**Last Chapter**
Standing at the well's edge, Kagome placed an arm around Sesshomaru's waist and he did the same. Taking Inuyasha's hand in her free one, they counted to three before jumping into the well. The usual, bright, blue light surrounded them before giving into darkness and a shrine roof at the well's opening.

They had made it to Kagome's time.

**On with the story"¦**

Chapter 7
You guys fight like you're married"¦

Inuyasha quickly exited the well, grunting as he landed on the stairs. Sesshomaru wrapped an arm around Kagome's waist and quickly followed. Sliding the shrine door open, they stepped into the morning sunlight. Sesshomaru was quickly overwhelmed by strange sounds, smells, and auras. This world pulsed with a life entirely different to the one he knew. His ears rang with the disturbing racket that seemed to pool into the air all around him. It took all of his will power not to cover up his sensitive nose; this new world reeked of poison and humans. A quick glance at Kagome confirmed her own discomfort. The demoness had buried her face in his robes, obviously trying to drown out the scents that assaulted her.

"I guess my senses were not complete on my last trip. I could hear almost everything, but I apparently missed out on smell." Kagome shook her head, trying to clear the fumes that crashed upon her like a tidal wave. A deep chuckle rose from Inuyasha, catching the two demons off guard.

"Now you finally understand why I hated villages! You no longer have any room to bitch about my preference to remain in the country! So there!" His smirk was short lived when Kagome cleared her throat. A nervous shudder passed through him as the miko-demoness gave an evil grin.

"Inuyasha"¦" Her deepened voice held a dangerously sweet tone. "SIT BOY!" The half-demon fell to the ground with a sickening crash; leaving only a crater where he stood. It was painfully apparent that due to Kagome's transformation, her link to Inuyasha's prayer beads had increased as well. She giggled lightly as a string of curses emerged from the crater. Sesshomaru glanced into the hole as they walked past; smirking at Inuyasha's attempts to pry himself from the ground. The demon braced himself as the door to the house suddenly flew open, a young boy running towards his Kagome. "˜His Kagome? Interesting"¦fit rather well if he said so himself.'

"Souta!" Kagome smiled in joy, yet the smile waned slightly as the boy suddenly came to a stop. The fact of her new appearance had slipped her mind. She drew in a deep breath and braced for the worst. Strangely enough, the fact that Sesshomaru's arm remained around her waist comforted her.

"K-Kagome? Is it really you? What happened?!" Souta stepped closer to the demons in front of him; raising a shaking hand out as if to reach for her. He knew Inuyasha was around here somewhere, he had heard the words and a sudden crash. The hand was snatch back, as if it had been burned, as the boy took notice of the strange man that stood next to his sister. "˜Why does this guy look life Inuyasha?' Kagome could sense his confusion and quickly made introductions in hopes of reduces some of the tension.

"Souta, this is Lord Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands in Inuyasha's time." The cold Taiyoukai nodded curtly before turning his gaze on Kagome, raising an elegant eyebrow in inquiry. She stepped forward, grabbed Souta by the hand and dragged him towards her. "My Lord," Kagome held her grip on the shaking boy, patting his back in reassurance. Sesshomaru blinked at the words "˜My Lord'. "This is my brother, Souta." Souta chuckled nervously, waving a hand slightly. A smirk tagged at the corner of Sesshomaru's lips, disappearing as quickly as it came. The boy jumped as Sesshomaru spoke, carefully keeping the chuckle in his throat in check.

"This Sesshomaru is pleased to meet you"¦" Why not have a little fun with him? ""¦human." The last part had been a low growl. Souta paled several shades before leaping away from Kagome's grasp and into the house. The Inuyoukai chuckled deeply, ignoring the angered punches and growling from Kagome.

"Don't scare him! What the HELL is wrong with you?!" Kagome landed an especially rough punch to Sesshomaru's shoulder, and smiled evilly as the demon grunted; that one would bruise.

"Bitch!" Sesshomaru barked, rotating the shoulder mournfully. He had forgotten her growth in strength. "˜This will only make baiting her more fun!' The gold eyes sparkled evilly as he stepped closer to the bristled Hellhound demon. "I would be very careful if I were you, wench." Kagome met his gaze coolly, setting his blood on fire. "I play rough and we wouldn't want you to break any nails now would we?" The last comment was met with a scowl on the beautiful demoness's face.

"I think we should be more concerned about ruining your hairdo than my manicure, Fluffy." Kagome snarled quietly. Sesshomaru answered with a scowl of his own. Neither noticed Inuyasha's entrance to their fuming circle, massaging his back and grumbling. Glancing from one to the other, Inuyasha merely shook his head and headed into the house.

"You two are freaks"¦" The half-demon growled as walked into the house and then all that could be heard was a joyful squeal from Ms. Higurashi.

"Inuyasha! How nice to see you! Would you like some ramen?" The banter had begun within the kitchen, leaving the two demons alone to fume in the backyard. Tree branches rustled, sunlight filtering through the leaves and bouncing off of their skin.

