Chapter 1- The Past 50 Years

Almost fifty years had passed since Kagome had left Inuyasha. She now lived as a pure demon miko with her mate Sesshomaru. She doesn't regret leaving Inuyasha, nor does she miss him. But she does have regrets for leaving her other friends in his care without saying goodbye.

Kagome sat in her favorite sakura tree. The smallest one in the very center of the orchard. A spring ran by just below the tree giving the area a calming affect.

Her mind wandered back to the years when she was a shard hunter. She remembered the good times she had with her friends. And the joyous defeat of their greatest enemy, Naraku. It was a great time for her. But not the life she looked for in her dreams.

She now lived her dream. She had someone who loved her and would protect her for life. She knew Inuyasha could fit that description easily, but he wasn't for her. She wasn't ever truely happy with him.

She knew the moment Sesshomaru saved her life that he was meant for her. It happened during their battle with Naraku.

Naraku had struck at her, aiming to kill, but was stopped by Sesshomaru's quick actions. Kagome didn't know where he came from or when he got there. She was just relieved that he saved her. And when the battle was over, Sesshomaru had denied Inuyasha the right to come near Kagome.

Inuyasha had changed during the battle. His lust for blood increased, though he still kept his self control and consciousness. His eyes had turned blood red and his fangs and claws grew considerably. Sesshomaru had told him that he's no company for a human girl. But Kagome had refused to go with the demon lord just yet saying she had to go home first and square things out there.

She headed back to the well fully aware of the two demon brothers "secretly" following along behind her. When she got home she informed her family that Naraku had been defeated and that she had decided to stay in feudal Japan permanently. They made arrangements for a fake death for her the following day. Kagome visited her friends one last time before heading home for the last dinner she would have with her family. The following morning she scrambled back down the well with her pack over her shoulder carrying her most valuable possessions.

Kagome exited the well back in feudal Japan to see Inuyasha and Sesshomaru in a blood war. Both were badly injured, though Sesshomaru had the upper hand, seeing as how Inuyasha's injuries from the previous fight hadn't healed all the way. But that didn't stop the death blows that came non-stop at the demon lord.

Inuyasha saw Kagome first and the look he gave her was murderous. His eyes glowed and his fangs were bared. The look almost sent Kagome back down the well from fright had she not been immediately pulled out by Sesshomaru. Inuyasha's death glare was the last thing the miko saw before she blacked out.

When Kagome woke, she was lying in a strange, but comfortable, bed in a beautifully decorated room. She looked around to see the demon lord sitting beside her bed looking thoroughly exhausted but relieved to see the girl awake. His injuries were far more intense then Kagome had remembered and he soon filled her in on what had happened while she was in her own era, and after, when she had blacked out. Kagome could hardly believe what the man was telling her, but she somehow knew to trust her x-enemy. So it was that Kagome started her life with her beloved Sesshomaru.

With the weeks that had followed, Sesshomaru had found a way to turn his human mate into a demon. It took nearly a year for the transformation to complete, but it was painless, so Kagome didn't mind. Every day she grew a little stronger, and with Sesshomaru's training, she quickly learned the ways of demons. Her miko abilities fully developed which helped increase her powers greatly.

Some years later, when Rin was fourteen, she too went through the transformation. Unluckily for Jakan, however. He, thinking that with the girl's transformation, was "free", so to say. Though he no longer had to care for her every human need, he was responsible for teaching her how demons act. And both Sesshomaru and Kagome had to admit that he was doing a good job at it. Rin's physical training was kept for Kagome, who all too eagerly took up training her.

The two had formed a sisterly bond, much to Sesshomaru's displeasure. He viewed Rin as a daughter type figure, therefore making Kagome the mother. And she did play the part when Rin was young, but as soon as the girl had grown, their relationship turned more friend-like. After some time Sesshomaru accepted it, realizing he couldn't change anything about it.

Kagome felt a familiar warmth approaching her. She remained silent and didn't look up, knowing full well who the being was.

"You're thinking about him, aren't you?"

Kagome finally looked down at her Sesshomaru who peered back up at her. Concern adorned his beautiful face as he waited for her answer.

She smiled and lightly drifted down to him in a relaxed sitting back position. He held out his arms and she landed softly in them, the air of lightness around her disappearing.

"I was a while ago. But not now." she said.

