"Who are you?'' Kagome asked a woman who looked older than her. She was in a beautiful garden. "I am your mother Trista. I am allowed to speak to you this once. I want you to know how proud of you I am. You have surpassed even Lady Kamina. Please know your father and I love you very much. We sent you to the future for your own good,'' Trista said. The woman had long black hair past her waist. She had on a pure white with gold trimming silk kimono.

''M.m. mother. OH MOM,'' Kagome yelled as she ran up and hugged her. ''Kagome I want you to have this,'' Trista said.She pulled out a bracelet with a locket on it.It was made of pure purple jade. Kagome opened the locket to see a picture of her mom and what must be her dad.''That is Kenji, your father. He was a good man,'' Trista said.''When you wake up this will be with you. Please keep it with you and know you are in our hearts forever. You are strong enough if you mate with a human the child will be immortal. If with a half-breed then the child will be full demon. If with a full demon then the child will also be full demon but your blood will keep it from having the blood lust of a full blooded demon. Follow your heart. It is the one thing thing that never lies to you. Do not fear Lord Sesshoumaru. He greatly respects immortals and will not harm you. Treat him with great respect please,'' she added.

''I will try my best mom. Don't worry. I will always follow my heart. Lord Sesshoumaru has showed nothing to me but kindness. He's protecting my body as we speak now,'' Kagome said. ''Good. Please live well. Be happy and keep safe. Never forget who you are and where you came from,'' Trista said. She was being lifted off the ground and up to the sky. ''Wait mom. Don't go. Come back here please,''Kagome yelled. ''Don't worry Kagome your dad and I love you very much,'' Trista said and then completely dissappeared.''Oh my head,'' Kagome said then collapsed. ~ * ~ * ~ *

Fluffy(shorter to write) sat there to wait til morning time. He saw a purple jade bracelet with a locket appear. He walked over and opened it. Inside was a picture of a man and woman. 'Probably her parents,' he thought.

'I have the biggest headache alive' Kagome thought as she felt herself awake. She sat up and saw Fluffy against a tree with his eyes closed. He looked very comfortable. She knew he wasn't asleep though.She looked down to see the bracelet on her. She let out a sigh of relief as soon as her eyes were cast upon it. ''Lord Sesshoumaru?'' she asked. ''Yes. What is it?'' he asked. ''May i please just call you Sesshoumaru?'' was her question.

He finally opened his eyes and looked at her with amazement in his eyes. 'Is this the same woman who so openly defied me before? Well she is immortal and strong. I guees i shall allow her.' he thought. "Yes you may call me by my given name, but only if you answer a few of my questions,'' he finally answered.''Thank you very much. I would also like you to know i'm in your debt. Please if you ever need anything from me just ask,''Kagome said. 'What on earth? She just practically pledged her allegiance to me. But what question should i ask first?' Fluffy thought.

"Why is it you left the half-breed and your other traveling companions,'' he asked. ''Well i would never get a chance to fight with Inuyasha around.He calls me weak and useless. I guess he's forgotten how many times I've saved him. I mean the one time you attacked us and took tetsuiga I saved him. If i hadn't shot that arrow and reversed tesuiga's transformation he'd be dead right now. I already miss Sango, Kilala, Kaede, and even Miroku. Shippou the most though. I know it'll be easier to do things my way. That's why I left,'' She answered.

How long have you known Inuyasha and how do you honestly feel about him?'' he asked. '' Well I came out of the well when i was 15. I'm almost 18 now. I'd say two and a half years. It was i who broke the seal and realeased him. he tried to kill me at first to get the shikon no tama. If it weren't for the prayer beads he'd have succeded. I've never really though on how i feel about him. I've never loved him but i trut him on some things. I don't really think of him as a friend but not exactly an enemy either. I mean if kikyou were to ask for my soul he'd probably try to kill me for it,'' she answered.

