~Hi Everyone! Long time no see! I AM CURRENTLY REWRITING THIS WHOLE THING; HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NEW AND IMPROVED STORY! It's another story about Sesshomaru and an OC! This story is based on a dream I had! Hope you enjoy it. PLEASE REVIEW! I'd love to hear suggestions, comments, ideas, likes, dislikes etc. Oh and I do not own Inuyasha or any of the characters from. Sesshomaru is more kind hearted thanks to Rin so I just wanted to put that in there before anyone complains about him being OOC it's how I see him behaving now that Rin has softened his heart over the years. This story takes place a year after Kagome goes back through the well for the last time. Enjoy!
Before I start my life story let me tell you about myself; my name is Miyako Tenma; my friends call me Miya (pronounced My-ya), I'm eighteen years old and I live with my grandmother in a small village outside of Tokyo. I never met my father; he died shortly after I was born, and as for my mother she died when I was eight right in front of my eyes; lucky for me I don't remember much about her death and I remember nothing from before it. The psychiatrists and doctors said that the trauma of my mother's death must have blocked my memories; however I do have nightmares and strange dreams from time to time. I live with my grandparents in a cute old fashioned hotel that is modeled after an ancient Japanese temple. The guests watch an authentic tea ceremony, as well as dress up in authentic period dress. Even the workers were authentic kimono. We have a man made hot spring too. A few years ago my grandfather died in a car accident; so I had to stop going to school and help grandma with the hotel. I didn't mind after all she raised me from the age of 8 and I didn't even remember who she was when she came to get me from the hospital.
Here' a little info about me. I'm short and small at only five foot two and I'm fit; I have a nice body I guess and I've been told I'm supermodel pretty, not that I'm full of myself or anything, it's just what everyone tells me. I have long raven black hair that stops just before my knees and I have lilac colour eyes (Yes they are very strange I know but my grandma says it comes from my mother and that her eyes were purple too.)
My grandma's ancestors were Samurai Warriors so she tried to trained me to use every kind of Japanese sword she could get her hands on. Unfortunately I'm not good at all; I'm kind of clumsy, seems the sword fighting gene skipped me. Most times I end up hurting myself or the people around me. But I am okay at hand to hand combat, like I can defend myself from a mugger if need be and I do have my own katana; it has a black and bright pink handle with a matching black and bright pink sheath that has an awesome looking ancient black onyx crescent moon imbedded in to it.
Anyways back to the unfortunate events of my life…. Grandma and I decided to head into Tokyo to visit her oldest friend at the Higurashi shrine; business was slow this time of year and spring was right around the corner, soon it would be unbearably hot from the summer sun.
I knew we'd be staying the entire long weekend so I packed a small bag with two pairs of dark blue skinny jeans, socks, sneakers, two t-shirts and a tank top, an extra pair of flip flops, some underwear and PJ's, some toiletries, a brush, and a few neat ninja things to show Kagome(the granddaughter of grandma's best friend) from grandma's collection.
I decided to wear my favourite purple kimono (we usually wear them around the hotel to help customers feel like they are in ancient japan) it's deep purple with tiny deep pink cherry blossoms around the edge of the sleeves, collar and hem. It looked like a traditional kimono only I had altered it to stop just below my knees and slit the sides so they stopped mid-thigh to make it easier to move. Under the kimono I always wear a black tank-top and black short just in case (you never know what'll happen, next thing ya know you're standing there in your undies). The obi is a deep pink with purple wave like stripes. On my feet I either wear flip flops or sneakers no matter what I'm wearing; today I went with flip flops; they're purple with tiny neon green flowers.
I grabbed my katana to show Kagome and away grandma and I went. It took three hours to drive from our village to the Higurashi shrine and grandma sung the whole way there which didn't really bother me she was an awesome singer. When we arrived at the shrine we were met by Mr. Higurashi and Souta(Kagome's younger brother), I was sad to hear that Kagome had left right after high school to get married; the two of us played often as children and hung out into our early teens and I was hoping to catch up with her. As grandma and Mr. Higurashi talked/flirted I decided to go check out the old well hut before I began to puke from their lovey-dovey display. "Really get a room!" I thought as I walked away. I never understood grandma's relationship with Kagome's grandpa; they were both widowed and flirted like teenagers, I always wondered why they didn't just date already. It was obvious that they had feelings for each other.
