"He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not…" Kagome contemplated to herself as she plucked the pedals of a flower, one by one. She had been doing this for an hour, the fifteenth flower she had been plucking. The helpless pile of pink pedals scattered around the sitting girl, rotting as minutes went by.

Faint whimpers and cries could be heard in the background from where Kagome was. She rolled her eyes and ignored it as she continued her process until she plucked her last pedal. "…He loves me not-- He doesn't love me!" Kagome yelled, feeling a mixed emotion between anger and hurt. She stood up from the burgundy leather chair and stomped on the dying pedals with her feet in rage.

She now turned her head in irritation, as the cries grew louder from her temper. She cursed uncontrollably as she walked toward a small crouching boy who was held by his mother, trying to shush him from crying. Kagome observed them, who now had a look of fear in their eyes as they noticed Kagome towering over them.

Kagome smiled. It was how the mother held him in his arms, slightly cradling him from side to side; so sweet, she thought. Love, was what it was. Love. She remembered the time she was loved. The time her life was perfect for her. Nothing seemed to go wrong or out of place. Nothing until it happened….

Trailing away from her thoughts, she glared down at the cradled boy, who now was silent and shaken at the sight of Kagome. The child is staring at me, why? Kagome thought.

Then it snapped back to her and she knew what kind of predicament she was in.

There was something about him and the physical features he portrayed. Although he looked to be a ten-year old boy, it some how reminded her of 'HIM'. The guy who started everything and led to this situation that took place. The look of the boy already began to piss her off. The soft, long white hair he wore; the sharp features shown on his face. But the only difference was that his eyes are an icy-blue color instead of an emotionless amber-color, she pondered.

Her gaze suddenly fell upon the entrance door that was previously shut closed and locked by her. She heard them outside the door, noises of planning and military guns clicking as a signal being ready.

***

Yeah, she held sixteen hostages in the 'Shikon no Tama' corporation building office, on the ground floor. Because of this, a few dozen police cars appeared and parked here and there, around the building. Helicopters hovered in the night sky in silent motions, with their guns sticking out. Curiosity had gathered large crowds of people from the outside, held back by the barricades the police made. FBI agents scattered around with their walkie-talkies held in their hands. News reporters talked live in front of the cameras; the whole scene was caught on TV.

Kagome could see everything happening outside; from the built-in-wall TV showing her the evidence. Yet she wasn't fazed by it. All she wanted was one thing… one person and then everything would be over….

***

Her face now expressed with anger, Kagome pulled out an object from her black purse hanging over her right shoulder. Heavy gasps were heard from the small crowd of hostages, whom lay flatly on the ground in different corners. They watched Kagome now holding the deadly weapon onto the boy's head, shoving his mother away with a quick push.

"Please don't, I beg of you. Please don't kill my son." The young mother pleaded, horrified of what Kagome will do to her son in a matter of minutes.

"Shut up." Kagome whispered harshly, grabbing the boy's arm and snatching him up into her grip. She gripped her handgun tightly, still pointing the metal object to the child's forehead.

"Mommy!" The child cried out, his eyes creating puddles of tears. His mother sat helplessly against the wall, breaking into low sobs. "Please…don't take my only son away."

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" Kagome yelled in frustration. Her breathing getting heavier as she looked around the place, filled with feared people scattered on the floor. "Don't tell me what to do." Sadness had swept over her as she said the last statement.

Kagome tugged at the boy's hair with her left hand, "He ruined my life! He had ruined everything!" She yelled at the mother. "He was my lover…" She closed her eyes and went into deep thought about her past life.

"Whoever your talking about, my son is not the one. He's merely a child…" The mother pleaded but trailed off as Kagome snapped her eyes opened, looked ready to kill.

"Don't you think I know that, bitch!? Are you telling me I'm stupid?" Now Kagome's full attention was on the mother who couldn't keep her mouth closed.

"N-no. I-I was simply s-saying…" The woman began, fearing for her life and her son's.

"You were indicating that I'm stupid, RIGHT!?" Kagome dragged the boy by his hair as she slowly made her way to his mother. "First you insult me and now you won't oblige to my orders to shut that fucking mouth of yours!!!" Kagome screamed and pointed the gun at the mother.

"Mommy, run away! I don't want you to die." The boys sobbed in tears, trying to warn his mother of the danger she's in.

"No, please! Have mercy on me…" The woman whispered in fear.

"I've warned you bitch!!!" Kagome motioned her finger on the trigger. The mother squirmed as she noticed it.

"Don't do this, please--," Se begged for the last time.

**Bang**

Silence took place.

Kagome's lips turned into an evil smirk as she kept the gun pointed at the woman, whose eyes were opened but with no presence of life. The boy felt horrified as he watched the blood trickle down his mother's forehead. He screamed and managed to pull away from Kagome's grip, running over to his mother's side.

"Please wake up, mommy! Wake up!" The boy shook his mother roughly in an attempt to bring her back to life, but failed.

The boy knew it was helpless, now that he realized she was dead. He gently brought his small fingers to his mother's long dark wavy hair and combed it soothingly. Then he placed his hands around her thin waist and cradled her while humming a low amiss tune. His pale-colored hair fell freely over his face as he closed his eyes and lowered his head. "I love you mommy…"

Kagome glowered down at the boy who now looked distraught. A tear seeped its way out of Kagome's eye but her face stayed cold and emotionless. She aimed her gun towards the child now. "I loved him…. But he didn't love me, you bastard child! Your father didn't love me…"

**Bang**

She laughed almost mechanically…
