3 years later
Kagome looked over at the grave sight for Kaede and smiled a little before folding the sheets hanging on the tree and turned to the hills.
"Sagome, time to come in." Kagome waited but got no response. She called again but still received no response. Kagome was about to go look for her child but saw the white haired girl running with something in her arms.
"Mommy, you have to help it," she said. Kagome looked and saw a familiar looking fat cat.
"Buyo?" The cat leaped out of Sagome's tiny arms and jumped to her.
"You know the cat, mommy? You have to help it! Its so big its going to explode!"
"The cat is fine, he's just fat."
Fatter than when I left him.
"How did you get to this era," Kagome asked him. He meowed and rubbed his head on her face.
"So he will be okay?"
"Yes, he'll live for a while. Where did you find him?"
"At the bottom of the well," she said with guilt.
"I told you not to go near it. Demons have been around there recently and I don't want you hurt."
"I know."
Kagome sighed and patted the girl's head.
"Its a good thing you did go there. Buyo isn't in shape to run if a demon tried to take him." She smiled before running inside. She let Buyo down so that he could run after her.
"Did you hear that," Kagome asked, "Buyo was at the bottom of the well." Sesshomaru came down from the tree he was napping in and walked over to her.
"You asked the cat why he was in this era, does that mean he arrived from your time?"
"If it weren't for the collar with his name tag I would have just thought it was a random cat. It's odd that he's here." Midoriko has been dormant for months within Kagome and this week, Kagome has felt something shift in the air.
"Does it have to do with the feeling that you've been receiving?"
"I don't know, it could be. But the jewel is gone. Even with the jewel Buyo shouldn't be able to even get here." Sesshomaru thought for a minute but we were interrupted by Sagome's scream. We ran inside to see her in a chair pointing at Buyo.
"He's a demon! He's going to eat me!" Buyo looked at me with a lazy look before grooming himself.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"He coughed up hair! Its a humans hair and he's going to eat me next!" I looked and saw that hair resembled Buyo's fur a bit.
"Sagome, that's Buyo's hair."
"What?" Kagome picked up the girl.
"Cats lick themselves and eat they're hair by accident. That hair balls up and they cough it out. Its called a hair ball."
"So he isn't a demon?"
"No, he's just a lazy cat."
Kagome looked back and saw Sesshomaru sitting in a chair holding his chest.
"Sesshomaru?"
"I'll be fine in a second." Kagome smiled slyly.
"Was the great lord Sesshomaru... scared?" He glared at her and she chuckled.
"Sagome, go to your room and make a bed for the beast." Sagome beamed before hopping down from Kagome's arms and picking up the cat. Kagome smirked when Sesshomaru stood.
"Miko, I've warned you the consequences of teasing me."
"What do you mean... Sesshomaru- sama." Sesshomaru lost his self control at her words and grabbed her before she could run away."
"W-wait, Sesshomaru. Sagome is in the other room!"
"She's never heard us before." He began to kiss me from my jawline down to my neck.
"Ugh, get a room guys." The two stopped and looked at Rin who had sacks of produce, herbs and meat.
"R-Rin! You're back so soon," Kagome said nervously with a apple red blush.
"Too soon, looks like. I got the stuff you needed." Rin had grown up and was able to go out on her own, now. Before Kaede had passed, she and Kagome helped her of her fear of humans, along with Kohaku (A/N: cue my smirk).
"T-thanks. Sagome is in her room."
"Okay." Once Rin left Sesshomaru went back to his seduction.
"Sesshomaru, wait. We have to go to the well."
"That matter can wait." He tried to pull off her clothing but Kagome managed to push him off.
"We can continue after we figure out whats going on, alright?" Sesshomaru sighed before agreeing.
"Very well, lets go."

