Strangers No More by Dragonlady80906

Kagome walked into the classroom. 'No one is here, why I don't know. I'm usually the last one to class. I have a strange feeling about today.'

Unknowingly, another person followed her in and took his seat. He watched her silently as she proceeded to hum and do her daily chores for class. She had so much time now that she was back in her own era that all this seemed foreign to her. She was humming a tune she heard on the radio this morning, but she didn't know anything about the singer. She sighed, "I use to know everything about fashion, style, trends, and all the latest fads, but now... She sighed again, "I guess I'll just have to learn it all over again."

She turned around and went to the flowerpot to change them out, then realized that she didn't have any flowers to change them out with. She groaned.

"Every time you groan, you get half a year older."

She spun around so fast that she almost fell, but was caught by two strong hands. She looked up into the most beautiful amber eyes she had ever seen. 'Where have I seen those eyes?'

The man stood her up and she blushed and stammered out the most pitiful excuse she had ever heard, but he just smiled sweetly making her almost melt. The door opened and they broke apart.

Three girls walked in and ran over to Kagome, "The hospital let you out? I thought that they said that you would be there all week; your diabetes had gotten so bad. You really should take your medicine more! We were so worried about you, right girls?" One of the others who walked in replied, "Yeah!"

'There goes my chance" she thought looking over at the new student. He was such a hunk. The girls continued, "I also hope that new greenish infection went away too." "Yeah, and the swelling on your arm."

"And the second bout of rheumatism that you got from recovering from the flu."

Kagome sweat-dropped. 'Grandpa, why can't you tell people that I go to see my father instead, or at least something a little less unattractive?'

She looked over at the new guy "Who is he? When did he get here?" The girls looked where she was looking. "Oh, him?" Naoko pointed at the boy, "He just arrived yesterday. He doesn't talk to anyone and spends what time he can get alone. He never told anyone his name, not even the teacher. He looks like he is twenty, but he's only 17. Hunky, isn't he?"

Kagome nodded. Something about him reminded her of something, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. Just as she thought it she said aloud, "His voice is like honey too; it suits him" Her friends looked at her and gasped.

"You've heard him speak? No way! He hasn't spoken to anyone else. All the other girls try to get him to speak, but he hasn't responded! You're like the luckiest girl here, Kagome! Why do all the guys want you so much? I wish I had that kind of luck with the men."

Kagome was about to answer, but the rest of the class was coming in, so she kept it to herself. As the class settled down and the teacher was starting class, Kagome looked at the new student. His eyes then meet hers and she blushed, he smiled at her again and she turned a darker shade of red.

'I knew that she wouldn't recognized me, we never did talk too much back then, but I know she senses something. She knows she knows me, but the fun is that she can't think of it. This is more fun than I thought." She met his eyes and he smiled. Seeing her blush had it's own rewards. He was getting hard, fast; and loving it. She always had this effect on him. He longed for the havoc he knew she could wreak on him. He watched her through the rest of class thinking of how he wanted to approach her.

The bell rung and lunch began. The class dispersed and the girls went out to the courtyard and sat under a sakura tree. They were having fun gossiping and catching up on what Kagome missed. The new guy walked up behind them and sat down on the pond edge, listening to their conversation.

Naoko was saying, "...and then Kim went and tripped over the edge of her dress. She was so funny falling that even her date was laughing." They laughed as Kim blushed all the way up her hairline. Kim turned around saw the new guy and poked Kagome, then pointed at him. Kagome turned to see who was there and came face to face with him. She jumped back and stifled a screech while he just smirked. She looked at him and something told her to imagine lines on his cheeks, something clicked.

"Sesshoumaru?" She breathed. His smiled grew into a very noticeable grin.

"Hi to you too, Kagome." He chuckled. Kagome paled in shock for a moment and then said "Sesshoumaru, what are you doing here? What is going on? Is anyone else here?" She searched around for anyone else she knew. She was certain she was awake and that she was in her own era, so what was he doing here? She now understood why he was familiar and why she couldn't place him; it was Sesshoumaru. She never did talk to him much back in the feudal era.

He placed a finger over her mouth to silence her, though he wanted to hear her luscious voice speak his name again and again. "I live here. This is my time. Why are you here?"

She looked at him questioningly, "Your era? This is my era. I live in this time. Did you actually live this long?"

"I assume that you lived as long as me, but that doesn't make sense, your human."

'Now this conversation is getting weird' Kagome's friends thought. The other girls were watching intently. They were so surprised to know that Kagome knew him, but the again she was always on top of that stuff.

"I haven't lived for five hundred years. I go through the well at my family's shrine and it happens to send me back to Feudal Japan, it's the Bone Eater's well. I'm only seventeen. So, what's everyone else's story? What happened to them?" Kagome practically whispered, quiet seriously.

"Well... Rin grew up and married that Kohaku boy, the slayer, and they had three healthy, happy children. Rin joined in the boy's family profession of demon slaying. They only hunted demons causing trouble though. Their kids followed the same path. They all seemed to love me very much, I was their "grandpa Sessh," "Grandpa Sesshoumaru," and the littlest called me "Grandpa or Grandpa Fluffy."

Kagome giggled, "Fluffy?"

Sesshoumaru smirked, "Yes, Fluffy. Lord Fluffy was something Rin addressed me by that while we lived together. She was my adopted daughter. I grew to love her like my child as she traveled with me. I wished to always protect her. She was an adorable child. She grows on one. Anyway, she died after a demon attacked her by surprise while out with her kids. She only had time to shield them from the cretin. I learned of this and slaughtered the bastard who dared to harm her. I was to late to save her though. Kohaku left the children in my care as he went to bury his beloved. I followed soon after delivering the children in to capable hands; I found it strange that he would do such a thing. He died of the loss soon after; his heart had given up."

