Here's chapter two. How do you guys like it so far. Usually I would shoot any suggestions for me to write a hetero pairing with Sess/Kag, or Sakura/etc, and Ginny/Harry seeing as hate those three with every fiber of my being and that I am constantly wishing for their immediate demise. But she's my best friend so I'm willing to tolerate Kagome, and write the best damn story that I can. But after this story completion I have every intention of soaking for a very….very…very…very to the million billionth time, for a long…long…long time. But first I have to clean my tub, damn.
Previously on Sweet Winter Reminisce:
Unbeknownst to them cold red eyes watched them as the duo made their way back toward their camp. Very soon indeed Inuyasha would be in his grasp. He couldn't help that feral grin to spread across his face before he vanished into the darkness from whence he came from.
Chapter Two
"The Shift Part 1: It Begins"
"Sango is something the matter?" Miroku asked as he; leaned a little too closely toward the Taijia.
Sango jumped at the monks close proximity before stuttering a reply, "I….I….don't…..know." She finished hotly, her face now a very red color. "What do you suggest may be wrong Miroku?" She asked turning to look at him.
Miroku stood there with a strange look upon his face, the monk was obviously thinking very closely about something. "Perhaps it maybe Inuyasha's earlier declaration of love."
Sango stared at him in confusion. "Who are you talking about Monk?" She asked confusedly.
Seeing her expression he clarified "Kikyo." He said simply. The Sango nodded her head in understanding. Miroku continued with his observation. "Yes, ever since Inuyasha told us of his intentions towards her. She's been following Inuyasha around like a lost puppy." Or a in this case a deranged undead stalker, he thought as Sango stood there waiting for him to finish, but was more than disappointed when she caught sight of both Inuyasha and Kikyo making their way toward them. They both turned their back to their Hanyou friend and prepared to follow Kagome.
"Hey where are you guys going?" Inuyasha asked a grin locked across his face. As much as they were upset by Inuyasha they still wouldn't do anything to harm him. They turned toward him to answer but were interrupted by his corpse like paramour.
"It does not matter." She answered. Miroku had to catch onto Sango arms to keep her from severing the priestess mouth from her head permanently. Kikyo stood there her hands drawing closer to her bows. Sango eyes narrowed at that and she prepared to take her stance.
Inuyasha continued on as he though he hadn't even see the looks that pass through his "Girlfriend" and friend. "Kikyo was just saying that there's a jewel shard just north of the village. So let's go."
"Really then we should go get Kagome". Sango said, Miroku and Inuyasha both nodded their head in reply. As she turned to run to the village to get her, the priestess Kikyo interrupted.
"Inuyasha we have no time, jewel shard may not stay there for too long. We cannot let it slip from our grasps or worse into Naraku hands." She said softly.
Inuyasha seemed torn for a moment before he finally responded. "Your right she'll just slow us down anyway."
"What we can't just leave her she's our friend!" Sango shouted angrily, not missing the angry look Kikyo shot at her for referring to her reincarnation as a friend.
"I agree with Sango Kagome is a valuable asset to our group. She always had and always will." He said the last part whilst his eyes were locked on the cold brown of Kikyo. The monk made a point emphasize always within that comment. Clearly a sign that none Inuyasha's companions had no intention of accepting her within their group.
"Pssh Monk you're only saying that to get into Sango's pants."Inuyasha huffed his arms coming to rest within the folds of his fire rat robe.
Sango flushed in embarrassment. While Miroku stood there his mouth slightly gaping, neither denying nor accepting that what was said was indeed the truth.
The Priestess paused before replying, "I don't think that any of your friends have accepted me into the group. Perhaps it would be best…."
"No don't leave. They do like you". Inuyasha said turning to her friends. "Right?" The Hanyou asked.
Miroku and Sango looked towards each other before nodding their head in reply.
"Alright let's go." Inuyasha said excitedly.
"What about Kagome?" Sango asked. Kikyo looked even more enraged by the constant concern they showed her reincarnation.
"I'm sure she'll understand. She always does." Inuyasha shrugged. Before making his way towards Kikyo.
"Miroku this doesn't feel right leaving Kagome like this." Sango said softly.
"I know Sango but what can we do. Inuyasha won't listen to reason as long as she's here."
"Hey what's taking so long let's go?" Inuyasha yelled.
Sango and Miroku quietly made their way toward their friend in his newfound…lover.
Unbeknownst to them though they were being watched by a dark entity, more powerful than any they've ever fought awaited in the darkness for them. Kikyo stopped dead in her tracks and glance in the direction of the entity. She smiled to herself before turning to catch up with Inuyasha and company.

