I don't own "Inuyasha" "Tourniquet"

Chapter Twelve

From the journal of Higurashi Kagome

I got a letter from Tokyo U the other day I was hoping to tell Sesshy that I will be go to the same school as him but, sadly I haven't heard from him in almost a month I've spoke to Inuyasha when he came back from America he told me that Sesshy has taken over their fathers company and that he needs to finish the deal their Father was working on when he died. Since Sesshy just got into the seat of power people aren't ready to take his word for it just because it was his Father that set everything up in the first place.

I just wish I could see him again I understand that he's got a lot to do since his Father is now gone but, I miss him and school's going to be starting soon and I wanted to tell him my secret before then.

End Journal Entry

"Kagome dear come down dinner is ready"

"Be right there mama"

Kagome set her journal aside and pulled out a shoe box she started to look through it finding what she was looking for she pulled it out and set in on her desk next to her journal. Kagome got up from the desk and went down to her family feeling that someone was missing from the table.

Mrs. Higurashi tried to make light conversation with her depressed daughter but, after having seen how Kagome reacted she stopped. Not long after Sesshomaru Taisho left for America Mrs. Higurashi began to notice that her daughter would retreat into herself she would talk to Inuyasha only to get info on Sesshomaru she only sang once at the Fox Fire since Sesshomaru departure.

Kagome didn't want to talk to her mother she knew her mother meant well but, a month with out hearing from Sesshomaru left Kagome feeling unwanted and very lonely.

After dinner Kagome returned to her room and picked up the paper which she laid on the next before got to dinner. She read it over then sat down and began to write once more.

To my Dearest love-

You wouldn't believe how many letters I have for you my love each and everyone seems more lonely then the last I tell you each time how much I miss and love you and beg you to return to me so I can feel like what its like to be in your arms once more.

My mother tried to start a conversation with me at dinner but, gave up after the millionth sigh. I spoke to Inuyasha the other day he told me that you should be coming home any day now and well he called me a baby because I told him how much I miss you.

When are you coming back I can't seem to find a reason to smile any more not even singing brings me a smile I just keep thinking that the last I heard from you I was at the Fox Fire Shippo continues to ask me to sing but, Jak and Bak yell at him for being insensitive which by the way is funny to hear Bak say that I can understand Jak because he's well him.

I don't how much longer I can stand you being so far from me sometimes I just wish you'd come and tell me that this was all a dream as I wake up in your arms in our bed before you go off to work while I finish school.

Oh I forgot to tell you I got into Tokyo U so I'll be able to stay at home and go with you when you come home. Well my love I need to get some sleep I'll dream of you until we see each other again my love.

-Kagome

Kagome dated the letter and put it in the shoe box along with the one she pulled out earlier, chancing in to her bed clothes Kagome sighed as she got into bed breathing out Sesshomaru's name before feeling into a dreamless sleep.

SESSHOMARU laid on the bed in his hotel room his mind thought nothing but, of Kagome. He wanted nothing more then to go back to Japan and hold her in his arms, and tell her how much he loves her. And ask her to be his mate for life, and never leave his side.

"Kagome I miss you I hope your doing alright" Sesshomaru thought.

As Sesshomaru laid there his cell phone began to ring annoyingly in his ear growling at the annoyance Sesshomaru picked it up and growled a hello into it.

"whoa there fluff I'm just calling to tell you to do something about your girl toy she annoying the hell out of me I can't get anytime with Kikyo since you left and damn it man I'm fuckin' horny here I don't know how you go so long without getting any but, this is killin' me"

"Inuyasha would you shut up, now Inuyasha whom are you speaking of as my 'girl toy' and why would she be annoying you?"

"Kagome that's who you ass do you not realize that it's been a month since you've called her she's continually calling here asking if your back yet poor Kikyo thinks I'm seeing the bitch"

"Inuyasha do not call her a bitch!"

"Why the bloody hell not it's not like your going to mate her or anything"

"Why do you say that little brother?"

"Your not going to mate that bitch are you?"

"That is if she says yes when I ask her"

"Well damn I never thought you'd have the nerve"

"As much as I like to hear from you little Brother this conversation isn't going anywhere, now if you have a point to this call I suggest you get to it"

"My point is Mr. Fluffy is get your sorry ass home soon or else I'm going to send Kagome to you"

"Inuyasha you know that I can not return until I get this deal taken care of"

"Sesshomaru that could take years dad's been trying to make this deal with them for as long as I can remember. And any way school is starting soon even though your taking over dad's business you still need to finish school"

"That's right I forgot that it was starting soon has Kagome told you what college she's attending?"

"Nope she hasn't said anything to me about it yet"

"Alright I don't know when I'll be back, but let her know Inuyasha that I'll see her first thing when I return"

"Whatever you say fluffy"

"good bye Inuyasha"

Sesshomaru hung up the phone without waiting for Inuyasha to say anything else walking back to the bed Sesshomaru fell upon it with a sigh.

