Chapter 2- A Trip to the Past
Sesshomaru awoke and again those same eyes were starring back into his. Once again the surroundings were different.
"Where am I?"
"You're in my sitting room", she responded, "You passed out about two hours ago. So I brought you to my estate. You need to rest." Sesshomaru closed his eyes and drifted away.
The next morning he awoke but this time there were no golden eyes. He stood and took in his new surroundings. The room was small but nice. It was quite barren besides the futon where he laid, there was also a small desk with fresh flowers and chair in the left corner of the room. The desk also had some strange artifact on it, which looked like stick with a lizard type skull. He picked it up but quickly put the artifact down after hearing fighting. He followed the sound and saw Yoruichi fighting seven masked men in the same uniform he saw her in yesterday. Before he could even speak the fight was over, the men were all on the ground unconscious.
"Sesshomaru, glad to see you are up and walking around. Are you hungry, would you like some breakfast?" she asked
"No," he replied.
"Well I am, follow me." They entered a large room to find a large selection of food everything from fruit to tsukudani; along with Yoruichi's ladies-in-waiting, and two masked men standing beside a chair designated for Yoruichi. "No one will eat with me, they just sit there watching, please don't tell me you're going to do the same." she said as she offered Sesshomaru a plate. Yoruichi loaded several plates with food. Sesshomaru could not believe his eyes as she seemed to swallow entire plates of food. Then she followed her food with a quart of milk.
"Ahhh, now that was good, lets go for a walk" she stated, "its always good to walk after a good meal." As she rose the two men rose as well. The two men slowly allowed the distance to grow between them and Yoruichi and Sesshomaru granting a little privacy, but Sesshomaru could tell he was being watched by the two men. It wasn't just those two men, he felt eyes all around him watching his every move.
" So tell me how does a demon end up in the Soul Society?" Sesshomaru looks a little shocked. "Last night you called out and when I went to check on you, your eyes were red and so was your aura. Plus the claws and pointy ears are dead giveaway." She smiles and winks at him, "Your secret is safe, but I need to know why you are here."
"Like I said yesterday, I do not know how I got here. I was training in the forest when I heard the ocean calling out to me. The next thing I knew there was a small hole in front of me and I then I woke up here", he stated.
"Ok we need to research your "hole", too bad my friend Kisuke isn't here, he loves this kind of stuff. First we need to do something about those ears, blue crescent moon on your forehead, and that fuzzy thing you insist on carrying around". Sesshomaru frowned at her. "Come on lets go", she says as she grabs him by the arm and starts running back to the manor, the two guards followed, but could barely keep up. She led Sesshomaru into her bedroom. Her bedroom was quite spacious and beautifully decorated. There were fresh cut pink roses on her dresser. In the middle of the room was a huge canopy bed. This was Sesshomaru first time seeing a bed. He was somewhat curious about it.
"Here put this on," she says as she hands him a headband to help disguise his noticeable features. Next the two departed for the library. They spent hours searching for any information on the phenomenon. Every so often Yoruichi would get Sesshomaru to open little and talk about something, but he would quickly close back up before he opened up too much. Unfortunately they did not find anything. "Let's go we can comeback tomorrow. Kisuke's team should be back from their field training tomorrow, he'll be able to help," she said.
