Okay so here I go! Well to start of this is my first FanFiction story thingy ever. So like I know I don't like to read some of the author's notes at the begging of stories so I am just going to get started after I say this:
KAGOME IS NOT AND WILL NOT BECOME A DEMON IN THIS STORY!!! Also Sesshoumaru is a little bit out of character but I will try to keep him to his normal ways.
With that said lets begin.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter 1: In The Flower Field
She sat there staring at the forest wanting to know its secret. 'They know so much. The history of these lands are imbedded in there roots. They are so full of wisdom, yet they can not say a word. They know more then my texts books I can tell you that, and they could even teach me more than my own teachers.'
As a single tear slid down her cheek, she wiped it of and stared at it like it was a strange thing from a different land. Then she remembered why she was here. Four years ago to this day she was attacked and pulled down the Bone-Eaters well in her family's shrine. She thought it was the most terrifying day of her life. She thought she would die, never to see her friends or family again. But she meet someone that day. Even though he was full of threats to kill her, she was happy he was there. But she saw something no one else did and they still haven't. She saw sorrow in his eyes. His amber eyes calling out for something, but never able to reach it. Calling for comfort but never able to be touched. He hid his sorrow behind his arrogant attitude trying to throw everyone off, but as the years went bye he let down part of his shield for her and she saw some of that sorrow go away.
'That bastard I should kill him for what he did too me. He crushed me with out even felling a little bet of regret of what he was doing. Right now that Son of a Bitch is mating with her. The one who always got in are way. The one who took half the jewel shards after trying to kill me and gave them to the enemy. The one who try to drag him to hell with out him even noticing and almost try to kill him once or twice. Yes that one… Kikyo. When the jewel was complete I gave it to Inuyasha. I knew what he wanted and I was going to stick by him no matter what. But noooooo… that bastard wished that Kikyo could have her own soul and to be alive so they could have another chance. Sure I was happy that I got the rest of my soul back, but I know that I was now out of the picture for good.'
'You know its funny as I set hare under the Gods Tree alone in the dark. I would have been fearing for my life a couple of years ago. But not now. 'She chuckled a little and smiled 'It's strange, the power I have gained while I was here. And no I am not a demon nor will I ever be. I asked my mom, grandpa, and even did some research back home about any miko that went missing during the feudal era. But nothing came up. I am extremely happy with my new powers. One of them is that I can make any weapon I want out of thin air. We were in the middle of a fight when I ran out of arrows. I was freaking out wishing I had more when out of no where an arrow formed in my hand. I didn't question it then, but I wondered about it that night. I sat by a lake staring at my hands thinking of a dagger. Then out of now where there it was. I threw it into a tree across the lake because it startled me. After freaking out thinking oh my gosh what just happened. I finally calmed down a couple minutes later and just stared at the dragger now way across the lake. I started thinking how am I going to get the dagger back. I wished it would come back to me or else I would have to walk all the way around the lake. Then all of a sudden it came out of the tree and shot towards me. I started freaking out because I was too shocked to move. Then like I have been doing it my whole life I caught it in between my fingers. I was staring at it shocked and then it vanished when I wished it gone.
I was so thrilled about this power. I mean like who wouldn't be. I could use any weapon of my choice but my favorite ones are daggers and swords.
Another power I learned while battling was my barrier power. I did not have to practice this because it instantly became second nature to me. And what the cool thing about this power is that my barriers are more powerful then any other miko barrier. I can control mine to do what ever I want it to. For example this one is so cool I call it the invisible miko barrier. I remember doing it the first time. I was kind of scared at first but when it was done I was like 'WOW'. First of all (stating the obvious) it's invisible so the demon thinks you're vulnerable. Then when it touches the barrier the miko energy rushes through it and purifies it to ashes. 'She giggled a little bit.'
Another thing I really love about the barrier it is kind of like a way of transportation. Kind of like how Kagrua has her feather but not as flashy. I can make the barrier flat and move it with my mind. Like what I can do with the weapons I make. I usually go for a 'fly' like 10 or 20 minutes a day just to fell free and let all my troubles go away. Sometimes I make a little path in the sky and just walk.
Another power I have most mikos have this too but my works on anything. The power of healing. Only some miko can heal wounds but I can heal anything. From people to nature and everything in between. Just a touch of my hand they are healed and a kiss on the forehead and any scar they have is gone. While I have been here in the village I helped the sick and brought the dead crops back to life to help them with the harvest for later. 'She smiled at the thought of helping others.'
