Sorry I took so long to update, it's hard to keep all my stories up to date! Hope you're still reading.
Summary: Life can't be better when your nemisis is dead and you've finally found the man you can spend the rest of your life with, right? Wrong! For Kagome, that means leaving the Feudal era and the man she loves, forever. But Fate wasn't done with her just yet.
Kagome sighed to herself as she watched her students finish off their exams with a half and hour left in class.
She cleared her throat, "Alright, it looks like everyone is done, would the last person in every row please collect the tests and bring them up to my desk?"
And obediently the student in the last seat of every row clambered up and grabbed their peers' tests and placed them in a pile on their teachers' desk before once again sitting down.
Kagome smiled, "well, either you're all smarter than I gave you credit for or the test was to easy. I hadn't planned on doing anything else today, and I can't let you out this early. So do you have any ideas?"
"One of the girls near the back raised her hand before speaking, "didn't you grow up on a shrine? Why don't you tell us one of the legends you know?"
The rest of the class either nodded or voiced their agreement. Kagome laughed, "Alright, I can do that." Sitting oh her desk Kagome crossed her legs at the knee, "Lets seeā¦. Well how about the one about the Priestess of the Future and the battle for the Shikon No Tama?"
The class cheered in acceptance, and sat forward to listen to their teacher speak.
Taking a deep breath Kagome began the tale, "Many years ago there was a young girl, it was her 15th birthday when she had somehow fallen through a well on her family's property, but it wasn't any ordinary Well. This well took her 500 years into the past, and when there the young girl was attacked by many demons who were all seeking a Jewel called the Shikon no Tama.
The Shikon no Tama was a powerful Jewel which had disappeared many years before when it's previous protector ordered it burned with her body when she died. The Jewel had brought nothing but pain and sadness to the life of the Miko who had protected it. It was the cause of the deception and betrayal between her and her half-demon lover. There was another Half-demon, who was after the jewel, so he killed the Miko after she had pinned her Half-demon lover to a tree, where he was meant to forever be locked.
But after many years had passed and the poor Half-demon stayed pinned to the tree, and the Jewel had gone missing, the young Girl who fell through the well managed to free the Half-demon form the tree. But she had also brought the jewel back to the past with her.
It turned out that the young girl was actually the reincarnation of the past protector of the jewel. And the Shikon had been sealed in her body, only to be ripped out when she was attacked by another demon. And in an odd turn of events the Shikon no Tama ended up being shattered into hundreds of shards and scattered throughout the lands.
So the Young girl, who was a Miko herself and the half-demon began their journey to collect all the shards. That is when they met their adversary, the evil Half-demon who had originally deceived the Miko and her lover causing her death and him being pinned to the tree. He wanted the Jewel for evil. so the race to collect the shards began.
The young Miko and half-demon ran into many people and as the time passed a few companions joined them in their quest for justice against the evil half-demon. The met a monk, demon slayer, fox-demon pup and the demon slayers pet fire cat demon as well as many others who became friends or allies. There was a wolf-demon who had fallen for the young Miko and his pack, and even the half-demons older half-brother who was a full demon and powerful lord of the West became their ally.
But their were many things they had to overcome, for example, the old Miko who had first protected the jewel arose form the grave, but held only ill feelings for her past lover and on many occasions tired to kill him and his pack.
But something unexpected happened. Happened. The young Miko fell in love while she was in the past. In the first few years she had always believed that she had feelings for the half-demon, but as time past and she realized he only had eyes for his dead lover she gave up. But found that he heart had misled her, and that truly she had fallen for the cold Lord of the Western lands, the half-demons brother.
The lord was a quiet, emotionless Demon, but when he was with the young Miko he became kind and caring, he truly loved her. They spent all their time together, while still keeping their relationship a secret form their companions. The pair were madly in love and wished to stay together forever. But the fates had no intention of letting that happen.
The final battle approached and the large group of allies teamed up against the evil half-demon who had caused them all so much pain. Even the Undead Miko switched sided and came to the aid of the group. But the battle cost dearly. Many lives were lost and although they were victorious, they no mourned the loss of dear friends and close companions.
But the victory also meant the Miko from the future had to return to her time. Never to see the Demon Lord again, I - she had to leave the one person she loved forever." Kagome finished her story. Her class was silent; no one said anything, their faces etched with many different emotions.
It seemed like the silence would last forever until one boy in the front row asked the question everyone was thinking, "What happened to them Higurashi-Sensei? The Demon Lord and The Miko from the Future?"
