"Ms.Wind is in intensive care right now, but I'm afraid Mr.Takahashi is not going to make it." The doctor informed the group, as soon as they got to Shikon Hospital. Kagome choked back another sob, as she hid in Inuyasha's chest. He wrapped his arms tightly around her body, and closed his eyes shut. Sango was sitting with a calm expression on her face, even though two rivers of tears flowed down her cheeks. Miroku was sitting alongside Sango, holding her hand.
"He only has a few minutes of life left." The doctor continued. "Only intermediate family." He added. Kagome pulled apart and went to sit down, but Inuyasha's hand stopped her. "I'm Sesshoumaru's only family." Inuyasha said. "And this is my wife." He said, pulling Kagome closer to him. "Can she come too? Please." He pleaded. The doctor seemed to study the two, and finally nodded. He took them to his room.
Kagome gave another sob as she saw Sesshoumaru's state. His elegant face was burned, his hair dirty and tainted with blood. He had two large gashes on his sides, and he was missing his right arm. She walked towards him and held his hand. He smiled softly, and then winced as he breathed slowly. Inuyasha stood there, watching the two. "We were riding down Tokio." Sesshoumaru began, his voice weak and frail.
Flashback
"Sesshoumaru, please slow down." Kagura asked him, as they rode down the abandoned streets of Tokio. "Don't worry, Kagura, everything will be fine." Sesshoumaru assured her. "Can you take off my helmet and put it on? It's bothering me." Kagura did as told and put Sesshoumaru's helmet on her head. "Kagura . . . Do you love me? Can I hear you say it again?" He asked her softly. "I love you, Sesshoumaru, with all my heart." she responded. "Can you hug me?" She hugged him tight from behind, and then they saw a pair of bright headlights.

"Tell her I love her. Tell her I'm so sorry. Tell her to not do anything rash. Tell her I'll come back for her. Tell her to name our boy Inutashio, like Father. Tell her I need her to be happy . . . For both her and our child's sake. Kagome, thank you for all your support and love and for bringing Kagura to my life. Inuyasha, I know we never got along, but please take good care of yourself. Settle down soon, with someone that truly loves you for you. Tell everyone goodbye for me." He closed his eyes shut and his breathing stopped. Kagome cried hysterically, as her fists pounded the hospital floor. She started screaming and crying, her whole body trembling. Inuyasha took her in his arms, and caressed her back as she cried onto his arms. "His breaks weren't working, Kagome. He asked Kagura to put on the helmet so that she would be safe, and asked her to say she loved him for one last time. He knew the truck was coming, but they were going too fast." Inuyasha whispered quietly.
