Blast from the Past by Kjchristie17
Chapter 3
It was still dark when Inuyasha stood up, "I have to go now, Kikyo. But 'll see you again, all right."
Kikyo's face seemed as if it was carved of stone as she nodded. Uncomfortable under her scrutinizing gaze, Inuyasha muttered, "What is it?"
Kikyo looked towards the direction of the village she had been born and raised in. And the one she had been murdered in. "Something is wrong with the Bone-Eater's Well."
Inuyasha looked startled, "The well? What's wrong with it?"
Kikyo gave him a dry look, "Even I don't know everything, Inuyasha."
He blushed and muttered, "Keh." Then after a short pause, "I'll go check it out. The wench had better not gotten into any trouble!"
Kikyo studied his face intently, and found herself satisfied by what she found there.
"My reincarnation is not alone."
Inuyasha swore at that, and rushed off towards Kagome's camp, tossing a harried goodbye in Kikyo's direction. As he jumped from branch to branch in order to get to the miko from the future, he found himself imagining all kinds of people Kagome could have run into. He cursed himself, furiously. He shouldn't have left her alone. What if a pack of ruffians had seen her? He increased his pace.
Kagome, I'm coming!
In a matter of minutes, he burst into the little clearing and his eyes widened in relief at the still glowing embers of the fire, and the huddled figure of Kagome in her sleeping bag. It was still shy of dawn, so he tossed a few sticks into the fire, and prepared to catch some shut eye himself, when he noticed something. The air around Kagome was shimmering. It was a barrier. He narrowed his eyes. It was definitely a barrier but a strange one, albeit.
It was not her normal pink barrier made from her miko energy. He frowned, and started near her to wake her up and ask her what the hell was going on. It was then that he noticed the small silver haired shild she was wrapped around. He froze.
A c-child!
"Kagome!"
Kagome stirred but nothing else. The boy however, opened his eyes and stared at Inuyasha with a pair of golden eyes. His gaze reminded him eerily of Seshoumaru.
"Oye, kid! Who the hell are you! And what the fuck are you doing near Kagome! Get away from her!"
The boy blinked languidly, and then mumbled something to himself. He looked around, his gaze capturing everything and studied his surroundings.
Inuyasha charged towards this demon and found himself thrown back violently by the barrier.
"Kagpome! Oye woman! Wake the fuck up!"
Kagome growled and opened her eyes blearily. When she saw it was still dark, she groaned. It was still dark. What the hell was Inuyasha's problem. There was absolutely no way she was going shard-hunting at this hour!
"Kagome!"
She gritted her teeth, and yelled out, "Sit, Inuyasha! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!"
By the time, Inuyasha had managed to pull herself out of the the ground, Kagome was sitting by the fire, heating water, probably for the coffee thing she drank.
Not wanting to piss her off, Inuyasha growled, "Who is that kid?"
Kagome looked at him carefully, before answering, hesitantly, "I think he's Seshoumaru, or at least he thinks he's Seshoumaru."
"Seshoumaru! That bastard is up to his tricks again! As if messing with my mother wasn't bad enough, now he's trying to mess with himself!"
Kagome hushed him, "Inuyasha stop babbling!" She cast a look at the boy, who was sitting docilely next to her, "How is your leg? Is it any better?"
He nodded.
"So, um, would you like to tell us how you got here, and who you really are?"
The boy blinked his golden eyes, "My name is Prince Seshoumaru Taisho. My father is the daiyoukai of the Western Lands. My mother is the lady of the Western Lands. I was on my annual hunt. My first hunt. And I fell down the well, " he pointed in the direction of the Bone-Eater's well.
Inuyasha blinked, "So the brat really is Seshoumaru."
Kagome elbowed him, "Stop calling him a brat, Inuyasha. And I think we're dealing with the past version of Seshoumaru." To the child she said, "So how old are you?"
The boy looked at her. "In human terms, I am fifty years old, but in the inu terms, I am seven."
Kagome giggled, "You're older than I am."
Inuyasha growled as she patted the child's head, who looked astonished at the open affection the woman was showering on him.
Inuyasha got up, and drew his sword from its sheath, "Allright, Kagome. There's only one way to handle this situation."
He grinned viciously, "Let's kill the brat here and now. Problem solved." With that he raised his sword, and struck.
A.N: I know. I know. Why is Kagome acting so accepting. Why isn't she more scared? Why is Seshoumaru acting so calm, and not haughty or rude? Well, to all those questions, heres your answer…No friggin idea…
Oh, and on a side note: I wrote these author notes while posting on Dokuga. I know some of them may sound confusing to you guys, but just bear with me. When I have finished posting all the chapters I have written on Dokuga, I'll tell you, okay? We'll consider it a fresh start. But for now, since my exams are here, I'm just posting the chapterswithout editing my author notes.
Thanks you for reading, and keep on reviewing, okay?