Last but not least, this I do not know why I have it but I can turn my finger nails into steel sharp razor blades. It hurts every time but only for a moment. Then when I turn them back to normal I heal the wounds they made and clean of the blood. I don't use them that much because in that split second of pain they hurt like hell, but they can cut through anything.'
As a giant yawn ran from Kagome's throat. She got up and stretched. 'Wow it's been five hours. Better go back before Shippo and Kaeda get worried.' Kagome new that two people would be to busy mating to even notice that she was gone.
"Ha who needs them any ways." Sango and Miroku on the other hand are at the demon slayers village restoring it with help from other people from other villages. They have been married for four months now and Miroku was overly happy when Sango suggest that they start to try and make kids. Giggles came out of Kagome's mouth and an evil grin spread across her face.
'Hmm…. I think I am going to go to where every thing ended and began tomorrow. I just need to clear my head.' As Kagome headed back towards the village at a 'slower – than – a – turtles' pace she thought about Sango and Kohaku. He died during the battle and she buried him with the rest of her family and villagers. She also thought about Sango and Miroku's and Inuyasha and Kikyo's relationship. They found love in each other and wondered if she was ever going to. She gave up her life in the future with no regrets. To even be sweet to her family of why she's not there she wrote a letter to them. First she covered the will, taped the letter to the cover, and then put a sutra on the will with a barrier to cover it up that would come down 500 years in the future for her family to read it. It stated how sorry she is that she left them, and to not cry for her because she was happy, and to live life to the fullest. She knew they would be sad but this was her life and she would live it the way she wanted to.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE NEXT DAY ON THE WAY TO THE PLACE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kagome was soaring high above the trees letting the wind blow her silk like hair out of her face. The cool breeze on her legs made her feel cooler on this extremely hot day. She changed her look once she decided to stay here. Kagome wore a simple baby blue kimono with a white obi to hold it in place. Unlike the women here who's kimonos would come down to their ankles, Kagome liked to let her legs breath and wore kimonos that came to right above her knees. It was also easier to run and fight in. She wore kimonos like that during spring, summer, and fall. She told everyone that she would where the winter kimonos when winter came but it was only spring and until then don't worry. She didn't wear shoes sometimes because she liked the feel of the hot or cold grass under her feet.
'Ah – ha it's coming up' the place where it all ended and began. It was were the battle with Naraku happened. 'It was weird, I was getting water for the morning when out of no where Naraku showed up. Then like everyone popped out of nowhere. First Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kirara, and Shippo showed up. Then on the other side of the field Sesshoumaru and Jaken (leaving Rin far away at a safe distance) came out. Then came Koga, Hakkaku, and Ginta. It was weird that they were ALL there but the more people against him the better.' Kagome did the most graceful flip in the air. She landed on the ground in the most graceful way as one foot touched the ground then the other slowly following the other. There she looked at the most brilliant flowers ever. But it was not always like this and at the same time it was. Kagome walked towards the stream running straight through the field. Kneeling down next to the stream she stuck her hand in and wiggled her fingers.
'Just as I remember it. I bought this area back to life after the battle. I wanted the flowers to keep there beauty. The way they were before Naraku showed up and everyone slashed the earth apart.
Everyone was a little bit weak. Some where even on the ground half awake. Even the great Lord Sesshoumaru was leaning against a tree. I don't know why but I felt like I could go run a marathon. I don't know why but when the sun is up I feel like I am just full of energy needed to be wasted. While everyone one was sitting there I put my hands on the ground as it glowed yellow the ground started to turn back to normal and every ones energy was restored. I even gave Sesshoumaru back his arm. I don't know why but I felt bad for him. I mean I wouldn't want to go around with just one arm. Would you? Later that day while everyone was resting I told them I was going to get some water which I did but took a little detour on the way. I know Sesshoumaru was still there and I wanted to see what his reaction was to the arm because he didn't notice it in the field. When I saw him ask himself how it happened and why he looked like a lost puppy.'
She giggled about her last thought as she got up to go sit down at the base of a tree.
"Ha Ha Ha"
'Hey I know that laugh'
"Hurry up master Jaken or you'll be left behind."
'Ah so the honorable Lord is here, but not as close as the kid' At that thought the same kid came bursting through the bush followed by the imp and the dragon.
"KAGOME" Rin screamed with her high pitched voice.
"Hey kid" Kagome said calmly.
"What are you doing here human" Give you a guess at who said that. Yup none other than the nagging imp Jaken.
"Nice too see you to." Kagome's words dragged out in sarcasm.
As he was about to say something else the ground started vibrating slightly and then violently.
