Summary Sesshoumaru meets Kikyou 500 years later
Sesshoumaru barely made the Kyushu Shinkansen at Kagoshima. The doors were already closing when he had arrived with only seconds to spare. Normally he would not have cared but this train ride was too important to miss. He headed for his car when he heard a woman's voice shouting at him.
"Lord Sesshoumaru"
When Sesshoumaru turned he saw Kikyou "I thought that you were Inuyasha's guardian kami"
Kikyou waved her hand " When Inuyasha died he became the guardian kami of the Sunset Shrine in Tokyo to watch over Kagome. When the Tohkaido Shinkansen was established in 1964 . I became its guardian kami"
Sesshoumaru stirred uneasily "So you ride trains "
"Every guardian kami does their part to protect Japan" said Kikyou
Since Nagasaki Sesshoumaru had lost faith in the ability of the kami to protect Japan, but today was too important for an argument The former miko/guardian kami had been a good companion while he watched over Rin in the village,, but he had not seen her since Rin left the village after the miko Kaede diedi
They passed the seven hour trip pleasantly enough When the train stopped in Tokyo Sesshoumaru bowed to Kikyou. She returned his bow and spoke. " It was good to see you again, Lord Sesshoumaru You are always welcome on my train."
As he turned to leave he hesitated wanting to ask her the question that really was on his mind Kikyou smiled and said " The girl you will meet today at the Tokyo Orphanage is Rin's reincarnation."
Sesshoumaru could breathe again. It was good to be alive. He turned to thank Kikyou, but the guardain kami of the Shinkansen had already disappeared. It restored Sesshoumaru's faith in the kami. After all making the shinkansen run on time was a true miracle.
