DISCLAIMER: I do not own Inuyasha and company. Sadly I am not Rumiko Takahashi. The characters I do own are those that I make up myself. (Like Karina and Makkura and so on.)
SPOILER ALERT: I have seen the third movie. If you haven't, I will warn you now that it has some things that are based around it. I have also seen numerous episodes although I haven't seen every one of them yet.
Fallen: Well, so I decided to start from scratch. The older version sucked a lot and I figured I'd just start over again. Plus, then you can see when I update!
IG: We should get moving!

Chapter 1: To Be Reborn:
"Kagome, you're going to be late for school!" her mother cried out from in the kitchen.
"I'm leaving right now!" replied Kagome her black hair flying about her as she hurried to get out the door. She yelled her final goodbye and ran down the shrine steps hoping she would make it to her first class on time.
She thought about Inuyasha and Kikyou as she ran. Of course she shouldn't have been thinking about them at a time like this, but she couldn't help herself. And she definitely couldn't stop the pain from rushing through her as she thought about her first love.
Kikyou seemed to despise her greatly, although she didn't do anything wrong. Kagome thought that it was just because she was alive while Kikyou was nothing more now than clay and dirt. Inuyasha always told her that Kikyou was better in just about every aspect. She was better with archery, a better priestess, prettier, smarter, and stronger and anything else he could come up with.
'But it must be so difficult for her, to want to be alive, but stuck just being a clay pot.'
She felt bad for Kikyou and Inuyasha; they never had a chance for a future all because of the evil hanyou named Naraku.
'That horrible jerk! It will be great once he's dead and gone for good.'
Kagome was so deep in her thought that she ran into someone in front of her.
"Oh!" cried a voice, the owner turning around to see what had bumped into her. Kagome looked up from her musings and saw that she ran into a girl about her age or maybe a little younger. The girl had straight black hair that went passed her waist. She had brown eyes and pink eye shadow on her eyelids.
Kagome then noticed something, the girl's bangs were parted and in between the hair she could faintly see a black crescent moon.
'That moon is kind of like Sesshoumaru's!' Kagome thought with a small gasp, 'She must be a demon of some sort. I wonder if she is somehow related to him. No, can't be, it's a different color!'
Her train of thought was derailed by the girl's voice, "Hello?" The girl was waving her hand in front of the shocked face of Kagome, "Are you okay?"
"Y-yes I'm fine. I'm sorry for running into you. I was in a hurry and I got caught up in my thoughts." Replied Kagome coming out of her stupor.
"That's alright. Hey… you don't happen to go to that school up ahead do you?" the girl asked hopefully as she pointed to it.
"Yep, oh and by the way, I'm Kagome Higurashi." Kagome said with a smile on her face as they started walking towards the school.
"It's nice to meet you. I am Karina. I just moved here a few days ago." The girl who called herself Karina said as she returned Kagome's friendly smile.
'Why does that name sound so familiar? And why does it feel like I've met her before?' Kagome shook her thoughts away, 'Heh, it's probably nothing.'
"Great! I can show you around! Let's hurry, though, we don't want to be late!" said Kagome as she started her run again.
Karina nodded and rushed to catch up to her new and only friend.
Karina didn't seem like a normal demon. For one, she was very human, this didn't make any sense and so Kagome left it at that. She didn't want to analyze her new friend.
They made it to school just in the nick of time. Kagome and Karina were lucky to have almost every single class together. Kagome got that strange feeling again. She didn't like it, so she pushed it aside. Not knowing what it meant or why she felt it.
'This is definitely not my miko powers at work here. It is something else all together.' The feelings didn't make sense to her, but Karina didn't have any evil presence in her aura so she figured once again that it wasn't a big deal and shrugged it off.

School was finally over. Nothing really eventful happened. Kagome's friends weren't at lunch that day which was unusual. 'They must be busy doing a project or something.' So, she got to introduce Karina after school to her other friends.
"It was really nice to meet you, Karina!" said Yumi with a cheerful smile on her face that reflected Ami and Ayame's.
"It was nice to meet all of you as well! Thank you for welcoming me so warmly!" Karina replied with a grin on her face. She felt really happy.
"Too happy…" said a whisper of a voice from behind a tree watching Karina and her new friends, "It will be a hard task trying to get her back to her proper era. She doesn't belong here…"
The owner of the voice glided gracefully away unnoticed, "I wish there was some way I could've stopped this from happening. Makkura, that conniving wench, she will pay dearly, with her immortal life."
