Waiting for You by Yuki

Chapter 1

A/N: Sesshoumaru here in this fanfiction is still not the cold type of person and his usual stoic face... but he doesn't talk too much to people he doesn't know and like. Thats why people get the notion of him being rude, cold and emotionless. :P

Chapter one:

It was very cold and because of that she woke up... Then she remembered her BIG test coming up in three weeks! She had to prepare for it and she decided to pack but carefully so that she won't wake the others especially Inuyasha. But everything seems to go bad and she accidentally steps on a twig which causes the half-demon to wake up! "Why does he have to have sensitive hearing!" Kagome cursed beneathe her breath.

When he woke up and saw her big yellow backpack full again, he knew where she was going -Home.

"Why are you going back again?! We still have to look for the other shards!" Inuyasha said shouting which made everyone else there wake up. Sango, Miroku and Shippo saw them bickering again but they did not stop them. It was quite normal and besides if they tried to stop them they will just be glared and screamed at by... well Inuyasha. So they justed watche and listened to them.

"I have a big test and I have to take it and in order to pass I have to prepare! And I can't just study for it in over night it is not like the other tests and this one is very long and takes 2 or even 3 days to study and It takes time. I still have to ask my teacher to help me cope up with the lesson and I have to copy the notes because I was absent the whole time and busy collecting the shards" Kagome said. "Can't your test wait?" he asked sounding irked." Well...no my test can't wait unless I want to flunk school and I have to be in a place where I can concentrate so I can study well and do goo-" Kagome was rudely interupted when Inuyasha said "FEH!" This made her blood boil! If he was'nt her friend and just another demon trying to get the shikon no tama she was sure she would not hesitate to purify him! Then she decided to just walk away but it seemed like Inuyasha was not going to stop his insults... She had no choice but to say those sweet and pleaing words. "SIT BOY!" Then there was a loud crashing sound. Then finally Miroku decided to interupt. "Inuyasha, you should just let Kagome-sama go. We have just found a new shard. It won't hurt to stop looking for more for awhile." "It's none of your business! Stay out of this!" Inuyasha, as predicted, bit out while trying to stand up. Sango was now joining Miroku in persuading Inuyasha to let Kagome go home... Then the 3 of them were now arguing like there was no tomorrow and Kagome took this oppurtunity to slip and go home. She cautiously walked pass him and walked towards the well to go home.

Then suddenly she was thinking about Inuyasha's and Sesshoumaru's dad Inutaisho... she always wondered how he look. If he was like Sessoumaru? or like Inuyasha? Then she thought that he would be more like Sesshoumaru... handsome no, beautiful and she suddenly blushed deep red at the thought... she always thought Sesshoumaru was handsome. Abruptly, she was brought out of thoughts when she bumped the well. She let out a tired sigh and decided to hurry and jump in the well before Inuyasha catches up to her. But she was still imagining how Inutaisho really would look like.

Kagome was surrounded with a blue light and the when it was gone, she was confused why there was no roof... when she climbed out she realized she was still in the feudal era! "I still can't figure out how this actually well works!" she said while she scowled. She was about to jump back in and try again when she thought 'What the heck?! I guess it won't hurt if I stay for a while and rest! Besides I'm quite used to cramming' she thought tiredly. When she tried to walk back to camp she did not find anyone. Shippo, Miroku, Sango, not even Inuyasha but instead she found a field with nothing but grass. Kagome became frantic but kept telling herself 'I bet they are now in Kaede's hut and tending to the wounds Miroku have because he must have groped Sango again and earned a good slap.' Kagome laughed nervously.

When she was on the path that leads to Kaede's village, she thought 'I should have seen a few huts by now. Fear washed all over her now... She ran towards where Kaede's hut was suppose to be but only found more grass. Fear has now fully taken over her and she ran to who knows where until she stumbled on a tree's root. She didn't move and just sobbed there on the ground. When she was a bit more composed she stood up and just walked staight ahead not knowing that some demons have already chosen her as their prey. It' has been awhile since the demons have skillfully followed her until she noticed their presence. She did not let them find out that she knows she is being hunted, well not until she has prepared herself.

Finally she stopped and sat on the ground and placed her big yellow bag on her lap and clutched her bow and arrows while her eyes were closed. The demons decided to go for the kill, but even when they have not yet gotten that close to her, they were already being purified. She heard srceams of pain and when Kagome opened her eyes she was shocked to see the demons being turned to dust. She only meant to erect a barrier around her and when they got too close start to shoot at them but was still satisfied with the result.

She still stayed there sitting still and thinking about what have just happened not knowing that a pair of golden eyes were watching her intently.

She was about to leave when she heard something behind the bushes. She stood up right away and prepared to shoot her arrow. Then she saw the shadow come out from the darkness.

"Sesshoumaru" she gasped. "How did you know my name?" he said cooly. 'What the heck is he talking about?! Did he hit his head or something? Wait a second... why doesn't he have his usual swords with him? Did he forget who am I? Why does he look like a 17 year old?! Is it some kind of demon power?! Where am I!' He walk towards her and sensed confusion. Then Kagome suddenly felt dizzy and blacked out. Sesshoumaru went to her right away and....
