Chapter 1: Where Am I?

"Are you coming Ayuri?" Kagome yelled standing down the stairs waiting patiently for her roommate, Ayuri. It had been 2 long years since the well had closed. When they had beaten Naraku, she'd immediately gone home to tell her family the good news. But when she tried to go back the well had closed. Now she lives in a small apartment across town from the shrine and goes to the local college.

"I'm coming!" Ayuri yelled, stroking the last of her mascara on, quickly placing it down on the edge of the counter, ran her brush through her hair a few times and checked her lips in the mirror before going down the stairs to meet her friend.

"Hurry up! The festival started 10 minutes ago!"

"Alright, let's go," said Ayuri, smiling as she quickly ran down the stars with her purse flung over her shoulders.

Kagome rolled her eyes with a smirk, "Wanna drive?"

Her friend's eyes widened and a smile crossed her face, "Yeah definitely." Grabbing the keys to Kagome's midnight blue Celica she quickly waltzed outside and jumped in the car. They rolled down the windows and turned up the radio as they made their way to the Higurashi shrine.

Making it on record time, they waved to Kagome's grandfather, who was sitting outside on the porch. He smiled, motioning for them to come over to him. He was sorting various artifacts that were being displayed at the festival.

"I'm glad you made it," he said, pulling Kagome up into a big hug when they reached him.

Kagome smiled "Do you need me to do something for you?"

"As a matter of fact I do," he said as he turned back to his artifacts. "Do me a favor and go get the things on this list from the storage room? I have my hands full getting all these artifacts at the moment."

"No probs," she said. She took the list from him and ran off towards the storehouse. As she passed the Goshinboku she paused, thinking of all the wonderful times she spent with Inuyasha in the sacred tree. Something to her left caught her attention and she turned towards it, gasping at what she saw. 'He's not supposed to be here,' she thought as she stared at the last person she had ever expected to see again. He had his back to her and appeared to be taking in his surroundings, but she would have recognized him anywhere.

"Sesshoumaru," she breathed, not sure whether to be happy to see him or terrified of what he would do to her. I mean sure he was her ally during the final battle with Naraku, but that didn't mean he still considered her one. He turned towards her and she couldn't help but smile. He looked utterly confused for a few seconds before his mask fell into place.

"Where am I?" he said calmly, somewhat relieved to see someone familiar.

She giggled and walked over to him, "You're 500 years in the future, in a city called Tokyo." He quirked his eyebrow at her and she giggled again. "It's a long story, I'll explain later. Right now I need you to come with me."

"Why should I?"

"Do you have any other options?"

He sighed, knowing she was right, for once. He had no idea how he had gotten here, or even where here was. "Very well," he said solemnly, "This Sesshoumaru will go with you."

She nodded and turned around, in the direction of her car. "Stay here for a sec," she said when they reached the stairs, "I have to go tell my Grandpa that I'm leaving." She returned a few minutes later and they walked down to her car together. Kagome didn't know what to think as she showed him how to get into the car and then took off towards her apartment. If he was here then that meant that their worlds were still connected. The only question was if the well was open again or if he'd gotten here some other way. She decided to think about it later and turned to look at him. He was watching everything they passed and trying to hide his curiosity.

"I guess there are a few things that I need to tell you about my world," she said meekly, still unsure of how he felt towards her. "The first thing you need to know is that there are no demons in my time." He stared at her for a minute and then looked back out the window without saying a word. "Second thing is that you can't...really...kill whoever you want while you're here."

"What makes you think that you can tell me that?" He said, glaring at her maliciously.

"Hehe...um...well, you see...there isn't really anything to kill here, and if you did all it would get you is lots of trouble and it would take even longer for me to get you home." He continued to glare at her, "The other thing I need to tell you is that it would be in your best interest if you didn't tell anyone that you're a demon."

"Why?"

"Well, if you tell them that you're a demon, they are either going to laugh at you or ship you off to be tested on."

"How is it that you came to be here?" he said suddenly, turning to look at her curiously.

"Duh, I live here!"

"No, you do not"

"Oh right," she said, smacking herself in the head, "I forgot that you don't know the details. You see, I'm from this time, but I traveled to the feudal era though the bone-eaters well. But now that the jewel is gone, it won't let me through anymore. What confuses me is how you are here if the well is closed? Do you remember how you got here?"

"No,"

As she turned into her driveway, Kagome sighed, "I have no clue how I'm going to get you back home." She got out and once she was sure he could get out she unlocked the front door and went inside. "You're just gonna have to stay here with me until I can figure all this out." He 'hmmmd' and she sighed again 'he sure hasn't changed' she thought as she set her things down on the table and turned to look at him. "First things first, we need to get you some modern clothes. I think I still have some of Inuyasha's clothes that you can wear."

After rummaging through the closet for what seemed like forever, Kagome found a pair of sweats that Inuyasha had liked to wear. She doubted they would fit Sesshoumaru, but they would have to work until she could buy him some clothes. "You can change in there," she said, holding out the clothes and pointing to her bathroom. She blushed as she remembered something, "Um, if you need help with anything just ask me." When he can out a few minutes later Kagome couldn't help but laugh. The pants came to halfway up his calf and the shirt stopped at his elbows.

