A/N: Alrighty then. For the three people who have reviewed and said that they didn't like Sess/Kag fics. Well actually this is for the last one I recieved. *holds up a peice of parchment.* It reads thus. :Reviewed by: ookami_rocks On: January 24,2004 13:12 EST Comment/Review: ok this is why you need to state pairings at the beginning of the story. ive been following ur story from the beginning and i really liked it, ur style of wrighting is very good but i am not a sess/kag fan. i really wish you had not wasted my time by not stating the pairing.: Kay this is what I have to say about that. Kay about not stating the parrings. I wanted to see if someone could figure it out. I though with all the clues in the story that it was quite obvious. The first person to guess correctly was ho-hum. They didn't want it to be a sess/kag. At least they guessed. Also thanks for likeing my story and how i write. Sorry that you are not a Sess/kag fan, and i am glad a wasted your time by NOT stating the paring. Also I am very sorry that i iced our fav hanyou. My muse for this fic, who shall remain nameless *cough* Ryuu *Cough* Dosn't like Inu's and personally he hates them.

Ryuu: *comes running by and runs straight into the wall*

Me: Actually it's either that or he's gotten into some of my other muses, who shall remain nameless, *cough* Jay *cough* Silent Bob *cough* Stash. um either that or he's cowering in fear of Alucard. Any way. This is going to be a list chapter by chapter of all the little hints i gave yah that tells you that it's Sess.

Lez: *comes walking in* Which way did Ryuu go?

Me: Wall.

Lez: Kay.

Jay: Holy fuck lunchbox did you see him go. I never saw a fuckin stoner run that fuckin fast.

Kagome: Never give Youkai pot.

Lez: Sorry I though it wouldn't do that to him.

Riju: Sis yah know how it affects mom.

Lez: What ever. *taps Ryuu on the head* I think he's dead.

Will: As the old wise woman once said. Let the sleeping dog lie.

Tai: Sw33t.

Ni: t0ta11y.

Ko/Ku: Huh?

Me: Any way here is the list. I have to help them wake up Ryuu. *turns and grabs Jay by his jacket.* I tol yah not ta give i'm any o yur stuff. you fuckin hoser.

Jay: Hey bitch let go.

Bob: *covers his eyes*

Me: Grrr... *punches Jay* forget you.

~THE LIST~

Chapter 1

Kagome looked up at her golden-eyed, white-haired lover

Me: Kay Sessy has Golden eyes and White hair.

Trio: What about Inu.

Me: Yeah well so does Inu. But this was the first clue.

She then looked back up into her lover's golden eyes. The two deep golden pools seemed to radiate sadness that only she could see or sense at that moment.

Me: Once again same as befor Golden eyes. But it seems like every body in the group can sense when Inu-chan is sad. Well since Sess is the Ice Prince I figured that only his lover would be able to read his feelings.

Sesshomaru follow your heart

Me: Here she's basicly telling Sesshoumaru to do what he thinks is right. To do what his heart tell him. Incedentally enough he chooses to wait 500+ years to be runited with her.

"My love don't forget me cause I'll never forget you." A tear started rolling down her face. The pain was almost unbearable. "I love you..." The tear that had been rolling down her face splashed into the dirt where she had been standing. Kagome was gone and would never return again. Amongst their grief Mirkou, Sango, Shippou, and Inu Yasha didn't notice Sesshomaru turn around and leave. A single tear trailing down his cheek.

Me: Now in this little passage the connection between Kagome and Sess is the tear. Kagome is basicly talking to Sess in this but as her tear hit the soil every one relizes that she is gone. Now with Sess the tear is baiscly showing that he is crying for her. He turns away and walks off because he doesn't want any of the others to see him so weak, especally his brother.

Trio: Sum it up. The tear is their connection. Like the part of their souls that have been ripped away.

Chapter 2

Me: Alright I'll sum up the whole thing about Kagome wanting to go back at the beginning. She's just lost her love. Her heart and soul have been ripped asunder and she would rather of stayed in the fuedal era then go back to the present time.

'What did that dog-eared dumb ass do to yah?'

Me: This is Ryuu's thoughts and one of the few clues. The only person from the Shingoku jidai that he ever met was Inu Yasha so naturally he thinks that it was Inu Yasha who caused Kagome all this greif. This hint actually works backwards. Invert who Ryuu thought did this and you would have your answer.

At that moment the wind shifted and Ryuu smelled something odd radiating from Kagome. It smelled like Kagome had mated with a dog demon but Ryuu's sense of smell was nowhere in the range of a dog demons so he was unable to tell the difference between a hanyou and a full blooded youkai. Which ever it was Kagome had mated with it, and that was part of the heart break Ryuu felt.

