Hello everyone, it's been so long since I've updated. I'm really sorry, all I can say is I had overwhelmingly important matters to attend to.

I've deleted most of the chapters "To See the Unnoticed When Blind" and started out fresh in order to write them better. Rather then Kagome telling Sango she meets Kikyo in the forest… So that's the only real change in here as of right now. ; Sorry you guys.

"Damn it Kagome we should have left all ready! He don't need to be babied any more than he already has been cause we got jewel shards to find!" The hanyou glared daggers toward his companion whining about jewel shards for the fifth time that hour. Inuyasha, he was so good at that now wasn't he?

"We are not leaving until he can actually walk and with his healing abilities impaired at the moment he won't survive without help. I mean he may have a slip of a chance but that really isn't quite a good thing to bet on." Sango and Miroku sighed, Kagome would not leave to look for jewel shards and Inuyasha would not leave her alone with Sesshoumaru and so it didn't matter how much he yelled at her or how much she screamed back at him. Both were so stubborn and, never to be said to each of them, simple minded.

"He don't want you to help him; he's too proud for that." Kagome narrowed her eyes at the hanyou before looking behind her at the demon lord who she could see was slightly peeved at his brothers constant arguing. Kagome kind of felt bad for him for she knew how much he hated Inuyasha and yet he had to listen to his brothers' obscenities.

"He'll stop me when he wants to stop me." Determination; when women are determined you will not break them for they can be far more stubborn than a child like hanyou. And that's just what the miko was, determined.

"And what about this dream shit? You should tell us so we know how to defend our selves and you!" Some how Kagome instinctively knew he'd say something about what she had seen and refused to tell.

"I already said that you screwed it up majorly last time when I told you. Do you remember Inuyasha? You could have killed us in your demon rage had it not been for me." Tears they were running down her face. "You can't count on me and couldn't so that's why you will and did do stupid things." He watched her hiss through clenched teeth, ears flattening down on his head. "Is it because I'm human, your precious jewel detector or is it because I look so much like Kikyo that you can't let me try even once at anything!"

That got his attention. He grabbed her wrists and looked her dead in the eye. She could see the anger slowly boiling in some sort of rage, yet she also found she didn't care. "She has nothing to do with this Kagome…"

"Exactly I'm Kagome but I remember a time when you had your check list of things I did and didn't do like Kikyo. Tell me Inuyasha do you still have that check list?" Now he couldn't look at her, no matter how hard he tried. When he didn't answer she sighed quietly. "Leave me be for a while." She pushed away from him and sat nearer to Sesshoumaru, not close but close enough for notice.

She found his aura soothing in an odd manner and while she had so many mixed emotions it sort of pressed them down and away until she felt the tears in her eyes disappear. Looking fully toward said demon she found that his bandages had once again been soaked by blood. Yet the only good thing about this was that the blood obviously took longer to bleed through the cloth, a sign that he was healing. Relief swept over her like a wave for some reason; maybe she was happy he'd be able to go soon or something. But there again if that were the case then she wouldn't be caring for his wounds would she? So it was more than likely that he would be in their company, and they his, for a long while.

Standing she reached for her first aid kit which was a few feet away from the demon lord before coming to his side. "I need to clean out the wound and replace the bandage." He, of course, said nor did a single thing. Reaching out toward his throat she unwrapped the wet cloth, causing blood to stain her fingers. She didn't mind though for she was quite used to this sort of thing. There was always blood in the feudal era, no matter where you went. It was almost to disturbing to return at times but some how she managed to come again and again no matter how depressing the images of those defeated. Sesshoumaru reminded her of the dead…

"So cold…" It was the only way she could think to describe him yet in her sight, it was so different, so very different. His eyes, Sesshoumaru the Demon lord of the Western lands known for his emotionless ness, had been unbelievably warm. She still couldn't believe what it was she had seen and probably never would until that day. Kagome, she would not change the future for if she were meant to love Sesshoumaru she would even though this demon before her didn't seem too appealing to her romantic side maybe he was the right one… Although she really wished for Inuyasha to love her but he cares far too much for Kikyo to ever notice some twit of a girl like her.

