Author's Note: I don't want this story to take a turn into the twilight dynamic. I don't particularly like sugary love stories. I need drama and comical misunderstandings! And plot twists and ex girlfriends that won't go away. Also can you believe that it's been nearly 18 years since the beginning of Inuyasha! Where has the time gone!
Rin stirred in her sleep. The rays of unforgiving sunlight coaxed her awake. She was just conscious enough to hear Reina's words.
"Time to go home" She said cheerfully looking at the sunrise. Sesshomaru looked very stern, even more than usual. Rin shot up.
"What!" Rin said. She ran over to Reina and hugged her refusing to go anywhere.
"You've been asleep for two days, and before that you were missing for three. Now you are leaving" Rin said accusingly.
"I have to go, my manager thinks I'm dead" Reina said soothingly lightly patting Rin's head
"How long will you be gone?" Rin said. Rin let go of Reina and crossed her arms. She was pouting. Sesshomaru felt a certain tension waiting for her answer. She was coming back. What if she didn't want to come back? Reina had been crying last night, wanting to go home. Humans were notoriously unpredictable.
"A few days" Reina said. Sesshomaru felt himself sigh with relief. On the exterior he seemed unfazed by her answer.
"Two days!" Rin said, as though it was a bargain.
"Three at least" Reina replied indulging her.
"Fine, deal" Rin stuck her hand out. Reina shook on it.
_Meanwhile_
Kagome and Inuyasha were back in the village. Kaede was tending to a particularly menacing scratch on Inuyasha's back. He was moping
"I told you to be careful" Kagome said. The rest of the gang was quietly resting outside. They were pooped from searching for Reina for the last two days. She was now where to be found. Not even a whiff of her sent came their way. Then suddenly Inuyasha shot up from the table he was laying on. Kaede's herbal treatment went flying out of her hands
"Inuyasha, what's wrong with ye" Kaede said.
"I smell her, Reina, she's close" Inuyasha ran out of the hut, with half secure bandages hanging from his back. He followed his nose to the well. He saw Sesshomaru and Reina by the well, in a half finished conversation.
"Come back here in three days, I will be here in the morning" Reina smiling. Sesshomaru looked mostly emotionless with a hint of arrogance.
"Good bye, I will see you soon" Reina said. She stopped talking, waiting for a response. Sesshomaru had none to give. He began to turn signaling his leave.
"Wait" Reina said a little forcefully. She tugged at his shoulder and turned him back around to face her.
Reina pulled at his sleeve. He complied willingly leaning closer. Reina hesitantly place a kiss on his cheek. Sesshomaru felt his frustration well up on the surface. She was leaving for three days, and all he got was a kiss on the cheek. He brazenly held her close to him and forcefully kissed her mouth. At first her body tensed up in surprise. Then she relaxed into his embrace. Slowly she pulled away to catch her breath.
"Okay, I should go now" Reina said. Sesshomaru turned without a word lest he take up anymore of her time. He wanted to desperately to but he maintained control of himself. Reina watched his retreating form. He became a ball of light in the distant and vanished into the horizon.
"I can't believe that hypocritical blood hound" Inuyasha jeered. Reina turned her head. She was still dazed from the kiss and only just realized he was there. Kagome appeared behind him
"You're back!" She excitedly said. Finally the police would leave her family alone.
"Yes, let's go Kagome" Reina said cheerfully. "Sorry about this big mess"
Kagome nodded and jumped in the well first. She didn't kiss a certain dog boy who seemed to be expecting something after witnessing such affection from the week old couple. Reina hesitantly jumped in as well.
When the both got out of the well on the other side of time, they say swarms of police people outside through the window.
"I'm really sorry about the po-po" Reina said dusting herself off. She walked outside.
"Hey guys, I'm here" She said. The police and media swarmed around her. Kaito, her manager appeared out of nowhere.
