Kaida opened her eyes as and flinched. Her head hurt. She sat up and rubbed her arm, and was shocked to see it was perfectly healed. Wait… why am I shocked? Kaida got up out of her bed and stretched. Her tail flicked to the side a little and she walked out of her room and down the hallway of the mansion she lived in. For the last ten years she had lived in the mansion, with her lord and the other serving girls. Kaida was different; she had been since she was a born. She was part demon. That was why her lord had taken her in.

Kaida looked out the window and thought of her mother. Kaida had been five when her demonic side had gotten too strong. She had lost control and killed her mother. Her father had been upset, but had tried to help her. Kaida had lost it and ran away from home. Her father had never tried to find her. It was shortly after that when her lord had found her.

"Kaida…." She turned and looked over seeing her lord walking towards her. He had long black hair and glowing red eyes.

"Lord Naraku." Kaida nodded. He wrapped his arms around her.

"Are you feeling better this morning?" Naraku asked.

"Much." Kaida nodded. She felt Naraku lean in and kiss at her neck.

"I missed you last night." Naraku said darkly as he began to lick at Kaida's collar bone. "Tonight…"

Kaida looked off. Naraku had never hidden that he had feelings for her, and Kaida had never hidden that she didn't have feelings for him…. But how was she supposed to shove the man who had saved her and taken care of her away. But yet…. For some reason it suddenly felt wrong. Naraku pulled her into a kiss and Kaida felt a weird hatred boil in her stomach.

Sesshomaru… Kaida paused as the one name came to her mind. She had never heard that name before… but it sounded so familiar.

"Kaida?" Naraku asked as he pulled back out of the kiss. "Are you not feeling well again?"

"I… I think I might need to go lie down again." Kaida nodded. She headed back towards her room and sighed. She sat down on her bed and covered her head. "Se… Sho…. Ma….Ru…" Kaida whispered. Kaida closed her eyes. It feels so… nice…. She smiled. Why do I know that name….I…. It suddenly hit Kaida. SESSHOMARU! KAGOME! INUYASHA! Kaida jumped up. "Where am I?! SESSHOMARU!" She cried out.

Suddenly the scenery around her changed and she found herself in a dark area. There was some light, enough that Kaida recognized the surrounding area as similar to a Mediou.

You are inside the Shikon Jewel…. That was part of Naraku's wish… A strange voice said. He wished for you to be separated from the dog demon Sesshomaru and join him here… For when Kagome makes a wish you will become part of the Shikon Jewel as well.

"What is going on?!" Kaida called out angrily. "What was that I just saw?!"

An illusion of what could have happened had you never left this world as a child…. Your timeline could have changed a lot….

Kaida froze. "My possible future…."

A possible timeline…. Shall you see another…? One had you never returned to this world… Suddenly the world surrounding Kaida changed again.

Kaida found herself sitting in a classroom. She wore a high school uniform from the future timeline that Kagome came from. The time period that Kaida had spent her childhood.

"Hey Kaida, are you going to see the movie this evening?" A girl asked.

Memories came to Kaida, telling her the girl's name. It suddenly was like Kaida had been living in this life forever. "No I have to study for my test tomorrow." Kaida said. Her real timeline, the one with Sesshomaru, was starting to grow fuzzy.

"Alright." The girl nodded. "I'll see you later then."

Kaida packed up her stuff and started to head home. She had just started High School and found it normal and somewhat boring. As she walked home, she tried her best to ignoring the pounding headache that was forming. "I'm home!" Kaida called as she walked into her house.

"How was school?!" Her mom called.

"Fine." Kaida nodded. "Long." She laughed. She sat down at the table where her mom had left out a snack. Kaida nibbled at the food, but was having trouble fully concentrating.

"You okay?" Her mom asked sitting next to her.

"Just… a headache." Kaida said and looked up at the roof. "I don't know what the problem is."

"Alright." Her mom smiled. "Well, I'm going to go out shopping. Is there anything you need or want?"

"No I'm fine." Kaida watched her mother leave and then got up. "Maybe a walk will clear my head." Kaida was wrong, her headache only got worse as she walked around town. It was like she was trying to remember something, but her mind wasn't letting her.

"Hey sis, gramps needs your help." A young boy's voice caught Kaida's attention. It sounded so familiar. A young boy was talking to what appeared to be his older sister. She had long black hair and wore the same uniform as Kaida. Kaida froze, the girl made Kaida's head pound even more. Who is she…. I feel like I know her… H… Higa…. Higarashi…. Kaida closed her eyes. Higarashi… Kagome… It hit Kaida. Kagome! We got draw into the Mediou together! Is she okay! "KAGOME!" Kaida started running towards her friend. "KAGOME!" Kaida froze as Kagome looked over at her and then everything turned black. "YOU!" Kaida yelled up angrily at the Shikon Jewel. "WHAT WAS THAT?! WHERE IS KAGOME?!"

