Kagome Miko207

Kagome lay there on her mat in her own personal hut, not able to sleep a wink, fore her mind had racing thoughts of "what ifs."

If she knew that Rin got her letter, she might feel more at ease, Or maybe she wouldn't, she still hated herself for not being at Lord Sesshoumaru side when he died. No one knew why she has hated herself so much for it; they didn't know that Kagome had been in love with him.

InuYasha has survived, but Lord Sesshoumaru hadn't, or so Kagome thought. InuYasha, after being rejected by Kagome turned to Kikyou, he had thought Kagome would get jealous, but she didn't, she never cared.

As Kagome lay there thinking over these things, something in the back of her mind was nagging at her. It felt like she was wrong about something, yet she didn't know what about. Maybe it was she had forgotten to do something that day. She thought about it, nope still nothing.

Kagome woke up to the sound of birds chirping cheerfully. Even though Kagome only got only a few hours of sleep, she felt wide awake, today was the anniversary of Lord Sesshoumaru's death, even though it seemed to be a cheerful day outside, it wasn't, it was a sad day.

Kagome exited her hut, only to spot a letter next to the opening of the hut. It appeared to be in Rin's semi-neat scrawl.

She picked it up and started reading it. It seemed that Rin wanted Kagome to come and visit her at the Castle, as soon as she was awake. Kagome decided that she would, then pay her respects to the deceased Demon Lord.

Kagome grabbed her bow and arrow as a precaution, even though Naraku was defeated, there still lurked dangers. Also she knew that her new demon powers would work well, she still felt strange without her bow and arrow. She started off toward the Castle at a brisk walk.

As Kagome was walking she was recalling the past years after the death of Lord Sesshoumaru. She remembered the so-called cold and scrutinizing look he would always look at her. It wasn't actually cold and scrutinizing, but to others it appeared that way.

Also, the day she was kidnapped by him, oh Kami how she thought that was the most wonderful thing in the world. But that fateful day kept replaying in her mind, it never seemed to stop, never.

Kagome reached the Castle within a few hours. She still felt uncomfortable every time she saw it, for some reason it made her feel like Lord Sesshoumaru was still alive.

On one came out to greet her, she knew that no one would, fore Jaken has long ago died. Rumors had been spread about his demise, she didn't know for sure if he was dead, but she assumed so.

She approached the tall, heavy oak doors, and silently wished she wasn't here. She knocked on the door with the silver knocker, wondering if servants and maids still worked here.

The door was soon opened, but not by the person she was expecting. The moment she saw the person she fainted from shock. The person who had answered the door just so happened to be, Lord Sesshoumaru.

A/n: what will happen next? Will Kagome bolt out of the Castle? Or will she freak out and think that Sesshoumaru is a ghost?