"We thought you were dead, what did this family do to you?" Kaito said sternly. Reina was wearing an odd green leafed Kimono.
"I've been …. Having some talks with TVB…. It's about a part in a tv show… you know about feudal Japan" Reina lied. She hoped that was good enough. Kaito nodded slowly.
"I'm your manager. You have to tell me about these things." Kaito said. He picked his phone up.
"You can let them go, she's been fine all along" Kaito said into the receiver. Reina looked livid all of the sudden
"Did you hold Kagome's family hostage" Reina yelled. "This family has been nothing but nice to me"
"I'm sorry but you left your phone, and everything here. It looked like they had killed you. They were just in the holding cell of the local station" Kaito said turning the blame onto her.
Reina sighed but her fury did not subside. She glared at Kaito. They would talk about this later.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry. If there is anything that you want…" Reina said trailing off.
"Come with me on vacation" Kagome said quickly. Reina knew what she meant. She should go back with Kagome to the feudal era for the remaining days of spring break. Reina had a few months of before the start of her next tour.
"Definitely… I have a few things to do and I will be back here soon" Reina confirmed. Kagome nodded.
Kagome waited for her patiently. School was about to end, she had a few days to go to school and catch up on home work. It was always piling up to the ceiling. Every day packages came to her house. One was an expense new television that barely fit in the living room. Kagome could tell that Reina was very sorry about what happened to her family.
_Meanwhile_
Sesshomaru constantly found himself looking for Reina then realizing that she wasn't there. He had become use to her presence, now he felt sullen though he would never admit it. Rin seemed to pick up on it and occasionally tried to cheer him up.
"Reina will like these flowers I picked for her" Rin said to no one in general.
"She'll be gone for another two days, those flowers are going to wilt" Jaken said all-knowingly. Rin sighed. Why did Reina have to go at all.
"Maybe she got mad at you Jaken, that's why she wanted to go so long" Rin said meanly. Jaken scoffed.
"I hope so, I hope that I was so mean to her that she won't ever come back" Jaken said sorely. Sesshomaru stopped and Jaken bumped into him. Sesshomaru looked back at him with a deadly glare.
"What I meant was, she's only a human, she might not keep her promise to return" Jaken said trying to save himself. Sesshomaru promptly stepped on his face. That was clearly not the right thing to say either.
The days passed on begrudgingly. I soon became the morning that she promised to return. Sesshomaru went a few hours early for not particular reason. He waited by the well cursing himself for being so dog like as if he was were waiting for his master to return. This was so unbecoming but he didn't move from the well to save his dignity.
It was then he heard rustling in the bushes. He sent out his poisonous whip into the area to fish out whatever was there. It was Kagura. She gracefully landed a distance away.
"I'm surprised you didn't notice me sooner" Kagura said seductively "I must be losing my touch"
She walked up to him touching his pelt. She was bold. Before he could push her away, the most untimely thing happened. Reina's head appeared from the well. Her body soon followed. Then Kagome also climbed out. She saw a strange girl and Sesshomaru all over each other. Reina was furious.
"Who is this?" She said with daggers in her voice. Kagura laughed and then she realized why this girl looked so familiar. Her face was in every historical text that she ever laid eyes on.
"You're the blood miko" Kagura said accusingly. "My name is…"
Before Kagura could finish speaking Reina scoffed loudly.
"I don't care who you are, you whore" Reina said rudely. Kagome was taken aback by Reina's words. She had not seen Reina this angry before. She was behaving almost like Hanako.
"Oh are you jealous" Kagura said, egging on Reina's fury. Sesshomaru rather liked Reina's apparent jealously. He didn't know why though.
Reina stepped in between Sesshomaru and Kagura. Then she pushed Kagura away forcefully.
"You better watch it" Reina said.
Kagura reached for her fan. She was on the attack but before she could do anything Reina went on the offensive. Reina held her palm out and a white hot blast of light fired at Kagura. Reina remembered that she had done that the first time she arrived here. Her miko powers were still intact and she used them accordingly.
