Trapped in Time

12:29. Sesshoumaru glanced at his watch. Whew, I'm almost late.Sesshoumaru was standing in front of Chocolate Café, his favorite outdoor café, the place where she would meet his fiancé for 2 years. Hmm I still remember the last time I were late… I spent two hours only to get her to talk to me… and another hour to hear her ranting about how she had run from her apartment just to see me in time, about how precious every second is when she is with me. Sesshoumaru allowed a soft smile to adorn her handsome face. She doesn't know how precious every second of my life ever since she accepted my proposal.

He walked in to the café, and then chose to seat on an empty table on the middle. Sure is crowded today. He called to ask for the menu from one of the waiters who passed beside his table, but she just ignored him. Hm? Maybe she is too busy with the other customer. No matter, Kagome will soon come.

Sesshoumaru looked at his watch again. 12:29. What? Why does the watch's glass broken? Did I knock on something when I enter the café? Damn. It's broken now. I have to fix it later. Now where is she? It is not usual for her to be late.

Sesshomaru waited for her, chose to spend his time by remembering her smile.

Kagome was walking down the street from her campus. Smiling all the way, thinking about his handsome fiancé. I will ask him to have dinner at my place today. I am getting better at cooking his favorite brownies and I will prove it tonight. She continued to walk, her mind was busy making plan for tonight dinner.

A crystal of snow fell on her nose. Snowing? So pretty, just like his hair. She opened her umbrella and looked at her watch. 12:25. Whoops! I'm almost late. She fastened her pace, not wanting to waste anymore time without his presence.

Snowing? Hn, she loves snow. Is she too caught up in watching the snow on her way here? He smirked a little. Maybe now it is my turn to give her a lesson about being late. Yup, a lesson that involves a lot of tickling.

Sesshoumaru watched the snow fell, thinking absently about things he could do to make him hear her melodic laughter later. But something odd startled him. Wait, is it just me or the snow is falling backward? He watched the moving snow closely. It is falling backward! The snow is going back to the sky! Doesn't anyone else notice this?? He scanned out the room and gasp. Everything around him is doing things backwardly. Like a replay from a video. What is happening?? He run outside the café, and then stopped in the middle of the road. He closed his eye, took a deep breath to calm his beating heart. Calm Sesshoumaru, calm yourself. You must be hallucinating! Then when he opened his eye, he saw her.

Kagome… smiled at his direction. He felt warm suddenly. Everything is alright as long as you're here with me, smiling for me. He reached out his hand, stepped forward to reach her. But from the corner of his eye he saw a car moving fast toward him. No!!! Kagome!! He braced himself for impact, but amazingly the car just passed his body. What?? Not a minute after that, Kagome was running also, passing his body. What the hell?? And then from behind him, he heard a loud crash.

Kagome arrived across the street in front of Chocolate Café, his favorite outdoor café. 12:29. Whew, close timing! Then she saw him running from across the main street on the right side of the café. She smiled watching him. He's running because he doesn't want to be late again. Silly man. Wait, that is reckless. Why is he not watching the road before crossing the street? "No! Sesshoumaru!!! Stay there!!" She ran towards him after a car had passed in front of her. But it was too late.

She heard the loud crash. She saw his body got hit by the car then fell on the road. And she saw blood on his handsome face. "No!!!" She screamed in horror, ran towards his body. "No, Sesshoumaru!!! No!!! This is not happening! Wake up!!!". She shook his body, grabbed his arm and noticed his broken watch. 12:29. She hugged him and cried uncontrollably. "No, no, no!!!"

Sesshomaru stood behind her, horror painted in his face. Here he stood, watching Kagome cried and screamed huggin… HIS DEAD BODY! No! This is not happening! I can't be dead! I have to be alive! I still have a lot to do. I must tease Kagome because she is late today! I must drink a cup of hot chocolate with her in my favorite café! I must ask her how was her day, what had she done in her campus, who had she met, and what will she have for dinner tonight. I must tell her that I love her everyday! And if I find my courage, I will convince her to marry me today! No. I am not dead. No. This is not . Sesshoumaru turned around, walked back to his favorite café.

AN: I just can't help it! I love this music video from Gackt and wonder won't it be great to materialize his feeling in to written text. Not good enough to picture his real feeling, but hey I'm still learning to write in English.

Btw I am really in need for a Beta to help me revise my story, Ultimate Sacrifice. I don't want to torture the reader with a bad grammar and wrong spelling. Please, if any of you interested or if any of you have a recommendation please contact me.

Thank you so much, and don't give up on me!!
