Winter
A cold wind blew hard on Kagome's back as she headed home from school. She cursed herself for not grabbing her hat and scarf this morning. Since the weather wasn't looking so good and the snow was coming down much heavier than when she left the school grounds behind her. Crossing her arms tighter over her chest she pushed through the cold wind.
Taking a not so well used short cut home Kagome started to hear something. It started out soft but soon it worked its way up in volume. As she rounded the corner she found a man with long silver hair that brushed the ground walking her way. He wore a long white trench coat with a red scarf hanging around his neck that fluttered in the wind. He wore a white suite as well and looked like a businessman or lawyer. He wore a scowl on his face but it softened for a moment.
"Don't you just love the snow?" He nearly whispered before walking past her.
She felt a sadness well up in her as she took in his words and nearly cried. Not looking back she made it back home in one unfrozen piece. Her mom had already had two mugs of hot coco setting out. Which Kagome took adding in a small handful of tiny marshmallows. Taking the hot drink up to her room where she pulled off her now wet socks that had been snow crusted only minutes before.
Kagome changed out of her school uniform; and instead put on a pair of soft pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt that matched them. She sat down on her bed sipping at her coco as Buyo hopped up on the bed and curled up next to her. She gave a sigh as she thought about what the man had said.
A year later in the feudal era…
Kagome heard Inuyasha yell for his mother as he chased after his brother. Following a bit behind she found Sesshomaru off to the side. Looking annoyed that he had yet to get what he wanted. She found him childish and started to giggle at the thought of him turning out to be that man she had met on that snowy day. He turned his piercing golden eyes on her.
"Sorry but your so…well your so childish." She said with a snort that turned into a giggles that became a full blown laugh.
"Lord Sesshomaru is not childish you dirty human!" Jaken cried while swinging around his staff of two heads.
With all that she got mad and threw a stone but missed and hit the reflection of Inuyasha. Saving him from drowning like the dog he was.
Three months later…
Kagome walked along the icy streets of her own time as she laugh at how she tricked dog ears into letting her spend the holidays at home. She decided that she would relax since all the demon killing was catching up to her.
Today she had done some Christmas shopping with her friends and was now headed home. The snow and cold had seeped into her bones making her long for a nice cup of her mama's hot coco. So she decided that she would use the short cut since it was close. Down the frozen sidewalk with bags in hand she stopped suddenly and heard it. It was a song that she could now sort of make out and it brought tears to her dark blue eyes.
She hadn't noticed the crunching of snow till the silver haired man who reminded her now of Sesshomaru stood before her. The corners of her lips turned up as she thought of this man acting like a petulant child that never gets his way.
"Snow keeps the child in us all alive." Kagome said in a hushed whisper before walking past him.
"I am no child now Miko." The man called from over his shoulder but Kagome didn't seem to hear as a hard wind blew just then.