The two arrived to the well and Kagome felt the familiar feeling of home. The feeling made her hope that she was right but she pushed the feelings aside.
"Well, what are we going to do," Sesshomaru asked. Kagome sighed and thought on the answer. Soon Buyo ran and jumped onto Kagome's back. In a panic, Kagome fell forwards into the well before Sesshomaru could catch her. She closed her eyes and waiting for the pain but felt none. When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was between dimensions, as she was when she first traveled through the well.
"Phew, that took a while."
"M-Midoriko? Whats happening?"
"I probably made it to where you and anyone you chose, could go back to your time. It doesn't matter how many you take with you, either, as long as they are willing to go with you."
"Why so suddenly? Is that why you weren't around lately? To do this?"
"I swear you get smarter every day! I'm so proud!"
"B-But Midoriko-"
"Enough," Midoriko said. She sighed before smiling at Kagome.
"I've taught you everything that I know. This spell, in order for the well to work for you like it did before you were made to choose that day, it took a lot of energy. I only have enough left to speak to you in here." Midoriko hugged Kagome warmly, just as Sesshomaru and Sagome were there.
"I'm going to miss you, dumpling. Take care okay?"
"Wait! You can't go-" Midoriko pushed Kagome away and smiled as she began to dissapear into particles of light. Soon she was on ground again, as if she had floated through the ground itself. Something shiny caught her attention and she picked it up.
"The sacred jewel? But how did-"
"Mommy?" Kagome turned to see Sesshomaru and Sagome behind her.
"Why is she here? How did either of you-" Kagome stopped as she remembered Midoriko's words.
So she really did...
"Mommy, whats going on? It feels strange here."
"Sesshomaru?"
"She was watching us at the well. I hadn't realized until she jumped in after me."
"I see."
"I'm telling you, gramps, Buyo came in here and vanished."
"Non-sense, the well hasn't worked since Kagome had left. There is no way that-"
"Sota? Grampa?" A light flashed down from the top of the well and the three were blinded.
"My word!"
"Sis? Is it really you?"
"Of course its really me. I can tell your still a baby."
"What? Am not!"
"Just get us out of here!"
"Is that InuYasha? He looks weird."
"Its not InuYasha! Look I'll explain everything once were out of here!"

"Mom, can you stop crying please?"
"How could you ask me to do such a thing? My baby has grown up and had a child! I have a granddaughter now!"
"I swear besides your looks you haven't changed," Kagome mumbled. She looked around and noticed Sesshomaru wasn't in the room with them
"So tell me, is he the father?" She looked at her mother and smiled.
"Yup, thats him."
"Oh really? What happened to InuYasha?"
"Well, he never stopped loving someone else. When she came back into the picture then it was over."
"Oh, well does he take care of you?"
"Yeah, he does." Mama Higarashi smiled at Kagome before Sagome came in.
"My father told me that you were my grandmother. Is that right?"
"Yep, thats right."
"If thats true then," Sagome pointed at me and asked, "why is mommy prettier than you?"
Kagome looked at her mother and knew what was coming.
"What was that? I don't think I heard you correctly, dear." Kagome felt her mother's coldness and remembered the smile she wore perfectly. Sagome stood in fear before mama Higarashi went from a cold smile to a genuine smile.
"I have an idea, lets go make a big dinner. I bet you haven't eaten properly since Kagome could never really cook."
"H-hey! I can cook; right Sagom-"
Sagome stood and got excited.
"I'm going to help make dinner! Yay!" When the two left, Mama Higarashi turned and gave her a smile of triumph.
Kagome walked around the house and saw that everything was the same. Nothing really changed at all except new furniture. She went up to her room and noticed that the door was opened. She went inside and the only one there was Sesshomaru.
"I wanted to have an idea of your life here. It seems rather peaceful," he said holding up a picture of me.
"If you mean a world without demons attacking at every opportunity then yes, its peaceful."
He placed the picture of her with her family down before looking around at more things in curiosity. Nothing seemed touched in Kagome's room. It was cleaned but everything was as it were when she left. She couldn't help wonder if this were a harsh dream.

