Kagome was astounded with have everything in her life after that was just as it was before. The only difference was that she wasn’t agonizing over betrayal nor Inuyasha anymore. Shippou came and went as before. When Sesshomaru visited her she smiled as he thought that she was hurt by his brother. She couldn’t wait to make things different with him.
When he came to get her before they joined up with the others, she couldn’t wait for the time alone she would spend with him the second time around.
She turned to face the Inu demon that approached her. He stopped only a few paces from her. “It is time.”
Kagome rose with a smile, and Sesshomaru hesitated. Kagome just walked past him to where Rin, and Jaken were waiting with Ah-Un.
**
Finally they caught up with the others, and this time Kagome knew that Sesshomaru had made it take longer than it needed to. Just as before Inuyasha leapt to his feet, and transformed the fang he carried. Kagome sat back and let things take their natural course.
They went to their own camp, and it was then that Sango rushed over.
Sango stared at Kagome a long time before she asked, “Is it really you?” With a nod from Kagome, Sango crushed her into her arms. “I thought that we might not get you back! How did you get free?” She released Kagome, and looked into her eyes. She was struck by the sorrow there.
Kagome couldn’t help but remember the previous life she had lead, but things were different now right? Kagome smiled at Sango, and wondered how much she had affected the future she knew already. Could she tell Sango? Would she understand? Kagome wasn’t sure.
“It’s a long story better suited for another time.” Kagome told her the same answer as before. She wasn’t sure if she was ready yet to go through it all or if Sango would be ready for it either.
Sango nodded in understanding, and then turned to Sesshomaru. “Lord Sesshomaru, would I be allowed to sleep in your camp tonight?”
Sesshomaru gave a nod. Sango ran back to Inuyasha’s camp, gathered her things. Kagome watched, and wondered if she could do this without letting the old sorrow seep in again. How was she supposed to live knowing what happened before while everyone else was oblivious to what her plight had been. It may not have happened this time, but it had before, and she still remembered the pain of betrayal.
**
She woke, and looked to Sesshomaru. She knew what he was going to say.
“The dead miko has left her camp.” As he stated gazed into the woods.
Kagome looked to where she knew Kikyou was, but this time she did not feel the compulsion to follow her.
**
“Girl I wish to speak with you.”
Kagome pointedly ignored her for the second time in her memory. She was getting tired already of playing the same game. It was like watching a movie you know by heart again, but you never did like the movie. It was tedious and boring. She hated it, but she didn’t know how much she could deviate.
Kikyou clenched her teeth. She hated how the bitch thought she was her better. She would teach her soon enough. “I am speaking to you, girl.” She ground out, trying to keep her voice even.
Kagome sighed, and stood looking Kikyou in the eyes. Loud enough for all to hear she asked, “I have given you the remainder of your soul as you wanted, you cannot claim that I retain any of it, so what else would you ask of me?”
Kikyou was surprised, and glanced over at Inuyasha as well as Sango. She recovered her composure quickly. “I wish to know how it is that you still are living and walking if I have our soul.” Kikyou was nearly seething for having to do this in front of everyone.
Kagome smiled. “Your soul, Kikyou, the soul is yours as it always was.” She saw the anger it ignited in Kikyou’s eyes because she didn’t add the ‘sama’ she was sure she deserved.
Kikyou was so angry that the missed the implications of what Kagome had just said, but she could tell that Miroku and Sango hadn’t. Not even Inuyasha had missed it.
Inuyasha met her eyes as Kikyou stormed away, and Kagome held them with resolve, but knew her gaze was colder than Sesshomaru’s.
**
Kagome was mildly surprised when the event of the next couple days varied from her original memories of them. She wandered into the wood to think, and felt Inuyasha following. She knew the confrontation was coming, but wasn’t looking forward to it. ‘At least this time around I didn’t need to prove I am myself to him.’ But she knew there would still be plenty of questions.
Inuyasha dropped out of the tree, and approached her. “Kagome?” She didn’t react, but he knew she was listening; it was at least a start. “Can we talk?”
Kagome couldn’t help the sigh that escaped her. She turned to Inuyasha. “About what Inuyasha?” She wasn’t sure just how different this encounter would be.