'' How is it she used your soul to be reborn when you aren't her reincarnation,'' he asked. ''Any soul could have been used I guess. Her memory was from her ashes. It feels kinda strange having a piece of my soul missing. When she stole it thankfully a very, very small part of it was left. I was able to recall most of it. Just in time to. If i hadn't of Inuyasha would be dead by now. Thay claimed to be in love but their trust was to easily broken. Plus kikyou asked him to become the one thing he hated most. Human, Why didn't she just wish to become a half-breed. I mean she fell in love with him being a half-breed. I think she just used him so she could be free of protecting the shikon. So i believe they got what they deserved,'' she said.

"What of this Naraku person? Do you have anything against him?" he asked. "No not really. I'm not saying I like him or anything but I harber no feelings of hate towards him. He has done nothing wrong to me so far.If he attacks me then I will defend myself. I know our paths will cross again someday.The strangest thing happened yesterday. Three demons with jewels shards attacked us. Some kind of tentacle came out of nowhere and killed the demons. Then, it removed the shards. It then handed them to me while a voice said to keep safe. The tentacle looked like Naraku's from the time we first came across one of his dolls. I don't know what to think,'' she answered.

"How were you able to pull tetsuiga out and why have you suddenly dropped the stubborn attitude?" he asked. " I have a thoery on how i pulled it out. Your father made it where no demon could pull it out or touch it and only human could pull it out. Not a mortal human though but an imortal human tough like me. If i so choose, since i pulled it out. i could make it to where you could hold it. Inuyasha can't use it anyway. My sword is almost like the tetsuiga. I've decided to trust you somewhat. I mean you've done nothing to hurt me. After all you are Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands are you not. you deserve respect. I am sorry for all the trouble Inuyasha caused you,'' she answered.

He was about to ask another question when Bell woke up. "How do you fell Bell?'' Kagome asked. "Fine i've got a slight headache though. We should repay Lord Sesshoumaru for his kindness,'' Bell said. "Your right Bell we should," Kagome said. She got up and walked over to Fluffy. "Please let me help" she said as she touched the stub of his arm that had been cut off. She focused her energy and regrowing his arm. She could feel him tense up as her magic flew through her to him. Finally his arm regew. "There,'' she stated. ''Thank you,'' he said.

'Wow. She regrew my arms. I've been to some of the most powerful healers known and none could regrow it. So she's more powerful than I thought. Well since its sunrise I need to get on and patrol my lands. I will give her something incase she runs into another Lord. Yes I have the perfect thing. ''here'' Fluffy said as he pulled out a necklace.''For me Why?'' she said. ''So all know you are under my protection and are welcome in my lands. I have to leave and patrol my lands now,'' with that said he left.Kagome looked closely at the beautiful necklace. It was a pure gold chain with an amethyst colored crescent moon charm.She could feel his aura around it and figured it was enchanted.You'd always be able to feel his prescence on it. She put it on and turned to Bell. ''Where to now?'' she asked Bell. " Let's travel to the North Western Lands,'' Bell said. She got on Bell and they took off with her still wearing the miko outfit.

Naraku had overheard the whole conversation. He'd learned alot about her. 'So she doesn't hate me. That means i've an even bigger chance with her. The North Western Lands are dangerous. There is a huge pack of wolf demons there. Even though she is powerful its still to dangerous. They could easily outnumber her. I must protect her' he thought.

''Kanna. Kagura. Come here,'' Naraku said.''Yes,'' both demon girls said as they appeared. ''Go and find Inuyasha and his group. Do not approach. Keep an eye on them. Now go,'' he said. ''yes, my Lord,'' the girls said and left to do as they were told. Naraku then took off following Kagome.

It was now almost nightfall when and Bell and Kagome stopped to make camp. They were onlmost to their destination. They'd only run into three or four demons and gotten one jewel shard. They heard several rumors about a wolf demon tribe with jewel shards. ''Night Bell.'' "Night Kagome.''

'Good night my Kagome' Naraku thought as he settled down to rest.