"Kagome I'll return to you as soon as I can please don't forget me my love" Sesshomaru thought

Rolling onto his side Sesshomaru wondered if he truly should stay and try to make this deal. Or just go back to Japan and see Kagome again. "Kagome I want to tell you how much I love you"

"Mr. Taisho you have a phone call from a Mr. Dove"

"Tell him that I'm returning to Japan if he wants to call me it will be on my terms"

"yes Mr. Taisho"

Sesshomaru stood and begin packing his bag his mind on nothing but Kagome and how it would feel to hold her in hid arms again.

Just as he was finishing packing there was a knock on his hotel door.

Opening the door with a growl Sesshomaru was met with and angry business man.

"Sesshomaru I was told that you wouldn't speak to me that you are going back to Japan"

"that's right I left some unfinished business there"

"if that more important then the business you've inherited?"

"yes as of matter of fact I've got to return to tell someone I love her"

"Sesshomaru you're still young don't go ruining a chance to have a great life just for some whore you left behind"

Sesshomaru growled at the older business man his claws grew and his eyes began to turn a blood red as he slowly turned to look at him.

The man known as Mr. Dove was scared shitless when he saw Sesshomaru true he knew what Sugimi and Sesshomaru were but, he never thought that he would be on the other end of their beast's rage.

"listen well for I'm only going to say this once. If you ever call my mate to be a whore again I'll not only stop at ripping your body apart but, I'll do it your business as well" Sesshomaru said with a deep menacing growl.

KAGOME was walking back from the book store where she got all the books she needs for school. She had promised her mother that she would start getting out of the house more just last night she went out with Sango and her boyfriend Miroku; however, they were trying to get her to go out on a date with some friend of Miroku's Kagome kept trying to tell them that she wasn't interested in dating any one they wouldn't listen to anything Kagome told them, so they went over her head and went to her mother sadly enough Mrs. Higurashi thought that it would be a good idea for Kagome to go out with someone else besides Sesshomaru since he wasn't in the country any more.

So here she was walking home with her new books to have her mother make sure she was ready for the date that she didn't want to go on. From what Miroku told her his name is Metsubou Menoumaru he's the same age as Sesshomaru and he goes to the community college where he's trying to get a degree in something Miroku couldn't remember.

"Kagome you need to get ready to go"

"mama I told you that I don't want to go, please don't make me"

"I know you don't honey but, you need to get on with your life you just can't sit around and wait for Sesshomaru to get back"

"mama can't you until stand I love him and I won't be with anyone but him"

"Kagome…?"

Kagome ran up to her room and slammed the door and fell on her bed and cried for Sesshomaru.

SESSHOMARU was at the airport when he called Jaken to be ready to pick him up in Tokyo, he then called Inuyasha to have him leave the house for the night he got there.

"Oi' Fluffy what's up?"

"Inuyasha I'm on my way back when I get there that night I want you gone"

"your kicking me out of my own home?"

"only for that night"

"why?"

"I'm going to pick up Kagome on my way back there and there's going to be a candle light dinner waiting for us there"

"wait your going to tell her aren't you?"

"yes little brother I'm going to get my mate"

"good luck I'll be gone"

"good"

Sesshomaru hung up and bordered his flight to go see his mate to be. It was going to be a long flight he needed every moment of it to plan the night he was going to get the women of his dreams. Just as he sat Sesshomaru remembered that he forgot to call Mrs. Higurashi and let her know so she wouldn't worry about Kagome at all.

IN a dark room and figure sat in the shadows unseen by anyone. Another figure walked into the room and sat in front of the other.

"Sesshomaru is now on a plane back to her sir"

"good is everything ready?"

"Hai the plan will be implicated"

"good see that nothing stands in my way"

"Hai"

One of the figures left the other in the room.

INUYASHA was sitting on the couch watching TV when to phone rang at first he ignored yet thinking that it was someone that just found out about his father passing and wanted to pay their respects but, after the twentieth ring he got up and yelled into the phone.

"HELLO?"

"is this the Taisho residence?"

"Hai this is Inuyasha Taisho"

"Are you the father of a MR. Sesshomaru Taisho?"

"No sorry he just died I'm Sesshomaru's younger brother"

"Is your mother there?"

"Yeah but, she's not Sesshomaru's his mother is dead too"

"Your Mr. Taisho's only relative then?"

"Hai, look what is this all about?"

"I'm sorry to have to tell you this; the plane your brother was on is missing"

"What do you mean missing how can you lose a plane their like 30 stories high and over 7billon tons"

"I'm sorry sir we are doing everything we can to locate all those on the flight"

"Yeah you better and when you find the bastard make sure I'm with you so I can see him kick your ass"

"very well Mr. Taisho we'll be in touch"

Inuyasha hung up the phone he couldn't believe it his brother was just on his way home to finally tell Kagome how he felt and his plane goes missing 'man the gods must not want those two together' Inuyasha thought.

