When Kagome woke up Kurt was next to her, on a chair this time.

" Hey." Kagome said hoarsly.

" You're awake." He said taking her hand in his. " How'd you sleep?"

" Like a rock, no nightmares."

" That's great. You hungry? When was the last time you ate?" There was a silence. ' what if she won't eat?' " Kagome you won't get better if you don't eat." She didn't say anything.

" Actually, I am hungry." Kurt's heart almost stopped when Kagome smiled at him.

" Well then, I'll be right back." He said, his voice trailing off towards the kitchen. Kagome sighed and flopped back down to the pillow. She didn't like it; how she smiled at him. The way she cried into him the other night.

After all these months of blissful unfeeling he was making her feel again. Kurt had somehow turned her heart back on. And she didn't like it, or was it really that bad.

" It was so great having Kurt's arms around me. May be someday I coul-" Kagome stopped in mid-sentence when she felt a dark presence enter the room. " Kurt!" Kagome screamed as she felt a clawed hand on her shoulder.

Kagome was ripped from the bed. The forced back down on her back.

" Kurt!" She screamed again, only to be slapped hard across the face.

" Silence bitch!" Kagome tried desperately to get off the bed and run, but Inuyasha was on top of her. Ignoring Inuyasha's command Kagome screamed again.

" Kurt!" Inuyasha grabbed her shoulders, and held her fast.

" Who's this you're calling for? Do you really think he can help you?" Finally Kagome freed her arms and started flailing them.

…………………….

" It's good she's got her appetite back." Kurt said to himself while grabbing a can of broth out of the cupboard. " She hasn't eaten anything in a long while, so nothing too strong." He thought as he poured the chicken broth into a pot to heat it up.

" I'll help her get better for now but… what's going to happen after she gets better? And then what? Is she going to tell me everything?"

The stove timer went off, and Kurt poured some of the broth into a waiting bowl, and turned off the stove. What would he do once he knew what happened. Will this lead to something more. Maybe she'll fa-

" Kurt!"

' That's Kagome's voice!' Kurt dropped the bowl and poofed into the medical room. Indeed it was Kagome who was screaming, but was wrestling with…herself.

But there was something wrong with the picture. The sheet was crinkled and stretched in places where it shouldn't be. And then, Kurt saw it. A flashing pulse of red and white, there was somebody on top of her.

Without thinking Kurt tackled the mass. With a loud hud they fell to the floor on the other side of the bed. Immediately Kurt de-tangled himself from the being and stood up.

And the first time he saw him clearly. Large red billowy outfit, long flowing silver hair, dog ears, and… yellow-ish golden eyes… just like him.

" This in not over." He growled, the vanished. Kurt just stood there for a moment. Then he remembered that there was some one else in the room.

" Kagome." He called to her, turning around. Kagome had colapsed onto the bed and was breathing hard. He was instantly by her side. She didn't say anything. Just held onto him with all her might.

" Kagome, was that… was that… Inuyasha?" Kagome stiffened at the name, actually pulled herself into his lap.

" Is there something wrong, we heard screaming?" Kagome heard the Professor's voice through the door. Her heart nearly stopped when she heard the second voice.

" Yes, we heard screaming." It was deep and regal. For the second time Kagome looked over Kurt's shoulder, and saw him.

There again was Mr. Taisho standing next to the Professor. His hair was black, and the markings on his face gone. Kagome backed away from Kurt and sat p against the head board with her knees up to her chest and glared.

" So this is the girl you've told me so much about." Mr. Taisho walked forward, then turned back to the Professor. " If I could have a moment alone with her." Kagome turned the color tooth paste.

" Of course, Kurt lets-"

" Kurt stays!" Kagome yelled grabbing his hand.

" Very well." The professor left the room. Mr. Taisho turned back to them and fixed his gaze on Kagome.

" For some reason I feel as if I know you. But I can't put mu finger on who you are." Kagome's eyes hardened, and she smirked.

" Well when you're over 600 years old the mind is the first thing to go." He jerked, then glared at her.

" Who are you?"

" Come now, remove your disguise. I know who you are, Lord Sesshomaru Taiyoukai of the West." His glare sharpened.

" You still haven't answered my question yet." He growled, letting his guise fall. His hair faded to white, the marks of his face and wrists, and his tail wound itself around his shoulder. Though his modern clothes stayed the same. " Answer my question."

Again Kurt was left out of the loop. Kurt never saw this much before. With the pointed ears and eyes it looked kind of like his.

" What kind of mutant are you?" Both Sesshomaru and Kagome stopped their glaring, and turned to Kurt, who had suddenly spoke. Kagome was the first to speak.

" Keh, he's no mutant, but a demon."

" Enough of this foolishness. Now tell me you are." Sesshomaru demanded.

" Am I really that easy to forget?" Kagome held out her hand, palm up, and a tiny holographic person appeared. It was a tiny Kagome, only her skin was flaw less, and her eyes were full of life, angry life but still life. Clad in a dark blue sweater, and short light blue skirt the tiny Kagome held the Tetsusaiga, and pointed it at Sesshomaru.

