The group attacked him quickly. He dodged and Kagura sent 'Dance of Blades' at them. Inuyasha used 'Backlash Wave,' sending the attack away, not realizing, or caring that Kagome was standing directly in front of him. She quickly placed a barrier around herself, having mastered her abilities with the help of Miroku, Kaede, and Sesshomaru. She drew her sword, dropped the barrier, and killed an oncoming demon. She headed towards him, Sesshomaru behind her. Together, they defeated Naraku, but Kagome was fatally wounded.

"MAMA‼" Shippo hurried from his hiding spot and ran to her. Miroku and Sango hurried to their friend's side. Inuyasha went to Kikyo, holding her lovingly. Sesshomaru went to Kagome's side. "Please…please, save my mama…" Tears poured from their eyes, save Sesshomaru's, Inuyasha's and Kikyo's, who looked smug.

Sesshomaru saw this from the corner of his eye and he snarled slightly. He ripped his wrist open and held it above her wound. The wound healed and she began thrashing. Sesshomaru held her down and when she calmed, he released her. She remained unconscious. He gathered Kagome and Shippo to him when Inuyasha decided to speak.

"Where the hell do you think you're taking them? They aren't going anywhere with you‼"

Sesshomaru used his whip on him, with enough poison to knock him unconscious. He gathered them and took off to his castle. Upon arriving, he placed her on a bed with Shippo next to her, before leaving.

The next morning, Shippo woke to find Kagome still sleeping. He saw a maid with a young 'child' holding onto her outfit. The maid noticed his wakefulness and said, "Good morn, young sire. My daughter and I have been sent to work with you and the missus." She bowed slightly, trying not to dislodge her little one.

"Has my mama woke up yet?"

They shook their head. Shippo stood and the maid, Lila, told her daughter, Mina, to go and take Shippo to breakfast. After he ate, he went outside to play with Rin and, permitted, Mina.

When night fell, Sesshomaru went into her room, to see her in a corner far from Lila. Sesshomaru dismissed her and walked to Kagome. She noticed and shook her head, trying to scoot further away. He grabbed her wrists and pulled her up, "what is wrong with me Sess? I feel so hungry and yet food unsettles my stomach."

He gathered her in his arms. "This one doesn't know. This one's blood may have made a mistake during your change, combined with your spiritual energy…"

She nuzzled her face into his shoulder and inhaled before pulling away quickly. Sesshomaru pulled her back. "Forgive me Sesshomaru…" Before he could question her, she sank her teeth into his neck, causing him to freeze until he accepted it.

"Vampire," he whispered softly, causing Kagome to try to pull away. Sesshomaru held the back of her head. When she went slack, he let her go. She pulled away and asked, "Why did this happen, Sess?"

They heard an old voice, "because you were meant to be one."

500 Years Later

"Finally," she said, "I can see my human family once more."

Sesshomaru 'hned' at her; "Yes, you can see them once more." They headed up the stairs to the shrine. Mama Higurashi was sweeping the sidewalk, while Sota was sweeping the stairs. "Mother, Sota…"

They both looked up and Sota flung himself into Kagome's arms. "Sis…we thought you were dead…"

She shook her head. "No, just lost in time."

Mama Higurashi walked over and hugged Sota and Kagome. "Didn't…?"

Kagome tightened her hold on her. "It's been a while mama, Sota. Five hundred years to be exact." They hugged her tighter before Kagome pulled away. "Mama, Sota, I want you to meet my teacher, adopted brother, and the best protector and Lord anyone could have, Sesshomaru Taisho. Sesshomaru, my mother, Shayla, and my brother, Sota…"

He inclined his head to them. Mama Higurashi released Kagome and hugged him. After a few minutes, Mama H. released him and they headed in to catch up.

Two years later, Kagome was fed up with humans and their behaviors. Mama H. recommended going to Cross Academy, which had Kagome perking up. Sesshomaru arranged everything and she was off to her new school. Headmaster had everyone outside close to dusk and they watched a limo pull into the drive.

"Remember now; be on your best behavior. The woman's brother is a very influential man in everyone's society. Behave and be polite." As the limo stopped, they waited but no one stepped out. A few minutes later, two doors opened and a female with long raven-colored hair, blue eyes with specks of gold and red in them and a male, with long white hair and gold eyes stepped out. The males and females gaped at them, awestruck. The female looked around and saw Kaien and glomped him.

"Kaien!"

He was confused.

"Kagome…" the female, now known as Kagome, pouted and released him.

"You're so mean Sesshomaru."

He smirked, getting more gasps. "I'm supposed to be."

She stepped away only for Kaien to grab her arms. "Kagome…the same one who saved me years ago?"

Kagome beamed at him. "Hello, Kaien Cross; it's been a while." Kagome hugged him before she pulled away, causing Kaien to pout. "Who are these two behind you Kaien?"

"Ah, my dear, these are Yuki, my adopted daughter, and Zero, my ward."