Inuyasha was thinking about all that Sesshomaru and Kagome had been through when it came to him that Kagome does not know yet about Sesshomaru 'oh no this is going to kill her I've better go tell her in person'

Running up the stairs he went into Sesshomaru's room and picked up Sesshomaru must favorite thing that Inuyasha knew about his personal journal unknown to Inuyasha why he didn't bring it to America with him but, right now wasn't the time to be thinking something so stupid.

Inuyasha left the house and jumped into his car and took off down the road to Kagome's shrine as he drove Inuyasha tried to think of how he was going to tell Kagome that Sesshomaru is missing because the plane he was on went missing.

Coming to a stop at the front of the Higurashi shrine Inuyasha took a deep breath he got out of the car and walked up the many steps to the front door sighing he knocked.

Mr. Higurashi answered the door after Inuyasha knocked she looked surprised to see him on her door step and stepped aside and let him in.

"I'm sorry Inuyasha but Kagome isn't here right now"

"where is she?"

"I made her go out on a date with a friend of Sango's boyfriend"

"you made her?"

"yes well she wouldn't go out on her own"

"but you do know how she feels about Sesshomaru right?"

"yes I do but, I also know that my daughter can not wait for him to come back"

"Mrs. Higurashi I have to tell you something"

"go ahead"

"Mrs. Higurashi Sesshomaru was on his way back here to tell Kagome how he felt he had the whole thing planed out"

"what do you mean 'was' ?"

"Sesshomaru's plane went missing somewhere between New York and Tokyo"

"missing how could a plane go missing?"

"I don't know Mrs. Higurashi"

"what are you going to tell Kagome?"

"Tell me what?"

Mrs. Higurashi and Inuyasha turned to the door to see Kagome standing there looking at them with a questioning look.

"Kagome you have better sit down to here this" Mrs. Higurashi said

Kagome sat and looked at the both of them wondering what was going on.

"Kagome Sesshomaru was on his way back here, when his plane went missing" Inuyasha said

"is Sesshomaru alright?"

"we don't know Kagome they can't find anyone from the flight"

"so Sesshomaru is missing?'

"yes"

"NO I WON'T BEILEVE IT"

"Kagome I know this is hard"

"I don't care what you say nothing will make everything better I want MY SESSHOMARU!"

Kagome ran up to room in tears and fell onto her bed screaming for Sesshomaru.

Downstairs Mrs. Higurashi and Inuyasha were still talking about Sesshomaru and the chance that he'll be alright.

"Mrs. Higurashi give this to Kagome when she claims down it's Sesshomaru's journal I'm sure he want have wanted her to have it"

"I will and keep me informed Inuyasha"

"I will good night Mrs. Higurashi"

"good night Inuyasha"

Kagome claimed a bit but, not much she wanted to talk to someone anyone that could under stand getting out of the bed Kagome went to her closet and got out anything black and through it on the bed.

Walking over to it she began to go through the pile. Pants, shirt and skirts flew through to air and ended on the floor, deciding on black leather pants, and a tight black shirt with a matching leather jacket.

Kagome left her room and ran down the stairs and out the door to her car where she jumped in and drove off.

Kagome pulled up at the Fox Fire and got out and went in she stood by the entrance to look for Shippo finding him by the back Kagome walked over to him and pulled him aside.

"Shippo you have open mic tonight right?"

"Kagome yeah I do, are you alright"

"I'll be alright I just want to sing one song"

SESSIHOMARU woke with a headache looking around to find out where he was Sesshomaru found out that he wasn't somewhere he knew.

Kagome walked out onto the stage and took a hold of the mic the music began to play behind her while Sesshomaru's face flashed before her eyes.

I tried to kill the pain

but only brought more

I lay dying

and I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal

I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming

am I too lost to be saved

am I too lost?

SESSHOMARU stood began to walk to the nearest house he could see about half way there he fell and a pare of hands helped him up.

my God my tourniquet

return to me salvation

my God my tourniquet

return to me salvation

"hey you alright I saw the plane go down"

"where am I?"

"on one of the Faeroe islands of Denmark call Mykines'

"who am I?"

"you don't remember your name?"

do you remember me

lost for so long

will you be on the other side

or will you forget me

I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming

am I too lost to be saved

am I too lost?

"I don't"

"what can you remember?"

"Kagome"

"Ka-go-me who is she?"

"I don't know"

my God my tourniquet

return to me salvation

my God my tourniquet

return to me salvation

Sesshomaru walked away with the man that helped him wondering who this Kagome was and why he could only remember her.

my wounds cry for the grave

my soul cries for deliverance

will I be denied Christ

tourniquet

my suicide

'who ever you are Kagome I will find out why I only know your name'

Kagome stopped singing with tears running down her cheeks she walked off stage and was met by Shippo and Bak and Jak each with a worried face.

"what is wrong Kagome?"

"Sesshomaru is missing"
