Nothing is Impossible for Love to Overcome

Chapter 1: Strange Encounter of the Feudal Era Kind

"Kagome!"

"What is it, InuYasha?"

"Where is the Ramen?"

Kagome, who had been bandaging Shippo's numerous scratches from the previous battle, looked over to the inu hanyou (dog half-demon). InuYasha, clad in his red fire-rat haori, was bent over her large yellow backpack, most of its contents now spread all over the ground as he continued to look through it.

Kagome shrieked. "Sit, boy!"

BAM

InuYasha, his face now as red as his haori, gave a growl. "What the hell was that for?" He asked.

Kagome jumped up, quickly moving to her backpack. "What do you think you are doing? Look at this mess! All of my things are dirty! Why couldn't you just ask me, InuYasha?" She said, kneeling as she started to collect her belongings. What clean clothes she had were now covered in dirt and wrinkled from being thrown, the left over snacks already being taken over by ants, and her CDs, and DVDs and DVD player were now scratched in their cases.

"It's not my fault that you couldn't just leave it on the top." InuYasha said, the subjugation command now wearing off.

"Baka! You finished the last of the Ramen this morning!" She said.

InuYasha scowled. "Well then it's your fault for not bringing enough!"

Sango leaned closer to Miroku. "Do you know why InuYasha has been so moody lately?" The taijiya (demon slayer) asked.

"Yes, it does seem as if he is picking fights now, doesn't he?" The monk replied, his staff resting in his lap.

Shippo shook his head, coming over to the couple as he sat next to Kilala, who was watching with interest. "All I have to say is if Oka san (mother) cries again, I'm going to use my statue trick and leave him in the forest for a week." The kitsune cub added.

Miroku and Sango nodded in agreement. The group was getting closer to the final battle with Naraku, who for a while seemed to have disappeared from the planet. Kagome had just turned 19, thus marking the beginning of her fourth year in Sengoku Jidai. She had finished high school, able to get passing grades after a lot of study time. She had officially adopted Shippo as her son, and had completed Miko training, courtesy of Lady Kaede. Kagome had come a long way, and blossomed into a beautiful woman. She would even sometimes wear the robes of a Miko, though she did it more to piss off InuYasha. Actually, Lady Kaede, Miroku, Shippo, and Sango had all given her a gift on her 18th birthday. It was a battle costume, a mix of a traditional kimono and Sango's slayer uniform. It was blue and black, and Kagome wore it almost every day. Like Sango's uniform, it wrapped around the neck, but its sleeves were long, like InuYasha's, only blue. It had black tight pants like Sango's, but was covered by two flaps with high slits on both sides to allow movement. Kagome had said it looked like a modern kimono with black tights, and thanked them profusely, though still wore jeans and a shirt every once in awhile. Now, though, she was in the costume.

Sango was starting to come to terms with the loss of her village and family. It had taken awhile, but she was no longer harboring sadness. Though she still often went to the village, it was now cleaned up from hard work, and Sango had hopes for restoring it.

Miroku, even after proposing to Sango, still had a hard time not flirting with other woman. Kagome was sure by now that his face was immune to the smacks from Sango, though he was a great deal better. However, the Wind Tunnel was getting larger...

Shippo had started to grow a little bit, and Kagome was worried that she wouldn't have a little bundle in her arms anymore. He hadn't gotten that large, but it was enough for a new kimono. He even had a slight ponytail going now, instead of his hair just being pulled back in a ball of fluff.

Sango looked at Kagome with a frown on her lips as she watched her argue with the hanyou. "Must he always break her heart?" Sango asked, worried over the woman who was like her sister.

"You would think, after all this time, he would learn." Miroku agreed. Kagome turned away from the hanyou, and the Shikon No Tama, which was wrapped around her neck, flashed in the midday sun. "Sango, Miroku, are there any injuries on you two that I need to look at?" Kagome asked, ignoring the confrontation she had just had.

"No, we are both fine Kagome-chan." Sango answered as Kilala meowed.

"Alight then. If you guys don't mind, I think I'm going to go ahead and go home. We aren't that far from Kaede's village." Kagome said, smiling as she walked to her bag.

"That would be a good idea, Kagome. We will let Kaede-sama know that you will be coming back." Miroku said, smiling.

"Thanks guys! Shippo, be good for Sango. I'll be back in a few days!" She said smiling as she walked off, bow in her hands.

They waved as she walked away, before turning on InuYasha.

"What the hell did I do?" He asked.

88888888

"Mom! Souta! Grandpa! I'm home!" Kagome called out, walking into her house.

