Prologue

You came here to read a story and I happen to be the one to give it to you. Congratulations, I will tell you my story, a fantasy that some would call a nightmare. But apparently you are not that some. Welcome to the Midnight Breeze a story of vampires, demons, and mystical creatures that only could be thought of in your imagination, but alas this story is Kagome's life and my world. Her story, the story of her in a fractured fairytale.

Here is a story that does not take in a land far away sheltered by some mystical forest many ages ago, no this story takes place here and now, on the streets of Tokyo, Japan .On second thought it does, though this time around thing happen a little differently than what was to be expected. A story about a girl from the right side of the streets, welcomed into a world she never thought she would experience.

******

Kagome Higurashi that was her name along time ago she fell into a well that was a gateway into the feudal era of and became a part of a life she never thought she would ever experience. Shattering the Shikon Jewel and taking her place with four other people and one faithful companion on a journey that changed her live forever. Fixing her mistake and falling in love along the way. But one thing went wrong...her prince in shining armor fell in love with a clay pot named Kikyo that he swore he left in his past, but in the long run fell plotted both women he claimed to love against each other. Only to betray them both in a quest for power; the quest to become a full fledged demon.

InuYasha planned for everything, all ends tied up but the one thing he never thought could happen did. Kikyo killed herself in order to join with Kagome and beat Naraku and InuYasha in one attempt to save what was left of the feudal era and was glorious in their battle. Severely wounded and almost completely depleted of spiritual power Kagome made a wish for everyone to have a chance at normal and peaceful lives. So it was done. Sango and Miroku had their families and eventually created one of their own. Kikyo was saved from Naraku's deceit and InuYasha never had to betray her in this reality. Shippo's parents never died and lived to enjoy his child hood like every child should be able to and Naraku never existed to begin with. So the Feudal Era was recorded as a time of peace and prosperity for over 350 years. No one would remember anything except her, Shippo, Kirara and Sesshomaru; why no one really understood as to why but they just did.

As Kagome headed back to the well one last time Sesshomaru had gifted her the only way he knew how. He taught her the Warschak fighting style, the same one that he was taught hundreds of years before. It took her seven months to learn and in tat seven months they fell in love with each other but never even thought twice about telling the other. Even Rin and Kirara noticed but never pushed it father than the doubts of Sesshomaru and Kagome being too stupid and stubborn to think and explore the improbable or the exact thing that they thought to be impossible.

The last afternoon that Sesshomaru and Kagome were together he gave her a chest filled with priceless artifacts, kimonos, jewels, scrolls, and a case at the bottom filled with a letter of his affection and weapons custom made for Totosai himself as a favor to Sesshomaru. The weapons consisted of a bow and arrows, her own katana and one pair of twin daggers. His gifts to her were his way of always being in her mind even after all the time in the world could pass he would find his way to her in time one day.

Once Kagome left to her own world she made her best attempts to live a normal life, she even moved in with Hojo as a room mate when she started college. Majoring in archeology, the studies of the Japanese Feudal Era, and Japanese mythology and folklore it went without saying that she had the time of her life reliving the brighter times of her life. Even though she never went to parties and did not drink in general but spent most of her time caring for the family shrine with Souta her mother and grandfather.

By the time that she got her masters' degree for each major Kagome spent her graduation night celebrating with friends and family probably the only thing that her friends could convince her to do. Kagome went to an after party with Hojo who still had a growing infatuation with her, but brushed it off as a nothing until that night.

Most likely the only person that Kagome trusted betrayed her in the worst way possible. Hojo slipped the sleeper drug into one the first alcoholic drink that ever passed her lips, the White Russian. It went without saying that the next morning she woke up without her virginity and banged up really bad the only thing that she could be thankful was that he used protection. Hojo's rape led to his suicide only 4 months later with blood on the walls of his room saying that he was sorry. According to police reports based on a journal the Hojo kept he was ashamed of what he did to Kagome, the woman he claimed to love. His desire to get revenge for Kagome's rape drove him insane to the extent that he grew to hate himself which led to his suicide. Kagome on the other hand went into a deep depression but lived on hopes that the days to come would lead to better times. According to her own point of view she never really did come out of the depression because Kagome never went back to the way she was.

Kagome had left the shrine in an attempt to patch up what was left of her life. Kagome chose to leave the family shrine and change her last name in order to keep people from being able to recognize her name anywhere it could have been familiar to anyone who had known her. She chose to lead a double live similar to the lives that she had always read about in books only different in her own way. Over time Kagome Sugume had finally created her own place in society. Kagome had become head curator and archeologist of Tokyo Museum of Historical Folklore and Mythology. Kagome's second life consisted of her vigilance of the night protecting innocent people from pain, lies, and betrayal.

