Story
Sesshomaru▓s eyes fluttered before flying open. He quickly shut them again as they were bombarded with white light. Sesshomaru then tried to open his eyes again, but this time slowly. He then gasped as he found himself looking at a pure white sky with bright white lights seeming to come for everywhere. Was he dead? Was this the heaven mortals talked about? If so why was he here?
Sesshomaru tried to sit up, but pain ripped through him and he hastily decided it wasn▓t heaven because in heaven you could feel no pain. As he looked around himself he noticed many glittering metal machines. That▓s when he realized he was in a hospital.
Sesshomaru sighed in relief and closed his eyes before relaxing back into the bed. A door squeaked as it was opened and Sesshomaru looked in the noise▓s direction.
⌠Sesshomaru?■ the intruder said.
Sesshomaru blank, ▒I know that voice┘..▓ ⌠Kagome?■
Sesshomaru groaned as another body landed on top of his.
⌠Oh sorry,■ Kagome said sheepishly as she sat in a chair beside his hospital bed.
⌠But I▓m so excited that you▓re awake! The doctors said that you were lucky you were a youkai or you might not ever wake up!■
Sesshomaru frowned, ⌠How long have I been unconscious?■
⌠About 2 weeks, why?■ Kagome said. Sesshomaru▓s eyes widened, ⌠What happened after I fell unconscious?■
⌠Well, Eric brought us to the hospital where you were quickly rushed to the emergency room. Only after I was assured you were going to live did I go back to make sure your father▓s body was taken care of. He was buried last Thursday, and once you get well I▓ll take you to his grave,■ Kagome told Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru nodded, before looking away from Kagome. Kagome looked at him sadly as she grabbed his hand.
⌠Sesshomaru, don▓t be mad at yourself for your father▓s death. It wasn▓t your fault. If it makes you feel any better, he told me he was so sorry for everything he▓s done to you and he hoped that one day you▓d understand why he left your mother and why he wanted you to mate a human.■
Sesshomaru looked down at the bed as he explained his understanding of his father▓s wishes.
⌠The reason my father left my mother and why he wanted me to mate a human was because of love. My mother and father were joined for power, not love and because of that my mother was never able to feel affection for him. So, my father looked for love in other places, thus meeting Inu Yasha▓s mother. Since my father knew that not very many youkai women are capable of feeling emotion, he wanted me to be with a human woman so I would be able to receive and feel love myself.■
Sesshomaru looked up at Kagome and smiled lightly.
⌠And I believe I did,■ he said before kissing her softly yet passionately.
Three Years Later
Sesshomaru kneeled down beside a tombstone as he laid flowers on the grave.
⌠Well father, all the things you planned for my life have gone worked out. Kagome and I have been mated for two years and just last year we had two boys. One we named Inu Taishou, after you, and the other we named Toga. Keyasha is living with us but she met a young monk that I think she▓ll move in with soon. Inu Yasha is in college, he plans to become a surgeon. Well, I better go. Kagome planned for us to go out to dinner tonight. Rest in peace old man.■
Sesshomaru than stood back up before walking away from the grave and back to his new life with Kagome.