Kagome leaned over and whispered in his, Kaien's, ear, "he's becoming a vampire."

Kaien startled and Kaname looked in her direction. Sesshomaru said "come, let's talk in your office Cross."

"Yes, yes; Yuki, Zero get the Day Class to their dorms and the Night Class also. Lessons have been cancelled for the day. Kaname, we need you to come with us."

They headed to Kaien's office. Kaien sat in his seat. "First, which class will you be in?"

Her eyes flashed red. "It would have to be Night, dear Kaien, as I'm not human anymore."

"How..?" he asked, sitting up straighter.

"Due to an ancient artifact, I was sent five hundred years in the past…in the end, I was fatally wounded, Naraku was dead. Sesshomaru, at the begging of Shippo, saved me, dripping his blood into my wounds. However, it didn't change me correctly and I became a vampire. I was also trapped five hundred years in the past. "

Sesshomaru said, "We tried the relationship thing but it hadn't worked out, what with her being so bull-headed so we thought it best to remain friends, and later siblings."

She picked back up, glaring at Sesshomaru. "After five hundred years, I was finally reunited with mother and Sota. For two years, I tried to fit in with humans when I never would again, and mama suggested here. That was two days ago."

They sat in silence for a few minutes.

Kaname spoke first. "You are the Shikon Miko?" Kagome nodded once.

Kaien stood in front of the window. "That scar that was on your side…"

"…is still there and was the beginning of my adventures, five hundred twelve years ago."

"From..?"

"A centipede demon; she sensed the jewel in my side and ripped it out, pulling me into the past."

Kaien went to her side and pulled up her shirt, exposing the scar. Kaname saw it and thought 'she can protect my Yuki.'

She stepped back from Kaien, hurting his feelings, "Kagome…"

She shook her head, saying, "darlin you smell too good."

Sesshomaru snapped his head towards her. "You haven't feed in two weeks…"

"…and blood tablets don't help me."

Kaname asked "why won't they..?"

"They were made to serve Purebloods and Aristocrats, not a Demonic Vampire with Miko Abilities. Until they make such a thing, only the source will help."

"Would you be able to refrain from drinking from a human?"

"Yes…"

Sesshomaru demanded "goblet." Kaien got one for him and handed it to him. "Kagome put up a barrier. I'll not have the vampires in a frenzy."

She closed her eyes and a moment later a barrier appeared. Kagome gripped Kaien's desk, leaving the indent of her fingers.

Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed on her and he demanded, "What have you been doing that you can't last your normal month without blood?"

"Rogue…puppet…E…"

He flashed to his humanoid form and used his claw to cut open his wrist, letting it drip into the goblet. Kaien and Kaname were confused as to her reply, so Sesshomaru explained, "a Rogue Demon was using a Level E Vampire as a Puppet." She nodded once. He handed her the goblet and she quickly drank it. He refilled it thrice times, with her drinking the third one slower. "Do you feel better now, Kagome?"

She nodded, laying her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Sess…"

He shook his head. "It's my fault. Finish that one and I'll give you two more."

"Sess…"

"Do not argue with me. The more you drink, the less you'll need blood Kagome. Either I or Shippo will be here. If we can't get here, you lock yourself in your room or somewhere alone. Now, we've been here long enough. It's time to go, my dear."

She nodded, finishing her goblet of blood. She chuckled. "Now I feel sloshy." He smirked; Kaien laughed. Sesshomaru and the trio stood, heading back outside to the limo, once she lowered the barrier. He kissed her forehead before getting in. She inclined her head. He returned the acknowledgement before leaving. Kagome turned towards Kaien and smirked. "Well, I guess I'll say goodnight."

He cupped her cheek. "I will see you soon."

Kaname interrupted. "Perhaps, Headmaster, you should make her a prefect. One, she already knows about vampires and two, you'll see her more often."

Kagome arched a brow at him and smirked, knowing his reasoning. "Splendid idea! What say you Kags?"

She smiled. "Yes, that will be fine, dear."

He smiled and clapped. "Wonderful! I will see you tomorrow after your class."

She smiled, nodding, and Kaname lead the way to the Moon Dorm. "You love him."

She smiled. "I have since I've known him. That man is two hundred years old."

"I know; have you told him?"

"I could ask you that. Have you told Yuki that you love her? Or that you are siblings?" He stopped. She held up her hands. "I sensed it and I can see your aura."

He continued onward. "No, I haven't told her either."

"My guess is for the same reason I haven't." He arched a brow at her. "To protect them; Sesshomaru's brother and his mate are still after me. His-Kaien's-genes keep him from aging, though he's not immortal to death. I am; one because of what I am and two because of the artifact."

He nodded. They entered the dorm gates and the other vampires were lurking.

Ruka came and stood in front of her. "What are you to Lord Kaname?"

Kagome shrugged, "a friend, an ally…and his godmother."

Everyone froze, including Kaname.