Sesshomaru smiled, the concern never leaving his eyes, as he turned and began walking back towards the castle, "Rin became worried when you did not return home for lunch. I believe she has something she wishes to show you. She refuses both Jakan and myself see it. I think she set another trap for Jakan. It really makes me wonder where she comes up with these ideas."

Kagome blushed at this, "well, she's only paying her respects to the toad for all he's done for her."

Sesshomaru looked at her and seemed to peer right through her. He frowned slightly, "why do you encourage her to do such things?"

"Because it takes encouragement for people to achieve things. If she doesn't win now and get her confidence up, she'll never have the courage to go into a life threatening battle with the hopes of winning." she answered.

"Yes, that is true. But why not have her set death traps for the servants instead?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Sessh, this is a young girl that used to be human. She hasn't killed a single creature in her entire life. The very idea would terrify her. She's not ready for killing yet. She's still a child. She still needs to have fun. Setting traps for Jakan is her idea of fun," Sessh gave her a skeptical look. Kagome sighed and continued, "when she is ready, and able to defend herself on her own, we'll set a trap for her. Nothing harsh. Just a taste of what could happen to her in the future. We'll set one of the east wing servants on her and see how well she does."

Sessh sighed, "you're too good of a mother for this... and you haven't even bared pups of your own yet!"

Kagome grinned, "aww, Rin loves you more then she does me. When we have our own pups I promise not to be such a good mother. Now stop sulking cause you know I'm right."

"I'm not sulking," Sessh said eyeballing her.

Kagome jumped down from his arms and ran backwards in front of him, "of corse you're not. You don't need a reason to look so sad like that."

A gleam of mischief fluttered into Sessh's eyes and he grinned. Kagome faltered seeing this and let her triumphant grin fade. A second later she realized his intentions and, squealing, ran for the hills.

Sessh chuckled and followed his prey carefully. In no time he was at her ankles, and though Kagome was laughing, she ran with all she had. Sessh reached out to grab her, inches from her flowing lavender fighting kimono. Kagome spotted a low branch and saw her opportunity to get away.

She lightened herself and jumped just as Sessh closed his hand, but on thin air. Kagome kicked off the low branch doing a back flip and landing behind her Sessh. Before he knew it, she had pounced on him and they both rolled, head long, into the tall grass.

They tumbled and Kagome allowed them to come to a stop with her mate landing on top. He looked down at her in confusion, wondering why she let him be on top, but the look was soon swept away at the smile on Kagome's face. He realized her plan in an instant, but ignored her triumphant grin as he proceeded with his earlier intentions.

Kagome squealed with laughter as she lay pinned to the ground with Sesshomaru sitting atop her, tickling her senseless. Her attempts to get free were put to vain as Sessh held her tight, finding joy in her sweet torture. Tears came to Kagome's eyes from laughing so hard and Sessh finally let her up.

He stood and helped Kagome to her feet, "we should get back. Rin probably thinks something happened to me too by now."

"Yeah," Kagome said still trying to get herself to stop laughing, " I don't need two sulking demons on my hands."

Sesshomaru pouted and Kagome gave him a serious look. She leaned forward examining his beautiful face. He glanced down at her, weary of what she was thinking & thinking of doing. Slowly, Kagome lifted a hand and, pointer finger extended, poked his cheek before quickly withdrawing it as though she never did anything.

Sessh smiled giving her a curios look, "what was that for?"

"It was me hoping to get you to smile. Obviously it worked!" Kagome said grinning.

Sessh's smile grew and he leaned down kissing Kagome on the lips. She melted into him and pouted when he pulled away all too soon for her liking. He smiled at the disappointed look on her face and took her hand in his.

"We must go," he said.

"You owe me big time, mr.!" Kagome said following him.

Sessh smirked, "we'll see."

"No fair!" Kagome said pouting more.

"Ha, look who's sulking now," Sessh grinned.

"I'm not sulking, I'm pouting!"

weeeeeeeee! tell me what you think! I know this skipped a lot on how she got to be with sessh, but info on what happened when she blacked out & some stuff on the fight with naraku will come up sometime in here.

PREVIEW TYPE THING: some1 from kagome's past comes to pay her a visit, but its not as joyous a visit as she would have hoped for. She recieves some good & bad news on whats happened to her friends durring her absense and how life has been for the shard hunting group. So look for that in the next chapter, or the one to follow. Lol, I don't know which one it'll be in cuz I havent written it yet. But I guarantee it'll be in one of the next few chapters! – 3
