Hi everyone, Vira here! This is my first Inuyasha fic. I just got done writing my Kenshin fanfic, so here I am. A few things before we get started:

1) Nope! Don't own Inuyasha! *cries*

2) This fic will probably have some lemons. Unfortunately, ff.net does not allow lemon stories anymore. But as most of my other readers know, I simply put the unedited version on my website. There won't be any lemons for a little bit though. But when there are, I'll tell you, and you guys can just go to my website in my profile to read it (if you want). ^__^

3) If any of you readers are confused about ANYTHING, please don't hesitate to ask. I won't lash out at you or anything, hehehe.

That's about all! Story time! ^^ Enjoy:

~~~***~~~

It seemed like an ordinary day. No really, it had. But that's not really saying much, considering what I go through almost every moment of the week. On a regular basis, I travel through time into feudal Japan. My transporter? It's in my well. My. Well. That's what I use…seriously!

…But I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I? Let's start at the beginning of my story: We were wandering though the forests, looking for shards of the Shikon jewel, right? The usual. Inuyasha and I happened to be on bad terms from some stupid argument or another that day. Anyways, I was leading everyone in the direction I sensed the fragments like normal. As it turned out, Inuyasha's full-demon brother, Sesshoumaru, was the current owner of such fragments. As Jaken had explained to us, "Lord Sesshoumaru had to slay five huge demons to find these! That lazy half-demon did NOTHING!" Of course, Inuyasha had become enraged over this remark, and, naturally, the two brothers began to battle. I certainly wasn't surprised—the two couldn't SEE each other without bickering!

The rest pretty much happened in a blur. Inuyasha prepared to use the wind scar. At this point, I suspected something—Sesshoumaru knew what power the wind scar had, yet he still chose to fight? It didn't make sense, but like a fool, I said nothing to Inuyasha about this…maybe if I wasn't so mad at him, I would have. As he began to strike with the wind scar, I felt something grab me by the waist. I looked down, and gasped. It was a CLAW! My eyes traveled to the source—Sesshoumaru. In all likelihood he had slain some demon and took its stretchable arm for his own. I thought this all in milliseconds as the arm began to quickly reel me in. Soon I was face-to-face with him.

"Let's see how my brother likes THIS." He whispered to me. I looked around just in time to see Inuyasha's wind scar attack rain down. I gasped. He was using me as a shield!

The last thing I heard was Inuyasha's anguished cry of my name, and then I lost all feeling.

~~~***~~~

I awoke.

My eyes were sleepy, as if I had just come from a long nap. But that couldn't be, because I remembered being hit with Inuyasha's attack, falling against Sesshoumaru's chest (as much as I despised the thought), and swimming in an endless black void. I remembered that, and where I was at the time. But…this place…

I looked down. Apparently I had been sleeping in a bed. But not just any bed—this one was the grandest I had ever seen. The blankets were exquisitely woven, and the sheets were made of a very expensive-looking silk. My eyes traveled down and widened in surprise. The room I was in…a bedroom? It seemed to stretch for miles. Various portraits were hung on the walls, and to the left was a gigantic pair of windows. Finally, I looked down…and gave a short shout. My clothes…were gone? I was naked!?

"Where AM I!?" This place was not familiar at all. Before I could do anything more, I froze suddenly, as I felt something next to me in the bed stir.

Okay, I was officially freaked out.

Slowly, I turned to look at whoever it was. The person had long white hair…Inuyasha? Suddenly, the person gasped, and quickly sat up, looking at me.

"YOU!" We both cried at the same time. It was Sesshoumaru!! And he was…he was…naked as well! By a natural reaction we both averted our eyes. We had attempted to quickly get out of the bed we had apparently shared together, but because we were in such confusion, we got ourselves tangled in the many blankets. Somehow—SOMEHOW—I had pulled on one of the blankets that he was attached to, and he kinda…well…ended up on top of me. We looked at each other's eyes, very close.

Awkward, huh?

It lasted for a moment only, because in a frustrated growl Sesshoumaru leapt away from me. He looked at me with as much shock as I had felt. We were both speechless. Quickly, Sesshoumaru grabbed a blanket in order to cover himself, but he did this a second too slow, for I accidentally looked and saw that during our entanglement against one another, he had become involuntarily aroused. He scowled and turned his back to me.

"What magic is this?" Sesshoumaru said aloud. The question appeared to be for no one in particular, but I knew it was directed towards me. The problem was, I didn't know, either.

"HUMAN!" Was he talking to ME!? "What have you done!? Where did you take us!?"