Kagura felt her flesh singe. She winced and escaped on her fan. She would live to fight another day. She would kill this girl that had humiliated her so. Reina watched the fan disappear into the clouds. She turned to Sesshomaru accusingly. Kagome watched silently
"She pushed herself on me" Sesshomaru said simply.
"So you were here waiting for me, and she magically appeared and came on to you" Reina said accusingly. Sesshomaru didn't reply. She had precisely described what had happened. Reina searched his eyes. She knew he didn't do anything wrong, he didn't betray her. Her expression relaxed.
"Ex's huh" She finally said "I guess it's only normal"
Sesshomaru felt some panic rise from his chest. He didn't like the sounds of X's. What if she had a lot of "X's". Reina snuggled into him.
"Ready to go?" Reina said. Sesshomaru began to form into a ball of light.
"See you soon, Kagome" Reina said as an afterthought. She was whirling through the air. In a few moments she found herself reunited with Rin and Jaken. Rin ran up and hugged her.
"I missed you so much" Rin said "Lord Sesshomaru did too"
Sesshomaru didn't nod in agreement. He wouldn't admit anything.
"I missed you guys too" Reina said finally " It took a while to set things straight with my manager, but I'm staying for the next few months" Reina was cheerful, and was hoping that Rin would be ecstatic at the news.
"Only a few months" Rin said disappointed. She was hoping that Reina would be a permanent fixture in their group.
"I have to go back on tour" Reina explained "I have to go singing around the world"
"But… I'll miss you" Rin argued. Singing didn't sound so important especially if she could be here.
"We have a few months together, we'll have so much fun together" Reina coaxed. Rin didn't seem happy she folded her arms and remained silent for the rest of the day. It was exhausting.
That night they were snuggled around a camp fire. Sesshomaru was gone, he had walked off on his own. Rin finally spoke
"I don't want you to leave… ever" Rin said quietly while the flames lit her face.
"I know… maybe… you can come with me" Reina said.
"No, I can't…. I know about the well…. Only special people can go through" Rin
"You are special" Reina replied.
"No I'm not… I'm just a girl, but you are the reincarnation of powerful being" Rin said yawning.
"I don't want you to go" Rin said finally then sleep over took her.
Reina found that she couldn't sleep after all and went for a walk. She found herself on the edge of a cliff. She was very afraid of heights and stayed far from the edge. The moon was bright and nearly full overhead. She sighed then realized that she wasn't alone.
"I think Rin is very mad at me" Reina said into the darkness. Sesshomaru appeared into the clearing. He walked close to the edge then Reina dared.
"Everyone is free to do as they wish" Sesshomaru said in reply. Reina sighed, that was no help at all.
"What do you want me to do?" Reina inquired. Wasn't it obvious?
"Do you have a lot of X's" Sesshomaru suddenly inquired. That was very off topic and it caught Reina by surprises
"I have some Ex's" Reina replied truthfully. "Don't tell me you are jealous"
Sesshomaru scoffed. Reina smiled at him and gently caressed his face with her palm.
"I have never cared about anyone like I do about you" Reina said softly. Sesshomaru felt his desire rise. He couldn't find the words to express what he wanted to say. He was too proud to say them anyway. He simply leaned into kiss her. What Reina did next was quiet surprising.
Sesshomaru found himself being straddled by her. She was furiously trying to undress him while simultaneously trying to take her own clothing off. Sesshomaru grabbed her hands in an attempt to slow her down. She looked at him desperately. Her ebony locks flowing down her face. She was blushing intensely. She wriggled her hand free of his and continued to tear at his clothing.
It was then that the worst timing happened again, in the same day. Sesshomaru saw a fan coming from the distance. Right now was the worst possible time. Reina followed his gaze and looked skyward
"That whore" Reina said as she got up. Her palms felt hot. She was ready to cook that witch.
