The Ties That Bond Us

Chapter One: To See You Again

Kagome smiled as everyone clapped. She walked up to the person who just finished speaking and hugged them. "Arigato, Okaa-san.." She said with that smile. This was her wedding. Her mom pulled away holding her hand and slipping something onto it. A bracelet.. "You'll know when to use it.." Her mom said with a smile before turning around and walking back to her table as the next person walked up to speak.

If I could change one thing..

I know..

What..

It would..

Be….

I would definitely..Definately..

As Kagome looked at the next person she saw it was Sesshoumaru. This was her wedding. She was now married. But not to the person she wanted to marry. As he spoke the girl started trying to keep that smile. It was that smile.. That smile was keeping everyone happy. It was making everyone happy. But there was a problem. Everyone was happy. Everyone but her..

One thing..

If I could have done..

One thing I..

I wouldn't have..

The girl tried to widen her smile and hold the tears back as she walked forward to hug him. That was whom she wanted to marry. She wanted Sesshoumaru not Inuyasha. The girl wrapped her arms around his waist as he did hers. The two remembered their previous conversation.. At least.. Soon enough.. Soon enough she could possibly be happy.

I wouldn't have said yes..

I could have..

I could have been the one happy today..

Not everyone but me because.. because..

I would be.. with you..

Kagome excused herself from the crowd, as did Sesshoumaru. The two walked out of the room and down the hallway. No one seemed too concerned. They all trusted that they wouldnt do anything wrong.

"The moon is full.. tonight.." Sesshoumaru said as they both stood at the window. "Hai..it is.." Kagome said nodding. "This is it.." He also stated as she nodded again. He gently pulled her into a deep kiss before pulling away hesitantely. "Oyasumi.. for now.." He said as he pushed her foward and the girl fell out the window closing her eyes.

What are you going to do now..?

What are you goinf to tell them..?

All I wanted..

Was..

To be..

With..

You..

Kagome felt the wind rush by her as she clutched her fingers into a fist incognizant of the bracelet that was glowing an eerie white. Soon enough as if everything slowed down. She felt.. Disorientated.. Lost.. And alone..

I've been having.. These weird thoughts lately..

Like.. Is any of this for real..? Or not..?

Kagome opened her eyes and looked at her surroundings. She was sitting on a tree branch. She wore her old green and white school uniform. Next to her, a girl with knee length pink hiar, light pink eyes and caramel skin sat down taking. She wore a purple tupe top and a denim mini skirt. On her other side there was Sesshoumaru in baggy white pants in armor that was over a white haori with red and some kanji on it. Beside him was another man with shoulder length black hair, blue eyes, and pale skin. He wore a dark blue kimono and he held a sword in his grasp.

Sesshoumaru glanced back as several shadow figures stood behind him with red glowing eyes before he jumped out the window. The figures followed him noting as he landed gracefully on one foot while unsheathing two of his hidden swords. He hacked through some of them before running up a building and holding both swords out on each side.

Soon enough everything started to disintegrate around her as she felt that weird feeling once more. Kagome looked around and noticed she was in a white room. The only thing there was a table and a girl. She had shoulder length silky black hair and hazel eyes while she clutched onto a yellow bag. The two stared at each other for a while.

A figure stood onn top of the building and Sesshoumaru smirked tossing one of the swords to it. Soon enough the figure caught it as its hood came off to reveal silver hair accompanied by silver puppy ears. Sesshoumaru jumped off of the bulding and the other male released an attack killing all the shadow figures that were following Sesshoumaru.

"What is it...that you desire...?" The girl said in an eerie yet childlike voice. "I desire- I want to...start over again.." Kagome replied as the girl stood up from her sitting position. "Do you remember...your name?" The girl asked.

The two males ran together towards a girl who was chanting as a white circle appeared in front of her. She had on a black robe and her knee length pink hair was violently swirling around the wind before the male next to Sesshoumaru stopped and turned around attacking more of the figures. Sesshoumaru walked up to the girl who smirked, her white eye shining in determination before the two nodded and he jumped into the circle.

Sesshoumaru stood on a beach, the waves hitting his shoes lightly as behind him there were trees. The moon reflected on the ocean ahead as he stoon in front of the body of water.

"Kagome..."

The name echoed through the place.

'There was a girl here...she looked exactly like you...' he thought.

