Hey, everyone! I'm Kitpup. This is my first SessxKag fanfic but I have written plenty of fanfics before. I'm currently working on Through the Stones which is a Lawlu fanfic but I recently read a fanfic called Mirrored by MBtheDREAMwiz and I fell in love with the idea this author had. It's been stuck in my head since I read it so I thought I'd give it a try. The idea is the Inuyasha characters with reverse roles. Simple but amazing results. I had issues with the title since I wanted it to be something similar to Mirrored in dedication to the ordinal so I ended up with Antithesis which means the direct opposite of someone or something. I thought that was perfect but if you disagree, let me know what you think I should call this. So, this is going to be a little different from Mirrored but it will hold onto the character choice. So Sesshomaru will have Inuyasha's roll. He will be a hanyo with puppy ears. And Kagome will be the great priestess who has passed that Sesshomaru loved. You will find out the roles in time. If you have read Mirrored then you may already know who is going to have whose role. Another thing before I let you start reading is that I will kind of be rushing the first few chapters. I want to get Kagome in since this is a SessxKag fic and I don't want to waste my time writing out events that you already now. With that said, enjoy!

Chapter 1

Kagome gazed down lovingly at her new born babe. She was beautiful in her eyes. Fair skin, bright brown eyes and small dark hair sprouted from the top of her head. Tears welled up her eyes as she watched her young one cry her first breath of life. She had waited nine months to meet her child and now that she was here, she had no idea what to name her.

Dark cold eyes watched Kagome as she had her moment with her daughter. After all this time, the cursed child was finally born. She shouldn't have even existed. Yet, he knew that he could not harm the child for she is a part of Kagome, the woman that he loved dearly.

"Have you thought of a name for her, yet?" he asked.

Kagome finally tore her eyes away from her crying child to see her old friend, Hojo, next to her. If it wasn't for him, her child may never have had the chance to live. Smiling sadly, Kagome shook her head gently.

"No. Every time I look at her I see him and any name that I have thought of suddenly seems unworthy of her."

Hojo frowned at the mentioned of him. The child's father no doubt. He was not brought up often but Hojo knew that he plagued his love's mind more often then he liked. Still, he was a patient man. He knew that he would win her heart in the end. After all he was kind to her and all that man did was betray her.

"I have an idea." Hojo informed her. "We can use the Shikon no Tama to rid her of her evil side so that she can be normal. Then we can all live together as if he was never in the picture to begin with. As a normal family."

Kagome's eyes grew sad. "Hojo- "

"After all, with the jewel gone, you can be freed from it. And then we can finally be together."

"Hojo- "

"It's the perfect plan. I can then be her father and you will be my wife- "

"Hojo!"

Tears fell down Kagome's checks as she stared at him eyes filled with agony. "I'm sorry Hojo. I don't feel the same as you do."

"But you can learn! Just give us some time."

Kagome gently shook her head. She gazed down at her child, who has stopped crying at this point, and pet her child's head as she answered his unspoken question of why. "Even though he betrayed me, I still love him. I will probably always love him. So, you see Hojo, I cannot love another when there is already someone else in heart."

Hojo's eyes darkened. He looked down at his lap as he made a life altering decision. "So, you will never love me?"

"I'm sorry, Hojo."

"So be it then." Hojo whispered darkly.

"Hojo?"

Without warning Hojo pushed Kagome down and strangled her with his bare hands. The babe fell out of Kagome's arms during the struggle screaming her little lungs out. Kagome tried to pry his hands from her neck but she was already weak from child birth.

"H-Hojo." She struggled against him but it was no use. Her vision grew hazy before everything went black. Her arms grew slack and eventually fell to the floor.

500 years later

Kikyo Higurashi was your average fifteen-year-old high schooler. Her grades were fair and she lived in a very old shrine with her grandfather and younger sister, Kaede. Since her parents died when she was young, she was forced to help out at the shrine in exchange for living there. She mostly had a business type relationship with her grandfather but she loved her sister very much.

That was why when she saw her sister in destress in front of the old well house, she immediately came to her rescue. "What's wrong, Kaede?"

Kaede looked up at her in slight surprise. Kaede was around the tender age of ten but she already had an eyepatch over her right eye and small, almost invisible, scars on her face. When Kaede was only two years old her parents got in a car crash that ultimately killed them and left Kaede disfigured. Kikyo was with her grandfather at the time so she did not suffer from any such injuries.

"Big sister! Buyo went inside while I was cleaning the well house but he hasn't left. I don't want to lock him inside but I can't find him either."

Kikyo smiled gently as she patted her sister's head to calm her nerves. "Not to worry, Kaede. I'll help you look for him."

"Thank you, big sister!"

Kikyo entered the well house with her sister in tow. While Kaede searched above, Kikyo went down the stairs to search near the well. The Bone Eaters well has been covered up for nearly a century so there was no need to worry about the cat falling inside of it. Yet, when Kikyo walked closer to it, she heard scratching noises coming from inside of it.

