Tears filled her eyes. Her hand still touching her lips. She turned and looked at Kikyo, who was still standing there. Kikyo gave no smile, nor frown. Kagome looked to the blowing wind and her hand left her lips "What...what does this mean" She whispered.

Her thoughts were cut short by Inuyasha, who came running to the site...he stopped when he noticed her up. Kagome looked at him, and him her. "Inuyasha!"

"Kagome!" She tried to get up and run to him but fell...but he was quickly by her side. The hugged, Inuyasha looked back at Kikyo "Who?"

"The one who brings death...brings life" Was all she said, just then kirara landing with Miroku and Sango. "Lady Kagome!" Miroku said shocked...Sango wasted no time in running to her friend...Kagome hugged them all...glad to be awake. Something seemed to be bothering Kikyo tho...and Kagome picked up on it. She pulled away from her friends and walked to Kikyo..who was looking up to the sky "Kikyo?"

"What"

"Why...why do I feel so empty?" She knew that Kikyo would understand her. Kikyos eyes met hers

"He must love you"

Kagome blinked....she knew who 'he' was "Oh" She said softly looking down....Kagome thought for a moment before turning around "You must love him" Kikyo said after her and Kagome stopped. Her friends could see the smile on her face...it was not a happy one but one of a joke

"ah" She said softly then half way turned to Kikyo...a single tear running down her face "I cant make his heart feel....something it wont" and with that....Kagome walked away...alone.

------

He stood tall in a tall tree...the wind blowing his white hair...his eyes watching...his ears hearing. After She was gone...and after Inuyasha ran after her...and even after the slayer and monk followed...did Kikyo look up to the sky....at him....at Sesshomaru. She soon left as well...leaving him to look at no one. It played in his mind that night....Kikyo telling the miko that she must love him to...her 'huff' and her saying what she said. He thought it funny that she did not yell, or say no way...or some other stupid human phrase she uses....she did none of that..instead she spoke words of dept...'I cant make his heart feel something it wont'

His heart? She didnt say him....she said his heart.

Kagome wanted to go home, But Inuyasha and her friends begged her to stay...just in till they told her of what happened in her sleep. She sat with as she was told of Koga, and warned of the Lord of the North....they didn't say much of Sesshomarus visits tho. After telling her odds and ends they ate and the all settled down....her friends thinking she would be there in the morning. But as soon as they were asleep she was gone, she wanted to go home.

Kagome could feel a storm coming.....she ran fast and hard. She missed her mom and her brother and even her crazy grandfather. Kagome made it to the well and didn't even slow down...she had almost made it to the rim of the well when she did stop.

"Leaving miko?"

Kagome looked back...at first she did not see him...but then there he was standing on a tree limb. The harsh wind blew her hair in front of her mouth. "I'm...im going home"

Lighting came...big a bright. Sesshomaru came from the tree...walked past her and to the well....he then looked down it. He then looked at her...the lighting hit again...showing her face. Their eyes locked for a moment...and then it started to sprinkle...and that's when he turned and walked away. Kagome held out her hand and was about to say stop...but then..what? So she put her hand down.

Sesshomaru stopped and looked back....but she was already gone.....

"Miko" He looked up "This Sesshomaru can not make you love me.....if you don't.....do as you please" Sesshomaru at this point didn't care...future or not. He was not a prince on a white horse...he was a demon Lord and a killer. But.....his long hate of human did not carry over to her.

Sesshomaru knew loved was real....he could not deny it...no one could, demon, human, kamis..no one....Sesshomaru was just one of those demons...who could live without it...one of those who would not go looking for it...one of those he felt they did not need it, that it was a waste...and right now...he was not about to waste his time trying to woo some small human miko. As if love would let him decide..but at the moment he didn't love her...and he knew she didn't love him. As far as he was concerned...if she did come to him...and they did somehow form a 'bond' and she was willing to bare him children...he would let it happen...it mattered not to him....the only thing that did..was the change of the future and his pups...........

...as if love would let him decide...because one thing Sesshomaru and love had in common......they both don't care, they both are going to have it their way and nothing can stop either of them.
