Kagome looked at the jewel in her hand, it was bloodied and looked oh so innocent. She knew better though.

Everyone was gone because of this little jewel. All the people she loved and cherished never to be seen again.

They were gone...dead.

"This wasn't meant for you." A voice said behind her.

Kagome turned around, tears still in her eyes, "Who are you?...and what do you mean...'not meant for you'?"

The woman smiled, "You would know me as Midoriko..."

Kagome's eyes widened at the woman, the creator of the jewel that ruined her life.

Midoriko stepped forward and took the jewel out of her hand, and it disappeared, " Things should have gone so much differently..."

Midoriko gave a sad smile as she continued, "You were never meant to be here." She looked at her descendant who had tear stains on her face with sympathy.

"You were never supposed to come to the past. Never meant to find out about the jewel. You had a different destiny. You were supposed to fall in love and not know such heartbreak. Your soulmate was waiting for you and died thinking you were dead cause he could never feel you because of you going back and forth between times."

Midoriko knelt down and touched Kagome's face, "You were supposed to have a different life. A Happy one. One filled with love. Not one filled with such loss."

Kagome's voice cracked as she spoke up, "What do you mean. I don't understand. If I had a different destiny why did I end up here. WHY did I end up in the situation I am in now.!" Kagome's feelings were in overload. She didn't understand.

Midoriko sighed, "You were supposed to stay in your world and Vampires would have come and shown they existed to the world. You would have studied to become a researcher. You would have met your soulmate...you would have fallen in love and you would have been happy."

Midoriko looked into Kagome's eyes, "You weren't meant to come and fight these battles in the past. When you fell down the Bone Eaters Well, your happiness was also taken away from you. When you landed in the past...everything changed...I am so sorry."

"You keep on saying things about what should have happened...what now? What am I supposed to do?" Kagome asked, tears in her eyes. Everything was gone, she had nothing in the past or her time.

Midoriko gave a sad smile, "I can send you through the well, you will have little time to make the destiny you were supposed to have. I will be sending you back not that long before the world goes up in flames."

"When does that start?" Kagome muttered as she looked to the ground. She wasn't in the present much, but she knew Vampires came out of the 'Closet' and things went downhill from there.

Midoriko put her hand on the young woman's forehead, "I give you the moment where things started going wrong. Save him. He is important to the world's future...and you."

Images flew through Kagome's head, voices and names, people she never met ran flashed through her mind's eye as she took a deep breath in.

"Two Thousand years is enough"

"Our existence is Insanity. We don't belong here"

"Do you believe in God?"

"IF you are right, how will he punish me."

"God Forgives"

Kagome watched as a man, no...vampire, stood in the sun, blue flames engulfing him and became ash. Tears poured down her face as she felt like her heart was ripped into pieces.

"Is...he?" Kagome asked, tears still falling from her eyes.

Midoriko nodded, "He waited for you. He has been waiting for you for over two-thousand years...but you disappeared into the past. He could no longer feel his soulmate on earth. He couldn't bear it anymore. A Vampire's Mate is something all vampires protect. It is what makes their existence bearable."

Biting her lip she looked at the ancient miko, "So...my going to the past..." She paused thinking of the green eyes filled with such pain, "It is my fault he ended up that way."

Midoriko gave the young Miko a sad smile, "It is...but I am going to try to fix this. The Gods agreed with me and are rewriting time for this. You only get one chance...so you better make it last."

Kagome could feel the world getting fuzzy and looked at Midoriko as she gave her one last smile, "Your new life awaits...everything is taken care of. When you wake up, you will be in the place you should have been at this time, had you not fallen down the well."

Everything went dark after that, Kagome could only hope things were better when she woke up. Maybe everything was a dream.

Just maybe...
