CHAPTER 12:

FROM THE DAY I SAW YOU

A/N: Hi! Thanks for reading this far. I really appreciate it. Well, I'll let you enjoy the rest of the story. Oh, and sorry if I treated Ayame wrong. I like her, I do but…well I can't think right now. Please keep reading.

Chirp-chirp! Chirp-chirp! Inuyasha blocked the sun rays from his golden eyes. "Morning…already…?" He looked to his side to see a sleeping Kikyo. She was so calm and beautiful as the she laid on the bed.

He slowly stroked her head. "Kikyo…" Inuyasha smirked a bit. He had begun to realize how much he had changed…how he became so different. Inuyasha used to didn't care much about things. He used to think that he was the only one in the world suffering. After he saw Kikyo, things changed. From the moment she smiled, something hit Inuyasha's heart. Something awful was in that smile…something painful. She had leukemia.

Inuyasha chuckled a bit. Kikyo…you really changed my life… he looked at Kikyo. Her face was pale but so soft. It was so nice to just be with Kikyo. "Kikyo…" he mumbled. "I think I should go." he got up and washed his face. Then he headed out the door.

Inuyasha finally arrived home. As he opened the door, Sesshomaru walked around, drinking his coffee for the morning.

"You're finally home."

"Yeah." Inuyasha took his coat off.

"Hey. Inuyasha, do you think your love with Kikyo will last?"

Inuyasha gave him a look. "Of course it will!" he snapped.

"Look Inuyasha. Kikyo might recover from leukemia but she won't have long to live. Think about the future Inuyasha. You might get hurt later on if she ever dies."

Inuyasha snapped again. "YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE EACH OTHER, SESSHOMARU! JUST BACK OFF! What do you know anyways!" he stomped up to his room.

"Yes I do, Inuyasha. I feel the same you do about Kikyo." Sesshomaru quietly said to himself.

:X:X:X:X:XX:

Inuyasha laid on his bed. He had calmed down now and thought about Sesshomaru's question. Do you think your love with Kikyo will last? "Would it last, Kikyo?" he couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed out of his room and out of the house into his car. He began to drive to the hospital to see Kikyo again.

Kikyo was looking out the sky when Inuyasha came in his room.

"Kikyo…I need to ask you a question." He said, taking a breath.

"Okay."

He walked up to Kikyo, put his hands on her shoulders and looked her straight in the eye. "Kikyo…you love me don't you?"

"Of course I do." She said without hesitation.

Inuyasha continued on with his question. "Then…you do think our love will last won't you?"

This time Kikyo paused to think. "Of course…"

"Kikyo. I have to ask you this question and I want you to answer it truthfully. "Are you…are you going to die even if you recover from leukemia?"

Kikyo bit her lip. How was she supposed to answer that. "Inuyasha…" she said calmly. "It's a fifty percent chance that…that I will…but…"

Inuyasha closed his eyes. That was all he needed to hear. "So…you will die then."

"No…it's only fifty percent chance. Inuyasha…don't get so down about it."

Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes to look at Kikyo's frail face. "Kikyo…I began to notice that after I met you, I began to change dramatically. I wanted to see you all the time and everyday."

Kikyo blushed. "Inuyasha…? Why are you saying this now?"

"I just wanna say that I love you so much. Okay?"

Kikyo nodded. "Why?"

"Because…I have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen. Also…Sesshomaru said that our love could never survive."

"That's silly. Why do you think he said that?"

Inuyasha thought for a moment. "I have no idea."

"Inuyasha…you always say you love me. Was I your first love?" she asked, a bit embarrassed.

Inuyasha looked at her. It was strange she was asking this but he answered anyway. "Well…actually…no."

Kikyo's heart beated fast. "Who was it?" she thought he was going to say Kagome.

"It was this girl a long time ago. We were child hood friends, really. I told you about her before."

Kikyo looked up at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha. It's weird, but ever since you told me about it, I've been thinking about it. Several years ago…I had a boy childhood friend…and I gave him a stone and…"

It suddenly hit him. "Then…"

Kikyo nodded.

"You are the one. My first and only love." He hugged Kikyo. (A/N: It's corny how they remember…sorry!)

Kikyo hugged him back.

:X:X:X:X:X:XX:X:

Sesshomaru stood outside of the hospital. He smiled as he saw the two hugging outside of the window. Sesshomaru slowly walked into his car. "Kikyo…I hope you are happy with Inuyasha. Maybe…maybe your love will last." He looked back and smiled one more time.

Kikyo had her eyes looking out of the window. When she saw Sesshomaru she was going to tell Inuyasha but Sesshomaru had seen her too and put his index finger on his lip telling her to not tell Inuyasha. He waved goodbye and left. Kikyo made a small wave then looked away. Sesshomaru…he's not so bad…

While Inuyasha was hugging Kikyo, that bad feeling came back. What is that awful feeling I keep having…?

A/N: Hi, this story was short. I didn't know what to write so sorry. Well, next chapter will be longer, I promise!
