As Sesshoumaru walked through the hallways of his home in the western lands he still could not believe what had taken place little over a month ago. For the moment no one knew not even his trusted servant Jaken, but soon enough every one would know, how was he suppose to fight for his lands in this state. How he hated what he had become, how he hated them all. He knew his half brother would be here within the next day or so, but he hated the thought of his brother finding out the truth, the truth about the curse that was now his living nightmare. He had believed nothing could touch him, how wrong he had been for the past month he had become someone he did not even know. When his brother found out he would make sure Inuyasha knew he could still kick his ass at any time he chose. He decided he better go and try to lie down what good was it doing walking the halls any way.

I cannot believe he would think I Inuyasha would just come just because he told me to. I am not one of his loyal servants I am his feared enemy.

As Kagome watched her companion jump up, and down as he always did when he got aggravated about something usually something that either her or his half Youkio brother did. This time it was his brother thank god she thought I don’t think I could take hearing him call me a bitch one more time. Why does Susshoumaru want Inuyasha to come to the western lands any way maybe it’s a trap. Maybe he is trying to find a way to get Inuyasha sword the Tetsiaga.

“ Inuyasha what if Sesshoumaru is trying to get the Tetsusiaga from you?”

“ Oh, just let him try we are going to the western lands.”

How typical of Inuyasha sometimes she just wished she had never been pulled into the Bone Eaters well she was so far behind in her school work she had no clue how she was going to catch up with it all. Now instead of finding the shards they where heading toward his half brother home land and more then likely killed by his half brother, but for some reason she was starting to feel a little excited it seemed she always got this feeling ever time she got near Inuyasha Youkia brother. But Kagome would not even allow that thought to finish.

“ Sesshoumaru here I got these for you.”

As Rin handed Sesshoumaru some more of the flowers she had been picking for him since the day he brought her back to live by using the sword his father had given him which was carved from one of his very fangs. The Tenseiga had it’s advantage he thought , but he would never understand why his father would give him the lesser sword the sword of life. When he would give his hayou brother the much more powerful sword the Tetsiaga the sword of death, but now he had more pressing problems then the swords. Night had fallen once more and his eyes had turned back to there usually golden color and his hair had turned back white and his tail was again in it’s place, and the marking of his Youkio birthright where back in place he felt strong once more. How could he have been reduced to so little, but now he had to figure out how to hide it from his brother and his brother wench she would be harder to full she was smarter then his half hayou brother. He knew he did not have long he could smell the human female already her smell was so intriguing but as Kagoma he would not allow the thought to finish as he watched the moon rise he let out a howl of frustration.

As Kagome walked behind Inuyasha she realized her hope for Inuyasha to wake up and to realize she was not Kiko replacement but that was not going to happen. Even after she had seen him kiss Kiko that fateful night in the forest she had still held hope, but now that hope was dashed. Since Sesshourmaur servant had told them only Inuyasha and Kagome where welcome they had came alone on their journey but not once had he tried to get close to her. Why could she not just give up hope on him. All of a sudden, she was brought out of her thoughts.

“ Wench why have you stopped.”

As Kagome face turned red she yelled “ Sit, Sit, Sit.”

“Fef, bitch what was that for.”

But Kagome just walked past him and said in return.

“ Why have you stopped Inuyasha we are almost there?”

Later That Day

“ Sesshoumaru who the hell do you think you are calling me here like I am one of your dame servants!”

“ Brother, you are not good enough to be one of my dame servants.” “ I have called you here for a reason I need your human.”

“ What the hell I am not going to turn Kagome over to you like some animal for you to kill.”

Sesshoumaru had thought about this for a very long time he had finally decided he need a humans help, and since the only one who could seem to be around was Inuyasha wench at least her smell is not as bad as the rest of her human kind he thought to himself.

“ I will not kill her I just need her for a time until the next full moon since tonight the moon is full by the next you may have her back.”

“ What makes you think I would just hand her over to a asshole like you?”

“ I have something you maybe will to trade her for.”

At that very moment, Kagome was becoming very upset how dare they think they could trade her like she was just a piece of trash instead of human. She had had enough. Not even Sesshoumaru sharp poison filled claws could keep her anger away.

“ You do you both think you are neither one of you have the right to trade me.”

“ You do not know your place wench, but for the time since I need you I will let the comment pass I have two piece of the jewel you have been searching for.” “ If you will stay with me, and do as I asked I will give them to you if not you will never get the whole jewel.”

Kagome knew he had them, but she could not help but defended herself could she, even though it was not the idea of her having to stay with Sesshoumaru that bothered her so much it honestly made butterflies in her stomach, but she would not let that thought finish instead she thought about what bothered her most. Inuyasha was not trying to keep her with him instead he seemed to be telling Sesshoumaru to take good care of her or he would slit his throat. It seemed that all she was to him was a jewel detector.

