DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha! 3

Chapter One: Lost in the Hands of Time

Izanagi, the creator of life, Inari, the kami of love, Omioikane, the kami of wisdom, and Hachiman, the kami of war, all four of these gods gathered together to discuss the fate of one certain miko.

"I hope we all know the subject?" Izanagi's loud voice boomed out in the dark space the gods were sitting in. Every being in the room turned to acknowledge the creator. Assuming the silence meant yes, he continued. "As the future has been foretold, this girl is the savior of time. Only she can choose the correct path to lead to the succeeding outcome. The test we have set out has been defeated, in other words, Naraku has fallen back to the depths of hell. Two paths as of now have been paved for the young girl to follow, one leads to her great demise, and the other leads to the survival of all demons in the world. Hachiman, I trust that you have seen what the upcoming war will lead to should she choose the wrong future."

"Yes. Any demon that even happens to glance at the miko dies. I had feared that nothing would stop what should happen, but it seems that there may be a chance, we just have to give the girl a small… push… to the right direction." Hachiman's words echoed deeply into the depths of the blackness.

Inari stepped forward the include her thoughts on the process, "Hear me out, as you have said Izanagi, the girl has two choices, it just so happens that the nudge she needs can be taken care of in my department. Inu no Tashio's son Sesshomaru, seen by many people as heartless and cold, has wormed his way into Kagome's heart unknowingly by both. I sense that if I tug her heart in the direction of the daiyoukai, she will fall in love and save all of time." The goddess's green floral print kimono brushed against the dark floor as she spoke her thoughts.

Feeling everyone has shared the extent of their thoughts, Omioikane decided to bring the meeting to an end. "It is decided then, we shall have the miko go to the lord of the west." Without so much as a glance in anyone's direction, the god strode away from the group.

'Sure, the kiss was nice, and I had been waiting for Inuyasha to finally give into his heart and love me, but it just didn't feel right… I just wanna go home to mama'. As the miko neared the well, her senses tingled that something terrible had happened. As if to prove her fears, the well had been smashed to bits. "No no no, this just CAN'T be happening right now. It can't!" Heartbroken, the miko fell to the ground, heart pounding in her throat as a certain hanyou loomed over her.

"Ha, now you can't go back to that disgusting 'home' of yours; you have to stay here with me." Inuyasha grinned in supposed accomplishment. All of that was quickly wiped away as he watched the furious girl rise with her bow notched, and aimed straight at his heart.

"Why? Why did you ruin my last bit of happiness Inuyasha? My family was on the other side of the well! Do you not have a heart anymore, or did you not have one in the first place and were planning this all along? UGH! OSUWARI!" Instantly, the dog boy came face planting to the ground. "Be glad I didn't fire this arrow, I really wanted to murder you. Enjoy your fucking life without me bastard." With her bangs covering her tear-ridden eyes, the miko strode off further into the forest with no plans on where to go. Unbeknownst to her person, a pair of familiar gold eyes watched her from afar, studying her every movement. The smell of her tears overwhelmed the man causing his beast to resurface from it's chains.

'She is the one. She will be this one's mate.' The untamed part of Sesshomaru growled through his veins, trying to gain control of the body.

'Calm beast, we have no need for a silly ningen, we have too much on our hands to deal with at the moment; her happiness is no concern of mine.' In an instant, the beast was silenced at the daiyoukai started to walk away from the scene until he heard his name spoken by the girl.

"Sesshomaru… Why am I thinking of him? He has tried multiple times to kill me, but… Yet I feel as if I need to see him, like that is the only way to calm my soul." Dull brown eyes gazed at the ground as a clawed hand touched her shoulder.

"Miko." Swiftly, the demon started walking in the direction of his domain, Kagome following behind quickly.

'He… He touched me without any disgust in his voice. Wow. He is quite handsome though… And the way his hair moves as he walks just gives him a certain grace to his figure… Maybe this is what I need, another man to take away the grief in my heart. I guess I could see where my future would lead with him, I mean, it can't be that bad… Can it?'

(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ・。*。・。*・。*。・。*。

"Come on and save me.
I'm losing my touch.
Day after day,
Cause I miss you so much.
Come on and save me,
I'm losing my mind.
Waiting and waiting,
for you to be mine.
Come and save me,
from me, me.
Come and save me,
from me, me…" Realizing what she had just sung aloud, Kagome quickly blushed and hid her eyes beneath her bangs. A curious look was sent her way by Sesshomaru.

Upon arriving at the western palace, Kagome was tackled by an ever growing Rin. "Kagome-Chan! Rin has wondered when you would come and see her again!" An excited grin was aimed at her before the small girl notice the oh-so-obvious depression held about the miko. "Kagome-Chan, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing to worry about Rin-Chan, why don't you go say hello to Jaken for me?" The older girl shooed the young ward away as she turned to face Sesshomaru. "Why is it that you have brought me here Sesshomaru-sama?"

"This Sesshomaru has his reasons. A servant shall be sent your way to escort you to your sleeping quarters." With that said, the dog demon continued into the building to his chambers.

The rest of the night was quiet as Kagome sat on her futon absently thinking of her family. 'Mama, Souta, Grandpa… I miss you all!' Tears began to streak down her face as she pictured her family's shrine. She pictured her family wondering where she was, when she was going to get back, if she was even alive at the moment. Suddenly, the beginning of a song popped up into her head. Soft eyelids closed as the meaning of the words finally sunk in.

'Pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything.
Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about.
And that's what you get for falling again;
you can never get him out of your head.
And that's what you get for falling again;
you can never get him out of your head.'

'Love, why is it so damn cruel to me? Ugh!' Knock knock. "Miss, the evening meal has been brought for you…" The door creaked open to reveal a servant with a tray.

"I'm not hungry." Her voice was monotone, all her care from anything good in the world had disappeared at the moment. Her heart was shattered and she couldn't do anything at the time to fix it, it needed the comfort of a different being entirely. Recognition rose in the girl's mind causing her to gasp. 'I crave the presence of Sesshomaru.' By now, her servant had disappeared, leaving the tray at her desk that accompanied the room. Quickly, Kagome got up from her spot and started searching the palace for the supposed 'cold hearted man'.

Somehow succeeding to find his chambers, she threw the door open to find a sleeping lord. Her feet made small creak sounds with the flooring in his room. "Why are you in this Sesshomaru's chambers?" His voice nearly killed her, his confusion flowed freely through her ears, locking her in place. "Miko, you have not answered this one's question." Golden eyes bore into her own, somehow persuading Kagome to spill out her intentions.

"I… I sought out your comfort… I shouldn't have invaded your privacy, I shall leave." Before she had the chance to leave, a clawed hand had pulled her into a bare chest.

"Stay if it is this one's so called 'comfort' you seek." Without any other words, Sesshomaru returned to his own futon, hunkering down on the left side, beckoning her to lay with him. Even as she tried to tell her mind no, that this was just some trick, her body didn't listen to one bit, she silently strode to his side, curling up and quietly crying herself to sleep.

'So, you decided to side with me? Finally, it only took two years convincing your stubborn ass to notice you actually love her.' His inner beast grinned.

"Silence beast, if this Sesshomaru agrees with you, will you hush and go back into your chains?'

'Only if you mate.'

ANNNNNNNND! Boom! There is thy first chappie! :D Okay, so yeah, may not have been the greatest, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, that's what I wanted to do, so deal with it! -.- *sigh* Yeah, and I forgot to mention… There might be some… slight… OOCness :3 Wubbles you guys!
