AN: Hey FanFiction community

This is my first story! I'm excited about it

This is a Love Story, full of action, comedy, and especially full of love/romance. Maybe some other stuff too. The rating for the story might change but no spoilers :)

Just a little info about this story. This has some of the characters from Inuyasha and some OC's.

About the story set up. There is a war going on between the demons and humans. Most of the humans are against the demons but some are on the side of the demons. There is a small community that doesn't have a side, period and they are located smack dab in the middle between demon country and human civilization. They trade with everyone and don't discriminate, and therefore are very prosperous. But our story begins in the borders of human civilization where the people of the military class rule. I hope i provided enough information if you still have questions just ask!

Please forgive the mistakes. I typed this on a nook.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA!

Now let the story begin...

Wooh that was a lot. :)

Prologue:

Colors of red orange, yellow and blue lit up the night. The country was all aglow, the peoples of one small city cowering behind what was left of their homes, taking care of what was left of their families. It was finally over.

Charred bodies littered the fire eaten grass, horses untethered stood over their fallen masters. The corpses of demons slowly sank into the earth returning to the mother that had altered them so.

Those brave enough to venture out from their shaken foundations found nothing but death and fire; the perpetrators dead or just gone, the survivors, number unknown.

Somewhere in the forest beyond the desecration, a wisp of silver and close to the speed of light, a young demon ran, the body of his beloved wrapped in his own haori clutched to his chest. He ran, on and on, and on and on until he broke the tree line, an ocean of black staring back at him. Dawn would soon approach and the black would soon turn into blue.

He finally stopped, gently placing the small body on the soft earth facing the ocean.

"Open your eyes. We are here." A baritone voice urged as he gently nudged the woman in his arms. A slow flutter of lashes and a sharp breathe alerted him that she was now awake.

"Sesshomaru, I'm so tired." A weary voice whispered. The demon called Sesshomaru looked down at the woman, her hair the darkest ebony which once reached pass the small of her back was now shorn off to the nape of her neck and her skin which was once, a long time ago pale was now deeply tanned and burned and there was a thin sheet of sweat covering her whole body.

The scents which were once absent now crashed upon him all at once. The smell of wet sand mixed with smell of salt from the ocean, the smell of the trees behind him and some other scent. The scent he had had no trouble sensing before all the times he had fought on the battlefield, the metallic scent of blood.

"You are bleeding." His beast growled out between his teeth. The woman shuddered at the cold voice.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you." She whispered again, the pain now apparent in her voice.

"Tell me."

"I can't..."

"TELL ME!" Sesshomaru yelled, red overtaking his golden orbs. He gripped her arms and she cried out in pain. He immediately reigned in his beast. "Please." he cried on the verge of breaking down. Blue eyes gazed up at him, watering.

"It was Naraku. He had my sister." She choked as the tears finally spilled over. "I couldn't let him take my sister!"

"Where?"

The woman struggled to raise an arm but failed. "He stabbed me with my sword and used a weevil demon." Sesshomaru fumbled with the haori trying to remove it but a soft voice stopped him.

"Don't."

"This Sesshomaru must remove it."

"It's this Sesshomaru again?" She smiled the best smile she could give under the circumstances. "You should not worry, I already removed it, and I don't want you to see it."

"I must." He grabbed for the haori again.

"NO!" She screamed with a surprisingly unwavering voice as she finally managed to pull herself up. The smell of her blood grew more prominent to the point of overpowering the earth and the salt.

"I must heal you."

"You can't!" She cried. "I'm dying. I'm dying Sesshomaru. You have already saved me more than what I deserve. I should have been dead but you saved me. You have done enough. I just want you to hold me. That is the only reason why I am hanging on. Just hold me...please."

The two sat in silence. The girl was facing the ocean, Sesshomaru behind her watching her silhouette.

The girl finally relaxed as she felt two powerful arms snake around her waist pulling her to a broad chest and heat. She slumped against his body finally taking in the scene before her.

Far off they could both see the sun dawning over a changed country. "You always said we would go see the ocean."

Sesshomaru looked down at the blue eyes looking up at him. Her eyes smiled along with her lips as she turned and looked as the sun continued to rise.

"One day Sesshomaru, demons and humans will live in peace. They will even get married and have children. There won't be any more fighting." She coughed a wet cough, blood peeking from the corner of her mouth. Sesshomaru wanted to reach down and wipe it from her lips, to take away the thing that signaled her approaching death. How had he missed it, the scent of blood? How could he have missed it? His beast yelled at him in his own mind. He had killed his own mate because he couldn't detect that she was injured.

"Sesshomaru?" The voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hn." It was all he could manage.

"Don't blame yourself. I covered it with a special herb; there was no way for you to detect it." She paused letting him take it in. His beast raged against him. "There is but one thing more I would ask of you." She continued. "If you would, please burn my body and scatter the ashes into the ocean. My sister always had a fascination with the ocean, although she has never been, something about seeing the world. I hope she gets to see the ocean... It's so blue..." the voice was barely a whisper.

Sesshomaru felt the body in his embrace go still, the heart now stopped. The sun was fully up now the waves still crashing against the cliff. He gently laid her body on the ground; her face was one of serenity, a lone tear still sparkling on her cheek. He kissed the tear and then her lips. He would do as she asked.

He stood and looked at the ocean it was as blue as she had said but not as blue as her eyes. He would never forget her.

Kazumi.

As Sesshomaru stepped out of the clearing a song bird took up her death song. It was one full of hopes and devoid of regrets.