"Kagome, did you like it here," Sesshomaru asked.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I liked it here. This was my home."
"You say was, so do you not like it anymore."
"Thats not it. Back then I made the choice to be in your era for InuYasha. To be with him. I loved this place but I loved InuYasha more. I knew I'd miss it and I knew I could never come back here so I accepted it. I was often sad about not seeing my family but that was a price I paid."
Sesshomaru looked at her with a blank expression. Sagome ran into the room with new cloths on.
"Mommy, father, look! Grandma gave me mommy's old cloths. Do you like it?"
Looking at her, Kagome smiled.
"I love it, Sagome. They look better on you."
"Really," she squealed out. Kagome nodded and Sagome ran back out the room.
Sesshomaru stood and walked over to her.
"Would you like to stay?"
"Huh? What are you talling about?"
"If we could, would you like to remain here?"
"Sesshomaru..."
"Sagome seems happy enough here. You said it was free of a lot of demon activity. I have already figured out how to work all of the things in this house."
"How did he manage to do that!?"
"If we could stay here and never go back to my era would you do so?"
I thought about it then stood to meet him in the middle of the room. I wrapped my arms around his waist I snuggled against him.
"I'd go where ever you are Sesshomaru. If you remain here or back in your time then that's where I would be. But that won't be the case at all."
"What do you mean?"
"I spoke with Midoriko as I was passing through the well. She told me that she used the last of her strength to open the well once more and make it so that I could pass through whenever I pleased like before. Only this time it can be more that just one perso passing through. As long as I live and am with the person or persons then I can bring whoever I want."
"I see, so if we remain here, we can still go back?"
"Yes, so if they want, everyone could come here."
"Or you could visit them, correct?" Kagome stared at him before nodding.
He stared at her for a few seconds more before leaving her alone in her room.

"Wow, I never thought I'd feel shampoo and conditioner again! This has to be a dream!"
"Mommy, my hair feels good," Sagome said as Kagome lathered her hair with Shampoo.
"Well thats good. Soon it will be silky smooth."
It was now evening and dinner was almost ready. Kagome decided that she had wanted a bath and Sagome was curious about why her mother was so eager gor it when they bathe all the time.
After rinsing her hair, Kagome put conditioner in it then began to help her wash.
"I like it here, Mommy. Can we stay?" Kagome looked at her daughter and realized just how much she resembled herself as a young girl. Her eyes were ruby red, however, and her hair was sliver like Sesshomaru's. Besides those differences she looked like a childhood reflection. She may be hyper mostly but when she's serious, as she is now, she takes after her father. She becomes stoic and her face becomes blank.
"Mommy?" Kagome snapped out of her trance and gave Sagome a small smile.
"Lets get you dried off, okay? Grandma is probably finished with dinner."

Sesshomaru heard Kagome avoid the question their daughter asked and sighed. He wanted Kagome's honest answer before he could make the decision to stay here. He was sure he could learn the ways of the new age in little time, with her help. He also wanted Sagome to grow up without having to worry about demons devouring her.
It was unclear if Sagome will have the abilities of a priestess or if she would be half demon but time will tell. But the decision to stay will be for Kagome to decide.

Kagome told her family about her time if in the feudal era and Sota was threatening to kill InuYasha if he ever came back to their time.
"Sota, it's fine. I'm alright with it."
"Seriously? You gave up living here for him and he just dumps you for some other chick, but your okay with that?"
"I have something better now," Kagome said as she grabbed Sesshomaru's hand out of sight from everyone, "so yes I'm fine."
"If you say so."
"Kagome, are you sure you don't want to curse him? I have amulets and sutures for-"
"Even if I wanted to, Grandpa, its night like they'll work," Kagome said looking away with her eyes closed angrily. Grandpa Higarashi deadpanned before clearing his throat.
"I'll have you know that the talismans of our ancestors have warded off evil for centuries now."
"Maybe they're all quacky like you are Gramps," Sota said.
"Watch it you brat." Kagome high fived Sota as they shared a laugh.
"So Sesshomaru," Mama Higarashi said as the three argued and Sagome stole Sota's food, "I want to thank you for staying by my Kagome. I know sge can be a handful."
"Its no trouble. She's actually helped me as well. I've become more human than I'd like to admit." The older Higarashi woman chuckled before placing a hand on his.
"I honestly wasn't sure about you at first. Now I can say that my daughter has been and will always be in good hands."
Sesshomaru didn't reply. Instead he looked over to Kagome and watched her as she had her brother in a headlock.
"I thought I missed this, you know, The rowdiness of dinner with those three. Now I'm not too sure."
"So she's always been like that, I see."
"Mmmhmm, she's like her father used to be. I sometimes see him in her. Like right now."
Sota was trying to fight off Kagome and save his food from his niece while Grandpa Higarashi droned on about their family history. Dinner continued like that and before you knew it, Sesshomaru smiled and felt warmth spread through his body.

