Chapter Twenty: Last Kiss: The End of You & I

For the pass two weeks Sesshomaru had been absent for all his classes, and not only that he stopped talking, calling, and even texting, Kagome. It worried Kagome. That she had not seen her beloved in so long. She was beginnings to worry about their relationship as well. Was he trying to tell her that he didn't want to be with her anymore. That he found some one else worthy of him. It made Kagome sad all the time that she felt this way. Yes, she did love him ever so much, but why was he doing this to her? It was something that could only be answered by him.

"Hey Kag! Wait up!" someone called out to her. Snapping out of her thoughts turning to see Amy, Sango, and Ed right behind her. "Hey you guys!" she said, in a fake cheerful voice. Ed looked at her with a frown, and asked "Is everything alright, Kagome? Are you worried about getting into college?"

"No"

"Then what's wrong, Kagome? You should be happy were almost out of this hell whole!" Amy said, cheerfully.

"I know.."

"Kagome...?" Ed asked, but was cut off by Sango. "Hey, Kagome walk with me. Ed we'll meet you two later ok?" Ed nodded, and then they both walked off. "So, what's wrong?" asked Sango.

"It's Sesshomaru.." she sad sadly, with her head down.

"Is he still not talking to you?"

"Yes.."

"He hasn't been really saying much to Miroku either.. Well, from what I know he isn't." Sango told her, as she patted her back.

"I just don't know what to do.."

"I don't know either... I'm sorry Kag. If I knew more I would be able help you out, but truly I don't." she said, as she embraced her tightly, "It will all work out you'll see."

...two days later...

Two days have passed by and still no word from her love. She didn't even see him, and the worst thing was Mr. Tuner was taking over for him, but she refused to be his assist. So, decided to quit. When she had gotten home from school that day. As she was pulling her books out of her bag. Her iphone feel onto the carpet. Looking down at it she saw that she had a missed call. She picked it up, and listen to it. It was from Sesshomaru.

"Hey Kagome, we need to talk. It's something really important. Meet me at the park at 8:00pm tonight. Goodbye."

Kagome looked down at her phone, and said "Is that it?... No, I love you?" she said out loud. She the began to cry. She knew where this was going he was going to end it with her. He didn't want her anymore. She couldn't blame him. I mean she wasn't very pretty, and she was a lot younger than him too. So, she would have to wait. Until 8 o'clock tonight.

8:00pm

Sesshomaru was standing underneath a great big tree. His sliver hair blowing in the cool wind. His golden eyes were filled with despair. He truly did not what to do this, but it had to be done. He took a deep breath as he saw her heading his way. Her long black hair blowing in the wind. She looked stunning. He just wished he could give her one last kiss, but he couldn't. He couldn't risk it.

"Sesshomaru?" She asked, in a sweet voice.

"Kagome..."

"You said, "we needed to talk"?... but before you say anything. I must know where have you been?...Why have you been ignoring me?" she asked, him almost with tears.

"...I just needed time to myself.." he lied, but she didn't know.

"Oh.."

"Kagome... I'm sorry. I just don't think it's going to work anymore. We're playing with fire, and we need to end it." he told her, it pained him to see her this way. The sadness that was written all over her face. He stepped a little closer. She looked away from him, and spoke in a sob, "You knew what we were risking..so why end it now? Why, didn't you end it before? What was it..? To get with a student?"

"N-no, No. Kagome, it's nothing like that. You have to believe me.." He said, as he held her into his arms. She tried to push out of his embrace, but could not. I love you... Was what he wanted to say, but could not. He couldn't risk it. He just couldn't so he just held onto her tight, and whispered, "I'm sorry.."

As time passed them by they continued to hold onto each other like so. They were holding onto what time they have left with each other. Holding onto their love. Sesshomaru then did the unthinkable and kissed her with passion, and desire.

As seconds became minutes, and minutes turned into hours. Days and turned into weeks, and week so became months had passed since the last kiss they shared. Now Kagome Higurashi had turned eighteen, and was graduating from high school. All the seniors where behind a red curtain. Waiting for their names to be called out by one of the teachers. She held a smile on her face, because just recently Mr. Turner was caught having sexual relations with a male student. Whom dropped out of school, because of all the embarrassment, and it was none other than, Kyo Kobayashi. Who had been trying to get into her pants, but never did. As they called out all the names. It didn't shock Kagome very much not to see her sister, or family, or any of her friends there. Well, other than Tina, but she stopped being her friend when she dropped out, and became a stripper.

Kagome had to laugh, about this, because of became of "The Sexy Si-well, Five" was being strippers, or gold diggers. Tina wasn't the only one who changed for the better so did

Inuyasha West had changed his ways, and was actually a decent guy to hang out with, but she could never date him. When Kagome's was called, she walked up and looked out into the crowed. Of course she saw her brother, her cousin; and her boyfriend, and daughter, and great-grandmother.

"Kagome Ann Higurashi!"

Her name was called her heart pounding so hard she could barley breath. As she shook hands with her teachers she then walked down the steep, and there he stood. Watching her. He smiled at her, and then frowned like he remembered something, and then left. She tried to run after him, but she was then told by someone to sit back down, and wait until everyone was called. By time everyone was called and everyone threw up there hats. Kagome ran out into the hall where Sesshomaru would be, but he wasn't there. He was gone. Kagome almost began to cry, but then a hand rested on her shoulder turning she saw Sango, and the rest of her friends where there with her. She smile, and thought to herself. Even if Sesshomaru isn't in my life anymore... At lest I still have people here with me..

Looking over her shoulder she saw her family waiting for her on the top of the steps. "Come on. Let's go, a new story begins for us!" Said Amy, in a cheerful voice.

"Yes, let's... and get on with our lives." Kagome agreed.

There standing on top of the steps was Sesshomaru. Watching the love of his life walk away. A part of him told him to run out, and kiss her in-front of everyone, and then a part of him told him to let her get on with her life, and she'd be better off with out him.

That part listen, and he walked away. Was is it? Would they ever see each other again?... Who knows, but some how he felt like they would.. Show how, and someway..

—The End–-
