Hey everyone! This is my third fic. I know I never finished my first one, but I promise I have an idea for this one. So I will finish it. To everyone out there, this is a Sesshomaru-Kagome pairing.

To warn you, I do have a muse named Faith. She tends to make her own comments everyonce in awhile...just so you know.

Disclaimor: Let's see I'm a freshamn in highschool and have no money. So as you can tell I am not the brilliant writer Rumiko Takahashi. So I do NOT own Inuyahsa and Co. ::sobs::

Now on with the Chapter...

Kagome's New-Yet-Old Life

::-Chapter One: Shiori's Tale-::

"What the hell?" Kagome said aloud while reading in her history textbook.

Quickly, Kagome read it over, trying to find out what it was trying to say.

"After traveling with Inuyasha and the others for about three years, Kagome Higurashi found out some important details to her life.

No one knows how she found out, but all that was reported was that she came out of the well with an older woman, whom had a great resemblance to Kagome herself. She then stated that the other person with her was her own mother.

Her, Shiori (her mother), and the gang all sat down to talk about what she found out.

Shiori Higurashi turned out to be the Lord of the North's mate. Which made Kagome the heiress to the Northern lands. And upon her 18th birthday, she would change into her true inu-youikai form."

Looking up at her calendar she saw that her 18th birthday was only two weeks away. Glancing back at her textbook she still couldn't believe what she had read. As she read on a gasp escaped through her lips.

During Kagome's Coming-to-Age party, her father, Lord Hitoshi, re-introduced her to her to-be mat, Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands.

Kagome's face turned white as she felt her world turn on it's side. She sat back against her bed's headboard, as she closed her eyes. She was the Northern lands heiress, an inu-youikai, and her enemy's to-be mate! She couldn't believe what she had just read. It just couldn't be true. She could not be any of those things. For one how could she be youikai when she was a miko? Wouldn't her miko powers kill off the inner youikai?

A slight shudder racked her body at this. Swinging her legs over her bed she jumped up. Then she ran down the stairs and striate into the living room where her mother was currently hemming a pair of Souta's pants.

Stopping in her tracks, Kagome watched her mother for a second.

'Why hadn't she told me of this before?' Kagome thought, feeling slightly hurt.

"Kagome, honey, what's wrong?" Shiori asked looking at her daughter thoughtfully.

"Why did you ever tell me?" Tears sprang to Kagome's eyes as she looked at her mother.

Shiori put what she had in her arms down and patted the place next to her on the sofa.

Sitting down next to her mother Kagome said, "How could you not tell me the truth about my own father! Why couldn't you tell me that I was the heiress to the Northern lands!"

"Honey, I was waiting until the opportune moment," Shiori said, startled at her daughters sudden outburst.

"What were you going to wait until my 18th birthday, which may I remind you, is in two weeks!"

"Kagome you will not speak to me in that tone," Shiori scolded as she got prepared to tell her daughter the whole truth.

Kagome just nodded her apologies as she waited for her mother to explain everything to her.

"When I was 18 I somehow, like you, traveled to the Feudal Era. Though unlike you, I ran into a young man, a little older than myself. He smiled upon seeing me sitting on the well's edge looking extremely dazed..."

Flashback

Closing her eyes, Shiori couldn't understand what had just happened. At one point, she was sitting on the wells edge trying to get some privacy from her over protective mother. The next minute she felt herself falling. After expecting to hit the bottom she found that she just kept on falling through it's depth. That's when she felt herself land softly on the bottom. When she looked up to see the roof she could only see open sky.

Opening her eyes once again, she found herself looking at a strange young man. He looked to be about her age. He had long baby-blue hair that reached his waist. His hair also held a silver tent to it. That's when she noticed that his ears were slightly pointed. He had a long boa of some-sort that was the same shade as his hair. Taking another glance Shiori realized that the man didn't have a boa, but he had a tail!

Looking into the strangers face, she felt trapped in his gaze. His eyes were almost pure silver in color, with a slight hint of blue. Both of his cheeks held two blue stripes. And on his forehead was a silverfish blue snowflake. He was...beautiful.

Before she knew it, the man had come right up to her. Looking down at Shiori he smiled. Then he reached out a hand that had long sharp claws instead of fingers, plus you could see the blue tribal type streaks on his wrist.