Sesshomaru watched Kagome and Sagome sleep in her old bed. Kagome said it would be a tight fit but he could join them. He wanted to, so badly, but thought of their comfort and declined. He, instead, looked around her room more, wanting to know more about her life here. He looked at the pictures in curiosity and wondered how she was in them. He would learn everything in time.
I looked inside her small closet and saw a box with more pictures. Pitcures of her and three girls, her as a child, some with her family, then one with a boy he didn't know. She looked like she was trying to block the picture as the boy laughed. He sat it aside with the others before coming across a faded picture of her as a young girl and a man that looked like her.
"Thats my father," Kagome said from over his shoulder. She sat next to him and smiled at it.
"I haven't tried to look at this picture in a while. This was taken a few weeks before he died."
"You can capture moments like this. How?"
"Using a camera. You capture anything you want using a camera and it is saved in a piture." Kagome looked to his side and saw the pictures of Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi and the one they took of her and Hojo together at school the day before graduation.
"You never answered Sagome's question." She looked at him and saw him looking at the picture of her and her father.
"Kagome, would you like to remain here? The well is opened according to you so that means that we can stay on one side and visit the other."
"Why are you so eager to live here in this era," she asked him.
Sesshomaru was quiet for a while before looking at her.
"It seems peaceful here. I want to make memories with you both and capture them as you do in these photos. I want to be able to breathe easier knowing that the only thing we must worry about is human activities. Thats why I'm so adamant about this."
Kagome watched him before looking up.
"Even if I did want to live in your era, how could I when its two against one?" Sesshomaru was confused at first. Then Kagome smiled at him and he understood that she said yes to him.

The next day, Kagome and Sesshomaru went back to tell everyone the news.
"Wait so you can travel back and forth through time," Rin asked.
"Yeah, its pretty cool too. Before only her and InuYasha could do it," Shippo said.
"Now everyone can do it as long as I'm with you when doing it," Kagome said. She had gathered Rin, Jakken, upon Sesshomaru's request, and Shippo to Sango's home. Her kids were playing outside as they discussed this.
"You guys could always come back with me and live there if you'd like. Thats what we planned on doing."
"What, really? Lord Sesshomaru this can't be! She must have spelled you or-"
"Jakken, stay silent," Sesshomaru commanded to which Jakken obeyed.
"So we can all go through the well now," Sango asked.
"Yes, once through you can stay of you can just come back."
"That sounds great. And you all decided to stay?" Kagome nodded and Sesshomaru stood closer behind her.
"Its a nice offer, Kagome, but I think I'll stay here. I'm comfortable with what I have and know now," Sango said.
"I'll stay too, Lord Sesshomaru," Rin said, "whos going to take care of Lady Kaede's grave and home? Not to mention master Jakken here."
"Why you insolent brat! It is I that needs to care for you!"
"I can take care of myself now, Kagome taught me how to purify things."
Rin was a priestess apprentice to Kaede as well after she blessed her own metal pellets one day. Kagome taught her some as well and she assisted with both Kaede and Kagome multiple times in healing charms and other things.
"I'm going to stay too," Shippo said, "I'm still going to become a great demon and to do that I need to be here."
Kagome nodded and smiled. She predicted that this would happen. Everyone had built a life here and leaving it behind would be something not up for negotiation.
"Very well than. We'll be heading back now so that I can get Sagome and Sesshomaru adjusted to everything."
"Don't forget to visit," Sango said.
"Yeah, Kagome, you always forget important things," Rin teased.
"Oh, quiet you!"

