The Grey Scale by Lady Kirara

Kagome huffed and sat down with arms crossed. Freeing her toes from their burden she had a much easier time walking through the shifting sand. She loved the beach; from the salty scent in the air to the waves as they broke across the surface. The one thing she most certainly did not enjoy was the sand, especially when she was unexpectedly traveling on it.

Her companion was silent next to her, in no rush to continue their walk. Sesshoumaru still hadn't told her where they were going, but she didn't complain. The fact that he didn't run off the first time he saw her in this era spoke volumes. Come to think of it, Sesshoumaru was the one who sought me out. If Jaken had never told him where I was I would have never known.

“Sesshoumaru, why did you come visit me at work that first day?”

He spared her a solemn glace but did not answer her question. Kagome shrugged her shoulders and hummed a tune to herself. Maybe he doesn't know why he did it himself.

“It will be nightfall soon. We should go.”

Brushing the sand from her clothes she followed him. Stealing a glance, she was amazed to find how much he still hadn't changed over the years. He's always so calm. It's like nothing can shake him. Shocked at the turn of events her mind was taking she giggled. Sesshoumaru may have found me, but I willingly followed him too. “Oh!”

When he looked her way she smiled meekly. Could it really be that simple? Could our reasoning's really be that similar…?

“We're here.” Sesshoumaru's calm voice brought her out of her reverie.

Kagome felt the shift in the air and gasped. It brushed against her skin and she shivered. Youkai.

…So familiar.
