Chapter 1

What would she do?

As a 24 year old onna with long black hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful smile, she was told that she could melt the coldest heart with just a smile. She is a young girl working her way through college, majoring in archeology and living alone.

She kept up with her Miko practices because she learned that with time her powers got stronger and more dangerous to her and those around her if she did not learn to control them. At first she thought her title as the Shikon Miko held no such extra strength but she was wrong. She should have realized that the gods would not give her such a task without some enough protection. She could do all the things a normal Miko could do and some other things Miko's could not do.

The training started off as dreams where she would dream she was being taught different things about her powers and how to use them. Because of her curious nature she decided to see how true those 'Dream Lessons' were. To her utter surprise and delight everything was true. Every night till her twenty-second birthday she would receive a lesson and every morning she would try it; practicing all she had learned over the years.

She assumed it was the jewel teaching her the new powers to make her a better guardian. The one thing she had a problem with was how the jewel was born within her; you would say destiny. She was destined to go to the past, to love and lose, but to still live and to love again.

She had moved out of the shrine a year after the well closed, when she turned 18. The memories were too hard on her; she could not live there anymore with the depression that made her want to die. When the final battle came and with it Naraku's defeat they had completed the jewel. Kohoku already having been dead a week prior. Kouga the prince of Ookami gave his shards up without too much of a fight. She knew the moment the jewel completed, that was the last time she would see her friends again. She could not even attempt a wish, because the jewel went back where it came from.

When she began to feel herself fade she took one more look over the battlefield at her friends and allies. "This sucks," she said with a bitter laugh turning everyone's attention to her. She heard several gasps before she continued, "I guess this is good bye, huh?" Tears streaming down her face as she looked at the people who became her family. "I wished I had a choice to stay. I did not want to leave you; you all mean so much to me. Please don't forget me." she looked at Inuyasha with sadness in her eyes, "I love you Inuyasha," she said quietly.

Inuyasha looked at her with shock, horror, sadness written on his face as he watched her body start to fade before his eyes. He looked into her eyes as she told him she loved him. Joy, pain, and sadness shot through him. "Kagome, I...I love you too," he said desperately watching her as she faded from sight. He dropped to his knees and let out an anguished cry; he lost yet another love.

Inuyasha's sad face and pained cry was the last thing she saw and heard before waking up in the well on the other side. She was 17 and lost in life. She lost her sense of completion. She lost her sense of duty. She was young and in love, but ripped away 500 years from that love.

What would she say if she learned that all she went through was just some sort of sick test, to prepare her for her future?

What would she think if she learned that her so called 'dream lessons' were really preparing her for what was to come?

What would she say if she learned that destiny will be leading her to another road, alone?

What would she do if she learned that she was needed in the past again?

What would she do if she was summonsed once again to change the future?

What would she say or do if she was given the choice to save the youkai species?

Would she save all youkai, and along with them insure her youkai friend's life's in the future?

What would she do if she was told that saving youkai could mean she would never be born in the future?

Or would she just sit back, let them die, and along with them her friends?

What would she say if she learned that her true destiny would take much more from her?

Would she still be destiny's child?

Or would Kagome just say 'Fuck it'?