I loved hanging out by the old well hut when I was a little girl; it was creepy and yet comforting at the same time so I decided to go sit by it. Souta showed up a few seconds after I had sat down on the edge and the two of us began to talk about the man Kagome had married. He told me that the guy's name was Inuyasha (Which I thought was a strange name, it means Dog Demon) the two of them met one day when Kagome was fifteen; Souta didn't say where or how they met but I didn't want to pry so I didn't ask; he told me that they hung out every day since then, but he had to move back to his home town and they didn't see each other for the last two years. When Kagome finished school she left to go marry him. (I thought that was strange; I mean how did she know he was even still interested in her? He could have been dating a different person by then.) I was listening to him tell me how cool this Inuyasha guy was, when something moved the bottom of my hair; I turned and looked down into the well but didn't see anything.
"Must have been a vine!" I thought to myself as I went back to listening to Souta.
Something brushed the bottom of my hair again.
"What the…" I thought as I turned and peered into the well.
After a few seconds of finding nothing; I shrugged it off and went back to listening to Souta again. I was just about to ask him about this Inuyasha guy's last name; when something grabbed my arm and gave it a strong tug that was strong enough to cause me to lose my balance and fall into the well. I remember screaming as I fell towards the bottom of the well and hearing Souta shouting my name after me. I closed my eyes and waited for my body to hit the bottom; only to open my eyes a few seconds later and see that I was already lying on the bottom of the well.
I sat up and noticed bright sunlight shinning down on me. When I looked up I saw blue sky above me filled with white fluffy clouds.
"Souta? Souta?" I shouted up wondering where the building had disappeared to "Hey get me out of here!"
When he didn't answer I began to climb the vines and roots that were growing through the sides. After I was free, I brushed the dirt from my clothes and looked around to find that I was standing in a small field surrounded by a forest.
"Where the hell am I?" I wondered as I began exploring my new surroundings, I didn't get too far before I heard a terrifying voice say "Mmmm, you smell yummy, I knew it was a good Idea to grab you!"
I grabbed the handle of my katana before spinning around and finding a creature that looked to be half man half spider. He had the body and head of a man, but he had eight disgusting eyes, and arms and two very sharp looking fangs hung from its mouth. He was crouched down towards the ground and was holding what looked like a thread from a spider web. I felt something brush my shoulder and looked down to see the tiny thread on my arm. I just stared at the string thing puzzled by it and this guy in front of me.
"It's more fun if you scream and beg for your life." It said to me before pulling the thread knocking me to the ground. I struggled to reach for my katana and when it was finally free I cut the thread holding my arm down and jumped to my feet taking a defensive stance. (The one thing I actually learned during the sword fighting training with my grandma all these years)
The creature was about to attack me when out of nowhere jumped a lady wearing what looked like tight black outfit similar to something ancient Samurai or ninjas used to wear only it was tight against her body like leather biker gear. She was holding a giant boomerang, standing next to her was a guy who looked like a monk from ancient japan, and next to him was a guy with long white hair and DOG EARS, wearing an all red outfit that looked like it was inspired by an ancient priests outfit and he was holding a giant sword. Like I mean giant, it was bigger than him and I wondered how he was even holding the thing up.
"I thought we got rid of all these guys years ago." Said the dog boy
"Great did I stumble into the middle of a cosplay convention or something?" I wondered as the spider man pulled a sword of his own out and the dog boy began fighting with him. He knocked the dog boy to the ground and then he shot spider webs at the monk and ninja girl trapping them; the dog eared guy ran towards them screaming "Iron revere soul stealer!" It was some sort of claw attack that set them free from the spider web; using this yellow energy, I was in awe I had never seen this kind of thing before in my life, I began to wonder if he was even human, no real human can do that sort of thing and no real human can shoot spider webs from their mouths for that matter.
"Where the hell am I?" I wondered out loud.
"Move, you idiot!" Screamed the dog guy as he ran at me and I turned to see the spider man charging at me as well but I couldn't move I was frozen in place.