Sesshoumaru was so patient with her ministrations that it was almost annoying. He didn't argue or say a word, even though he really couldn't. He was so different from Inuyasha and yet so alike. Sighing she unwrapped the straps about his stomach in order to apply gauze. The tear or really hole, it was so disgusting to touch and see the re forming organs but he needed the aid. How was it that he could handle such things or even stay alive? Demon or not he should be dead. She looked up to his face for a moment to find the only sign he was in pain, a small sheen of sweat beading over his forehead.

So alike and so different, really it was the only thing crossing her mind. She couldn't help but try and understand who he really was on the inside. Kagome wanted to know so much more than she did; knowing full and well it was her curiosity at work. Sometimes it really could be a burden, to resemble a cat with her constant wondering of things. "Dogs are curios creatures too." At that the miko almost wanted to laugh. Here she was pondering what the demon before her could truly be like and she found her self making the most absurd and off topic statement in her mind.

There again was it really off topic for Inuyasha and his half brother each seemed rather curious individuals them selves. Inuyasha, he's always so interested in things that come from her era even after he gets used to them rather quickly. He seems to try and figure out other ways to make the items useful which at times could be funny and at others extremely annoying. She sighed lightly as some memories came to mind of many very annoying moments with the hanyou.

Sesshoumaru had, when they first met, been inquisitive as to what she was for she had not seemed human in the least. She pulled Tetsuiga from its binding with ease whiel the two blood brothers were unable, stood up to him by shouting or firing arrows and wore peculiar clothes thus sparking his intrigue. She knew she had and it made Kagome feel strangely pleased that she had to make him think for every time they'd see one another he seemed to ponder over her for the briefest of moments. There again he had to make her ponder as well which really wasn't fun.

"Kagome what are you thinking about?" The miko jumped in surprise at hearing Shippo's voice so suddenly.

"Oh um… Nothing really important why?" Before answering she took a quick glance at Sesshoumaru unknowingly.

"No reason you just seemed really out of it."

"Why would you say that?" Confusion was written all over her face which made the boy want to laugh.

"Well you finished bandaging Sesshoumaru about seven minutes ago but you're still sitting here beside him." Looking at the demon again she noticed a small nod as if too answer her question.

"Oh um… I'm just a little uh-out of it right now Shippo." Kagome blushed while she spoke, embarrassed at her slip up. "Forgive my rudeness Sesshoumaru-sama." She had bowed down low in order to show her respect and sincerity though he couldn't see. It was still the correct thing to do because of his stature.

Every one's eyes bulged at her words including the demon lords. He just had not been as noticeable with it as they had. He even turned his head in the miko's direction slightly in order to- to do what he wasn't sure. "Why the Hell would you give him the damned title? He don't deserve it!"

"On the contrary Inuyasha, if he can deal with your rudeness this long then he does and plus he plays a major role in my vision thus he deserves it." Every one remained speechless as Kagome simply stood and walked toward the woodland. She felt semi trapped at the moment and irritable so she didn't want to deal with a barking dog.

"Sango, make sure that no one follows me and also don't let Inuyasha get so bold as to do anything stupid to Sesshoumaru-sama while I'm gone."

"Hey you can't-!" The hanyou piped down immediately, the look in her eye meant something far worse then a sit if he didn't shut up. And he didn't want to know what that could be.

"Yeah sure Kagome." With that the miko left behind four equally stunned people, and Shippo being the first to come out of his stupor snickered for Inuyasha made the perfect picture with his mouth agape.

A small distance off the miko heard the two bickering, but their qualm was getting quieter and quieter the further she got away. That made her somewhat happy, that she could just disappear on her own for a while. Every one needs a break from Inuyasha's whining, even Miroku sometimes can't handle it and usually he's the more patient one.

The sky, it was so dark tonight… strangely dark…. The sun had yet to vanish entirely beyond the grove of trees but still, it was just far to dim. She didn't like it and silently began to regret leaving the protection that her friends offered her. If she screamed though, Inuyasha would hear her right? At least she hoped her would hear her… "Maybe I should go back now…" Looking around the miko took a step in the direction she had just come from when a soul collector skimmed over her body.

