"Dearly departed...we are gathered here today to bid farewell to...so many things has he accomplished in life...it is now that we bid Taisho Sesshoumaru a final farewell."

A light drizzle pitter-pattered on the solemn black umbrellas, the noise seem to echo throughout the quiet procession. There were a few quiet sniffles here and there, but the event was otherwise calm and orderly. People all dressed in black surrounded the closed casket, listening to the priest retell the person lying in the coffins life's story, like he had been a part of it.

As soon as the funeral ended there were some quiet condolences given, before eventually the crowd was completely gone as the rain came down harder. They left from the private Taisho cemetery going home since there would be no reception, leaving only two figures to wallow about in the rain.

The smaller of the two held an umbrella, trying in earnest to convince the other to join her under the umbrella, but said woman did not budge.

Mascara dripped down her pale wet cheeks. Her eyes red-rimmed from crying so much, even if she knew not why she cried.

"Mamma?"

The woman was drenched by this time, but she didn't move. Her chest felt heavy, but she knew not why.

Nothing made any sense to her right now.

Not why she was here? Who had died? Why was this person so important? Was he important to her? Who was the small girl-child by her side? Why did she claim to be her child? Why did random, crazy fantasy creatures flit through her mind at all times of the day? Her with a bow, riding on a man's back with silver hair and dog ears.'

Had she been crazy or were these really her memories like the old woman Kururu siad and if so how had she not yet died?

Clutching her forehead, she felt a headache coming on. The incessant pounding at the forefront of her head now.

It didn't help that she was soaking wet.

"Mamma please let's go inside before you get sick."

Telia pleaded softly to her mother, but didn't want to force her mother to move. For she understood her mother's grief, even if her mother did not.

Telia wasn't all too sure what had happened only that she had been commanded by her mother and Sesshoumaru to stay at Taisho manor. However upon their return, her mother knew not who she was and had no memory of why she held Sesshoumaru's broken, lifeless form in her arms.

Kururu tried to question her mother, but she always answered the same:

"There was a white light, then nothing."

Kagome, as if finally registering her supposed daughter's pleading, took her outstretched hand.

Telia took her away from the cemetery leading her back to the manor where servants equipped with huge fluffy towels and Inu-kimi, Sesshoumaru's mother, were waiting for them.

The steely look in Inu-kimi's eyes made Telia gulp, wondering what she wanted.

As soon as Kagome was within grabbing distance they set about drying her off.

Inu-kim motioned for Telia to follow.

Looking back towards her mother who was being dried of by the servants and being taken away to get dressed in new, dry clothes before following after Inu-kimi. Content she would be taken care of she followed after the older woman.

-o00o-

The room that Telia was led to was a dimly lit office with lots of antiques lying about. It reminded her of her mother's collection room after a shopping spree. The room was filled with an underlying feeling of power. Something she used to feel regularly by her mother's side. Though not so much since her mother's return.

"Child."

Inu-Kimi's voice drew Telia's attention away from surveying the room, to the tall woman now leaning up against the mahogany desk. She had been surprised when she had first been introduced to the woman that she was Sesshoumaru's mother, because she didn't look a day over twenty-eight tops.

"Yes ma'am."

Her mother had told her to address Sesshoumaru's mother as such till she gave her permission to call her else wise.

Inu-kimi's nose crinkled at the word ma'am, did she look like a ma'am.

"Child call me Kimi. Everyone does and never ever use the word ma'am around me again."

"Yes ma'a-I mean yes Ms. Kimi."

Inu-kimi rolled her eyes at the miss part, the girl really was too respectable. She much preferred Kagome's rude gestures of calling her baa-chan than this child mild-mannerisms.

"So tell me child all that has occurred since you and your mother first came."

Telai nodded, before relaying to her everything.

"Once we arrived mamma took me on a tour of the manor, but halfway through Sesshoumaru received a call. Next thing I knew mother and Sesshoumaru had to leave for some important business and told me to stay with Kururu. Then a little over a week later mother returned with Sesshoumaru covered in blood...dead.

Kururu saw her first and asked her what happened, but it was like she was in a trance and only realized then that she was holding Sesshoumaru. Kururu tried to ask her what happened calling out her name, but all mother said was. 'Who is Kagome?' That was nearly a week and a half ago. Okita-san and Kururu have been handling everything concerning Sesshoumaru and the business, while Nana took mother to see a special doctor that told them that mother had a severe case of amnesia. Still they questioned her further but her only reply was: 'There was a white light, then nothing."

Telia stopped talking allowing Inu-kimi the chance to take in all of the information.

Inu-kimi's silver brows were scrunched together thinking everything she had heard through. The last part made no sense to her at all. She would have to consult with someone far more worldly in knowledge...that is if she could find him.

'Let's hope he is more reasonable after so many centuries.'

"Alright, thank you child for your help."

"No problem Ms. Kimi, but what will happen to mother?"

"I don't know, I would pray that she get well. You may go now. Take care of your mother for it would seem there are things that are lurking and your may be our only way of finding out what has happened. Have Kururu call me if your mother happens to remember anything." Inu-kimi said.

"I will." Telia turned to leave but something came back to her, "Oh I almost forgot, Kururu said there were marks of Sesshoumaru's body consistant with a demon's claw marks, so this enemy may very well be a demon."

Inu-kimi inclined her head as a way of saying farewell, before she left with a swish of her long black dress of mourning. Telia left as well heading to where she smelt her mother's scent. She hoped Sesshoumaru's mother could find out what happened.

Upon entering the room where her mother was. Telia found her seated by the window watching the rain come down. Her mother had been like this since they had found her. The servants had obviously dressed her in new clothes.

Telia thought of Kururu's suggestion from the other day that as soon as the rain let up that they should take her to get some fresh air. That maybe walking around her hometown would jog her mother's memory, even if it was only her early life that she remembered. Anything was better than nothing.

Telia tried to fix her face with a small smile.

"Mamma lets go get something to eat."

Her mother's gaze didn't budge from the window and Telia's fake smile faltered. Her mother had a dull look in her eyes as she continued to watch the rain come pouring down.

A sad thought that haunted her this past peek and half came to mind.

Would her mother ever get better?

Two Days Later

"Kagome don't wander off too far."

The old lady had told her, but Kagome hadn't listened to her. She had seen something familiar and had followed it. Now she was lost and confused. She didn't know where she was only that her body felt like it was on fire.

'Where was the weird old lady and the little girl who called herself her daughter. Why was she in so much pain?

She had been following the light when something ran into her. Felt whatever it was claw at her, then felt her life being to fade into nothingness, then as quick as whatever it was that had hit her something shoved it away, yet the pain remained. Then with a sinking feeling in her gut, her halfway there brain brought forth her worst fear.

Am I going to die?

The very thought made her heart feel heavy and she did her best to cry out, but the words locked in her throat, so the only thing that passed through her lips was the gargling sound of someone whose throat had been slit.

'Somebody please save me!'

"kgrme can yoouu heeearr me stay with me! Maaammma!"

There were garbled voices echoing all around her. Voices shouting her name, another calling for help, then she felt her body being lifted. Her head was pounding like a drum. She felt the wind rushing past her, freezing her cold body. To shiver her, her bones felt like they were breaking and her body felt like an inferno of Hell's punishment.

Her body convulsed before she went still altogether, not even a sign that she was breathing was evident.

Kagome had just died?

TBC. Review tell me what you think! Sorry it was so short.
