A/N- Alright, so that last chapter didn't end up as bad as it was going to be. For some reason, I couldn't bring myself to write out that particular scene in details, and I spent four days on it, and it wasn't even that long .-. But hopefully this one will better for you all :)

-Ser

~Kagome~

She woke up slowly, feeling as if though something was dragging her constantly back into her sleeping state. Not that she minded, the more awake she became, the more her head and rest of her body began to ache. A low moan escaped her, as she attempted to move and was nothing but sore throughout her body. As she stretched a bit, she felt the prickling of claws trail along her side, sending shivers throughout her, and making her gasp. Her eyes shot open, and found that the cold dark room was no longer all that dark. She could see Inuyashas face and naked body quite clearly, must to her displeasure. Oh, how she used to dream of such an event. She used to wish that some day, he would love her enough to be with her as they were at that very moment. To see him naked, and him her. To make love for the first time... Her first time... Unknowest to her, tears began to fall from her eyes, at the realization of what more than likely occured in her slumber. Inuyasha laughed at her reaction.

"Finally catching up to reality are we?" He chuckled, grabbing her ass. She flinched away from his touch. "Don't fight me." He growled. His eyes flashing a redish-brown. Her body just shook, and she opened her mouth to speak, but found herself gaged once more.

"I couldn't have you pulling that little "Sit" stunt again, now could I?" He said, answering her unspoken curiousity. She watched with fear as he began to do things to her body, that she wished had never happened to her. Not like this. Not with him.

Sesshomaru!

~Sesshomaru~

He was pacing. Back and forth, back and forth, on and on, all but creating a trail in the wooden floor. He had been pacing for what seemed like hours on end, in the little hut that had used to belong to that old miko lady. Sango sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, her face in her hands as she thought. Miroku was leaning against the door, his blue-green eyes hazed over, as if oblivious to what was going on. Kouga sat quietly in a corner, frozen in place.

"We need to find a way." Sesshomaru insisted for what had to have been the 15th time in the past hour. He had followed their scent to the village and the well, and unable to draw to a conclusion, had found Kagomes friends. The wolf demon had told him what he had witnessed, and sent Sesshomaru spiraling downwards in a panic. He had been pacing the room ever since, the whole group hoping to think of a way to get through the well.

"Well what is it that allows Kagome and Inuyasha to go through the well? Why only them?" Kouga mumbled from where he sat, not lifting his head. Sango sighed.

"Well, the only person who was around when Kagome first arrived to our time, was Inuyasha and Kaede..." She trailed off, her voice growing thicker, and she covered her mouth with her hand to stop a sob from escaping. Miroku rushed to her side, and put a protective arm around her shoulder, looking up at Sesshomaru to explain.

"Not even three days ago, we came into this hut seeking the Priestess Kaede -Lady Kikyos younger sister. But... when we arrived... we found her collapesed on the floor, claw marks on her arms and neck. We suspect, well..." He tightened his arm around a shaking Sango, who struggled to get ahold of herself. Sesshomaru nodded.

"That explains much." He commented, as he had breifly scented the smell of death and decay on this hut before and after he had entered. Sango took a few deep breaths and nodded to her love, signifying that she was ready to continue.

"Because only Kaede and Inuyasha were around during Kagomes arrival, what we know is only stories we've been told over time. Apparently, on Kagomes 16th birthday, she went into a small hut on her land in the future, and was pulled into the well by a demon known as Mistress Centipead. Never before then had the well ever done anything of the sort. Anything at all really. But she was pulled in before the eyes of her younger brother Souta, and did not return for nearly two weeks. As it were, the demon was able to slice the Shikon no Tama from Kagomes stomach. Apparently, when Kikyos body parished with the jewel, it too reincarnated into Kagomes body, giving her the power to travel through time in the sacred well. Once the incident happened, and the jewel was shattered, Kagome decided to go home... And destiny has it... She decided to return." She sighed. "Because of her spiritual powers, we believe Kagome is able to travel from this world to ours. As to why Inuyasha is able... I think it is because he was magically sealed to a tree by Kikyo's power, and Kagome shares that power... Maybe he travels using some remains of it in his body...?" She trailed off in sentace, unsure of her theory. Miroku looked stunning. The idea had never occured to any of them. Miroku planted a kiss on her cheek.

"You're a genious!" He exclained, and Sesshomaru and Kouga couldn't help but nodding in ageement.

"We need to find another miko. One who will give me the power to go through the magical portal and save my love." Sesshomaru declaired, earning a surprised look from them all. Slowly, Sango rose from her perch on the ground, leaving Miroku arms, and walked hesitantly towards the inuyoukai. She stopped inches from him, looking up at him, emotions dancing in her big hazel eyes.

"You truely love her... don't you Sesshomaru?" She whispered. Without hesitation, he nodded, his eyes not cold, but honest, and full of warmth. A small smiled spread on Sangos face, and she reached out, surprising everyone, including Sesshomaru, by younging the great lord. She wrapped her strong slayer arms around his neck, and pulled herself up to his shoulder.

"I'm so happy to hear that. You don't know how long we've waited for her to have someone like you. A love like yours..." She whispered for only him to hear. "Love her Sesshomaru. Find her, and when you do, never let her go. She is fragile, as much as she is feirce. Never doupt her, but always, always be by her side, loyal and protective. I'm glad she has you." She hugged him for a moment more, and just as she pulled away from him, he whispered softly in her ear; "I will always hold her close to me, and never let her stray far from my arms. I intend to make her mine for eternity." He saw tears spring in her eyes, as she pulled away and smiled brightly at him.

"Thank you so much." She said. Kouga and Miroku looked utterly lost, but Sesshomaru had no doubt that Sango would fill them in later. Sesshomaru glaced out the window, and saw the sun setting, turning the blue sky, multiple shades of orange and pink.

"I fear we may not have much time." He spoke softly, fear and sadness in his voice, clear to everyone in the room.

Kagome. Love. Stay strong for me. I love you.
