I Am the Wind

Prologue

Years have gone by since Naraku was defeated and the Shikon no Tama returned to its original form. Now that all was well...now that there was nothing eto worry about, his thoughts turned to her. About the past.

"Are you going...?"

"Yeah...it's fine...In the end...I met with you..." Her last words. The final words that she spoke. The one he could not save. Yet each time the wind blew through those long silver locks he knew she was watching. Though he could never admit it, that simply was not enough. It figured that she had to die for him to actually realize those locked up feelings.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" A small voice would call after him. With a deep sigh he would shake his thoughts away and turn to the girl who ran behind him in an attempt to catch up.

"Rin, don't fall behind." Would be his only words to the child before he moved onward with his pace slightly slower. Suddenly he came to a halt as he looked upon a well.

This forest.... He thought as he recognized his surroundings. He had been here once or twice to be sure his brother was still alive. How else could he have gotten to Tetsaiga? It was a shame that he was sealed to the tree for so long.

This well has the scent of that girl...Kagome was it? Deciding to ignore that one strange fact, he turned to leave when he heard something in the well. Slowly he turned and his eyes widened for a mere millisecond so no one could have picked it up. A girl, Kagome climbed out of the well. That was not what surprised him-thought it was something he did not expect- but it was the girl who followed her.

Kagura? No...this girl is human and her eyes are not red. He thought keeping his emotionless dispositon while witnessing the other two.

"You shouldn't have followed me." Kagome scolded the girl before looking up at Sesshoumaru. The girl snorted and followed Kagome's gaze.

"Such a pretty man." The girl murmured.

Author's note: I couldn't stand the thought of Kagura and Sesshoumaru not ending up together! So I'm just making myself feel better with this story. Sorry it's so short but I hate long prologues.
