Kagome sighed and looked up from the countless papers littering her desk, and gazed about the study. Sesshomaru's study. A shelf filled with countless books, and old scrolls lined the wall opposite the fire place next to the corner windows, which were paned in with colored glass from Europe, designs of the white dog demon, and the jewel giving off a pink, radiant, light from above it. The desk at which she sat, a lovely cherry wood, as were the frames of the many paintings in the entire castle, the cold stone floor was covered with European rugs. Leather chairs and a soft couch were placed around the fire place, close enough for warmth, but far enough away to not be hot. Kagome made sure that all she wanted done happened before the seclusion began happening in 1616.

Kagome looked at the two seats in-front of the desk she was sitting at, both leather bound chairs, high backed, and soft to sit in. She couldn't count the times she sat in them across from Sesshomaru talking about various things happening, and different laws, or just papers he was signing. Was he training her for what she was doing now?

 

It was now 1732, there were many droughts around her, but she had built up her supplies, and was right at the ocean front, she and her land owners had nothing to fear, except the many hungry travelers that grew in number everyday, but no matter what, she would never turn someone away from her door, and she refused to eat better then her people.

 

A knock at the door brought Kagome from her thoughts.

 

“Enter.”

 

A young girl, about 15 Kagome guessed, stepped into the room and bowed deeply. “A visitor Kagome-sama, shall I show him in, or away?”

 

“In please Alexiel-chan.”

 

Alexiel nodded and showed a young man into the room, bowed again and left.

 

“Do you know how long it took me to find one of their children? A very long time, and you're the one I found, Setsuna-kun, I can call you that can't I?”

 

The young man known as Setsuna bowed “You may call me whatever you wish Kagome-sama.”

 

“Call me Aunt Kagome, please. Give me that little bit of happiness. Come, sit down.” Kagome motioned toward the leather chairs in-front of the fire, standing up and taking one herself.

 

“Why should I have the honor of calling my lady such? I look older then you do, you appear 21 summers old, and I am 24 summers old, and I know of many stories about you from long ago my lady. How is this possible?”

 

Kagome smiled at him, he looked so much like Miroku and Sango, purple eyes, wide and innocent, like Miroku's, yet wise and calculating, as Sango's were. He walked in much the same way that Miroku did in his youth, but the air about his was that of Sango's strong will and stubbornness, he was built much like Miroku, but there was something that she couldn't place, most likely from his parents. It had been, after all, a few centuries since Miroku and Sango had lived.

 

“You look so much like them you know? Your ancestors, Sango and Miroku that is.”

 

“How do you….”

 

“I'm going to tell you a story Setsuna-kun, one you must pass on to your heir, and only your heir…..”

 

222222222222222222

 

Kagome looked to the young fox demon, only about 200 years old if she could guess. “You know nothing kit. My appearance is quite deceiving.”

 

“What is the meaning of this!?”

 

Kagome looked to see just who would speak on her defense. He was tall, bronze skin shown from beneath his armor and upon his face. His eyes a stunning purple; hair black as ink. His body was built strong, yet he was not overly large. He looked slightly younger then Sesshomaru, still holding onto the youthful air about him.

 

“General Tsuzuki!” The demons surrounding Kagome and her ground stood at attention as Tsuzuki approached.

 

“You've gotten taller then what I remember, My Lady.” Tsuzuki bowed deeply at the waist.

 

“It's been about 250 years since you last saw me Tsuzuki. I haven't changed physically. You look a little older.”

 

Tsuzuki stood straight again before her. “As you said, My Lady, it has been 250 years.”

Turning to face the soldiers Tsuzuki spoke in harsher tone. “Have you no respect?! This is our Lady!”

 

Said soldiers quickly dropped their spears, backed a foot away and bowed deeply. Kagome sighed and walked forward hugging Tsuzuki. “It's so good to see you old friend.”

 

“As you, My Lady.” Releasing Kagome, Tsuzuki looked her up and down thoughtfully. “Your kimono doesn't look quite right, was it the journey here, My Lady?”

 

“Not really……I should have gotten ready before I left my mothers, and I have cloths on under this. I wasn't exactly sure what we would run into on the way here, so I wanted to make sure that I was prepared.”

 

“That is understandable My Lady. I will have servants show you to your rooms, after you freshen up I assume you would like to eat as well, yes?”

 

“Actually Tsuzuki, I was wanting to speak with Sesshomaru.”