I was too frightened to move and the dog guy slammed right into me knocking both of us to the ground just as the spider man shot some sort of acid from his mouth. I pushed the dog boy off of me and sat up. The spider man was charging my way once again so I jumped to my feet and was about to run away when the dog boy yelled "Wind scar!" behind me.
"What the hells a wind scar?" I thought
I turned to see what the dog boy was doing but I was thrown through the air by this giant energy wave and hit the ground hard. I was barely conscious when the ninja girl rushed to me and screamed "Inuyasha You could have killed her!"
"Feh, She got in the way besides I missed her didn't I!"
"Hey… Hey can you hear me?" the monk asked me.
"You almost hit her!" Screamed the ninja girl.
"But I didn't actually hit her that's all that matters!"
"Hey can you tell me your name?" the monk asked while looking down at me.
I wanted to answer him but I just could make any part of my body move. The last thing I remember before passing out was the dog boy staring down at me with worried golden eyes, the monk holding my hand and the samurai girl yelling at the dog boy.
There was a flash of lightning and I was being carried by someone. I knew I was dreaming the minute I saw the flash. It was the same dream I've had since my mother died; so I knew what was about to happen; there'd be another flash followed by a loud crash and we'd be thrown down, followed by me falling into darkness while a boy screams "Miyako!"
I quickly sat up and looked around the small hut like structure I seemed to be in my head instantly began to pound.
"Ye mustn't sit up to fast young lady, ye have a head injury and a few bruised ribs." said the voice of an elderly lady who looked to be about the same age as my grandma. She was wearing a priestess outfit and had an eye patch over her left eye.
"What be you're name young lady." she asked as she brought me a cup of water.
"Miyako Tenma my lady." I answered "Miya for short." grandma taught me to always call a priestess "my lady". It was customary and respectful even if they're rare back home. She looked at me puzzled for a few seconds before replying.
"Ye may call me Kaede." She replied as she took the now empty cup away from me.
"Where might ye be from Miya?" She asked
"Just outside of Tokyo." I replied "Can you tell me where I am?"
"Lady Kagome said she was from a place called Tokyo." Interrupted the voice of a young girl who had just entered the hut.
"Kagome?" I thought "nah it can't be her."
The girl was about eleven or twelve, she had long black hair that was tied up on one side into a cute ponytail; her kimono had different shades of purple waves with tiny yellow butterflies on it and she was carrying a basket full of herbs.
"You're eyes are purple! I've never seen someone with purple eyes before!" said the young girl and she knelt down in front of me and stared into my eyes "Are you a demon?" she asked
"Rin!" Grumbled the elderly lady.
"A….A what? No….no I'm not…..d…demons don't exist." I replied
"What? How can you say that? Lord Sesshomaru and Master Jaken are demons and Inuyasha's a half demon and you were attacked by a spider demon!" she said as she pouted.
"Inuyasha?" I said remembering the name of the guy Souta said Kagome went off to marry. "How many people are named that? Could it be the same guy?"
"Aye Inuyasha, he's the one who saved you from the spider demon." Said Lady Kaede
"And he accidently knocked you out." said another voice from the door of the hut
I looked towards the door to see the girl with the boomerang; she was now wearing a green and pink kimono and had a baby boy in her arms.
The image of the guy with dog ears flashed through my mind while they were talking. I was snapped back out of my thoughts by a cute young boy who looked like a little fox. He had fox like legs and feet as well as a tail and ears. He sat down next to me and began blabbering "How are you feeling? My name is Shippo, Wow your pretty, your eyes are purple,"
"Hi, I'm Miyako Tenma, Miya for short, oh and I feel alright thanks for asking," I said while blushing.
"Tenma?" said the voice of the monk who had just walked in. The small hut was slowly becoming over crowded.
"Uh yes, that's my last name." I replied to the monk "Why do you ask?"
"Well it's just that your last name means demon in Buddhist." he replied
Suddenly there was a loud commotion and in walked Kagome and the dog boy. The two of them were screaming at each other; but the minute Kagome saw me she stopped walking and her mouth nearly hit the floor.