Shiori smiled shyly as she took the hand he offered and stood up. She swayed a bit and almost fell but the man before her caught her.

End Flashback

"Wow, was it love at first site mom?" Kagome asked in awe at the story she was being told.

Shiori smiled and nodded as a few tears fell in remembrance of the first time she met her mate.

With a sigh she begun to talk again, "Not to long afterwards, I'd say about six months, your father, Lord Hitoshi, and I became mates. Not too long after wards were we blessed with another gift..."

Flashback

Getting up from her bed, Shiori made her way quickly to the hot springs that was actually located inside of the castle that she lived in with her mate.

Sitting in the springs, she let out a small sigh. She felt slightly queasy and very dizzy and she had an idea as to why. Grinning, Shiori laid her hand on her stomach. She had a good feeling that she was pregnant. Which meant that she would give birth to a son or daughter within the next three to four weeks. Since she was a miko who mated with a youikai, she knew they didn't have to wait for nine long months.

Five Years Later

Shiori looked outside her window at her beautiful daughter. She watched as her daughter talked to the Western Lords heir. For being only five years old, Shiori could tell her daughter was very intelligent. She could talk to you about anything it seemed like, whether it may be serious or humorous, Kagome seemed to have an opinion on it.

Sesshomaru, the Western Land's heir, seemed to be a warm-hearted boy. Ever since him and her daughter met, they were inseparable. They were always talking and laughing. Either that or they were running around outside laughing.

With a sigh, Shiori felt torn. She knew what she needed to do. She could not have her daughter live in the Feudal Era. Not when she was the keeper of the Shikon no Tama. A few tears made there way down her face as she took a deep breath.

Lord Hitoshi walked over to his mate and wrapped his arms around her waist. He knew she felt sorrowful at what she needed to do.

"It's going to be alright, Shiori," Hitoshi said as he rested his chin on the top of her head.

All she could do was nod. She knew she'd be back. She just had to wait until the time was right.

End of Flashback

Kagome sat there watching as tears filled her mothers eyes. She never would have guessed that this was happening.

"When was the right time to go back, Mom?"

Shiori looked at her daughter and gave a small smile.

"Well since the Shikon is finally back together and that Naraku is finally gone, sometime soon, I'd hope," Shiori said.

Kagome smiled and nodded. She felt like she found herself in a way. She always felt like something was missing but now she felt whole. She couldn't wait to tell everyone back in the Feudal Era. Especially Inuyasha.

Stepping out of the well both Kagome and her mother took in a deep breath.

'I can't believe I'm finally back to where I belong. I'm almost home,' Shiori thought with a smile as she looked out into the area around her. She was happy to see that everything was the same as last time. Except this time, Hitoshi wasn't there to greet her.

"Mom, we need to go to Kaede's village first. I need to talk to my friends here," Kagome said as she begun to walk towards the village.

Shiori followed happily, knowing that her daughter knew this place almost better than herself.

"Kagome what took you so damn long!" Inuyasha said angrily.

"Sit boy," Kagome said with a glare, "Don't speak that way around my mother."

"Bi...wait your mother?!?" Inuyasha stuttered as the subduing spell wore off.

"Yes my mother," Kagome said with a huge smile. Looking back at her mother she started introducing everyone.

"Everyone, this is my mother," Kagome said, then pointing to her friends as she spoke their names, "And this is Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and..."

Before Kagome could finish, Shippo launched himself into her arms almost knocking her down.

"And this is my kit, Shippo," Kagome finished with a giggle as she hugged Shippo.

"Kagome why is you mother here?" Inuyasha asked rudely.

Before Kagome could say anything, Miroku hit Inuyasha in the back of the head with his staff.

"I'm sorry for my friend being so very rude to a beauty such as yourself," Miroku said with one of his usual smiles.

Kagome glanced at her mom and was surprised to see her mom actually blushing. Giggling, she turned back to her friends.

"Heh, well my mom and I have a lot to explain to you guys," Kagome said.

After a few minutes, they were all sitting around listening to Shiori tell the story of when she came to the Feudal Era. She explained everything to them that she explained to Kagome only about a day ago.

Well that was chapter one. Sorry it was short. I will try and make chapter two longer. Please, Please PLEASE Review. They make me feel special and give me inspiration.
