Revised A/N: Hello, hello my lovely readers! So if you didn't know Immortal's Tale was the first long fan fiction story wrote. However, I noticed a lot of grammatical errors over the years and the fact that I never finished the story. Since I've taken a semester off from college I decided I would revamp this story. Hope you all enjoy!


Immortal's Tale

Chapter 1: Prologue


'Why does my life never go the way I hope?'

All I ever wanted was a normal life, but as fate would have it I fell down the well.

I fell in love and went through so much, only to have my heart broken.

After the jewel I thought things would be better, however, fate didn't agree.

Lady Kaede passed away during the second winter after I was sealed in Feudal Era permanently. Her death was a peaceful and painless one. She died at nearly sixty-five years old, which is considerably long for any human living in the feudal era. Despite dying of natural causes it still hurts my heart to this day. Just thinking about her death brings tears to my eyes.

Many of my friends from my travels with the Inu-tachi came to her funeral. Lady Kaede's death was something I should have been prepared for, expected even. I mean she was around sixty years old when I first came to the feudal era and that was nearly ten years ago. Lady Kaede had bestowed up me her wisdom and guidance. She was a grandmother, teacher, counselor, and much more towards me and my traveling companions. Always patient when training me, always ready with a cup of tea when the days were hard, or someone needed some comforting. And after losing my family in the future I needed all the comforting I could get those first couple of months.

The funeral was big and lavish ceremony for the frugal and kind miko. And afterwards there was a joyful celebration that the whole village put together, as many felt Lady Kaede wouldn't want them to be sad. Even knowing she wouldn't want me to be sad I couldn't help the depression that overtook me those many days and nights.

It felt like the weight of the world weighed me down and I stayed in bed, constantly crying for the one who had played a huge role in my life for nearly a decade. Depressing thoughts floating constantly through my mind during that time.

'Will this happen to them all?

Will this happen to Sango and Miroku as well?

Would I be forced to watch them wither and die as well?'

Even now these are thoughts that I dwell occasionally when I think about of all of my friends. Truthfully, I know that death is inevitable and yet, it is still hard to accept even now.

Every day I would look at my friends' faces and I would see wrinkle here and there, loss of youthful energy, even Sango had a few back problems from always tossing around Hirakotsu and getting thrown on the battlefiel. All the signs of everyone aging saddened me. It took a while to try and think of all the positive outcomes to growing older. New adventures, courtships, marriage, children, things of that nature.

Like little Rin, my playful Shippo, and Sango's little brother Kohaku.

After Lady Kaede's death I took over as Rin's tutor in the ways of human life and being a lady, something Lord Sesshomaru felt was very important she learn after Rin started asking why her chest was growing lumps. Pfft.

It seems like just the other day, Lord Sesshoumaru was traveling the countryside with his ever faithful little ward, retainer, and Ah and Un; while Shippo barely came to my knees and was using his fox magic to play tricks on people even Kohaku who was so shy when he was first revived. However, Rin came of age two summers ago and married soon after. It was one of the positive thoughts that I keep in mind when thinking about my friends aging. And it was truly a momentous occasion for the Inu-tachi. To no one's surprise Rin married and mated both Shippo and Kohaku, since those two had been wrestling for her attention since she came to the village after the defeat of Naraku. I would've thought I would have at least fifty more years before Shippo grew up, but apparently foxes can mature faster the more power they acquire.

It was quite comical actually sitting there in the hut I shared with Rin at the time, sipping tea when Kohaku and Shippo asked for Sesshomaru-sama for Rin's hand in marriage. Kohaku who always kept his emotion in check had been quite nervous and his eye was twitching, while Shippo was squirming under Lord Sesshoumaru's death glare ready to piss his pants. However, both swallowed it down and managed to get his approval. Little did they know Rin had already asked her father figure the night before and told him she'd run away and elope with them if he didn't acquiesce her request.

I was really grateful that she chose both and that they all could be happy together. I even received word that they had three children already, two sons and one daughter. 'Demon pregnancies sure are short.' Their first son is named Tsuyoshi, shockingly enough he was born a full blooded kitsune. Their second son is named Kiyoshi, for he was born pure and possessed the power to purify and was human.