She shuddered a little in surprise, and looked to the right of her only to find Kikyo among the foliage watching her with intrigue. "Kagome, what was it you dreamt?" Her tone, it was frigid like a glacier, something that made Kagome believe hell would freeze over from hearing.

"I… I uh…" Kikyo stepped toward her, eyes narrowing.

"No matter, I can find out what it was and anything else you've thought of if I wish." Kagome stepped back but soon found three of Kikyo's followers wrapped around her torso and legs. The older, dead priestess placed her index finger to her reincarnations forehead. "Show me, Kagome."

With Naraku

"So the miko has the fore sight as well Kanna?" Naraku's cold yet fiery dark voice sliced through the emptiness within the small room. The girl had come to him speaking of what Kagome dreamt.

"Yes and it is a sight which is able to change time if need be." Red eyes, which had been closed, snapped open in surprise.

"Could it change even what you had seen Kanna?" The half breed felt his heart jump up a notch in his chest, slight worry etching over his features.

"Yes, but only if she wishes to change the future she has seen." Naraku narrowed his eyes while watching the void that he had created some time ago.

"Do you believe that she shall change what is to come?" If she did then his plan could easily be thwarted. Gripping the shikon all the tighter he felt sweat begin to accumulate about his forehead and hands. Hadn't he figured this out already? He was so-so nervous all of a sudden and he could understand why. Together as allies and not as lovers they could defeat him easily but as lovers if one were hurt the other would be blinded by some sort of rage and thus die easily in battle.

"No." Naraku smirked, sighing in relief. "But their love may be so strong that you could not kill them." His attention was immediately gripped by her words, all relief dissipated into slight fear.

"How can I stop this?"

"I am unable to fore tell that currently." She bowed low before exiting the room, in order to gather information he supposed. The hanyou cursed the pair to high heaven. Sesshoumaru would thwart his plans once again. He would never release his desire for vengeance on the demon after what he had done all those years ago.

Oh Naraku would never forget the day when Sesshoumaru took something very dear from him, a first love. He was a higher form of spider demon at that time and knew a human woman who stood out amongst all else with her purification abilities. The half breed couldn't remember when he first felt affection for her, it was so long ago but he knew it had to do with the fact that she was a naturally kind soul.

He smirked at the irony of it all. Naraku himself had been happy and, if you wished to say it, a loving individual to all living beings. He did not hate or ruin the lives of those around him, simply lived his life. She had admired him for that and somehow a friendship grew, for he had been-lonely. The villagers came to care for him as there own after time though some still feared him because he was a still demon. Too humans, all demons are the same and it can be said demons feel the same way toward humans. But then, it hadn't mattered at all. He had been so happy and content with her by his side, loving her silently from the shadows. He was afraid to expel his interest in her.

Naraku remembered how many times he had battled countless demons along with her, protecting her from any danger and whisking her to safety should she have fallen. So many close calls had each seen and simply laughed about it a day or so later. Those times were the most wonderful when staying beside her. Those were the moments that haunted his dreams, like a piece of his heart were trying to return.

Sighing, he recalled just how many times he ran his hands through her long, silky black hair in order to braid the tresses. Her ivory skin shown so brilliantly under moon and sun and her sapphire eyes, oh those eyes destroyed his inner most strength when he looked into them. So many times during these moments he wanted to tell her how he cared and how he could never stop her name or image from running across his mind.

But he never did and never would. Two or three years after they had met one another some how she found the demon lord injured, lying against a stone. She had made the fire neko, a companion of hers, stay with the Inu youkai in order to come to him for aid. Naraku understood her request and came to the lord's side. There was so great an amount of blood loss he didn't even notice that she and Naraku were carrying him upon the fire cat demon to a near by abandoned hut.

The spider had to lift Sesshoumaru from the flooring in order for the young woman to work at healing his wounds. She, as a human, moved slowly and carefully but he didn't mind, she was trying to something good for someone, which made him happy for when she helped a person and brought them back to health she was cheerful.

