Except for one passion filled night after his father's funeral, Inuyasha and Kagome's marriage had been on the rocks for years. Now Kagome's pregnant and unwilling to bring a child into a home with a workaholic, absentee father. She wanted a divorce, but for the sake of their child, Inuyasha demanded she give their marriage a second chance...and he was not a man to be denied.

There are things in life that one cannot avoid, Sesshomaru concluded. Having Kagome as his Lady of the West was one of them. Mature readers only.

Spring is just around the corner. Sesshomaru and Kagome become a little more than friends, thanks to their auras. What will Youkai-miko research look like? Rated M for later chapters. Sequel to "24 Little Hours", part 3 of the "What a Difference a Day Makes" series.

CANON. Kagome finds her way back to Inuyasha and they try to figure out where to take their relationship. Things aren't as easy as they want, but their feelings for each other are too strong to ignore.

She didn't know how long it had been since she was captured. Days? Weeks? Months?...Years? Being locked in a dungeon with no hope of ever leaving or escaping the clutches of her enemy was not her idea of a great life. Also being stuck in an era that wasn't her own was something that frightened her. Would she ever be saved? By Inuyasha…? By anyone? { Note: This is a repost }
