"Hey Miroku, you feel that?" Sango asked.
"Yeah. There are 2 very powerful auras, but one is really strog compared to the other. One of them also feels familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it."
After Miroku said that, both he and Sango got prepared for a fight just in case.
Just then there was a rustling in the bush in front of them, and out came…

Chapter 4
Just then, there was a rustling in the bush in front of them, and out came a cute little white rabbit. It looked around cautiously, its little nose twitching, before hopping off again.
Miroku and Sango quickly let out a relieved breath before going on the defensive again, waiting as the two powerful demonic auras got closer to their make-shift campsite. They tensed feeling one of the demonic auras coming to the break in the tree line of their small resting place.
"Guys! I have to tell you guys something really important!" Kagome urgently said to both Miroku and Sango as she broke through the trees.
Sango looked to her right where the female demon burst through the tree line. Getting out of her shock she exclaimed, "K-k-kagome?! What happened to you?! You… You're a demon!" Miroku nodded his head, not trusting his voice as he looked at the –now turned demon- Kagome; shock clearly showing through his easy to read facial features.
Kagome looked at her sibling figures, amusement clearly showing through her sapphire depths. "Well… as for stating the obvious, yes, I am a demon; and I'm heir to the Northern Lands." She showed them the pentagram that was hidden underneath choppy bangs, a small smirk on angelic face.
"Not that we're not happy for you Kagome-sama, but would you mind telling us how this all happened; especially seeing as we thought that you were from the future?" Miroku calmly stated, getting over his shock, though his eyes still held a small amount of amazement at the powerful aura coming off of his sisterly figure.
Kagome sighed inwardly, "This is a pretty long story… I only found out a month ago when my mother sat me down the last time I went to visit home…"
Flashback
"Kagome, come have a seat. I have something very important to tell you before you go back to the Sengoku Jidai." Kagome's mother, Kun-Lun, said with a somewhat distant look in her eyes as Kagome walked towards the table to take a seat across from her mother.
"Hai, Okaa-san. What do you need to tell me?" Kagome answered, curiosity shining through her sapphire orbs.
Kun-Lun sighed and prepared herself to tell her daughter about everything about them and their past and the real reason for why she was really able to travel through the well back to the Sengoku Jidai. Kun-Lun started off, gaining the distant look in her eyes again, "There once was this handsome demon by the name Hatori, he was the Lord of the Northern Lands and was a black-elemental-inuyoukai.
Whilst patrolling his land one sunny day, he came across some bandits, that were surrounding a woman. He hid his aura as he hid behind a tree, to observe what they wanted for a little, to see if he needed to interfere or not. The woman, he noticed, had the same amount of beauty as any high leveled youkai that he's come across as the Nothern Lord.
"Wench, give us your money, and we might just let you go." One of the bandits said to the woman as he sneered at here.
The woman gained an icy look in her eyes and said coldly, "No; leave before you forfit your lives."
"Looks like the little wench isn't going to listen heh." Another of the bandits said while sneering at another of his companions. "I guess that means that we'll just have to do this the hard way then." He smirked as they all slowly advanced towards the "helpless" and "defenseless" woman.
The woman got into a defensive stance as the slowly inched their way closer to her. One of the bandits quickly charged at her, as he came closer she quickly blocked his attack and sent his a swift kick to the side that caused him to hit a tree and fall to the ground groaning.
"Wench! How dare you hurt one of our companions! You're dead now!" With that the last three remaining bandits started to charge at her with anger showing in their eyes.
She just looked at them calmly and prepared herself for the attacks. She sensed the bandit coming behind her as he was just about to land his kick, but quickly moved out of the way, jumping over the bandit that was charging her for a frontal attack, and quickly sent him flying into the bandit that was coming at her from her right side. They both were sent to the ground in a heap, groaning in pain.
Hatori looked on at the fight with amazement and curiosity. 'How can this ningen woman have that much power and the knowledge to fight?!"
She looked towards the last standing bandit and said in the same icy demeanor that she had throughout this whole encounter, "If you want to leave this clearing without any injuries, I suggest you leave now," glaring as she said the last half of her sentence.
The last bandit looked at her with fear as he quickly turned hide and ran away "with his tail between his legs."
After the last bandit left the woman turned toward the tree that Hatori was standing behind and said, "Youkai, come out from behind there."
Hatori slowly came out from his hiding place with a small smile on his face. "Hello, my name is Hatori, Lord of the Northern Lands. How did you learn to fight like that?" His curiosity finally coming out.