'Soon, but first to get Karina back to her era and I know the perfect way to get her there.'
He smirked as he jumped to a nearby tree when Karina and Kagome started to approach.
SKSKSKSKSKSK
Karina laughed at her friend's antics, 'This will never get old.' She thought as her laughter filled the bright day.
"So who's this guy that's bothering you again, Kagome?" asked Ayame, she was always the curious one to begin with.
Kagome fought the urge to roll her eyes, 'is this all they ever talk about? My love life, geeze! I guess they're still bent out of shape from when I didn't go out with Hojo.'
Kagome crossed her arms over her chest and blushed furiously, "What?"
"You know who we're talking about! Don't even try to play dumb!" scolded Yumi pointing a finger at poor Kagome.
Karina looked from Kagome to her friends and giggled.
"Isn't he that jerk that was too possessive, violent, and rude?" asked Ayame.
"Yeah." Kagome said her eyes shifted to the ground as she thought of their latest argument that brought her back to her home, her own era.
SKSKSKSKSKSK
"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled as she stomped a foot in anger, "Stop telling me your stupid lies! I know the truth, okay? I knew it ever since I saw both of you together! So don't…"
Inuyasha, being the discourteous type interrupted Kagome's ranting, "Kagome. You know I didn't mean any of it! You're more important to me! Yah gotta believe me!"
"I don't have to believe you, Inuyasha, besides you lie too much! Why don't you sit?" Kagome yelled back. A thud was heard throughout the forest as Inuyasha's face met his friend over the course of their trips, the dirt.
Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kirara all were watching as another argument broke out amongst the two.
"Why don't they just admit their feelings already?" Shippou asked the houshi.
"Inuyasha isn't helping if he runs off every time he sees a soul catcher in the area." Said Miroku.
"Houshi-sama is right, Kagome doesn't think Inuyasha cares so she isn't going to tell him." Said Sango as she watched the two yell in each other's faces.
"I'm going home!" cried Kagome crossing her arms in front of her.
"Good go, see if I care!" came Inuyasha's response folding his arms as well.
Kagome then jumped down the well that was to her left, there was a blue glow as she vanished to her world five hundred years in the future.
SKSKSKSKSKSK
"Kagome? Are you okay?" asked Karina looking concerned at her friend.
"I'm fine." Said Kagome as she looked up from her thoughts with a fake smile on her face.
"You know, Kagome, I really don't think that's the truth." Replied Karina.
SKSKSKSKSKSK
It was happening all over again, the day he dreaded the most, the day he lost the most important things to him. The day he lost his mate and only daughter, his only child.
There she was standing across from him, in all her evil malice. Her unnatural blue-gray eyes were cold as she glared at the western lord. Sesshoumaru had glared right back at her, hatred clearly in his golden orbs. His mate had melted his cold heart once 100 years after his father died, but she was gone and now he put his mask back on as if it was never missing from his features.
Her miko garbs of white and black danced in the wind along with her long black hair that was kept untied.
"Where are they?" He asked his voice cold and emotionless. Not like it was before she took them away from him. Before he actually smiled and it wasn't one of those smirks, but a real smile. But now, now they were missing and he was far from being happy, let alone smiling.
"They are far away from here." Makkura said in a cool voice that seemed as if it were floating in the breeze to his pointed ears.
"I will only ask you once more, wench, where are they?" this time his voice was much louder. He wouldn't take this kind of treatment from a mere human. He was a taiyoukai, there wasn't anyway that he would let her demean him by a few words and not answering his simple question. No one had such defiance against him and lived.
He growled a deep menacing growl that seemed to shake the earth their feet were placed on.
She looked at him with a bored expression on her face, "Since I don't want to die just yet and would rather watch you live the rest of your immortal life in pain, I will tell you."
Makkura paused studying the young demon lord before her. She smirked and her eyes turned a darker shade of blue.
"I sent them six hundred years into the future," Her smirk widened into a smile, "only to be reborn as humans."
Humans were inferior to demons, of course, so her changing the Lady of the Western Lands and his daughter into mere humans was mortifying.
This shocked him and his eyes widened slightly, "You. You will pay."
