Chapter 1

Once upon a time in a land far away from where she was born, there lived a being. This being travelled the world in search of new adventures and new friends. She was unable to find adventures that she was able to devote much time and energy to, but what could she expect? She saved the world once, it's hard to find something that time consuming again.

Kagome sighed. "That's not the way to start out one's autobiography." She closed her notebook and laid back on the grass. She didn't know why she suddenly had the urge to write down her life, and she doubted that she could write about it seriously. Since the Shikon Jewel was completed she had been quite depressed. Not that she didn't treasure her friends, but her family was important to her and knowing that she wasn't going to see them again was very distressing. The well was closed and she was going to die roughly five hundred years before she was even born.

No matter how depressed she was she continued to help Kaede with Miko duties and she continued to travel with Inuyasha to help villages in their times of distress. But a shocking revelation came when a plague ravaged that countryside. The plague travelled fast and took many, and Kagome was sure that this would be how she was going to die (She thought that if anyone looked at her wrong she'd get infected). But she never did. Even her beloved half-demon friend started showing symptoms of the plague. Neither of them died, and Kagome chalked it up to great immune systems.

Days grew longer and they got older and soon Kaede died. Both Inuyasha and Kagome attended the funeral and Kagome kept on with the duties that Kaede left behind so that she people of the village could be comforted in the presence of the Miko. The years continued to pass and soon a young child started showing signs of priestess powers and Kagome took her under her tutelage. The young girl replaced Kagome after she turned 18 and Kagome left the village once again with Inuyasha.

By now it had become obvious that Kagome wasn't aging. Inuyasha and Kagome had come close to travelling Japan for over a century and Inuyasha was beginning to show some wear and tear. As his condition got worse, she convinced the half-demon to travel to the Western Lands to try and make peace with his older brother. Kagome's depression got worse and by the time Inuyasha passed she was extremely down trodden and feeling useless in life.

Sesshomaru was her shining light after Inuyasha passed. He allowed her to stay with him in his fortress and live there for as long as she decided, or needed. However, after a few years of Kagome moping around the castle and servants being afraid to approach her on account of making her even more depressed, Sesshomaru intervened. He straight up told her that she was not longer allowed to be depressed and quote, "will stop moping and follow this Sesshomaru on a scout of his lands". Needless to say, Kagome's mood lightened and she laughed for a while. Since then, she always having a more joyous outlook on life, and Kagome discovered a couple years after that she really had a hard time taking things very seriously. Sesshomaru said it was a phase. It wasn't.

When Kagome expressed the desire to leave Japan Sesshomaru decided that she needed to know the ancient art of Kendo. After a few years of mastering the art, Kagome left Japan with a few kimonos, enough money to become a modern day tycoon and many weapons hidden on her person.

Kagome stayed away from Japan until the nineteenth century. During her travels she'd learned more than she could remember and met quite a few interesting people. In the seventy's she'd met her first mutant, a mister Charles Xavier. He'd expressed his desire to help other mutants, specifically children, with learning to control and except themselves for who they were. On one occasion, she'd jokingly suggested that he start a school for mutant children. Leaving the United States, Kagome decided that she'd like to take a quick trip through Canada, and so began her backpacking trip through Canada.

Just before leaving Canada she met Logan the Lumber Jack and his girlfriend Kayla. She learned that he was a mutant trying to live a normal life and that he'd been in a couple wars and enjoys his new life. After a couple days she thanks them for their hospitality and leaves, finally making her way back to Japan.

Kagome had been living in Japan for over twenty years with Sesshomaru now. Sure, she liked the demon, but they guy was boring after a while and it had sure been a while. Kagome sat up and looked around. She was sitting in the grassy area of the court yard of Sesshomaru's company, how exciting. She grabbed her notebook and pen and went through the glass doors to find Sesshomaru. After riding the elevator fifty floors she arrived at his secretary's desk and was given the go ahead to go bother the demon.

Upon entering the room Kagome noticed that Sesshomaru was pretending to be busy, but was actually playing solitaire on his laptop. Going to stand behind him she did the one thing that you don't do when Sesshomaru was playing solitaire. "The red five goes on the black six. Put the King there. The three of spades can go up."

"Stop! Would you not ruin this Sesshomaru's game?" Kagome smiled.

"Nope, sorry. I'm bored." The demon shook his head.

Opening the drawer he pulled out an envelope that was addressed to Kagome. "Take this, maybe you'll annoy me less." Kagome snatched the letter out of his hands and walked to the other side of his desk to sit in one of his chairs. Sesshomaru made sure she wasn't going to interrupt him again and began a new game.

Opening the letter Kagome began to read.

