A/N: This plot came to mind after hearing a song. I hope you enjoy this prologue as much as I did writing it! I hope you don't get too confused with the switching of point of views. The last will be written in third person, but in each, it's clear enough to able to tell who is talking.

Disclaimer: You know it, I know it, so why even delusion myself? No, I do not own Inuyasha.

The love of these two people begins 1000 years ago. Their love is broken by lies and deceit of other people. A wish is granted and they are reborn again, this time in the modern world. Will their love be able to transcend time and defy fate or will history repeat itself? IxK SxM KxA SxR

Prologue: A wish for you

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!"

I run to find him among the chaos, afraid of never seeing him again. This war was cruel enough to take him away, to a fight we knew we would lose. Fate had tricked us, making us go against each other. I bet the gods are sitting in the sky laughing at our foolishness. I don't care. In my mind, I think of Sango, Miroku and the others, but all I want is to see him.

I run toward the battle. Demons of all kinds are scattered among my people, killing everything in their path. As I entert the battle, I see nothing but darkness. Not even the stars or moon shone. Still, I can see just enough with the fire all around me.

I still do not see him. Where is he? Where does he lie? I see that the heat of the battle is nearing my home, the castle in which I lived. I know the end is coming, but how do I cope with it? I am wounded and with no medical help I will die. I am a healer, a wielder of magic, but I no longer wish to take away life for a foolish war. I rather die than to be used as a weapon. Blood spilt is something I do not like to see. I jump over dead bodies, not caring about anyone but the one person I need to see.

Inuyasha.

I still cannot find him and I am getting weaker. If I don't find him now, I'll just die. A world without him is unimaginable, something I dare not think or want. If he is alive, I will be with him. If he is dead, so be it, but I will join him. To never be separated is what I want for us. I run up the steps of my home. I stumble and lean on a pillar. I can remember just this morning. If I had seen this beforehand, I wouldn't have believed any of it. I slide down against the pillar to catch my breath and relive those moments when my world fell apart.

It was a peaceful day, with no show of battle near at all. I had been walking in the garden, when I happened to come upon a silver haired man with little dog ears. I picked up my skirts as I ran toward him. His ears twitched as he heard the rustle of my dress and he turned to me. I hugged him around his waist, but he did not respond. I looked up and I saw his auburn eyes harden. He brushed me off, and I was hurt. What had made him act this way toward me?

"Inuyasha, is something wrong?" I asked, confused.

"Much is wrong, especially concerning you" he responded in a callous tone.

His tone surprised me and his words confused me more. What was wrong with me?

"What are you talking about?"

He threw me a disdainful look, one that had me backing away. He pulled a piece of paper out of the pocket of his shirt and threw it at me.

"This! This is what is wrong with you!" He looked about ready to burst, but I bent over to pick up the note. As I opened it, I saw the cause of Inuyasha's anger and disdain.

It was a love letter addressed to my childhood friend, Kouga, signed in my name. I can tell you it was forged, as it was neither my script nor signature. Besides, Kouga and I considered ourselves as siblings and me being in love with him would be like incest. Kouga was a full wolf demon and his pack had helped me in turbulent times. Inuyasha knew this, so why would he believe this nonsense?

"Inuyasha, this is not my script or my signature! Kouga and I are merely friends and no more!" I shouted. He still did not soften.

"Cut the act, princess! I have a witness to say that you were embracing him two nights ago! You have lied," he spat. I stopped dead when he called me by my title. He never did that.

I tried to remember two nights before. It had been my 16th birthday, a cause for celebration, for now I could finally wed and had come of age. A feast was made in my honor and all my family and friends were invited, including Kouga. He had given me a hug as he gave me my present. He had taken me to the garden, claiming that my present was there. And it was.

The gift was a new flower of exotic origins. I loved flowers and new ones were the best. Of course Kouga would buy them as a present. I hugged him in happiness and pecked him on the cheek in thanks, but that's all. He didn't even like me, as he had Princess Ayame to keep him at hand. I wondered at who could have given this false support against me.

"Inuyasha, I tell you this isn't true! Who told you such lies?"

"Kikyo. Your sister Kikyo."

Ah.

Now I saw why he was believed it so much. And who else but Kikyo would do such a vile thing? You see, my sister is older than I am by two years. She is beautiful, and we look alike. Her blue-gray eyes never held any emotion. That is why she had no suitors. Why would anyone want to marry such a cold woman? I have held nothing but compassion and sympathy toward her. I did love her as my sister, though she didn't acknowledge me as one.

