Prolog
" Should I take the jewel now?" Kagome asked the slightly injured group of people she traveled with. "Just take it wench." Inuyasha grumbled from in a tree still morning the death of Kikkyo who had been absorbed into Naraku half way threw their final battle. Kagome glared heatedly at the bold half demon's choice of words and gently touched the purple/ black jewel lying in a puddle of both demon and human blood. As soon as Kagome's hand touched the glowing jewel her powers reacted violently to the tainted jewels power and a surge of both pure and tainted energy flooded the surrounding area.
When the light faded and the strange traveling group could see again they where hesitant to rush to Kagome's side. On the ground next to her laid the former jewel, which had turned into a petrified rock. Sesshomaru was first to Kagome's side with Inuyasha right behind him, but for another reason than to make sure Kagome was ok. "The JEWEL." Inuyasha yelled as he reached for the rock, but as soon as his hand touched it the jewel turned to dust "NO!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THE JEWEL, BITCH." Inuyasha raged as he made to grab Kagome who was unconscious in Sesshomaru's arms. Sesshomaru stopped him in his tracks with a deep, menacing growl and blood red eyes. "Touch her and die Inuyasha." Was Sesshomaru's simple yet, entirely true threat.
Sesshomaru gently stood while still holding Kagome and started walking towards Inuyasha's forest only turning once to say, "Come. She will explain once she wakes." The walk was done mostly in silence with only the occasional yell of hentai and Inuyasha's heated mutterings. It didn't take them long to reach the small village on the outskirts of Inuyasha's forest but they where all tired from the battle earlier that day so they whent straight to Kaede's hut to rest.
It was early the next day when they woke up to the beginnings of light drifting across their faces. That night there had only been one not to sleep and that was Sesshomaru who had kept watch over Kagome. Kagome had been the last to wake having been quite comfortable in Sesshomaru's arms. It wasn't until midday that they all finally sat down to talk about what had happened to the jewel. There was a heavy silence among the group as Kagome practically tried to hide behind Sesshomaru in fear of Inuyasha's reaction. Kagome didn't love Inuyasha anymore but she still depended on him a lot and she was unwilling to hurt him and as Kagome had seen it, it was Inuyasha who broke the silence loudly demanding, "Ok, bitch, tell me what the hell you did to the jewel. You where only suppose to purify the damn thing. The wish was mine." Still hiding in the comfort of Sesshomaru's embrace Kagome answered Inuyasha.
"The jewel had been in Naraku's possession to long. Between that and Naraku continuously tainting it in the blood of innocents the jewel had become naturally tainted. Since it was tainted beyond purification when I whent to purify the jewel the tainted power of the jewel and my pure power clashed resulting in the jewel being destroyed for good and the power from the jewel returning to my body where it belonged." Kagome explained as briefly and simply as she could, trying not to confuse any one. Miroku was the first to speak by asking, "What do you mean the power of the jewel returned to you?"
Kagome sighed and faced the group for the first time that day and said, "The jewel took its power from me when I was being attacked by mistress centipede but when the jewel was extracted from my body the power it had taken from my supply was still trapped within the jewel. In all actuality when the jewel has no guardian to fill it with power it is nothing more than a pretty pebble. So when the jewel was tainted so where my powers in the jewel but when the power was released from the jewel my remaining power purified the tainted power but it was too much for the jewel to take so the jewel was destroyed." After that there was only one question left unasked and unanswered at every one but Inuyasha wished to know from Kagome.
Finally it was Shippou who got the courage to ask the potentially devastating question. "What will happen to you now Momma?" Kagome quietly gather the small kit into her arms and held him tightly as she said, "I will leave and you wont see me again unless you find me in the future, my child, but don't cry because I will always be thinking of you my son and know this you will always be loved no matter what." The kit broke down into tears at this and said, "But momma I don't want you to go I want you here with Sesshomaru and Rin and every one." "Hush my son. If I had the choice I would stay but I cannot because you see if I stay I would be changing the future and that would change our lives in the past." Shippou quieted at her words and accepted them even though he wished it wasn't rue. Kagome then sat him back onto the ground and said, "I need to talk to Sesshomaru in privet. He'll be back in a few."
Kagome and Sesshomaru then left the hut and headed into Inuyasha's forest in the same direction as the well. When they reached the well they stopped and did noting but quietly stare at each other trying to convey how they felt with out saying it out loud. They stood there for a few minuets before Sesshomaru reached down and pulled Kagome into a passionate yet bitter sweet kiss. When they pulled apart it was Sesshomaru who spoke. "Kagome before you leave let me mark you as mine. Please it should help me find you in the future, my love." Kagome knew the answer to that right away, "I am yours, Sesshomaru I have been since we first met under peaceful circumstances. I would love nothing more than for you to mark me as yours." Sesshomaru gave a small smile at Kagome's answer and quickly bent down to Kagome's neck and bit down hard. Kagome gave a small gasp and whimpered slightly at the pain.
