Chapter 7: The End

A/N: I like short fanfictions…sorry if you don't

Tohru fell to the ground and Talia saw the blood pour from his chest. She immediately looked at Sesshomaru, who put his sword away. "Did he hurt you?" demanded Sesshomaru. Talia shook her head and walked over to Rila-Tohru. No demon could heal himself from Sesshomaru's blow. She kneeled down beside him. He stretched out his hand and she slowly took it into her own.

"Tohru…"

"Burn my body Talia…" he whispered, "Let my soul be carried into the afterlife." He whispered. Talia nodded and Tohru closed his eyes. She slowly bent down and kissed his forehead.

She heard the soft last breath come from his lips. Immediately, his body was set onto fire. Sesshomaru watched as Talia stood up next to the burning carcass. "Good bye…" she said quietly. She walked over to Sesshomaru and buried her head into his clothes. Sesshomaru held onto her tightly, relieved.

"He did nothing that would harm me. I was not touched, nor was I injured." She said. Sesshomaru held onto her. "Sesshomaru…" she began looking at him. InuKimi was glad to see that Talia was safe and still pure for her husband. She retired to her chambers with a severe headache.

Sesshomaru turned and looked at her. "Hm." Was his soft reply.

"Tohru told me that your feelings toward me are one-sided. That my love would be in vain…" she said quietly. He knew this would be brought up eventually. "I want you to know, that you can take Kagura as your wife. I do not want to get in your way…" she said. Sesshomaru sighed.

He ran a hand through her black hair. "I chose you over Kagura. I took you as my mate." He answered softly. Talia turned and looked at him. His face was passive like always, but his cold amber eyes were warmed slightly. She nodded. "I wish to make the marriage completely void." He said.

Talia took his hand and he led her into his bed chambers. She had been in there many times, but she was now with her real husband. The demon she loved. He bent down slowly and kissed her lips. She held onto him tightly, hoping that she would never again be parted. His lips were gentle against her lips. Sesshomaru slowly brought his lips down her neck. He moved her kimono out of the way and gently kissed her shoulder where his mark laid. She moaned softly. As he untied the obi and took the kimono off of her body. Next came off his clothes, his body illuminated in the moonlight. Talia felt his hands gently hold her against him for a moment, then was lifted up by his strength. She was brought to the bed where he slowly got onto of her. He parted her legs and gained entry within her. Their breaths coming at a steady rhythm as they both kissed each other passionately. His hard erection being pushed in and out every few moments. He pulled himself completely and laid a moment on top of her, exhausted. It was strange. He had no energy tonight. He rolled over and sighed. Talia rolled over and looked at him. She sighed and thought for a moment over everything that had surpassed while she was here. He hand stroked her back. "I don't know why…" he began. "I'm so tired."

Talia smiled slightly. "I could tell." She said
