Hi my name is Kagome Higurashi. I was you average ninth grader, that is until I discovered that I could travel 500 years back in time through the ancient well at our shrine. The feudal era is full of all kinds of demons. And it was during this period that Inuyasha was bound to the sacred tree. Oh Inuyasha's father was a demon and his mother was human making him a half demon. He's very rough around the edges, and he's got a huge ego and a wicked temper. And did I mention how jealous he gets!? Totally hopeless! Well…I guess he has a few redeeming qualities. Before we met, Inuyasha was looking for the shikon jewel-the shikon jewel of the four souls. Then 50 years ago priestess Kikyo put a spell on him and fixed him to a tree. They'd been very close until something tore them apart. But that's a whole other story. The sacred jewel of the four souls can increase the power of demons. And it's all my fault that it was shattered into hundred of shards. Anyway, that's why Inuyasha and I were collecting the jewel shards. We have some dependable friends who helped us, a young fox demon named Shippo who uses his fox magic when ever there's trouble, and an amazingly talented demon slayer named Sango, and there's the flirtatious Miroku who has the cursed wind tunnel in his right hand. Then there's Sango's faithful companion, the two tailed demon cat, Kirara."Lady Kagome, come quick. I have something I want to show you." Kagome looked down at Rin. "Come on, lady Kagome. Me and lady Kaede found something amazing when we were picking herbs in the field."
"Okay. I'll be right there." Rin smiles and giggles. She starts to run in the direction were the sun was setting. Time has changed and people have changed. I miss the old times when the group was looking for the jewel shards, fighting weak and strong demons. But now, it's more calmer from what happened a few years ago. I wasn't able to see Inuyasha for three whole years since the day Naraku was killed and that I wished the shikon jewel to be destroyed for ever. But before that, Naraku's incarnations were killed Kagura, Kanna, and Hakudoushi. Kikyo died by Naraku, but she saved Kohaku and now he isn't under Naraku's control. He is alive with no shard in his back any more and is able to live his life again. Kohaku is Sango's younger brother who is also a demon slayer but they are the last demon slayers from their village. With the shikon jewel gone for good, it's more peaceful now. Shippo went off to train to become a powerful demon. Kohaku went off with Kirara to become a powerful demon slayer and helping others that are in trouble. Sango and Miroku are married with two 2-year-old twin girls, and a new born son. Rumor has it, that Koga married Ayame. Rin is staying with lady Kaede and Sesshomaru comes by often to visit her. Till Rin lives a little bit longer in the village of humans, then she can choose if she wants to stay or go with Sesshomaru. I've married Inuyasha right after high school and have been living with him in the feudal era.
"Lady Kagome, look!" Rin showed Kagome a very beautiful red flower with light blue strips on the sides.
"It's beautiful, Rin." Kagome smiled.
"Don't mind if I ask you this but were is lord Inuyasha?"
"Hm. He is off with Miroku looking for a good place to get food. Like maybe a market or something just to rip someone off. Why you ask?"
"You just look a little sad that's all." Kagome had a sad expression on her face. Rin had a frown expression while looking at the flower she just found. Which Kagome new something was bothering her. "Hey Kagome?"
"Hm, yes."
"Can I ask you a personal question? Like girl to girl."
"You can ask me any thing. I won't tell any one, I promise."
"Well recently, Jaken told me when Sesshomaru makes his empire, ill be long gone. I told him he is wrong and every thing, but I know it's true. Demons live longer then humans, but I don't know what to do." A tear rolled down her cold, soft cheek. "I WANT TO STAY WITH HIM FOR EVER!" She fell to her knees on the soft green grass. "He is the only one I have left that's family to me. My parents and the villagers are all gone because of those stupid bandits. There is no way their coming back." I know how she felt, she feels lost and alone. She said Sesshomaru is like family but more then that, like a father to her. It's weird because I know that Inuyasha went through the same thing, not having a family and all. He only has his brother which they want to kill each other. Then when he met me and the rest of our friends, it's like we have a family of our own then a group. We are there for one another. It must be hard for her, to be away from her only family.
"Rin, you shouldn't beat your self down. Don't listen to Jaken, he is probable wrong and you shouldn't listen to any one else then your self. A friend of mine went through the same thing, but he met very nice people and he is happy with his new family. Though there were hard times, their still friends and even better a family." Rin sniffed.
"Really?"
"Yes." Kagome helped her up. "Promise me this that when you get to see him, you enjoy the time you have with him. I know in fact that right now Sesshomaru is missing you too."
"Yes I promise and thank you Kagome."
"You're welcome."
"Well I better head back to lady Kaede's house."
"Bye Rin."
"Bye, thank you so much." They waved at each other. Just standing their, with the wind blowing through my hair, made me think about Inuyasha and I. What if something changed between us? Kagome saw a family walking together and they were happy. Inuyasha and I are happy together, but I have thought about us being able to have a family of our own. I just don't think he is up to it and I never talked to him about it either. All of a sudden, Kagome saw a soul collector in the sky heading toward the forest. I can't believe it, Kikyo is dead. There is no way she is still alive for all these years. Kagome started to run toward the forest in the same direction of the soul collector.