Miss Kagome Higurashi,

We have written this letter to you to regretfully inform you that Professor Charles Xavier has passed away within the past month. You were in the will as a person to contact if he died…

Kagome dropped the letter. How could it be possible? He wasn't that old in the seventies and even if he was bald it didn't mean that he was old, maybe… 30? He shouldn't have died yet…

Sesshomaru stood and strode around his desk to pick up the fallen letter. After quickly glancing through he sat down next to her. "You knew this Professor Xavier?"

"I met him in the seventies. I think I convinced him to open a school for mutant children…" She trailed off.

Sesshomaru was quiet for a moment. "They have to address of his grave, if you would like to visit him again. It seems that he is resting as his school for Gifted Youngsters."

She nodded, still looking off into space. "I think I will. I've been meaning to visit Charles for a while now, the timing's perfect." She gave a dry laugh.

"When would you like to go?"

"Soon."

Her flight to the States was short, and soon Kagome was in New York renting a car so she could drive to the Mansion where her friend was resting for the rest of eternity. She called Sesshomaru when she was in the car and let him know that she was headed to the Mansion and that she'd let him know when she was on her was back so that he could have the jet waiting for her.

The drive felt much too short for the immortal and she was almost dreading meeting the people that had once knew her friend. When Charles had said he was actually going to open the school, she refused the job not wanting to be stuck in one place for too long. She didn't want her sense of duty to make her stay too long in one place, but now that she was faced with the people that she could have known, people that she should have known, she was fairly nervous.

Leaving her bag in the car, Kagome wiped her hands on her jeans as she walked to the front door of the large mansion. Thinking back to minutes before when she entered the gates the words 'Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters' reached in her soul and ripped her heart out, once again sad at what should have been. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she knocked on the door and waited.

The door opened to reveal a young-ish girl with brown hair. "Hello, how can I help you?"

Kagome blinked, not sure who she was expecting but knowing that this girl certainly wasn't it. "Um, Hi. My name's Kagome Higurashi and I was a friend of Professor Xavier. I got a letter yesterday about his death and I've come to pay my respects…" She trailed off when she noticed the girls eyes open wide.

"Oh, ok. Let me go get Ororo. Here, you can step in while I go get her for you." The girl let Kagome into the entrance way and closed the door before running off to get Ororo.

Kagome stood in place watching the girl run up the stairs and vaguely heard her yell 'Storm' before looking about the mansion and admiring the interior. She was amazed by the outside architecture just as much as the interior design.

Soon a woman with short gray, multicolored hair came down the stairs, behind her was the younger girl who let her in the house. "Hello, I'm Ororo Munroe." She introduced herself. "Kitty said that you were a friend of Professor Xavier's?"

Kagome nodded. "That's correct. I knew him long ago and just heard about his death. I was wondering if you would allow me to pay my respects, I never got to see him more than a couple times."

Ororo nodded, "Of course. Anyone is welcome to the Professor's grave." Kagome was lead through the mansion to the back where Charles grave was in a beautiful location. His grave had another grave on each side, and Kagome wondered if they were as important to the school as Charles was. "Here you are." Ororo pointed to his grave. "You're more than welcome to spend as much time as you need. I'll let the students know that we have a guest and not to disturb the garden while you're here. I'll come and lead you to the door when you're done." Kagome smiled and nodded in thanks. Ororo left with a last look at the girl and went inside.

Kagome sat next to his grave, she didn't speak though. She learned that speaking to the graves of friends only ended up making her angry, so she left herself to her thoughts about her friend and her few memories of him. By the time she was done thinking over their relationship she'd been there an hour. She stood and placed a kiss on the stone and walked away with the parting words, "You've had a great life, my friend. I hope your after life is just a meaningful."

Ororo met her at the door the mansion. "Are you glad you came?"

"Very. I am always delighted to share in the lives of my friends."

Ororo nodded. "May I ask how you knew the Professor?" Ororo was leading her to the front door now.

"I knew him before he opened the school. We only knew each other briefly but he was a wonderful man when I met him. And I apparently made enough of an impact to have my name put in his will as someone to contact in case of death."

Ororo looked shocked; she knew that the Professor didn't open the school until the seventies which would make this young girl seemingly very old… "But if you knew him before the school opened you must be-"

"Logan?" Kagome looked at the man who glanced at her on his way across the house. Logan looked up with a questioning glance. "Oh my, it's really you!" Kagome ran at Logan and wrapped her arms around his neck giving him a quick hug before letting go and holding him at an arm's length. "How have you been? I didn't know you'd be living with Charles! How long have you known him? Where's Kayla? How have you two been?" Kagome was excited, not only was she given the chance to say goodbye to Charles but she was also running into an old acquaintance, how exciting!

Logan removed her hands from his shoulders and took a step back, "Who the hell are you?"

So... Yeah. Not at all what I intended to write next. I'm supposed to be finishing my other stories first but this once struck me while eating breakfast.
