Okay here is my new story. I know this chapter is not very long that's because it's like an interdiction to the story. But the other chapters will be longer. I actually was going to make this chapter longer but I fell asleep last night. I have sleeping problems. So like I hope you like it. Oh and on the 5th of September I am going to my aunts wedding and I won't be back till the 13th so there will probably be no updates until some time after the 13th. But I will write as much as I can be fore I leave and on the plane and crap like that. The story of this story has nothing to do with the song by John Micheal Montgomery but that is an awesome song ya'll should really listen to it. Oh and something not related to the story in the Inuyasha magna Sesshoumaru got his arm back for those of you who care. Now on with the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter 1: What's going on?

"Inuyasha. How could you?" The brown haired girl known as Kagome whispered as she stared into guilt- written amber eyes.

Those eyes couldn't stare at her anymore. He was doing the right thing and the wrong thing at the same time. Inuyasha sat down and stared into the fire. He would stare at anything at the moment but her. Her sadden expression, her teary eyes. He couldn't face the music.

She couldn't believe it. 'How could he? This is a group decision, so who the hell made him the boss. Didn't he know how this would make me feel? Which I'm sure he did. That little scum bag. And why is she here anyways? Didn't she always say no before? What made her change her decision? What if Inuyasha offered Kikyo to be his… no. He wouldn't. Would he? I bet he did. That Ass- whole.'

Kagome rapidly stood up and gathered her stuff as fast as she could. "Sango can I borrow Kirara?"

"Sure Kagome."

"Don't tell me you're going home again. You just came back." Inuyasha said, actually more like yelled as he stood up to tower over Kagome to try to intimidate her. Which just added more fuel to the fire.

"Yes I'm going home you idiot. How could you think I would stay here after you spring this on me." The anger roared so loud in her voice that even Sango backed away. "Besides you have some one else to protect so that shows me where your priorities are. Let's go Kirara." With that said she hoped on Kirara and rode in silence all the way to the well.

When they got to the well Kagome hoped off of Kirara and placed her stuff on the ground. She turned to Kirara, petted her, and said, "Thanks Kirara."

Kirara started rubbing against her in a soothing way.

"It's okay Kirara. I'll be okay. I just need sometime to digest this."

Kirara stopped rubbing her. She walked away a little bit, took one last look at Kagome, then flew away.

Kagome picked up her bag and bows and arrows and walked towards the well. But when she got to the edge something was there. It was a rose. Kagome put her stuff down and picked up the rose. She sat down with her back against the well. It was a beautiful flower and looked not of this world. Because it was a white rose with a small lining of silver on the tips of the petals. The rose smelt like vanilla. "I wonder where this rose came from. It's gorgeous."

Kagome put the rose into her back- pack. With that Kagome stood up, grabbed her stuff, and jumped into the well. But something wasn't right. The light was white instead of blue. Kagome started panicking. Millions of question ran through her head with no answers. Then the light finally faded. Kagome was too afraid to look up. Expecting the stone age she didn't want to. Kagome fell to her knees with tears daring to spill from her eyes. But she didn't cry. Instead she banged her head on the well over and over again until her forehead became numb. "This just really isn't my day."

Finally she look up. It was just a blue sky she saw. Deciding she couldn't spend the rest of her life in a well she throw her bag over the edge followed by her bows and arrows. Shortly after Kagome emerged from the well.

Feet firmly planted on the ground Kagome looked around. "I'm still in Feudal Japan. I can't believe it. The well won't let me go through. I can't go back home."

The tears were no longer being held back the poured down her face. A couple hours passed before Kagome stopped crying. With no where to go what could she do. Emotionless Kagome stood up and grabbed her stuff. She walked off into the forest the opposite direction of the village.

Trudging along through the forest Kagome started thinking about her future. Coming up with ideas of what she would do. She couldn't stay with Inuyasha if he was going to be with Kikyo no matter what she had said before. Then there was always the chance that Kaede could fix what ever happened to the well.