"Please tell this Sesshoumaru that this is not how these are supposed to look," he said as he leaned against the door and frowned.

She snorted and shook her head, "No, go change and then we'll go get you some new clothes." While he changed Kagome went to go get something to drink and grab her purse. When she came back up he was sliding his swords into his sash. "Um," she said cautiously, "you can't take those with you."

"You dare to tell this Sesshoumaru what to do?"

"Well, you are going to stick out enough as it is, we don't need your swords drawing even more attention to you. And I don't even want to think about what my roommate would do if she saw them, she's going to freak as it is."

"Very well," he said, laying Tenseiga and Tokigen back on her bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ugg..." said Kagome when they got home, "I officially hate the mall!" She muttered running her finger tips through her silk black hair. They had had to go to 5 different stores before they found something he could wear. And then he decided he didn't like them. So, they had had to go to who knows how many other stores to get everything he would need.

"KAGOME!!!!!"

"Oh no," she whispered, unconsciously moving closer to Sesshoumaru, "I forgot about my roommate." He looked down at her and ###### his eyebrow. "What?" she said innocently, "Just hide me, ok?" She could've sworn she heard him snort as she scooted further behind his regal form.

"Kagome! Where are you!? You have some...who the hell are you???" Ayuri yelled her face red with frustration. When she had gone to meet Kagome at the car she realized that she'd been left behind, and so she'd been forced to bum a ride from Kagome's mother.

"That is none of your concern," Sesshoumaru answered coldly. He could already tell he wasn't going to like this human. She was even more loud and annoying than Kagome.

"It is too my concern!" she yelled back, poking him in the chest, "You are in my house!"

'Uh-oh,' thought Kagome, 'she touched him. I'd better cut in before he kills her.' "Um, Ayuri," she said, stepping in front of Sesshoumaru, "this is Sesshoumaru. He showed up at the festival and I had to get him out of there, sorry."

"Wait, isn't Sesshoumaru Inuyasha's brother?"

"Yes, now do you see why I had to get him out of there?"

"Yeah, I guess I can forgive you for leaving me. But Kagome you could have at least told me you were leaving."

"I couldn't find you. And I didn't have time to look for you."

"Okay, so why is he here? I thought the well had closed up." She said, moving into the den to sit in a chair.

"Your guess is as good as mine," Kagome said, sinking down into another chair and motioning for Sesshoumaru to sit as well. "Now I just have to find a way to get him back."

"Well, now that that's all settled, I'm going to bed. But I do have one more question. If he's staying here, which I assume he is, where is he going to sleep?"

Kagome sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. She hadn't thought of that. They only had 2 bedrooms. There wasn't enough room for her to stay in Ayuri's room and she defiantly wasn't going to sleep with him. "I don't know, I didn't think that far ahead. But I'll figure something out."

"Well, I'd love to help, but I'm exhausted so I'm gonna go crash. See ya in the morning," she yawned, making her way up the stairs to her room, leaving Sesshoumaru and Kagome alone once again.

"Come on," Kagome sighed as she too began to climb the stairs, "the sooner we find you a place to sleep the better."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning came way too soon for Kagome. They had ended up with Sesshoumaru sleeping in a chair in Kagome's room. Sighing, she got up and looked around to find him staring at her. "How long have you been awake?" she asked, wiping the sleep from her eyes.

"Not long,"

"Well, I'm hungry. What do you say we go get something to eat?" He nodded and followed her down the stairs to the kitchen. "What do you usually eat for breakfast?" she asked him as he sat down at the counter, "I'll try to make it for you if I can."

He shook his head, "you would not like it. Just give this Sesshoumaru whatever you are having."

"Ok," she said walking over to the cabinet to get the things she would need. When she was done she handed him a plate of pancakes with eggs and sausage. "I hope you like it," she said, setting her plate down next to him before going to get them drinks. "After we finish eating I'll go get you an air mattress so that you don't have to sleep in that chair again tonight."

"What is an air mattress?" he asked as he inspected his food.

"It's like a regular mattress like the one I slept on last night except it is filled with air. What do you want to drink?"

"It does not matter," he said, watching her open the fridge and take out a glass pitcher. She poured the strange liquid into 2 glasses before walking back over and sitting down next to him. "What is this?" he asked, sniffing the glass.

"It's orange juice." He 'hnnnd' and took a sip. "So," she said watching him eat, "do you like it?"

"Yes," he answered calmly. He had to admit, if only to himself, that in truth he had never tasted anything like this. The food was good, no better than good. And the drink had a kick to it that he really liked. "What is this called?" He pointed to the food on his plate.

"Those are pancakes, those are eggs, and that is sausage. It's my favorite breakfast. OH! I almost forgot. Try the pancakes with a little of this on them." She handed him a bottle of syrup and watched as he drizzled a little onto his pancakes. He took a bite and she could have sworn that his eyes flickered, just for a moment, with amazement, before they become stoic again. "So," she said as soon as they were done, "do you want to go with me to get your bed or do you just want to stay here?"
