YEAH! I'm BACK! And with ANOTHER fanfiction! Still an Inuyasha one, but this time a SesshoumaruxKagome pairing. Yes. I am a fan of that pairing, so to all InuyashaxKagome lovers please don't flame me. And if you find it so bad that I've paired up Kagome with Sesshoumaru, save yourselves and don't read this fanfic. Though I do enjoy InuyashaxKagome fanfictions†I just seem to like SESSxKAG more.

Anyways, this is my first SESSxKAG fanfic so please go easy on me! And I hope you all enjoy it!

Full Summary: The quest is on as the impossible happens! Inuyasha gets taken in by Naraku and turned to his slave! Now Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Kagome are forced to do the one thing they thought they'd never do†Ask for help from Sesshoumaru. For his own reasons he says yes and offers them a place at his castle! Will Kagome be able to return her loved one back to himself? Or will she find a new love brewing amongst the castle walls? SESSxKAG

Note: Everybody is slightly older now. So Kagome is 22 years old, while Rin and Shippo are both around 15. Almost all the jewel shards have been collected. Though this fanfiction will not run along with the anime or manga, and is more on its own†somehow

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN INUYASHA! SO PLEASE DON'T SUE!

Prologue

The air was dark, and reeked of human. The boy licked his pale lips, tasting the blood in the air in quite a malicious way as he roared and charged in.

A young maiden sat, in the middle of the area. A once quiet village, turned into a carnage, and a now bloodied grave site. She sat stunned, soft brown eyes dulled, with sparkling water tinkling down the sides. Her bright face was ashen, and raven waist length hair blew in the wind that whispered 'Death'. "How, can this be? No.. It cannot, it just can't." Those words were so hoarsely whispered from her cracked lips as people called out her name. "Kagome!"

A bright light appeared before her, but just before she was consumed by it, she was lifted up through the heavy smoke and back onto clear ground. She slid off a fury tan and black back and landed on the floor, unmoving. Kagome looked to the boy before her. Standign 'proudly' upon a tree in a background of fire and smoke.

He held a large sword almost twice his height. Snow white hair fluttered the wind. He looked down his smile nose to the pitiful girl before him. When she looked up, all she could see were red demonic eyes, void of the goodness and compassion it once held. Yes this young boy was one she knew, and loved. She whispered his name. "Inuyasha,"

The small white dog ears that grew atop his head twitched, as he picked up the frequency of her sound. "No more," he said, venom dropping from his every words. "The Inuyasha you once knew is dead. And only I live. Get used to it girl, because one day, I'm coming for you. On that day, I am coming to kill you. But till then, I'll leave you to your little fantasies. Hold on to the past as you may, to comfort you for your future has been decided."

He jumped into the clear night sky above the smoke and disappeared into nothingness. Kagome dropped to the ground, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to close everything off. It must be a dream! Her body wracked with sobs, as her companions came to her side. No matter how clear everything seemed, no matter how the truth was displayed in front of her, she didn't want to believe. 'No' she whispered repeatedly. "This can't be! This can't be happening! No! It can't be!"


Well.. That's the first chapter! Yeah.. I know it's short, and there will be quite a few short chapters, but to make things all better, I'm updating the first chapter with it! Yay! Which is†Also very short.. very unenthusiastic oh wowies Anyways, please read on
