AN: I don't own Inuyasha, just thought I'd clarify that. :) But the title I mooched from a Westlife song (though it has nothing to do with it).
Enjoy this little oneshot.
When I squeezed my eyes shut, it all seemed to be so much better. Everything was dark – an endless blackness. But the blackness was also daunting. What would it be like to have no ending? To live forever?
Despite the soothing morning sun, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end and I shivered involuntarily.
"Kagome?" As usual, his voice soothed me. It passed over me, making it feel as if I'd sunk into a relaxing warm bath and the water had consumed my body.
But now I was drowning.
I felt him move closer to me, felt the tickling of his long silky hair as it brushed my check lightly, and I resisted opening my eyes and peering into his bottomless honey ones. They melted me. They were worse than his voice; though neither of those things were bad – they were simply addictive. And I'd been caught in the spider's web, so to speak.
"Kagome?" He whispered again lightly, his breath brushing my face.
I just wanted a little longer in this darkness. Because here, everything was perfect and it wouldn't ever change. Everything would remain peaceful and nothing horrible would happen – no pain, no loss; ever.
But then, nothing could remain in the darkness forever, now could it? Slowly, I opened my eyes, squinting a little due to the bright sun, and brought a hand up and gently rested it against his cheek.
"Sesshomaru," I said, barely a whisper. Relief flickered in his eyes – if only for a second – before they succumbed to wonder. I let my lips pull into a small smile before it fell from my face. Sesshomaru flexed his jaw, about to say something, but I smoothed my thumb over his lips, making him wait.
"Will you stay with me?" I asked quietly, hesitantly. He was a demon; I, a human. I would age and eventually die – he would not. My heart fluttered in my chest as he drew me closer to him.
"I promise." He gently kissed me on the forehead, and I melted into him. He wanted to be with me, wanted me there – even though I was a human.
It was us against the world.
AN: I hope you enjoyed it. Review please. ;)
