Chapter 28 - "Karma's a Bitch."

Kagome's p.o.v

It has been 8 months since everything has happened. 8 months of peace without that monster. In those months Sesshomaru and I had gotten married in the spring. I had inflicted so much damage on Kouga that day, he had to be immediately rushed to a hospital and undergo extensive surgery. The surgery sent his body into shock, they had to medically induce a coma to keep his brain from deteriorating. Sesshomaru wanted to be notified when he woke up. But I had gotten the call first... he didn't want me anywhere near him. I had to go, there was something that I had to do.

I Walked into the hospital brushing the snow off my shoulders, taking the elevator to the 5th floor. I traipsed down the hallway, reaching his room.

"Nice to see you again detective Onigumo."

He smiled. "Likewise, and I see congratulations are in order."

I grinned. "Thank you." I said, rubbing my round belly. "Only three more months left to go."

"Nice ring." He said eyeing the expensive object on my ring finger.

"Thank you... it was kind of a shotgun wedding."

He chuckled, his face turning serious. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

I nodded pushing the door open, stepping in, I quietly closed it behind me."

The curtain was drawn, I could see his silhouette. He sat up in bed.

"Nurse, is that you?" He chuckled. "Is it time for my sponge bath already?"

I flung the curtain aside. The shock was evident in his eye, he wasn't expecting to see me again.

"W-who let you in here?"

I sat in the chair at the foot of his bed. "The detective is a good friend of mine. You know of him too."

"What are you talking about?"

"It turns out that Kikyo had a brother abroad. Who came back to find his baby sister dead. Want to take a guess on who that is?"

The look on his face told me that he had finally got it. "Onigumo..."

"You see, being the upstanding officer he is. He couldn't bring himself to kill you. But that's okay because... that leaves me, and that day I told you that I would kill you... I meant it."

"You wouldn't dare, you'd go to jail. You would never see Sesshomaru again and you'd lose your baby."

"Detective Onigumo was kind enough to make sure that this floors security camera's all of a sudden weren't working today. Even if you were to suddenly die, no one would care. You dying would save them the time of booking you. I'd be doing them a favor. It took us a while to plan this all out. He made sure that the day you woke up I'd get the call and that he'd be the officer outside your door. He wants justice, we all do. For all the shit you have put us through. The amount of therapists I had to see because of you was ridiculous. So, for Me, for Naraku... for Sango. You're going to die here today."

He swallowed. "So what are going to do, stab me? Shoot me? There's nothing that you could do that wouldn't leave any evidence."

I just smiled at him. I slipped my hand in my bag, pulling out a small case opening it. Inside sat two syringe's, one full of liquid and the other empty, and a single bottle of liquid.

"W-what is that?"

"This, is Succinylcholine. It will paralyze for... oh i don't know how long."

I jabbed the syringe full of liquid into his inner thigh. Glad he couldn't move, due to him being handcuffed to the bed. I watched him struggle, until he became completely still.

I sat next to him on the bed. Filling the empty syringe with the liquid. I gazed down at him, watching the tears form in his eye. Shutting off his machines.

I laughed. "Karma's a bitch isn't it?"

"I... love.. you" He struggled to get out.

"Yeah? Well that's to bad."

I stabbed the syringe into his neck, squeezing the liquid inside.

I saw the look in his eyes he could feel his muscles tightening. His airway closing off. He knew what I had given him. "Botulinum.. for Kikyo. For all of us."

It took only ten minutes for the drug to take effect. His eye glazed over, his chest stopped rising and falling... he was finally dead. I stared at him for a while. The memories of our life together flashing before my eyes and... I laughed. Over and over... I felt free. After killing someone... I imagined I would feel terrible. But I didn't, I felt relieved. I stood to my feet, zipping up my coat and leaving the room.

"Detective."

"Is it done?"

I nodded. "Thank you.. and my sister thanks you too."

I smiled, walking away. Knowing that everything would finally be okay.
