"Sesshoumaru! Please come back to me!" I cried hard, watching as the love of my life faded into the depths of his dark and blood-thirsty soul. "Please! Return from the dark! I know you can! You're strong Sesshoumaru! Come back! I love you!" My eyes never left him. I wanted him to come back. There was a heavy burden in my heart. I felt as if I was the one that brought him to his doom. My tears became heavier.

"Sesshoumaru! Please!"

Anything I did, he still couldn't hear me. His eyes changed colors from their normal golden tint to a blood-red. His canines grew, longer and sharper.

Thoughts ran through my head. Many thoughts. As one thought raced through my mind, I realized that was the only things to let him do to me. The only way to wake him up.

I stood there with courage in my heart and a smile on my face. The only way to awake the one I loved. . . was to sacrifice myself for his freedom. The smile on my face never faded, neither did the tears. I looked at the hungry creature that took the place of my love, snarling.

"Take me." I said with all the love and power in my heart. "Take ME! Bring back my Sesshoumaru!"

The creature grabbed me vicously, shaking me harshly. His claws sinking into my arms, blood running down them.

"TAKE ME YOU BASTARD!" I screamed with everything I had. This is what I wanted, even if it meant me dying. I just want him to be free of the demons that lay inside him. Fresh tears streamed down my face as the creature began to gouge my neck with his teeth. Crimson life liquid streaming down my neck, onto my clothes, and eventually all over my body.

The pain began to fade, and so did the light. My heart beat was beginning to die, and so was I. I smiled weakly at the weeping man that held me in his arms. The creature was no more.

"I love you, Sesshoumaru." I smiled weakly at him, gathering all of what little strength I had. "I always will be by your side. No matter where you are. . . I will always...be...with...you."

I watched the darkness creep over my eyes, taking the light away from me. My lips touching his softly before the light faded and the darkness crept in.
