"Dad, its you, am I dead or just dreaming?" Kagome confused,
"Hi honey, you grew up so well, look at you, I bet you are breaking all the boy's heart huh," her father messing up her hair, she giggled,
"No, not really," Kagome a bit nervous.
"I came to tell you its not your time, live life a little don't ever take anything for granted and slow down a little to enjoy it," her father smiled with tears glistening in his eyes.
"What, is this some kind of a warning or something, am I going to die soon?" Kagome freaking out. Her father walked out of the room,
"Hey, wait dad," Kagome shouted, she ran after him, she found herself downstairs her mother was fixing lunch and her brother was running out to play.
"Mom, I saw dad, I just saw dad," Kagome out of breath, her mother seemed to being ignoring her,
"Did you hear me, mom?" Kagome screamed, she looked at her mother and ran out to the well and passed through, when she crawled out into the Feudal Era she ran to the village, Sango, Miroku and the rest of the gang waited for her at Keade's.
"Hey guys, you aren't going to ignore me either are you?" Kagome a bit upset,
"No, what would give you that idea?" Sango confused,
"Well, mom just ignored me and I saw dad, my dad," Kagome freaking out.
"Wait, isn't your dad dead?" Miroku confused as well,
"Yeah, which makes no sense!" Kagome holding her head, she saw movement out of the corner of her eye, Sesshomaru was standing in the doorway,
"Miko, what is going on?" Sesshomaru strongly, she got up,
"Excuse me guys," Kagome walking to Sesshomaru, she looked at her friends, she led the way to the well so they couldn't be heard.
"So you feel it too, something weird is going on, I don't know what, I didn't do this," Kagome seriously,
"This Sesshomaru saw his mother, he wasn't dreaming, and his persons at the castle are all gone," Sesshomaru explained.
"Where's Inuyasha, have you seen him around or Kikyo for that matter," Kagome looking around,
"Miko, this Sesshomaru's mother has never came to me, only my father, my mother is dead," Sesshomaru wanting answers,
"I know, my father came to me, he said something weird though," Kagome having a puzzled look on her face, "Tell me what he said," Sesshomaru shaking her,
"He told me I grew well, he asked me if I was breaking all the boy's hearts with my looks, um, he said he came to tell me its not your time, live life a little, don't ever take anything for granted and slow down a little to enjoy it, then he left the room and when I ran after him, my mother was fixing lunch and my brother had ran outside to play, but the funny thing is I tried to talk to my mother and she ignored me like…just like as if I weren't there, like I was a ghost or something," Kagome confused.
"Sounds like a warning of sorts, something is not right, I can't find Rin, or Ah-Un, Inuyasha is more than likely off with that dead whore," Sesshomaru mumbled,
"Hey, you're supposed to be Lord Sesshomaru, all pride and everything, and you talk to me like we are friends, this is bad, what do you remember?" Kagome sitting on the lip of the well.
"We were fighting Naraku, that's it," Sesshomaru shrugged, she stared him down, he was acting really funny like, she slapped him across the face,
"Get a hold of yourself, the Lord Sesshomaru I know doesn't act like this, he is stoic, cold-hearted and I remember having to almost beg him to help me fight Naraku, do you remember where the place was?" Kagome jumping down. Sesshomaru looked at her strangely,
"I feel really good, no pain, no beast trying to tell me anything," Sesshomaru laughing, she again looked at him confused.
"Sesshomaru, hey, come on, if we want to get to the bottom of this, we need to work together, and it would help if you were your normal self, the all mighty lord that everyone is scared of, now do you remember where this place is, where we fought Naraku?" Kagome grabbing his haori, he stared in her eyes and raised a brow,
~Wow, have I never seen this before, she is beautiful!~ Sesshomaru starting to lean into kiss her lips as he licked his,
"Hey, what the hell, am I the only one that has not lost it, Sesshomaru you hate humans, so stop trying to kiss me," Kagome feeling the muscles of his upper body,
~Oh boy, my god, this man is really built, hey, back to Earth Kagome, we have work to do.~ her mind telling her,
"So, you like what you feel?" Sesshomaru smirked, she blushed a little,
"That's besides the point," Kagome walking passed him, she stared at the sky,
~Kagome, you do not have much time left, find the jewel and make your wish.~ a male voice inside her head,
"What's wrong, tell me, what is it?" Sesshomaru not having the speed that he usually had,
"Someone is talking to me, inside my head, we have to find the jewel, and fast, we don't have a lot of time left, now do you remember the place we fought Naraku or not?" Kagome screaming at him. Sesshomaru started walking away, in the direction of Inuyasha's forest, she started to follow him, she said nothing, when he stopped he turned around,
"This is it, it was through here," Sesshomaru trying to sniff around,
"What's the matter?" Kagome concerned,
"There's blood all around, but I can barely smell it," Sesshomaru explained,
"Look for the jewel, it should be here," Kagome frantically, she was really getting creeped out.