"Sango married the perverted monk, Miroku. They also had children, two, a boy and a girl. Thankfully neither turned out like the father. Sango died happily of old age, though it was shortened due to her morning of her family's death and the added death of her brother and Rin. Her grandchildren buried her. They all had lived long lives. The monk died after the death of his wife, but actually died of old age, itself. He lived to a ripe ninety years of age. Surprisingly he never had another woman after the slayer girl."

"Shippou, the young fox demon lives today. If you want to see him, I'll bring you to him after school. He is a strong, wealthy young businessman with the most up-to-date technology at his fingertips. He is a very generous and kind man as well. He wants your memory to be honored and is trying to get a petition for your birthday to be a national holiday. You're actually in the history books. You're known as Lady Higarashi, Healer and Head Priestess of the Western Lands."

"That's the next subject we're going to be studying." Naoko pointed out. Sesshoumaru and Kagome looked at the girls, Kagome paled. They knew her secret now. Or hopefully they thought she was talking in code.

"So all this time we thought you were sick, you were actually going to some other place? Why didn't you tell us, what's the big secret?" Kim cried breathlessly.

"Yeah, but what's this about five hundred years ago? He can't be five hundred; it's not possible. That's impossible, he's only human Kagome." Adria said.

'Oh no, I'm so totally busted.' "Ok, I was lying and I'm sorry. The truth is that I have a well at my shrine known as the Bone Eater's well and it gives me the ability to pass from this time back into the Feudal Era. I've been going there, back and forth, for a long time now. I met Sesshoumaru then, the same one sitting here. He was a lot more reserved back then. He's lived for five hundred years because he's a demon, but not any demon; he's the Demon Lord of the Western Lands. He has a little brother named Inuyasha, the two-timing, bossy, over-protective, nut case you've three have come to know. That's why you never met him. His brother is a half-demon."

The three girls stared at Kagome. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. Demons? Lords? Feudal Era? What next, she's an alien from another planet?

"What are you talking about Kagome? There's no such thing as time travel. Are you sure you're not sick? Sesshoumaru, can you verify any of this?" Kim blurted out.

"Yes, what proof do you need?" He said calmly.

"A blood sample." She replied sternly. "As you wish." He replied as calmly as before.

"Fine" She huffed. She would get down to the bottom of this. The others nodded.

"So Kagome, where were we? Oh yes, the famous troop... Shippo is a very intelligent person and has almost succeeded in putting your birthday as a national holiday. He has sent the bill to the government more times than I care to count." He went on. "Inuyasha settled down with his dead woman, Kikyo, and they lived for several decades afterwards. Of course they had no children. He spent most of the "marriage" they had complaining that he wanted you back. He realized a few years after you left that he had made a grave error in choosing her instead. Least said his marriage wasn't a happy one. He died thirty years later when he was coming to get you from a heart disease he never knew he had."

Kagome whispered "Oh. How sad, I was hoping he would be happy. I'm glad everyone else was. Thank you Sesshoumaru, I appreciate this more than you could ever know. I feel so relieved. I want to see Shippo though. You don't mind taking me to him do you?"

"No at all, my dear, I would be honored." He took her hand and kissed her knuckles ever so gently.

"Thank you" she whispered sweetly with a cute blush. He could be so handsome and gentle that she was in awe. Her thoughts returned to Shippo. 'Shippo...' The little fox demon she adopted as her own son, fighting to make her an honored figure, he was so sweet. 'I must remember to bring his favorite treat and let him know that his efforts are appreciated, even though they are highly unnecessary.' He was the sweetest boy she knew.

"My love?" Sesshoumaru cooed. She was startled back into reality. Love? Who was that? She looked at him and saw he was staring at her with such an intense gase that she automatically knew he was referring to her. Why her though? "Do you remember the last night we spent together?" She knew. The night of Naraku's defeat. The whole gang and his group were celebrating the day.

"Yes. We were at Keade's village celebrating. We had just defeated Naraku and were drinking and such. It was a memorable day for us all. I celebrate that day even now." She said in a reminiscing voice. He looked at her and was thinking 'I remember that day too, but I meant something a little different.'

"I remember that we had a dance that night." He confessed turning to her. She came back to earth with a questioning mind. 'So what's he getting at?'

"So do I. We had both been drinking and we bumped into each other, grabbed a hold, and starting twirling around the dance floor. It was a dance I would never forget, even drunk. You seemed so corrdinated and lithe on your feet, I thought I was dancing in the clouds. You whispered in my ear a lot that night. I never wanted you to let go and I didn't. You held me all night."

"I sure did whisper in your ear a lot. Wasn't drunk you know; I didn't have anything to drink until after you left. Do you remember what I said? I certainly do." He whispered in her ear so softly that only she could hear him. He was getting closer by the minute and was ready to pounce.

She thought for a moment. Then like a flash it all came back to her. "Yes," she said breathlessly. Oh, did she ever. He had confessed a deep and secret longing for her, but at the time that's all it was, a longing. He said he wanted the chance get to know her to see if it was more, but Inuyasha said something to her at the same time and it made her so mad that she just ran out. She had almost forgotten the whole thing, except for the look in his eyes when her told her of his desire. He was sane when he told her all that? Had he really meant every word of it? The school bell rung, it was time to go back to class. She was sure to find out soon...

Author's note: I don't own any of these characters. I didn't know Kagome's friends' names so I just put in some of my own, so please don't be mad. This is my first fan-fiction. It's meant to a romance with lemons, coming soon. Please help me out with comments and suggestions. I will accept flames as well. Both critizism and compliment are both needed to make a good writer. Thank you. Another chapter? Majority rules. Dragonlady80906.