Kagome is facing her own fate….. That was just your future had you never come to this world a second time… And now you will have one more future to see.

"WAIT!" Kaida gasped as it felt like someone was tearing at her mind, and then the scenery changed in front of her.

Kaida opened her eyes and moaned in slightly pain. She was almost always in pain. Her wrists were chained up against the wall and her body was bruised and scratched up. Kaida eyes watered as she shifted her position and her shoulder screamed out in pain. Kaida whimpered, but turned silent as the door to the dungeon opened up.

"Kaida…." Kaida looked down and flinched as Naraku gripped her chin and forced her to look up at him. His red eyes looked down at her angrily. Kaida glared back at him. "Why do you treat me like that now? I'm the only one keeping you alive…" Naraku leaned in and Kaida gasped as Naraku bite down on her shoulder. Kaida did her best to keep the cry of pain from coming out. "My Kaida…" Naraku chuckled as he licked at her blood. "You know there is nothing left for you to live for… except me…"

"Sesshomaru…" Kaida whispered weakly. She let out a small moan of pain as Naraku dug his fangs into her skin deeper.

"He's gone." Naraku growled into her skin. "I absorbed him… and that half demon Inuyasha…" Naraku chuckled and started to scratch his claws down Kaida's arms. "He's gone… and he can't save you." Kaida didn't want to, but she found herself remembering the final battle where Naraku had absorbed Sesshomaru and Inuyasha into him. Then he had killed Sango and Kagome. Kohaku and Rin were next. Kaida had done her best to try and save each of them, but had been unable to. Naraku had then turned on her and chained her down. Since then she had been trapped in Naraku's dungeons as his prisoner.

Tears rolled down Kaida's face in both pain and sadness. "Sesshomaru…. Sesshomaru…."

"Pathetic…" Naraku chuckled and Kaida flinched as Naraku buried his claws into her back suddenly.

Kaida cried out. Naraku laughed and slammed his lips brutally onto her lips. Kaida could do nothing to stop him. No matter how much she tried to struggle, her arms wouldn't come free, and Naraku's vines had her legs pinned in place. Naraku's tongue moved from her mouth to her neck and then he pulled back. She could see her blood coating his tongue. "No…" Kaida whispered. "Kill me…. I will never live for you…"

Naraku sighed and unclamped her arms. Kaida could see her wrists raw and coated in blood. She went to rub her wrists, but Naraku stopped her and stabbed his vines into her wrists. Kaida cried out in pain and Naraku laughed. He leaned in and whispered into her ear. "You will come to…. My little Kaida…"

No…. Kaida whimpered as Naraku continued to bite at the other side of her neck. Sesshomaru….

KAIDA! It was a voice Kaida knew by heart.

"SESSHOMARU!" Kaida closed her eyes tightly and felt the pain disappearing.

Kaida opened her eyes and found Sesshomaru at her side. He wrapped his arms around her.

"Kaida…" Sesshomaru whispered. He held her tightly. "Are you alright?!"

"I'll be fine..." Kaida smiled. "Now that you're here." She whispered gently. "Naraku is dead and you are alive… Here…. With me…. We are together…"

Sesshomaru nodded and leaned in kissing her. Kaida wrapped her arms around him. "Kaida…" Sesshomaru pulled back a little. "I want to stay with you forever…. At my side… Forever, as my mate."

"Sesshomaru…" Kaida whispered, shocked. "I…. I would love nothing more than that!" She chuckled happily. "That is my biggest wish." She leaned in and kissed him. "Sesshomaru…."

Sesshomaru held her close and looked around. "We will find a way out of here…. And then we will go home together…."

Kaida nodded. Kagome…. "Sesshomaru, how did you get here?"

Sesshomaru was silent for a moment, and then looked off. "Inuyasha opened a Mediou to come save his woman… I followed him in to save you."

"So Inuyasha is here to save Kagome… Good." Kaida smiled and rested her head in his chest. I am glad that neither of those futures is my future…. Even if we got stuck together in this place… I will be happy to be with Sesshomaru.

Suddenly there was a bright light and Kaida looked off. She clung to Sesshomaru but didn't feel nervous. The light felt so warm…. "Sesshomaru…"

"Hold on Kaida." Sesshomaru whispered. "That light is going to take us home…"

Kaida clung tightly to him happily. "Home… together…" Kaida closed her eyes as the light coated the two of them. The warmth was nice… but the best warmth came from the man she loved. Sesshomaru… I'm so happy…. She looked up at him and smiled before the light blocked everything out.
