Don't be afraid I've taken my beating I've shed but I'm me

Kagome pouted walking behind him. This was dress great. She was back, and for what and why now?

"Something on your mind miko"

"A lot" She snapped,

He stopped walking "It has been many moons since you left"

"Six, it's been 6 years"

"Why have you returned if it angers you"

"I told you, I don't want to be here, I fell"

He rose an eyebrow "You fell?"

"Yes smartass"

He didn't much know what a smartass was "Yes miko I am very smart"

She rolled her eyes "I was just visiting my family shrine"

"Your family shrine is on my land?"

"Wait a minute, since when is this your land"

"Since I started protecting it" He turned and began to walk again, she walked along trying to keep up "And when did you start protecting it"

He stopped again "Six years"

Kagome's jaw dropped. Sesshomaru began to walk again.

"Wait, what"

"I will not repeat myself woman"

"Where is Inuyasha"

"That, miko I do not know, believe it or not, I am not his keeper"

"Oh I believe it" She said under her breath,

"So you did not wish to return, tell me miko, do you not miss your companion's?"

"No, I do, it's just, I made a wish"

"I am aware"

"I didn't think I would come back, even, even if I had the choice"

"Then you do not miss them"

"No, I miss everyone, everyday!"

Once again he stops and looks back at her "Even me?"

When he asked that, for some reason it felt like he opened an old scar.

"Yes Sesshomaru, even, even you"

She was hurt, but why? Tears started forming in her eyes "I, I don't know if I can do this"

Why would the well not let her go home.

"There must be a reason for your return"

"No!" She snapped "Maybe my wish was wrong, maybe this is my punishment"

"What do you speak of woman" She was beginning to irritate him, perhaps if he threw her down the well, or perhaps if he demanded it to take her back.

"I know I don't belong here Sesshomaru"

"And how would you know this" They where close to his home once more,

"Because im from the future"

"You were from the future the frist time, it would seem fate does not care"

"No, but this time it is different"

"Get on with it woman"

"Sesshomaru, I know because I read the story"

This had him stopping dead, right before his castle "Story?" He slowly turned to her,

She nodded "I know what happense to everyone"
