Sesshomaru stood shocked, his face looking the same as the day his fathers spirit had spoken to both him and his half brother.
Did he hear him right? Kagome, his daughter? It was not possible. For one she was, well human. To be Ziro's daughter she would have to be demon.

"I know what you are thinking" Ziro now standing and looking hard at Sesshomaru.

"What trickery is this" Sesshomaru's words were quick, but his tone never changed.

"It is no trick" Ziro kept his eyes on Sesshomaru as if he were about to pounce.

Sesshomaru's face went back to showing no emotion but his mind was running a mile a minute.

"What do you think of what I am telling you Sesshomaru?" Ziro asked,

Sesshomaru turned from him "I think you are mistaken"

"Hmm" Ziro said and then watched as Sesshomaru left the room.

Ziro turned and looked outside and wondered if Sesshomaru remember his vow, his claim.

----

Sesshomaru was alone, his eyes closed. He was trying so hard to remember the child, her eyes, her aura.
The miko, Ziro's daughter? Sesshomaru opened his eyes, no it was not possible, he would have known.

"Wondering how it is possible Sesshomaru?"

Ziro had given Sesshomaru time to himself but now was the time for talk.

"It is not possible" Sesshomaru stated not looking at the Lord.

"It is, tell me Sesshomaru, do you remember your, claim?"

Sesshomaru hoped he would not ask that, but alas he had.

"Indeed"

"And what say you now?"

"She is human"

"She is my daughter"

"She is a miko"

"She is a demon"

Sesshomatu then turned to look at him,

"You try my patients" Sesshomaru spoke, Ziro smirked.

"Will you protect her?"

Sesshomaru turned from him once again "I Sesshomaru have no one to protect"

Ziro sighed and turned from Sesshomaru, he held his hands behind his back. He would have to make a move soon, with or without Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru was fighting himself, how could the miko be Ziro daughter, and did she know all along?

Kagome had a good few nights with her family but was now climbing out of the well, back into the past she was. Odd enough she felt like she was home.

Ziro was there when she pulled herself out of the well, Sesshomaru was also there. Ziro knew Sesshomaru was there but Sesshomaru did not know Ziro was there. This was a good thing and Ziro had a plan. Ziro knew Sesshomaru was going to try and speak with Kagome but he was going to step in before Sesshomaru did that.

"Kagome" Ziro spoke coming out of the woods. Ziro felt Sesshomaru back up, but he knew he was still there and watching.

"Lord Ziro" Kagome spoke out of breath as she picked up her book bag.

"You seemed...relived to be back"

Kagome took in a deep breath "Guess iv gotten so use to being here and not there" She said looking back at the well.

Ziro walked to the well and looked down, memories flooding him.

"Tell me Kagome, what would you say if someone told you, that your time, was not your time"

"Would not suprise me" She said is sarcastic and he knew it. He looked at her hard "Sorry" She said sheepish.
Still he looked at her "I say that was not true, that my family is back there, my mom, sota, grandpaw"

Ziro listen to her words. "Miko Kagome I did not say what if someone said that those people were not your family, but that, that time was not that of you own"

She blinked at him, confused "I'm not following you"

"Indeed not" His eyebrows grew together,

"Hey mister" She pointed her finger at him, becoming somewhat angry with him,

"Enough miko"

Kagome took her hand back, his tone was Strong, serious. Ziro looked down and then ran his hand though his hair, Kagome could tell he was, stressed. Ziro then placed both hands on the well, "Have you ever wondered why it was you"

Kagome did wonder, but the answer was always that she was Kikyo's reincarnation.

"Yeah, I'm the reincarnation of Kikyo"

Ziro let out a snort "You are no ones copy miko"

She liked hearing that, but left her wondering what he was getting at. "You are no copy, so now miko, do you wonder why it was you"

Kagome blinked and then began to play with her skirt,

"Your family maybe you family, but their time is not your time"

Ziro stood tall and looked at her, she looking back at him.

"What, what are you saying" She asked quite,

"You were placed in that time, just as the jewel was placed in you"

Kagome backed up when Ziro took a step near her "And how would you know that" Kagome asked becoming alert, she knew something was coming, something big.

"Because miko, it was I who placed you there"