Kagome sighed, "Well, the Demon Lord most likely died in battle or fell to an illness over the centuries. And as for the young Miko. She went to school, excelled in her classes and became a high school teacher. But not a day went by that she didn't think about her Lord, and the love that they shared."
And just as she finished saying that the Bell rang, signaling that Class was out for the weekend. "Alright everyone, have a good weekend, and be safe," Kagome called as her students began to gather their books and leave.
It was true over the years there had never been a day when Kagome had not thought about Sesshomaru, or what they had once shared. She missed him dearly, and prayed many nights to be able to see him just once more, just one more time, but her prayers were always left unanswered. As the seasons changed and Kagome began to piece her life in Present Japan back together she went to University, and surprised everyone by doing extremely well in all her classes and became a Teacher. Shortly after her graduation Kagome was offered a job at a High school, which she gladly accepted.
While Kagome organized her papers and packed them into her bag so she too could leave her friend Yuka came in. Both Yuka and Kagome taught at the school, and would often come into the others class.
Yuka leaned up against Kagome's desk and gave her a sly grin, "So what are you wearing tonight when you go out with Tomoko?"
Kagome was about to answer then one of the girls who had yet to leave giggled with her friends, "Higurashi-Sensei has a date!"
"Oh get out of her you guys!" Kagome laughed as she playfully shooed them out of the room. Before turning back to her friend, "Come on Yuka, you know I'm not interested in him, the only reason I'm even going out is because he's Eri's cousin and she set us up."
"Seriously Kagome, you haven't given a single guy a chance ever! Not even Hojo, who practically threw himself at your feet in High school. I mean ever since your 'illnesses' you don't give anyone a chance anymore, especially since you went into university and started working." Yuka said, using her fingers to make little quotations around the word illnesses.
Yuka never had believed Kagome was sick when she was missing school, but she never asked Kagome to tell her what was actually going on. If Kagome and her family thought whatever it was, was important enough to miss so much school, than it must have been.
Kagome just sighed, "It's complicated Yuka."
"Kagome listen to me, whoever that guy was, who gave you the necklace, it's time to let go. I don't know what happened between the two of you, but if you're still waiting for him, then maybe it's time you thought about moving on?" Yuka said seriously, placing her hand on Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome looked shocked, "How did you know about the necklace?" she asked, her hand moving sub consciously to the item that hung around her neck.
Yuka shook her head, smiling lightly, "you've been wearing it ever since you started to hang out with us again. In those three years I have never seen you take it off. Ever. It was pretty easy to figure out."
Kagome moved from her friends hold and gathered her things and turned towards the door, "I know I'll never see him again. I knew that when I left, but that's why I can't take it off. I promised I would never let it leave my neck, and I don't want to risk forgetting. I don't ever want to forget Yuka." And with that Kagome walked out of the room, leaving a very puzzled co-worker and friend behind.
:: Later that night ::
Kagome sat quietly in the beautiful restaurant, which Tomoko had taken her too and idly tapped, her fingers in boredom . Tomoko was a nice guy, but he just wasn't interesting. All he had done all evening was talk about himself and what he had done. And Kagome was bored out of her mind.
Finally she couldn't take it anymore, "Would you excuse me a moment? I have to run to the bathroom." Kagome stood from her spot and made her way to the restroom.
As she weaved her way gracefully between the tables Kagome sensed something. It was very small, but she could sense magic being used nearby. But she shook her head, she had sensed that many times before, but could never figure out what it was. Out of curiosity Kagome turned her gaze towards where the feeling was emanating from.
She was surprised to find that magic was coming from a small table where two very well dressed Business men were sitting. For some reason the two men looked familiar, but Kagome couldn't see why, she had never seen them before.
The first man, looked to be about 24 he was tall with a fair build. He had Short black hair which managed to somehow flop onto his face slightly. And a set of dark blue eyes.
The second man was the one who caught Kagome's attention the most. He was much taller than the other man, and appeared to be about 27. He had broad lean shoulders, and held his head with a sense of regality. He had longer Black hair which ended just past his shoulders, at the moment he had it held back in a loose tail fastened at the back of his neck. His eyes were a light brown color, but held no feeling in them from what Kagome could see.
Shaking her head Kagome continued on her path to the bathroom. Ignoring the image of a stoic Demon lord from her past which had popped up in her mind. Not noticing that as she walked away the second man held his nose slightly higher into the air before glancing in the direction she had just gone.
Kay that's it! Hope everyone liked the newest chapter! Can't wait to write more soon! Please review.
Luv,
Sweetheart