As Sesshomaru watched Inuyasha wench he could sense the hurt she felt it came of her in waves it made her hazel eyes go wet looking, and she put her dark raven hair in front of her face to hide her pain. His half brother was dumber then he even thought he could not even see what was right in front .

“ I will stay with you.”

“ Come then.” As Sesshoumaru said those words, he noticed a tear fall from her eyes he felt this odd pain deep down almost as if it hurt to see her tears. Fef, he thought the curse it is making me weak.

“ Goodbye Inuyasha.” As Kagome said those words she felt a odd sensation run through almost like a six sense that something was about to change her life forever and she was helpless to stop it.

As Sesshourmaru led Kagome through the hallways of his home he told her in a gruff voice.

“ I want to learn of your ways such as why do you feel the things you feel, what makes you the way you are?”

Kagome realized her mouth had fallen open, but she was unable to speak. Sesshoumaru the Youkia who hated all humans wanted to know all about them.

“ Why do you want to know, why do you want me to teach you?”

“ That is none of your concern, if you want the shards you will teach me.”

How arrogant he is Kagome thought to herself acting all high and mighty, just like Inuyasha.

“ Listen Fluffy if you want my help I want to know why, why do you need me, or more or less why don’t you want to tell me the reason you need me?”

As Sesshoumaru stood in front of Kagome with no expression on his face what so ever he knew she was not afraid of him he could smell it if she had been, and this made Sesshoumaru realize this girl whom he had watched fight for and with his half brother many times was very brave especial for a human wench. Therefore, he thought fast he decided to give her a reason, but not the truth if she knew the truth she could take the information back to his half hanyou brother and he could use it against him so he thought fast.

“ I will give you a reason only because I want to and don’t you dare call me Fluffy again or you will find my claws at your thought.” “ Do you remember the last time Inuyasha and I battled for the Tetsusiaga?”

“ Yes I do.” When Susshoumaru spoke again it made Kagome remember it as if it was yesterday.

Beginning Of Flashback

“ Sit Inuyasha.” At that time Sesshoumaru had already flew at Inuyasha but still if she had not of yelled the little girl would have been killed. Kagome could still remember the look on Sesshoumaru if you could call it a look at all. He almost smiled at her as if in thanks but the way he smiled it was scary as hell Sesshoumaru smiling Kagome thought some one pinch me, but instead of pulling his sword while Inuyasha was down he turned and walked away and as he walked away he said.

“ Thank your wench Inuyasha I was prepared to kill you this day.” However, she could still remember the yelling Inuyasha did when he was able to get up once more.

“ Why does this make you want to know why us humans do the things we do?”

Sesshoumaru made sure he looked her right in the eyes but as he did he could barley pull his gaze from her eyes. Here eyes they are so intriguing they are green yet brown, but he just shook the thought from his head.

“ Because of the little girl that travels with me.”

“ So you are saying you want to know why we do the things we do because you are curious why this little girl does the things she does.”

“ Yes, and you will show me.”

Of course Kagome thought just like Inuyasha they can never ask they must demand, but as Kagome looked in to Susshoumaru eyes she felt vulnerability nah she thought Sesshoumaru vulnerable.

“ Yes I will teach you or show you.” “ When do we start?”

“ We will start tomorrow night and continuo every night after that.”

“ Why not start in the morning Susshoumaru why wait until night?”

As he started at Inuyasha wench he realized it was going to be harder to fool her then he first thought, then he knew what he would tell her.

“ Because, during the day I am busy I do rule the western lands after all do I not.” “ You may either stay in your room or you may go out side with Rin, but at night you are mine.” As the words came out of his mouth, he realized how they sounded and he realized the notion halfway appealed to him, but as all was in ignored that thought. However, he almost smiled when he seen the wench blush a bright red, and that made him frown because he never smiled.

“ Fine where is my room I am tired.”

“ Come your room is near mine and don’t be surprised if you get a surprise in the night tonight.”

Before Kagome had time to think, the word was out of her mouth. You hentai (means pervert). In the next instance, Kagome felt long sharp deadly claws at her thought.

“ I Susshoumaru am not a hentia, besides I would not lower myself to take a human female to mate with.” As those words left Susshoumaru mouth, it made some vivid images come into Kagome mind. She may be a virgin she though but she knew what mating was and it made her hot just thinking about her and Susshoumaru on a bed hands all over each other, and kissing, and who knew what other fun things. Wow girl get yourself back in check as she came back to the conversation his next words made her mouth fall open.

“ Besides as if you not being human is bad enough, you mated with my ass whole of a brother.”

“ I have never mated with Inuyasha!” Kagome could not believe his ignorance.

When Susshomaru heard her say those words he felt a little relieved, but instead of paying attention to his thought he dismissed them once more.”

