Chapter one
Love…I don't think there's a person alive who can actually say they know exactly what it is. I know that it's precious while it's there and painfully gut wrenching when it's gone. Sesshomaru had not only been my best friend, but also a wonderful person who taught me lessons when he thought HE was the one learning. I learned from him that no matter how terrible your life may seem, there is always someone who can make you smile again…and do the right thing. Thinking back on it now…I'm wondering if he did do the right thing…

My love…my life…was gone! I remembered every detail, every toe-curling heart-wrenching moment of the day he died in front of me. I was never able to think strait after that. All I remember after that moment was flashy lights and a lot of yelling. My mind screamed when Sesshomaru was hoisted away from me.
No…God, please give him back, please! Don't take him away! I lost him already can't you see that! PLEASE!
But my body refused to move. I couldn't lift myself from the ground as I lost view of my dead lover. My eyes were burning with tears mixed with rain. My entire body was drenched with water and blood.
He promised…
I hated it! Nothing in the entire world could have been worse! I felt so stupid! This was what he did! He did it for me! But to be completely honest, I would have rather gone through the torture rather then have him die, even if I were to die in the process! I thought about that…then he would be even angrier then I was…mostly because he knew he could have done something to prevent it…but that wasn't at all untrue for me.
I felt hands grip my shoulders and Inuyasha's head gently touch my bad. His whole body shook. Mine was completely still. I wanted to hold him, hug him, make him know that everything would be okay. But it wasn't! He had lost so much! He'd lost his home, his dog, his mother, his father (the sleazebag) and now one of his best friends…the only person he could really take comfort to. His brother. Now I was the only one he knew would understand and I didn't even turn to look into his eyes or make any comforting gesture…though I could tell that's what we both really needed.
Finally, I turned around to see Inuyasha's face drenched in tears, his eyes blood red and his hand to his mouth trying not to cry out or maybe get sick. I flung myself onto him and cried hoarsely into his shoulder…he did the same.
When we had finished crying, I looked over to see Sesshomaru's body being zipped up in a body-bag, but I had missed it. He was already in the large truck. My heart ached to see him just one more time. To feel the warmth of his face; his smile. I knew Inuyasha would probably never smile again after this. Images flashed back to me in a rush at the incident.
"Kagome, what do you want to do tomorrow?"
"We can see a movie, it's the sequel to the one I really like, so we have to go see it."
"Yea…we should defiantly do that…"
"It's a promise then. We have to see the movie tomorrow."
"Yea…"
"Sesshomaru…I…I love you."
…he promised…
I choked. This was the worst day of my life! And I wanted it to end! I just wanted it all to end! If I ended it now, maybe I could still see him again!
A large part of me knew that was anything but the answer. I honestly hadn't realized how much I loved him. Not until he was gone. Had I known that the last time I kissed him would really be the last time, I would have never stopped. I would have never let go! I wanted so bad to hear what he wanted to say…I knew he loved me…but…he…
My tears started up in full again. Inuyasha got up and was talking to one of the people who took Sesshomaru to the ambulance. I heard stuff like, "Victim" and "Relationship" and "Who did this."
My body trembled. I was completely paralyzed. I couldn't move. I felt Inuyasha lift me up and carry me. This guy…he was like a brother to me to. I knew he would take care of me, but more then anything, I wanted to comfort him…Sesshomaru wasn't my brother after all…he wasn't the only person in the world I could relate to. Inuyasha was probably scarred for life…and all I could do was cry silently as he carried me home.
OOOOOO

Sweet oxygen filled my lungs finally! I gasped for breath and coughed out blood. For the first time in what seemed life forever, my body was losing its ghostly chill. I cracked open my eye to see a bunch of ambulance guys surrounding me…Inuyasha.
I smiled. Just barely in time. Something in my mind clicked.
Kagome!
I searched frantically without moving my head. Every part of me was no longer numb and I felt immense pain crash through my senses. I wanted to grit my teeth, but they stuck a mask over my face and I was out in seconds, forgetting any pain or suffering at all…just precious sleep.
Kagome's Profile
Inuyasha had left around midnight when I finally opened my eyes in my mothers lap. My head turned and a worried glance met my eyes. My mom smiled and tears slid down her face.
"Kagome, I'm so sorry honey, I know you love him and I'm so sorry he got hurt…" My mom could be so sweet sometimes…hurt, that was one understatement. My love was dead. I loved him just enough to skip denial.
"Inuyasha told me that the doctors said he may not make it through the night…" My eyes snapped open.
"Make it…you mean he…he's alive?" My heart jumped with such unrestrained happiness I wanted to scream in delight that just a little sliver of hope was in my grasp and all I had to do was reach out, grab it, and hold on for dear life!
"Mom, drive me to the hospital!" I shrieked. I was already up and running to get my jacket with new found energy.
"But Kagome, it's midnight, visiting hours are long past over! Plus he needs rest!"
"You said he may not last through the night! That means he's alive NOW and I can talk to him NOW! At least one more time and I don't care if you're my mother or my freaking guardian angel I will run there myself to see him again! My mom was speechless. I thought she might yell at me for talking to her like that, but she just got her keys and ran with me to the car.
When we got to the hospital, the doctors and nurses were reluctant to let me in, but knowing that Sesshomaru was unlikely to live the next day, they obliged and walked me to his room.
When I got there, I had a sick feeling. This was really my fault. I looked at his form lying on the white bed with countless chords and tubes attached to him. Bandages were all over his body and my eyes swelled with tears. I hoped against hope he would wake up so we could talk…just one more time. There was a mask over his face with oxygen flowing through it keeping him breathing. I hoped there wasn't a tube down his throat as well.
I stiffly walked over to his bedside and sat in a chair next to it. I knew that if I had to, I would stay here all night long. I hesitantly touched his hand and my heart skipped a beat at how warm he was…compared to just this morning. I could hear the rain outside, it was faint, but still going.
Suddenly, he stirred and coughed. A raking feeling slithered down my spine. His breathing soon returned to normal and his eyes fluttered open…those precious molted gold eyes. He squinted and shifted in his bed. I wondered if he even knew I was here. I lifted myself above his face and he slowly placed his tired gaze on my eyes. He slowly removed the mask and gave a small sigh. I couldn't help the smile that crept on my face.
"Now…now I know I'm in heaven…" he said weakly. That nearly made me cry…again. I blew out breath like a small laugh but mixed with choking. He smiled and lifted up his bandaged arm and ran his thumb across my tears, whipping them away. He smiled at me.
I gently bent down and brushed my lips slightly over his. A breathy moan was let out and I smiled. He was so strong. He gently tugged my lips back down with his teeth before I moved up and sucked softly on my lower lip. I swear that was the most romantic yet sad kiss I've ever had. I was surprised with his strength. He was actually able to kiss me and they said he wouldn't last the night…I hoped he wasn't pushing it. I cupped his cheek in my palm and gently glided my tongue across his top lip. He smiled and pecked me a few times before resting his head back on the pillow. I wiped my eyes dry and sat next to him still holding his hand.
"So…do you think maybe we can see that movie as soon as I get out of here?" he asked in a throaty, tired voice. I almost laughed.
"As long as we see it at some point, it's perfectly fine."
He smiled and closed his eyes. Nothing in the entire world could have removed me from that spot…at least…that's what I thought at the time.
OOOOOO
Weeeel? You guys happy now? I know you all hated how I ended it last time, so here we are again! Sequel time! R&R!
