Followed Into Hell
"Sesshomaru…" Her voice was chocked with tears as she called out.
"O God Sessshomaru!" Her eyes clenched in agony, mouth tightly closed. Her muscles shaking as she strained to suppress the endless sobs through physical pain.
"Sesshomaru!" Her hands thread themselves in her inky locks only to scratch her scalp in their intensity for substance, in their need for his presence.
Large gentle hands glided across her quaking form pulling her forcefully against a warm strong chest. The comfort of his voice tangible as she gave up her death hold on her midnight hair with only a few gentle tugs from his balmy hand and some minor commands. "It is alright Kagome. It shall end soon, I promise." His voice was husky and unusually full of emotion; and with the realization of his nearness the stream of tears increased.
"Sesshomaru…I cant…I cant! Its forever there.."Her voice was high in distress as she tried to talk through the heaving breaths and gasping sobs, his hold on her only tighten as if he were trying to keep her brokenness from completely destroying her.
"I know…I promise, Ill make it better." His voice was deep and aching, echoing the pain of her own, fingers gripping her shoulder and head firmer than ever before. His own golden orbs closing to hide the rising sorrow.
He knew what he had to do, or this would destroy her.
He leaned so his mouth was pressed tight to her ear, tears catching in her hair lost in the oasis of night. "It will only be a second, and I promise it'll all end." He croaked. His nails lengthened and heated with poison while he choked back a burning sob of hate, for himself, for what he did to her, for what he brought her. Burying his face into the side of her head one final time he drew a deep breath in, savoring her scent; her calming floral smell with hints of spice, the only one of its kind.
"I love you." His voiced quaked, "and I will always love only you, no matter what happens." He drew in a final steady breath, closing his eyes to hide the newly gathering tears before sliding a single claw into her neck, injecting enough poison to disrupt her memories. "Goodbye Kagome".