“ I do not want to know what you and Inuyasha have done, come let me lead you to your room, and I was talking about the human girl Rin might come to your room tonight she has been wanting to meet you.”

Kagome face turned red as the realization of her mistake dawned on her, also at the same time something else dawned on her as she walked through the hallways of Sesshoumaru home it was beautiful. The hallways where lit up by big candles which set in beautiful wooded holders. The hallways had something close to what her world called carpet laying down on them plus it smelled good. That was when she realized something else.

“ Do you have a bath here, well what I mean is that I am dirty from all the traveling we have done in the last couple of days and I would like to take a bath.”

Without even looking at her Sesshoumaru changed directions. “ I will take you there now, and I will wait on you.”

Kagome could not believe him he thought she was going to allow him to watch her take her bath. “ You can not watch me!”

“ I did not say I was going to watch you if it makes you feel better I will turn my back.” Did I just tell her I would do something if it makes her feel better Rin is making me soft.

“ Thank You.” Did Sesshoumaru just agree to do something to make me feel better Kagome thought as she smiled to herself maybe he is not so bad after all. To Kagome surprise the bath was a hot springs so the water was very warm and inviting.

Sesshoumaru turned his back as he told he would but before he did he seen her he could not believe it she was perfect fitting to be a Demonees with her slim waist high breast and black raven hair. Sesshoumaru could not believe that where his thoughts had led him he (literally) shook his head.

As Kagome lay in her bed thinking about Inuyasha then Susshoumaru she seen her door open this must be Rin she thought. As the little girl walked across the room with one of her bright smiles in place Kagome realized the little girl was very pretty the first time she had seen Rin she had not had time to pay much attention to her. The little girl had dark brown shoulder length hair brown eyes and pale skin.

“ Hello you must be Rin.”

“ Yes, Sesshoumaru said you where here to assist him.”

“ Yes I am, but I would like to spend some time with you to.”

“ You would Rin would love to spend time with you to.” Kagome already realized this little girl had won her heart over “ Would you like to stay here tonight Rin.”

With a big grin, the little girl said, “ Yes Rin would love to stay the night.”

Just A Little Bit Later That Night

The Following Night

This was the seen Sesshoumaru came upon Kagome watching Rin picking flowers, with a smile on her lips.

“ Wench are you ready to show me what I asked.”

This startled Kagome out of her thoughts. “ What would you like me to teach you Susshoumaru, I know you want to know why we humans do the things we do.” “ I just don’t know where to start.”

Susshoumaru had already thought about this long and hard and he knew what he wanted to know he wanted to know what theses feelings where that he had been feeling lately ever since the curse had come upon him.

“ I want to know what theses feelings are that you humans seem to always be feeling.”

Kagome was even more puzzled then she was before “ You are wanting to know what Happiness is, what worry is, what being hurt feels like, and what love is, what being scared feels like.” “ Do you not have theses feelings yourself.”

Susshoumaru was having feelings he just did not know what to call them, that was why he thought to bring Inuyasha wench here so she could teach him, but he knew he could not admit this to her.

“ No I do not have feelings, but I want to know what theses things are because of Rin now are you ready to start.”

“ What you are asking of me will be hard to show you, but maybe I can.” Kagome knew there must be another reason why he wanted to know theses things but for the time she would not ask.

“ See Rin over there do you see the smile on her face how she is laughing and singing as she picks her flowers.”

“ Yes, I see her.” Susshoumaru had always been a little curious about Rin maybe that was why he had brought her back to life that day, because she intrigued him. At least this is what he told him self every day.

“ Is this happiness what Rin is doing.”

Kagome almost felt sorry for Sesshoumaru what must it belike not to be able to feel anything, she decided right then she wanted to teach him how to feel.

“ Happiness is not something you do Sesshoumaru it is something you feel here.” As Kagome placed her hand over her heart it made Sesshoumaru notice her breast once more his eyes grew dark this did not go unnoticed by Kagome. She may be innocent but she knew what that look meant and she was started to realized she was also attracted to Susshoumaru with his golden eyes and long white hair and chiseled face he was a very good looking male, she could tell even through his clothing that he was built very well. Wow girl what are you doing Kagome thought to herself this is Sesshoumaru you are thinking about here. As Sesshoumaru started at Kagome, he recognized this feeling it was lust, he had felt it many times before but never with a human, but at that moment Rin decided to interrupt.

It was her last week there and she decided to go and take her daily bath since it was daytime she really had nothing else to do but what she discovered there gave her all her answers. As Kagome walked into the bath she, slide her newest Kimono that Sesshoumaru had sent to her room off and she steeped into the water that was when she heard the grown.