"Hey Kagome!" Souta said, jumping down the stairs. "How is the Feudal Era?"

"Fine. Hey, if you keep practicing, maybe you can come visit some time." Kagome said, noticing yet again that her little brother had gotten taller.

Souta's eyes lit up. "Oh, yeah!"

"Hello, dear." Mrs. Higurashi said from the kitchen door. "Hojo came by again."

Kagome sighed. "Why doesn't he get it..."

Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "You have to give him credit. He is very determined."

"I'm going to take a bath..." Kagome mumbled in defeat, trudging up the stairs.

88888888

Golden eyes flashed red, before returning to their normal hue as they watched the Bone Eater's well. She had returned home again. He turned away from the well, walking back to where he left Rin.

Lord Sesshomaru wrinkled his nose for a moment, before his face returned to its perfect posture. He had been watching the Miko for years, his interest in the girl, no – woman, only growing. He knew now, thanks to his half-brother's loud mouth, that this place led to her home, and was in the future. Not only this, but she had a broad education. Knowledge like that could be powerful...

However, that was not his intention, or at least, not anymore. She intrigued him, oh, yes. Beyond imagination, so much that she haunted him. This had infuriated the Western Lord to no end, and had even gone as far as to try killing her several times. Though, he could never bring himself to finish the task, and that had only infuriated him more.

What was it about this woman, this mortal?

88888888

"Ah, that was heaven, pure heaven." Kagome said, walking out of her steaming bathroom in a black nightgown. She proceeded to comb and dry her hair, which had lengthened some, even curling more. She was glad for that. She did not want to resemble Kikyo, knowing that even after all this time; InuYasha could only see Kikyo in her, and not Kagome.

She shook her head. Now was not the time for those thoughts to come into her brain! (Bad Kagome!) She thought. (For now, just lay down on your bed. Enjoy the feel of the mattress and the soft pillow under your head.) Nodding in determination, she laid herself down, and fell asleep.

88888888

"Morning, Mom! Hey Souta, hi Grandpa!" Kagome sang, again in her costume. She had her bow in hand, and her backpack, which was now replenished with supplies, on her back with a quiver full of arrows.

"Leaving so soon, sis?" Souta asked. "It's only been two days."

"I know. We still have to get more Shards, though, and Naraku is out there somewhere." Kagome told him, smiling sadly.

Mrs. Higurashi watched her children. "Souta, maybe if you ask her..."

"Ask me what?"

Souta scuffed his shoe on the floor. "I was wondering, well, my school is having a festival, and I though you might want to come and check it out." Souta asked.

Kagome smiled, setting her things down. "I would love to, just let me change quickly. The others won't mind if I come at sunset."

Souta smiled, and lunged at this sister, hugging her. "Yes!"

88888888

"Wow, this is great! We never did anything like this when I was in middle school." Kagome said, looking around. The first years had decided to do a Greek festival as their first-semester project, and boy was it a hit! It was going to be a two-day long festival, with the groups taking turns on running the booths. Souta would be running it tomorrow, but Kagome was very glad that she had come. The students that were running it today were all wearing different styles of Togas, and the scent of food was lingering in the air. After getting some food, and trying some of the Olympic sports they had set up, they decided to go check out the pottery.

"Hey, what's this?" Kagome asked. They were walking by a booth that said, "Readings by the Messengers of the Gods", and Kagome felt pulled to it. (There's no spiritual energy, but it does look like fun!) She thought.

"Want to try it? Some of the superstitious girls in class set up a card reading booth with decks representing the Gods and Goddesses." Souta explained.

"I remember reading about the Gods and Goddesses in history class. How does it work?" Kagome asked, already walking to the booth.

Kagome paid the five yen charge, and sat down. A girl about sixteen, though very developed with long blonde hair, that looked like curled gold, sat in front of her. "Good evening. I am Dity, and I shall do your reading."

Kagome smiled, and watched the girl take out a deck of white and gold cards. The back of the cards had a picture of white clouds swirling around. Kagome must have been staring at the too hard, because they looked like the clouds were moving!

"If you will shuffle the deck, this way your energy flows into the cards, I will give you your reading." Dity explained.

And so, Kagome shuffled the deck, before handing them back to the young beauty. Dity smiled at her, before cutting the deck and laying them out in an intricate design.

"You have strong spiritual energy that you have mastered over time." The young woman spoke, her voice rolling like waves on the sea shore.

Souta and Kagome exchanged glances.

"A Goddess has her hand on you." She continued. "She has been watching you. Your heart has been broken, but you must move on. There is another, one who needs you though he knows it not. You must help him. A long journey awaits you two, and only by being together, by becoming one, can the two of you defeat the rising evil."