Me: Right in this Ryuu's hieghtend sense of smell allows him to smell that Kagome has mated with an inu demon but his sense of smell is not powerful enough to tell if it was hanyou or youkai. So basicly he thanks that it's a hanyou.

Trio: Dumb dragon

Lez: More like stoned dragon. He's still out.

Chapter 3

Glancing to each other the two dog-eared youkai nodded and walked down the hallway to a lushly furnished room with a sign on the door reading `Maru's Office'.

Me: Kay this is simple. The two dog-eared youkai is refering straight to Inu Yasha. These are Tai and Ni InuYasha's sons. How could Sesshoumaru have a child if Kagome had left and came to the feudal era. Little inside note. Kagome and Sess mated only a week before the final battle and she was on birth control so their. sorry i didn't state that in chapter 1. Now next thing is the office. Maru's Office. Well this is Sessy's office for when he is basicly run out of his house by Tai, Ni, and the rest of Kouga's pack.

Trio: Party animals.

Lez: Totally.

Ni pushed the button switching the phone over to speaker, "Hey Kit, remember when you told us about our dad's old crush."

A rather loud sleepy yawn answered through the phone, "Kagome?"

Tai nodded, "Yeah that was her name, Kagome."

Me: Her the 'Dip twins' are talkin to Shippou and clue one is Dad's old crush. See Inu Yasha did have a crush on Kagome but he was a little to late on telling her that he liked her. By the time he told her Kagome had already fell in love with Sess. So Inu ends up finding love somewhere else.

Trio: Only to die afterwords.

Ni slapped his forehead, "You dumb kitsune git, and you told us several years ago after we found that letter that Uncle Maru wrote to tell you if we ever see her."

Me: Here Ni is refering to the love letter that Sess wrote to Kagome. Sess had intended to give her the letter the day after he mated with her. Incidentally he forgot all about it. Later Tai and Ni find it, after getting in trouble and being told to clean the library top to bottom, they show it to Shippou and ask. Shippou tells them about what happened during the few months leading up to the final battle.

Tai managed to save his poor abused head and ran off throwing selective curses over his shoulder thus enraging Ni even more. Kit listened through the phone as the chaos ensued, "Together they kinda sound like their dad."

Me: Here is another hint that tells you that it's not Inu Yasha but Sess. Basicly Shippou is thinking of when Kagome sat Inu Yasha and he cursed or when Shippou would annoy Inu Yasha, and Inu would chase him.

Chapter 4

Me: None

Chapter 5

Me: Alright um no hints but i'm going to explain something about why Kagome turned the well house into her own mini shrine. Um in the Shinto religon when you die small shrines are made for the deceased and well Kagome thought of all of her friends as family so it was only natural that she makes a little shrine to commerate them. Oddly enough she doesn't relize that she met the founders of the shrine and her ancestors.

Trio: Sango and Miroku got it on.

Me: Yeah okay any way. So that's that with chapter 5

Chapter 6

Me: Kay the end of the chapter is basicly refering back to Chapter 3. Shippou's apprence has shown Kagome, along with Ginta and Hakaku, that maybe just maybe Sess might still alive.

Ryuu: *looking at his hands* Woe it's like they can touch every thing else except for themselves. *his finger tips touch* Woe.

Lez: Damn he's stone.

Jay: Fuck an that stuff was my cheap stash.

Riju: It don't take much for a Youkai.

Chapter 7

"Your explanation will come in due time, but as to why I'm here I have something for you. A letter in fact."

Me: refrence to the letter from chapter 3.

Looking it over she noticed that around the middle of it was an old white and gold strip of fine silk ribbon, or at least back when the ribbon had been put around the scroll it had been white, gold, and very expensive. Now it was a dingy creamish yellow and just as brittle as the paper. Where the two ends of the ribbon meet it was sealed with a wax stamp bearing the Western Lords device. She looked down at the beautiful gold wax stamp not wanting to break to seal to read the letter even though it was addressed to her on the outside.

Me: Kay refrences chocked full here. um the colors represent what i think the clan colors would be for Sess.

Trio: kinda like the Tartins of Scotland or the silks of a jockey.

Me: I figured that Sess would only use the finest of silk for this important letter. Also another big give away is the sigel. Back in Medevil Europe they would use wax seals to tell who the letter was from. These stamps were also seen in Japan and China. They usually bore either a monogram or a symbol of some sort. So the stamp that Sess uses bears his family crest/device. Kagome as his mate would reconize the device and would know who it was from. Oh and the wax was gold or at lest had gold particals in it showing how rich the lord was.