"Miya?!" she shouted as she ran towards me. "What…How…When…?"
"Kagome!" I shouted back as I jumped to my feet and hugged her. "I'm so glad you're here!"
"Ye must lay back down Miya!" said Lady Kaede. I was about to ask her why when I became dizzy and had to hold on to Kagome for support. I nodded to Kaede and Kagome helped me lay back down. Kaede pushed everyone out the hut and then began making some sort of concoction on the small table behind me. She handed me a cup and said "Drink this and try to get a bit more rest."
I nodded and drank the gross mixture down; a few minutes later I began to feel my eye lids get heavy and my body relaxed. I was out cold a few seconds. When I woke up the hut was empty and it was sunny out so I guessed I must have slept until the next morning. I felt great my head was no longer pounding and I wasn't dizzy, but realized that my muscles were stiff and my side felt tight. So I decided to get up and go do some yoga to get myself moving. I tied my hair back up into a high pony tail changed out of the sleeping yukata (that Kaede must have put on me; I hoped) into my own kimono and walked out of the hut.
Kagome and Sango were sitting outside another hut so I sat down and asked Kagome where I was? How I got here? Why that little girl thought there were demons here? And like a thousand other questions. She answered all of my questions and I was shocked and scared. I never believed in demons even back in school when they taught us about all of the ancient legends I still wasn't a believer. But the most shocking thing to me was that I traveled back in time. The huts, the ancient clothes, the lack of electricity and plumbing, the clean fresh air and the frightening idea that demons existed and one had attacked me; was a little overwhelming. She also explained that Inuyasha was a half demon and Shippo was a full fox demon but they were friends and wouldn't harm me; but not all demons were kind towards humans and that some even eat humans like the spider man that attacked me when I first came out of the well.
"I think I need to be alone for a while." I said to the two before asking if Sango if she had any mats that I could use.
She pulled out an ancient looking mat that was made out of straw. I smiled and thanked her for the mat and said goodbye to the two girls before finding a nice place on the hill near the village that was quiet and beginning my yoga routine. I was in the middle of the side plank pose when I felt someone watching me, I always knew when people were watching me it was like a sixth scene. I felt the hair on the back of my neck standing up so I stopped what I was doing and looked around but no one was there, so I went back to my yoga routine. After a while I still felt like I was being watched; so I stopped and took a good slow look around. I saw something white streak across the woods to my right but when I spun around but there was no one there. I felt totally creeped out so i gathered up the mat and headed back to the village. Kaede cook food for lunch back at the hut so I helped her chop up the vegetables and we all settled down to eat in the over crowed hut. The day quickly turned to night and so Kagome, Sango, Rin, and I went down to the hot spring to bath and wash our clothes.
That night I fell asleep shortly after it became dark out and I dreamt about a beautiful pair of golden eyes watching me from the woods; golden eyes that somehow seemed familiar yet ice cold. When I woke up I decide to go and do yoga again and asked Kagome if she'd like to join me but she had to go with Kaede to pick more medical herbs; so I went alone. I was just finishing up when I got the feeling that I was being watched again. "This is so annoying." I thought as I turned and watched the forest around me. Just as I was about to reach down for the mat; a man stepped from the woods.
I looked him up and down and soon realized two things 1. He was extremely good looking 2. He was definitely a demon.
"Wow! He's gorgeous!" I thought as I stared at the demon. "Snap out of it girl! He may eat humans; remember what Kagome said?"
He had long white hair and golden eyes that reminded me of Inuyash, but they were cold and unemotional like my dream. There was a blue crescent moon in the middle of his forehead; which signified that he was part of some sort of royal family(not sure how I knew that but I did), he also had magenta stripes on both eyelids and two magenta stripes on either side of his face. He was wearing a white kimono with red chrysanthemum flower crests on his collar and sleeves; he was also wearing white hakama and armour covered his shoulder and chest. His obi matched the design on mine but his was yellow and purple.