" Hey you! You tried to kill me didn't you!" THE tiny figure yelled, brandishing the un-transformed Tetsusaiga. A look of realization passed across Sesshomaru's face. Kurt on the other hand was staring at the little Kagome figure. Amazed at how short the skirt was, and the fact that Kagome was wearing it. He'd never seen her wearing anything but baggy pants.

" Inuyasha's bitch." Suddenly Sesshomaru was on the floor and Kagome was standing on the bed.

" Don't call me that!" Kurt could hear and see the tile cracking under Sesshomaru. " I'm not his anything! Never was and never will be!" A bunch of sharp objects flew from the cabinet and embeded themselves in the floor next to Sesshomaru's head. " Say it again dog, I dare you!"

" Okaa-san." Kagome's head snapped to the door, and all her anger faded when Shippo came into sight. She fell back to sit on the bed, and held her arms out to him. Kagome forgot Sesshomaru was even there, all that mattered was that her son was there.

" Kagome." It was Sesshomaru, he'd gotten to his feet.

" Well, what do you want?" She asked holding Shippo a bit tighter.

" When last I saw In-"

" Don't speak his name."

" Fine then, When last I saw the Hanyou he was desolate, and said you were dead. But as I see it now. You are very much alive, and I wondered why. Judging from your appearance you have been through more than death. And I fear that I have only made it worse, forgive me." He finished with a light bow. Kagome's eyes bugged out.

" What… the… crap."

" Kagome he's apologizing."

" I know that!" She snapped. "But why? It's not like you Sesshomaru. I'm used to you trying to kill me, not saying sorry."

" Over the years I have changed. There was no choice about it." He claimed taking a seat in the chair on the other side of the bed. " Over 800 years old and still young, because I am a demon. But you Kagome are mortal, why is it… how is it that you're still alive after 500 years?" And yet another silence cloaked the room.

" The bone-eaters well."

" The bone-eaters well? I've heard of such a thing. Deep in Inuyasha no Mori is it not?"

" Yes, That well 500 years ago is connected to a hidden well on the grounds of the shrine that my family owns. Actually it is the same well."

" The hidden well."

" I've been traveling back and forth through the well for the past two years." Kagome looked to Kurt, but he was too busy stuck in his own stupor.

' So she's been time traveling. 500 years? That'd be Japans Feudal ages wouldn't it? That explains… not much but more than I already know.'

" Well, now that we have that out of the way. What brought you here Kagome?" He asked crossing his legs ankle, over knee.

" Some of what you said is true. Yes I've been through hell, but dead I am not. Inuyasha tried to kill me, but as you can see I am alive. Now Sesshomaru what have you been up to for the past 500 years?"

" At the turn of the 21st century I started writing. By 2001 I got my first book out. Now I have eight books out, tow of which are now movies.

I've become a multi billion business/writer/director."

" And once again you are on of the richest men in the known world." She finished for him.

" Yes."

" So you know Kagome?" Again Kurt found his way into the conversation.

" A bit more in depth than you, but I've know Kagome for longer."

" So what brought you here Sesshomaru?"

" I met Charles during his college years. At first I thought him a demon like myself. But he wasn't, just a human with … a demonic soul housing itself inside him." He looked to Kurt. " You have one too. As does everyone else in this school." Then glanced at Kagome. " Some more that others."

" Pardon?"

" I thought humans would've sensed the demonic presence within themselves sooner, but in this time it seems that human spirituality-"

" is dead."

" Yes, So with you being a impossible powerful miko you actually attract more demon souls then a regular human."

" So that's why I seem to get new powers often?"

" New powers?" Kurt asked.

" Yeah, remember when I first came, and I had some control over gravity?"

" Yes."

" Well, now I can control light, sound, and gravity. I can conjure fire, but have a very difficult time controlling it, strenght, and some telepathy."

" You didn't tell the Professor?"

" I didn't tell anyone… no one but Shippo. I can never keep anything from him." She smiled sadly, ruffling the child's hair. " You were saying Sesshomaru?"

" Yes, I actually came to tell you something." His voice became rushed and quiet. As if he was afraid they'd be over heard. " I just had to make sure it was you. I only got a glimpse of you the other night."

" Yeah."

" You are in grave danger." Kagome raised a skeptic brow.

" Grave danger?" She asked flatly.

" Yes, the phrase is over used but I does describe the situation."

" So what am I in grave danger of?"

" If you keep on like this you-" Sesshomaru was cut off by a siren. The door burst open.

" Kurt, suit up and meet in the lobby. Hurry." Kurt stood up, and so did Kagome.

"Kagome yo stay here, your back isn't heeled yet." She set Shippo on the bed, and started for the door, but then turned back to Kurt.

" You think you can stop me? I've been sitting to damn long. I need to hit something . Sesshomaru, we'll finish this conversation later." With that she ran from the room.

Kurt stared at the empty door frame, mouth a gape.

" Kurt." Kurt turned to Sesshomaru, who was now standing.

" Yes."

" Don't hurt her." He nodded, and with a sense of understanding between the two of them Kurt poofed out of the room.
