Author: Dark Void Princess 21 (DVP21)
Summary: What if Kaname was never engaged to Yuuki and had someone else he desired. He meets Kagome in the Feudal Era when he is just a kid and meets her again after her journey. And what's more is that there is more to her than meets the eye. The Higurashi's are her adoptive family. Her 'mother' was good friends with Kagome's parents who were vampires? How does this change everything?

Chapter One

Kagome was walking through the forest angrily. Inuyasha just had to go off running to Kikyo again. She gave up on him already, but it would have been nice if he at least acknowledge her and help find the last few jewel shards. Lately everything with him was Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo! She couldn't take it any longer.

Walking into a clearing her anger changed into worry as she saw a young five year old boy looking up at a large demon at least five times his size. He had really dark brown hair, and he just stood still neither yelling in horror or moving to escape.

"Watch out," yelled Kagome as she ran to the young boy. "Run!" He still didn't move.

The demon had a long tail. He swiftly moved it to attack the child. It would have hit him too if it wasn't for Kagome. She ran in front and wrapped her arms protectively around him taking the full blow of the attack. The hit was such an incredible force that it sent them flying into a tree where Kagome once again took the hit still holding on tightly to the boy.

As the demon approached them, the five-year old's eyes hardened not that Kagome saw. Before he could do anything, Kagome made a bow and arrow from her miko ki and fired it at the demon, so he turned to dust. She had finally took her training seriously and had accomplished a lot.

However, she knew the truth. Her miko powers solely come from her being the possessor of the Shikon no Tama. She was really a- She shook her head. She shouldn't be thinking of those things. No. She didn't want to think of those things.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the small boy next to her whisper in a low voice. "Sugoi."

Kagome turned to face him. The miko kneeled down on one knee to face the kid directly. It was then that she notice the colour of his eyes. They were deep mahogany. Kagome almost felt herself get lost in his eyes. Luckily she caught herself. "Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"

Kagome could tell in his voice of his response that he was trying to speak with authority. He did really well. The only thing that held Kagome back from thinking this was his previous expression and the fact that he was a child. "You were the one that took the attack. I should be asking you the same."

Kagome brought him into a hug. His head at her chest while she stroked his head soothingly. "Arigato for worrying about me." It was nothing but a soft whisper. It had been a while since anyone even acted like they cared. The boy had a soft blush on his face but it disappeared as fast as it came. "But it's alright. He didn't even leave a scratch." Which wasn't totally true. She did take some damage. Only she already healed herself in the short amount of time.

Kagome released him and stood up. She dusted herself off.

"You should hurry back home," continued the time traveller. "I should be taking my leave as well."

Kagome turned away and took a step on her way to leave. Well that was the plan until Kagome felt a tug on her short green skirt. Looking back she took notice that it was the kid holding on to her uniform. He said one word yet it sounded demanding. "Stay."

Kagome kneeled on one knee again to face him. She mentally sighed. "I'll help you home. Do you know the way?" He nodded. "I'm Kagome by the way."

"Kaname." Kagome sweat dropped. For a kid he wasn't being very talkative.

She offered him a hand. "Then come on Kaname."

For a moment he just stared at her hand before finally taking movement. Instead of holding her hand, he walk right up to her person and wrapped his arms around her neck clearly wanting to be carried. Kagome found it cute, so she gave in.

Kaname had his arms wrapped around Kagome`s neck. His head was at the crook of her neck taking in her sent. She smelt of roses, lavender, and fresh, clean rain. It was intoxicating and addictive. For just brief moment his eyes flashed red.

They started walking through the woods.

That's the chapter. I found it while I was looking for a different file. I changed my original thought for a bit and decided to post it to see if anyone was interested in reading it.

I want to try and write shorter chapters 800-1600 because I will be able to update faster. I could do that or I could do a review system like I saw someone else do. For every review I will write 100 words. Depending on how many people read this I might raise the amount of words.

So please give me your thoughts. All you writers out there know. If the readers don't seem interested it is a large downer.

So please review! ^^

Here is a preview for the next chapter:

~Kagome finally finds Kaname's house. It was much larger than other houses she saw in the Feudal Era. He must have been from some high class family. But why would he have been in the woods alone?~

~Kagome's eyes widened lost in her own world. After Hearing the names Juuri and Haruka, she whispered, "Kuran."~

~Kagome looked down. "My father. He and my mother sacrificed themselves for me."~

Just a little sneak peek of what I plan on adding. A few more chapters in the past then moving to the present to Cross Academy.