"Momma I'm home. Souta, Gramps." The young Miko called out as she entered her home, taking a moment to peer inside. She quickly signaled for her companion to enter.
Shippo eyes widened as he took in his new surroundings. His small eyes growing wide as he took in all the curious items laid about.
Kagome couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her lips as she stared ta Shippo awed expression of everything around him. In fact it reminded her of Inu….Yasha. At the very thought of her first love name, Kagome felt as though her hear had been ripped out and stomped on.
"Kagome-chan?" A small voice called out, breaking her from her thoughts.
She looked up at the sound of her name being called. Shippo was now staring at her with a sad expression he held out his arms for her, and before she knew it Kagome was on the ground pulling the young kit into her arms she cried softly into him and she realized that she wasn't alone in her sorrow. She pulled away to see Shippo sniffing and rubbing at his face, and the baby in her arms was also crying his big golden eyes stared at her as he sorrowfully surveyed her.
Ohhhhh…She couldn't help but to think that at least she wasn't alone in her sorrows. Shippo was lonely without InuYasha, since Kikyo joined the group InuYasha barely paid any attention to the youth. She realized that in a way Shippo viewed InuYasha as his father and her……..The young miko blushed at the thought of her and.
Sighing she looked down at the handsome face peering at her the infant seeing he was the center of her focus gave her a big toothless smile that was beautiful nonetheless. She wondered why people found baby's cute despite their lack of teeth but old people gross.
She envisioned her grandfather cooing up at her with no teeth while wearing a diaper she shuddered at the thought….ewwwww. Come to think of it he probably was wearing a diaper.
"OW!!" She said grimacing at the rough tug of her hair. It would seem her little friend was not too pleased at being ignored. Arrogant little…come to think of it this baby bared a striking resemblance to InuYasha and his older brother. Sesshoumaru. She couldn't help but to wonder if this baby was their relative.
It's not that she doubted Sesshoumaru had a love life (who wouldn't the guy was positively smoking), she just didn't believe he was capable of abandoning his child. He was somewhat honorable…she hoped. So that left InuYasha unless he had another side fling that they weren't aware of or Kikyo had pulled a medical miracle and become with child. She shuddered in disgust just even thinking of some poor baby coming through that bug infested….vagina. Man she wouldn't wish that on no one she wondered vaguely if she was even able to breastfeed.
No Kagome likened that birthing to that of a person infect with gonorrhea god only knew what kind of monstrosity that vile creature could produce.
"OW!!" The lil brat just pulled at her again sending her what she figured out to be a glare. Her eyes narrowed at that maybe Sess…..
CRASH!!!!
Kagome was startled out her reverie and so was the baby his eyes swiveling around him in search of the perpetrator. She smile at how cute he looked, she couldn't help to laugh at his swiveling motion. At that sound the baby turned to stare back at hr, his little head cocked to the side like a lil puppy. He giggle and lifted his feet up in the air. The baby face suddenly scrunched up and he released a sneeze then another….
It was then Kagome noticed that the infant was naked. She couldn't help the gasp that escaped her lips at the sight of that. The poor baby he must be so cold and here she was venting on and on about her problems.
"Achoo!" Kagome smiled at her new little friend before replying, "I'm sure momma has some baby clothing left over from Souta somewhere."
Frowning she looked around before she remembered. "Where's Shippo?" she asked whilst looking at her tiny companion. The infant merely arched a brow in confusion. Sighing she stood up to look for her….kit.

"Did you give it to him?" A male voice asked coldly.
"Of course." A female voice reply.
"And….?"
"He fell asleep right away. The marking as you describe manifested in his inner thigh".
Gold eyes narrowed at the woman in form of him. Swiftly clawed adorned hands shoot out and grasped around the young womans neck easily lifting her off the ground.
"Pray tell how you are aware of its location." He hissed in anger.
Clawing futilely at the hand around her neck the woman answered, "I checked…hi…s…..body….whilst he slept." The grip around her neck only seemed too tightened, her answer was not one the man in front her desired to hear.
"Foolish girl." He hissed imagination before flinging the wench to the ground. The woman quickly spoke im hopes limiting her companion wraith.
"I only looked to make sure that the mark was indeed in place." She lowered her head before adding "Master."
There was complete for a minute before the woman opened her mouth to ask her companion, "Are you sure your spell will hold I'm sure it wouldn't due for you if In….."
"Silence wench, the spell will hold as long as you followed my orders correctly." The man remarked shooting his companion a furious look. "The mark is there proving that my potion is working, come the next moon InuYasha will be mine".
"Fail me girl and your fate would be worst then the imprisonment you're in now." He said as he sent a cold glare at the woman who knelt before him, his eyes promised her a fate worst then death and her imprisonment in this clay body. "Succeed and their might just be reuniting of souls so to speak." He added.
"Of course, of course". She replied bowing her head in submission. "Gomen my lord."
"What of the bys companion."
"The Taijia and monk?" She questioned.
"No you wretch the fireflies and bees." He hissed out sarcastically.
Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment at her master reply, "The Taijia and monk are otherwise occupied." The woman remarked.
"And what of the others the miko and the kit?"
"Gone"
He lifted an eyebrow in question.
"Where to?" He asked.
"To her own time."
He paused comptiplating a possible reply, "Very well proceed carefully girl. Unlike your other master I do not except failure of any kind."
Nodding her head she rosed slowly before bowing her head toward the man, "Of course ShunYuan-sama." She remarked before rising to her feet.
Slowly she made her way toward the forest she stopped before returning around to face her master, "What are you plans for the Hanyou."
He stared at the girl, surprised by her question, "Don't tell me you're having second thoughts. Feeing sorry for what you have done, that would require a heart my dear last time I checked you….didn't have one." He coldly remarked.
The woman in front of him barely suppressed her rage before gifting him with an alluring smile. He wanted to roll his eyes at her actions; barely suppressing it he sent her a glare. He was not so desperate to take that…creature to his bed. Kami only knew what kind of sickness plagued her body, if you could even call it that.
"Merely asking seeing as Inuyasha once vowed to follow me to hell. Seeing as that won't be happening, I want to be assured that his fate on earth will be no less."
"Rest assured girl Inuyasha fate will be no less then he deserves."
Smiling at him once more the woman walked into the thicket and soon disappeared.
"Foolish wench when you've outlived your purpose. I will be making sure to send you to hell." The figure chuckled before he disappeared into the shadows from whence he came.

How do you like it so far? One of the reviewers asked for the title of the original. He title is the same, but you can find the story under the name if BunnyB. The original was….okay but just lack a plot and wasn't very cohesive. Anyway it took me two hours to write and go over the story and now I must spend the rest of the night writing chapter five and six of "A Hero's Dreams Has Died". So anyway review and stay tuned. I would say goodnight but I have more stories to write. Oh yes read next chapter for the teaser.