“ Who is here.” However, as Kagome said those words the steam seemed to evaporate and she could see through the mist. It was a man she realized a very handsome man at that. He looked something like Inuyasha but more masculine he had deep-set brown eyes, long black hair like most men did during the warring period. He had a six-pack any man would love to have. Kagome was so taken by surprised she did not even have time to become scared, or realize she was naked beneath the water but deep down she already knew who this was but how was this possible she thought.

The man stood up and the water still covered him to the waist he walked toward Kagome. “ Wench what are you doing here.”

“ I came to take me daily bath.” Kagome could not believe her eyes this man was beautiful she did not think he would like to be called beautiful, but he was just that. As the man gripped her by her upper arms that was when she realized she could be in trouble but that was also when the feeling that she knew him over came her and she said his name.

“ Susshoumaru is that you?”

Susshoumaru thought about denying but it but the female he was holding in his arms weather she was human or not did not seem to matter at this very moment what he did next took him by surprise as much as it did Kagome.

Kagome new by instinct what he was about to do she could feel the act start in her stomach she could not believe this she knew she should yell for him to stop, but in her heart she knew she wanted this kiss more then life itself. As Sesshoumaru lips took hers over it was as if a bomb had gone off inside her the ache went lower to woman’s core. She slide her hands up his chest she heard and felt his grown against her mouth.

As he pulled away from her, he said something without thinking, “ Is this happiness.” Kagome new in that instant she was in love with Susshoumaru she new that what she was feeling was not logical but was love ever logical.

Instead of answering his question, she asked one of her own. “ Sesshoumaru what happened why are you human.”

As Susshoumaru stared at her what was this feeling he was feeling it was as if his heart was whole, but yet he did not have a heart but he must if he could feel it what was going on. So he decided to answer her question just to keep theses thoughts at bay he told him self.

“ Come get dressed I will tell you as we walk to my chambers.  No one else knows about this they can not know there are Youkia out there whom would love to take advantage of my weakness including Inuyasha do you understand.”

Kagome new what he was asking even though she knew he could never ask aloud.

“ Yes you can trust me I will tell no one.”

“ I have no choice but trust you!” Sesshoumaru looked at her he seen the hurt his words had afflicted he felt as if he had just lost apart of him when he seen the hurt in her eyes, but before he could say anything she turned on him. Her eyes became a bright green he was enchanted with those beautiful eyes.

“ You Baca, how in the hell can you not trust me.  I have never done anything to ever make you not trust me.” Before she could get her next words, out he was kissing her again and all her hatred left her and replaced by passion, but what really made her heart skip a beat was his next words.

“ You are mine Kagome.” He said it as if it was a soft touch to her skin, but he did not give her time to think about those words his hands slide down to her breast and she lost coherent thought. The next thing she knew she was lying on his mat. She knew she should stop him, but she also knew she would not. As he stood above her and undress, she realized she was his, and he was hers. She did not even realize when she became undressed but the next thing she knew they where skin to skin she felt a shudder go through her body. As his lips traveled over her body, she moaned his name. As his lips came back to her neck she felt a pinch of pain, then his mouth retook hers and she bit his lip softly and she felt his hard length taking her body.

As passion overcame them both, Sesshoumaru screamed Kagome name and she screamed his. As Kagome lay within his arms, she felt the change come over him, as she raised up she notice he was back to his Youkia self.

Sesshoumaru you are back to yourself.”

Sesshoumaru looked outside to see if the sun had set but it was still daylight how was this possible but then the words came back to him that the female Youkia who had cursed him said.

“ You will never be released from this curse Lord Sesshoumaru until you are taken complete by a human emotion, because that is the only way you will ever be whole.” As he came back to the present, he could feel Kagome heat. He knew what the Youkia had been talking about she had been talking about love, because he loved Kagome she was now his mate the mark on her neck proved that, but Kagome next words stunned him even though he knew he loved her he did not know how to answer her.

“ Do you love me Sesshoumaru?”

“ You are my mate Kagome I will protect you and take care of your needs.” Kagome new this was the closest thing to a declaration of love that she was going to get from him, but she knew that he loved her she did not know how but she did.

“ What is this mark you put on my neck.”

“ It marks you as mine Kagome, you are my mate.” She knew his words where true but what about my time, my family and what about Inuyasha and the jewel shards. She knew she could not leave Sesshoumaru she loved him.

“ Sesshoumaru there are certain things you do not know about me.” “ What I mean is that I am from the future.”

“ I know Kagome.”

“ You know, how can you know?”

“ When I bit you, I touched your soul I know all about you as you do I, and yes Kagome you can go see your family I would not keep you from that but Inuyasha is another matter I do not trust that ass whole to keep you safe.” “ Do not worry Kagome I will tell him, besides by the end of the week your Youkia blood will have taken over.”

“ My what?”

“ When you bit me back you took in my blood you will now became a Youkia does that bother you.”

As Kagome thought his words over she knew deep in her heart, she knew she had wanted this from the begging

“ No, I want to be with you it will be hard to tell Inuyasha though.”

