Start

It was dark in the western palace, night had already fallen and all of the staff and guest slept peacefully in their beds, but that was not the case for everyone. Deep in the heart of the castle a light was burning in the Lord of the castle's study. Sesshomaru sat quietly at his desk not minding the stacks of paper that littered the surface and spilled over onto the floor. His silver hair was dull and unwashed; his normally pristine appearance had fallen into a scruffy unkempt look. His deadly pale and graceful hands were raised to his face and cradled his head. The picture was enough to break anyone's heart but he didn't care. A sigh escaped him caressing a name as it fell from his lips with love. 'Kagome…'

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

His love, his sweet Kagome. The one person he could intimidate and the one thing he longed for more than anything, even his father's sword. Sesshomaru had been beside her on the battle field when Inu-Yasha had been killed by Naraku, and had defended her while she gathered her powers and fired the final arrow to end the life of the evil hayou Naraku. He had wrapped her in his arms while she wept and silently cried when she selflessly wished for the happiness of her friends. He never understood how a person could be so selfless, and he almost fell to his knees in pain when she began to fade.

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

Sesshomaru sighed again as he put out the candle and walked down the cold dark hallways to his room. He stopped at the room across the hall from his own and walked in. In the large bed lay two children. The small girl named Rin, who he had saved and gradually come to love as a daughter. The other was a small kitsue named Shippou, Kagome's son. 'please take care of him…' her voice had echoed in his head that day and he had done well in caring for the child though it pained him everyday to be reminded of Kagome.

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life was overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

The silk sheets were chilly and smooth against his skin as he slid beneath them into his bed. The bed was far to large and empty for his broken heart, but he lay stoically as the night lead him into sleep and a single crystal tear slid from each of his eyes as they shut themselves desperately searching for relief.

In his dreams she was always with him; her satin hands running over his face in loving caresses, her smile dancing on the wind and enchanting everyone who saw it, her laughter rising with the heat into the heavens were it belonged. She would smile and laugh at him all the while she would hold him close to her. But dreams are just dreams and this night like so many nights before his dreams took a dark turn and reminded him of the truth.

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

In his dreams the sky grew dark and the Earth began to shake. His brother's voice ran out from the pits of hell were he rested with his dead lover. From the earth shoot hands of molten fire and death. Kagome pulled away from him and began to walk toward the hands, until the fire consumed and killed her. All the while his brother's voice taunted him 'she would rather die with me and live and love a heartless asshole like you!' Sesshomaru shot up in bed, his body soaked in a cold sweat. For all this dream seemed so real and wrenched his heart every night he couldn't help but love Kagome. As he lamented over following a human around like a kicked puppy he rose and walked to his balcony. Below the gardens of the palace danced in the night wind.

The wind that played in the flowers brought a soft voice to his ears as it cooled his heated skin.

"Oh my sweet Sesshomaru, worry not my love you will see me soon…."

For one brief second he swore that he could feel kagome's lips against his ear and it brought a smile to his face.

"I will wait for you forever, my love, my dear …Kagome…"
