Chapter 1

Appearance of the Mysterious Fluff Monster

"Mom! I'm home!" cried a young girl of 19 as she opened the door to the house. "Souta! Grandpa!" Hopping on one foot while trying to take off her shoe, she looked around and found the house to void of life. Well, until a furry head popped around the corner and meowed.

"Hey, Buyo. How's my special sweetie?" The girl asked as she picked the overgrown ball of purring fur. "What's this?" She said as she spotted a small roll of paper tied to the collar of the cat. Taking it off she unrolled the parchment and found it to be a note from her mother.

Dear Kagome,

Souta and I are taking Grandpa to priest convention

in the states. I have left money and ramen in the pantry

in case you came home. Do not worry about Buyo, I have arranged

for him to be fed and taken care of for the week. Your Aunt

Nana is coming to stay at the shrine and she said that she has a few

gifts for you from your father's side of the family. Take care

and be good.

Love Always,

Mom

P.S. If you're wondering about the note being on the collar, Souta

said he was putting it there to see if you would find it.

Smiling at the note, Kagome put it in her pocket and walked upstairs to her room. At the age of 15 her bedroom was covered from the floor to the ceiling in pink and white. As the years passed she grew out of the silly pink and white colors and into colors that contrasted yet suited her personality. Opening the door, her gaze fell upon the silver, red, and black scenery that now covered her bedroom. The walls were painted silver with black and red swirls elegantly throughout the room. The ceiling was black with a silver crescent moon and red clouds circling around it. Her floor had a fluffy black carpet that felt like the softest feathers when you walked into the room.

Noting the furniture that laid throughout the room, Kagome set Buyo down the black and silver bed and walked over to her oak desk that was stained black. A photograph of a young girl of 5 years with a man that held her high in the air. Sighing, Kagome picked up the photo and creased the face of the man lightly.

"Dad," Kagome whispered, "I miss you. Where did you go?" It has been roughly 15 years since her father disappeared. He had been called out late one night after her 5th birthday by a friend of his. Mom didn't think anything of it, this kind of thing has happened before many times. Dad usually stayed away for about a week or two before he came home with gifts in hand. Only this time, he never came back. Mom cried for weeks on end and seemed lost to us. Grandpa took care of me and a baby Souta during this time frame. Eventually she came back to her old self, but I could tell that some of her spark was gone.

"What do you think, Buyo?" Kagome asked the fat tabby cat, "Do you think that my dream will come true one day?" Buyo looked at her with a tired lazy look and meowed. Smiling, she set the picture down and took off the black backpack that replaced her ugly yellow one a year ago. The poor yellow monster finally gave out as she had made a trip down the well.

Kagome took out a list and read through the check list one more time. "Okay, I need some more ramen, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, candy for Shippo, catnip for Kirara, a knife sharpener for Sango, and soda for Miroku." she said to herself, "Also, a doll for Rin, sugar cubes for Ah and Un, a book for Jaken on how to keep kids entertained, and that old sword in the shed for Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru and his pack recently joined in our search for Naraku. My guess is that he realized that Naraku shows his face more around our group then anywhere else. Unlike Inuyasha though, Sesshomaru has been civil and mature. It's so nice to have an intelligent conversation with someone that actually listens to me when I explain several theories on how the Earth was created.

"Kagome! Are you here?" Yelled a voice from downstairs. "I've got presen-AHH!" A huge crash was heard from the front hallway. Running down the stairs, Kagome found a woman rubbing her arise as she got up from the floor. "He he, sorry about that, I didn't see Buyo down on the ground."

"That's okay, Aunt Nana, you couldn't see him with all those packages covering your face." Kagome replied as she started to pick up all the brown packaged boxes on the floor. Laughing, Nana helped Kagome pick up the parcels. After the boxes were put in the living room, Kagome and Nana headed off to the kitchen and started to fix lunch. Kagome chopped and whisked while Nana stir-fried the rice. Omurice was a traditional lunch the two fixed when ever they visited each other.

"So, Kagome, how was your latest adventure in the past?" Nana found out about Kagome's little adventures when she witnessed her jump down the well and disappear. She had just about hyperventilated until Kagome's mother, Nala, explained all about the time-traveling well. "Anything new happening in our past?"

"Nothing much, but Sesshomaru did join our pack"

"Really? Didn't you say he was a cold-hearted bastard that has an icicle shoved up his ass?"

