Three Months Later

Kagome's other senses kicked in and her family had gotten her a seeing eye dog which of course she named Sesshomaru since he was very protective of her. She learned his ways and they connected well, they did everything together, ate, slept, he even laid in the bathroom floor while she took a bath. Sometimes she had temper spells because she felt like a burden on her family, she couldn't have a normal life, a normal job or even get an apartment because she still hadn't grown accustomed to her new lifestyle.

She couldn't go back to her old high school with her friends, she had to go to the special school that centered around blind students. There she learned out of text books that had brail in it. She picked up on a lot of different skills, typing on a brail keyboard was one of them, which she got really good at, they also taught fighting, she learned to 'see' with the use of her other senses.

In the past

Sesshomaru had help Sango and Miroku get on their feet because Kagome had wanted him to take care of her family of course he knew she hadn't meant to give them money that they needed to rebuild Sango's family's demon slayer village, she had just meant to help them out by letting them stay in the castle until they had their place built. They had come to an understanding that once they had their village back no one would touch Sesshomaru or Rin and Shippo or even Inuyasha who had lost Kikyo when Naraku was killed.

Sesshomaru even let Inuyasha stay in his home and offered him a place on the council, Sesshomaru had accepted Inuyasha as his brother, not half brother but a brother, of course they had their arguments such as brothers do but Sesshomaru taught him how to fight and how not to waste his energy in a fight, they dueled from time to time even, and Sesshomaru grew to be impressed. They had held a ball for Inuyasha, he was of royal blood, at least half of royal blood anyway.

Inuyasha had no interest in the demonesses even if it meant becoming a ruler in their land, he longed for simple times, he felt more human than demon anyway. When the little girl that they had saved from the village grew up Inuyasha courted her with Sango and Miroku's permission of course, Sesshomaru had already told Inuyasha that half the castle was his as well and so Inuyasha winded up mating Kuniko and had a mating ceremony. Sango and Miroku had had a dream wedding at Sesshomaru's castle in the beautiful gardens with Rin and Kuniko as bridemaids and Inuyasha and Sesshomaru as groomsmen, they had let Shippo be the best man.

Again Sesshomaru gave them some money as a wedding gift, but they had got married before Inuyasha, they had got married a year exactly to the day that Kagome had left so she would also never be left out of their special day. They had even made her the maid of honor, and when Sango was to hand her flowers to the maid of honor she gently laid them on the ground beside her where Kagome would have stood, for Rin and Shippo it still hurt them that their mama left, but they were happy that Sango had made a place for her and had remembered the one person who was the root of their happy family, she had made a huge impact on all their lives, the biggest impact was on Sesshomaru's life.

His mind wondered all the time, what was she doing, had she found someone new to love, if her eye sight was still intact which he hoped it was because she was so full of life and never had a chance of her own life just responsibility to protect the cursed jewel that had caused so much trouble. Of course he grew jealous and selfish when he thought of her being with someone else, but he had never gotten a chance to actually tell her his feelings, he didn't even, no he couldn't admit it to himself that he had some sort of feelings toward her.

Now he could feel pain in his chest, an aching feeling of sort, he wondered if this was what humans called heart ache. Then the unexpected happened, humans brought wars, Kagome had talked about this with him, he even read her history book it had said that these human wars would wipe out the demons from all lands and since Kagome had told them that there were no demons in her era he knew it must be true. She told him to get everyone to safety, to hide from them, he figured it was because she wanted to see her family again, or at least what would be left of them.

He growled to himself, he wouldn't lose his pride to a bunch of filthy humans, but he would for her, he rounded everyone up, his maids, Rin and Shippo who had mated, Inuyasha and his mate, his guards, Jaken, Ah-Un had still been alive and he got him out telling him to run and hide and stay hidden till he came for him. Ah-Un trusted his beloved master, he had treated him well and he had loved Rin and come to love Shippo just as much, so he flew off knowing of a nearby deep cave where he could hide in the bottom of. Kagome had given Sesshomaru a big duffle bag full of things for emergencies like this.