Kagome walked herself to a river. She put her stuff down next to some boulders and sat on one of the boulders. She curled her legs up to her chest, wrapped her arms around her legs, and rested her chin on her knees. That's when Kagome spotted something that she hadn't seen when she came to the river. Well it was more like a someone than a something. By the color and pattern on the haori(shirt) Kagome instantly knew who it was.

"Sesshoumaru." Kagome whispered.

He was just lying there. Legs dangling in the water. The small waves washed over him moving his hair and haori up and down. The sand around him had a pink tint to it where his blood had been spilled out and washed away.

"Sesshoumaru." Kagome said a little bit louder than a normal talking voice.

No response.

Kagome got off the boulder. She slowly started to inch her way towards Sesshoumaru. Finally at his side and still no movement Kagome began to wonder if he was still alive. She knelt down next to him and checked his pulse. It wasn't that strong but at least it was there. Deciding that she should move him out of the water, Kagome stood up and moved in front of him. Bending down Kagome hocked her hands under Sesshoumaru's arms. She started pulling him away from the water, which wasn't that easy. But gradually she got him to the tree line where she tripped on a tree branch.

With her foot getting caught on an up rotted tree rot Kagome fell backwards bringing Sesshoumaru down with her. Kagome started to blush. She had never had a man lay onto of her like this. A big strong very but she cut off her thoughts before they went too far. And his head wasn't in the most appropriate place at that. After some effort Kagome got Sesshoumaru off of her(why?) and onto his back. She pulled him to a tree where she took of his mokomoko and used it as a pillow for him. With out any other thoughts Kagome grabbed her first- aid kit and worked on his wounds. There was one serious one across his chest and one minor one. But the minor one must be why he was unconscious seeing how it was on his head.

With everything bandaged up Kagome stopped and stared at him. This wasn't the same man she started down in Inuyasha's father's tomb. This man was younger. He no longer looked nineteen but seventeen. And there were other things that said that this man was different. Tokijin and Tenseiga. Where were they? And the sword she had removed from his person was one she had never seen before. And Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un. Where were they? And the most important one of all he had his left arm. And as far as she knew it was still cut off.

"I feel an on coming head ach." Kagome gave up on all the questions. She wasn't getting anywhere anyways.

Kagome went back to staring at Sesshoumaru. Tranquility. It was written on his face. Normally he looked calm, but when she saw him he was usually attacking Inuyasha or herself. But now seeing him up close he was… beautiful. As the wind flew by his hair blew in front of his face. With her hand acting on its own accord Kagome's hand moved the strands of hair out of his face. When she moved his hair her finger tips barely touched his skin.

"So soft." Kagome whispered. Her hand moved back to his face where she traced his four strips and his crescent moon. When she got to the tip of his crescent moon Kagome snapped out of what ever she was just under. "What am I doing? I'm going crazy. Yup that's it."

Kagome stood up and went over to her back pack and started digging through it. Taking out the blanket, she usually leant to Sango, she headed back to Sesshoumaru and covered him up. It was getting late, colder, and he was still wet.

"He'll be lucky if he doesn't get ammonia." The rest of the night Kagome built a fire and kept it going. She made some food, and rolled out her sleeping bag. Kagome stayed up as long as she could keeping watch, but around two o' clock in the morning she feel asleep.

Three hours later those charming forest animals woke for their morning feed waking Kagome up as well. Not able to fall back asleep Kagome started her day early.

Every thing slowly came back to him. His hearing started off soft but grew louder till it went back to normal. His eye sight went from blurry to visible. His senses picked up alerting him of his surroundings and the brown haired girl only a couple feet away from him.

Sesshoumaru tried to shift into a different position, so he could see his 'camp companion.' She was poking the fire (just for your F.Y.I. it's night again). She had some strange belongings. She was wearing some weird clothes and instantly Sesshoumaru's mind formed some perverted thoughts. (and yes young Sesshoumaru is a pervert.)

Kagome was lost in her thoughts as to why she was helping Sesshoumaru and as to why she had the need to touch him the other day, when she heard some movement coming form where Sesshoumaru was. Looking away from the fire to look at Sesshoumaru Kagome saw that he was awake and staring at her. So the stare off began. Blinking was aloud, but on one could look away.