"HEY, I don't appreciate being called that, okay!? I HAVE a name you know, it's Kagome." Can you blame me for having one too many feathers ruffled? I mean, here's this guy that tries to kill my friends whenever he has the chance, and now I wake up somewhere (naked!) in bed with him, and he addresses me by the word 'human'! "And I don't know WHY you're looking at ME, I had nothing to do with this. Do you think I WANT to wake up in a strange bed next to you?"

Uh oh. Was that last part a mistake? He turned to look at me for second angrily, then quickly turned back. "…Kagome, then." He said after a few moments of silence. "Where are we, and how did we get here?"

"…I don't know." I said quietly, with a tone of despair.

Before we could talk any further, there was a knock at the door. "I'm sorry if I have awoken you, your Highnesses." A voice said on the other side. "However, your breakfast is waiting."

~~~***~~~

We sat together on the bed in silence.

"…Wha…What did he just…call us?" I stuttered.

In a blur, Sesshoumaru leapt away and looked out the windows. "…We're in a castle." He said flatly. "From our perspective you can see directly into the gardens, which means this is the Royal Bedroom." He looked casually at me. "…Which means we must be the King and Queen of this place."

I gasped. "You mean…you mean, we're MARRIED!?"

He chuckled. "It appears so."

"But…but how is this possible?" Suddenly, I noticed something about him that I had overlooked earlier. "Hey, Sesshoumaru, why is your arm…er, why is it there? What happened?"

He looked at it. "Yes, I noticed it earlier. Apparently my arm has grown back. I cannot explain why."

Okay, this was TOO weird. Somehow, some way, Sesshoumaru and I ended up as the King and Queen of some castle, and his arm magically reappeared? What the heck was going on? "Well," I said, "we might as well get ready and eat whatever's for breakfast. Maybe we can figure something out…"

He nodded in agreement. Sesshoumaru walked over to a nearby closet and began to dig inside. "Ridiculous-looking garments, all of them." He mumbled. Finally, he pulled out a navy-blue robe with light-blue patterns on it. He moved to what was apparently the bathroom to try it on. I nodded slowly and rose to try on my outfit. Admittedly, my choice of clothes I had available were of equal bad taste. After a while of deciding between bad, bad, and worse, I chose a velvety-red robe with gold threading. I went behind the massive bed and tried it on. It was just a little too tight around the waist. Were Queens supposed to wear everything too tight or something? After I was done, I stepped out and hurried outside. In the hallway, a woman whom I supposed was a servant of some sort greeted me. She looked at me with happiness.

"Good morning, Lady Kagome!"

I looked around, then back at her. "W-Who, me?"

She laughed. "Who else around here is named Lady Kagome?"

I sighed, and nodded slowly.

She looked back at the door I came from. "My lady, where is His Highness? Is he still getting ready?"

I looked at her. "Er…you mean Sesshoumaru, right? I think he'll be out soon."

The servant looked around the hallway, then moved closer to me and whispered, "So…? Do you think this time might be the one, my Lady?"

What? I stared back at her. "I'm not sure…I follow…?"

She gave me a confused look. "What I mean is…Lord Sesshoumaru and my Lady have been trying to have a son for years. Do you think this night might have been the one for you?"

My eyes widened. Is THAT why when I woke up in that bed both of us were without clothes!? But…but we didn't DO anything, right? At least, I didn't remember anything (thank goodness). I mean, I would KNOW if we did something like that, right? The servant must've took my look of disgust for anger, because she said quickly, "I'm sorry, my Lady. It was not my place to ask." She hurried away. At that moment, Sesshoumaru appeared from the room.

I looked at him and struggled not to mutter a chuckle. His clothes did not suit him at all. Sesshoumaru looked like an entire different person. He scowled at me, for I must've been staring at him for some time now. "…What?"

"Nothing—nothing!" I replied quickly.

"…I'm going to eat the breakfast the man mentioned earlier." He said with no emotion. He began to walk away, then looked back at me. "And make no mistake, human. I have no intention of playing the role of your husband while we're here." And with those words, he went down the hallway.

I fumed. Who did he think he WAS!? And…and WHEN did he get the impression that I WANTED to be his wife, anyways? "I didn't choose this to happen!" I said aloud. That egoistic jerk! Why couldn't he understand that unless we worked together as a team, we would never get out of here? It was probably his fault we were in this mess, anyways! I sighed, and moved down the hallway slowly with sadness.

"MOMMY!!" A small voice cried out and latched onto my leg. This caught me by surprise. I looked down and saw a young girl holding onto me. "Mommy, you're awake!" She cried gleefully.

What the heck!? Was I this child's mother? "Er…er…" I stuttered in confusion. Who was this? She didn't look anything like me, at least. "Um…hi there."

She grabbed my hand and pulled me somewhere. "C'mon Mommy! You need to have breakfast, right?"

Dazed, I nodded, and she pulled me into a gigantic dining room. The table had an array of food, filled with many plates. Sesshoumaru looked at her with astonishment. "Rin…is that you?"

She laughed playfully. "You're funny, Daddy! Of course it's me!"

I overheard him muttering "Why does she call me that?" He turned to her and said, "Don't you have something to do? Go play with the other children so I can actually get around to eating…"

She smiled and nodded. Rin leapt from her place and went away. I stood there, dumbstruck. Sesshoumaru sensed my thoughts and said without looking at me, "Do not look so confused. She has the human scent, but no demon in her. She does not smell like you, either. Rin is not a child of either of us in this world." He paused to take a bite of toast. "…By blood, at least." He added.

Adoption, I concluded silently. I wondered what the exact circumstances were. In the end, I decided it didn't matter, only the knowledge that Sesshoumaru and I did not share any children by blood here. I sighed and sat down to eat. It was only until after I put a forkful of food into my mouth that I realized just how hungry I really was.

After the breakfast, with the ever-awkward silence of me on one end and Sesshoumaru on the other, I left the table and went to the bedroom I had started out in. No one could blame me for being in such a depressing mood, right? Sighing, I moved from the door slowly to the balcony outside the window. After a few moments of looking down to the (admittedly) beautiful gardens, I thought about everything that happened the previous day.