As Kagome smelled the air she knew Inuyasha was close, as she watched her mate raise his head she knew he smelled him to.

“ Sesshoumaru the deal is done where is Kagome.” Kagome could not believe it he was standing right in front of her and overlooking her.

“ Inuyasha I am right here in front of you.” At this point Sesshoumaru had walked up and put his arms protectively around Kagome.

“ Fef ,you are not Kagome you are a Youkia.”

“ I am Kagome Inuyasha I have become Sesshoumaru mate, and I have chosen to stay with him.” As Kagome watched the realization dawn on Inuyasha his next words made pure hatred enter to heart.

“ But what about the jewel shards Kagome.” It hurt her to realize that was all she was to him a jewel finder, but the love she had once felt for him had left along time ago possible even the night she had watched him kiss Kiko.

“ Here Inuyasha here are the two shards that my mate promised you.   I hope one day you can find if you have not found it with Kiko what my mate and I share.” She said this words as she walked into the castle. “ Do not try to start a battle Inuyasha you know this is the end between you and I , if you start one I will have to fight beside my mate.” She could feel his raged a single tear ran down her face she prayed one day he could find a love like the one she had found, she realized then her mate was walking behind her as she knew he would for the rest of there life. What a way to begin a new way of life Kagome thought as they walked into the castle.

Kagome had felt lately like a caged cat or dog since in away that was what she had become since becoming Sesshoumaru mate two short years before. Kagome could feel it in the air itself . She did not know what was coming but something was maybe this was a part of the Mekos powers she was just now discovering but she did not think so.

As the wind blew Kagome long white hair behind her shoulder and the cresent shaped moon was even more obvious the creature that had been watching her smiled he now had the proof he had the right female. He just had to wait for the right moment to grab her the Youkia thought how his lord would be pleased.

Why do I feel this way Kagome thought to herself, maybe it is because Sesshoumaru is leaving tomorrow to meet with Inuyasha. Kagome and Sesshoumaru had not seen or heard from Inuyasha since that day she had told him she had become Sesshoumaru mate but she had found out that he had mated with Kiko and she had hoped Inuyasha was happy as she was with Sesshoumaru. But even though she was glad that Inuyasha was ready to contact them, she did not understand why he did not want to see her that cut her deeply she had forgiven him why could he not forgive her. She had already talked to her mate about this but he just told her Inuyasha has been and will always be a fool. Kagome smiled to herself she could even remember the look her mate got on his face. The same one he always got if she brought up his half youkia brother she sometimes believed he was jealousy of the time she had once spent with him, but the time was fast approaching for her mate to leave. She knew he was out checking his borders to make sure they were safe before he left. As her gaze found Rin near the woods picking some more flowers. She noticed something with her Youkia eye sight she could see a fly sitting on a tree, but before she blinked her golden eyes what ever it was it was gone, but the uneasiness she had been felling lately hit her so she called Rin and they went into there home.

Sesshoumaru like his mate had been feeling this nagging feeling that something was not right. Even as he checked the borders of his land and found nothing wrong the feeling still did not go away if anything it increased, so he decided it was time to get back home to his mate and Rin.

As the evil Youkia watched the Mekio with the young female whom she called Rin, and that stupid toad Jaken whom the Lord of the western lands had made stay home to protect the Mekio and the girl. Like he could protect them from me he laughed to himself . It was almost time, soon he would shoot the dart that would make the Mikos Youkia powers useless the Lord would be so pleased he thought.

As Sesshoumaru was heading toward the place where Inuyasha said for them to meet the further he went away from his mate the more his uneasiness grew he almost turned around and went back, but that was when all hell broke lose and he was attack. Even though it did not take long for Sesshoumaru to defeat the weaker Youkia it still took up time. If he had only known, he was being attack to keep him from going back to his mate or to the meeting placing that Inuyasha said for him to meet him just maybe he could have made it back in time.

Kagome was watching the forest she did not know what it was, but she knew she was not the only one with this restless feeling. The forest seemed to be alive with it, but that was when she felt the eyes on her she turned but it was to late the dart pierced her skin at the base of her neck and she fell to the ground the last thought she had was off her mate. “ Sesshoumaru where are you I need you my mate.”

“Sesshoumaru where are you, I need you my mate.” Sesshoumaru listened but he did not hear anything. It must have been the wind he thought, but his uneasiness grew, but his mate had asked him this and she had never asked him to do anything until now and he had given her his word and he always kept his word so instead of turning back instead he went on to the meeting place to meet Inuyasha.

The first thing Kagome realized as she woke was the man whom now had his back to her. The first thing she noticed was the large red spider on his back. Narkuri Kagome thought just the name made chills run over her body.