To my Raven Haired Love,

It is said that in an InuYoukai's life several lovers may be found but only one shall work. In my life I have encountered several females that wanted me for a mate, BUT they only wanted me for my lands and the title of Lady of the West. Several of those females I turned down, and only a few earned the title of lover's. But I assure you that even though I fooled around I never allowed them to go any further then innocent petting. You were my one and only. You were the first of those females I let into my bed, and into my heart. My love, no my koshii, if we shall ever part I do not know what I will do without you. Even though, I am a noble youkai and promised that I shall never mate until I have gone through the mating ceremony, with you I felt as if that ceremony could wait. Something inside of me was pushing to claim you as mine and to mate with you. Koshii you were my first and my last as far as I'm concerned we are mates. If this letter shall ever reach you I want you to always know you are loved in every way, and no matter where you are or where I am you will always remain with me in my heart.

Endearingly,

Your White Haired Love

P.S. I will find you one day I promise you that.

Me: Alright the letter it'self. Um number one the letter says InuYoukai is that to much of a give away. number two would be that the person said that the other lovers only wanted him for his lands and the title that they would gain. Kagome didn't want that she just wanted someone who loved her for who she was. Number 3 is that he calls himself a noble youaki. Once again i am refering to a full blood not half. Now at the end he calles himself a White Haired Love once again coupled with the above I am telling you it's Sesshoumaru not Inu Yasha.

Chapter 8

Me: Now um when Shippou is refering to Him he is refering to Sess. Um that's about it for this chapter. By now I would have thought that you guys would have figured it out from the letter.

Chapter 9

Me: Alright on Kagome's car. The reson i chose the Ford Echo is that I've rode in one and they are great. At least it was better then my peice of crap Mercury Grand Merquese. Fuckin Sled. Any way.

Apparently this was a love letter from some lord or something or other, but why the hell did it say Taiyoukai on it and why the hell was it 500 years old. Kagome wasn't a demon. Will took a quick sniff of Kagome and finally realized that she had a rather dim mating scent on her, and apparently the one she had mated with had been a dog demon.

Me: Kay, key word here LORD. Also key into Taiyoukai. Then here you go. Will smelled the ageing mating scent on Kagome. Since she hadn't mated with Sess for a few years the scent has dimed some. It's still their though. Just not that noticable. Now remember when Ryuu smelled it i said that he couldn't tell the difference between youakai and Hanyou. Well Will can. Last two words their Dog Demon not Dog hanyou. Kay um that's about it. Oh and Suikoden 3 rocks.

Chapter 10

Me: Not much here.

Trio: How could their be it was only three sentences long.

Ryuu: Ow my head.

Lez: Ooh he's crashin.

Chapter 11

Instead of a normal mansion it was replaced with a massive Japanese Castle that was easily larger then that of the emperors castle.

Me: Hint it said Castle. I don't think Inu Yasha would like a castle.

Trio: Yeah he'd prolly live in a hole in a hill.

At the top of the massive mahogany doorframe stood a crescent moon the likes of which adorned Sesshomaru's forehead. The huge golden oak doors were carved all over with a scene depicting an Inu youkai in true form standing in the middle of a battle field. The doors were so large that Kagome swore that Sesshomaru, in true form, could have walked through the huge doors easily. Looking at the massive doors brought back so many memories that she had thought buried once the Bone Eaters Well quit working.

Me: The crecent moon was that not obvious enough.

Trio: Apparently not.

Me: Kay the scene on the door. It's actualy a depiction of Sesshoumaru and Inu Yasha's father in true form. Also the size of the doors is a dead give away. Inu Yasha wouldn't need doors that are large enough for an Inu demon in true form to walk through. Also I said Sesshoumaru's name. The doors had brought back the memories of when she had come to the castle and relized that she fell in love with the Taiyoukai.

Kagome stood there and watched as the short old man quickly transformed into Jaken. Sitting Jaken down Shippou snatched the cane away, making it turn into the staff of skulls as he did so, with witch he bashed Jaken on the head and then knocked him away like a golf ball on the green.

Me: Would Inu Yasha bother keeping that annoying toad around. nuff said.

At that moment a loud roar came from the right hall rattling the walls, "KIT STOP HARRASING MY RETAINER!!!" Looking toward the right hallway Kagome saw a large white horse sized dog, with a concealing rosary about it's neck, come out of one of the rooms and came walking regally down the hall towards them.

Me: Key word. RETAINER. Myoga was Inu Yasha retainer while Jaken is Sesshoumaru's. Hehehe funny insider deal I didn't put in their. When Sess was raising Ni and Tai he made Jaken baby sit them and finally made Jaken their retainer. hehehehe. the twins tortured him so much he's scared for life. Then also another obvious hint was the Large Horse Sized White Dog. It's Sess but he has learned how to control his size. An that about it. Well at least those that are noticeable. Um Well read this and i think that you will understand it. Now i have to give Ryuu the 'talk' about pot. Oh Ryuu.

Trio: See yah later.