When Sesshomaru removed his lips from Kagome's neck the pain grew until Kagome couldn't hold back a small cry, then the pain receded until it was only a dull ache like that of your muscles the day after you worked out hard. Left on her neck was a tattoo of a blue moon with an intricate design inside the actual moon with the moon wrapped around a blood red rose. "Wait, you must mark me as well." Sesshomaru said, stopping Kagome from leaving. Realizing what he meant Kagome pressed her lips to Sesshomaru's neck, flinching slightly before she bit down. When Kagome removed her lips she noticed that Sesshomaru's mark had already appeared on him. His mark was that of a blood red rose blooming with a moon in its center. Kagome touched her neck lightly, and his where their marks now stood before she kissed Sesshomaru good bye with words of love and a request to take care of Shippou. Sesshomaru snorted at the last bit and had said that she was his mate to be so her family was his family. Kagome laughed lightly at that and told him she loved him one last time before she let herself fall into the well.
It seemed like forever before Kagome landed gently on the other side never to return to the ones she cared for as family. Kagome's mood was darkened by that fact and by the sudden realization that the chances of her ever seeing Sesshomaru again where almost nonexistent. She quietly climbed out of the well with a sober expression upon her face and headed to the house not far from the well house. "I'm home." Kagome said softly expecting to see her family running to her and asking questions like how long was she staying this time and so on, but she was met with silence. Hmmm I guess they are out. I guess that's good at least I can have some time to think. Kagome thought as she headed up to her bed room. All the while she missed the fact that the house was almost utterly empty of all material possessions. The only thing that was left untouched was her bed room which was full of clothes that were too small for her to wear anyways. Sitting on the slightly dusty bed Kagome stared off into space.
It was getting dark when Kagome finally left her room to get something to drink. Out side she could hear the beginnings of a storm and suddenly she was hit with the feeling of being totally and utterly alone. NO. Where are they? Momma? Souta? Gramps? Kagome thought to herself as she started to panic. She raced threw the house shouting there names before she collapsed into a chair left in the kitchen. She buried her head into her hands and let the tears that had been threatening to fall since she got out of the well to fall freely. All that whent threw her head was that they had abandoned her and she had no where to go. It wasn't until the storm was raging outside that she clamed down enough to realize that there was a piece of paper left on the counter covered pretty well in dust.
Kagome gingerly got out of the chair and picked up the paper. Kagome stared for a good five minuets at the gray sheet before focusing her tired eyes on the words written on it.
Dear Kagome,
I don't know when you will get this but I hope it is before to long. I met some one about the time you first fell down the well and well we hit it off quickly. Well he asked me to marry him and I accepted I hope you get this in time to attend the wedding which is November 6th. After we're married Souta, gramps and I will be moving in with him and be living at his school, which Souta will be attending next year. I know we haven't seen you in months but when you get this please pack what you want and bring it to this address
3425 Sakura Ave.
Northern Osaka.
We will be waiting for you. Oh and I should tell you his name is Anko Cross (A/N: I don't really know his first name sorry)and he has an adopted daughter called Yuki. I believe she is only a year younger than you and a very sweet girl. Find us soon
Love,
Mom, gramps and Souta
Kagome almost whent into a state of shock at the news her mother broke to her in a letter. Feeling greatly betrayed and alone Kagome grabbed what she could put in her bag and started walking threw the raging storm towards her family's new home. I know I've been gone almost a year but why? Why did they leave me? Kagome's thoughts raged in her head as strongly as the storm around her was.
-Feudal era-
Sesshomaru did not leave the side of the well for many hours while his heart and mind fought about whether he would ever see Kagome again. His heart fought fiercely against his mind determined to have some hope even if with each rational sentence from his mind that hope grew lesser and lesser. His hope whent from the brightness from the sun to the glowing of a candle. Knowing his heart would never give up on that small flame of hope that was left Sesshomaru's mind left it at that letting the heart win. Sesshomaru let one tear slide down his face, his soul clinging to that small flame of hope, before turning away from the well to do as Kagome had asked and tell the others her requests.
"Shippou." Was the first thing Sesshomaru said when he got back to the village that Kagome's friends resided in. "fetch everyone I must speak to them." Sesshomaru requested when Shippou appeared next to him. With a vigorous nod Shippou ran off to do what was requested of him. It was a few minuets later when the former traveling companions trickled into Keade's hut. Once everyone was assembled, with loud insults, courtesy of Inuyasha, Sesshomaru began, "Kagome has left for good." With that Shippou burst into tears. Sesshomaru watched as Sango quickly picked up the kit and comforted him. Once he was silent Sesshomaru continued. "Shippou, Kagome said that she will find you in the future and until then to remember you are always in her heart and that she loves you. She also requested that I take care of you until you are capable of doing it yourself. Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku she's sorry she left without saying goodbye herself and that she wishes you all live long and joyful lives." With that Sesshomaru got up and took the silent kit from Sango's comforting grip.
Shippou had no problem with the arrangement mostly because he looked up to Sesshomaru. They had left the others in stunned, confused silence. Shippou whent back to the village every once in a while to see how the former traveling companions where doing and to sit by the well remembering the days when Kagome was with them. Shippou had taken to calling Sesshomaru dad mostly because he had found out that Sesshomaru had marked Kagome before she left. Sesshomaru didn't seem to mind and was quite protective of the young fox child and his human ward.