 

“I'm sorry My Lady, but Lord Sesshomaru is away in the neighboring lands for this next week. We weren't expecting you and your guests for another week, at least.”

 

Kagome looked puzzled and asked, “Isn't the ball in a few days though?”

 

“No, Lady Kagome, it's in two weeks.”

22222222222222

 

Kagome began to take off the final layers of her kimono with the help of a few servants and after dismissing them both she turned to Hiei. “I just don't understand it. I understand that the passage of time is different here then in the mortal realm, but two mortal days can't be two weeks here.”

 

Hiei looked at her from his spot on the bed meditating. “It's not. One day mortal realm is equal to about 3 days demon realm.”

 

Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Kagome looked at the mirror across the room. “Someone wanted us to come early. Something is going to happen, Hiei. But what?”

22222222222

 

The northern lord was perplexed as to why he had come. At this moment Sesshomaru was riding his cloud back to his territory. Something was going on and he intended to find out just what that was.

 

He had yet to send a servant inviting Kagome and her `friends' to the annual ball, not to mention countless others; but the message from the Northern Lord seemed so urgent, that it required his attention immediately.

 

It would be another day before he arrived at his castle, he trusted his son and Shippo to make sure things ran smoothly in his absence, but he was still not fond of the idea that this was all a `wild goose chase' as Kagome once said.

2222222222222

 

Tachi yawned and looked up from the papers he was suppose to be proofreading for his father. Looking up he turned to Shippo, only to find him fast asleep on top of his work. Growling some Tachi picked up his rather heavy paper weight, throwing it heatedly at Shippo's head.

 

“What the fuck was that for!?”

 

“You fell asleep again!”

 

“That's no reason to try and kill me!”

 

Tachi stood up from his desk, slamming his fists to the desktop, Shippo following quickly after; both growling venomously at the other.

2222222222

 

“Hey…did you hear that?” Kagome looked to Hiei questioningly.

 

Hiei merely looked back and they both got up from the bed. As they walked down the winding halls the sounds got louder and more aggressive.

 

“Young masters! Please! Guests have arrived! Please!”

 

The scene that Hiei and Kagome arrived on was much unexpected. Shippo and Tachi were in the floor wrestling, knocking over stands, planters, book shelves, and even a desk was on its side. Jaken, much older looking, was doing his best to convince them to stop.

 

“Young masters! Plea-”

 

Kagome cleared her throat, and raised an eyebrow. “Just how old are you two again? 15?”

 

Tachi and Shippo both stopped, Tachi pulling Shippo's hair, and Shippo biting Tachi's ear. In less then a blink of an eye, both were standing before her, backs straight, faces giving an apologetic look.

 

Kagome shook her head. “Will you two ever grow up?” Laughing some, Kagome sighed. “Before any questions, clean up Sesshomaru's study, or it will be both your heads and I wont speak at either funeral.” Nodding to Jaken, Kagome turned, giving a look to Hiei they began to walk around and know their surroundings.

2222222222

 

Kagome sat down and looked to Hiei. His face was rather stock, straight as always. Kagome looked into his eyes. They burned with such passion, and they looked at her that way. Only one other man ever looked at her like he was now. `Greg…'

 

He was in her past, `Hiei is my present….and my future.' Kagome smiled at herself. She was finally letting go of him, she could never forget him, nor the pain that first moment she saw his body in the street, but she could let him go.

 

Before she knew it, Hiei was sitting beside her on the couch, his fingers gently pulling her face to look at his own.

 

“What troubles you Koi?”

 

Kagome shook her head and smiled at him. “It's nothing. I'm just thinking of the past is all.”

 

“Well this is now, and we're together. You will tell me what troubles you so one day Koi.”

 

Kagome nodded and leaned up pressing her lips upon his firmly.

A/N: So I've been dead for a while…things wouldn't come to mind….and then school started back up and if you're a SR then you know what I mean. I've been putting parts of Kagome's past at the beginning of the chapters. If you want to know about what she was doing in a certain era then send me info about said era and I'll do something for you!

 

I hope to get another chapter out soon. Christmas break is coming up and I have no life outside of just about anything so I should get at least one done. Who knows; I may throw in a random Christmas cast party for this story. It's an idea right?

 

Please comment with something you would like to see happen and it may end up in the story!

 

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PATIENT WITH ME! Things happen that I cannot control and it prevents me from doing much!
