I just wrote this during class, during the time I was supposed to be 'working'. And so I came across it tonight when I was digging through my backpack, and now I'm typing this while I'm suppose to be doing my 'homework'. I'm just a really terrible procrastinator.

Disclaimer: When I wished for Inu Yasha on a star, the star moved. That's when I learned that the 'star' was an airplane.

It's quiet funny really.

How this all started that is.

A burning desire to beat someone that was supposably better that me. Then I started sharpening those skills that I was lacking.

But I never quite surpassed that person. I always fall just short. That is always the case, I never can match up.

Then they left...

The person who made me what I have become, leaves. Without a word or a glance of recognition, they just left.

I was left to better myself so as to erase their memory from everyone's mind.

Slowly. Little by little. Piece by piece. I started to realize what I had become. No one was there for me any more, all that was left was my obsession.

Then cruel, hard life takes that away from me too. After that I had nothing.

Nothing...

That bleak, desolate existence that had become my life. Not a thing awaited me.

I had become a shell of my former existence.

Many knew of my existence, but no one helped me.

That's when I saw him.

Your old foe, a man that had only acknowledged you for but a few brief moments. And he was holding his hand out to me.

It was quiet hilarious, all my friends, companions, people that I have helped before, and even my own adopted son have passed me by.

But this man that had tried to kill me, and that I had almost killed on occasion, was the only one who tried to help me.

Although it was stupid of me, not that I cared at the time, I refused his hand. I told him that it was useless to try to save me.

But gods is that man stubborn.

He grabbed my wrist and yanked me to my feet. Pulling me close he gave me six little words. Then he kissed me.

This man, my former enemy, was kissing me!

That all happened years ago.

My immortality has distorted my awareness of years. But no matter how much time passes, I can still hear his words ringing in my ears.

I can hear it as clearly as if he was whispering them into my ear, although I know he couldn't be. For my love is still asleep.

His words, the precious little words that brought me back.

'Here's a reason to live Kagome.'

My love, my life, my reason.

Sesshomaru.

: : End Story : :

Akikazu: even though it's short I love this.

Kejie: I don't.

Akikazu: you don't love anything.

Kejie: I love suffering.

Akikazu: Anyway, bye people.