The figure knew the Mekio had awoken he almost smiled it was good to see her again he thought he had missed that smell which smelled so much like Kikos but yet was different because of the Mikos purity.

Kagome had a feeling this man or what ever he was knew she was starring at him she was about to call out to him when she noticed some thing her claws where gone, that was when the man finally spoke.

“ Yes Minko your Youkia powers are gone, your mates blood has been taken from you.”

“ Why have you done this, who are you.” Kagome could not believe this her mates blood had been taken from her she felt tears slide down her cheeks, but no matter this creature could not take her love for her mate away.

“ Who do you think I am Mekio?”

“ You look like Narkiu but I do not since the evil around you that he has with him.”

“ Well Mekio your powers are not as strong as they once where then because I am he, or anyone you chose me to be.” As he said these words Kagome watched him take her form. “ But maybe this form will make you feel safer.” That was when he took the form of her mate Lord Sesshoumaru.

Kagome was not a crier but she felt the tears start once more.

As the man watched the Mekio cry he almost felt like telling her the truth but he could not yet so much depend on him to keep that a secret from her until the time was right. So instead of giving her comfort like he wished he could he said harshly.

“ Shut the whining wench, or I will slit your throat.”

Kagome knew she was not thinking straight, but she could not help it. “ Go to hell, you think I care if you kill me you took my one reason for living away from me.” “ So you think you can make me listen to you by your idle threats your wrong go to hell kill me if you want to your threats do not matter to me I do not fear death.” As she ready herself for the finally blow which never came, but what did come surprised the hell out of her he laughed.

Sesshoumaru was almost to the meeting place but he was being held up weak Youkia kept on attacking him , he was so busy he was yet to notice that he could not feel Kagome. As he finally climbed the last hill to the destination to where he was suppose to meet Inuyasha, he seen him sitting in a tree staring at the sky. He watched his half-brother turn toward him. Nothing in Susshoumaru life had ever taken him by surprise but what he seen on his half brother face did. He knew instantly this was not his half brother but what is was was a whole other matter.

“ Who are you Youkia.”

“ Hello Father.” Those two words stopped Sesshoumaru for only a moment but that was all it took him to see his own mark upon the boys forehead.

“ I do not have a son, my mate and I have no children especial one of your age.”

“ No you don’t, but you will in the future in the near future if I must say, but that is not why I am here you must believe me you nor do I have the time for me to explain everything right now.” “ I am your son can you at least believe that.”

Sesshoumaru looked at the boy in front of him he realized he looked a lot like his mate, and a lot like him for the moment he would believe him. Because for some reason he felt a link with this boy or what ever he was that was the very moment when he realized some thing Kagome she was gone he could not detect her he was turning leaving this boy behind to get back to his mate when his words made him stop dead.

“ You will not find her there father she has been taken whom by I do not know.”

The next moment Sesshoumaru had the boy up against the tree. “ I do not care who the hell you are or where the hell you came from where is my mate, and why the hell can I not feel her.”

“ I do not know where she is or who has her but I do know why you can not feel her.” “ She is no longer Youkia she is human once more.”

As Kagome watched the man or whatever he was she felt a sense of of knowing him. “ Do I know you?”

“ I am a Youkia for the time being that is all you need to know about who I am.” “ Soon you will know the rest.” As the Youkia watched the female he knew she was not scared he had always admired that trait in her.

Kagome watched the Youkia and decided she wanted some answers at least to one of her questions. “ Fine, if you can not tell me who you are at least answer one question for me, why have you taken my powers away will I ever get them back.”

The Youkia almost smiled yet again he knew she would not stop even if it meant her death, but he also knew the answer he was about to give her in her eyes would be worse then death. He hated the idea of hurting her this way, but he had no choice.

“ I took your Youkia powers so you would no longer be Sesshoumaru mate, and if you can get them back that is up to you.”

Kagome had felt the lose of the connection her and her mate had once shared but this she was no longer his mate. No it could not be true. At that very moment a red orb started to surrounded Kagome and she started to raise off of the ground. As she floated in front of the Youkia and the red surrounding her she knew this was part of her Minko self, but she was so angry how dare he do this to her. She could feel the energy building within her as she stared straight at the Youkia she watched his almost smile disappear completely.

The Youkia watched the now very hyped up Minko in her powerful state, he only wished he could ease her pain, but he knew she had to face even more pain before this was over, but he decided it was time for her to know at least part of the reason he had came back for her. So he called her by name.

“ Kagome drop your powers and I will expain at least as much of it as I can.” He was not sure if she knew how but the red orb disappeared.

“ You called me by name who are you what do you want with me?”

“ Kagome I can not revel who I am at least not yet, but why I am here I can at least most of it.”

As Kagome watched him she felt deep in her heart this Youkia meant good but could she trust him for the moment she knew she had no choice. “ Alright tell me what you can.”

