Kagome: come on I want to get to the story already

Me: shush I'm getting there ps I don't own Bleach or Inuyasha…koso

Thanks to my reviewers

The wave of spiritual pressure rips me away from my unhappy thoughts. My head snaps up as I realize it is coming from the area that I last sensed Kagome in. I hurtle towards the hollow and soon arrive with my sword drawn. That's when she sees me. She's standing in the middle of the clearing and for the life of me I can't remember her or her friends coming in any time. Her eyes widen as she looks at me but she turns toward the hollow as if to fight it. before I get a chance to tell her to get out of the way one of the men grab me and holds me still "don't struggle and I won't knock you out" he growls as he watches Kagome and the other man face the hollow.

"They don't know what they're doing I need to help them" I yell trying to break lose only to be smashed into the ground.

"Feh they may not know what the thing is but that doesn't mean they can't kill it just shut up and watch human".

I turn back in time to see the other man take a step back as the girl races forward her fist glowing an odd pink color. When her fist makes contact with the hollow it dissolves turning into a smiling human spirit "thank you miko you have let me rest in peace".

The girl smiles "you're welcome now go in peace to the afterlife and be at peace".

The spirit vanishes and the girl turns back to us. I had forgotten the man behind me till he hauled up to my feet. He shoves me forward and I stumble into the arms of the second man who radiates contempt. "So this is the human that has been stalking my sister" he said in a growl that sent chills down my spine.

"Oh come now Sesshy leave the poor guy alone I haven't made it easy on him after all".

"You can say that again" I mutter under my breath not realizing just how sharp this guys ears were.

"What was that mortal? Did you just insult my little sister"? The outrage on the man's face would have been funny if it wasn't paired with a killing intent and pointed towards me. "Pick up your sword" he growls pulling out a sword of his own when it hits me these people shouldn't be able to see me to begin with! What the hell obviously they weren't normal people. I drew my sword deciding not to kill the man when he was surrounded with a bright pink barrier.

"Sesshy are you nuts? I can't let you fight him over a little insult if I did there would be a line of bodies from here to D.C.! Put your sword away and we'll talk ok"?

Once he put away his sword she sighed in relief "you had best thank her" guy 1 said from behind me "she just saved your ass from a major ass kicking right there".

He stepped around me heading towards the girl. Who punched him playfully as if they were family or really good friends. "So" she says "turning to me "who are you and what do you want with me"?

Kagome

I watched the boy debate whether or not to tell us the reason unfortunately Sesshomaru saw it as well. "You had best not lie boy I will know if you do. You have been warned my wrath is not for the living".

The boy paled need to think of something better than the boy to call him his name would be nice I thought. "Hey what's your name"?

I walked over and stood before him ignoring the pointed glare from Sesshy. "My name is Kurosaki Ichigo and I was ordered to follow you I don't know why so don't ask me".

I grin at the name "Ichigo really your parents must have loved you to give you that name" (hint sarcasm).

He grimaced obviously use to people making fun of his name but with his bright orange hair that from the smell was all natural it wasn't hard to understand. My grin stretched into a smile "my name is Higurashi Kagome as you probably know this is Inuyasha and Sesshomaru or if you're not to scared of him Sesshy as I call him".

Kurosaki looked at Sesshomaru as if debating to call him that when my phone rang. I pulled it and answered it before I checked the number. "Kagome you need to get home right now Rin's water just broke and I can't take her to a hospital not if you're going to deliver it".

I hung up the phone and started running with the boys including Kurosaki on my heels.

We arrived in time for me to get a birthing room set up and for Kurosaki to be introduced to my mother who quickly asked what we were referring to. Not having the time to ask why I left to help with the birth of Sesshy's newest child. A girl was born with her feet kicking and a big grin on her face this one's going to be just like her momma I prophesized handing the squirming yet silent bundle to her waiting mother. I left to give the parents' time to bond with their new child and headed down stairs where Inuyasha and Kurosaki waited. My mother was in the middle of saying something when I appeared. Without a word she sat me down and handed me a cup of tea as Inuyasha slipped upstairs to see his newest niece. "No matter how many times I do that I am tired afterwards" I sighed and blew on my tea.

"You do that often"?

I nod towards Kurosaki "yes I have help birth every single one of their children and let me tell you I have more respect of the people who spend all day, day in and day out, doing that stuff".

I rolled my shoulders trying to get the stiffness out of them. I sighed again and turned to Kurosaki "alright now back to business how come my mother wasn't able to see you in the beginning"?

Kurosaki paused taking a deep breath and began the explanations while everyone else got acquainted with the new life upstairs. By the time he was done night had fallen and we had phoned over to his place telling his dad he would be sleeping at a friend's house and I had made arraignments with my mom. "So you're telling me that you are a shinigami and that you and your friends have been ordered to get ready for some large and very deadly fight coming this winter"?

He nods not bothering to reply as I lean back to take it all in "well I guess that isn't near as bad as me" I said with a grin that seemed to startle the poor guy.

"You believe me"?

"Yeah" I said with a shrug. "Look it's getting late I'll show you were you can sleep for the night and I'll do the story telling tomorrow alright"? He had no choice but to comply.

I slept uneasily that night wondering how I could tell a stranger the story of how I fell in love only to get rejected time and time again. I knew I wasn't going to sleep tonight so I did the next best thing I climbed up out on my roof and looked up at the stars. While sitting there I began to sing. It was a song my mother had song to me while I tried to live my life without worrying about my friends made in the feudal era who still haven't found me. The song was old but familiar to me as it rose up in me I couldn't help but give a sad smile because of the way it described my life so perfectly little did I realize that I had and audience.

Ichigo

I wasn't tired and tossing and turning wasn't getting me anywhere so instead I got up to walk hoping the night air would help me relax. I opened the door as quietly as I could not wanting to wake anyone else which was why I heard her sing. I shut the door and followed the sound of the song till I was standing underneath a tree and I saw her. She was sitting on the roof and the moon outlined her making her for one moment look like a goddess morning the loss of her mortal lover. The song captured my attention only strengthen my idea of the goddess. The song was sad but beautiful as many things in this world are. It seems that sometimes the only time we can create something beautiful is when we don't have the eyes to see it. She finished her song and without thinking I clapped. She snapped around to me her eyes wide before giving me a wan smile. I jumped up on the roof and sat next to her as a breeze sprang up to play with her hair. "You sing well" I said the only thing that came to my mind "what is that song though it seemed so sad".

Higurashi smiled slightly "it's a song about a girl who feel in love with the wrong man over and over and was rejected every time".

I turned back to the stars that hung over head digesting those words and the meanings that I sensed where behind it. I didn't ask for any information and none was given this was a girl that knew how to keep a secret something most girls couldn't or didn't know how to do. "So why such a sad song" I asked bluntly wincing at how insensitive it sounded.

She laughed "ah I thought hell would freeze over before I missed it when someone was so blunt with me. Those that I speak to won't dare do such a thing because they fear my brother's wrath which I can understand but am I simply that. Another pretty face that my brother has with him where ever he goes. I have so much more to offer if someone was just brave enough to ask".

I smile "though that little speech was beautiful you didn't answer my question".

A warm smile spread across her face changing it dramatically it was true that she wasn't that bad to look at beautiful even but when she smiled like that it was enough to make even the gods envious. I wondered how someone so radiant could have been overlooked for so long. "The reason I sing is so that I can clear my mind and settle my thoughts so I can tell you my story as you told me yours. My story holds many people's own thoughts and views and I cannot tell you why they did something for I don't know. You would have better luck asking them directly though I do warn you that I wouldn't because many have lost something in this tale and it hurts to be reminded".
