Author's Note: Yay the final chapter to see whether the reader lives or dies….muhaha!

Chapter two: I love you and always will

Bankotsu carried you home despite the fact that Jakotsu wanted to. He kept looking over at you. Your face was flushed and very pale at the same time. Suikotsu was fighting the urge to tell Jakotsu that if your temperature didn't go down that you might die.

"Suikotsu (your name here) will be ok right," Jakotsu asked looking at his older brother. "It depends whether her temperature goes down but don't worry I'm sure it will," Suikotsu answered forcing himself to nodded feeling slightly better.

'Please don't die (your name here) please live,' Jakotsu thought while fighting back tears.

The next day…

"You said her temperature would go down but it hasn't," Jakotsu argued back. "I said I was hoping it would, not that it would Jakotsu," Suikotsu yelled back at him. Jakotsu flopped down next to you pouting. "Both of you shut up, I'm getting a migraine," Renkotsu growled. Beads of sweat rolled down your face.

Renkotsu threw Jakotsu a damp cloth to wipe the sweat away. He then walked outside muttering about something. "Big Brother you might want to stop their argument before Suikotsu loses it," Renkotsu said looking at Bankotsu who was lost in thought. "Ok," Bankotsu said getting up.

"Yo Suikotsu, Jakotsu knock it off," Bankotsu said. They ignored him and continued fighting.

"I SAID KNOCK IT OFF," Bankotsu yelled.

The room fell silent...

"Sorry Big Brother," Suikotsu said quietly with Jakotsu nodding. "Ok good now you can apologize to each other and live in peace and harmony," Bankotsu added before walking back outside. "So call it truce," Jakotsu asked Suikotsu who nodded.

By nightfall you still hadn't felt better.

Suikotsu was extremely worried because you were steadily growing weaker and weaker. Everyone had long since gone to bed while hadn' felt sick to his stomach. He now knew the truth. You weren't going to get better…you were dying. 'Jakotsu's going to be heartbroken,' Suikotsu said.

Tears slid down his face. You had started out as a nuisance but you slowly became a close friend to all of them. Your eye lids slowly opened. "Sui...Suikotsu,"you choked out. "(Your name here)!"

"I know I'm dying and there's no cure for what I have, not even in my time." Tears slid down your face. "The reason I was crying in the hot springs was because I LOVE Jakotsu yet he's gay," you whispered turning away from Suikotsu. More tears spilled down your face.

Suddenly you coughed spitting up some blood. "How is she," a tired voice asked? Both you and Suikotsu turned around. "Jakotsu," you whispered. "(Your name here) thank goodness you're awake," Jakotsu cried sitting down next to you.

"This means she'll live right," Jakotsu said hopefully. "No she's dying Jakotsu," Suikotsu whispered. Jakotsu stood shaking his head.

Your face grew paler and more sweat rolled down your face. It was getting hard to breath. You knew you only had a few minutes. "Jakotsu I just want to say I'm sorry and that I llo...love you." You closed your eyes for the last time. Jakotsu eyes widened as your chest stopped.

"No damn it…damn it," he screamed punching his fist into the floor. He walked over to you.

He leaned over and kissed your cold lips then whispered I love you and always will…

The End...

Authoress: Ok yea the ending was kinda crappy and mushy. Oh and the rest Band of Seven are later killed by Kouga, Naraku & InuYasha.
