Time is Relative by pclark
Prologue
Disclaimer: If I could have any wish I wanted it would be to own Inuyasha... Nah!... Only Sesshomaru and Inutaisho. But alas they are owned by Takahashi-sama.
Authors Note: This really just came out of nowhere. It just crept up on me and wouldn't let go.
Now in this fic. I have given fate, time, and love genders. Fate is female. Time is male (father time), and Love is both a male and a female (love is for both). Also I have Kagome older than 15 when she is drug down the well.
Kagome Higurashi sighed as she was held against the warm, hard, body of her new mate. She loved him so much. She had fallen in love with him before she had even met him. Everytime she thought about how Fate had entwined them together, she would smirk.
"Time is very relative." she thought.
Time truly was relative. It may keep the very universe in order but even it has small holes in its' weaving. Those holes are then extorted by Fate. Fate knew that time cannot control or confine love to one timeline. It can touch two very different beings in seperate centuries bringing them together, if it so chose. That was Kagomes' very story, her true love story.
Kagome Higurashi was just thirteen when Fate deemed her worthy for a certain male 500 years before her time. The only problem was... Time. Time didn't like being fair, neither did Fate. She was determined that Time wouldn't get to have his way, she would make sure. She was going to manipulate Time but needed a little help first. That help would come from Love.
Now Love was actually, two. Male and female, but answered to the same. Fate made her case known to them and they agreed to help her. After all she was Fate and knew what would happen if they didn't love each other. They would never find love with someone else and that made Love sad. Everyone deserved to find Love.
They knew that they couldn't convince Time to give in to Fate, so they would keep Time distracted and let Fate weave her magical web. A magical web that two starcrossed lovers could never free themselves from; leaving Time to have to bow down to Fates' wishes on the matter.
Yes, she was going to have her way for she watched Kagome and when she was fourteen, Fate decided to begin using the holes in Times' fabric. But until Time could be completely blind to her she had to settle for a sleep connection. Love did their best and it was a slow process to get Time distracted but then they were successful. Their success came in the form of a tragic love triangle of two hanyous' and a priestess.
The love triangle ended in the enchanted sleep of the dog hanyou, the disapearance of the spider hanyou, and the death of the young priestess, Kikyo, who held their hearts and a powerful jewel. Love didn't want to use them but it was the only way to get Kagome to the past; which was to get the jewel to find another protector.
If it had stayed with Kikyo it would have just passed from miko to miko when she died and never would have found its' way to its' true protector, Kagome. The dog hanyou, Inuyasha, would have been killed by the spider hanyou, Naraku, and the village of Edo would have been destroyed by the oni trying to find the jewel.
To keep that from happening they exploited the jewels' need to have a protector and Kagome fit the bill for power to be the protector. But first she needed to discover the past and to find the man to protect her and love her. Together they were to make the future better than what it was.
The minute of Kikyos' death in the past, that exact minute in the future Fate linked Kagome with her lover of the past. That night she began corrupting the fourteen year olds dreams. Dreams that were filled with a man she had never met, filled with feelings she had never experienced for a man, and made her want to meet the man and experience every one of those feelings that she dreamt about.
Fate had fun messing with her dreams, but she also had as much fun messing with his.
The Inu-Lord, Sesshomaru, was a self-proclaimed human hater. It all stemmed from his father. The Great Inutaisho had left his eldest sons mother after he was born and laid with every other woman but her. Human and demon alike. Then the Inutaisho met a human princess, Izayoi, her name and he fell in love.
They soon had Sesshomarus' half-demon, half-brother, Inuyasha. The very night he was born, The Great Inutaisho died, protecting Izayoi and Inuyasha fromTakemaru of Setsuna. He had killed Izayoi and Inutaisho brought her back with his sword the Tenseiga. The last thing his father done before he battled Takemaru was name his second son, then he died.
His retainers, Myoga the flea, Totosai the sword smith, and Saya the sword sheath spirit, came to the very place he died and unburied his swords. He had left instructions that if he died they were to distribute his swords to his sons. He left specific instructions as to what to do with Tetsusaiga and Tenseiga, but not for So'unga.
He instructed that Tetsusaiga, the sword of man, was to be left to his son Inuyasha. Only Inuyasha was not to know about the sword until that time was right. Myoga followed the instructions and had his friend Hosinki make a magical black pearl which was to be the gateway to the Inutaishos' grave. The pearl was placed in Inuyashas' eye.
His other sword, Tenseiga, the sword of Heaven, was left to his eldest son, Sesshomaru. His instructions were for Totosai to give it to Sesshomaru but the coward that he was, he pushed the responsibility off onto Bokuseno, the two thousand year old tree demon.
He was also a friend of the Inutaishos'. Totosai left the sword dangling from the top of Bokusenos' face with a note that said, "For: Sesshomaru." The poor tree thought that was his last day alive and really couldn't blame Totosai for not wanting to give it to Sesshmaru, himself.
He was sure that Sesshomaru would have killed him the moment he gave it to him. Sesshomaru had never wanted Tenseiga, it was a sword of healing, that he didn't know. He had never seen his father use it but he had seen him battle with Tetsusaiga and So'unga. He wanted power and they held power.
Sesshomaru cared not for anyone or anything, his goal was supreme conquest. That was the main reason why Fate chose him to mess with and then she read his future against Kagomes'. She had seen them fall in love and Sesshomaru changed for the better, he was still a perfect killer but he finally had something worth protecting to kill for besides useless and meaningless kills to feel the adrenaline of the battle and to gain power.
The very night she made her assault on Kagome she declared war on his dreams. He was stubborn and very experienced so his were more intense than those of the innocent little miko. It took her months to unlock his emotions and desires before the dreams, but she did it and the results were just what she wanted. She wanted him to want and love the miko before he even met her.
Whereas she had Kagomes' dreams with them meeting, becoming friends, doing things that friends do, then slowly evolving to lovers, going on outings, courting, and then finally married. She had Sesshomarus' beast pretty much rattle Sesshomarus' cage after the first few dreams, it demanded for him to find his mate, his mate of the future.
As was stated earlier he was stubborn, so she had to make an appearance in his dreams to convince him that these were not merely dreams, they were his path to his mate and that he couldn't fight her on the matter. She of course won. Not just the argument but won on the end that he would fall in love with her before he even met her.
Now that they were in love with each other she was determined to get them together. The right opportunity came when Kagome was 18. It marked several occassions; Kagome was old enough for her era to get married, the tamas' creator was now trapped exactly 1000 years inside of the tama, declaring that her purgatory had been paid for her mistakes, and the 200 year old seals on the old shrines' well were finally weak enough to break.
Then on a Saturday the shrines' well house was to be painted and Kagomes' grandfather asked her to clean out the well house. Kagome did as he asked, gathered her supplies and went to the well house. She was beginning to clean when she heard a creaking sound coming from the well.
Curiosity got the better of her and she went to listen closer. When Kagome pressed her ear against the side the top burst off. A bunch of ghost like arms came out and grabbed her, dragging her in.
