Blast from the Past by Kjchristie17

Chapter 2

Kagome stared at his face. It was undeniable. He really was Seshoumaru. But how? Inuyasha had just run into Seshoumaru last week, and the last she remembered, Seshoumaru was definitely not this short. His golden eyes were cold, his face blank and expressionless. However, this child was nothing like Seshoumaru. His golden eyes were flitting around, curiosity present in them, and his face was very expressive. Right now, he seemed a little bit apprehensive.

Clearing her throat, Kagome knelt down, "Let's see your leg first. It hurts doesn't it?"

He stumbled back, "You're a human."

Kagome smiled reassuringly, "I'm not going to hurt you, Seshoumaru. Now relax. I just want to see if you're badly hurt."

Still suspicious, he allowed her to look at his leg.

Kagome squinted but even in the moonlight, she couldn't see his injury. She frowned, "We'll have to go to the campsite...I need a flashlight."

"A what?"

"I can't see your wound, because it's dark."

Seshoumaru stared at the ground in growing discomfort, "But I cannot walk. My leg is in pain."

Kagome smiled at him, "So? I'll just carry you." She held out her arms, "Come on."

Seshoumaru hesitated, but the pain was too much, and he let her carry him.

The walk back was slow, as Kagome did not want to to stumble or anything so she took small careful steps. Seshoumaru's face was buried in her neck and Kagome stiffened when she felt him sniffing her.

"Are you sniffing me?"

His voice was muffled, "You don't smell like a human."

Wanting to make him feel more at ease, she laughed softly, "Oh yeah? And what do humans smell like?"

"Dirty. Their stench is offending, as they refrain from the use of water to bathe. However, your smell is clean, refreshing. Why?"

Careful not to jostle him, she climbed down the hill, making her way towards the edge of Edo, "That's probably because I love taking baths. I like being clean."

"You do?" His voice was filled with confusion and he wondered at this strange human.

It took them a while to reach camp, and when they did, Kagome put him down and fed the glowing embers. Then she turned around to rummage in her bag for her flashlight and bandages.

He's a full demon, so he'll probably heal more quickly.

With that thought in mind, she shone her flashlight on him, making him wince. He wanted to ask what that was, but by now his eyes were drooping, and his mind was fogged with pain.

"I-It hurts."

Teeth gritted in concentration, she cleaned the deep cut on his leg, and bound it up. When she looked up at him, he was already asleep, a few tears drying on his porcelein skin cheeks.

He looks and acts nothing like Seshoumaru. She ran her fingers through his hair. He's just a scared little boy right now. I wonder if the well has anything to do with this chibi Seshoumaru's appearance or something.

By now, even she was drooping. So, she gathered the sleeping child in her arms and settled both if them in her sleeping bag. Spooning him, she slowly fell asleep as well, erecting a small barrier around them to keep away animals or youkai, who might be drawn by the scent of Seshoumaru's blood.

It didn't occur to her to her what Inuyasha would think when he stumbled upon them after spending a night with Kikyo.

It was Inuyasha's screech which woke her up, when he found he couldn't approach Kagome, and that there was child sleeping in her arms.

A.N: I'm sorry these are short, but I've been away from the fanfiction world for about four months now and have completely lost my touch. When I get back in my zone the chapters will be longer, I promise. The next update will be on Monday or hopefully Sunday, if I'm up to it. And one of my readfers asked me for a clue...Well here it is ...'Remembering' 3

Is this obvious enough...I mean look at the first part of user name, and try to remember the last part.
