in a small town that was separated from a bigger city, the streets were filled with citizens as they made their way from point 'a' to point 'b' before the sky darkened completely. among the citizens walking on the streets, there was petite female with long black hair, that when hit correctly with the sun, would have blue highlights streaked through it. she wore casual clothing, and her gray-blue eyes flashed curiously as she made her way through the crowded streets. her eyes darting over each building as she passed it. after a few moments of walking, a small smile came to her lips as she headed towards one building. as she reached the entrance, she opened the heavy looking doors with little effort.

kagome sighed in relief as she walked into the darkened building. blinking a few times for her eyes to adjust to the change in lighting, she looked around the area curiously. she had been to this building a few times before, when they had different schedules during the day this is where they would meet up at night before going home together. looking down at her watch she sighed lightly. i still have forty five minutes before either of them will be here. she thought as she nibbled softly on her bottom lip.
well, standing in the entry way would not do her any good. nodding softly to her own thoughts, she straightened up before walking towards the back of the building. as she made her way further into the building, she cringed as the smell of smoke and liquor met her senses. the loud music certainly wasn't pleasant either, but this building was the best place to meet up, even if it was not usually their normal 'cup of tea' so to speak.
smiling at the bartender as she finally reached the bar, she took a seat on one of the stools. "ello' dear, what can i get for you this evening?" the bartender questioned, as he made his way in front of her.
kagome offered him another smile, "the same as last time" she stated softly. even with the loud music, she knew the bartender would be able to hear her order, for like most of the people in this building, he wasn't human. the bartender smiled and nodded before going off the get her drink. kagome sighed softly as she looked down at her hands, she had been in this town now for almost a year and she was still getting use to some of the changes.
while this new town reminded her a lot of her modern home, it was also very, very different. almost like an alternate universe. shaking her head to mentally clear her thoughts, she looked up as the small glass was placed in front of her. she nodded in thanks to the bartender and wrapped her hands around the glass. tipping her head back she took a quick shot of the liquid and shivered as it left a hot trail down her throat.
she usually didn't drink, however when she did she liked the strong stuff. not those 'girly' drinks that most of her high school friends would probably drink by now. she smiled bitterly at that thought, she had not seen any of her friends from her time, nor her family, for a long time now.
sighing softly, she put her drink down onto the hard surface of the counter and looked curiously around the room. her eyes studied each person as her gaze passed by them, she mentally wondered if she should play a game of whether they were humans or not. she snorted in amusement at that thought, while it would be entertaining it would also be rather tiring.
her gaze stopped on a couple in the dark corner of the room, she frowned as she noticed what exactly they were doing. it looks like they are going to suck off the others face she thought with a light snicker. she shivered slightly and looked back towards her drink. she remembered when she had been younger, about fifteen to sixteen she had been so anxious to experience kissing and going further with the one she loved. her frown deepened at the thought, when it had finally happened it had been so terrible that she had become disgusted with the idea of 'kissing' or 'making out' in general.
she sighed softly as she thought about it. it had been inuyasha, he was her first in kissing and going further. at first, she had thought it was bad because it was new, that it would get better. but she had been wrong, oh so wrong. shaking her head she thought back to when and how it had exactly happened.
it had been after the last fight for the jewel, and the end of naraku. after the jewel had been completed, she had decided to stay behind with inuyasha and the others, for multiple reasons. the main one being, when the jewel had been completed it had gone back into her body, giving her immortality so she could forever guard it. along with that reason was also her new 'family' she had made in this time. so with one last farewell to her blood family and a note to her friends she was back in the past and at her new home. she had been excited for multiple reasons, but the main had been that she and inuyasha had finally started 'dating', and it was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to her. she had also become the temporary village miko until the other was trained completely.
for the first year she had been staying in the past. it had been wonderful. she and inuyasha had started to get along better and got closer with each passing day. after a year though, they began to get more intimate with one another. when they had kissed, she had felt no 'shock of electricity' like her friends had said they felt. as they progressed in their intimate relationship, she felt more and more disappointed because things had not turned out how she had wanted.
when they 'made out' she felt disgusted with it. the feeling of another tongue in her mouth was in no way appealing to her. after that, she had begun to think that something was wrong with her. the further they progressed, the more she pulled back. it felt like any act of intimacy had to be forced, which made it a chore more than an enjoyment. after a while, she had begun to feel as though she was lying to herself and inuyasha, she knew that didn't feel right. and she didn't want to hold inuyasha back, even if he seemed to enjoy it.
so one day, she had pulled him aside and told him it would probably be better if they just remained friends. though he had been hurt at first, he said he understood. now that she thought back to it, her attraction and feeling of 'love' for inuyasha was probably not as strong as she had thought it to be at the time. it was most likely because he was something new, something exciting. his
ash nature was the opposite of the males she knew in her time, the fact that he had dog ears and some other interesting abilities was an added bonus to her attraction. but those feelings weren't love. she knew that now.
after the day they had '
oken up' it had gotten very awkward between them. while she still cared for inuyasha, she felt bad for staying there, in his own town. when it had been she that had
oken up with him. however, she had no where else to go even if she wanted to. aside from going to live with kouga, which is something she really didn't want to do. she wished nightly that she could find somewhere else to go. it seemed as though someone had been listening to her thoughts, for a few months after the event between she and inuyasha. a surprising visitor had come to the village seeking her help.
it had been someone she never thought she would see again. it had been sesshoumaru. when he had asked for her, she had approached him cautiously. sure, he was not an enemy, but he was also not an ally. she had listened to his curiously and was rather surprised when he asked that she come back with him to his home, so she could be the healer to the humans that served under him.
she had also learned that day why 'the human hating demon lord' as he had so been called, had humans serving him, when any demon would die to do it. the answer was simple; rin. while she was getting older, he thought it would be better that she had human companions or servers too. however, he did not want to her to be out of his territory and close to him. so it was why he had
ought humans to him instead of sending her away to them. however, the humans did not want a demon healer working on them and said they would be more comfortable with a human healer.
rin had been the one to suggest her, and he had agreed which was why he had come to where she was staying. kagome had asked him for a few days to think about it, and after thinking of the good and bad, she had agreed to go. inuyasha had not been happy with her choice, but part of her still believes that he was slightly relieved to see her go. she was happy too, this way
oken hearts will be able to heal faster. it also helped that the next miko for village had finished her training.
making up her mind, she began packing and then after a quick farewell with her friends, she went with sesshoumaru back to his lands. she had not been surprised how royal looking his home had been, even for the time period. however, she had been surprised at how big it had been. her room had been the same size as her home that she had grown up in. of course, it being sesshoumaru, his 'home' had only the finest things. after getting settled in, she had settled into her new job nicely.
she was surprised how nice everyone under sesshoumaru had been to her; humans and demons alike. after six months of being there, she had been called into sesshoumaru's study. once there, he had told her that she would be taking combat classes, because he had noticed how much she lacked in the offensive position in the final battle with naraku. she had accepted, and had soon become a well trained fighter. it was another year that she had lived with sesshoumaru before everything changed.

kagome sighed softly as she took another drink of the alcohol before her. yes, after that one event her relationship with sesshoumaru had changed completely. the event itself was rather random and took her completely by surprise.