He threatened her, but she ignored him, "Sayonara, Sesshoumaru-SAMA. Next time I will take you down. But that won't be until after I see you suffer." She then laughed as she disappeared all together. Her laughter rang in his head as if she was still there in front of him. That laugh was as cold as steel ad he narrowed his eyes as he stared at the spot she once stood.
'If only I had saved them in time.' He thought as he closed his eyes, 'I failed them. I failed to protect them, the only ones who ever cared for me other than my own mother.'
SKSKSKSKSKSK
Sesshoumaru shot up from his futon suddenly, "That dream again…" He always had that same dream, every time his body needed rest. He would always have that same nightmare. It was real. It really happened. He really lost them and he was at fault for letting that vile creature get too close to them. War had suddenly struck then and he had to protect the Palace of the Moon and as he did, he lost those he loved the most after his mother had died.
"While I was away, she must have disposed of them. She will die for her insolence." He had promised himself, but now here he was ten years later still wondering where that impudent wench could have vanished too.
She was hiding somewhere and he would find her and get to the bottom of this. Now he had to worry about Naraku, but once that baka half demon was out of the way he would have more time to find her and get them back. He then remembered again what his father said to him, before his demise.
SKSKSKSKSKSK
Sesshoumaru was on the beach, his father, the great Inu no Taishou, in front of him, bleeding profusely. Inutaishou was looking at the moon from where he stood, his garments, fur, and long hair blowing slightly in the wind. Another drop of his dark blood hit the ground, staining it.
"Sesshoumaru, do you have someone to protect?" he asked already seeming to know the answer to his question and he didn't bother to glance at his son. His blood continued to fall; the wound was deep from his battle with Ryuukotsusei.
"I have no one to protect, such a thought is ridiculous." Replied Sesshoumaru, his voice cold as he narrowed his golden eyes at his father. Hatred, anger, and coldness could only be seen in his eyes before all of those emotions vanished all together and they were blank again as he continued to look at his father's back.
Before another word could be spoken, the great inu youkai ruler ran toward Izayoi leaving Sesshoumaru to contemplate the conversation alone. Inutaishou had heard her cry from far away.
'He runs off to save a worthless human and an even more worthless half-breed. That filthy ningen was the only reason my father was not able to save my own mother from her death.'
He heard his father's voice ring in his head again as he walked away, "Sesshoumaru, do you have someone to protect?"
SKSKSKSKSKSK
"I'm fine really!" Kagome tried to reassure her friend.
"Well, bye you two, we have to go and drop off these books at Ami's house. We'll see you guys tomorrow!" the three of them waved and headed to the right and across a busy intersection.
"Hey, come on, I know a short cut!" exclaimed Karina pulling Kagome into a heavily wooded pathway.
Kagome had a bad feeling, this feeling she knew well. A feeling of a familiar presence that was following them, but she couldn't place who it was.
She couldn't tell if they meant harm or not so she kept a look out.
All of a sudden the person she never thought she'd see in her time jumped down from a nearby tree.
"Miko. Karina. Come with me." He said, his tone as icy and cold as ever as he looked at the two girls. He wasn't one to mess around.
Kagome's eyes widened with shock.
"Kagome, do you know this guy?" asked Karina looking at Kagome's shocked expression with worry written on her face, "And what's with this 'miko stuff'?"
Karina looked at the tall figure with narrowed eyes, "How do you know my name?"
-End of Chapter-
Footnotes: Yeah. I kind of forgot the names of Kagome's friendsagain, although, I have them somewhere! Heh, sorry!
Also, the flashback was partially from the third movie. (Like I said there would be references from it.) Although, I do not know at this point in time what truly became of Sesshoumaru's mother, that part I made up! And one more thing, that might not be exactly as it went in the movie, but the whole thing that is important is the protecting part, so there.
Fallen: Yep, a cliffy! Now review or you'll never find out what happens .:laughs evilly:.
Inuyasha: What does this crazy bitch have up her sleeve this time?
IG: Uh, that wasn't something you should have called her, doggy! O.o
Fallen: What. Did. You. Call. Me? .:narrows eyes:. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that the SK break things, I used those because FF.N kept getting rid of my asterisks, which was annoying me to death, so I thought letters would be best. Of course the S and K stand for Sesshoumaru/Kagome!
IG: Uh oh! Inuyasha's in trouble! Better close this thing before it gets nasty and violent. Fallen can be a violent person! Ja ne minna-san! REVIEW! And no flames, they make me cry! But Fallen loves feedback and she loves her readers!
