Turning of Time

AN: I am trying a new story of Kagome and Sesshomaru, been a really long time since I have written one. I suddenly just got the urge to write again.

Summary: My story is going to take Kagome into the well at a younger age, around thirteen. My reason for this is because when she goes back she will be older, and finishes school. Sesshomaru... I will get to that. Otherwise please enjoy the story from the bottom of my heart.

Prologue: So long ago...

Kagome Higurashi, a woman of nineteen, whose eyes were those of someone who has seen the ages, looked out at the glittering stars that illuminated the night. This very night she thought back on being back in the future for so long. It has been four years since she returned form the Feudal Era, right after the final battle with Naraku.

Looking back she thought about how unprepared even their enemy was for what occurred that very day and very moment. As everyone fought their hardest pitted against Naraku and his incarnations, it was unnoticed by all that the jewel disappeared from Naraku and went straight for Kagome. At last minute everyone froze in battle as they watched the tainted jewel of four souls that most of which Naraku himself possessed head for the little miko, Kagome.

Kagome herself, not prepared to have this happen, screamed as soon as the jewel hit her and surrounded her with a radiantly pink aura enveloping her within its grasp. The scream was not one of pain, but happiness as the jewel purified and re-entered her body. As it stopped she fell increasingly fast to the ground from which she came, but never felt the impact because a certain demon lord of the Western Lands, Sesshomaru caught her. As everything seem to come back to reality, Naraku charged at Kagome and Sesshomaru with full force. Before anyone could blink, her eyes glowed and lifted a single hand that threw Naraku back. A purifying light pierced him, destroying the evil hanyou without a single breathe.

Smirking at the memory of this Kagome slid her hand down the frosted window, as she remembered what happened next. Everyone looked on at the little miko in fear and shock. Shaking her head, she pushed away from Sesshomaru, who asked quietly, "What are you?" Not answering him she wobbled on her knees till they hit the ground as her friends, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kouga, Ayame, and her son Shippou approached quickly. Inuyasha landed in front of her to ask, "Who are and where is KAGOME!?!" Wincing at the sound her hollow voice answered, "I am her, Inuyasha, just because I displayed that, doesn't mean someone is possessing me, I have untapped raw power." Looking sadly at her friends she turned to Sango, "Care for Shippou for he is was your own, everyone live full lives please..." Miroku asked, "Lady Kagome, what are you saying?" As Sesshomaru observed the group from the side he noticed the miko beginning to fade. Upon this realization he interjected, "Houshi, your friend, the miko is fading from this time. She has required what she was needed for; she is not allowed to stay. The fading of her soul and body from this time is evidence of that." Kagome turned her head to look at the Demon Lord and said, "Your know so much mighty demon lord, this was only the beginning, that's why I said live your lives to the fullest." A light shot forward from the well in distance and closed around the miko as she sadly said, "I shall remember everyone my sister and brothers, who cared and accepted me as one of them. Never take each other for granted, otherwise it is not a life worth living!" As her voice faded Kagome Higurashi sixteen years of age was home in the future for good.

Slamming her fist against the frosted window as snow began to fall, she cursed the jewel, "You send me back to my time only to make me realize, my life will interrupted once again, after four years to return to the time where I learned of love and hate. Why, only to have me train in every weapons, combat and magical form of power possible. The purpose for which is to protect the one I can't see." As her voice floated to that of a whisper, the jewel glowed intensely telling her that her time in her own time is about up once again.

Trudging up stairs, Kagome walked into the silent and house as even breathing of three other people were heard. Lying down on her bed, she fell into a dream filled sleep.

~Dream~

Looking at the mysterious jewel in her hands, it glowed an intense blue, pink, purple and red as four entities emerged from the jewel. "Kagome," they said in unison. We are your guardians, the souls of the jewel, we thank you for protecting us now, let us protect and fight with you in your destiny."

Looking at the four souls she questioned, "What more is there than to protect the jewel?"

The souls soothed her with kind words, "Fret not miko, we need you to protect the future. We have a new enemy on the horizon, not after the jewel this time, but a certain Demon Lord you know."

Looking hesitant she asked, "What Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Lord Sesshomaru is nearly immortal, invincible to all of those who oppose him, but soon he will not be. His ward, Rin is to be murder, we need to s\\op that. The little girl is the next guardian of the gates of time, those of which you crossed for many years." Kagome sighed and added, "I understand, Rin needs to be protect from this enemy." All of a sudden the voices faded and she is left holding the jewel in her hands as everything around her begins to fade.

~End Dream~

Kagome jolted awake with a start and realized that, if she doesn't protect her then the future she has or could have will not happen if Rin dies. With a refreshed view and a goal ahead to accomplish she packs everything that she will need, as she ready's herself for the Feudal Era once again. But this time with a different purpose, to save the future of everyone.

I hope everyone enjoyed that! More to come soon! Review please, that helps a lot in my preparations to give you, the readers an excellent and mouth watering tale.
