Summary: Kagome returned to her time to get away from InuYasha and to take a test. She meets a new upperclassman student at her school and he seemed very familiar to her. He strikes her up a deal and she accepts, but what is his plan with her and why is he the reincarnation of SesshoMaru? While she was in the past, she also developed somewhat a relationship with SesshoMaru himself and is very confused of whom to choose, one soul but two different eras.

The blue light washes over her for a moment and her feet finally touched ground. Looking up, she found herself in her time and huffed. “Baka InuYasha.” She muttered under her breath, it was nothing new, they always fight every time she tries to leave for her time.

Kagome is now sixteen years old, now a junior in her high school; even she wondered how she manages to pass the previous year with hopping between two eras. It was not easy juggling homework, fighting youkai and bantering with a dog hanyou. She had to return now since she has a test at school and she had to see to every test if she wanted to pass high school. She figured she would worry about getting into college later rather than now.

InuYasha had objected to her returning to her time, wanting to go out and search for more jewel shards. Taking the bauble in her hand, she gave it a look. It was nearly complete. She had not yet told him that Naraku has the last of them while Kohaku and Kouga has the other three. Since her Miko had grown stronger in the past year, far exceeding than Kikyou’s ability, she was able to sense them farther and she found none others to search for. It was not like InuYasha would listen to her, he was just itching to fight at every chance he gets, to prove himself.

Climbing out of the well, she trudged herself into her house. Her mother had gone out grocery shopping and her brother was at a friend’s house and her grandfather was at another shrine, swapping tales with other priests. She figured she has time to take a bath, get some head start on her homework before dinner.

The next day, Kagome ran down her shrine steps, calling back to her mother, “I’m going to school. See you later.” She reached the bottom of the steps and met with her three friends, Eri, Ayumi and Yuka. They squealed as they saw her and gathered around her.

“Kagome, you are feeling better, are you?” Eri asked, poking Kagome’s arm.

Yuka rolled her eyes, “That two-timing boyfriend of yours didn’t bother you so much this time around?”

Ayumi swatted her two friends and turned to Kagome, “Don’t listen to them, here are your notes. Eri’s been plotting to make a date for you and Hojo this weekend. I am sure you don’t want to.”

Eri gasped at Ayumi and stood with hands on her hips, “Excuse me! Hojo wanted to go out with her as soon she gets better.”

Ayumi laughed at Eri, taking Kagome’s arm, dragging her to school. “Now, we got test today, did you study the last notes I gave you?” She saw Kagome nod, “Good. It’s going to be a killer.” Yuka and Eri ran to catch up with them. “But honestly, did you break it off with InuYasha?” She finally asked.

Kagome sighed as she followed her friends’ pace. “I broke it off with him a month ago. He couldn’t decide between me and her, so I told him I am not going to stand by anymore and wait for him to actually choose, so I broke it off with him. He was upset, but we are friends now, though he had been a bit cranky lately.”

“Good, I can’t stand seeing you mope after him.” Ayumi quipped and they reached the gate of their school. The bell rang the warning bell and they all broke into run to get into the building before the next bell. She had always been the most sensible friend of the three of them, which is why Kagome felt more comfortable around her. Ayumi never questioned her for her suspicious lifestyle.

Kagome reached her locker and slipped her shoes off to replace with slippers. As she tried to stand up from slipping her slippers on, her head collided with someone’s head. “Ouch!” She dropped her books to grab hold of her throbbing head. She looked up and swallowed, “Oh, sorry.”

The boy rubbed his chin. He was tall, slender with shoulder length hair cut, yet it was not what surprised her. It was because he had silver hair and soft amber eyes, which was unusual for a Japanese boy. His face was set in seriousness. He looked strikingly familiar.

He bends down along with her, helping her to gather her books. She stood up, carefully to not bump him again, “Thanks. I gotta go. Nice to meet you.” She turned and quickly sprinted down the hall to catch up with her friends.

He shook his head and saw that she had forgotten a book. He picked it up and found it was a journal. He knew he should not read it but couldn’t help it, since it was lying open on the floor and he had caught few words that piped his curiosity. He took the book and went to his class.

The whole morning, during classes, she wondered about the new student, she had never seen him before in her school. He appeared familiar, his hair and eyes were much like InuYasha and SesshoMaru, yet it he was human. She figured he was one of the upperclassman, a new transfer student. She wondered why her friends had not told her about him, since they love to gossip about anything new and from the look of him, he was hot to boot.

Lunch rolled around quickly enough for her, she grabbed her bento box and joined with her friends outside in the field among the other students to eat lunch. It was a nice day and eating outside was in order.

Kagome plopped herself down next to Ayumi, feeling much safer with her than the other two. “The test was hard, I think I did okay on it.”

Eri whined, “I did horrible, I couldn’t even figure out half of the questions.”

