When Sesshoumaru finally arrived at the castle, it was near nighttime, and Kagome had still not woken up, he was worried, but the scent of her recently spilled blood stopped him from waking her. 'Perhaps she is just tired. I have waited this long, it won't hurt to wait a few more hours,' he thought, as the servants opened the gate, and he headed to their room.

He laid her body on the feathery bed, after giving her another hug. He could not believe it; his mate had returned to him, to remain by his side. After her death he had never thought they would be reunited, except in his dreams. 'But here she is,' he thought, 'and I am never giving her up again.' He covered her with the soft comforter, and left to the kitchens, to get her food for when she would wake.

The servants had been as surprised as their mistress's return as Sesshoumaru. They were ecstatic as they watched Sesshoumaru carrying Kagome upstairs; for all had seen the happiness shining in their lord's eyes. They had rushed about to make her homecoming welcoming; some rushing to the kitchen, hurrying to make the reunion meal for their lord and mistress, while others ran to the dining room to set it up perfectly.

Kagome blinked once again, trying to focus her eyes. All around her colors of different lights melded together, blurring her vision. Finally, they focused, and Kagome gasped as she noticed her surroundings. She was lying in the softest bed, in the middle of a dimly lit room, which had to be the most grand and large that she had ever seen. 'What- were did this come from?' she wondered. As much as she wracked her head she could not remember what had happened after she had fallen asleep in Kaede's hut. 'Oh, what a headache,' she thought, rubbing a pulsing she felt at the back of her head.

The delicious smell of food began wafting into her room, and as much as she was scared of what lurked behind the massive double doors, she could not resist the call of her stomach. She opened one door slightly and stuck her head out, peering down both sides of the faintly lit hall. Seeing nobody jump out at her, or even walking down the halls, she quickly left the room, closing it quietly behind her. She followed the scent down the hall, then down a majestic flight of stairs. Finally she had traced it to another pair of double doors, though not nearly as grand as the ones from the room she had been in earlier.

Immediately when she opened the door, all eyes turned on her, and the servants immediately began bowing, curtseying, and asking of her welfare. Confused beyond compare, she made an awkward bow, and was about to ask where she was, when a worried shout from behind her, made her instantly spin around. "Kagome!" the voice called.

Staring at the beautiful demon before her, pieces of her memory began piecing themselves together inside her head, and she remembered what had happened. 'Why did I call him Sesshou?' she wondered, and then realized why his image appeared so familiar to her. 'This is- this is he, the demon from my dreams,' she thought.

As far as Kagome could recall every night since she could remember, she had had a dream of whom she believed as herself, and the demon before her. Though she experienced the dream, she did not feel as if it were her, for she never spoke the words or moved, yet the body she was in moved and her voice still floated, as if it were she. In truth, she always felt like an intruder, spying on a pair of people whom were clearly in love with each other bask in their love. 'Was that really me? In my dreams?' she wondered, before she was pulled from her thoughts.

Kagome quickly began turning red, as she realized what had happened while she had been thinking. While she had been tuning out, the demon had run to her, and pulled her tight in his embrace. She became flustered, and gently shoved him away, and though he did not get pushed away from her like she wanted her strength to allow her, it had its desired effect, for, after feeling her shove, he pulled apart from her, and looked at her, curiously cocking his head to the side.

Under his intent stare, Kagome started to get nervous, and began slowly backing away from him. Obviously, the demon didn't like that, for in a blink of her eyes, he had whizzed his hand out, grabbing hers, and holding her in place. When she tried to wrench her hand free, he growled softly; his cold voice breaking through the tension. "Kagome, why are you acting this way?"

Overwhelmed in a torrent of emotions, Kagome lost it, and almost broke in tears when the demon coldly stared at her. "Please, stop, I don't know you or how you know my name, but I think you're confused, let go of me, please," she pleaded while trying to pull her hand away from his tight grip. Sesshoumaru looked back at her, his confusion and frustration evident by the look on his face.

Sesshoumaru swallowed hard as her words penetrated his mind, and he reluctantly let go of her hand. 'Does she know what she's saying?' he wondered. He swallowed again as he noticed the look on his mate's bewildered face.

'How can she not remember me? How could she do this to me, to us?' His bewilderment quickly turned to anger. 'No. I will not let her go again, I do not care if she does not remember me; I will do whatever it takes to have her love me again. Then we'll become as we were supposed to.' He vowed silently.

As he pondered how to do this, a thought popped into his head, 'She doesn't remember,' and he cheered in his mind for the realization that she did not remember anything, be it his past or their beginning. Here- here was the fresh start he so badly wanted, no more, he could do everything right this time, everything that he had always regretted after she was gone. 'I have a chance to change things, to make her love me, and have her not scared or know what I had once been or what I had once done.'
