Title : Time Heals All

Chapter : 1

Author : Celestial Demoness

Okay this is a revised version of Time Heals All. Longer chapters, more sense to it and a whole lot more. I will update it once every week for nine weeks since I have nine edited chapters. I shall add a new one every week or two depending on how much time I have to write up a chapter. Well onto the story.

She was tired of it all, she had had another fight with her boyfriend Inuyasha. It had been going on for the past two and a half years. She knew that he was seeing her high school friend, Kikyo. Her mind travelled back to the first time she had found out about it.

Flashback (Two years ago)

Inuyasha pulled up to the huge mansions gates. The gates opened allowing them access to the mansion. He had driven through and proceeded on until he was parked in front of the big house, which belonged to his half brother, Sesshomaru. Why Inuyasha would be leaving her here, she had no clue.

She knew though, that Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru didn't like each other that much. Thus, she questioned herself as to why Inuyasha would be leaving her here. All she knew was that he said something about dropping her off so she could visit Rin, while he went to Miroku's for the night.

She had her doubts about being there with Sesshoumaru. She didn't mind staying at Sesshoumaru's. She had done so, many times but, that was when she had wanted to and it would only be for the day, or afternoon. Never had she once stayed the night with the hyper little adopted child Sesshoumaru was raising.

"I'll be back in the morning," came Inuyasha's voice from within the car.

Kagome looked at the estate and turned around. She grabbed her bag and shut the car door. Before she could turn around and tell him that she had changed her mind Inuyasha had already driven off. With a sigh she turned back around and made her way up the stairs to knock on the door. An old butler opened the door and greeted her, he was kind enough but she still didn't want to be here.

"Good evening, Miss Kagome," said the old butler.

"Good evening, Jaken," replied Kagome as she entered the mansion and looked around at the greatness of the mansion.

It hadn't been a minute when the little hyper six year old flung herself at Kagome. She gave an 'oof!' sound and looked down at the little girl with a smile on her face. Wrapping her arms around the girl's small body, she kissed her on the top of the forehead.

"Kagome! I am happy that you came to visit me!" said the little girl with a big smile on her face.

"I'm glad I came to visit you as well, Rin. How have you been?" asked Kagome.

"I'm good! Oh and I picked you some flowers from the garden!" Rin said as she jumped up and down.

Kagome laughed as she watched the energetic girl run off to get the flowers, probably from her room. As she waited she continued to look around at the huge house, she could never get used to how big it was. It really didn't matter how many times she came here.

The rest of the evening went well. After supper the two girls put together a puzzle, it was after that when Sesshoumaru finally told Rin that she had to go to bed. After hugging Sesshoumaru the little girl ran off out of the room. It was a minute later before she returned and gave Kagome a hug as well as apologising about not hugging her the first time.

Kagome had then been settled into her room by a maid. She had tossed and turned almost half the night before she finally gave up and looked at the clock which read, four o'clock a.m in the morning. With a sigh she walked over to her bag and pulled out some of her clothes and started to change.

She had managed to sneak by unnoticed, avoiding making noise if possible. She had reached the basement and was about to turn the knob of the door when a voice spoke from behind her.

"This Sesshoumaru, will not let you walk all the way home by yourself."

Sesshoumaru then grabbed his jacket and keys and opened the door. He hadn't even given Kagome a chance to protest as he merely gave her a looked that meant no arguing. He let her go out first before he too exited the house, locking the door behind him. The two got into the car and drove away from the estate towards Kagome's apartment.

The drive was long and silent, it seemed to take forever to reach their destination. She was nervous around him, he was held in high regards in many places and she just felt so much of a lesser person around him. At last, Sesshoumaru pulled into the parking lot and exited his car to help Kagome out.

"Would you like to come in for a cup of tea before you leave?" asked Kagome as she got out of the car.

Sesshoumaru looked at her and after a few minutes nodded. He then grabbed her bag and followed her into the building, silent as ever. Kagome was standing in front of her apartment door when she heard Inuyasha's voice from within the room.

