Author 's notes : I'm really sorry . I did a terrible mistake in the second chappie the person who says "Asshole" is not Kagura but Yuuko. I hope I didn't muddle u guys too much . Um... Ikinda missed the 'not'. Yuuko being a witch enters Sessh's mind (she has got some guts hasn't she ?) and tells him telepathically. I know its pretty weird .Well! Narakusnoone good observation but I think, no RumikoTakahashi thinks Sessh has a heart because remember Tensaiga changed for that but I guess it's a little bit too small .

CHAPTER 4

Sesshomaru felt as if his heart was going to burst . He had never felt so many emotions all at once. It was just too much for him .

But nevertheless he managed to retaliate, "Kagura died in front of my very eyes , Don't play tricks with me , Witch !

Yuuko sighed 'Boy ! he sure was hard to convince'

"What did I just say, Sesshomaru . Everything is possible in love . Your Kagura is alive !" She said, emphasizing on the your .

Sesshomaru promptly ignored it. But it was getting harder to ignore his heart .

"What do you mean ?"

"I mean what I said"

"Why would you help me?" his eyes narrowing in a manner that clearly indicated that he was suspiciuos as hell .

"Look it's true that Kagura died but I know for a fact that you tried to save her so I'm willing to help you , or should I say my God is , and I am merely his messenger"Yuuko said sounding a little exasperated for the first time.

"Where is she , in the underworld " Sesshomaru said , trying to keep the sarcastic tone out of his voice .

But Yuuko noted it ," No" she said,"Not quite so hard , she has been reincarnated but nevertheless you have to cross many hurdles before you can accomplish your love"

Sesshomaru breath hitched but he continued "She has been reborn " . It was getting increasingly difficult to keep his calm.

"Kagura is the wind , she was simply bound to a body before , but now she has regained her soul turning into her true self , but don't worry she is still quite the same"

Sesshomaru simply nodded . His face never betraying the thousands of emotions that was raging inside him .

Yuuko continued , "You have already missed a chance, Sesshomaru , very few people get a second chance don't waste it . However to get back your love "noting Sesshomaru flinch she paused.

"Yes..."

"You have to overcome a curse . What it is ? you will find out in time. As for now I can only tell you one thing , Go North , you will find her there"

"And Sesshomaru one another try listening to your heart once in a while . Trust me it will do you good "Having said this Yuuko flashed them one of her enigmatic smiles and disappeared as suddenly as she has appeared.

"Wait..." Wether Yuuko heard it or not only she can tell but Sesshomaru shout didn't stop her .

Never in his entire life had he felt so confused and helpless . He had always been so sure of himself . But now he felt lost. He wanted to listen to his heart and go north to find Kagura but an inane fear gripped him...what if this was all a big lie .May be he was a coward but he was afraid to get hurt . He had seen his father die why because he had simply listened to his heart. Sesshomaru had vowed then that he would never end up like his father . But he felt himself already defeated . Hadn't he listened to that crazy woman and Heck! he had even believed her .

The uneasy silence was broken by Miroku sudden exclamation , "I can't believe it I forgot to ask her to bear my child ".

"Well! I'm sure you two would have been very happy together , Miroku " Sango muttered sarcastically .

Kagome wanted to laugh. The tension in the air was suddenly gone . That woman she was so intrigueing . It was like she held everybody under a trance , well! everybody that is except Sesshomaru . She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes only to see a sigh escape him .He looked so lost . Kagome really felt sorry for him . They had all beensad at Kagura's death but it was nothing compared to the loss Sesshomaru felt , She was sure . He had actually tried to save her with the Tensaiga . Kagome felt a new found respect for the demon lord. She had always thought that Sesshomaru was not so hard as he seemed . And she had just been proved right .

"Sesshomaru..."Inuyasha called out to his brother as Sesshomaru prepared to leave . He didn't exactly know what to say but he felt he should say something . But Kagome stopped him .

"No...Inuyasha , let him go...He needs to be alone now " she said .

Sesshomaru set off towards his camp .

And before long he was greeted by Rin's shout " Sesshoumaru - sama " . At that moment Sesshoumaru felt jealous of her . Even Rin knew what to do but he didn't.

Ignoring Jaken's excited squeak he said in his usual deadpan voice ,

"We are going North "

But everything was not usual . His mind buzzed with thousands of questions. Where would he find Kagura ? Would she be the same ? What is the curse ?Would he suceed ? (A/N : Sesshomaru never questioned if what Yuuko said was true at all . Why ? because his heart wanted to believe Kagura was alive and for once he listened to his heart inspite of his forbodings ) . For the first time in his life Sesshomaru was unsure of himself . He tried to convince himself that he was going on this journey because he had nothing better to do .

But as Sesshomaru set off in the sunset he realised one thing that he had already embarked on a new journey and now there was no turning back .

Author's notes:I know Yuuko is totally out of character . She always the give and take principle . But I have moulded her according to my needs here and also lets assume she works for cupid , for now that is untill u give the name of the Japanese god of love . Also I need some sweet Japanese name . Let's say the japanese for the flower Carnation or Iris . I tried to keep Sessh in character I hope I have done a fair job . And please noteYuuko says Kagura's is quite the same not exactly same .And can I have some extra reviews because I updated real fast . I know I'm really greedy (looks sheepish ) .

Phew ! I think my A/N's are getting bigger than my stories .