A chill went down Kagome's back, and Souta placed his hand on hers, completely focused on the cards. "She will help you where she can, but there are rules about meddling with mortal affairs." She added. "Look for her, and she will guide you. Just because they were not worshiped by Japan, does not mean they do not look over matters that concern their ruling."

Dity moved her sparkling sea-form green colored eyes from the cards to Kagome's blue ones. "Nothing is Impossible for Love to Overcome."

With that, the girl stood, smiling as she bowed her head, and walked away. Kagome was paralyzed for a moment, before she stood up. "Matte! Wait, what does that mean!" She cried, trying to follow, but the girl Dity was not found.

"Excuse me, miss?" Kagome asked one of the other girls. "Where can I find Dity? She just gave me a reading."

The girl looked at her, confused. "I'm sorry, but there is no one by that name in our class." She bowed before walking away.

Kagome looked at Souta, who shrugged. "I don't know her. That was my first time seeing her, though if our school had a blonde, we would know about it."

Kagome looked on, up at the sky. "Souta, remind me... what was the name of the Goddess of Love and Beauty, who was born from sea foam?"

"Aphrodite." He answered.

They walked through the rest of the festival, but Kagome was too engrossed in her thoughts to remember it at all. What was a Greek Goddess doing in Japan, and what did she want with her?

88888888

Kagome, back in her costume with her supplies and weapon, jumped down into the well, again coming out in Sengoku Jidai. She hoisted her backpack up and over, before getting up to sit on the well, taking a breath.

"I can't wait for the invention of the elevator." She mumbled under her breath. Kagome smiled, looking up at the sky, shielding her eyes from the sun, before turning to look at the Goshinboku in the distance.

What she wasn't expecting was to see a pair of red eyes just beyond her sight in the trees.

She opened her mouth to scream, but stopped. She knew who it was. Only one demon had that aura, only one was that powerful. So why didn't she scream for her friends?

Kagome blinked once, and opened her eyes to find him gone.

Kagome placed her hand over her heart, willing it to calm down. She was lucky – he chose to leave her be. But what was he doing here, in InuYasha's forest? And WHY did he let her be?

Kagome shook her head, deciding that there was WAY too much going on for her to worry over it, and gathered her things, taking off towards Kaede's village.

88888888

Her greeting was the usual. There were still villagers about, who were always happy to see her. She smiled and waved at them, before her kit came racing towards her. "Momma!" Shippo cried, jumping into her open arms.

"Hey Shippo." She said.

"Kagome!" Sango called out, walking up with Miroku and Kilala.

"Hey guys. I have more treats for you." Kagome smiled, joining them as the walked to the head priestess' hut.

"Always with the gifts." Miroku said.

Sure enough, when they settled inside Kaede's hut, Kagome passed around the goodies. Shippo was very excited about his gift. Kagome had given him a PSP system, and a few games with a lot of batteries. He had wanted one after Souta had let her borrow his, and so she caved and got one for him. Kagome gave Sango more make up, and some woman necessities, and Miroku some books that modern-day monks had written. She gave Lady Kaede more medicine and medical supplies, and for InuYasha-

"Hey, wait a minute. Where is InuYasha?" Kagome asked.

"Probably mopping in a tree." Shippo said, his eyes lighting up as the screen came on.

"Come to think of it, we haven't seen him all day." Sango said.

Kilala meowed.

"Oh, hey, guys! You're never going to believe..." Suddenly, Kagome felt a bit faint. She brought her hand up to her head, her eyes closing slightly.

"Kagome?" Sango cried.

"Are ye ok, Kagome?" Kaede asked.

"I just felt a bit, faint... that's all." Kagome said. (Guess that means I'm not suppose to talk about it.) Kagome thought. "I think I'm going to turn in, we have a big day of traveling tomorrow." Kagome said.

Shippo, engulfed in his game, wagged his tail. Kagome smiled, and rested in her sleeping bag, thinking over the earlier events.

88888888

Sure enough, InuYasha had everyone up and ready early in the morning, barking orders as usual. Kagome just shook her head, the pain from her head ache too intense to argue.

While they were walking, Kagome dug out a bottle of Advil. She didn't like to take stuff like this, but if she used her Miko powers to heal the pain, it would just come back again and again. So, she twisted off the bottle cap, and tipped out two of the pills. Sango noticed Kagome looking for a water bottle, and asked what was wrong.

"Kagome, what are you taking those for?" Sango asked.