“ Kagome I have come from your original time.”

“ What how, how did you get here?”

“ Let me explain how I got here is not that it important why I am here is.” “ So just listen and let me explain.”

“ When you where first sent here you where sent here for a reason to find the jewel shards, but then you decided to stay with Lord Sesshoumaru that was not suppose to happen.” “ When you became his mate you changed time itself.” “ Your whole world has changed Youkia now rule the lands.” “ The last time you went and seen your family did you not notice even then the small changes it has been almost two years since you seen them.” “ Yes I know it has only been two months here, but there it has been two long and hard years.”

“ What has happened to my family?”

“ Your family is fine but now they obey other Youkia they do not have the freedom they once had.” “ Your time is at war your kind do not have a fighting chance the only reason they have lasted this long is that some of the Youkia have joined with the humans.

Kagome felt tears slide down her cheeks she knew what he said to be the truth she did not know how she knew but she did.

“ What have I done, I just wanted to be happy to be loved is that wrong.” “ I gave everything up to find those shards I went through hell almost died more then once trying to find them.” “ I never once questioned why I was the one chosen not once I never asked for anything in return, but the one time I take some thing I want.” “ I hurt the ones I love.

As the Youkia watched Kagome he almost reached out to take her in his arms to give her comfort but he knew he could not he also knew it was not time to revel the rest of the reason he had come back at least not yet. As he watched her fall to her knees and cry out in human pain and anger. That was when he remembered the promise he had made those years ago to always protect her, and he always kept his promise. But he knew it was much more then that he had loved her forever he knew that and he also knew her heart would never belong to him, he had lost the right to that many years ago.

As Kagome watched the Youkia she felt linked to him some how, she knew she knew him but from where. She was so lonely she wanted her mate by her side she knew he would be looking for her by now oh how she missed him, but could she turn back then something hit her that the Youkia had said early, and she decided to ask him about it.

“ You said when I chose Lord Sesshoumaru to be my mate that I was not suppose to do that, and that it had changed my world.” “ Is this the reason you took my powers?”

As the Youkia looked at Kagome he smiled truly smile he had almost forgotten how clever she was, but he also knew the answer would hurt her. He just hoped she was still as strong because that strength was the one thing that would keep her going.

“ Yes that is the reason I took them away, even though what has already been done can not be undone but by taking them it has changed the future again which way is up to you.” “ Do not ask me what I mean by that I will not say, as you have already realized your mate is on his way trying to find you I made sure my servant left a good trail of your sent so he could find us easily.” “ When he gets here I will explain all.”

Sesshoumaru was close he knew that he would not admit it but the boy had been a big help to him, they had been ambushed many times by many different Youkia but that would not stop him from finding his mate. That was when Susshoumaru stopped “ You say you are my son, and that you are from the future you must already know what is going to happen here today and I want to know can I turn my mate back to herself.”

“ I do not know even though I am from the future this is still my present , all I know is that I had to come back to this time to help mother make a decision I really don’t even know how I know this just a gut feeling. “

As Kagome stood at the entrance of the cave the Youkia spoke behind her. “ Your mate will be here soon, but so will some one else he is who is says he is but you must listen to yourself no one else not even me in this matter.” “Ah here they are now” As the Youkia watched the two wrap there arms around each other then within a split second he felt the claws at his throat.

“ You will die for taking what is mine Youkia, but then he watched Lord Sesshoumaru step back with realization with who stood in front of him.”

“ You.” was all Sesshoumaru could think of to say how could this be possible what was going on here.”

Kagome watched her mate and the Youkia and now she was really confused you know him my mate.” But instead of her mate answering her the Youkia did.

“ Yes he knows me and so do you Kagome.” “ I promised I will answer all your question but first you should meet the person or Youkia whom is standing in the shadows.”

As the boy stepped out of the shadows Kagome gasped he looked just like her and like her mate then he spoke.

“ Hello Mother.”

“ No, this can not be I have no son or any children.”

“ No, mother you don’t but you will soon very soon.”

As the Youkia watched what was going on he was afraid now what Kagome decision would be he was wondering which way her son would try to talk her into but was broke from that thought by the boy him self.

“ I know Youkia you and I are here for the same reason but I believe you have some explaining to do more then me anyway.”

As all the attention was focused on him he decided it was time.

“ As I said before Kagome you know me you know me as Inuyasha.” As he said this he watched the color drain from her cheeks then she was running at him in the next instant her arms where around him and her mate had a look on his face that would have frighted the greatest warrior away.

“ Oh Inuyasha I knew it was you well I knew I knew you any way.”

As Inuyasha felt her embrace warmth that had been denied his heart for many, many years flowed through him even though he knew her heart belong with his brother, but he was afraid what he was about to do would chance any kind feelings Kagome had for him into pure hatred. So he pushed her away from him.