"Hn, youkai. How I learned to fight is none of your business. However, I will tell you my name; it's Kun-Lun," she said while looking at him as if trying to assess him and his power.
"Well then Lady Kun-Lun, please allow me to show you some hospitality since it was on my lands that you were attacked by the bandits. Please, come with me to my caslte; you can stay there and rest for as long as you want." Hatori requested with a charming smile on his handsome face.
"Hn, that would be acceptable." Kun-Lun stated finally deciding that he wasn't going to try and harm her.
On the journey back to his castle they conversed and she slowly began to feel comfortable around him, and started to lose her icy demeanor she had when she first had met him. Once they reached the castle he gave her a tour of its grandeur and showed her to the room that she would be staying whilst she was staying at his humble abode. After he left her to freshen up, they had dinner together before they parted ways going to their respected rooms.
Her short stay had turned into a 5 month long stay, and during that time they had fallen in love with each other.
One afternoon while going on a stroll through the gardens, Kun-Lun glanced towards Hatori noticing his slight change in demeanor.
"Hatori, is there anything wrong?" Kun-Lun questioned, concern showing through her chocolate eyes.
"Huh? Oh, no; nothing of importance." Hatori answered trying to sound as if nothing were bothering him. Truthfully, he was a nervous wreck inside. He's been contemplating for the last couple of weeks when the right time to ask Kun-Lun to be his mate would be.
"If you're sure Hatori." Kun-Lun responded not fully buying his answer.
After a couple minutes of walking in a comfortable silence, Hatori quickly glanced over at Kun-Lun, watching as the sunlight hit her, making it seem as if she were an ethereal being. Quite suddenly, Hatori stopped; Kun-Lun noticing this stopped as well, looking at him questioningly.
After much debating within his head, he finally decided that he would ask her now. "Kun-Lun, these months have been some of the best in my long life. I don't really know how to say it, so I'm just going to do it," he paused before looking into her eyes adoringly, "Kun-Lun, would you do me the honor of being my mate, for life?"
Kun-Lun looked at Hatori with surprise before she finally realized what he had actually said, to say it all… she was estatic. Tears of happiness gathered in the eyes as she held his un-wavering gaze. "Of course Hatori! That would make me the happiest girl in the entire world!" Kun-Lun jumped into Hatori's awaiting arms, and everything felt right to the both of them.
Time Skip of 3 Years
A baby wail could be heard throughout the night, as a nervous demon pushed through the doors that had been keeping him from his wonderful mate, and their beautiful new child.
Kun-Lun had turned into a demon to give her the same lifespan as her mate. She turned to him and smiled and said, "Koi, come see our pup." With that Hatori quickly made his way over to his tired mate while the mid-wives quickly left the room to give the two some privacy.
Once he reached his mate he gave her a peck on the lips before turning his attention to his beautiful baby girl. He stroked his pup's cheek adoringly as she looked up at him with beautiful sapphire eyes. She reached for his fingers with her chubby little hands as she gurgled happily.
"Koi what should we name her?" Kun-Lun asked while looking at her mate lovingly.
"Kagome. Her name shall be Kagome." He answered as he smiled happily as Kagome played with his hand.
Time skip of 6 years
"Sessho-kun! Come on!" a young girl with black hair that was tinted with blue pulled along a boy who looked to be a year or two older than the girl. He grinned at her eagerness to go to the field of flowers to play.
"Slow down Kag-chan! The flowers are always going to be there!" He said as he allowed her to pull her along, smiling all the way.
"I know Sessho-kun, but I want to get there now!" Kagome replied as she pouted a little.
When they finally reached the field they immediately started playing tag.
BOOOM
"Kagome?! Sesshomaru?! Where are you?!" The panicked voice of Kun-Lun came as she came running towards them.
"Okaa-san! What's wrong?!" Kagome asked worried at the sound of her Okaa-san's voice.
"Kagome, Sesshomaru; we need to get to the castle now, we're being attacked by the Eastern Lord and his army!" She quickly grabbed both Sesshomaru and Kagome as she hastily made her way back to the castle where Touga and her mate were waiting.
Once they arrived to the safety of the castle, she quickly went over to the both them and gently put the children down.
"Touga, I need a favor from you." Hatori said while looking at his old friend with a look of dread in his eyes.
Touga, sensing the seriousness and catching the look of dread looked at his friend, "Of course Hatori. What is it that you require?"