Saying this, I can tell you she is jealous of me. She made it known to everyone that she hated me, and when she declared she wanted to marry Inuyasha, the rift between us grew further apart. Inuyasha did not want to marry her, so when she found out about he and I, she threw a fit. She went hysterical and for the first time I was afraid of her. After that, my mother became tired of her and sent her to be a priestess, to devote her life to God. She blamed me for her misfortune.

"How . . . how could you believe her? Are you so mistrustful of me that you doubt our love?" I said, my voice shaking. He looked at me as if I had struck him.

"I only go by what I see,"

After that, Inuyasha turned and left. He didn't even ask for an explanation. In an act of desperation, I ran and stumbled on a rock, falling toward the ground. I wailed at my lost love and my newfound pain. Nothing would bring him back to me, not even if I swore to him. He believes my sister a saint; therefore he would keep her word truer than mine.

I open my eyes as my memory ends. I try to stand up, as the pain numbs a bit. I think I can walk inside. Sitting at the front of the door, I see a woman, a demon slayer by her attire. I near and I notice the long dark hair that is Sango.

"Sango?" My voice shakes with the reality of death. Her head turns slightly, and her eyes find mine.

"Kagome?" she whispers. I stumble toward her, wishing with all my heart that I can save her. The wound stretches from her left shoulder to her right hip. I can't and I look at her frantically.

"It's . . . okay," She smiles. I grab her hand. She's going to die, but I can't leave her.

"Kagome, you have been the best friend a girl could have. I only wish we could have continued our adventures," She squeezes my hand.

"And I you, Sango." I choked out. "I have faith we will meet in the next life. She grins.

"Yeah," And with that, she left. Her hand goes limp and I can't help but curse the gods for taking everything precious from me. I take her hiraikoutsu and lay it across her, since I can't dig her a grave. I pray for her and then I get up. As I look around at my home, I am grieved with pain and loss. I enter, leaving Sango behind. I stumble upon the throne room, and I see a figure draped against the throne. I skitter toward them, wanting to help in any way. As I near I notice the short, curly black hair of my mother. Her hair is matted on her forehead with sweat, blood trickling down her sides. She is breathing shallow breaths, but she is alive.

Barely.

I sit down near her and hold her in my arms. She is to far gone for me to save her. Her eyes open and she smiles at me.

"My daughter, my beloved daughter. I wish it were different for you." She gulped hard. "But I want you to know that I love you so much. I don't think we'll see each other again. But I have hope for you."

She closed her eyes and her body went limp. I held her close as I sobbed. I cursed again and again. I had almost nothing left. The tears fell upon her face, and in the way they fell, it was as if the tears were her own. I set her down gently, and put her arms across her waist. These demons must have no compassion, for they killed a good friend and mother. I slowly get up and exit toward the main hall. I still have not given up my goal on finding Inuyasha. He's all I have left.

I lean in against the blood-splattered pillar. My silver hair is stained with blood. I breathe heavily as I try to find my sword. I have been fighting these demons since this afternoon. They came upon us suddenly and we were not prepared. It was right after my spat with her.

Kagome.

Oh, how I wish I had not been so stupid! Why hadn't I listened to any of her words? I am here, dying, and I cannot even ask for her forgiveness. I wish I could see her angelic face, even if it was just for a moment. I slide down the pillar, but the fighting still goes on. I try to remember my last moments with her. I remember being cross with her. The letter I had was a fake, something I had not realized until later. I guess I had always been jealous of the relationship Kagome and Kouga had, even if it was not a romantic one. I should have known Kikyo was lying. I can remenber exactly what she said.

"Inuyasha, I have something important for you," She had said, grabbing me by my arm. I knew she harbored feelings for me, but I had eyes only for her sister. Besides, she had become a priestess. No one could marry her.

"What is it?"

She smiled at me then. I guess she knew what would happen. Then her face turned solemn.

"I have here a letter, one of Kagome's to Kouga. I think you should see it," She held out the piece of paper. I took it and as I read, my trust for Kagome dwindled. I was filled with rash anger. Kikyo acted as if it were tragic for her too.

"Oh, Inuyasha! I am so sorry for you. But you see I always knew my sister was like this. I merely wanted to free you from her," She stood there and after a moment she spoke again.

"I know this is hard for you, but there is something else." She looked around, making sure no one was within earshot. " On her birthday, as I was walking in the garden that she loved so much, I saw her alone with him. I saw them embrace," She shook her head in disapproval. " I'm very sorry," She then turned and left me there, leaving me with my thoughts. I wanted to rip the paper, to make as if it never happened. I left to go to the garden where I knew she would be. I guess I don't have to say the rest.

