This is sort of a Flash back on Fluffy's current life.



~* Flashback *~

The rain fell steadily to the cold hard concrete. A beautiful raven-haired woman stood outside a nicely kept townhouse in Tokyo, clutching her purse in her hand. She looked nervous to be there at the moment. A car alarm sounded down the street but she didn't look. She kept her eyes focused on the stairway and the door. Looking closely you could see that a tear had formed in her eye. She would have to go in. She would have to tell him the truth.

Her high heels clomped heavily on the sidewalk and scratched at the stone steps leading to the door of the building. Her hands shook so hard while trying to fit her key in the lock that she almost dropped them. She almost started to sob, but caught herself when she heard footsteps coming down the stairway inside.

A Handsome man appeared at the door to let her in. His golden eyes smiled at her even when his face didn't even budge from the expressionless face he wore. He opened the door in a hurry and pulled her in the light hallway. His arms wrapped around her shoulders in a great big bear hug without a word passed between them. In this passionate embrace, the girl dropped a salty tear onto his shoulder.

"Karimi, is something wrong?" The man asked in a slightly husky voice. He held her at arms length, grabbing her shoulders and looking deeply into her sad gray eyes. She looked at him.

"Sessoumaru. I. I found out today, from the doctor. I have cancer. The doctors. the doctors, they say that it is a severe kind of leukemia. They have no cure for it." He just stood there looking at her in shock. This could not happen. It just could not happen to the one that he loved the most. And what of their son? He was only 18 months old and he would never know his mother! His hands lowered and he just stared at the wall. Tears started to flow freely down his cheeks, but he made no sound. No noise. As if in shock. He looked at her and tried to choke out words. To tell her that he would always be there for her, but found his voice was lost.

"Oh Sessoumaru! This isn't how it is supposed to be! I don't want to die! I don't want to leave you and the baby!" She cried and became a water works of tears. She jumped into his arms and hugged him close. Feeling he had to comfort her in some way or another he put his arms protectively around her. As if that was the cure, as if that could make the cancer go away and she would not die. He buried his face in her hair kissing her scalp and shushing her between her loud sobs. Telling her that everything would be all right. That the cancer would go away and she would not die. But he knew that that was not to be.

~* jumping foreword *~

The funeral took place 1 week after the death of Karimi. It was an open coffin. She lay there on the pillows of silk, holding a beautiful bouquet of roses and morning glories. Her favorite kind of flowers. Cherry blossom petals had been sprinkled in the coffin and on the red carpet and ground surrounding the dark oak box. Her cold pale face made no movement, no expression came when a tear from her dear husband's golden eyes landed on her cheek. He half expected, half wished that she would stir from her resting-place, open her eyes and smile up at him. But she was gone. Gone for eternity.

He held their child in his arms, hugging him so as to protect him from the outside world. A dangerous world full of death and disease. A world full of loss and tragedy of man-kind. He held his child like he had held Karimi the night the word of her disease had reached his ears. But he knew that he wouldn't die. He knew that his little boy would live because he would protect him from a life of loss and sadness. The life of the real world.