"I might have said that once before. But he's different now. Rin has changed him a lot."

"Ah, well let's eats our omurice and then get to the gifts." Smiling, Kagome plated the omurice on two plates and headed towards the kitchen table.

"Hey Inuyasha? When is mom coming back again?" Shippo asked, his bright gleaming emerald eyes watching the hanyou's twitching dog ears. Inuyasha glared at the poor kitsune and clenched his fists.

"For the umpteenth time, Shippo," Inuyasha growled, "I. DON'T. KNOW!"

"Geez, no need to get all bent out of shape." Shippo sighed, "We all know you miss her, so why don't you go get her like you always do." Inuyasha jumped up and chased Shippo around the small camp fire, cussing and threatening with every bit of marrow in his body. A strong yet sutle hit to the hard-headed demon knocked him straight into the ground.

"What the hell was that for, Miroku!" Inuyasha yelled, his face full of dirt and grass stains. Miroku calmly sighed and leaned his staff against himself once again. His violet-purple eyes calculating everything he will say...most of the time.

"Inuyasha, have you ever thought that abusing a child will have its mother come after you to get revenge for harming their pup or kit?" Inuyasha just 'feh'ed like usual and jumped into a tree, away from the monk and kitsune. Sango was off to her village to repair her weapon and Sesshomaru's pack was camped elsewhere till Kagome returned.

'This is going to be one long night.' Miroku thought as he watched the hanyou and kit go at it again.

Kagome and Nana retired to the living room. The brown packages sat on the coffe table just waiting to be opened. There was a long rectangular one, two small ones, one felt like clothing when she picked it up earlier, another had holes in the sides of the box, and lastly, a scroll with a clear looking seal pressed onto it.

"Can't keep your eyes off of them, can you?" Nana laughed, "I can't blame you, I would have done the same thing if I was you. Here, let's start at the top, shall we?" Nana handed her the two small packages first. Tearing open the brown paper, Kagome found two velvet jewelry boxes. Inside the first was a beautiful necklace with the Higarashi symbol, a silver sun with crystal clouds swirling around it. Laying the box gently down on the table she opened the next.

The second box contained a black velvet choker with a sapphire crescent moon. On the moon, hanging from the top of the tip was a crystal teardrop. The oddest thing about this crystal though, was that there seemed to be snow moving inside of it.

"I don't understand, what does this mean?" Kagome held up the choker for her aunt to see. Smiling, Nana took the choker and put it around her niece's slender neck.

"That, dear Kagome, is my family's symbol." She explained, "The Higarashi's symbol has always been the sun, just like my family's symbol, your father's, has been the moon. I do not know when the teardrop came into the symbol or the clouds on your mothers, but I do know that you are the pride of both of our families." Nana smiled at her and helped with the Higarashi necklace as well before handing her the next parcel.

Kagome opened the clothing one next and found a lovely kimono. It was baby blue at the top and faded to black as it got closer to the ground. It appeared to be a three layer kimono with a silver obi. The design, however, caught most of her attention. The front had beautiful silver swirls dancing around what seemed to be flowers of some kind. The back held a combination of both family symbols in some kind of thread. It shimmered and shined in a small mysterious glow.

Gasping, Kagome set the kimono down as softly as she could and gently wrapped it back up. She then picked up the long rectangular package. It was heavier then it looked and when she opens it up, a sword was the last thing that had come to her mind.

"That, my dear, has been handed down throughout our family's females for about fifty generations. It always goes to the youngest female in the family when she comes of age. And you are the last female of our blood line."

"But why was this sword handed down to only the females?" Kagome asked as she picked up the dark blue sheathed sword. Nana smiled softly.

"Because, it only allows females to weild it. Every male that has tried nearly lost their hands. One family myth said that it was forged from the flames of hell by a great demon sword smith. His name was lost with time and old age, however."

"Hasn't anyone in the family ever tried to give it away?"

"Yes, few have, but it always came back. How? I don't know."

"O...kay. Does it at least have a name?"

"I don't know that either. No one has ever been able to draw it."

"Weird...well, I guess all that's left is the scroll. Who is it from anyways?" Nana took the scroll from the table and creased it softly. A tender look coming into her eyes as she gazed at the scroll.

"This scroll was written from your father. I was given strict instruction to give it to you before your twenthyith birthday. He had told me that you would need to know what ever was in this before you came of age and to tell you not to speak of what you read until your birthday."