SWOOSH
"Ahhhh" A hand burst out of the ground and grabbed Rin. In less than a second Kagome jumped across the field while putting all her miko powers into her hand. She gracefully landed in front of the demon and before he could react she touched him and purified hem in less than a second as Sesshoumaru was coming into the field with Tokijin just in time to see all of it. Kagome caught Rin, set her down on the ground, did a flip backwards and landed where she just was minutes ago. Sitting back down Kagome was fully aware of when Sesshoumaru came and to the field and that his glare was fixated on her. As she was sitting back down she put her hands to the ground and healed the whole where the demon came out of.
As soon as the ground was healed Rin ran towards Kagome and jumped/ hugged her.
"Thanks for saving Rin." Rin squealed in happiness as Kagome hugged her back.
"No problem kid." Kagome explained as she picked a pink flower and put it in Rin's hair.
"You should go back to your Lord." Kagome suggested as she nodded toward his direction and scooted Rin in that path.
Once Rin started walking away Kagome closed her eyes, crossed her arms right under her chest, and bent her head forward a little bit.
Kagome was shocked when Sesshoumaru asked, "What are you doing here?" in a voice that use to scare her, but not any more.
"Sitting and thinking" She said not even bothering to look at him.
"Where is my little brother?"
"I think he is still mating"
"So he chose her over you"
"Yup" She said in a happy voice still not looking at him. He stood there looking at her wondering why she seemed so different from when they first met.
As he was thinking she knew he wasn't going to leave her to be with her thoughts, so instead of getting into a fight she got up and started to walk away but was stopped when Rin asked,
"Are you going back already?"
"No, I probably won't go back for a couple of days now." But before she could even continue leaving Sesshoumaru said,
"Miko"
Which startled her for a moment before she turned around and looked straight into those beautiful orbs of gold and said, "Yes"
"This Sesshoumaru needs to speak to you, Alone."
"Okay"
Sesshoumaru was a little taken back by how she agreed so easily but didn't show it on his face or in his eyes.
"Jaken" he said in a monotone voice, and the little imp new what the one word meant.
"Come on Rin." Jaken said as he grabbed hold of Ah- Un and stared walking out of the field with Rin. Leaving Sesshoumaru and Kagome alone.
Kagome was staring at the spot where the figures disappeared, but Sesshoumaru was staring at her. 'What is so different about her?' 'Do you not sense her power? It has grown since the last time we saw her.' 'I know that. I sensed it when I came into the field, but she seems happier like a weight has been lifted of her shoulder.' 'Sesshoumaru it sounds like you care' 'I don't.' But before his inner demon could strike back he said,
"Miko"
Being snapped out of her own thoughts. She turned and faced the Demon Lord. "Hmm…Yes"
"You healed the ground right?"
"Yyeess" She dragged out the yes in confusion.
"And you did that before after Naraku died?"
"Yes" she said more strongly guessing where this was going.
"You returned this Sesshoumaru's arm?" It was more of a statement than a question. She just nodded in response.
"Why?" He said in a tone that she didn't know if it was either mad or curious. But she answered truthfully.
"As I was restoring the land and giving everyone their energy back I looked over at you and thought how you get through life with one arm. I knew it didn't bother you. I think," she said that part in a whisper, "but I knew I could restore it so I did. I mean I wouldn't want to live with one arm and I don't think any one would. Even if they are the most powerful demon lord and has been and still completely as independent as ever since their arm was cut off." Kagome looked off into the forest as she was explaining her actions.
'Sesshoumaru I think she just complemented you' 'I know'
While Sesshoumaru was thinking this Kagome got very nervous and started to walk off not even looking at the Demon Lord to see his expression.
'She's walking off. Stop her.'
"Miko"
She froze in her tracks. Slowly turning around she whispered, "Yes"
"Do you like your life here?"
So shocked that he even asked a question about her life she forgot how to speak.
Getting very irritated that she hasn't answered Sesshoumaru said, "Miko"
"Oh. Yes. Sorry, um … I don't know. I like my life in this world compared to where I use to live. This place is freer and I love my action- packed life, but if you are talking about my life with that idiot. THAT I can do with out."
"I have a job open as Rin's nanny/ protector. She is getting older and needs a women type mom in her life. She seems to like you and your – "
"I accept. Oh sorry I didn't mean to cut you of but I accept the job."
He just nodded his acceptance of her acceptance towards the job offer.
"Come" he said in his monotone voice sounding like he didn't care if she did or not, but truly he was relieved when she immediately started following him after he said come. Although he would never tell anyone that.