“I’d like to know what happened.” His ears were plastered to his head as the thought of that night.
Kagome shook her head. “You know what happened. I saw it in your eyes the other day. Kikyou took her soul from me.” There was no anger this time just sadness.
“Then how are you still alive?” He asked softly.
“You’ve already guessed the answer to that; I don’t need to spell it out.” Kagome paused. “Go back to the others Inuyasha.”
Inuyasha could hear the weariness in her voice like she was years older than she was. What had happened to make the Kagome he knew like this? He wanted to stay, and maybe comfort her like he had in the past, but he felt it might be unwise. After considerable hesitation he followed her words.
Kagome hung her head after he left. Why did it have to be so complicated? Yes at this point she had been on the verge of hating Inuyasha, but then they made up, and he became pack. Now what was he? He had left her as before, but did it change things that Kikyou hadn’t actually hurt her this time? Did it make the deed anymore forgivable that she had consented knowing the other outcome? She didn’t know with how the lines were beginning to blur.
“Tell me Sesshomaru-sama, how it is that even this time around that you are always here with me when I need your wisdom?” Kagome asked the ground.
Sesshomaru was not at all surprised that she knew he was there, instead he focused on her words. “What do you mean ‘this time around’?”
Kagome turned to Sesshomaru with a faint smile on her lips. “Forgive my words they were wrong.”
“No, you lie.”
Kagome smiled. “Always could see through my lies too.” She looked away from him. “You know I am from the future. What you don’t know is that I have already lived this life once. I lived a long time, and at the end… at the end I must have made a wish, and now I am living it again.”
“How long did you live?” Sesshomaru asked.
Kagome smiled and chuckled. “I lived over five hundred years.” She looked at him to gage his reaction to her next words. “Many of them were with you.” Sesshomaru nodded. “When was it you decided to mate me?”
“Shortly after I found you away from my brother.”
“My changed scent?”
Sesshomaru nodded. “Very astute Kagome.”
Kagome sat down, and shortly after Sesshomaru joined her. “You don’t seem fazed by what I am telling you.”
“You are not deceiving this Sesshomaru, and this Sesshomaru has come to expect the unexpected from a miko from the future.” He told her simply. “What wish did you make?”
Kagome frowned. “I’m not sure, but I think I wished I had never been put on the altar.” Kagome sighed. “The first time around Kikyou put me on an altar in a temple to take her soul from me. I was unable to bare you a child to full term because of it.”
Sesshomaru let out a low growl, and Kagome chuckled. “This time I made sure she didn’t put me on it.” Kagome shivered at the feeling of claws running down her back. “This time I should be able to bear you a child.”
“Why would you go to such lengths to give this Sesshomaru a child?”
“Because you deserve one, and I want to give it to you.” There was more to it than that. She didn’t want to feel like she was failing him by not giving him a child. She wanted to be the mate she thought he deserved.
Sesshomaru pulled back from Kagome. Her scent had changed to one of pain and self doubt, and he didn’t like it. “Kagome, are you changing your destiny for something so small?”
“It isn’t small!” Kagome’s anger rose.
“This Sesshomaru believes in that time as well as this one this Sesshomaru, would feel the same. This Sesshomaru would like a child, several, yes, but the life of my mate means more than any child. Having many long years with my mate would mean more than a child. Now please answer this Sesshomaru’s question.”
Kagome calmed down slightly, and then thought of her life. There was one thing that stood distinctly apart in her life which she may not be able to do this time. She had freed the trapped souls. Could she still do that now? She would have to leave Naraku alive again. She had vowed to kill him, but would it matter? Without the need to have a child, would she still have the motivation to free them? She and her mate had died in her quest. She couldn’t do the same if there were children involved. She couldn’t leave them without parents.
She couldn’t free the souls.
“I-” How did she answer that? How did she tell him that she hadn’t even thought about her destiny? Naraku was just the beginning. Those souls were the real purpose behind everything that had happened weren’t they? How could she say that having Sesshomaru’s children was more important than the trapped souls of hundreds? It wasn’t, and now she had to find a way to fix everything.
Sesshomaru rose silently as Kagome’s first tear fell. He left her alone in her misery.
