Destiny Meets Death

Third Person POV

It was another wonderful sunny day in the modern world. Kagome Higurashi woke up only to be surprised to see herself lying in her own bed. " What the-!"

" Kagome, get up or your going to be late for school!" She heard her mother call to her. She ran downstairs and looked at her brother and grandfather eating breakfast.

" What am I doing here? I'm supposed to be back in the Feudal Era!" Kagome shouted to her mother.

Her family gave her a strange look. Her mother walked over to her and placed her hand on Kagome's head. " You're a little warm. Are you feeling all right? Maybe you should stay home from school today."

" No I'm fine. I need to eat. That's probably all it is." She smiled at her mother. What happened? One minute there was a strange light and the next I'm waking up in my own time. And no on remembers me traveling to the Feudal Era. I wonder if I can still go down the well

Kagome grabbed her bike and then grabbed her backpack from her mom. " I'll see you after school!" She shouted as she rode off.

At the shrine, Kagome stared into the well. " Please let me be able to go back." She jumped down and looked up. She was still in her time." No. I can't go back. This isn't fair! Inuyasha. Sango. Miroku. Shippo. I miss you guys already."

Kagome climbed out of the well and looked on last time at it. She wiped a small tear from her eyes before going back to her bike and riding off to school

Once at school, she saw her friends talking to a girl with long black hair. She looked familiar, but Kagome couldn't figure it out. " Hi guys. Who's-Sango!"

" Kagome! Oh my goodness. I can't believe it's you!"

" You guys know each other?" Ayumi said

" Yeah, Sango just came here. How can you know each other already?" Eri said suspiously.

Kagome and Sango looked at each other and smiled. " Sango's an old friend."

" We met each other a while back."

Kagome's friend shrugged and went on with their lives.

At lunch, Kagome spotted a silver haired boy without his cap on. " Inuyasha! What are you doing!"

" Kagome! Hey what's up? Don't worry about it. The humans don't know I'm a demon. They can't see the dog ears."

" That's weird. How's your brother doing?"

" He's slowly getting over the fact that he's never going to see Kagura again."

Kagome sighed and let sadness over come her. " Well I'd be sad if I knew I would never see you again. I was scared I wouldn't because I couldn't return back to the Feudal Era. Sesshoumaru feels that way because he cared for her just like we care for each other."

" Well he's not the type to care."

" And you were never the type to care either." She smiled. Inuyasha snorted.

They were joined by Sango and Miroku and ate lunch together. Kagome smiled. " So how do you guys like my era?"

" It's fun and the girls are so pretty."

" Some things never change do they?" Kagome giggled.

Sesshoumaru wondered the halls of the school. He thought about what Kikyo had said about the other incarnations being around. Would that mean Kagura's still alive?

He shook his head. It was impossible. Kagura was gone and there was nothing he could do about it.

Sesshoumaru's POV

The only thing I'm regretting is not saving Kagura when she had first asked me too. She would still be alive if I would have. I just never expected to grow these feeling towards her. I thought she would only be Naraku's incarnation, but she turned out to be more. She was a friend to me and now I would die before I would let her die, if she was still alive.

I sighed and walked into the lunchroom and sat with my brother and his friends. I didn't want to talk to them, but Kagome kept on asking me questions.

Finally it was the end of school and time for us to go home. My father came to pick Inuyasha and me up. He had come back as well as most of the other demons and humans that had died in the Feudal Era. I refused and decided to walk through the park for a little bit.

It was sunset and I had been sitting at the park since school had ended. All I could think about was Kagura. As much as I tried to get her out of my head, she always came back.

I decided to be heading back home before it got dark. I stood up and began to walk before someone walked straight into me. It was a young girl with black hair tied into a ponytail. She fell to the ground and dropped her books and papers. "I'm so sorry. Sometimes I'm such a klutz and I don't pay attention to where I am going."

She didn't look up once as she picked up her things. I decided to help her. " It's alright." She still didn't look up.

" My name is Kagura." I stopped moving. Kagura? Her name was Kagura. Of all the ways someone could torture me this was the worst. Of course she had the name of the woman I loved. Why couldn't I have ran into a girl named Kurenai or something? It had to be Kagura. (A/N: Sesshy's being sarcastic for those who couldn't tell.)

Kagura looked up at me and I finally saw her face. She had red eyes. She had Kagura's eyes. Is she really the Kagura I knew? " Sesshoumaru?"

Third Person POV

Kagura and Sesshoumaru stayed staring at each other before Kagura wrapped her arms around his neck. " Sesshoumaru! I missed you so much. I thought I'd never see you again. Sesshoumaru was still a little shocked to see Kagura was still alive, but he got over it and returned her hug.

" Kagura, I'm sorry."

She pulled away and stared into Sesshoumaru's amber eyes. " Why?"

" You we're killed and I couldn't save you."

" Don't think about it. I'm here now, right? So nothing from the Feudal Era matters anymore. I mean, even Naraku's changed."

" Naraku's alive?"

" Yep. But he's nicer now and he actually takes care of all of us."

" And by all of us you mean…."

Kagura giggled. " Me and the other incarnations."

" …"

It was quiet for a while before Kagura stood up. " I should get home. Naraku would freak out if I'm late."

Sesshoumaru stood up after her and handed her the last bit of her books. " Really? He's protective of you now, isn't he?"

" Like any other father should be. Sometimes it's annoying as hell, but it's better than him abusing me if I was late."

" I guess so. I'll walk with you."

" All right." She smiled.

The sun had completely set and Kagura and Sesshoumaru had talked about all the things they missed out on. When they got to the house, Kagura turned to Sesshoumaru and smiled. " Thanks for walking me home. I'm glad we got another chance to be together."

" What do you mean?"

She leaned over and gave him a light peck on the lips. " You know what I mean. You do remember what you told me back in the Feudal Era don't you?"

" I can't say I do."

She sighed. " My, my how quick we forget things, my dear Sesshoumaru. Remember, after you had left your brother's place you told me you loved me."

Sesshoumaru blushed very little. He did say that. " Kagura I…well"

" You probably don't feel the same way anymore do you." Her voice saddened, but she looked at Sesshoumaru and gave a sad smile. " That's all right. At least I can see you as friends."

" It's not that Kagura, it's just….I missed you and seeing you now…."

" It's ok, Sessh. I understand perfectly well. You just need time to think. I can wait." She was about to open the door when Sesshoumaru pulled her into a kiss. She was shocked but quickly got over it and returned the kiss. Sesshoumaru pulled away from her and smiled. Kagura smiled back. " I knew you would never turn me down."

" Kagura, I know it's a little late for this, but I don't want you to get hurt anymore and I promise I will do everything in my power to protect you."

" I know and I know you'll keep your promise. That's why I want you to take me out Saturday night."

" This Saturday?"

" Yep. Why your not busy are you?" She giggled and wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest.

He smirked and ran his fingers threw her hair. " No, I'm not busy. I'll pick you up at seven."

" All right. It's a date then."

The door opened behind them and Hakudoushi came out. " Kagura has a boyfriend! Kagura has a boyfriend!"

" Hakudoushi, you little devil child get out of here!" She slammed the door and blushed nervously at Sesshoumaru. " Heh, little brothers, what can we do with them?"

" I know the feeling. I should get going. My father will get worried. I'll see you Saturday." Just as he began to turn around Kagura grabbed him and pulled him into a kiss.

" Don't be late."

" I never am."
