Sesshomaru woke to a startling shout downstairs,
"Get off my property before I call the cops right now!" Kagome's mother shouted. Kagome was already up and was over by her closet trying to jerk on some clothes, but she was failing, she was still considerably weak from the night before and wasn't able to maintain her balance. Sesshomaru swiftly moved behind her and held her naked waist,
"Oh, your up, good, we have to leave, they found us," Kagome jerking on a shirt, she got down in the floor and crawled to the back of her closet and got something out of the safe. She put a vile that was on a necklace around her neck, Sesshomaru stared,
"It's the Shikon Jewel," Sesshomaru stared at it, it was so pure.
"Yeah, my grandfather told me that it could open the well, it would send us back to your time, but I don't know if it will work or not," Kagome staggered. Sesshomaru held her waist again,
"Can you do that orbing thing down to that shed there?" Kagome pointing to it out her window. Before she could turn around she had been swept up and flown to the closed shed,
"Thanks," Kagome dragging the shed door open, she almost collapsed again,
"Miko, the power you hold is not at full strength, it is this Sesshomaru's turn to save you, just tell him what to do," Sesshomaru strongly.
"Hey, there they are, lets get him, the girl too, she's got some power," the men shouted, Kagome stumbled down the stairs to the well,
"Pull the lid off, then I guess we just jump in at the same time and pray it works," Kagome explained, Sesshomaru threw the covering off the well, he grabbed Kagome up in his arm and jumped in. Bright ethereal blue and pink lights surrounded them as they floated down in the well, finally Sesshomaru landed softly on the solid ground, he looked up and found bright sky and the air a lot crisper and cleaner.
"Home," Sesshomaru breathed in deeply,
"Did we make it?" Kagome confused, Sesshomaru jumped straight out of the well and landed gracefully on the meadow green grass.
"This is Sesshomaru's era," Sesshomaru explained, Kagome looked around, she unconsciously gasped at the beauty of the untouched lands,
"This is really beautiful, clean air, breathe taking lands," Kagome clutching her head and without warning falling limp against Sesshomaru's chest. Sesshomaru glanced down at her in his arm,
~Her powers must be healing her and that is why she is still weak. I have to get her safe to this Sesshomaru's home before every yokai in the land come after that jewel.~ Sesshomaru seriously thought, he ran swiftly and gracefully to his home in the western lands. Once he arrived in front of his beloved sanctuary he found his half brother's stink everywhere.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" the guards at the gate being completely off guard.
"This Sesshomaru is here, do I dare ask who let that despicable halfbreed in this Sesshomaru's home?" Sesshomaru asked in a low deadly tone. The guards were too stunned to speak so they pointed up to Lord Sesshomaru's study, he looked up to see the head council in his study staring down at him.
"You will listen to this Sesshomaru, let me pass so I shall tend to my guest and deal with this matter personally," Sesshomaru speaking low still, they opened the gates, Sesshomaru strolled in stoically and proudly. The maids and other guards gasped as they watched him walk in some were even brave enough to whisper behind his back, but he could still hear the words being said;
"That's our old lord, oh kami, is that what I think it is, no, it cant be, it's the Shikon No Tama!" the maids whispered. He paused for a moment, he turned,
"You will place this miko in Sesshomaru's quarters, you will watch over her and find her something fitting to wear, she will be bathing in Sesshomaru's private hot spring if she wishes to do so," Sesshomaru talking with his most trusted servant who had served his father and him, she nodded once, she led the way to his old chamber and opened the door for him to enter in. It was kept the way he remembered it, fine paintings hung on the walls, his huge bed of the finest furs and materials was still in the same place, his swords were hung in the same spot above his bed. Slowly he walked over to his bed, the maid pulled the covers down and Sesshomaru laid her down and covered her up.
"You must be tired milord, shall I fetch some breakfast for you?" the servant asked,
"Not now, this Sesshomaru has business to be dealt with," Sesshomaru huffed as he turned and walked out, stealing the vile that was around Kagome's neck. Sesshomaru didn't trust anyone since they were under his halfbreed half brother's control, nor would he trust them around the jewel, every demon wanted it for its power, all except himself that is, he would hold onto it for the time being. Swiftly he made his way down the hall to his old study, he walked into his study unannounced, he found the halfbreed sitting behind his desk like he owned it.
"Sesshomaru," the head council turned to greet him,
"Brother," Inuyasha acknowledging him, Sesshomaru's chest rumbled with a warning growl.
"Now, now, Sesshomaru, we could not have a lord disappearing on us, we decided to make your brother lord, he has a mate and is willing to have an heir, our business is done here Sesshomaru, you may stay in the castle but you lost your title, unless…" the council hesitating,
"What are you proposing?" Sesshomaru asked harshly.
"The human you brought with you is the Shikon No Tama miko, you must make her your mate in order to gain your title back and you must have your pup within the first year," the leader explained. Sesshomaru growled,
"This Sesshomaru will not mate that pathetic human, he will not become his father," Sesshomaru leaving his study with the slam of the door echoing behind him. Sesshomaru went to check on Kagome which she was still asleep, he walked in and shut and locked the door. Slowly he walked over to the chair by the window and sat down, thinking. After an hours time Kagome groaned, Sesshomaru slowly raised his head,
"Lord Sesshomaru, what's wrong?" Kagome softly, Sesshomaru slowly walked over to her,
"This Sesshomaru has lost his title and with it his home," Sesshomaru sitting on the edge of his bed. Kagome blinked her eyes,
"There's more to it than that," Kagome sensing his turmoil, Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at her,
"The only way to gain this Sesshomaru's birthright is to take you as my mate, and you would have to bear my pup the first year," Sesshomaru explained, he still had his back turned toward her.
"There is no way that you would take a human miko as a mate," Kagome mumbled out loud,
"You know this Sesshomaru well, this is not your era, you do not belong here, you and this Sesshomaru will leave tonight, we shall stay in the local village, you will learn of your true power and you will leave, this no place for you," Sesshomaru walking out and slamming the door behind him only more softly than before.
