"You know, I expected you to take over the world some day."

Cool eyes glanced over the top of a recent paper. To the casual bystander the wealthy man would appear completely apathetic. Kagome knew better. She saw the spark in his eyes.

"I expected you to be dead. It would seem both expectations were not met."

Kagome flopped onto the bench next to Sesshoumaru with a careless air. She had not aged since his last encounter with her. That encounter had happened nearly five hundred years ago. The miko should be dead, not now sitting next to him in a park.

"Explain." He commanded as he folded his paper neatly in half.

"I thought you were smart enough to figure it out by now." Kagome arched a brow at the demon. She was attempting to goad him.

He did not appreciate her sassiness. Sesshoumaru growled low before glaring at the impudent female currently annoying him.

Kagome let out a sigh. She'd been warned not to nettle the daiyoukai, but she couldn't help it. She'd been strangely excited since being informed of his survival to her own time. She was in a playful mood, one that was obviously starting to piss off the mighty lord.

"Do you remember the old well near Inuyasha's Forest?"

A curt nod was her answer.

"It acts as a time portal. Or it used to. I was originally born in this time, but at the age of fifteen I was able to travel to the feudal era."

Sesshoumaru's facial features changed none. He remembered the rumors whispered about the girl.

"After the jewel was completed I was returned here. Shippo found me a few months ago. He's the one that told me where I could find you."

"Why seek me?"

"Because I wanted to remember."
