'I wonder what was in that scroll?' thought Kagome looking how the rest of the scroll was turned into nothing by Sesshoumaru's poison. She was working with the daiyoukai for the few months, but he never was that angered after reading anything.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked. He looked up at her with his stoic expression back on it's place.

"This Sesshoumaru's mother would come for a visit in a one moon circle. The shiro needs to be prepared for it" The miko frowned at the weakly concealed anger in his voice. Wasn't mothers visit something to look forward to? She would give everything just to see her mother again.

"You do not appear to be happy Sesshoumaru-sama." she commented.

"We're not on.. the best terms." the daiyoukai admitted not sure why he was explaining himself, he was the lord here, but something made him feel obligate to say that.

Kagome was silent for a moment before she looked at him with sad eyes that caught him of guard. He had never seen her unhappy before.

"You should cherish your family members Sesshoumaru-sama, no matter how tough it can be, because once they're gone there is no replacement for them and you would never be able to forgive yourself that-" The woman whispered in a trembling voice.

In her mind was her own family-her mother, brother and grandfather. Sure, she was happy here in the Feudal Era, but the dull ache in her heart was omnipresent, always reminding her about those she left in the future. She missed them all dearly.

Her eyes started to burn with upcoming tears and Kagome quickly rose from her place.

"Excuse me." she said, quickly walking from the study.

Sesshoumaru watched her silently, her voice ringing in his ears.

'..there is no replacement for them..'

AN: If you like it, then please drop me some review. Pretty please!
