Authoer Note: This is a Kaname and Sesshomaru pairing for the game Secret of the cursed mask/犬夜叉 呪詛の仮面 alright. ^^ They are my favorite pairing the game and I know this story is a bit weird but I just started writing it with the thought of the Time Traveler's wife in mind kind of thing except he's lived through all those years waiting for Kaname to be born into the world so when she goes into the feudal era with Utsugi's shikigami, he can convince her to stay there with him forever by finding the shards of the shikon jewel and in the end making a wish upon the jewel to keep her there and maybe even turn himself mortal for her. :O

Disclaimer: I do not own anything D; Rumiko Takahashi owns all inu characters including Kaname.

Mid 1900's

Being a demon lord in modern day Japan isn't an easy task. I've seen centuries of history and many of my own kind slaughtered by man. Many that share my secret are either with me or against me. Since the fall of the demon Naraku back in the 12th century of Japan's history, though the days of the demons were of the darker ages and are mostly not written down in history books or even remember much. If anything most people find them to be nothing but mere myths and legends. If that's the case for you then I guess you could say I'm a living legend. Especially since it was myself and a mere human girl from another time that had defeated Naraku.

As for not being discovered, that part was easy. As the years rolled by I did my best to transition my looks to blend in with the current time era and society. Though it was at first something that I really did not approve of, but I only have one goal in my mind. And until I find her again I'm not going to let myself die off with the rest of my kind. After losing Rin, a young human girl who I had saved from death, had passed on after old age, I felt empty with nothing to protect. My loyal servant Jaken had been some of the first demons to be slaughtered simply because they couldn't not blend in with human kind in any way.

Though there are stories that some evolved into smaller creatures like frogs and insects. However by doing that they lost their voice and in some cases their ability to process thoughts. To blend in I had to cut my silver hair into a modern day hair style. I learned to cover up my demon markings on my face with what the humans called cover up. As for making long term companions, I tend to skip over that unless they are another demon. At least that is how I've been staying un detected. Being a demon lord in this day and age is nothing compared to the thrill it used to be when you slashed the humans throats and destroyed their villages. There's nothing thrilling in this modern world at all. By the way, I am the demon lord Sesshomaru, the western lands used to be my domain.

I'd like to be able to someone all that but if I did that then it could be the end of me. At least with the governments patrol units that go out in secret to collect at random people how have been suspected of being a demon. Which is why when I find her the Shikigami girl, I'm planning to tell her something that I never got the chance to say all those years ago and maybe this time around I'll be able to change the past and keep her with me. Maybe this time…
