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.

1990

Her scent has come into the air again carried by the gentle breezes of spring. Not being able to run like I normally would have back in the old days is really revolting. Why do humans have to walk so slow. Boarding the bus I stood waiting for the stop to be called out. After the sixth stop the bus driver finally called over the intercom.

"Next Stop Kururugi Shrine." It was time; the bus came to a screeching holt as I followed the crowd off the bus. Some event must be going on there for there to be so many people. Walking up the shrine's steps I felt my heart catch as I saw what looked like the High priest of the Shrine and his new born baby daughter. Resuming my previous composure I walked up to him and his wife.

"There's a big crowd here…" I stated a little coldly as my eyes kept averting back down to the little girl wrapped in the pink blanket. Her hazelnut eyes seemed to gleam at me while a small smile played on her little lips. This was my girl, the one I've been waiting for the last couple centuries.

"The annual doll festival. We hold it every year but this year is even better because the newest addition to our family is here with us." He told me as she noticed my glance down towards the young girl.

"Congratulations." I told him in monotone, "What did you both name her?" I found myself asking though I knew the answer already. After all when you wait for what seems like an eternity for that one person you were never able to forget about, you can't help but ask dumb questions. If it gave me more time to be that close to her then it was worth it.

"Kaname, it was my wife's idea though. Personally I was in favor of the name Utsugi, since the name hasn't been used in the family for years." He answered me with a bit of a chuckle; I didn't pay attention to his wife who might have been glaring at him for some reason. Maybe for telling a stranger so many things. Even so as I bide my farewell to the couple and the baby Kaname I vowed to myself to always stay with her just in case she needed me. Not to mention if I could catch her before Utsugi calls her back into the feudal era then maybe I can change things. Change my future and hers.