With a puzzled look on her face she continued on searching for the key to her apartment. When she finally unlocked it, see was greeted with the sight of Inuyasha and Kikyo in the kitchen kissing. She dropped her keys and looked on at the sight before her. Tears stung at her eyes immediately, but she really didn't know what to do...or what to say at all. Her heart was broken and she was confused and hurt.

"Kagome, what the hell are you doing here!? I told you to stay at Sesshoumaru's!" yelled Inuyasha.

"I just, wanted to come home," whispered Kagome, trying her best to keep her voice from shaking. "But I guess I'll just leave and send Sango to get my stuff next week."

End of flashback

Kagome knew that after Inuyasha had apologized and begged her to forgive him, he was still seeing Kikyo. Why she stayed with Inuyasha she had no clue. She just invited all the pain into her life and yet, leaving him still caused her so much pain.

She took out her cell phone and called Sesshoumaru. He had become a good friend of hers since the night she had found Inuyasha and Kikyo. He had followed her out of the building and made sure she had been okay, late into the morning he had stayed with her.

She hadn't known why he did that for he was usually such a cold person. His heart was surrounded by an ice sheild and no one but the little girl Rin had been able to melt it. Though what Rin had done was such a small part, but in truth it had sent him on his way to unthawing that cold side of him.

"Hello?" came the voice of the little girl Rin.

"Hi, Rin it's Kagome. Is Sesshoumaru there?" asked Kagome.

"Hold on I will call him."

Kagome smiled at the sound of the little girl's voice. She was seven, soon to be eight and Kagome had watched the little girl grow. Well not really, Sesshoumaru had only brought the girl home when she was five, not so long ago. Although no one had been able to figure out why Sesshoumaru had brought home the little girl from the adoption agency place.

"Hello? Kagome what is it?" came the worried voice of Sesshoumaru.

"It's nothing. I just felt like talking to someone is all," answered Kagome.

"Kagome, I know you well enough that you phone call to me isn't just to talk."

"I can't take it anymore," came Kagome's voice in a whisper. "I've had enough. I just can't take it, Sesshoumaru. I love him but he just does't see that."

"Kagome, where are you?" asked Sesshoumaru. Hearing the girl say she loved that damn half brother of his teared him up. How could she not see that he was slowly but surely falling in love with her. It frustrated him for he had been the one to question such things, he had been the one to tell Inuyasha never to get involved with the opposite sex.

"I'm at the park that's about seven blocks away from my apartment," answered Kagome, bringing him out of his thoughts.

"I will be right there," said Sesshoumaru as he hung up the phone.

Kagome put her cell phone back into her pocket and sat on the bench. The night was cool and the sky clear, not a cloud to be seen. She pulled her knees up to her chest, resting her head on them, it was then that she started to cry.

Hearing someone take a seat beside her, she didn't have to look up to know it was Sesshoumaru. She wasn't worried about someone robbing her or raping her, she just didn't care anymore. But deep down she was glad that it was Sesshoumaru who was now sitting at her side.

"Kagome," said Sesshoumaru quietly. "Don't waste your tears on him. He will never know how much he is missing until it is too late."

Kagome looked up at him and threw herself at him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and started crying into his chest, letting all her pain out. Sesshoumaru's arms wrapped around her and he held her within his embrace. Keeping her from all the wrath of the world if only for a few moments.

He didn't know why his brother treated this angel the way he did. He made her life miserable and shattered her heart day after day till she finally didn't want to go through with it anymore. That was when she would call him and he would be at her side as soon as he could.

At these times he had wanted to admit the feelings he had developed for her over the past two years. But instead he let them build within him. He didn't want to cause her more pain than she was already going through. Another reason was that he didn't want to admit that to anyone but himself, he considered love a weakness. So again he just sat there holding the crying girl within his arms. Letting her cry to her hearts desire.

Okay, this is an edited version of Time Heals All. Same plot and almost the same chapters, although I did add more detail to it all. After reading the chapters over I saw how sloppy my writing was and decided to at least attempt to fix it. I know the grammar and spelling may not be the greatest but I am lacking a beta reader. Anyway...

Until next time,
