Kagome's eyes watered as she struggled against Sesshomaru's tightening grip. She clawed at his arm wildly while her legs thrashed as if she was drowning. Finally, with the threat of death looming ever closer her powers kicked in to save her. Her eyes closed as the power surged to the tips of her fingers and once they reopened a purifying burst shot him clear out of the well house. Kagome sucked in deep breathes of air as she stomped out after the now very dazed demon lord.

Sesshomaru shook his head trying to regain his senses on the hard ground where he had landed. He watched as a very pissed off miko charged out the well house with her aura radiating a brilliant blue.

"What the hell! Seriously Sesshomaru, what the f'ing hell! I haven't seen your ass in years and the first thing that you do is attack me!" Kagome screamed throwing her arms and aura about dramatically.

Sesshomaru coughed rubbing the burn on his chest. "It has been over five hundred years miko."

"Yeah well, whatever. I don't have time for this." She said dismissing him with a wave of her hand.

"Akihiko" Sesshomaru said while moving into a standing position. The name caused Kagome to halt.

"You, you are his father?" She asked understanding why he had attacked her if it was true.

Sesshomaru was silent as he regarded her question. "He believes I am."

"What does that mean? Was he an orphan like Rin or something?" She questioned turning to face him.

The demon lord was not going to give her information that he viewed unnecessary for her to know. He merely ignored her question while dusting of his pants and said. "I will be going with you."

Kagome rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Whatever, just don't get in my way."

He growled low at the comment and watched as she headed back to the well house. He would have killed her instantly if she was not needed for the time portal to work, but when they returned he would give her the thrashing that she deserved. Sesshomaru pulled in his anger and followed after.

Once there was a cheerful, trusting and powerful time traveling miko. She saw see things that most would only dream of and befriended all types of humans and demons. She had even managed to feel the bittersweet kiss of first love only to find out that he would never be able to see her as anything more than his dead lover's reincarnation.

The miko had destroyed a great evil and purified a very powerful jewel. All had thought that the quest was over, but countless powerful men kept showing up in the village demanding the miko and the jewel for their own. Many of her friends had been wounded in fights to protect the miko and the jewel and it was breaking her heart. The miko decided it would be safer if she returned to her home in the modern world along with the jewel.

She waited for a night when everyone would be out of the village before she snuck off to the well. The miko stood by the well rolling the jewel in her hand while she took one last look at the stars. She raised her hand to stare at the jewel recalling that there are two souls locked inside that would never see such beauty. The thought made a tiny tear plip from her eye and before she even realized what she was saying the following words left her lips. "I wish the souls in this jewel could be freed from their prison."

The miko gasped as the jewel glittered with multiple colors and shot into the sky. She tried to see where the jewel had gone just as a sapphire light flashed past her and into the well. In a panic she jumped in after the sapphire light following it back to her home in the future.

The miko made sure to seal the well once she arrived on the other side. She didn't want to risk anything else escaping into unprepared Tokyo. The miko dashed out of the well house in search of the light, but the light had vanished into the darkness. She groaned and walked over to the god tree to sulk, but someone was already sitting or should I say sleeping pleasantly.

The miko tapped the small girl on the shoulder. "Hey, little girl you need to wake up."

The toddler rubbed her sleepy eyes looking up at the miko and said. "Mama."

Once there was a mesmeric, reticent and astute demon lord who swore that love would never be his downfall. In his mind; to love was to lose ones since of self and in some cases even your life. Through out time many had tried to remain by his side, but it is hard to stay with someone who will never show you any emotion. There were a few that had accepted him and a few that he had merely tolerated.

Then one day as the demon lord was headed to the village of a powerful miko to visit his ward he stumbled upon something unexpected. He had almost reached the village when the sounds of a whimpering cry caught his attention. His brow rose in question when he looked down to find a bare inu baby wailing and shaking beneath the god tree. He stood frozen still staring down at the helpless creature, because for the first time in his life he had no idea what to do.

The day was starting to fade into night and the air was growing colder. The sounds of the helpless baby had drawn out many hungry demons that were looking for an easy snack. The demon lord frowned realizing that he could not just simply walk away from one of his own and keep his honor. He leaned down in a swift movement and scooped the baby up into his arm.

The demon lord snarled at the baby when it grabbed his hair, but the action only caused the baby to giggle and tug harder. He looked the baby straight in the eyes and said "Unhand my person."

The baby yipped holding the strong gaze as if to say. "I will not."

"Hn" was the lord's reply to the defiant tiny being in his arm.

He knitted his brow as a feeling of pride welled up inside of his chest. He quickly shirked it off thinking it would not make since to be proud of something for being obstinate. Wrapping the baby in his haori he started to head back to the western lands only saying one last thing to the baby.

"You will be called Akihiko."

Time flowed quickly for Sesshomaru after the infant came into his life. The demon lord was obsessed with removing any threats to the child. In doing so he had secured a vast empire of demons that would do his bidding. His home was filled with servants, masters, teachers and trainers for the child.

Sesshomaru watched as the infant grew into an inu that would revival even his great and terrible father. That was when he also noticed a change in the boy's eyes when he would look at him. They no longer held the same mischievous defiance they once had. Now they only held contempt.

The demon lord stood looking out at the ocean thinking it was bitterly fitting that the boy challenged him here. He briefly wondered if his father had felt the same kick to his stomach the last time that they had spoken. Sesshomaru couldn't deal with the betrayal that flowed throughout his entire body. So he did the only thing that he could against the boy and knocked his pride down a notch.

It has been many years since Sesshomaru and Akihiko's conversation on the beach and to this day only silence hangs between the two. Sesshomaru avoided the boy that he thought of as a son in favor conquering the business world. His throne now sat on top of a skyscraper where he could look down on the world and all the people whom walked in it. The demon minions now longer fought with swords at his bidding, but with contracts and words. He had everything a demon or man could want, but he felt numb.

His life continued on like this until the night that he received the phone call from Kagome. The demon lord had not been even remotely prepared to hear that Akihiko had been sent to the past and was currently missing. Sesshomaru's instincts had taken over and by the time he reached Kagome his was nothing more than a rabid dog ready to attack.

A/N: The next chapter well be held in the past. It get to find out what mischief the kids have been up to. Of course Sesshomaru and Kagome are going to stay a little pissed at each, but I cant just have them jump in the sack that is crazy. Anyway Hi Sugar and Angelicatt it has been awhile. Hope this answered some of your questions about the kids. As for Kagome I am making her in mid to late twenties.
