Her Hearts Desire by Kristy T
Leaving Her Heart Behind
A/N: This is my first fic in a longggggg time so please be gentle with me and a big thanks to Alanna-Sama, my beta reader.
Looking across the field at how the children have grown and how everything has changed, I realize how much I am going to miss this place, the fresh air, the freedom of not being confined to modern life and the constant traveling along the country side. When I was pulled down the well 3 years ago I had no idea that this is where I would end up. I shattered the Shikon no Tama, was kidnapped by Koga and Naraku, faced the band of seven, survived Lord Popsicle and through it all managed to fall in love and not to mention I graduated from High School, with honors. With how much time I have spent in the Sengoku Jidai I have no idea how in the world I did it but I did and I've been accepted into Tokyo University and have to say good-bye to my family here. Inuyasha is gone and I'm OK with that, I miss him terribly and I hope to see him someday although it won't really be him, reincarnation and all that.
"Sango-chan!" I yell as I see her flying towards me on Kirara.
"Kagome-chan, how are you? I am so glad I made it in time." Sango says dismounting off Kirara.
"Where's Miroku-kun?" I ask noticing that he is missing.
"Walking home, his cursed hand grabbed another woman's ass again. I am just so tired of him doing this, I want him to respect me but he grabs any woman's ass he can get his hands on." Sango replies peeved.
"When is he ever going to learn?" I ask laughing.
"Never apparently, I am about to just walk away and find someone else that can respect me." Sango replies sadly.
Miroku showed up about 2 hours before sunset looking rather humble and worn.
"My dearest Sango, my humblest apologies for my poor behavior. You are my one and only and I love you." Miroku said kneeling before her.
"Get up houshi." Sango says with tears in her eyes. "I love you too but this has to stop, I feel so disrespected when you do this, cursed hand or not, I will not continue to put up with this." She says hugging him to her.
Suddenly I feel an aura of immense power coming towards us. It's the Daiyokai Sesshomaru, ever since the final battle when he rescued me from Naraku I have felt a connection to him. I might even go to say that I think that I am in love with him, but I know in my heart that he can't love me, a ningen miko, but who knows maybe 500 years from now he can.
Sesshomaru was patrolling his boarders thinking about how he has changed over the last 3 years. The first change he notices was that he actually was relieved when his brother was released from his enchanted sleep and instead of killing him, he trained him without Inuyasha ever finding out. The second was that his distain for all things human was gone. His daughter was human and he was damn proud of her. The third change was harder to accept because it was a matter of the heart. He was in love but not with a demoness but a human, his brothers miko to be exact, however it could never be because of court politics and the fact she was in love with Inuyasha and he couldn't betray his memory like that. Suddenly he felt her aura, he had left his borders in his thoughts and found himself near the bone eaters well, As he stands there watching her, the wind catches her scent and begins blowing her beautiful hair around her. It takes all of his control once her enticing scent of honeysuckel and sakura bloosoms hits him. Breaking the tree line his miko spots him.
"Sesshomaru-sama, how may we help you?" His miko greets him with a mysterious look in her eye, almost a look of longing in her eyes.
"This Sesshomaru only wished to inquire your well being miko." Sesshomaru asked stoically.
"I am fine Sesshomaru-sama, however I do have something to ask of you?" Kagome replies nervously.
"What is it you wish to ask miko?" Sesshomaru replies raising an eyebrow.
"When Shippo returns from fox school and Miroku and Sango cannot care for him, would you please care for him in my stead?" Kagome asks even more nervous then before.
"Can you not care for your Kit yourself miko?" Sesshomaru replies.
"No my lord I cannot, the well will pull me back to my time at Sunset." Kagome relies sadly. Sesshomaru was shocked, he didn't know what to say to that.
Standing there looking at the well Kagome found herself very upset at leaving this place, her son, her brother and sister and then there is Lord Popscicle. Sunset was mere moments away and so Kagome was saying her goodbyes. When she reached Sesshomaru she handed him a letter and before he knew what he was doing he was hugging her to him with his nose buried in the crook of her neck inhaling her scent and committing it to memory so that he would never forget it.
"I'll miss you Kagome, things won't be the same without you." Sesshomaru whispered to her.
"Then you will survive the next 500 years to see me again, leave Japan in 1941 and don't come back until 1950, there will be a war during that time and many lives will be lost. I don't want to loose you too." Kagome said with tears in her eyes as she pulled away, she turns and walks to the well and as she jumps in she whispers so low that Sesshomaru barely heard it, "I love you Sesshomaru, Wait for me?"
As she disappears Sesshomaru is stunned but replies to her question even though she can't hear it, "I will wait until the end of time my Koishii." As he turns to walk away with tears in his eyes and a hole in his heart.