******

It was another boring night for Kagome bored out of her natural mind aimlessly wandering the streets, though really she did have a destination in mind. Kagome hungered for a kill traveling back alleys and the murky shadows of a city that was all too familiar to her would surely get her wish granted. It was only going to be a matter of time until some sad creep thought they could make her into some statistic, not again. And then it happened; she could feel some one watching her every move trailing her as she moved into the darker streets until it was just her and her prey falling into her elaborate trap. All that Kagome had to do now was wait, for that one cat call that would finalize everything for her.

"Hey, mami where are you going so fast, I want to play a little game!"

Running up to me I could smell the alcohol radiating off of him. Though I could tell that he was not drunk and as the moments of what was left of his life ticked away. He was one the smarter kill that I would have; it seemed to me that he had a 6inch hunter's knife nudging her side. Though the real question was if he knew how to use it. Kagome's question was answered when he huskily whispered into her ear.

"See isn't that better? I want you to tell me you name, as for me I am Billy Blades serial rapist and the knife that I have in my hand right now is inches from your heart, lungs and all of that other good stuff, so I suggest you don't scream cause I am a fucking surgeon with this knife and I will cut out your vocal cords now be a good girl, do as I say and I might show you a good time. So your name please."

Noting that her new toy Billy was a lecturing prick with rancid breath she calmly replied "I am Kagome Sugume at your service, and I promise not to scream, but I don't know about you though"

Quickly pushing Kagome on to the backstreet concrete he attempted to gain the upper hand, but as he looked the ground expecting his supposed victim recoiled in front of him he saw her standing no less than two feet away from him with a look in her eyes that would make the devil himself quiver.

Slowly drawing something from inside her jacket being none other than her only means of defense, her twin daggers. Billy Blades found out that Kagome was not the victim for today and slowly backed away making away in a mad dash toward the open street. Too bad Kagome had other things in mind as she swiftly hurled her dagger at the base of his spinal cord where his neck and his back met; paralyzing him from the neck down, or so she thought. Walking over to her victim she began to speak to him choosing her words carefully before Billy would lose consciousness.

"I suppose you want to know why I did not kill you Billy my boy, I think it would be better for you to live knowing that you can't victimize women, but the irony for you will be that you were the victim of a woman. So now you will wake up every morning for the rest of your live knowing that. And on top of that the rest of the world will know who you really are Billy."

Rasping his words it was only a matter of time before he lost consciousness, Kagome knew the pain he was in, only that she was more experienced in it.

"You my girl forget one thing Billy Blades is not just a serial rapist, but I am also Detective Billy Qiuan at your service it is convenient how no cop was able to track me down but they will get...."

Kagome was getting bored with his words, along with the fact that his accusations were getting to her head. Knocking him unconscious was not really fair but Billy failed to notice. Right now she had other things to worry about, like her place in the judicial system, more or less where her and the protect and serve slogan came to mind. Granted she was a vigilante but she had no intention of getting caught for murder, knocking him unconscious made her feel a lot better. Right now she needed a drink to calm her nerves. Backtracking into the crowded streets she headed back to her custom made Kawasaki bike. Just before she got to her bike police sirens started going off which meant one of three things.

'One, someone saw him try to rape me and saw me attack or two, someone just came at the wrong time, or three least favorite Billy has a nice time schedule going on to know exactly when the police come.'

Running down the possibilities Kagome realized that none off them favored her current situation at all. Though while she was thinking she failed to realize that she already was at her bike and only minutes from reaching Shadow, the hide out of a lifetime and possible one of the few places no one could ever find her.

As she walked Shadow she felt an immediate calm as she entered, this bar to her was a home away from home, but better; this one served alcohol all night. Kagome did not have to worry about anyone pulling a move on her here, because only big time guys even got into the bar meaning that the big time guys knew who not to mess with.

Heading toward the seat that was her own for the last five years she noticed that some new guy was in her seat. Even though she really did not care about material things this was just getting to her, one annoying thing following another what would be next. Making her way to her booth she reminded her self of the rules of the bar. No cops. No hookers. No fighting because Shadow is neutral territory for thugs, good guys, and everything in between. Taking a seat directly across the encroaching guest, so from Kagome's point of view it was only fair see him off...

"Bye" She replied in a bored tone trying her best not to become aggravated at the stranger.

"Well... hello to you too" Replying in a mocking tone

"Do you know that you are no where near funny sitting here like you know me buddy."

"Why do you find me funny Kagome?...I am surprised that you don't remember me, but I see that your more favorable qualities have not changed all this time, I would of been disappointed if you had though."

As the waitress finally came by she placed a White Russian on the table and a Scorpion then walked away. Taking their respective drinks they continued their conversation which happened to be going no where rather quickly. Though on some level they both wanted the conversation.