Kagome and Sesshomaru made it back to the well after Kagome visited Kaede's grave and gathered a few things from their old home. There they found InuYasha standing there waiting.
"Took you long enough," he stated.
"InuYasha? Why are you here," Kagome asked.
"You going back," InuYasha asked, avoiding her question.
"Well, yeah. We decided to live in my time from now on."
"I see." InuYasha looked to Sesshomaru who didn't even spare him a glance.
"Hey, Sesshomaru, I need to talk to you for a minute."
"You must talk to me? For what purpose?"
InuYasha looked to Kagome and she caught on.
"Alright, I'll be over there, wherever there is."

Once finished speaking, InuYasha left and Sesshomaru walked back to her stiffly.
"What was that all about?"
"Nothing of your concerns."
"Then why are you so-"
"Kagome, let this one rest please." She looked at him before looking away.
"Alright, I suppose."
Together they jumped through the wellbut Sesshomaru sensed he hurt Kagome's feelings from the way he spoke to her.
Once between dimensions, Sesshomaru grabbed Kagome and held her from behind.
"I apologize for how I spoke. I just do mot feel comfortable with sharing that conversation."
"It's fine, I get it."
"No you're hurt. I've told you not to brush off your feelings with me, Kagome." Once in the future, Kagome looked back at Sesshomaru.
"Isn't that what you just did with me?"
"No, I did not share our conversation with you," He stated calmly, "I'm not brushing how I feel to the side."
"Well is the conversation going to hurt anyone if you tell me?"
"Yes, it, in fact, will. Thats why I can not tell you."
"Oh yeah right," Kagome said as she began to climb up the ladder.
"Now you angry." She paused half way up the ladder and looked down at him.
"Of course I'm angry! InuYasha comes back out of the blue to talk with you about something that he doesn't want me to know. Is it about me? Will it hurt me if you tell me whats going on?"
"Your over reacting."
"I'm not over reacting!" Suddenly Kagome began to fall from the ladder, as if in slow motion. Sesshomaru managed to catch her before looking over her body for injuries.
"I'm fine," She said, "I must have slipped when I yelled." Once Sesshomaru was satisfied he sighed before looking at her.
"Why does this bother you so terribly? Is it because it was InuYasha or is it something else?"
Kagome glared at him and climbed up the ladder, Sesshomaru right behind her.

Later that evening, Kagome told her mother and grandfather everything that happened while she was in the past. Sota had taken Sagome to the park and Sesshomaru went out to explore the city.
"-and then after we found out that it was the head servant. He tried to take me as his wife!"
"Oh my, it seems you were quite popular in the past," Mama Higarashi said teasingly.
"Did you find any of our ancestors?" Kagome shook her head no and her grandfather sobbed.
"Our only ticket to the past and you found nothing of our family. What kind of granddaughter have you given me, Kyouko!"
"Now now, father, it's not Kagome's fault."
"Yeah, gramps, its not my fault. Did you not hear what I had going on myself?"
"Where home," Sota called out.
"We're in the office!" Tiny feet could be heard and the dokr slide opened.
"Mommy! I made a new friend! His name is Haku!"
"Haku, huh?" I hope she doesn't tell Sesshomaru about him...
"Yeah, and guess who his dad is, Kagome? Its Hojo."
"Hojo? I need to get in touch with him and everyone else now that I'm back."
"You don't have to look very far," Sota told her.
He slid the door opened and there was Hojo, a young boy, Eri, and Yuka.
"Long time no see, Kagome," Hojo said with a smile.
"Hojo, Eri, Yuka, what are you guys doing here?"
"Sota told us that you were back in town to stay and we just had to come," Eri said hugging Kagome. Yuka hugged her other side before speaking.
"He also told introduced us to your daughter and we wanted to know who her godmother was," Yuka said.
"Yuka!"
"What its true! Well Kagome?"
"God mother?"
"Don't tell me that you didn't even give it a thought, Kagome."
"Well," Kagome gave a nervous laugh and scratched the back of her head.

