She came back a day early. Even though she had studied hard for a test the night before, she realized that she would have no future in the, well, future. Through her pains and sorrows of studying for her history notes, she thought long and hard on the past herself. So she told her mother. Her mother didn't seem thrilled about the idea of her daughter leaving the present day era forever but she knew that Kagome's love would overcome any decision.

So she agreed to her daughter leaving. It was a painful goodbye full of tears and love, but they were ready for the day to come. And Kagome waved her last farewell to her family in the era she grew up in and knew so well to go through the bone-eater's well and be with the one she loved the most. Of course, she had not seen him since she had to leave the first time around, and was never expecting him to be there. This night was no different, and she climbed the well with her own strength.

The only reason she wanted to come back was for him. She loved him more than her own family, one that she would never see again. She thought about the positives of their relationship, even if his heart was owned by Kikyo. She knew that she would do whatever she could in order for his heart to stray the other way and love her for who she was, not who she comes from. Kagome stretched at the side of the well and smiled. It felt wonderful to be back in the time where she belonged, where people needed her too.

She saw the tree where they first met. Ever since Kagome met him at that tree, she thought that they were meant for each other, that there was some reason that they were brought together. Even before she knew about Kikyo, there was something in her heart that cried love. She sat down beside the tree and looked up at the night sky. The stars glittered and the moon shone down on the empty field where they first met. She always admired the view and always would remember.

Kagome rose from the tree and began walking back to Kaede's village. She was scared, for the most part, because of the demons lurking around at night and she was defenseless. She never wanted to bring her bow and arrow quiver home, mainly because of her friends possibly seeing her with her weapons. Might as well keep my secret hidden. But it was silent in the forest and she was able to listen to nature and perhaps the village only a mile ahead.

Then, something was caught in the corner of her eye. She turned her head to the right, where darkness only loomed and saw a spark of light. She didn't know whether to take note of the light or not, but noticed it going towards the same village. Kagome watched the light fly faster towards the village and soon disappeared in the darkness. She shook the thought away and continued on her adventure.

Soon enough, Kagome reached the village. She first saw Miroku and Sango on the outskirts of the village. They were shocked! "Kagome! You are home early!" Sango ran to her friend and smiled politely. Kagome nodded her head and looked at her friends. She admired her friends and their strengths, and always knew if there was something amiss just by looking at them. Miroku bowed in gratitude for Kagome and smiled to her as well.

"You are looking well, Lady Kagome," he said as he graciously took her hands. Sango slapped him on the side of the head and stared at her own lover. Miroku faltered in his stance and simply looked back at the woman that he loved so much. Kagome sighed at them; yes, everything was okay. Miroku started talking again, "Oh Sango, you know I could only love you!" Sango blushed a fierce red and turned away from him.

"And yet your perverted antics still come out whenever I seem to be around," she angrily mumbled under her breath. Miroku began to laugh and Sango grunted. Kagome smiled at her friends and the way they loved each other. She only wished for that to happen with her and Inuyasha. Even just thinking about it made her heart pound against her chest! Although, there's something different with that. She shrugged it away and began to talk to her friends again. Before that, however, she saw the string of light again.

There it is again! Kagome looked at her friends and excused herself. Sango and Miroku stopped and watched their friend speedily walk towards the hut where the light was heading for. Miroku looked at Sango and whispered, "Why didn't we tell her?" Sango looked to the ground and sadly sighed. Sango didn't have the heart, to tell you the truth; she couldn't hurt her friend just after coming back. Miroku placed his arm around her shoulder and let her lean into his body. He knew the tears would come soon enough.

Kagome saw the light enter a hut. It is the hut that I usually come back to, where Inuyasha usually camps! She began to worry. What if something was wrong with Inuyasha? Did Kaede put a spell on him again? She started to run. She didn't know why she couldn't just walk, but her heart wanted to know if he was okay. She would die if something serious happened to him and she was unaware about it.

She was always the worrier if something happened to him in battle or if he was simply emotional about something. Lately, she had been noticing a tempered side of him and he was always a little touchy on certain matters. But she usually ignored it and continued with her day with Shippo. Oh, Shippo! He must be worried sick about me! Kagome reached the intersection of different huts and turned to her right, towards her own home. Shippo was outside the house, waiting for something.

He looked up and saw his friend, his own companion and who he always thought was his mother. He jumped up and ran towards her. "Kagome! You're back!" Inuyasha's ears twitched from inside the hut, but he did not move. Shippo leapt into her arms and she hugged the life out of him. "Oh, Shippo, I missed you!" Shippo leaned away from her chest and looked her straight in the eyes. Oh, she was so happy! He didn't want her to be heartbroken. Not like that.

"Come on, Kagome! Let's go down by the river and have a bath!" He smiled. She smiled and set him down on the ground. "Sorry, Shippo, I have to see something first, then I'll be right out to go take the bath. Okay?" He sadly nodded and sat back down on the ground, waiting for her again. Kagome walked past the little demon and he began to listen to the horror he was about to hear. Kagome, don't cry! Kagome began to pick up speed and soon enough, she ran into the home.

"Inuyasha! I'm ba-" Suddenly, her feet stopped. Kagome looked down at the ground and saw him looking down at Kikyo, who was sleeping against his chest. Kagome stood there, bangs over her eyes and pain written across her face, along with her heart simply breaking over the scene. Kagome felt the light leave the hut; it was simply a soul stealer. She chased a light that meant nothing and she shouldn't have chased in the first place. Inuyasha made no attempt of talking, and Kagome could only respond with: "I'm back."

So, as you are aware, this is the new and improved Blossoms into Love. I deleted the old version, mainly because I hated how it started out, and I didn't want to deal with trying to write a chapter for something I hated. So, this is the new start for the story.

Yes, this is a Sesshomaru and Kagome fanfiction. If you do not want to read this, don't read it.

The first few chapters will be about Kagome and Inuyasha, though. Sesshomaru won't be coming around until the fifth chapter (maybe?) so these first few chapters will be pretty slow. That, and it'll be about Kagome's heartbreak (UGH) and all these different conversations and stuff with Kikyo, Inuyasha, and the rest. But, I don't want to spoil anything.

If you read the old Blossoms into Love, uh, you will know what's going to happen. If not, boy, are you guys in for a treat. Dun dun dunnn.

Anyway! I hope you enjoy! Because I certainly enjoy re-writing stories (NOT IN A MILLION YEARS) and I would love to hear how I'm doing in terms of writing.

Oh, by the way, my goal for this story? I hope for 25-30 chapters. But, it might be slow, so it might be 35-40 chapters. Ugh. Another goal is to have chapters 3000-4000 words long (EACH) because I really cannot stand chapters that are less than 2000 words (This chapter doesn't count because, well, this is like a prologue to everything). Huh. Must be a pet peeve of mine..But, that's it from me!

Until next time!