"I need you to take Kun-Lun and Kagome to the old dried well in your lands that's near the human village. That well is a time-warp to the future. I got an old witch to enchant it, knowing that this time would come soon. You know as well as I, that I won't be able to fend them off." Hatori looked at his old friend then to his mate who had tears in her eyes as she realized what he was saying. Both of the children didn't understand what was going on so they just looked at the three adults in confusion.
"Hatori! No, you can't! What will I do without you?! You know how much I love you!" Kun-Lun said as she pulled him into a tight hug.
"I know koi, but it's the only thing that we can do. I want you both to be safe, and then when the time is right, you can come back to gain our rightful place again; but in order for that to happen I need the both of you to be safe and leave. Please." Hatori pleadingly said while holding his love.
Kun-Lun looked at him with sadness but understanding and said, "I will do as you say Koi. Please, know that I love you and will never stop loving you." As she said that she gave him the last kiss that they'd ever share, for they all knew the outcome of this battle.
Touga, with Sesshomaru in his arms, quickly led Kun-Lun, with Kagome in her arms, out through the garden and they sped off towards the magical well.
As they left, Hatori let a tear fall as he said, "Goodbye koi. I love you…"
After they completely left his view, he turned his attention to the army at his doorstep and left through the doors with his head held high.
At the Magical Well
Once Touga and Kun-Lun reached the well, they would both feel it's magical properties radiating off the decrepit well.
"Thank you Touga… for helping, and everything." Kun-Lun said while looking at him with sadness. They both put the children down as they talked. Sesshomaru went over to Kagome as they looked over to their parents. Kagome, sensing that something was wrong, looked at Sesshomaru with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry. Just know that if you need anything in the future, I will be here." With that said they turned their attention towards the children.
"Sessho-kun, what's happening?! Why'd we leave Otou-sama?!" Kagome said with tears in her eyes as she looked at her best friend.
"I don't know Kag-chan, but I know that we'll be seeing each other again… in the future." He said, his voice heavy with sadness at losing his best friend.
"I'm sorry children, but Kun-Lun and Kagome really must be leaving now. Sesshomaru, you'll see her again in the future." Touga said, trying to make both children feel better while trying to get it across that both Kun-Lun and Kagome had to leave now.
Sesshomaru and Kagome hugged each other for the last time. Pulling apart Kagome took off the necklace she had on and handed it to him; Sesshomaru accepted it without question.
"Onegai Sessho-kun. Don't forget me." Kagome said, tears falling from her face as she looked one last time at her best friend.
With that Kun-Lun gently picked Kagome up and jumped into the old well.
When Sesshomaru saw the blue light, he ran over to the well and looked down, only to find it empty, 'Kag-chan, I will never forget you. I love you…' With that last thought, he sealed his heart and put on an emotionless façade before turning to his father and leaving with him.
On the Other Side of the Well
Kun-Lun and Kagome were quietly crying together at the bottom of the well. After a while, she heard the noise of a door opening and looked up to see an old man looking down at her with shock written all over his face.
"Oh my…" He quickly helped her out of the well, where after hearing her story adopted her as her daughter after putting a concealing charm on both her and her daughter.
And that's what happened Kagome." Kun-Lun finished while looking at Kagome with un-shed tears in her eyes.
"So then Souta… he's a half-demon?" Kagome questioned with tears in her eyes as well.
"Yes, but he also has a concealing charm on him. The charm put on you hid your memories as a child, but it should be broken on your 18th birthday, and your memories will be slowly coming back to you as it gets closer to your birthday. On your 18th birthday, you'll have to come back here, where Souta and I will be joining you back in the Sengoku Jidai." Kun-Lun paused, trying to remember if she had forgotten anything. A look of realization came across her face as she said, "Also, the charm on you might break if you are under heavy emotional stress. Just keep that in mind, okay dear?"
To say the least, Kagome was speechless. All she could do was gape at her mom, with a look of shock on her face.
"Wow… that's… uhm… quite a lot to take in Okaa-san, but I understand." After Kagome said that, she gave her mom a quick hug before she said that she was going up to her room to think.
(A.N. what a long flashback :/ sorry readers!)
End Flashback
"Annnnnd that's what happened." Kagome said while taking a deep breath. 'Boy was that a long story… hn, and for some reason I thought it'd be shorter.'
Sango and Miroku could do nothing more but stare at her gaping like fish.
Kagome giggled lightly to herself at her friend's faces, completely un-aware of the look of shock on one demon lord's face that had lost it's icy-ness during the middle of her story.
With Sesshomaru
'It is her… I remember that day as if it were yesterday.' Sesshomaru thought as he looked at the group of shard collectors. 'I never knew that….
