands on her hips. "Grandpa, this is Sesshomaru. He's Inuyasha's half brother."

His hands slowly fell to his side, a smile forming on his face. "Why didn't you tell me that sooner?" He looked him up and down, his mind filled with random thoughts. "Hmm, why didn't my spell work?" He kept mumbling to himself as he walked away.

"Sorry about that…" She ruffled her hair in spite of being nervous. "He can be a little out of it sometimes."

He nodded, showing he heard her.

"So, uh, welcome to my era?" Kagome said, trying to smile and lighten the mood.

"What do you mean, your era?" He lifted an eyebrow.

"Well, for some reason the well transported both of us back to my time. I thought only Inuyasha could go through it, though." She mused the last part to herself. "Uh, but, if you came in you can probably get back the same way, right?"

He tried not to shake his head. "That's how it would seem."

Indeed, he decided it would be best to try and go back to his era, whatever era that was. Without a second thought, he jumped into the well, and closed his eyes, expecting something to happen. To no avail, though. He opened his eyes as soon as his feet hit the dirt ground, but his surroundings stayed the same.

"I wonder why that didn't work." She rubbed her fingers on her chin, as if in deep thought. "Maybe we could try-"

"Enough of these games," he snapped. He pointed to the well. "Get me back. Now."

She snorted. "With that attitude, mister, you're not going anywhere."

He blinked once, twice, three times. "I'm not a child."

"You sure are acting like one!"

"I could say the same to you." He was really getting annoyed with her antics already. If for some reason this Well couldn't get him back, then there had to be a way to fix it. And by all means, he would make sure it would get fixed. He jumped out of the well and landed next to Kagome.

He started to wonder how is half-brother put up with her.

"How do we fix it?" he asked coldly.

"Well, you see," she started to mumble before he spoke up.

"Out with it," he growled. This girl really loved to push him the wrong way.

"This has happened to me before, ya' know. All we really can do is wait it out." He didn't say anything, he just stared at her. Kagome wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing. She didn't know too much about Sesshomaru, except for the few times she saw him when she was traveling with Inuyasha. He was never the talkative type, or the friendly type. But for some odd reason, he did save her after all, so she was really in debt to him.

"Since we're stuck here, I might as well stock up on food and supplies."

He thought for a moment before asking. "You are going to hunt?" There was a hint of confusion in his voice.

"H-hunt?" She put her hand over her stomach and started to let little giggles out, and soon enough she was full blown laughing. "We don't hunt, we're in the future. We go shopping at a store."

"A store-"

Before he could finish was he was going to say she grabbed his hand and led him outside. "I'll show you."


Maybe she should have rethought her plan before bringing Sesshomaru out and about on a Friday afternoon. Not only were there hundreds of people crowding the streets, but there were hundreds of people crowding the streets and staring at them. She really should have gave him something else to wear, and him wanting to attack every car that passed by wasn't so easy to hide.

She sighed. "You're almost as bad as Inuyasha when he first saw a car." She could remember it clearly to this day.

"My ignorant half-brother has been here before?" he questioned, a little surprised. A motorcycle zoomed by, making Sesshomaru turn around and growl, getting ready to attack.

"You got to relax. You're causing a scene!" Kagome chided. She rested her hand on his shoulder as they continued on.

"Hnn." The more he was in this world, the more he hated it.

They finally arrived at the grocery store, lifting a heavy burden off of Kagome's shoulders. Sesshomaru looked around, but didn't say a word. This was the most quiet she's seen him all day. Maybe her world was finally getting to him. She snickered at the thought.

"What do you find funny?" he asked.

She grinned. "Just you. Oh! Hey!" She dragged him with her to a different aisle. "Ramen? Canned fruit? Rice? Steak?" She asked as she pointed to all the different things.

"Canned fruit." He paused, thinking. He didn't want to sound dumb, that was not how the taiyoukai was, but this was all so alien to him.

She stared at him awkwardly. "You wanna try it?"

He nodded his head slowly, as if regretting his decision. He was acting childish.

They turned a corner and Kagome froze. She quickly pushed Sesshomaru back and started to look for somewhere to hide. Not them, oh no...

"Kagome! Hey!"

"Hey guys look, I see Kagome!"

"Over here!"

She mentally slapped herself as she stood in front of Sesshomaru. Great, just the people she wanted to see. Her friends would not let her live this down, seeing her with another guy other than Inuyasha.

"Yuka, Eri, Ayumi, hey guys..."

"We didn't know you were back, Kagome. Why didn't you tell us?" Yuka asked before she noticed the tall silver man behind her. "And who is this? He doesn't look like that other guy you bring around. Wait, no. Are you cheating on him?"

"No, Kagome would never do that," Ayumi said in spite of her other friend.

"I don't know about that guys," Eri piped up. The three girls continued to chat away.

Oh no, this couldn't get any worse. I need to come up with an excuse to get out of here, and fast. She racked her brain for a good few seconds, trying to come up with any excuse to get her out of this mess.

Sesshomaru tried not to say anything. This was amusing. Obviously they were talking about his worthless half-brother, but he couldn't smell it on her that his half-brother had mated with her. So what were these three talking about?

Her three friends turned towards her. "Is it true, Kagome? Are you cheating on this guy with him or not?"

"No, no, no. It's nothing like that..."

Sesshomaru could see this was getting nowhere. He could see the helpless look on the girl's face as she spit out thousands of excuses.

He protectively wrapped his arm around her waist. "She's mine." He noticed Kagome shift uncomfortably, but she didn't make an effort to move from him.

The girls said a few oh's and ah's before nodding their heads. "That's g-good for you Kagome!"

"Yeah, see you in school tomorrow?"

"Bye!" They hurried off. What a weird world this girl lived in.

Kagome let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. "Thanks, Sesshomaru."

"Hnn, no problem."

He glanced down at her and noticed her face was getting even redder. He didn't understand why...

"Uh, we should be heading back now." She grabbed her bag full of groceries and slowly got out of his embrace."Ready?"

Oh. A small, barely noticeable smile tugged at the corner of his lips. This girl was quite amusing.


That's all for now. Sorry for such a non eventful chapter. Things will start heating up next chapter, but I will tell you this now. I hate fast paced romance stories, so this one might be taking the slower route. anata wa sugoi desu