Later that evening, Kagome learned all about her friend's lives over dinner. Eri became a writer, Yuka a news anchor, and she was told that Ayumi was an interpreter for any Americans and Russians that traveled to Japan. Yuka had married and Eri was seeing a Korean actor. Hojo took over his mother's shop and he got married but after having Haku, she left him to be with someone else.
"So Kagome, is Sagome's father the bad boy that you were seeing in middle school," Eri asked.
"Huh? Bad boy?"
"You know, the cute guy in the weird cloths from before," Yuka explained.
"You mean InuYasha? No, she's not his."
"Oh wow, really," Eri said excitedly.
"Then who's is she?"
The door opened and Sesshomaru entered the room.
"Am I interrupting something," he asked.
"Guys, meet Sesshomaru. He's Sahome's father." The girls eyes Sesshomaru as he sat next to Kagome. Hojo remained silent, as he had throughout the entire conversation.
"Well, he sure does look like your bad boy but he looks scarier," Yuka said, "the other guy just looked mean."
"You got that right. Kahome you sure do know how to pick them," Eri mumbled sarcastically.
"Hey, I heard that!"
The door opened once more and A wavy haired girl pounced on Kagome crying.
"Kagome, your the worst! Its been years since you left us and when you finally come back you forget all about us!"
"I'm sorry, Ayumi. I didn't mean to make you sad."
"I'm not sad!" Ayumi then took notice of everyone else before her eyes landed on Sesshomaru.
"Well he looks different from the last time," she said.
"Thats not the same guy. Looks like Kagome has a thing for guys with silver hair," Yuka teased.
"Thats Sesshomaru, Kagome's husband," Hojo spoke. Everyone watched him nervously.
"What, guys? Its okay, Honestly."
"Oh Hojo, we totally forgot that you had a thing for Kagome back then," Ayumi stated, making everone except Sesshomaru deadpan.
"Ayumi, why'd you have to bring that up," Eri yelled, getting into her face.
"Everything was fine but you just had to open your big mouth."
"Calm down, guys. It's fine really," Hojo said nervously but looked over at Sesshomaru and saw the dark expression on his face.
"Kagome, explain this thing that this boy had for you."
Kagome looked at Sesshomaru nervously.
"A thing? That was in the past! He said he was over it too," Kagome looked back to Hono with the scary closed eyed smile she learned from her mother, "right Hojo?"
Hojo swore he saw fire around her and nodded his head yes vigorously.

After everone left and Kagome helped her mother with the cleaning, she collapsed on the bed, face first.
"Boy what a night. They've become more lively than the last I saw them."
"I found them intresting," Sesshomaru said. Kagome jumped, having not noticed he was in the room.
"You scared me there. I didn't see you at all."
"That boy, who is he to you?"
"Huh? You mean Hojo? He's a friend."
"Judging for the reactions received I'd say he was more than that."
"I mean, we went on a few dates in the past but I mostly had to leave him to go back to the feudal era."
Sesshomaru stalked towards her before pinning her on the bed.
"As long as I'm to only one winning your affections." He began kissing her passionately before it became more claiming. They were interrupted by a knock on the door and Kagome pushed Sesshomaru off the bed and to the floor just as the door opened.
"Kagome, I just came to let you know that Sagome wanted to sleep with me tonight," Mama Higarashi said.
"Okay mother." Her mother smiled before giving her a thumbs up.
"I want lots of grandchildren Kagome, do your best okay?"
"Mom!" Once the elder Higarashi woman left, Sesshomaru began his sexual assult on Kagome once more.
"Sesshomaru? Wait-"
"You heard the woman. She wants more grandchildren. We have a lot to do tonight."
"T-tonight? But-" Sesshomaru cut her off with a kiss that made her instantly give in.
"No more talking."

Imma just end it all right here! Thanks for reading Listen to Your Heart and giving me so much positivity on it. I really enjoyed writing this fanfiction and may write more later after I do some editing to this one and my previous one. Thanks again, my lovely human followers. It was a pleasure writing for you.
