"Kagome." whispered Sesshoumaru as he held Kagome close to his body.

"Sesshoumaru." sighed Kagome as she lay her head on Sesshoumaru's strong chest. "I

want to stay like this forever."

"Me too." whispered Sesshoumaru.

Kagome turned around and faced Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru, our love will be strong. It

won't break right?"

"Of course."

"So no secrets."

"No secrets."

Kagome smiled and was going to start speaking when her cell phone rang. 'Well, I'll tell

Sesshoumaru later. But will he still love me? I don't know how to say this, but it isn't right if I

don't tell him.'

"Kagome Higurashi." said Kagome into her cell phone.

"Kagome, come to the hospital, quick!" came the voice of Mrs. Higurashi.

"I'm coming." replied Kagome as she closed her cell phone. "Sesshoumaru, I have to go

to the hospital."

"I'll drive you." replied Sesshoumaru as they hurried to the car. 'Kagome.' thought

Sesshoumaru to himself. 'How am I suppose to say this? Will you be angry? This is so

frustrating, but Kagome will have to know sooner or later.'

"Mom, what's wrong?" asked Kagome with a worried voice.

"Janet, she's missing, again." replied Mrs. Higurashi, who looked like she would burst

into hysterical sorrow soon.

"I'll go look for Janet." stated Kagome as she rushed outside. Sesshoumaru turned and

noticed his girlfriends worried face.

"What's wrong?" asked Sesshoumaru. "Don't lie to me, remember, there is no secrets

between us."

Kagome sighed and said. "Janet is missing, and her health has decreased a lot."

"Get in the car." commanded Sesshoumaru. Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru. "I'll help

you find her."

"Kouga." sighed Janet as she sat at the coffee table.

"What is it Janet?" asked Kouga. "You look pale, what's wrong? Are you sick? Because

lately, you are always in the hospital."

"No," lied Janet, "Kagome is the one that is sick, I am just taking care of her."

"Oh okay." stated Kouga as he got up and grabbed the book on a table near the corner of

the coffee shop. "You can write anything in this book. I come here all the time and write in this

book."

Kouga flipped open the book and Janet read some of the passages. "Today, I met a very

beautiful girl in the bookstore. June 8, 2000." Janet smiled and read another. " I found out the

girl's name is Janet, I think I'm in love. June 18, 2000." Janet kept on reading until the latest one,

"I am leaving for America, and I want my girlfriend, who I love dearly to come with me. I don't

ever want to be away from her. March 5, 2002.'

"Want to write something?" asked Kouga.

"I don't know what to say." replied Janet.

"How about, I love Kouga." suggested Kouga. Janet took the pen, and before she could

write the first word, she stopped. Kouga looked at Janet urging her to write.

'No, I can't do this.' thought Janet. 'I'll break his heart.' "Kouga, I-I can't!" cried Janet as

her hand started to shake. Janet dropped the pen and ran away.

"Janet!" screamed Kouga. "Is this good bye?" asked Kouga in a whisper.

"Kagome." called Mrs. Higurashi over the cell phone. "Janet returned to the hospital."

Kagome sighed a relief and smiled.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"Sesshoumaru, Janet came back!" cried Kagome happily. Sesshoumaru smiled and drove

Kagome back to the hospital.

Just before Kagome walked up the stairs of the hospital, Sesshoumaru pulled Kagome

around and kissed her softly on the lips. "Guess we'll pick up where we left off another time."

Kagome nodded her head. Sesshoumaru got back in his car and drove away as Kagome

quickly walked up the hospital stairs.

Mrs. Higurashi walked into Janet's room and looked at her sleeping daughter. Mrs.

Higurashi sat by Janet's bed when she noticed a thick book. She looked at the book and noticed it

was a love story. Mrs. Higurashi's eyes brimmed with unshed tears.

"Oh, Janet, I really wished you and your sister could live normal lives." cried Mrs.

Higurashi as she opened the book. Inside the book, Janet had written Kouga's name over and

over again. Mrs. Higurashi cried her heart out as she grabbed the book, and went in search of

Kouga.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Kouga!" cried Mrs. Higurashi when she had finally found Kouga after hours of

searching.