He still had room for some clothes but they had to get going, they still had to hit Sango's village because he still protected Sango's relatives. He threw his gold into the bag, Inuyasha grabbed the swords for Sesshomaru, he made sure Rin, Shippo, and his own mate were out, he found Sesshomaru stock piling his gold into the duffle bag.

"Come on damn it Sesshomaru, we have to get Sango's kids out of there, ya promised!" Inuyasha shoving him out. They ran to the underground tunnels to Sango's village, Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and his guards got everyone out and into the tunnels.

"Keep up, be quiet, war is upon us, this Sesshomaru will not stop for anything or anyone, he is leading you to safety, trust him as you have trusted Sango and Miroku," Sesshomaru in a loud booming voice. Sango and Miroku had passed it down to the family that Lord Sesshomaru was to be trusted, he was a great ally and a friend and was to be known as Uncle Sesshomaru to those who were family.

His guards headed up the back with Inuyasha making sure they didn't harm any of the humans but tried to hurry them along the best he could. When Sesshomaru got out of the forest he could smell Ah-Un's scent leading the way to the nearby cave but it was at least a mile for the humans, it would be tricky.

"Alright, there is a nearby cave however, it is a mile for humans to travel, be light on your feet, be quiet but be swift, my guards are required to protect you, however, that does not mean to take advantage of them, follow me closely," Sesshomaru strongly in a monotone voice. They followed Sesshomaru but their children were having trouble keeping up, Rin grabbed two children, Shippo grabbed another two, Inuyasha grabbed two and Kuniko, his mate grabbed two there were still a few children left, one fell behind,

"Mama!" the kid cried out, a guard swooped the kid up,

"Thank you s-sir," the kid shaking a little.

"No problem kid, hang tight we gotta hurry," the demon guard explained. Finally everyone made it to the cave safely. Everyone was exhausted as they huddled down in the depth of the cave. They all thanked the demon guards, Sesshomaru and everyone else for getting their kids and themselves to safety and fell asleep. Centuries passed, Inuyasha had died surrounded by his loving mate and their kids, grandkids, and their kids and great grandkids, Kuniko lived on, not taking another mate, she made her home with Sesshomaru, Rin, and Shippo. Now they had made it to the modern era.

Present Time

Sesshomaru had become a successful businessman as well as Shippo. He had encouraged his maids and a few of his guards to find something they would enjoy doing and get paid for it. Some became doctors, some nurses, some worked under Shippo doing computer networking, Shippo had made his fortune in creating new technologies. He was responsible for high speed internet, bringing in more fortune. Sesshomaru preferred getting dressed up nicely everyday and so he became the best lawyer in Tokyo.

Rin of course taught children for a while but she had to switch professions since she never grew old on the outside. She was now a professional photographer, also Shippo bought her a little restaurant she had loved to eat at so much, of course the old owners still maintained the place and Shippo paid them to run it though Shippo and Rin lost money but they were more than happy to help the elderly couple out.

It was at this very restaurant that they all bumped into someone, someone familiar. Sesshomaru had got up to go to the bathroom, when a dog growled, he looked down at the German Shepherd which had some sort of a rig set up on him, the poles led to a handle to where the dog's owner was holding on,

"Oh, I'm sorry, please forgive me, he usually isn't like this, Sesshomaru, come on, that's not nice," Kagome slapping the dog on the nose.

"I'm sorry miss, there's no dogs allowed in this restaurant," Sesshomaru explained,

"Oh, um, actually I cant see without him, he is my seeing eye dog, I'm blind," Kagome softly.

"I'm sorry, I had no idea," Sesshomaru coolly, over the years the wars and the diseases that the humans had brought upon them had turned him cold again.

