Kagome stood with her graduating class smiling as her mom took pictures. She couldn't have felt happier. Naraku had been defeated a little over a year ago thanks to Sesshomaru's help. His attack distracted the evil hanyou long enough for her arrow to make the killing blow while simutaneously purifying the half of the Shikon jewel Naraku had in his chest.

Three years had passed now since she had begun her mystical travels through time into a time where demons, half-breeds, dragons, witches, monks and mikos all exsist. In that time magic was real and true terrible evil was really real. It was nothing like the time she was born into the air in the fuedal era was cleaner, fresher and the stars in the sky more beautiful than in the future and more noticable.

But since than her studies had been damaged for a time. And yet this year she had studied extra hard and got higher grades for her last year in school. Yet with the vigerous attentions to her duty in the future she also noticed a few downfalls. Such as Sango and Inuyasha had both pretty much stopped talking to her and when they did it was short and to the point. It made her wonder what she had really done to deserve such treatment.

Kagome ignored her thoughts as she filed off stage with the rest of her class. The ride home was quiet, all in the car knew now that Kagome was free she was going to fly away. They had all known she would stay in the past it was where she really belonged but Kagome's mom Ai knew she had to tell Kagome the truth. Kagome glanced at her mother and grandfather and than wondered where her little brother Souta was so she asked her mom.

"Where is Souta?"

Her mother replied in a soft sad voice, "He was sad after you left to go to the graduation so he took off to a friends house. He said he wouldn't say goodbye to you because he knows he will see you soon. How weird is that boy?"

Kagome started replying as they all got out of the car "I understand and it was his choice tell him I love him and I'll do my best." Ai nodded and went up the stairs looking back when her daughter stopped to look around her.

'I know I'm going to miss this place but, it doesn't feel right for me to be in this time any more I feel a pull far stronger need to be there where I'm needed.' Kagome thought as she started walking heading behind her mother.

"Kagome, I need to speak to you dear. Its about when you were born. Will you please sit down?" Ai asked her daughter softly almost timidly, Kagome had never heard her mom sound that way.

Sitting down she waited for what her mother was going to say. After ten minutes of her mom just staring at her Kagome finally asked.

"What's wrong mom?"

"Kagome you are technically adopted. Your biological father and mother broght you through the well and told me to take care of you. That is until your considered an adult which you are now so I must tell you this." Ai sighed and then continued at a faster speed, " They said that you are the last of the black dog demon and that if you are not recognized in the fuedal era by your mate by your eighteenth birthday you will stay human and not be able to be your true self."

***fuedal era***

"We have to tell her soon love. If we don't tell her it will be worse when she does find out." Sango said.

"I know but what if she leaves. We can't loose her Kagome is important she is what brought us all together!" Inuyasha said aggitated. They had discussed this many times in the last year.

"Well he is waiting in the village you go there and I'll wait for Kagome." Sango replied giving Inuyasha a peck on the lips. He nodded and took off. Sango sighed and sat on the lip of the well to wait her friend to let her know of a few important matters.

**Future**

Kagome smiled and waved good bye to Ai and Ji-chan. Turning around she jumped into the blackness of the well and into the past one more time. She knew what she had to do to find her true love.

Once her feet gently touched down on the soil she breathed in deeply of the fresh air that was so different than the other time she had just came from. This was her home where she belonged she wasn't Kikyo's reincarnation she had just housed a piece of Kikyo's soul because of the jewel and nothing else.

Climbing up the vines she looked up to see Sango. That was a surprise. But she looked worried and bothered. Was something wrong? Had someone been hurt? Or worse?

"Sango what's the matter?" She asked rappidly.

Sango looked up and it came pouring out, "Inuyasha and I have fallen in love yet we have yet to proceed into mating because we wished to tell you but we didn't know how. I'm sorry."

"I'm happy for you guys. Does Miroku know?" Kagome asked to make sure.

"Yes he does I told him last night and he has a surprise of his own. He wants us to hurry to the hut. Come on."

As soon as they got to the hut Miroku introduced Kagome to his wife-to-be Miah. Everyone was uncomfortable except Kagome and she wondered why.

"Miah is Ayame's younger twin sister." Miroku said to explain where he met her from.

Kagome sighed at how awkward everyone was being. She couldn't stop herself her question went flying.

"What's going on you guys? Why is everyone so apprhensive today?" She almost demanded.

At that moment Inuyasha stepped into the hut and was about to explain when a soft baritone voice as smooth as silk rumbled behind her the answer she had demanded.

" I am here to speak with you Kagome. I wish to court you if you will allow it?" Sesshomaru asked.

Stepping away from her slightly he looked over her gorgeous body. She had long slender legs, round healthy hips, nicely toned tummy, lush ass and generous breasts. Her hair was dark and long, her eyes a gorgeous silver and her lips as dark as the reddest rose.

Kagome felt the pull to be with him and before she knew it she had answered.

"I would like that very much my lord. But if you are not in this for love... I will not be in it at all"

She offered everyone tea and as she was handing it out she realized that everyone was still uncomfortable except Sesshomaru and herself. "Seriously, why is everyone so uncomfortable with this?"

"Its not that we are shocked its more that we don't know why suddenly he is so determind as to ask you know after almost two years of him tripping on himself to be near you? Its suspicious!" Inuyasha said as he folded his arms in his kimono.

"How long have you known?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Since you started changing and being more open I caught a few of your looks. I just want to know what took you so long to ask her?" Inuyasha replied seriously.

"When I traveled with you before the defeat of Naraku, I had helped Kagome with her school work and she told me she had one more year left before she had no more duties in her time. I was simply not trying to add pressure to her work there." Sesshomaru explained calmly.

"So are you going to be traveling with us again?" Kagome asked.

"If you wish." Sesshomaru answered to which Kagome nodded her head before heading to lay down. After saying a quick goodnight she was out like a light.
