Summary: Kagome searches for a way to get Sesshoumaru and her family out of Nagasaki before August 9,1945.
She smiled as she gazed out over the harbor. Her husband's shipbuilding empire stretched out before her as far as the eye could see. She had been so proud of his accomplishments.
Since the Mejii Restoration, he had done a wonderful job of adapting to the modern world. He had left the Feudal World of the Western Shiro behind and became part of the zaibatsu which controlled modern Japan. She had never told him of her future. He had never asked anything of her than her love.
She was torn. The government had rejected the Potsdam Declaration. She knew that Nagasaki's days were numbered. Her knowledge could save them. But would he listen. Would he believe her. He always thought himself invincible.
Maybe there was a way. A way to get out of town. A way to leave without revealing the future. A way out that did not require him to back down from a challenge.
"Sesshoumaru, we have not been to see your mother in long time. Let's take the entire family and spend a few weeks there. It would all of us good to get away for a while. She has not seen the children in so long she probably will not even recognize them."
"Hn." was Sesshoumaru's only reply. He wondered what she was up to. Kagome always got her way in the end so he might as well go along with whatever she had in mind.