"Look calm down," Sesshomaru remaining calm, she had a really bad feeling about all of this,
"I think we need to go back, to check on Miroku and Sango," Kagome seriously,
"Kagome, calm down, will you, now the voice inside your head, it told you that we didn't have much time left right? So look, look for the jewel," Sesshomaru strongly, he glanced up at her, though he appeared to be looking straight through her, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind him, she 'eeped'. There before them was the bastard himself, Naraku,
"Ha, isn't this ironic, you look for the jewel in death also, don't you ever give up little miko, it was never yours to protect," Naraku laughing, Kagome narrowed her eyes at him,
"What did you just say?" Kagome strongly,
"That's right, you and all of your little friends, did defeat me little miko, but you all paid the price with your lives, its only a matter of time when you and your little lover here will meet your maker," Naraku smirked,
"You lie," Kagome stepping out from behind Sesshomaru,
"Do I? Let us see shall we?" Naraku slamming a tentacle through her body, it went right through her, she gasped, she turned and looked at Sesshomaru, he reached for his sword but it wasn't there, he grabbed Kagome and ran back to the village. Slowly he sat Kagome down in Kaede's hut, he sat down with her, she was spacing out,
"Kagome, Kagome, snap out of it," Sesshomaru shaking her.
"We died, we are all dead, Sango and Miroku were going to get married and have kids, you were going to rule the Western lands and I don't know what else you had in store but everyone here in the Feudal Era had a life or at least had plans, it should have been me and me alone that went up against Naraku," Kagome emotionless.
"Come on, we have to find the jewel, if we can find the jewel you can make your selfless wish, if you wish correctly we all can be back and alive," Sesshomaru strongly,
"But Naraku is also looking for the jewel, I'm sure he found it in the woods there, that's where we killed him, it's where we all died," Kagome nothing but a empty void.
"Stay with me miko," Sesshomaru strongly,
"Why, I don't have anything, even if I wished for things to be set right before Naraku ever started this, I don't have anything, my human life wasn't anything special, I had school, annoying friends, and in the Feudal Era I have Sango who was going to marrying Miroku and have a family, Inuyasha will mate with Kikyo and there's no room for me, there's never any room for me, I am nothing, or was nothing, I was just a jewel shard collector to him," Kagome strongly.
"You know your father was right, you need to slow down, you need to get your life back, and appreciate what is given to you, you are beautiful, you are smart, and you can do anything you put your mind to, you always put your heart out for others, your very caring Kagome, look at all the good you have done, you helped Rin when she was dying from the fever, you have Shippo your adoptive son, and Rin had taken to you well, you have a lot of people that do care for you, Sango would do anything for you, you do good Kagome," Sesshomaru pushing her hair back. She smirked, as she turned to gaze at the cold-hearted beast he once was,
"You know, I always knew you cared, deep down, I guess I wont ever hear you talk like when I bring us back will I?" Kagome letting a tear slide down her face.
"Probably not," Sesshomaru laughed at himself, she gently touched his cheek, she traced along where his marks were,
"I hate to admit but I am going to miss you acting like this," Kagome leaning in, he smirked, he leaned halfway to meet her lips, slowly they kissed, he gently put his hand to the side of her neck and rubbed her silk like cheek, she played with his hair.
~Ah, so you finally found him, I approve! So cute together, you guys will have beautiful pups, but you are still running short of time, you must hurry.~ the male voice shouted in her head,
"Its my dad, the voice inside my head, its my dad, he says that I finally found you, that and we are running short of time," Kagome frowned,
"The jewel wasn't there," Sesshomaru strongly,
"Are you sure?" Kagome narrowing her eyes at him,
"I am," Sesshomaru strongly, she felt a gush of wind behind her, she turned quickly,
"Kaede, what are you…did you die too?" Kagome almost starting to cry. Kaede said nothing but revealed that she was keeping something for her in her wrinkled old hand, slowly her fingers uncurled to reveal the purple jewel,
"Kaede, thank you so much," Kagome trying to hug her, she stopped her, she left the hut,
"Wait, Kaede?" Kagome running after her, but she didn't even make it out of the hut, Naraku was standing there, she backed up, Sesshomaru got in front of her, he would protect her,
"Get behind me, Sesshomaru," Kagome whispered,
"So it's the other way around, you are going to protect your new found lover," Naraku liking the entertainment.
"I wish for every good beings and creatures that were destroyed by Naraku to be brought back alive and well again without the presents of…" Kagome wishing, Sesshomaru disappeared, he found himself waking laying in the blood-soaked earth holding Kagome's hand, he looked around at everything,
~It wasn't a dream, everyone of us who fought lost our life.~ Sesshomaru seeing Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, the little kitsune, Sango's neko pet, the wolf, and Kikyo, who was once again with the living, and actually had a pulse, the only one who wasn't with them was Kagome. Sesshomaru growled at the scent of all the blood, he started to walk away,
"Kagome," Sango screamed,
"She's bleeding out, Miroku, Inuyasha please someone do something!" Sango holding her best friend in her lap, Sesshomaru turned, he knew he owed Kagome for bringing him back, he slowly turned around, he swiftly made his way over to the miko that he had kissed when he was dead, he took a claw and cut her shirt down the middle to see all the blood, he checked her pulse, it was hardly even there, a very weak pulse, he got to his knees and licked her wound, knowing he was the only one that could save her. It healed in the matter of seconds, slowly he picked her up in his arms,
"Where are you taking her?" Sango cried,
"To my castle, she has a weak pulse, she may never wake up again, I owe her that much, you all do, we all died fighting against the hanyou," Sesshomaru turning into his orb and getting Kagome to his castle.