"Mrs. Higurashi, I will not bother Janet anymore." stated Kouga as he turned to leave.

"No, I wish you would go see Janet." pleaded Mrs. Higurashi. "Now I know I was wrong

to keep you guys apart."

"Sorry, I can't go see her. We broke up our relationship." stated Kouga.

"It doesn't matter, please go see her." pleaded Mrs. Higurashi once again. Kouga shook

his head no. "I hope you will rethink this, and visit Janet. Here," stated Mrs. Higurashi as she

handed Kouga his book, "I think this is yours."

Mrs. Higurashi left as fresh, new tears streamed down her face. "Janet, I'm sorry, it's all

my fault."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kouga slowly walked home, holding the book. When he had reached home, he sat in his

chair and just stared at the book. Finally, giving in to his desires, he opened up the book. "Janet."

was all Kouga whispered as he dashed to the hospital as quickly as he could.

Kouga slammed Janet's door open, and startled Kagome and Janet. "Kouga?" whispered

Janet as she tried to get up.

"Janet, why did you lie to me?" asked Kouga as he took a seat next to Janet. Kagome

took this as her cue to leave.

"I didn't want you to know." cried Janet as she buried her face into Kouga's chest.

"Kouga, I love you!"

"I do too." replied Kouga. Janet started to cough uncontrollably. "Doctor!" screamed

Kouga.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~



"Mom, add a bit more blush on the left." stated Janet as she looked in the little mirror. "I

want to look perfect for Kouga." Mrs. Higurashi held back a sob, and added more make up to

Janet. Kagome stood on the other side of Janet's bed, trying her best not to cry.

"Kouga's here." called a nurse form outside.

Mrs. Higurashi and Kagome helped Janet walk outside, when they bumped into the

doctor. Janet whispered to the doctor, "Go cheer my mom up, she likes coffee."

The doctor smiled and took her advice. Janet took Kouga's hand and they walked off.

William handed Mrs. Higurashi a cup of coffee, and Mrs. Higurashi smiled. William and Mrs.

Higurashi walked off with grave expressions as Kagome flopped down onto the bench and cried

out all her pain and sorrow.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kouga and Janet walked hand in hand along the beach, when Janet stated, "Kouga, I'm

tired."

Kouga picked Janet up bridal style and continued walking as Janet snuggled closer to

Kouga. After walking for another fifteen minutes, Kouga gently set Janet onto the sandy beach

and sat next to her to watch the sunset.

"It's beautiful." sighed Janet as she leaned her head onto Kouga's chest. Kouga picked

Janet up and placed her on his lap.

"It is." replied Kouga. "But you are much more beautiful than it." This earned a blush

from Janet.

"Kouga, do you believe in afterlife?" asked Janet. "I do, and the next life, I want to be

able to spend my life with you."

"Me too." replied Kouga.

"I feel so tired." sighed Janet looking really sleepy. Janet gently gripped Kouga's jacket

and pulled him down for a short kiss. Kouga watched the sun set with a near dreamland Janet. "I

love you Janet." whispered Kouga. As the last rays of the sunlight disappeared, he felt Janet's

grip on him loosen.

Janet's arm fell to her side and her heartbeat stopped. All traces of life left Janet. Kouga

silently cried and whispered. "I will never forget you, and wait for me in the afterlife." Kouga

slowly picked Janet up and began the trek back as tears dropped one by one until it started to

pour.

"JANET!" screamed Kouga into the dark night.

"Janet!" whispered Kagome as she began to cry even harder. Soon she was joined be Mrs.

Higurashi and the doctor when Kouga brought Janet's body back with an emotionless face.

"Why did it have to end this way?" asked Kagome to no one in particular. Mrs. Higurashi

wrapped her arms around Kagome and hugged her. Everyone sat around the lobby and mourned

for Janet's death.

"You promised you would always be there for me." whispered Kagome. "You lied to me.

Now I am all alone."