"You may be a demon now, but I do not believe you would last against a one such as myself." Sesshomaru lowered his face to Kagome's, his breathe tickling her face. "Or is a lesson in order? My intended mate should know how to take care of herself." His face may have remained passive, but he was doing a victory dance when the demoness's eyes began to bleed dark red.

"EXCUSE ME?!" She had never been so furious in her life! "˜The nerve of this man! How dare he assume that I'll just roll over and do whatever he pleases!?' Her body shook as her inner-youkai called to her. ::Tear him apart! No man speaks to us this way!:: Kagome shook her head violently, erasing the murderous thoughts from her mind. "˜Whoa"¦gotta remember to keep that in check!' She growled spitefully in her throat, glaring up into his eyes. "Screw it! I have better things to do than bicker with a spoiled puppy! I can't believe I was attracted to you, let alone allow you to kiss me!" Kagome began to walk away until an iron grasp held her in place.

"Spoiled puppy am I?! You couldn't keep your hands off this "˜spoiled puppy' back at the well clearing!" Kagome's face now matched her kimono. She twisted her arm from Sesshomaru's hand, her eyes had darkened considerably.

Without a word, Kagome turned her back and walked toward the house. Sesshomaru was in front of her before she could blink. A strange light had come to his eyes making Kagome shiver. He wordlessly pulled her into a tight embrace, ignoring her defiant pushes at his chest.

"I only meant to give the boy a little scare. I am"¦" Sesshomaru sighed deeply; amazed that he was going to say the following words. "Sorry for what I did. Don't walk away from me." He heard her gasp into his outer Kimono, her hands held tight to the silk.

"No, I'm sorry. I'm just scared that I'll never see my family again. I know that they're not my family by blood but I still love them none the less. Seeing Souta and knowing that this is my last trip home hurts." Kagome buried her face into his chest, choking back sobs. Warmth suddenly descended on her as Sesshomaru's claws combed through her hair. The Taiyoukai growled low, almost purring as he continued to toy with her hair.

"I wouldn't worry about that if I were you." Kagome's head shot up, her eyes widened slightly with curiosity. "You said that this place is the future, correct?" The girl in his arms nodded. "Considering our lifespan, I am fairly confident that we will be meeting your family again someday." Kagome's eyes sparked with new life as a smile came to her lips.

"Thank you, Sess. You have no idea what your words mean to me." The miko-demoness shifted onto the tips of her toes, and leaned forward catching Sesshomaru in a chaste kiss. His eyes widened considerably as hers closed. The Western Lord relaxed into the embrace, cupping Kagome's head with one hand and massaging the small of her back with the other. Her feather-soft lips were wreaking havoc on his senses, sending flames to each nerve-ending.

"My beautiful Kagome"¦" The man had a way with words"¦

"˜And breathing, walking, and what a fighter"¦' Kagome's thought process was disappearing quickly, drowning in the world of Sesshomaru's satin lips.

Hearing Kagome gasp softly, Sesshomaru lightly ran his tongue over her lips. The demoness gave a small growl of approval, pressing herself up against him. Sesshomaru took the gesture as encouragement and dipped his tongue into her mouth. Kagome was lost to the fire that spread through her body as another deep moan escape her mouth only to be muffled by Sesshomaru's lips. The demon holding her had begun to growl himself, the deep sound rippling through her body.

The kiss suddenly became more demanding as Sesshomaru's grip on Kagome tightened, their tongues tasting each other as if to draw one into the other. Kagome's arms wrapped around Sesshomaru's neck, her own claws tangled in his hair. Sesshomaru's tail had curved around Kagome's waist, holding her to him while her tail was wrapped around one of his legs. And that's how Ms. Higurashi found them.

"What on EARTH is going on out here?!?!" The couple jumped apart from each other as if acid had threatened to fall upon them. Kagome's reddened face was partially hidden behind a silken sleeve of her Kimono, while Sesshomaru bristled and growled low at the human that approached them. Ms. Higurashi's eyes widened to the size of grapefruits and her complexion paled to match her son's as her gaze traveled over Kagome's form. "Oh my God, Kagome! When did this happen?" The girl lowered the kimono sleeve and sent a piercing gaze through the woman. Taka had enough grace to look ashamed. "I know"¦" Her voice wavered slightly. "We need to talk." Turning sharply, she gestured for them to follow her into the house.

"You're damn right we need to"¦" Kagome bit out as she entered the house, Sesshomaru following closely behind.

Yeah! Another one down! This one was a tough one too. Dunno why though. Sorry if it's short but like I said, time is not really on my side right now. I'm getting ready to quit my job and start up my mural business (murals, portraits, tattoos, and stuff like that) so my free time is a little tight right now. No worries though, soon I'll have time to just chill and write. Keep reviewing! Much luv! - G.S.