Sesshoumaru lay in an unconscious state for many, many days. The youkai blood took time to replenish for that was not the most important part of his body. It was the large gash running through his heart that needed to be taken care of the most. Thus you can assume there were many sleepless nights when concerning the youkai. But that was the way the young miko was, she would not leave a person to suffer like so. This always attracted Naraku ever more, like a moth to the flame. He had never imagined that his wings could be burned…

When the demon finally did awaken he wasn't very happy with the fact that a human had even dared to touch him. These words were something that both the spider and the mortal were quite used to hearing. Demons were too highly ranked for humans and humans thought they were too good for demons. Half breeds weren't sure where they belonged because there were so few of them that one half breed rarely sees another in his or her life time. Quite a terrible thing once you think about it. No one could even begin to get along with one another, the races refused to speak or associate besides a special few. This of course irked the two comrades to no end for they were one of those few.

Yet by the time Sesshoumaru was healed Naraku could sense he cared for the young woman in an allied way. Thus he wasn't at all surprised to find the demon checking in on each of them, mainly she, from time to time. The young woman seemed so happy when he arrived and always forgot her worries as a miko and a warrior. This made Naraku joyful as well and so he actually enjoyed the demons company. Until that one day…

Flashback

"Naru-kun?" A young woman sitting atop a grassy hill looked to her friend with a strained expression over her face. Worry immediately filled the spider demon.

"What is it you need my friend?" Moving closer to her for the sake of her own comfort he placed a hand on her shoulder. His eyes showed such deep concern.

"I-I think I am falling in love with some one…" She blushed deeply, lowering her head from his sight. "I can hardly stop thinking about him."

"Really?" He asked this teasingly with a large grin on his face even though his heart pounded madly in his chest. He felt his palms become slick; his hopes were high. "Would I know this man?" At her nod his heart beat all the faster, his blood began pumping at full speed in his veins. "Who would that be?"

She didn't catch the breathlessness or hope within his eyes or his soft quivers. She missed all that could have saved her. "I am in love with Sesshoumaru."

His heart rate calmed and his aura sung with such great despair that she noticed immediately. "Naru what is it?" He couldn't look into her eyes while he felt hate, rage and a sense of loss infect him. He wouldn't. With that he disappeared in a moment using his demon speed to aid him. "Naru where do you run too? Naru won't you return please?" She called but he did not come, not like he had once.

End of Flash back

He had tried to kill Sesshoumaru after finding his aura unable to contain himself any longer. The demon was so very skilled that Naraku, or truly Naru at the time, couldn't quite manage. But his anger, it only rose and rose and rose until these lengths that it reached seemed impossible to reach were. Letting out a mighty howl of rage he cried out her love for Sesshoumaru and promised him an unmerciful death.

Yet his love, the one woman he dared to lay his trust within arrived before he could finish what he had started. Her words, the incantation came out so quickly that his skin set a flame. She stole away his demonic energy and it evaporated into nothingness. His hatred rose and his love for her had suddenly been hidden deep within his heart. He would forget love for he was determined not to remember now, only hate and hate until he could no longer hate because he would have had his vengeance upon her wretched soul.

He missed the tears running down her cheeks quickly and the shaking of her body. He did see the demon lord take her too him and hold her. Anger burned him all the more as she dare touch the man that brought him so much pain before his very eyes. "I curse you!" He shouted gaining each of their attention. Sesshoumaru hissed, his eyes reddening at the man's next words. "I curse you to the pits of Hell Midoriko!" He cried out laughing hysterically suddenly as if he had lost all nerve which he had.

Hours later the demon spider awoke and found that he was just that a demon spider who was quite powerless. "Just you wait Midoriko I shall still bring your soul extreme pain. I do not care who it is I have to kill in order to harm you for I care no more of petty lives!"

END OF FLASHBACK

"I still hold that vow Midoriko. You betrayed me and thus your soul shall go through immense pain and suffering." The jewel in his hand became all the blacker with his unleashed rage toward the woman he loved so much at one time and still did deep within himself. Smirking as he heard her cries of agony he spoke once again. "You are no where near the point at which you will be once I am through with you. I shall break your soul's purity and shatter your will to survive; I swear it."

I hope that the changes I made were good enough…. Well… I'll update fairly soon. I hope you liked it.
