Chapter 2: Changes

Flashback:

Kagome had finished her shopping and was currently packing it into her large, yellow backpack when she heard a knock at the front door. Thinking it was Hojo she was about to say goodmorning politely and adress his name but was shocked when she saw who had his feet planted on the front step of her front door.

"Sesshoumaru!" she said astonished.

"Wha...what are y..you doing here?" questioned Kagome slightly confused.

End of Flashback.

Sesshoumaru lightly chuckled which scared her even more.

"I guess our previous reunion was when Inuyasha was still alive." exclaimed the demon lord and although it was strange enough to have him in her era, it scared Kagome even more to see that Sesshoumaru was actually wearing modern era clothing and that in fact he looked much, much older as if he were now in his mid-twenties.

"Huh? Wh...what do you mean still alive?" questioned Kagome now more afraid of Sesshoumaru's words then Sesshoumaru himself.

"May I come in and then I shall explain everything including the fact of why I happen to be here in your home at the moment when you know me to despise humans and be a cold, dark demon." said Sesshoumaru who happened to hit the nail right on the head.

"H...hai." stuttered Kagome as she opened the door for Sesshoumaru and led him to the living room where they sat opposite to each other.

"Hmm..., where to began. Well I guess I should start by explaining why I happen to be in the appearance I'm in now. Kagome I'm sure you've noticed that I happen to look older that what I look like in the feudal era, correct?"

"Hai."

"Then why do you think that is, shall I give you a hint? Inuyoukai such as myself live for many centuries but as we get older the longer it takes for us to age." hinted Sesshoumaru as Kagome's eyes widened.

"You mean you've lived up to the modern era and are only mid-twenties for human years. Oh kami I guess that would explain your attire and everything." announced Kagome shocked beyond belief.

"Right on the mark as you always are." commented Sesshoumaru smiling at the young miko.

"What do you mean 'as I always am'?" asked Kagome as she slightly leaned forward.

"Hmm..., well I guess that I should explain myself a bit more." replied Sesshoumaru as a tint of red appeared on his cheeks, Kagome sat bolt right up after seeing his physical reaction.

"Wh...why are you blushing now I'm seriously scared!" exclaimed Kagome, moving as far back into the chair as possible but Sesshoumaru merely smiled at her antics.

"I've changed and trust me so will you." answered Sesshoumaru staring straight into the miko's beautiful murky, dark brown eyes.

"So what exactly happened for you to know so much about me?" questioned Kagome frowning slightly.

"I cannot tell you that for your future self would beat me into a pulp but she sent me here to just warn you of my brother's death which would occur tonight but you must trust me on this one even if he does die nothing extreme will happen but I may warn you that it wasn't his fault if the situation that happened to your previous self happens to you but may I warn you that even if you do travel to me in my past I shall be the same except I'll hate you less due to my brother wouldn't have been with you but hey he's grown on me now. I don't loathe Inuyasha anymore and trust me in time you will understand, but I guess that is all I am allowed to say...,"

"Kagome!" yelled a familiar voice that the two in the loungeroom both knew too well.

"Oh kasa Inuyasha's here already, umm... maybe we should go outside before he destroys my house in anger with you." said Kagome grabbing Sesshoumaru's hand and leading him out the back.

"Hai, that would be very wise Kagome." said Sesshoumaru allowing Kagome to pull him out the back door where the two abruptly stopped because there in the middle of the garden stood Inuyasha.

Kagome quickly discarded Sesshoumaru's hand and walked towards the hanyou.

"Inuyasha?"

"Wh...what's Sesshoumaru doing here and why were you holding his hand?" screamed Inuyasha towards the young miko.

"Umm...Sesshoumaru maybe you should explain your age to Inuyasha." said Kagome to the modern era inuyoukai.

"Hai. Inuyasha I am a different, older Sesshoumaru and trust me I have become much kinder."

"Kinder he says, trust me! Why the fuck would I trust an asshole like you, you hate me so you'll answer my question 'older brother' and tell me why the fuck you are here in Kagome's era and not in your own!" yelled Inuyasha as Sesshoumaru sighed.

