AN: Wow...It's been so long since I have posted anything on here. *Drops to knees* Please Forgive Me! I've been so busy for so long. But I had to sit down and start writing yet another one, because once again it was stuck in my head. *sigh* I'm hopeless I know. But I have been working on new chapters for my other stories too I promise. :-) I'm really trying my best. Now with that said...On with the story! ENJOY!

"Lady Priestess?" The old man took a step towards her. "Priestess, is everything alright?"

Kagome slowly opened her eyes. "It's here" Just as the words left her mouth the ground beneath their feet began to shake. The by standing villagers screamed and ran, seeking safety. Kagome pulled out an arrow and drew her bow.

The demon burst through the ground with a loud roar. Its blood thirsty eyes easily found her and it lunged. Its mouth open wide and razor sharp teeth ready to tear into fresh flesh. Kagome aimed her arrow and drew back with all her strength. "Die Demon" Her arrow flew with haste and it hit its mark. The demon let out a screeching cry before falling silent and fading away.

Kagome lowered her bow. "It's done"

The villagers hesitated for only a moment before joyously surrounding her. Words of thanks were given and some shed tears of relief. "I am in your debt Lady Priestess" The village elder bowed his head. "How can we ever repay your kindness?"

Kagome shouldered her bow and smiled. "You owe me nothing. It's reward enough for me to know your village is now safe."

And it was the truth. She found nothing more fulfilling then saving the lives of the innocent. It is her duty as a priestess and it's the best way she's found to help heal her torn heart.

It's been three years since the destruction of the sacred jewel and the end to Naraku's evil deeds. The jewel disappeared and along with it went the ability for her to pass through the well. Every attempt that she took ended in heartbreak. She was trapped, left in the Feudal Era without a way home.

It was heartbreaking and at first she didn't think she would get over such a great loss. However it didn't take more than a week to swallow her sorrows and begin a new life. She trained night and day, improving her powers as a priestess. She decided if she was going to be here she might as well master her skills and put them to use. Though now, as she looks back on that harsh first year, it's clear that it was merely to help her forget. Not of the home that she could not return to, but of her feelings for InuYasha.

InuYasha. A name that use to only cross her mind on days when her powers have been strained to their limit and her heart weakens. Though these last few months he's been appearing in her dreams and her nightmares. They are memories replaying in her mind of the times that have already passed and fears of days yet to come. The most recent being a terrifying glimpse at her demise. The mere thought of the nightmare sends fear rushing through her body.

But what tears at her heart is when she's struggling for her last breath the only thing she see's is InuYasha staring down at her, watching her die and doing nothing. It's always so real and leaves her waking in the dead of night feeling terrified. Her body still able to feel the unbearable pain of her body dying.

"Please Priestess" An elderly woman held out a small tied cloth sack. "It's not much, but please except it as thanks."

Kagome smiled and bowed her head. "Thank you" She took the sack. "My duty here is done. I shall be on my way."

To where? She didn't know. She never did. Wondering the country healing the sick and wounded, slaying demons that threatened the innocent. That was all she knew now. It was her life. Her choice. However she's begun to notice that slowly she's been getting closer to the village. It's the one place where she left everything behind. Whatever the reason, whether it be her heart's desire or an unconscious action, she wasn't going to fight it. If it was her fate she would face it, even if that meant living her nightmare and dying by his hands.

"InuYasha!...InuYasha!" Miroku scanned the area. "InuYasha!"

"Miroku you'll wake the baby" Sango whispered from the doorway of their hut.

He sighed. "Sorry. It's just InuYasha's disappeared again." He closed his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest. "I'm beginning to worry."

Sango stepped out of the doorway and nodded in agreement. "He has been leaving more often these days."

"Yes, and he stays away longer each time." Miroku let out another sigh. His eyes opened feeling Sango's hand on his shoulder.

She gave him a reassuring smile to go with her words. "I'm sure he's fine. He knows better than to get himself into trouble."

Miroku gave a small smile and covered her hand with his. "I know" But still he couldn't shake the foreboding feeling that has been eating away at him lately. He was afraid something evil was sneaking up on them.

The air was filled with scents from all directions, but one stood out among them. Every day it grew closer and stronger. She was coming. He could feel it. And it's taken all of InuYasha's will power not to pursue it. Instead he sits at the edge of the wood. Waiting. It's been a week since he first picked up her scent on a strong gust of wind. At the time it was so faint that it dispersed as quick as it came. But it was there and it made his heart ache. And now he was intoxicated by it. He was mesmerized by the thought that she would soon be within his reach. That thought alone makes his entire body ache for her.

Two years has seemed like an entire lifetime to him. How much has she changed? How much has her power grown? Would she want to see him? That was the one question he didn't want answered, but he wasn't planning on giving her a choice. He was going to see her no matter what.

He loves her and every part of him yearns to be with her. And somewhere in his heart he believes that, despite what she told him two years ago, she loves him in return. But now this time, he wasn't going to let her go, even if he had to use force to make her stay. He wasn't going to lose her again.

AN: How was it? Was it bad? Please let me know what you thought. Thank You!
