Second Chance

Chapter Five

Thoughts

The heavens cried in sadness as the two embraced. Their tears mingled with the rain, their sadness as tangible as the two bodies pressed against one another.

"Don't leave me..." her words were just above a whisper, yet they carried to the attentive ears of her lover. Intense eyes showed his deep sadness as she held him in her arms. Blood mingled with rain and tears, time blending together for the two of them.

"I will forever love you..." he mumbled, his voice gentle and soft as he brushed the back of his hand across her cheek. In the background, dark reds and oranges mixed together as the sun started to set.

Her hands were cold as she touched his cheek, her tears coming harder as she felt how cold it was.

"Forever and always, you hold my heart..." she whispered, the rain drowning out her words, and yet she had the feeling he had heard them.

Sapphire eyes held nothing but pain and sadness as their owner sat up in her bed. Kagome steadied her breathing after a moment, the dream imprinted in her mind. The dreams had started when she gave the Shikon No Tama to her daughter, revealing her hertiage to her.

"Get a grip girl..." she mumbled to herself as she started to get up. Four years and still no word from her husband, and time was running out. She knew she could not let Yuki stay in the Sengoku Jidai, that was a choice she had made years ago.

Shaking her head she stood up, moving to look out the window. Sighing gently, she stared out over the garden as the sun rose with all its glory. Come back to me, Sesshomaru....

Sengoku Jidai

Amber optics were trained carefully on the female hanyou who was currently talking to Kagura, Sango, and Shippou. Their owner was still apprehensive about her staying the Keade's Village, but he spoke nothing of his worries. Inuyasha knew his brother was feeling something for the new arrival, but of what he knew not.

Said taiyoukai was currently sitting at the base of a tree, his back laid against its rough bark. His thoughts were a jumble as he watched his daughter talking to the kitsune youkai, the wind sorceress, and the taijya. At the moment he knew nothing of the emotion he had caught displayed in her eyes the night before.

She is different than any other hanyou I've ever met....she has something about her that keeps her inner strength and light alive, even when she is searching for what cannot be found. he thought to himself, referring to the future him. To a youkai, five hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, aging him only one year. Yet to know he would be away from that which he loved for that long made time slow for him.

He was brought out of his musings by the melody that was Yuki's laughter. Shippou was grinning while Sango's cheeks were tainted with a dark blush. The sapphire eyes that so resemble her mothers shined as she said something he could not hear. This time it was Sango that started laughing, the blush appearing on the kitsune's cheeks. Through it all, Kagura was glancing at Yuki with a thoughtful look.

Sesshomaru knew that it would not take the wind sorceress long to figure out that he was her father, along with other smaller details. The taiyoukai's wandering mind took him back to the previous night and the conversation that was shared between him and Yuki.

"Does Kagome know you are here?" he asked, Kagome's name rolling off of his tongue like honey. Yuki just nodded at his question, thinking over her answer before she replied.

"I would think so, she always seems to know when I'm gone." she stated, smiling gently at such memories. Amber optics watched her carefully as she sat down at the base of the Goshinboku. Hestitantly he took a seat beside her, soon relaxing at her next words.

"You left Toukijin and Tenseiga for me, but Mom only things that Tenseiga is appropiate...for now anyways."

Sesshomaru chuckled silently as his daughter's words. Just like her mother, she could bring up emotions that he had fought so hard to hide under his cold exterior. Yuki just showed him a brillant smile, and after that they continued to talk late into the night.

He was pulled out of his thoughts by Yuki's voice reaching his ears. Urgentness laced with shock was easy to disconcern as he looked up, amber meeting sapphire for a brief second.

"It's okami youkai!" she called out, standing up with everyone else present. Suddenly, Inuyasha's ears twitched, a familiar scent coming to his nose as he looked straight ahead.

"It's Koga!" he shouted, and with his words it became apparent why the okami youkai was coming. Koga had sensed Yuki's arrival, and like Inuyasha, had mistaked it for Kagome.

Gwg: Yes, I'm evil and cutting it off right here. So, hope to get more reviews before I add the next chapter. I am so on a roll with this story, but anyways, review!
