This time it was different.

Even during the worst of times, her daughter would come home with the long haired boy she loved, alive, happy, bright.

To Mama Higurashi, to see that blazing sun cool into a darkening nova, it cut deep. So deep she thought her heart might shatter.

This time it was different.

Instead of a boy, a long silver haired man followed her daughter into the house. Somehow he had pulled her from the void to become a reflection of himself.

Whereas he was the cold moon waning, Kagome had become the full moon shining.

She never asked her daughter what had happened, as she figured it rather quickly.

This new person in their lives stood quite tall among them, a beacon of frozen light that brought her daughter back to her whole.

This time it would be different.