~~~***~~~

"Hi Kagome!" I turned around and waved half-heartedly to some friends who were passing by. School had just let out, and I was pretty tired. The day was mainly spent with me trying to hopelessly catch up in my studies. Wearily, I dragged myself home.

Grandpa greeted me at the door. "Well look who's home! Miss Kagome!"

I gave a weak smile. "Hi Grandpa."

He looked at me. "Kagome, what's wrong?"

"Oh…you know. School." I collapsed onto a nearby chair.

"Ahh…" He nodded in comprehension. "Will a trip to the feudal era make you feel any better?"

I laughed a little. You see what my life is like? "I don't know Grandpa…maybe."

"Well, stay for supper, hmm? I think we're having pasta."

I smiled. "Sure." From that point on, I worked endlessly on all my make-up homework, even through dinner. Finally, I gave up when I got to a particularly hard math problem. I remembered crawling up to bed and going to sleep…

~~~***~~~

Suddenly, I snapped out of the past and noticed a presence in the room. "Mommy, can we go walk around the castle for a bit?" I turned and saw Rin standing there.

I smiled. The fact that someone was calling me 'Mommy' now still greatly freaked me out, but I suppose I would just have to deal with it for now. "Okay, er…Rin. We can go for a walk if you want I guess."

She cried gleefully and took my hand. She was, I admitted, starting to grow on me.

Unfortunately, when the two of us walked out into the hallway, we were met by Sesshoumaru. He stared at our hands together, and then looked at me. "…Why is she with you?"

I stiffened. "We're going to go for a walk, Sesshoumaru. Around the castle. If you would like to join us-"

"-I'd rather not." He said coldly.

"FINE." I said with an equal amount of ice.

Rin sniffled a little. "Mommy and Daddy aren't fighting, are they?"

I gave her a smile and a reassuring pat, to which Sesshoumaru scowled at. I ignored him and was about to turn away with Rin, when a man approached me.

"My Lady!" He wheezed, out of breath. "Finally, I have found you! Why aren't you at your daily archery practice?" He turned to Sesshoumaru with equal surprise. "And why are you here, my Lord? You're supposed to be at your negotiation meeting with the other lands!"

Sesshoumaru looked at him angrily. "Can't you SEE my family and I are trying to go on a walk?"

Whoa.

The man quickly bowed. "Apologies, my Lord. I will make the…cancellations." He walked away in a hurry.

I stared at him. "How…unexpected of you."

He growled quietly. "Just don't get the-"

"-Wrong idea, human." I mimicked him. "I know, I know. Let's just go on the walk already, okay?"

He frowned, but said nothing. The three of us turned and walked away. I smiled to myself, thinking silently that Sesshoumaru might not be as bad as he appeared to some people.

Hehe, don't worry; he'll warm up later on. R&R please! Hope you all liked it, and I am most definitely NOT done. I always have a policy that I won't update unless I have enough reviews. That way I know you guys want more! ^__^ See ya later! (hopefully)
