Rating: T (May Change)

Author: Dark Void Princess 21 (DVP21)
Summary: What if Kaname was never engaged to Yuuki and had someone else he desired. He meets Kagome in the Feudal Era when he is just a kid and meets her again after her journey. And what's more is that there is more to her than meets the eye. The Higurashi's are her adoptive family. Her 'mother' was good friends with Kagome's parents who were vampires? How does this change everything?

Chapter Four

Kaname had grown up some more. He was currently eight in human years. He now had a younger sister named Yuuki. She was gentle and caring. It would often remind him of Kagome. At times he would be blinded by his fantasies wishing it was the blue eyed girl.

Kagome never kept her promise to him. She never came back. Though he should be angry, he couldn't. Instead of him getting angrier, it made him feel heart broken. He still cherished the memories so did Juuri and Haruka. Yuuki never knew of her existence and still doesn't to this day.

He also hasn't seen Natsuki Asahina or Keisuke Tsukimizu since he heard that Natsuki had gotten pregnant. That was a year before Yuuki's birth. Although his parents hid it well, they knew something he didn't. It would irk him at times, but as a pureblood should, he kept his emotions to himself.

As he opened the door, he heard his sister yell his name as he ran to him. He treated her gently. They started talking to each other a bit before Juuri asked to speak to him in private. As the two left the room, Haruka stayed back and spent time with Yuuki.

"What would you like to speak of?" Kaname had a feeling he knew what it is about.

"Please be careful of what you say to Yuuki." Juuri looked solemn and sad. "You know she cares for you deeply. You must face the reality that Yuuki isn't Kagome"

"I do see them as different people." Of course no one could ever replace Kagome. "Yuuki has yet to abandon me." He hadn't meant to let that slip. Kaname sounded angry, but he was more frustrated at himself.

Juuri couldn't take it any longer. She didn't know that he was internally battling himself everyday as things reminded him of her. "Kagome didn't abandon you! She had to fulfill her duties and return to her time!" Juuri immediately slapped her hands over her mouth. She had just let something important slip. Not anywhere near the whole story but an important factor.

Kaname wouldn't let the slip up pass. "Her time? Your implying she wasn't from the Feudal Era."

There was no backing out now. It wasn't like she had to tell him everything though. If he did there was no guessing that he would want to visit her now. Unfortunately she had to continue the life she had told her about.

"She wasn't.

Kagome sighed. Sixteen year old turning seventeen Kagome was finally done middle school.

After defeating Naraku and completing the jewel, they came to the agreement that there was no such thing as a pure wish. In the end Kagome became it's permanent guardian. She would be its guardian until the day of her death.

Unfortunately she missed so much of her third year as a middle school that she had to repeat the year. It wasn't much of a surprise though. She did miss a lot of school. Naraku had caused her so much trouble that she even missed her exams.

She repeated the year and passed with flying colours.

She then started the first half of the year in a high school near the shrine. However due to a science experiment which went wrong (and set the school on fire), it was closed for the rest of the year.

Kagome had prepared transfer papers. She received a letter in the mail. She had been accepted into Cross Academy. It was a school that had dorms. It wasn't that she hated her adoptive family. She was truly grateful to them. Only she wanted some time to herself.

She was suppose to start in a week. She smiled a small smile. A new adventure. A fresh start.

She headed upstairs packing.

I would just like to say that Kaname's and Kagome's parts are written at different parts in their lives. There are several years separating the two scenes. Just trying to prevent any confusion there may be.

I know this chapter is a few hundred words shorted than the last three but I forgot that I had soccer tonight + I have a history test tomorrow. I missed last week of school b/c I went on vacation. So I don't know a good portion of what is on the test. I really need to study. I promise I will make the next chapter a bit longer than normally to make it up to you all.

I am running through all the scenarios of how Kaname and Kagome could meet again. If you would like to tell me a idea/suggestion feel free.