"Um, I'm sorry again," Kagome softly, Sesshomaru her seeing eye dog led the way out as Kagome obediently followed,

"No, mama cant be blind," Rin gasped, Kagome was out of hearing range and Shippo sat stunned with his mouth opened a little,

"That was the girl that saved me?" Kuniko asked.

"Kaede saved you, Kagome and I found you, she cleaned you up and got you to safety," Sesshomaru coolly.

"How is it she is blind?" Rin confused,

"It must have occurred when she wished the jewel away, the bright light must have blinded her," Sesshomaru rumbled.

"Hang on, how could she be Kagome when this happened so long ago? Shouldn't she be dead?" Kuniko confused,

"In this era to her it may have been a few months, you should eat before your food gets cold," Sesshomaru getting a migraine. Shippo started started tearing up,

"Sweetie, oh, honey, she's okay," Rin hugging her mate,

"How can you say that, she is blind! She cant see damn it!" Shippo shouted.

"Rin…." Sesshomaru rumbling a little louder,

"Come on sweetheart, lets get you home," Rin getting him by his hand and getting him out of the restaurant.

"Shippo, please, you have to calm down," Rin rubbing his arms,

"I cant, you saw her Rin, she is blind, and… and that bastard in there acted like a royal jerk! Like he had never been in love with her! I should give him a piece… wait, I smell her," Shippo moving quickly in the direction of Kagome.

"You cant just go up to her, what are you going to say?" Rin asked quietly.

"I'll tell her exactly who I am, who we all are, she'll be so happy," Shippo explained.

"You'll just make her sad, she's blind, if you tell her who we are she'll be so sad that she cant see us," Rin softly. Shippo stopped in his tracks,

"She's our mother, I have to help her," Shippo being defeated.

"We'll find another way, maybe we can find a way for her to see again," Rin explained as she took a pouty Shippo home. Sesshomaru sat there for a few minutes, his mind racing of the past,

"Hey brother," Kuniko trying to get Sesshomaru's attention,

"Hn," Sesshomaru coolly,

"Did you not love Kagome once upon a time?" Kuniko asked.

"Yes, it was foolish of him to do so," Sesshomaru getting the check from the waitress,

"How so?" Kuniko confused,

"She was not from our era, she left once her job was finished," Sesshomaru softly.

"You both are here now, you could mate her and you wouldn't be in so much pain anymore," Kuniko explained softly,

"I have no use for a blind mate," Sesshomaru not discussing his relations or lack thereof with a human to Kuniko, Inuyasha's mate.

"Excuse me, if you were really in love with Kagome even in the past there would not be anything stopping you from rushing to her side now, after all, there must be something she feels for you, she named her seeing eye dog after you, he is her eyes, without him she would be lost in this world and she clearly trusts her, if you want to be stupid like Inuyasha was and break her heart, I'll hate you for the rest of our lives, I'll never forgive you if you give up on her now," Kuniko walking out. Sesshomaru knew why he wouldn't see Kagome, it was the soul purpose of her leaving causing him pain and the rest of her family pain, he couldn't forgive Kagome for that.

Few weeks later

Kagome decided to trust herself and took a big leap and filled out an application for a job at Shippo's office building no less. A couple days later Shippo found her application, he was so excited, she had always been smart and she had computer skills, well mainly typing skills but she could help come up with new things for blind people. Shippo personally called Kagome,

"Can I speak with Ms. Kagome Higurashi?" Shippo asked,

"Just a moment, may I ask who this is?" her mother asked,

"This is Mr. Hashimoto, I'm calling about the application she put in with my firm," Shippo explained.

"Oh, hold on I'll get her," Kagome's mother laying the phone down, a few minutes later,

"Hi, this is Kagome Higurashi," Kagome picking up the phone,

"Hi, this is Mr. Hashimoto calling about your application, can you come to my office tomorrow for an interview?" Shippo asked.

"Oh, um, sure, yes sir, I can be there, thank you Mr. Hashimoto," Kagome excitedly, they hung up.