Right at noon, we were attacked by a horde of demons, under the command of their captain, Naraku. I myself was half demon, but when I met Kagome, that didn't matter anymore. I was accepted for who I was. We entered the battle, not knowing the out come. Our demon allies came to help organize war parties. It was then when I confronted Kouga. He was wearing his armor and fur, as was his custom. He sensed me and turned toward me.

"Muttface! Long time no see!" he laughed. I don't think he noticed my anger until I was in his face.

"What the hell? What's with you?" He exclaimed. I pushed him back, my anger and jealousy almost overflowing.

"Me? What's with you! Messing around with Kagome behind my back is what's wrong." His dumbfounded expression only made me angrier.

"What are you talking about?" He stood his ground, sensing I was about to fight him. And hell, I was too. I lunged at him, but he punched me in my face, and it sent me flying. He stood, having been knocked down, and noticed the letter that had fallen from my pocket. His eyes grew wide as he read it. I stood, wiping the blood from my mouth. He gazed at me coldly and threw the piece of paper in my face.

"You stupid dog.

This isn't Kagome's handwriting or signature! What made you think so absurdly?" He turned around. "Kagome and I are like siblings. I could NEVER be that way with her. I hope you didn't already confront her, and if you did, you'll regret it for the rest of your days," At that moment, the war horn sounded, signaling that we were being invaded. I realized that I had been a fool, and I didn't even know if I would ever see her again.

I try to stand, but the wound is infected with some kind of poison. It takes all my strength just to walk. I see my fellow comrades fall, their lives taken. I come across a monk. I bend down to see him.

"Miroku?" I ask. He's on the ground, and his eyes flutter open.

"Hey," he answers hoarsely. There's a wound in his chest. By the looks of it, he's a goner. "Inuyasha, I just want to say, that you were the best friend a man could have," He coughs up blood.

"Same here,"

He smiles slightly, and then he's gone. Tears leak from my eyes. I have nothing left except for her. I enter the castle, toward the main hallway. Right now, I don't know if Kagome is alive or not, but I'm determined to find her, whatever it takes.

I can no longer walk, no longer crawl. The pain is too much. I've only reached to come out halfway to the main hallway. I fear that I am dying. I am getting weaker by the second. The wound I received is at the side of my waist, right above my hip. I don't know why the demon struck me there, but I guess it hit the mark. I held myself there, when I noticed something in my wound. I felt something strange, so I used my hands to take whatever was in there out.

What I extracted, was baffling.

In my hand I hold the legendary Shikon jewel, an object of pure power. To think I had this inside me for all this time! I surely can't believe it. It's bloody, but it still glows its pretty pink. Now I understood the cause for this whole war.

There is a legend that goes with this jewel. This jewel came to be when a powerful priestess defeated 1000 demons a long time ago. She sealed them in it, but she sealed herself with it, so the demons could not be released. It is understood that she died, but right before she sealed her self she said she would be reborn, to help rid the world of evil beings. She was reborn as me. That is why I had the power to heal people, just like a priestess, even though I was of the Royal family Higurashi. This jewel had the power to take over the world no matter who it would be. It could destroy as much as it could heal. I sigh and close my eyes.

I wish I had known about it. Maybe I could have prevented all of this, but then again, maybe I couldn't have. The fighting is still going. I could still seal them, but that would seal Inuyasha too. I don't think I will find him anymore. It's too late now. I have no strength. I look at the jewel and close my hand over it. I have to make a decision.

Just now I notice a figure enter through the southern part of the main hallway. He's clutching his side. In the pale light, I notice something. He has silver hair, and, could it be? Yes! Little dog ears adorn his head! Its him, it has to be him.

Inuyasha!

I drag myself, clutching my side. I left my sword outside. I have no need for it now. I know I'm going to die. I see a figure halfway toward where I am. It's a woman, and she's bleeding heavily. I crawl over to her and in the instant I see her in the light, my heart leaps out of my chest. The pale, but still angelic face is there, complete with the raven colored hair and blue-gray eyes.

Kagome!

(3rd person!)

Inuyasha made his way toward Kagome, who noticed and smiled. He reached out and took her hand in his, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Kagome, I am so sorry. I was a fool to trust your sister." Kagome shook her head.

"It's okay, Inuyasha. You're here now and that's all I need," She coughed, and then she moaned.

"What is it?" Inuyasha let go of her hand and gathered her in his arms. She smiled softly. She raised her right hand, something clutched in it.

"Look,"

She opened her hand and revealed the Shikon jewel to Inuyasha. He looked shocked and glanced at Kagome in astonishment.

"How did you get it?"

"I found it in my wound. It's been inside me this whole time Inuyasha, and I never noticed. It's the sole reason that I have my powers. Do you remember the legend?"