“ It is time Kagome for you to know everything, everything that will happen if you do not go back to your time with me, and brother I know your reaction to this but once you hear what I have to say you may change your mind.”

Soon very soon you will realized you are pregnant with a son you will bare this child your lives will go on good for the next two years, but after that the waring will start.” “You will have to send your child into hiding, because his life has been threaten by this time most of your close friends will be dead.” “ At this point I come back believe this or not I fight with my brother not against him.” “ Kiko my mate has already been kidnapped or at the time I thought dead.” “ One evening my brother and I get into a fight with some very strong Youkia and what we do not realize is this battle was set up.” “ As we fight you are kidnapped.” “ Your mate and I go after you he is killed I am wounded I almost die.” “ We do not succeed in saving you Narku is the one you kidnapped you he is planning on taking your soul and putting it back into Kiko body.” “ At this point is when I find out she has left me for him as I am tied to a tree to week to move I watch him kill you and take your soul.” “ Even now Kiko walks during your time period she has become a very powerful Youkia she has killed many of your kind Kagome you must believe me, and that is the reason you must go back with me.” As he said these last words he knew his brother was going to attack him so he moved out of the way before he could.

“ My mate do not fight him.” Inuyasha could not believe Kagome was taking up for him after all he had just told her but then her next words caught him by surprise.

“ Inuyasha you are not telling us everything why do you have Narku sign on your back.

“ You always where very perceptive Kagome.” “ During that battle with Narku the last thing you did before you died you had the Shikon no tama put into my body, and I know your next question will be why could you not detect it.” “ I have had the jewel inside my body for almost 500 years.” “ I have learned how to hide for safety reason you asked me to protect and I promised you even though I could not safe you from death I would not fail you in this, but now I can I can save you from death.” “ Kagome I can not promise your world will be any different but if you go back with me your mate will live so will you and that means Kiko can not have your soul.”

As Kagome listened to the future Inuyasha she knew he was not lying to her but could she leave her mate behind it would just break her heart so, but that was when she remembered someone else.

“ Inuyasha what about my son will he still be conceived?”

Inuyasha looked at Kagome had she not yet figured it out but before he could answer Susshoumaru answered for him.

“ My mate you are already pregnant.”

‘ What then if I am already pregnant did taking my powers away hurt the baby?”

Inuyasha answered the next one

“ No, it did not because you are also Minko and the baby can take power from that, but if you go back to my world his life will change.”

Kagome knew she had to ask her son because his very life could end.

“ My child I do not know you yet but I need your opinion on this matter.” “ I mean you may very well die, what do you want me to do?”

“ Mother I can remember you before you where killed all those years ago you where beautiful full of laughter like you are now.” “ Now that I have the chance to keep you alive my advice would be to go back, but could you be happy if you go back?”

Inuyasha decided it was time for him and her son to leave and give Sesshoumaru and Kagome time alone.

“ Kagome your son and I will leave we will be back in the morning if you are going be ready to leave but before I go listen to this Kagome listen to your heart in this matter good bye for now.

Back At The Castle

“ Kagome you are alright Sesshoumaru brought you back to me.”

“ Ah, Rin everything is alright now go find Jaken and have him take you out side to pick flowers Sesshoumaru and I will be in our chambers.”

As Kagome said this to Rin she noticed that her mate had a blank look on his face as if he did not have a care in the world but she knew her mate and she knew this was when he was thinking the most. She felt a tear run down her face as they walked into their chambers, and her mate took his hand and wiped the tears away.

“ My mate you do not have to go with him, but I know you and I know what you are going to do.”

“ Oh, my love you know me to well tonight is our night let’s make it special.”

“ Kagome you know I will always be with you in your heart if not in body in heart no one not no one can take that away.” “ I love you my mate.”

“ Sesshoumaru you know that I will always love you, you are and always will be my mate.”

As Kagome watched her mate walk over and look out at the full moon she knew her life would never be the same without him.

“ Kagome we are going to have a child and I will never get to see him.”

This made tears come to her eyes she loved him so much.

“ Oh Sesshoumaru I know I wish things could be different but you know I can not turn my back on them.”

“Yes my mate I know.”

Later On In The Night

Inuyasha knew they where on there way he could smell them he could smell her tears. Oh Kagome how I wish I did not have to do this to you. That was when he seen them coming he watched as his brother turned her in his arms and kissed her long and slow .

“ Inuyasha I am ready to leave!” Kagome felt as if you heart was being torn out, as she watched Inuyasha open a portal by using the jewel tears where running down her face. She felt the portal pulling her she turned back one last time to look at her mate. That was when she seen Kiko standing on a tree she did not know why her love did not sence this but the portal all ready had a grip on her she could not pull free so she screamed. She watched as her mate turned his head but it was already to late the arrow struck him right in the chest it was to late she was then sucked through.