"Still as dim as ever I see, Inuyasha what I meant by I am older is that I am now over 5000 years old which means I have lived through the feudal era to the now modern era. My reason for being here is to warn Kagome of your death so that she may prevent it for as I assume today was the day you nearly went to hell with Kikyou but decided against it because you happen to love Kagome and haven't admitted your feelings to her yet which is why she didn't understand what you meant by 'how you felt'." exclaimed Sesshoumaru as Inuyasha stared at his older brother in shock.

"I see you and Kagome now understand, tell me Inuyasha with your sudden leave from Kikyou do you actually think she'll wait forever?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that tonight she plans to take you to hell with her, 'younger brother'!" replied Sesshoumaru ending his sentence in a monotoned voice.

"No she can't!" screamed Kagome in fright for Inuyasha.

"She will unless Inuyasha chooses you for a mate." exclaimed the inu-taiyoukai looking directly at his hanyou brother's eyes.

"Wha..., no I won't I won't choose between the two. I CAN'T!" screamed Inuyasha as the young miko cringed in fear.

"I...Inu...Inuyasha, I know you love Kikyou and Kikyou loves you but did you ever think that maybe I do too. Why can't you be positive for once, Inuyasha why can't you realize that Kikyou's Dead! Why can't you accept that once she's in hell she won't go away but I will for I'm still alive!" shouted Kagome, tears pouring down her cheeks.

"Because Kikyou died risking her life for the sacred jewel so that she may seal me to the shikon no ki!" answered Inuyasha feeling tormented by Kagome's words.

"But Inuyasha if you really love her you will let me go but if you really love me then you will let her go, so all I ask is for you to look deep into your heart and find the one you accept!" pleaded the young miko as streams of tears poured down her face.

"I'm sorry Kagome but I can't for if we died together we would go our seperate ways for we are too different. I do love you but my love for Kikyou is stronger. I'm sorry Kagome for I know this is breaking your heart, forgive me but what you and I want is impossible. Farewell my sweet miko." said Inuyasha as tears also streamed down his face as he ran into the well, yet his tears weren't as full of the amount of pain that Kagome's tears carried.

"Why Inuyasha..., WHY?" screamed Kagome feeling herself collapse to her knees as she covered her face with the palms of her hands and wept, feeling as if her world had ended right there an then.

Sesshoumaru felt tormented for he'd known this had been coming and although he'd tried to prevent it was still to no avail.

"Inuyasha you fool, you chose that bitch over this sweet, caring young and LIVING woman." thought Sesshoumaru as he knelt beside Kagome and picked her up gently.

"Why? Sesshoumaru why did he do this to me?" questioned Kagome looking into his sweet and golden, caring eyes.

"I do not know but I know one thing that shall help you,"

"What's that?"

"Kagome if you wish to be happy you must go back to the feudal era and face your fears but don't worry, you will not be alone." answered Sesshoumaru, lying Kagome onto her bed which he'd easily found by following her scent.

"Now sleep Kagome but unfortunately I must take my leave. Farewell my past love." said Sesshoumaru kissing the miko's forehead as she fell into a deep sleep, Sesshoumaru then left, hoping, praying that she'd be alright.

Kagome's eyes snapped wide open as a lightning bolt crashed onto the roof. She then quickly slipped into her slippers along with her baby blue silk dressing gown. Once finished she walked down the stairs and walked outside, standing underneath the cool rain as if she were washing away her sadness but unfortunately Inuyasha's words repeated in her mind and due to the pressure Kagome couldn't hold it in anymore. The young miko began to walk until she reached the well where she jumped over the edge feeling the warm, mystical blue light encase her body. Not soon after, Kagome arrived in the feudal era and once she had climbed over the edge she suddenly started to run. She ran and ran not even having a care in the world for she knew no one could stop her. She was free and as the realization hit her, she ran even faster. Never once did the miko stop and although the cuts from the branches stung her and the rain that fell upon her made her cold, she did not stop. The young miko ran until an exhausting and overwhelming feeling forced her to collapse to the hard, cold, wet and muddy ground.

To Be Continued.