Kagome's eyes widened considerably was she reached out for the scroll her aunt held. Taking a closer look at the seal, she found her father's symbol on it. 'Okay, Kagome. You can do this. Dad wanted you know whatever is written on this scroll.' Taking a deep breath, she tore the seal and opened the parchment.

Kagome,

If you are reading this then your 20th birthday is approaching soon.

Before I explain anything I must tell you; Kagome, you are a demon.

Now don't go freaking out.

The reason why you had to read this instead of me telling you was simple. I had

to go back to my family's original home.

Only a few knows of this place, your grandfather was one of the few.

The reason why I had to go back was because he had died and no one else could rule but me. You're confused right now, ne? Well, I took over the Eastern lands

in the feudal era.

Your mother knows of this as well, but I made her promise

not to tell you. Even if you somehow traveled back to past through the old well

like me. Kagome, if you have traveled through the well already, I want

you to seek me out in the past. I miss my little star catcher. If you have any trouble finding me, give the attached letter to a demon called Lord Sesshomaru. He

will help you without asking for details.

By now, you should have received a kimono, sword, and the necklaces with mine and your mother's clan symbols. Please wear those when you go back to the past. Your

Aunt Nana will want to know everything, and it's okay to tell her about this. I love you, Kagome. I hope to see

you soon.

Love Always,

Daddy

Kagome set the scroll down in shock. She was demon! And not just that, but her father was still alive! 'I've been traveling to the past all this time and yet I didn't even know that he was so close!' She stood up abruptly and grabbed the kimono and sword.

"I'm sorry Aunt Nana, but I have to cut our visit short." Kagome exclaimed as she shot upstairs. Nana nodded her head slightly, knowing where her niece was about to go. "Well," Nana said as she stretched, "I better get to feeding Buyo; Lord knows that cat will start to bother me soon if I don't get to it."

Upstairs, Kagome slipped on the layered kimono and tied the obi with practiced ease. 'I'm glad mom taught me how to do this years ago,' she thought as she secured the sword at her waist. 'Crap! I still have to refill the backpack!' Looking around the room, Kagome discovered her black bag gone.

"Meow"

"Buyo?" Kagome looked at the old fat cat that had Kirara's catnip in his mouth. Gasping, she quickly leaped for the fatso, but he ran out the door and down the stairs.

"Aunt Nana!" Kagome yelled as she raced down the steps two at a time, "Have you seen Buyo?" Nana pointed towards the well shed and went back to fixing Buyo's dinner. Kagome yelled out a thanks and ran to the shed.

"Meow"

Checking behind the well, Kagome found her fully restocked bag and one fat cat. "I don't even wanna know." she mumbled as she grabbed the bag and leapt down the well, a familiar blue light surrounded her.

Soon her feet touched the ground once again and she began her journey up the side of the well, backpack in tow. 'What the hell was packed in here?' Kagome thought as she struggled with the bag. 'I can't make it up there with all this weighting me down.' Suddenly, something white and soft lifted her up and out of the well.

Looking around, Kagome saw nothing but white fluffiness in her view. 'What the fuck!' Pushing at the fluff, she caught sight of the clearing but not the being that the fluff belonged to. 'Okay...weird...' Kagome stood up and pushed the fluff off of her being and walked away.

'Where the heck did that thing come from?' she thought, 'sure it was comfortable, but who knows where it's been.' She started to walk down the usual path to the village when something wrapped around her legs. Looking down, she saw the fluff from earlier.

"You're not gonna let go are you?" She asked it with a scowl on her face. As if responding to her question, the fluff wrapped around her waist and shoulder and tighten a little bit. "I'll take that as a no then." Sighing, she walked off to the village and into her pack's hut.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Kagome questioned as she walked in and sat down. Everyone looked at her in silence until one rude hanyou spoke up.

"Kagome, what the HELL is that!"

This is the end of chapter one and the end of my fingers. I feel as though I've been typing all day long and then some. So? What did you think? Yes I know that I haven't finished the other KagomexSesshomaru stories yet but this just popped into my head. Besides, if you blame anyone, blame the writer's block. It loves to bother people and needs to be shot. So here's the deal, whoever shoots my writer's block gets a free cookie!

Mass of people: So?

Did I mention that the cookie was the size of Sesshomaru's ego and pride?

(People start to load their shot guns and rifles)

Thanks for reading, and remember, cute pink bunnies are evil and they try to take over our world!