"Oh, just a head ache." She replied, smiling. "Nothing to worry about, its just bothering me." She said, stopping as she put the pills in her mouth and taking a gulp of water. The others kept walking, not realizing that she had stopped. Kagome swallowed, and took a few extra sips. She smiled as she took the bottle from her lips, and set her backpack on the ground to put the medicine and water away, the others a bit a head of her now.

When she did, she stood up, slinging the pack to her back once again, and stopped. A wave of power was coming from her left, and she turned her head slowly to look.

There, beyond the trees, where two glowing red eyes.

It was him, again. Kagome froze, rooted there on the dirt road. What was he doing here? Was he following them? Was he going to try to kill her again? What was she doing just standing there?

But as she looked into his eyes, they began to turn from a red to gold. The owner took a step forward, allow the light to make himself known, but still beyond the trees and bushes. Kagome's heart sped up. (Kami-sama, I'm going to die.) She thought.

However, Sesshomaru just stood there, not breaking eye contact. A breeze blew, and Kagome didn't make a move to stop her hair from getting in her face, but instead noticed how his hair, swaying like it was, made him look... perfect... ethereal.

"Kagome!" Called her friends.

She startled, breaking out of her trance as she looked up at her friends, who noticed her absence. They were making their way quickly back, worried that something had happened. Kagome glanced back at the trees, and noticed the Western Lord was gone.

"What the hell are you doing, stopping in the middle of the road like an idiot?" InuYasha cried, landing in front of her.

"Are you ok, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Yes... I'm fine. Just thought I sensed something, that's all." (I wonder why InuYasha can't smell his brother? Maybe... no. Sesshomaru wouldn't want me to know that he was there. But then, why can't InuYasha sense him?)

"A Jewel Shard?" InuYasha asked.

"No, nothing. But if we walk a bit more, I might." Kagome said, effectively changing the subject.

Shippo looked at his mom. "If you're bored, oka-chan, you can use my PSP." Shippo offered from Miroku's shoulder.

"That's ok, sweetie. Now, shall we get going?"

"Feh. That's what we were doing, till you stopped." InuYasha barked.

"Osuwari."

BAM

The group continued on, Kagome falling to the back. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that Sesshomaru wasn't done with them yet. So what was he doing? It wasn't like the Ice Prince of the Western Lands, feared demon Lord, to spy or play games.

Maybe... maybe be needed something. His ward, Rin, maybe she was sick again? He had come to her once, for aid to the girl.

No, he wouldn't spy on them for that. Maybe he was waiting for his chance? But to do what? He doesn't want the Tetsusagai anymore, not when he has the Tokijin.

Kagome, not knowing what could have possessed her, took out a piece of paper from her diary and a pen. On it, she wrote a note, before ripping it out. She folded the paper around the pen, and after making sure no one noticed, she tossed it to the bushes. She didn't look back to see what became of it.

88888888

Sesshomaru saw what the Miko did, and when his half-brother's group was far enough away, he went to the thrown object.

Unfolding the strange paper, and eyeing the foreign stick, he almost smirked. She was perceptive.

What is it that you want, Sesshomaru?

After studying the stick, he wrote his reply. He wasn't sure why, but he felt that it would be amusing to enlighten the woman.

88888888

After a long day, without any leads on a Shard, Kagome decided to retire to a hot spring. Sango turned down her offer, saying if she bathed again her skin would be rubbed off. Kagome, not understanding how it was normal not to bath everyday, smiled and walked off, after threatening InuYasha and Miroku to stay put.

Kagome set her things by the waters edge, her bow and arrows in reach if anything were to happen. If needed, she could set up a Miko shield, but she was too tired for that. So, after smiling at the bliss of the area, she started to take her clothing off and sink into the steaming water.

"No running water, but it's the next best thing. This really hits the spot." Kagome said, sighing happily. For a while, she simply leaned back against a rock, but then she decided that she should probably wash soon, or InuYasha would complain.

So, she sat up, and reached for her shampoo. Taking a palm full, she ran it through her hair, lathering up bubbles. She ducked under the water, rinsing it as she then took the conditioner. Lavender filled her rose as she relaxed. It was good for the hair, and therapeutic! Kagome smiled, combing her hair with her hands as she relaxed.

A soft thumb reached her ears, and she straightened to attention, ducking below the water as she tried to cover herself. Her eyes landed on a familiar piece of paper and her pen.

Kagome's face lit up. "Hentai!" She raged. She put up a Miko barrier, one that would be big enough that she could not worry about being spied on. When it was up, she reached for the towel to dry her hands, and then the note. Below her writing was a response. The calligraphy was so smooth and practiced; Kagome was envious, until she read what it said.

It's Lord Sesshomaru, Miko. As for my business, that is not of your concern.