He merely nodded.

"I am that priestess, her reincarnation. I had the power to destroy all these evil demons, but if I had done it, I would have taken you too." She started to cry. Inuyasha pushed her hair from her face.

"Kagome, my love, I wish it could have been different. I wish this stupid battle had never happened. I wish that I had never doubted you. You are my life." He clutched her closer as they embraced. Kagome knew her time was near, she could feel it.

"Inuyasha, you know I'm going to die." She whimpered softly, touching his face tenderly. He shook his head frantically.

"No! You can't! If anyone deserves to die, it's me. And I am. The poison in this wound is slowly killing me." Her eyes widened. A small, but sad smile appeared.

"Then I guess its only good-bye for a little while. We'll see each other soon." She closed her hand over the jewel, and opened Inuyasha's palm. She dropped the jewel into his hand. She looked at him, dead in the eye.

"You can make a wish on it, once I'm gone. I know you will do it for all of us." She closed her eyes as she was overtaken by the pain in her chest and side. She could almost see the light, but she resisted, just to say one more thing.

"I love you,"

And with that she parted this world. Inuyasha held her lifeless body in his arms for the longest time. He could feel the effects of the poison and he would die soon. He welcomed death now. All he wanted was to see her again. He remembered the jewel and gazed upon it. He laid Kagome on the ground, and he closed his hand

"My only wish is to be with Kagome again, to be able to love her and live my life by her side, and for everyone here to have a second chance." Suddenly he could no longer ignore the pain, and as he doubled over, knowing he would die, he whispered one more line toward Kagome.

"To be with you again,"

His body went limp and he fell beside Kagome. The jewel began to glow, and it hovered into the air. It glowed even brighter until the whole castle was filled with the bright light. It shimmered and their world disappeared.

And this is how they lived.

I woke up screaming, sweat trickling down my brow. I looked around and saw the familiar couture of my room. It was still dark outside, so it was probably really late or really early. Suddenly, my door burst open.

"Kagome, are you all right?" Sango asked, turing on the light. Sango had long, dark brown hair with chestnut colored eyes. She was sporting a pink nightgown. Sango entered the room.

"Yeah, we heard you scream and came running," Ayame added. She had come in right after Sango. Ayame had bright red hair, which was currently messy, emerald green eyes and was wearing a red oversized shirt and gray sweat pants. She sat down on the edge of Kagome's bed.

"I don't was. . . a dream," I blinked as I tried to remember, but it wouldn't come back. Flashes of red, pink and a bit of gold ran through my mind. I shook my head.

"Are you sure you're okay, Kagome?" Ayame asked concerned. I smiled weakly, not wanting to worry my friends. I looked around and something struck me as abnormal.

"Hey, where's Rin? I would have expected her to be here, crying over my body!" I said, giggling. The others just smiled and waved off my lame joke.

"Rin is still in her bed, sleeping soundly." Sango admitted, with a secretive smile on her face. She smoothed out the covers on my bed and sat down at the side of my bed.

"Don't tell me she went out again?" I stated, smiling. Sango laughed and turned to Ayame, who took the liberty of lying on my bed.

"Why don't you tell her?"

"Hey! I'm not in this conversation. I'm just observing for gossip later," she teased, throwing a pillow at me and Sango. I couldn't help but throw it back. It hit Ayame right in her face and she fell backwards.

"Oh, ho, ho! This means war!" She leaped on my bed, grabbed a couple of pillows and aimed for Sango. She yelled and jumped out of the way, the pillows landing harmlessly at the side of my bed. Wanting answers, I stood on my bed and held out my hands between them.

"Alright you two, who was Rin out with tonight?" I asked, giving them a look that could have frozen the devil.

"It was. . . Seshoumaru wasn't it?" Sango asked Ayame, trying to confirm it to herself. Ayame nodded.

"Really? I would've thought she'd go for someone, you know. . . more enthusiastic!"

I had nothing against Seshoumaru but he was just so emotionless! At least, he never showed us any, and that's even after knowing him for four years. To me it just seemed illogical.

"Yep. And I hear she's going again, on the weekend." Sango added, smoothing out her clothes and hair. We shared a moment of silence, until Ayame sat up.

"Well, then we have to sleep! How else will be able to start the tour tomorrow?" Ayame asked, getting up and making her way to the door. Sango followed in pursuit and shut the lights off.

"Good night, Kagome."

And then I fell asleep.

A/N: Well that's the prologue! Originally, I had it end right after the dream, but if I had started with where she wakes up then that would have been too abrupt. So now we have Kagome and I wonder what will happen next in this story!