"I found him sister!" Kaede called out with Buyo secured in her arms.

Kikyo smiled and turned to the stairs but before she could reach them, the well burst open and pale slender arms came flying out of it. They grabbed her and pulled her down into the well. Before Kikyo passed out she heard her sister scream her name.

When she came to, Kikyo found herself laying at the bottom of the well. She stood up with care and gazed up at the sky. It took her a moment to wonder why she was staring at the sky and not the ceiling of the well house.

"Kaede!?" Kikyo shouted yet she received no reply.

With no other options Kikyo grabbed a vine and began to climb out of the well. It took her some effort for she was never good at physical exercises but she eventually climbed out of the well only to find herself outside.

"How odd." She mumbled to herself. She began to look around for anything that would be familiar until eventually she saw the Sacred Tree of her shrine in the distance. Surely her home must be nearby if the Sacred tree of ages was there.

Kikyo walked towards the tree. She had to push her way through some bushes that scratched up her arms but it wasn't long for her to find herself standing in front of the tree.

She stood there in surprise. Kikyo knew from the beginning that something was wrong. First the well house was missing and the shrine was gone but now there was a man pinned to the Sacred Tree of ages.

He was a handsome man too. He had long flowing white hair and fair skin. Upon closer inspection, Kikyo saw that he had a purple crescent moon on his forehead and two magenta stripes on each of his checks. But the most remarkable characteristic that Kikyo found was the puppy dog ears that rested on top of his head.

"How peculiar." Kikyo whispered.

"Have you come to finish me off, Kagome?" the man asked with a soft enchanting voice. His eyes were now open to reveal golden eyes with slit pupils.

Kikyo looked at him with confusion. "Excuse me? My name is not Kagome. It's Kikyo."

The man closed his eyes once more as a smirk spread on his lips. "You cannot fool me. I'd recognize you anywhere."

Kikyo's short temper flared. "Well, obviously, you wouldn't since I am indeed not this woman that you speak of."

Before either of them could say anything more on this matter a demon suddenly appeared and used her long body to trap Kikyo against the man that was pinned to the tree.

"You cannot escape from me, Shikon no Tama!" the demon screamed out.

Kikyo turned her head around to see the demon behind her better. Though its body was a snake the top part of her was a woman with long black hair.

"What are you talking about!? What do you mean by Shikon no Tama!?"

"Sota! Snake Mistress has taken a captive and it seems that Sesshomaru has awoken!" a man behind the demon screamed out. Along with the man was a whole group of men that looked like they came from a poor town. Among them was a middle-aged priest.

"That cannot be! Sesshomaru should have been asleep for all of eternity!" the priest called out.

"I'll devour you whole, Shikon no Tama!" the demon declared before she bit into the right side of Kikyo's stomach. Kikyo screamed out in pain. The demon then flung her head back, ripping out a chunk of Kikyo's flesh. Out of her body flew a pink jewel that landed in the grass.

All the men gasped in shock at what they saw.

"The Shikon no Tama!" the priest screamed out.

"It is as I thought." The demon announced. Kikyo's blood ran down her mouth to her chin. "She had it hidden within her body." Before anyone could stop her, she leaned down and ate the jewel.

Kikyo watched in horror as the snake demon shed its skin and revealed an even more hideous form. Her pale skin washed away and became ugly brown scales. Her eyes bleed red and her teeth turned razor sharp.

"At last! My powers are complete!" the demon screamed out in happiness.

Kikyo looked away in disgust.

"Hey" the man called out to her. Kikyo looked at him in answer. "Can you pull out this arrow?"

"The arrow?" Kikyo looked at the said arrow in question. From what she can tell it was the only thing that kept him pinned to the tree. Except for the demon that tied the two of them together, of course.

"It's a sacred arrow that has sealed me to this tree. Release me and I will kill that demon. Don't and she will kill us both."

Kikyo stared at the arrow. She had a feeling that freeing this man would have dire consequences but then again what other choice did she have? So, without another thought, Kikyo reached up and pulled out the arrow from his chest. It disappeared in a bright pink light once it was freed.

Without warning, Sesshomaru sliced through the demon, freeing them both from her clutches.

"What!? How did you escape!?" the demon exclaimed in fear.

Instead of answering the woman, Sesshomaru used his light whip from his fingertips to end the demon existence in one move. Pieces of her rained down as Kikyo watched Sesshomaru in awe.

"The jewel, girl, do you see the jewel!?" the priest called out.

Kikyo look at him confusion before realizing that he must have been talking about the jewel that the demon had swallowed. She took a quick look around before finding a small round object glowing within one of the pieces of the demon's body. Filled with disgust, Kikyo pulled out the jewel and once she did the demons body burned away to nothing but bones.

"Thank- " Kikyo began to thank the man that had saved her life only to find him gone. "I wonder where he went."

"That was Sesshomaru. A great and powerful hanyo that you just released." The priest kneeled next to her with a grim expression on his face. "And by doing so, you just condemned us all to die."