“Me too!” Yuka joined in the whine feast.

Kagome rolled her eyes and opened her bento box. “All right. Who’s the new guy.” She gestured with her chopstick across the field to where the new guy was walking through, unintentionally parting the student body like Red Sea.

“Oh, yeah.” Ayumi murmured, “That’s Nishimaru Seisho. He transferred in the day after you left sick couple weeks ago. You don’t want to bother with him, he is stuck-up and cold.”

Yuka turned her head to watch him, nodding her head, “yeah. The first day, he practically had hordes of girls after him. He’s really hot… but he told them all off with rude words. Then the guys came after him, upset that he had insulted their girlfriends. He knocked couple of them out and told them to back off and leave him alone. Ever since, no one bothers him. Such a pity, he’s really hot but a social reject.” She munched into her rice ball.

Eri sighed, “Didn’t hurt to look at him.” She turned back to Kagome and grinned, “At least you’re lucky to have the hottest boyfriend in school.”

Kagome dropped her chopstick in her box and covered her face with her hands. “Eri, I am not interested with Hojo. Why don’t you date him?” But Eri didn’t hear her question as she turned to watch Seisho. Kagome looked up to Eri’s squeal and saw that the new student was walking over to where they are sitting.

Seisho approached Kagome, ignoring the other three girls. He noted that Kagome didn’t have the same love struck look on her face like any other girls and sighed in relief inwardly; this girl was different from the rest. He bowed and softly asked, “Join me? I wish to talk to you.” He gestured to another tree. He saw Kagome nodding and stood up. He turned and walked over to the tree and sat down.

Kagome was stuck with a déjà vu, it was almost like having SesshoMaru talking to her and the way he walked was very similar, with headstrong pride and even grace. Plopping herself once again on the ground, she tilted her head, studying his profile, he had the same feature as SesshoMaru and wondered if he was actually his incarnation, then again, if he was, SesshoMaru must had died sometime in the past and it was hard to grasp the concept. She even went to extent to feel his aura but couldn’t grasp, it was either the guy was very good at hiding his aura or he had none at all. Human’s aura was often weak and it takes a little while to detect them.

“My name is Nishimaru Seisho. You dropped your book this morning.” He handed her a colorful notebook.

Kagome gasped as she recognized her journal and grasped it from his hand, clutching the book to her chest. “Oh, my journal.” She looked up and saw his tiny quirk. “You read it, didn’t you?”

Seisho gave a nonchalant shrug, “Only some, Kagome.”

She blinked and realized she had not introduced herself. “Oh, you already know my name.” He gestured to the book. “Right.” Blushing, she looked away.

“Some, I said. I read enough to figure your boyfriend is an idiot. This InuYasha, he’s not worth your time.”

She nodded, “I know, I broke it off with him a while ago. We’re still friends, nothing more.”

He smirked as he leaned forward, resting on his knees. “So, I suppose, you are available to date anyone?”

Kagome looked up to him, blinking as she was confused to his comment. “What?”

“I guess I put it in wrong perspective. Are you available for a date this Friday night?”

She gasped softly and blushed horribly; he was different than what her friends had said to be. “Oh… uhm. You’re serious?”

He nodded and leaned back to the tree. “Usually, girls will jump at the chance. But I don’t want any of them. You seem to be the only rational girl in the entire school.”

Kagome frowned, “What’s your agenda with me? Usually, guys want to date a girl to get into her pants.” She retorted.

He laughed, surprising her. She watched with awe as he laughed, realizing, it was probably what SesshoMaru would had looked and sounded like if he ever laughed. “Not interested like that. I simply need a companion, a friend. Sometime it’s rather dull here. Let’s say, if you date me, I will be giving you a hand up in keeping the other boys away from you, including this InuYasha and you help me with a subject that I am worse with.”

Kagome pursed her lips, it had sounded like a fair trade, except she wasn’t in school enough to help him with a subject, let alone any. “But, I am sick often that I am nearly failing in every subject.”

“Even in reading? I can’t seem to keep myself interested in any books to save my grade.” He mentioned.

Kagome gave a smile, “Well, that’s the only subject that I seem to be passing fairly well. Okay. That’s a deal.” She handed her hand out and he grasped his large hand over her in a shake, sealing the deal. She smiled at him and resumed eating her lunch.

I wrote this a long time ago and I don’t remember where I am going with this story. I didn’t start to develop a habit of writing outline for a story idea until late last year, so this story was obviously from way before that, what I just had presented to you was all I have on this idea.

I believe I was inspired by a story; ‘Chasing Methuselah’ a Miroku/Kagome story where she met reincarnated Miroku in her time. But this story arch is different; Seisho has a different goal and an intention for Kagome relating to the SesshoMaru in the past. I can’t remember exactly how the story will go. If I am to continue this, I’ll develop a story line that is interesting, obviously for those who are familiar with my writing.