"So...since you know me by my name I am assuming one of two things. One you are a stalker or two you know me from my past and want to do or ask me for something right. Either way it would be useful for me to get you name so I can laugh at you by you name when, or if I have to kick your butt."

"So Kagome you really haven't changed much, though it took me a while to find you. Are you aware that you changed your name, abandoned your old life and live two lives and forgot your past, only to for me to find you all these years later. I am really surprised at you."

Kagome was genuinely surprised and even more upset than she was when she got into the bar. It had been close to five years that she changed her identity and another two years to establish he place in the world only for it all to crumble in front of her now, all thanks to this guy who had yet to have a name.

"Ok, so you are a stalker...or worse, you don't even want to know how hard I have worked to erase my past from my present and then you pop up and only kami knows how many people trailed you here and are now trailing your tracks to my past. All thanks to an unnamed genius!"

"And what makes you think I had went through all that trouble to find you, all I said was that you were a hard person to find, everything else I assumed on my own Kagome."

Cutting the stranger off Kagome proceeded to blow a gasket. "Don't act like you know me, you are still the unnamed stalker acting like you have any idea that you know who I am! You on the on the other hand are just some guy with a sick fetish in some sick hope to get laid....but it is not happening! Kami you are a lot more irritating Sesshomaru!"

By this time Kagome was shouting in a healthy rage with all of the Shadow patrons staring at her, she almost failed to notice that the music was turned down as well. Just in time the waitress came around with another round of White Russians and accompanying them were another round of Scorpions too. Sitting back down into her seat she took one glass and drank it whole. Only to hear Sesshomaru as she place the glass back down.

"Bingo, Kagome took you long enough." Even after all of these years mocking her every word and watching the sparks fly it never to amuse him to no bounds.

Finally getting her ground she realized that it really was Sesshomaru and after all that time he was still alive, and as if almost on cue his facial features immerged into the light of the bar, taking her breath away because after all those years he had not aged a day, Kagome on the other hand developed into a woman from the form that head her teenaged years. Sesshomaru on the other hand had just sat there, smug as usual mocking her still with his eyes as he finished what was left of his Scorpion.

Finally gaining her composure back she replied with a practiced stoic mask.

"It is nice to see you too Sesshomaru. After all these years, I did not think you would have lived for so long, and still waste your time finding me."

"Well Kagome like I said you are not an easy person to keep up with, even though this Sesshomaru is dying to find out there are other things that we have to discuss...important things that can't really wait for another time, so lets go this Sesshomaru does not have time to waste"

Partially stunned by Sesshomaru's sudden rush to leave Shadow she followed him to a limo waiting for him just outside of the bar.

So I see that modernization has not changed the size of Sesshomaru's pockets...wait a sec what about my bike.

"Yo, Sesshomaru what about my bike there is no way I am leaving my Kawasaki here."

"What about your bike? It will be fine by morning, and if it is damaged this Sesshomaru will give you a new one, happy? Now let's go."

"I am not leaving my bike here and that is final Sesshomaru! I can almost guarantee that I will not have this bike in the morning and this bike is one of a kind"

"You don't get it miko this Sesshomaru does not care lets go"

"So I am back to Miko now that is just uncalled for Fluffy but fine, I will go but if my bike is stolen you are paying for it"

"This Sesshomaru thought that he had made it clear 500 years ago that you were not to call me Fluffy"

"Fine...Fluffy, but you can't call me Miko, wench, nigen, or any other names...I am Ka-go-me but if you really have a problem you can call me Lady Sugume. Now that this is all cleared up you why did you want to find me in the first place?"

As Kagome and Sesshomaru drove off from Shadow she began to wonder about the times that she and Sesshomaru shared together, also wondering if he had ever felt the same way. After a while Kagome began to nod off eventually falling into a deep sleep. Not too soon later Sesshomaru fell asleep as well and with a little father to still go till they reached their destination he realized that this encounter was still going to lead into a lot more than he had originally planned in the first place.

Author's Note: God, I love these little note things where I can say what I want...heee hee...LOL but really Um all I have to say is that this is my third fic...but they are all in different places and on top of that I love to write and all that good stuff um any suggestions and flames are welcome (though I don't like flames that much lol) But all the same I do have one request...overlook grammatical errors...that is my weakest point in writing...and anything that you want to see in the story just ask because if I like it I will see to it that any suggestions that follow the story in my head gets into the story line cause I get inspiration as fast a I lose it...Oh by the way me writing this fic was to get my mind off things cause I am excited to go on my annual family vacation (too bad I can't spend it at my computer as usual) So in conclusion I will not be able to updated for at least 2 weeks then I will respond to reviews comments and or questions
