Chapter 14
Reunion
You wake with the feeling of being cold and lonely. You search for Sesshomaru and then you remember that you sent him want to crawl into a hole and die for what you said for him. You have always wished for his happiness, if you couldn't have him, but never thought that if he did get married what you would do if he wasn't happy. You never thought of that possibility. You guess that you would comfort him. You messed up really bad this time. You have to apologize, it's the only way. The only way you would ever be happy ever again. But how? You don't even know where he is. You hope he isn't mad at you. "God! Please... please let me see him again." In a familiar place full of beautiful white flowers with a gushing waterfall and cherry blossom trees all over, a depressed demon lord sits under a lovely cherry blossom tree.
Sesshomarus POV:
The flowers fall around me. Memories of her flow into my thoughts. Her smile, her voice, all precious memories. "It's all my fault!" I whisper to myself, cursing myself for my insolence. Why did I have to come here of all places? All these flowers remind me of her!
A tear slides down my face. I wipe it away with one finger. I stare at this tear. I cried for her. Why do I love her so... so much? The way her hair slide across her face, when she smiles. They way her eyes sparkle when they meet mine. When her hand touches my hair. I even love when she gets mad at me! I would die just to watch her sleep. I can't... I can't live without her. I have no choice... I have to be with her or die.
Just then, I hear a familiar, irritating voice, "Lord Sesshomaru! It's been so long!" I say, with no emotion to hide the fact I am depressed, "Jaken, how are you still alive?" The irritating imp replies, "Not too long after your death, your mistress Lady Toran also passed away, and I not to long after... I was brought back to life, 20 years ago by a demon witch, who wanted to make me her pet..." I cut him off, " Jaken, what do you want?" He replies, feeling insulted, "My lord, I wish for you to become the ruler of the western lands once more... in Demon World." I ask, "Demon World?" Jaken says, interrupting my thoughts, "Demon World was created by Athena after the war you died in. I was nominated by a whole bunch of weak demons to be ruler, but my lord... I must confess, my power isn't enough. Only someone with your caliber and power can sustain rule, which I am sadly, lacking." I say, "Jaken." He says, "Yes, mi lord?" I answer, "I will give you my reply in two days." He says, "Of course my lord... oh, before I forget... no mortals are allowed in Demon World, but I know that I don't have to tell you that." He walks away and disappears into nothingness.
"'Become the ruler of the western lands in Demon World'" Huh! Like I can. I can't go that far away from her. My precious darling, keeper of my heart, I need you. Another tear slides down my face. I haven't cried this much since Rin died. I know she feels the same way. Why did I have to get married? Things shouldn't be this way. Princess, how are you going to forgive me? I place my hands over my face. How... how am I supposed to get you to forgive me? My heart... I know... I'll give you my heart.
I summon my demonic power and I focus it around my soul. A deep, powerful voice speaks, "Are you sure you want to do this Sesshomaru?" I answer, closing my eyes, "Yes." The voice continues, "You do know what will happen if she doesn't accept it, don't you?" I reply, opening my eyes to a slit, "Yes... my death." The voice continues, "You really want to put your life on the line for the sake of a mere mortal?" I answer, "My life means nothing to me without her." I clench my eyes. The voice says, growing stronger, "You are so much like her father. Very well then... but remember... it was your choice!" My demonic power turns white, the color of purity. It turns in to a small orb and lands into my hand. It disappears, leaving a gold chain with a perfect crescent moon on the end of it. My breathing becomes rough. "Grandfather... forgive me... but I love her... precious... I will see you... tomorrow... I am... out of strength." I hold the necklace up. It sparkles with a sense of perfect purity.
If she doesn't accept it... I will die. Not only die... my soul will shatter. Huh, I never thought I could die from a rejection. I hope she says 'Yes.' I can hear her voice. Her voice haunts me. I don't know how I will sleep tonight. Precious... listen to your heart... What does it tell you?
Your POV: Sesshomaru, where are you my prince. It has been a whole day since I seen you. I couldn't concentrate at school. Your face haunts me. I took a test today, I studied, but I couldn't keep my mind focused. My thoughts would always revert back to you. Sesshomaru, I need you. Please come back! It's midnight and I can't sleep without your arms around me. I'll do whatever you want... just... just come back! (I cry.) I can't sleep without you... I can't... I can't... live without you.
