This was the last straw. A girl can only take so much heartbreak... Kagome Higurashi, age twenty one, fell down a time portal disguised as an old well at the naïve age of fifteen, a portal that would make her life unreal. Last year she successfully completed her task in this other time beyond the well thanks to the help of Lord Sesshomaru, who had joined their group a month before her nineteenth birthday. The group had latched onto a trail Naraku had left and it led them straight to him. Although, by the time everyone had reached the foul bastard, he had successfully lured them into his trap. Everyone in the mismatched group save Kagome and Sesshomaru had passed out within ten feet of the feudal mansion that Naraku had made his keep.

Kagome had begun seriously training her miko abilities shortly after her sixteenth birthday and was eventually able to surpass her past incarnation in power, eventually regaining the rest of her soul, as well as fashioning one for Kikyo out of raw emotions, the once dead priestess's memories and raw unbridled energy from the earth herself. Thus gaining another strong ally and quieting the feud between the two mikos.

With time, Kagome's love for Inuyasha had changed into something akin to the love of a sibling in constant trouble. Kikyo and Inuyasha picked their relationship back up, and Miroku and Sango eventually got married. Through working with her powers, Kagome's spirit ability surpassed the legendary Midoriko's power many times over, and Kagome became as feared as the Western Lord himself, whom had also grown in strength, surpassing his Father and earning the title of Daiyoukai, much higher in station than his previous status of Taiyoukai. She was eventually summoned by a council of all the ruling youkai lords and human lords and they each presented her with a small gift, as well as appointing her as the High Priestess.

High Priestess of Japan and Taiyoukai of the Western Lands fought side by side and rid the world of the disease named Naraku. In the end, Kagome had latched herself onto Sesshomaru's back, placing her hands on his forearms and channeling her purification through him as he used Tokijin's ultimate attack. The battle was done, and as it turned out, Inuyasha, Kikyo, Miroku and Sango had all been killed by Kagura while they were occupied with Naraku. A week later, news reached the miko, taiyoukai, kitsune and fire neko that Kouga had been killed, but took Kagura down with him in his last stand to avenge his lost pack, and protect his current one.

With the now whole and purified Shikon No Tama back in her possession, Kagome could think of only one thing to do, and hope that it worked, the only thing she feared now, was being separated from her friends. So, biting down her doubt, Kagome pulled out her dagger and plunged it into her left hip, right below the pelvic bone, directly through the old scar left when the jewel emerged from her body. She threw the blade to Sesshomaru, who caught it and gave her an encouraging nod. Pulling the jewel off her neck, she heard the chain break and watched as the rosary beads fell from it. Casting one brief glance at Sesshomaru again, she tucked the Jewel back inside her body and watched in barely concealed awe and fascination as the wound emitted a pink glow, and her skin was healed before her eyes. She felt the Jewel warm slightly and give a slight vibration under her skin and then go completely quiet, her miko blood putting the jewel in a deep sleep where there were no evil energies or malice were present to call to it's power, unless removed from her body once more.

Around a month later, she went through the well for her annual visit to her family. She had decided to make her life in the Feudal era at the age of seventeen. It was all she knew anymore, it was where she truly belonged. When the visit was over a week later, the well would not let her return to the other side.

She had sat at the bottom of that well for an entire twenty four hours, just staring at the aged wood in front of her. She tried it three more times, and the reaction was exactly the same each time. Eventually, the only way her family could get her out and something to eat and drink was to wait until she passed out from lack of nutrition, and have Souta carry his sister back into the shrine. After that, she had bought an apartment in the middle of Tokyo and moved on with her life. That was a year ago...

Kagome forcefully slammed her head on the door of the bathroom stall to chase the thoughts and memories from her mind...even if she had lost the only people that knew her now, her adoptive son and only friend, she had to move on with her life. This is what she told herself every night before bed, and every morning when she woke up.

A bitter laugh escaped her lips and she opened the stall, walking back out into the crowd of the small club, her heels inaudibly clicking against the hardwood floors as the music pounded through the cramped bar and straight to her bones.

She sat down at the bar and ordered a bottle of wine, she went through four bottles as she watched the crowd clear out of the club, it was four a.m. now, and she knew she was drunk off her ass.

Making her way to the middle of the dance floor as the music would still pound on for another hour she lost herself in the beat and darkness of the place.

She moved her hips, guiding them back and forth with her hands and sliding her left hand up her stomach, across the valley between her breasts, the red silk of her short tight dress feeling smoother than water under her fingertips with the heightened state of her senses now. As she reached her neck she could feel another body moving behind hers, a very tell tale masculine body. Bending her knees slightly she lost herself in the feeling, she had danced with so many males, but it had never felt this right, as if their bodies were made to fit with each other she gave over her sanity as she dropped her hands to the silk covered thighs of the male behind her as his hands took place of her own.

One large hand rested on her stomach, guiding her body with his, molding their movements together and holding her close as she grasped his hips, ensuring that he was not a fantasy. The other hand glided across her ribs and teased at the side of her left breast, softly stroking the underside with his thumb then traveling further, letting his fingertips glide across the side and over her collar bone. When he reached the creamy expanse of her neck, she gave over to him and closed her eyes, throwing her head back onto his shoulder as he bent his neck to splay hot breaths over the cool feminine skin.

As he placed his lips to the juncture of her shoulder, he spun her around to face him, an unseen smirk lighting his features as her forehead dropped to his chest and she moved her lithe frame against his.

Then he held her hips and body still, reaching one hand up to tilt her face to look up into his.

"Open your eyes, Kagome," the familiar smooth baritone rang in her ears and she instantly did, sapphire fire meeting molten golden depths.

"Sesshomaru? How'd you get here? I missed you so much, so very, very much...I love you Sessh---" Kagome trailed off as the alcohol took its toll on her and she passed completely out.

"I'm here, and I still love you too. That's all that matters, my beautiful. That's all that really matters," was his smooth reply, as he lifted her form into his arms and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead.
