Good evening readers! Just got done with a workout, trying to get back into shape and it's good to sit down and rest my muscles. So while I am sitting here, it's time for another chapter! So please enjoy, and if you get a moment please review it. Let me know what you think. *I don't own Inuyasha or the characters from the Anime/manga.*
Anya became more nervous. Why were they just staring at her instead of talking like normal people? She decided to explain herself, thinking that they were not
expecting her.
"I…well, you see I fell down into the well." She motioned to her dripping wet form and then behind her to the well. All eyes followed the motions.
"And I hit my head on a bone that was protruding out, although it wasn't there when I climbed out, but seeing as though nothing here looks like home that
doesn't seem so strange now. But…um, is this….am I dead, Or maybe in a coma?" She gave a hopeful look towards the end. She'd rather not be dead. She was
starting to ramble she knew but she was nervous, they were all still just staring at her. Finally the school girl stepped forward with a gentle smile.
"I don't think that you are dead, or in a coma. This may be hard to understand, but you are in a version of the past. You probably fell through a portal when you
fell down the well. The same thing happened to me when I first came here; my name in Kagome."
Anya blinked. That hadn't been what she had been expecting to here. It was one thing to be dead, but to be thrust into the past… how could falling down a
creepy well lead to a portal to the past, and hadn't the girl said something about demons?
"You said you killed a demon. Demons don't live on earth. If they exist at all they are in…hell." Kagome glanced at her group looking at the boy in red, and then
gave a nervous glance at the man. He barely noticed his eyes still examining Anya like an insect stuck under a microscope.
"Yes, it is a bit strange, but demons are real here. This is Inuyasha, he is a half demon. Shippo there is a full fox demon. And Kiara is a cat demon." She
motioned to the little kid that was hanging off the other woman and to a small cat. Oh, thought Anya, it wasn't a god. How on earth did I get that mixed up…
"And this is um, Lord Sesshomaru, he is a full demon as well." She said it softly like she didn't want to draw his attention. Anya glanced between the two men,
noting the similarities and differences. Demons…it was strange, but somehow it was making since.
"So, is that why he has dog ears on his head?" She pointed to the boy in red who scowled, his ears twitching.
"They are kind of cute." She said trying to not offend him. His scowl lessened slightly. She turned her eyes to Sesshomaru and blushed. He was still very
focused on her and she wasn't sure how to feel about that. Taking a moment to really look at him Anya noticed that his eyes weren't red, but a beautiful amber color.
Something else she had gotten wrong. She was starting to think she needed to get her eye checked. She felt that if she looked into those eyes for too long she could
become forever lost. It was then that Anya realized that Kagome had said something.
"I'm sorry! I didn't hear you." She replied blushing deeply, she was being very rude. Kagome smiled letting her know that it was fine.
"I said that yes, he has dog ears because he is part dog demon. And then I asked your name."
"Anya." She supplied bowing her head slightly, Kagome returned the small gesture.
"Oh there you are my lord! Oh so it was this rabble that caught your attention, and look they have yet another human following them, why is it so…wet?"
Squeaked what looked like a little goblin or imp. It was one of the strangest creatures she had ever seen, and the cat with three tails and little fox boy were fairly
strange.
"Is…that a demon also?" Anya asked leaning down to look at him.
"Of course I am! I am Lord Sesshomaru's faithful servant. You human shouldn't even be in his presence!" Inuyasha barked a laugh rolling his eyes.
"You are lucking that Lord Sesshomaru has let you live this long Inuyasha!" The small demon yelled.
"Why you" Inuyasha went to hit the little imp who ran behind Sesshomaru to hide. It wasn't wise to pick battles that you couldn't fight yourself Anya thought
shaking her head at the little creature.
"Enough. Jaken, leave" his voice was calm, assertive but almost bored and it made a shiver go down her spine. The little goblin immediately ran off, and without
another word Sesshomaru turned and headed back into the trees. The group watched them vanish.
"Has he ever left without you two fighting first before?" Asked the other woman sounding surprised.
"Not usually" responded Inuyasha considering.
"Well I for one am glad, and might I say madam that you are beautiful" Said the monk grabbing Anya's hands but looking at her wet shirt. Anya blushed pulling
away. Kagome hit the monk over the head knocking him to the ground.
"Pervert" Kagome and the other woman both said shaking their heads. Inuyasha rolled his eyes at the monk and the little kid/demon shook his head also.
"I'm Sango, and the pervert is Miroku" the woman introduced herself.
"Nice to meet you. So..if I am in the past. How do I get back to the present?" Anya looked around at them.
"I usually just go back through the well. You could give that a try" said Kagome helpfully. Anya shrugged, she didn't know how else to do it. So she turned and
walked back to the well climbing back in. They watched, waiting to see what would happen. Anya descended the little makeshift latter and stepped back into the chilly
water and closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath she went under.
Sesshomaru sat by the river bank looking into the water. What was it about that human female that made the itching feeling vanish? As soon as she had spoken
he had felt something click in his mind and looking at her had made his heart beat just a little bit faster. He liked the way her clothing had clung to her body, showing
him the shape of her. Her skin was slightly tanned and smooth and her dark hair hung low around her waist. He had wanted to peel the wet clothing from her body
and warm his with his own. He was lucky that Jaken had caught up to him, to debase himself for a human? He had no intention of becoming like his father, weakened
by a human and killed off so easily.
And that's chapter 4. I have gotten two reviews and i would like to take this opportunity to that the both of you that did so. It really makes my day to see that you took the time to write to me. So that you a bunch!