"Yes...it's.." Kagome started before stopping. Her eyes dilated looking at the girl. She couldn't remember it...what was her name..? There was Kaz, Momoiro, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru...she remembered those names, but none were hers... "What are...the ties that bond you to them...?" the girl asked as Kagome looked forward confused. "Will you find them...?" The girl added while Kagome's face became dumbfound.

'Was she truly you...have you truly returned?'

The wind swept by Sesshoumaru as he remembered the shore. If it was her...

"Didn't you say you would always be here...by this shore?"

If it was her...

"Disappearing from the fabric of time only to find..." The small girl said before disappearing. Soon enough Kagome's surroundings swept by her and she was in a vast plain.

"This is my meditation area" A familar voice echoed through the plain.

"Momoiro?" Kagome screamed, the wind her reply. The girl felt herself falling, fading away towards nothing.

This was just like the last time he saw her...he remembered.

Only a wall...he was just a wall away... Kagome fell on her knees and began to sob uncontrollably placing her palm on the invisible wall and looking up at Sesshoumaru. The taiyoukai rested on his knees his palm on the identical place where hers was located. They were only severed by this wall...

That time too...he also couldn't help her..

Kagome glanced back feeling something pulling her from the wall and saw a vortex from the mouth of the well. The silent tears streamed from her face and she tried to maintain her place but was slowly pulled by the force of the swirling black hole. "Sesshoumaru!" she screamed in fear. The male stood paralyzed before attacking the wall with brutal force.

Kagome closed her eyes, the vortex overcoming her strenth as she slowly gave up. The last words she said before the wall faded and the vortex closed. The last thing that he heard he saw...was the name of the person who could no longer help her. The person who stood there as the rain poured down on his face drowning her scent from the location. She said his name.

She said...Sesshoumaru...

Sesshoumaru stared ahead at the large body of water, the wind dancing with his hair and his hand down at this side. One lone, uncontrollable tear slid down his cheek, the wind also carried that away and it fell into the sea.

Kagome's scream were muffled by the sounds of the waves. The only thing the two could hear. Her eyes still dilated, her tears flowing freely, her arm outstretched, she was paralyzed. She could move...She realized...she then realized...she would never be able to go back to where he was.

"Tasogare dake wo daite...Ano hi no nami wa mou fukai umi no soko. Kanashimi wo shiranai...Aoi yume wo mite nemutteiru..."

Kagome heard the voice of the girl she met before as her eyes closed. She started to feel warm, comforted, and sheltered from the violence that surrounded her.

Sesshoumaru sat at the sea, a paper next to him as the sun started to rise. He stared afar off at the sky as a white glow started tp appear from the sea. The clouds had a twilight color as a body resurfaced from the water. The male stood up, eyes slightly widened as the body floated towards the shore.

He slowly walked forward picking up the body from the clutches of the waves. it was Kagome...she was in her old uniform and she coughed as her eyes slowly opened. Golden irises met oceanic as the two locked eyes. Kagome smiled weakly at him.

"I...will always be here...by this shore..." The girl said in a weak tone before she closed her eyes and let sleep overtake her.

"Hai...and you will remember in time..." Sesshoumaru whispered just before she fully fell into the deep clutches of sleep.

Those words were the last thing she heard. They seemed like a dream...A dream she didn't want to end. Not yet...but for now...she would sleep.

Sesshoumaru walked forward with Kagome in his grasp and the note in hand before looking up. The sky was a twilight color. He closed his eyes as a rush of wind passed by him. As he opened them he noticeed, Kagome and the note together, were gone..

A/N: We really tried to nail down the drama part...we've never actually been good at anything THAT dramatic. Anyhoo the phrase that Ms. Girl person said means:

Embrace nothing but the twilight sky...the waves from that day are now at the bottom of the deep ocean. They sleep as they embrace blue dreams...that do not know sorrow...

Pink: Oh...and I really played around with the types of words so you could tell the difference of what was happening...so yeah...well...um..what I was aiming for were the thoughts were in italics at some parts, bold were the flashbacks, bold italics were the semi-reality part and the regular texts were reality...well what you can call reality anyway. XD

Kara: I'm her edi-

Pink: Shut up...(throws pocky out the window)

Kara: POCKY! (jumps out the window with the pocky)

Pink: Haha...n.n and i also tried to form two letters when I was doing the thoughts at the beginning! What did they spell? Hmm? I wanna know!