Kagome huffed, writing a reply before quickly finishing her bath, dressing and walking back to camp as she put down her shield.

Miroku looked up at her when she arrived. "Kagome, are you alright? I noticed you put your shield up."

"Just keeping out peeping toms." She replied, settling in her sleeping bag as she took out her diary. She unlocked the key, and began to write.

88888888

Sesshomaru, who had to leap away at the purifying shield she had erected, walked back to the hot spring. It was not the first time he had spied on her there, and he would be damned if wanted to go join her. He went to the note, which the Miko had placed where he had dropped it.

Well then, Lord Sesshomaru, conduct your business elsewhere! By the way, I never would have figured you for the perverted type! Jerk!

This time, the Western Lord did smirk. Her defiance is one of the things that attracted him to her – she had fire. A part of him wanted to make her submit to his beast, but Sesshomaru had better control than that. She was, after all, his half-demon's wench.

Still concealing himself, he approached their camp. He watched her scribble away, emotions flashing across her face, mostly of confusion. She was entertaining indeed. He stayed, waiting till everyone had fallen asleep. He watched InuYasha approach her, kneeling next to her sleeping form. A part of him raged at this, but that's all his half-brother did. Then, InuYasha left, toward the scent of graveyard soil.

Sesshomaru stepped out of the trees, walking to the girl. The moonlight showed down on her, as she had one arm around the sleeping kit next to her.

The mononoke woke up, glaring at the youkai, but not alerting the Miko's companions. Sesshomaru didn't stop to wonder why, just dropped the note and pen on her pillow, and turned and walked away back to his ward.

88888888

Shippo, InuYasha, Sango, Miroku, and Kilala, who had slept next to Kagome the rest of the night, were brought from their sleep by a fuming Kagome.

"What are you doing?" InuYasha asked.

"Sit, boy!"

BAM

"Um, Kagome?" Miroku asked.

"What?" Kagome snapped.

Miroku sweat dropped. "Never mind." They let Kagome be after that.

Kagome was aggravated for the whole morning. Why? (That ignorant demon!) Kagome screamed mentally. (Who the hell does he think he is? He acts like he owns the world or something! I so want to teach him a lesson!) Kagome gets saying his reply in her brain over and over again:

I do as I please. This includes where I conduct my business, who I conduct it with, and what I do in my spare time. You should watch your mouth around those higher in station than you, Miko. If not, I may have to show you what the consequences are.

How dare that youkai think he is the boss of her! Kagome was so aggravated that for a moment, her aura flared a pink/blue as she busied herself around camp.

88888888

Sesshomaru made sure to be there when the Miko awoke. He had to admit that her rant was amusing. He even went as far as to allow the corner of his lips to curl ever so slightly into a smile. He watched as she glowed, and couldn't help but think she was even more beautiful when she was angry, even more than a demoness. He quickly shoved that thought away with the others. Those thoughts are going to need a bigger space in his brain...

88888888

He had to wait most of the day for a response. He was sure that what ever it was, it would amuse him. Maybe he should make her mad more?

Sure enough, when they were about to camp for dinner, he noticed the human woman's arm flick out, the paper and pen landing near the trees. He waited for the Miko to gather her things for a bath before sweeping down and gathering it.

You pompous, arrogant jerk! I'd just like to see you try!

(Oh, she would, would she?) The taiyoukai thought to himself. A smirk came across his features, and he developed a hunter's gleam in his eyes. (Very well.) His inner beast purred, stalking his way to where she was taking a bath.

88888888

Ok, now that I've reached 13 pages, I'm stopping.

I did that off the top of my head....

I'm not liking it. Should I re do it?

I think I'm going to...

Any suggestions?

Or should I keep going?

Oh, what the hell...

88888888

Kagome set her things down, starting to undress. She folded her clothes and set them next to her towel, before sinking into the water.

"This is exactly what I needed after today." She said, closing her eyes in peace.

After reviewing what had happened that day, her eyes opened in a glare. "I can't believe that jerk! Thinking that he can come here and act like it's his right to punish me..." She growled out, splashing the water in anger.

"That would be because I can." A smooth voice rang out next to her ear.

Kagome spun around, mouth open as she was ready to shriek, before something she never would have though possible, happened.

Sesshomaru covered her lips with his own, silencing her scream. Kagome tensed. Somewhere in the world, a mountain collapsed, or a tree turned human, or a volcano erupted ice, or something! There was no way this was happening!

8888888888888888888888888888

Ok, now I'm ending it. Was this better?

Or at least bearable?

PLEASE REVIEW!

Much love and appreciation-