After some awkward silence Kagome finally broke the silence by saying, "Hi."

No response.

'Figures.' Kagome thought. "So um… you've been unconscious for about a day and a half for as long as I've been with you. You could have been out longer but I wouldn't know."

Silence

"Um… do you remember anything?"

Silence

"So um… I bandaged your wounds. The one on your chest was the only serious one. The one on your head was minor, but it explains why you were unconscious."

Silence

'I'm going to stop talking now.' Kagome turned her attention back to the fire.

"Why would you help a stranger?"

'He speaks. It's a miracle.' Kagome looked back at Sesshoumaru and said, "It's the right thing to do."

"Nothing's ever the right thing to do."

"I know."

Sesshoumaru tried to sit up. He found it very difficult and painful. But he wouldn't let anyone know. But Kagome knew. With all those years with Inuyasha she knew. In an instant she was by Sesshoumaru's side helping him. Sesshoumaru didn't object, nor did he say a word. But he stared at her. Trying to figure her out.

"You are a miko(priestess) are you not?"

"Yes I am."

"Are you aware that I am a demon?"

"It's kind of hard not to tell by your markings, hair, and eyes." Kagome was done helping Sesshoumaru sit up, but she still sat next to him.

"Do miko not despises demons?"

"Not this one."

"Why?"

"I don't really know. I have friends that are demons and half demons. Only one of them has an attitude but he use it to block out others. Then I've meet some humans who had demons as husbands or mates and they always say their husbands or mate were nice and kind. And I think most demons are nice in some aspect of their life, but I do know some awful demons and half demons. I'm sorry. I'm just going on and on and I'm pretty sure you don't care."

If he laughed he would have. He had to admit it though she was cute. In more ways than one. "You talk a lot."

"It's a curse." Kagome gave him a warm smile. Which affected Sesshoumaru in away he had never felt before. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine."

"If you're in pain you can tell me."

Sesshoumaru just stared at her.

"Fine be that way."

Sesshoumaru grinned on the inside. She was joking with him.

"So. Do you remember anything that happened to you?"

"No. but I know who did it."

"Don't do anything till you're healed though."

"Are you worried for me?"

"No." That was a complete lie. But why was she worried for him. He had tried to kill her more than once. But putting all the pieces together she had gathered the past day Kagome knew it would be in his future but her past. 'Should I keep being nice to him, cause it's not like he did anything yet. But then why did he try to kill me in the past. Future. Did I do something to make him mad at me? Or maybe he doesn't remember me or won't remember me. Oh goodness now I have a head ach.' Coming out of her thoughts Kagome realized Sesshoumaru was still staring at her.

"What is your name?

"Kagome."

"Sesshoumaru."

"Nice to meet you."

"Same here."

"You should probably rest."

"I think I've rested enough."

"Oh."

"But I won't do anything till I am healed."

"Thank you."

Sesshoumaru's some what promise earned him another warm smile. Which he enjoyed every moment of.

"If you don't mind I'm going to go to sleep, I only got three hours of sleep last night."

"Go on."

Kagome got up from her spot next to Sesshoumaru and went over to her sleeping bag. Unzipping it she shimmed her way into it. After only a couple of minutes she was fast asleep.

Sesshoumaru watched her. From when she left his side till this morning when she was making breakfast.

"Are you sure you don't want anything? Fish? Fruit? Anything?"

"I am fine."

"You promise."

"I promise."

"Okay. How are your wounds doing?"

"Fine they should be healed by midday. Then I'll take you to your home."

Kagome stopped what she was doing and looked at Sesshoumaru. "You don't have to do that."

"I owe it to you for saving my life. Besides it is too dangerous for ladies to walk out her alone by themselves."

In a quiet hushed tone Kagome said, "Well I don't think I can go back home."

Even though she was whispering Sesshoumaru's demonic hearing picked up every word she said. "Why not?"

"Well let's just say something happened to the way I go home. As you can tell I'm not from around here and the way I go home is very complicated."

"Show me were your home is and maybe I can help."

"Okay, but I don't think you can do anything."