He had two swords hanging from his obi; which frightened me a little, part of me wanted to walk closer to him, to touch his beautiful face and that fluffy tail of his but logic told me to back away so I did. I tightened the grip on my katana and as he stepped closer to me I continued to back away from him like he was a bear. Buttttt I backed right into a tree.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid." I thought to myself as I closed my eyes and waited for this creature to eat me or something. I mean just cause he was beautiful didn't mean he didn't like to eat humans right?
My heart was pounding out of my chest and I was shaking in fear; so I was really shocked when he stroked the side of my face in a gentle and loving manner. His touch felt familiar to me; like I've felt his hand on my face before, almost like I knew him. "But how is that possible?" I thought "I've never seen or met him before, I'm not even from this time period."
I opened my eyes to find his face only centimetres from me. I could see the burning desire in his beautiful golden eyes but he quickly shook his head and frowned; his eyes turned cold as ice again and he glared at me before he stepped away from me looking furious.
"Who are you?" he growled as he reached his hand back and it began to glow green. Just when he was about to strike; I heard someone yell "SESSHOMARU!" I turned my head to see Inuyasha and Kagome running towards me. I looked back around and found that the handsome demon guy was completely gone from sight.
"Where is he?!" screamed Inuyasha "That damn bastard!"
"Miya, are you alright?" asked Kagome
"Yeah I'm fine,"
"Did he hurt you?" asked Inuyasha who was now inches from my face.
I leaned away from him and shook my head no. "Man talk about dog breath, you got any mints Kagome?"
I heard Kagome snicker and Inuyasha growl, which made me burst out laughing. I pushed past him and walked back to the yoga mat I was still shaking from my recent encounter as I gathered the mat up in my arms.
"Maybe we should take you back to the well and send you home, it's not safe here and demons seem to be attracted to your scent," said Inuyasha
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Well first that spider demon, then the two Kagome and I destroyed earlier and now Sesshomaru."
"What other two?" I said frightened, I didn't like this whole demon thing, they were strong and I was just a normal girl.
"While you were out cold two demons came into the village." Said Kagome
"She does smell good." Said Inuyasha "Kinda like honey, vanilla and some sort of spice I can't place."
"Kagome what's wrong with Inuyasha?" I asked as he stepped towards me; he looked possessed and his eyes were empty looking. He smiled at me and I could see the same burning desire in his eyes that were in the handsome demon's eyes, that Inuyasha called Sesshomaru.
"Inuyasha!" screamed Kagome
"Let go!" I screamed as he grabbed my arm "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
"Snap out of it!" Kagome screamed as she slapped him in the face; I took that chance to kick him to the ground. He sat up and shook his head before saying "Sorry, I don't know what happened to me, one minute I was smelling your scent and the next I wasn't in control."
"Okay that's it I'm going home before any more demons try anything with me, I'm really sorry for….uh…whatever that was Kags!" I said waving my hand at Inuyasha.
"It's okay it's not your fault!" she replied
I frowned and began walking towards the well; when I got there I was a little frightened; I mean what if I jumped in and broke my leg or something. I clenched my teeth and slowly jumped in, only to hit the bottom with a thud.
"Ah Kagome, it didn't work!" I shouted up "Kagome?!"
"Didn't they follow me?" I thought
Finally a strong looking hand reached down towards me so I grabbed it thinking "Oh thank god, Inuyasha heard me!" When I was out of the well I tripped on a branch and was caught by very strong masculine arms. "Thanks." I said as I looked up to find the Sesshomaru guy holding me in his arms.
"You again?" I said as I pushed myself away from him
"Why do you...?" he growled a half sentence at me "What trickery are you using? "
"I…What?" was all I managed to say as I backed away from the demon; even thought I still had the urge to run up and touch that soft looking fluffy tail; he still scared the crap out of me. He grabbed my arm and threw me to the ground hard. I looked up at him just as his claws began to glow again.
"Well that was uncalled for." I thought as I glared up at him. I noticed his eyes were no longer a beautiful gold color; they were now a deep crimson red and he looked absolutely crazy.
"What kind of trickery are you using?" he growled "You shall answer this Sesshomaru?!"
"I….I….I don't…..I'm not…." I managed to stutter out.
"I shall rid myself of these vile feelings by destroying you and your trickery!" He said as a neon green whip appeared from his fingers.
