So, my laptop is finally working! Gave me a scare, I just bought this laptop a week ago. I hope it doesn't break, this is my 4th computer in a year and a half. Ha.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy chapter two.
I do not own any of these characters. Just the story line.
Where am I? Sesshoumaru let out a quiet cough as he looked around the strange room.
Why does it smell like that half-brother of mine's woman? No one was around. It was near day break when he awoken from a strange dream. But he could not remember any of it once he had awakened.
Why can't I move my body? My body feels numb.
What's this strange world I'm in? Smell's different than…
He lifted his head up slightly and saw his wounds were already attended to. Blood was seeping through the bandages already, but it did stop most of his bleeding.
How come I can't feel Rin's presence anywhere?
He laid his head back down on the pillow.
Where is Rin?
He could feel the power of unconsciousness creeping through him. For now, he'll let the darkness take him in. But soon he will find out where he is and where his Rin is.
Looks like he's still asleep.
It was noon when I went to go check on Sesshoumaru.
Looks like he moved a little in his sleep, but not much.
"How is he?" I heard InuYasha ask in the door entrance.
"It's hard to say. He looks fine, but I'm not really sure how much pain he's in. Or even if he will recover."
"Huh."
"You know, he did save your life. Least you could do is be concerned about him."
"I didn't ask him to save me, Kagome."
"But he did. If it weren't for him, you would be in this situation, instead of him. And I also might be dead." Sesshoumaru might be his hateful half-brother, and all he's ever done was give InuYasha a hard time, but he showed his true colors when he saved InuYasha. He did actually care about his brother, or he wouldn't have done that. I just wish InuYasha could see that.
"Well, looks like he won't wake up for a little while. I need to talk to Totousai about something. I'll be back in a while, Kagome."
"I think I'll come with you. I promised Rin I would see her everyday and tell her how Sesshoumaru is doing." He won't be up for a while with this wound. So it's safe to leave him for a few hours. I hope.
InuYasha left the group to go talk to Totousai about something he wouldn't bring up to me. He seemed really eager to talk to him, but I brushed it off my shoulder once Rin ran up to me with a big smile.
"How is he?!" She asked, once she hung onto my legs.
I bent down to talk to her face to face. "It's hard to say right now. He doesn't seem to be in any pain though, so that's a plus."
"Will you take Rin to Sesshoumaru? Please?"
I know I shouldn't. Taking Sesshoumaru there wasn't a good idea, they don't belong in my time. But how was I supposed to say that to Rin? What if he did die? It would be my fault that she couldn't be there by his side at his death.
She's only a human child. She couldn't do any harm in my time, unlike Sesshoumaru. Maybe he will listen to me with Rin there. Maybe he won't try to conquer my time with Rin by his side. He seems to listen to Rin, so hopefully it won't be such a bad thing to do.
"I suppose I could take you, Rin. I'm sure he would be happy to wake up with you next to him."
"Oh, thank you, Kagome!!!" Rin tackled and hugged me with too much force, making me fall backwards. I couldn't help but laugh. I now know why Sesshoumaru had kept her by his side this whole time.
"Sango, could you tell InuYasha that I've already left to go home?" I said with giggles still escaping.
"I will," Sango said with a nod, "Just please, be careful."
"Don't worry Sango, I will."
The Bone Eater's Well had let Rin pass by easily as well.
"Is this your village, Kagome?" Rin asked once we exited the shrine. "It's huge!"
I laughed, "Yes, this is where I live. We call it Tokyo, Japan."
"This is a huge hut!" She exclaimed once we entered my house. "You must be rich here!"
"Well, actually this is an average house. There are houses much bigger than this one." Rin looked up at me with so much excitement in them. It was hard not to smile at her.
I lead her up the stairs and into my bedroom where Sesshoumaru.. was suppose to be sleeping.
"Where did he go?!" My stomach fell hard, down, past my lower intestines and past my feet. If that's even possible.
"Where's this god forsaken place I'm in?" I heard a deep voice behind me.
"SESSHOUMARU!!!" Rin yelled as she ran up to him and hugged his leg.
I turned around to see a half naked demon lord right in front of me. I've never been this close to him, and I've got to say, he's much taller than I had thought. I only come up the middle of his chest. He's also... kind of handsome close up.
"Well, human, are you going to answer me?"
"Oh! Um. You're uh.." I didn't want to say he's 500 years into the future. "Um. 500 years.. Into the future? See, The Bone Eater's Well lets me travel through time and.." I could tell he didn't believe my story.
"If what you're saying is the truth, how do I get back?"
"You can't go back yet, Sesshoumaru. You're still hurt." Rin interfered, looking up at her lord.
"Rin, I can take care of myself. I don't need a mere mortal to take care of my body." He was talking to Rin, but kept his eyes on mine.
"Please, Lord Sesshoumaru. I don't want you to get hurt anymore. You're still bleeding." Rin begged. "Just stay for a few days? For Rin?"
Sesshoumaru finally broke our gaze and looked down at Rin. Her eyes where big and droopy. She knew how to work those puppy eyes.
It was silent for a few minutes. It was hard to read what he was thinking with the bored expression that was always on his face.
"I suppose it won't hurt," he finally said.
This world, her world, is much different than mine. Perhaps I could learn a few things here.
"Why don't you take a seat and I'll change your bandages. It's already soaked with your blood."
"Like I said, I don't need a human to attend to my body. I might be staying here, but I don't need your attendance."