This is when it became known of the latent power of a priestess that had been within Rin. Her power wasn't as strong so it was not detected by Lady Kaede when she was alive, or by myself. Following her two sons births, was her daughter Reika, and was born a kitsune. Her children all got along, even though they have different fathers. I hope they continue to have more children.

The truly remarkable thing I noticed, while I was still in Edo, was that as Rin got older I noticed the uncanny resemblance between Rin and I.

Although I never voiced it, I had an inkling that Rin may have been Kikyou's reincarnation and that I was Rin's reincarnation.

Rin and her two mates moved to the demon exterminator village with Miroku and Sango, who had seven more children over the past ten years. Miroku really went all out when he said will you bear my children. Sango still took to occasionally hitting him over the head with her hiraikotsu, but had started training her children in the art of demon slaying as well….at least when she wasn't pregnant. Kohaku helped train them when shis sister was too tired or pregnant to do so. Even Kirara even had a litter of her own. I also heard that a few demon slayers from the mountains came to reside with Sango and Miroku's village after their village was destroyed by a large group of mountain demons.

Lord Sesshoumaru returned to his domain since the fall of Naraku. I heard from Rin once that he is still training hard to master his Bakusaiga. I believe that Jaken is well, Rin told me he was okay last time I saw her, not that I had any really nice thoughts towards the kappa, who repeatedly talked ill of humans.

Though his soft spot for Rin and her family was noticeable to all in the village.

Kouga and Ayame mated and had six pups. Kouga's pack has been growing since they united the Northern and Eastern pack with Koga and Ayame's joining. Ginta and Hakkaku had taken over their own pack, though smaller than Kouga's. I was extremely happy for them. I had attended Ginta and Hakkaku's the celebration honoring them both for their brave acts in the Northern War.

After Lady Kaede's death, her two apprentices took over looking after the village. Then all that left was Inuyasha and I.

Inuyasha and I came to realize the feelings we had were now more like that of a brother and sisterly love. Or at least that's what we told ourselves. I gave up when I realized I would always remind him of his first love even if we had two very different personalities. Our faces would still be the same. He eventually mated another silver inu hanyou named Misaki. She was very pretty and was very nice when I last visited, but that was two summers ago. When I last visited Edo she was with pup.

Maybe it was a coward's move, but after a while I couldn't stay in the village of Edo any more.

I left Rin's tutoring to Sango and departed two moon cycles after the death of Lady Kaede. Her death really changed my mindset about life. It made me realize that the easy life is not what I wanted, that being a simple village priestess was not for me. Ever since the last battle against Naraku life had seemed dull except for Sango's kids and Shippo, but he came less and less with all the training he'd been undergoing to properly pursue Rin. And the children grew up so fast.

I was very happy when I visited Sango and Miroku, Kirara gifted me with her youngest kit.

After leaving the village, I met up with the hanyou children from Horai Island who'd been living with Jinenji. I adopted them and together we traveled before eventually making our own village. We helped do demon exterminations and bless other villages from lower level demons, but mostly explored through the countryside much like I used to when I first came to the feudal era….just without the crazy spider half-demon and sacred jewel shards empowering so many demons.

Which brings me to now.

Currently contemplating on whether or not I should go back to be a witness for Miroku and Sango's twin daughters coming of age ceremony. It's suposed to be held later on this summer, but I can't help but cringe when I start thinking about showing up now.

It has been nearly four years since I last saw them.

'Would the have wrinkles as a sign that they were aging?

Would the children in the village be all grown up?'

'What if something bad had happened since her departure?'

Some might think me crazy for my thoughts, after all, Sango is only twenty-seven, but I had a good reason for worrying. The reason was why I sometimes wanted to curse at the Kami's, because I had become something else.

The Shikon no Tama had changed me in the final battle inside the jewel.

When I wished for the jewel to disappear from this world, it did as it was commanded. It disappeared into the fate's dimension, where they felt it would be nice to merge it with my soul. Their words, "May you take this gift as a symbol of our love and gratitude," after that I felt everything in my world tilt and woke feeling better than I had in a long time.

Seven years after having been given the "blessing" I feel it is more like a curse.

Because upon that day I was given their blessing something happened.

Upon that day I was made Immortal.
