Sesshoumaru's mother ran her hand through her silver locks. It seemed troubles were piling before the young people, and of course, she was the only one who could do something about this. But first things first, she had to know it was worth such an effort.

"Well then miko, if my son wasn't your 'boss', would you be interested in him?" Kagome gaped at the woman her mouth open, her skin changing its color from pink to white. The woman waited patiently.

"I-I don't… um… not that I'm… but… I don't see reason of that question," the miko finally managed, looking everywhere but on the youkai woman next to her. The lady flipped her fan open, moving it lazily back and forth.

"Hnn. What holds you back? Could that be my late husband's second son?" Kagome blinked.

"Inuyasha? He's my friend, but nothing more," she replied honestly.

"Would you want it to be some other way?"

"Once upon a time, I think I did. I even came back to this time to be with him, but… three years apart is quite a long time. I have changed, but my memory about him did not. When we met, finally I thought everything would be like before, but I wasn't the same Kagome and he wasn't the same Inuyasha. After some time we had to admit, we drifted more apart trough that time that we would wish. We could be friends."

The Western Lady listened the story with masked interest. Everything was now clear for her as daylight. 'It seems human nature is not so different from youkai.'

"Very well, little miko, for now I'll let you go. I have information I needed." Kagome bowed, quickly leaving to her work.

The woman waited few seconds. She had to get her son. Now.

AN: And now everyone knows what happened between Inuyasha and Kagome.
