How does one say goodbye to someone who thinks you hate them? How do you say goodbye to the one you love more than life it's self? The irony of it all..is that he'll never know my true feelings even after I'm long gone from this world. Closing my eyes I can picture his face in my mind's eye. Long glossy silver hair slightly tousled by the wind, with two white dog ears poking through the tops of his hair, and the most beautiful golden orbs you will ever set your eyes upon. He's feisty, stubborn, and undoubtedly spontaneous in everything he does. When he believes he can do something there is no stopping him until the task is complete. I love everything about him he's unique, one of a kind.

I only wish I could tell him how sorry I am for all the insults I have pelted him with over the years..but I had my reasons. One being that he is in love with an undead miko, and her reincarnation. Where would that have left me? The villain of course, I had to make him stronger, he was far too weak to go up against Naraku. It was my duty as a an older brother to protect him, even if he never knew it.

My thoughts are getting muddled, it must be close to the end. To think the great Lord of the Western lands Sesshoumaru..dying on the battle field alone. Talking to himself none the less. I've never been afraid of the concept of death, it's inevitable in all life cycles. May it be ningen, youkai, animal, or plant. But..I can tell you this for sure, I was definitely not ready to go it alone.

"Sesshoumaru!" Yelled someone.

That voice..it sounds familiar, it's far away. I can't see a face either..I feel calmed by it somehow. I wonder why that is..

"Onigai! Sess-Sesshoumaru wake up!" The voice cried out sounding more desperate. Who ever it was they were shaking him.

I can't place it..who is calling me? Everything is dark here. Am I dead?

"GOD DAMN IT SESSHOUMARU OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES!" The voice yelled cracking at the very end of the sentence, followed by sobs.

Something wet..I smell salt..is someone crying?

"Nii-chan(Big brother)..onigai…onigai…open your eyes?" Whispered the voice.

Nii-chan? Inuyasha? Why would Inuyasha be…here? And crying? For me? Sesshoumaru's eyes opened half way and a blurry image began to appear. "I..nu..yasha..?" He Rasped out coughing up blood.

Inuyasha's eyes widened. "Sesshoumaru.."

Sesshoumaru barely became aware of being on Inuyasha's lap. His younger brother's arms wrapped protectively around him.

"I…just got here..an-and I s-saw you so..injured.." He said shakily. "I felt as if my heart had been ripped from my chest…Sesshoumaru…what happened?" Inuyasha asked as he wiped the access blood from the side of Sesshoumaru's lips.

Sesshoumaru merely smiled a small weak smile. "Protecting what I love the most, my only regret is I never get to spend my live with them.."

"Who Nii-chan?" Asked Inuyasha as he ran his fingers soothingly through Sesshoumaru's blood stained hair. Tears silently slipping down his cheeks.

Sesshoumaru lifted a shaky pale hand to Inuyasha's cheek and brushing away stray tears with his fingers. "Aishiteru(I love you) Inu-chan.." Was Sesshoumaru's reply as the fatally wounded youkai closed his eyes for the last time. His hand fell to his side.

Inuyasha's eyes widened in horror. "Sesshoumaru! This isn't funny! Onigai you've only j-just t-told me!" He sobbed. Inuyasha leaned down and brushed his lips against Sesshoumaru's faint warm ones. All the while his tears falling onto his older brother's flawless face. He pulled back slowly closing his eyes while hugging Sesshoumaru's bloody corpse to his chest, "Aishiteru Nii-chan, I always have and always will.."
