Undying Love
St. Valentine's Day
Since July 4, 2005 Sesshomaru and I have become inseparable. As we spent more times together we became more than friends over the months. We started as strangers, to friends, to best friends, to close friends, and finally into a deeper relationship….that in the end we became girlfriend and boyfriend. Inuyasha wasn't happy at first at my decision of being friends with his half-brother, but seeing how I made him happy and he made me happy made all the difference. Inuyasha wished us well and luck for our relationship. Also as well, support from Sango, Miroku, Kikyo, and my family. Since the day we met at the park, Sesshomaru had been coming over almost everyday like a second home to him to the shrine. And ever since that holiday our relationship became closer and we celebrated July 4th sometimes at the park or at the shrine.
But as time goes on…it seemed to stop against Sesshomaru and me for some reason. Like faith didn't want us together. I'll never forget that day…the day that ruined my life and destroyed my Sesshomaru in the end.
It was February 14, 2010 at the moment…. But the unexpected event that had occurred next had nearly killed me and my heart.
5 years I have been with my Sesshomaru. 5 years I seemed to have fallen deeper in love with him as he was with me. I remembered it well that he declared his love to me. Sure he said I love you countless times as we gone out….but when it happened I knew he meant it with all his heart….
February 13
Tomorrow was Valentine's Day, Kagome couldn't wait. Sesshomaru had said earlier that he had a BIG surprise for her on Valentine's Day. She argued that he didn't need to do all that, all she wanted was alone time with him and a nice warm kiss and she'd be happy. But he spoke otherwise saying that she deserved better and he would get it for her. So now here Kagome was…at the mall. She couldn't hold her excitement, she had been told to buy a formal dress for the occasion giving her the chance to shop with her, female, best friend.
"I wonder what the surprise is." Sango said looking through the racks of dresses making faces at each one she passed.
Kagome dreamily sighed, "Don't know, don't care as long as it's with Sesshy" she looking through as well.
Sango laughed, "Wow I still can't believe that you met on Independence Day…good thing we didn't stay." she wink at her, "Or you wouldn't have met prince charming." she teased.
"Yea I know…but really I don't need any surprises for V-Day, I just want to cuddle with my Sesshy and be alone…that's it." she sighed looking at a black dress but placed it back.
Sango rolled her eyes, "You're too modest Kagome! That's why he does it!" she looked at a pink dress that was puffy and nearly gagged.
Kagome pouted and made a face, "So if I weren't too modest he wouldn't treat me spoiled?"
"Iie, because you're you Kagome, and you can never, not be modest." Sango joked.
Kagome pouted some more and looked around for her dress. When she turned around was when she fell in love with the first dress she saw. She picked out and ran to the dressing room, with Sango wondering what she had chosen. She waited a good 5 minutes when she heard a squeal of delight.
"Kagome! Let me see!" Sango persisted getting annoyed.
Kagome unlocked the door and came out looking ravishing. She had a red hot dress that curved to her body like a second skin. It was not tight and it was not loose either, but perfect. The straps went around her neck leaving her shoulders and the back bare. The V-neck showed not a lot of cleavage but outlined her breasts. The dress came up to her knees and had long slits to the sides of her dress slowing a bit of her thigh. It had a black rose at the bottom to make it stand out for a perfect Valentine's dress. It was so perfect that it was like it was made for Kagome.
"Omg! Kagome you look hot!" Sango said and emphasizing her point she fanned herself.
Kagome blushed, "Arigato"
"It's perfect! You gotta get it!" she urged her.
"You think he'll like it?" she said nervously twisting her finger around the hem of her dress.
"Girl, he'll love it! He'll be begging you, or better yet drooling at your feet. And if he don't, which I doubt, then he's gay." she crossed her arms and grinned.
Kagome laughed "Arigato Sango…I'll get it."
"By hell you will! And if you don't…" she laughed, "…I will."
Kagome shook her head and went back inside the dressing room to change. When she finished she took her dress and went to pay. The price was fair and she happy for it. She and Sango walked out of the store and headed out to the parking lot.
"Enough about me…how are you and Miroku?" Kagome asked grinning.
Sango waited for Kagome to unlock her car to get in, "What's there to say? He's a pervert and won't stop touching my behind." she scoffed.
"Suure…soo what is the hentai planning for you for V-Day?" she unlocked the car and placed her dress at the back.
Sango got it the car followed by Kagome, "Probably something perverted I bet." she sighed.
"Stop thinking negative that's probably what he wants you to think, he probably has something planned out romantic for you." Kagome reasoned and started the car and then pulled out of the parking space.
Sango sighed, "I guess you're right."
"No, I know I'm right." Kagome grinned keeping her eyes on the road.
Kagome dropped Sango home after saying her byes. She then headed home and parked her car. She took out her bag that her dress was put in and carried it up the steps of the shrine. When she reached the top she spotted her boyfriend waiting for her. She ran to him and gave him a hug as he spun her around. He placed her down and gave a hello kiss.
"How was your day?" Kagome muttered as he placed his forehead on hers.
"Tiring, but you make it all better." he whispered.
"Aww really?"
"Iie, you make it worst." he teased.
Kagome pouted and backed away from his embrace. She then started walking to the entrance of her houses, only to be stopped by strong arms around her waist to stop her from behind.
"I'm only kidding, koi." Sesshomaru bent down and kissed her on the cheek.
"How can I tell the difference?" she huffed and crossed her arms.
"Gomen koi, what can I do to make it better?" he kissed her ear all the way down to her collarbone and started sucking on it.
Kagome flinched "Sessh…I have enough hickies as it is! My okaa is not gonna be pleased when I say it wasn't cause of allergies."
Sesshomaru stopped sucking and kissed her on her cheek again "What can I say…you're addictive Kagome" he said husky.
Kagome rolled her eyes and continued walking breaking the embrace. Sesshomaru followed beside her and noticed the bag.
"Went shopping? What did you get?" he asked.
"A dress." she simply answered opening the door.
He caught her once again in an embrace. "May I see it?" he whispered into her ear.
"Iie, you wait until Valentine's Day." she smirked as she felt him frown.
"You know how we can make Valentine's Day come faster?" he grinned slyly.
"Iie…how?" she smirked.
He didn't answer but turned her and kissed her deeply into her red lips. His tongue seeks out to play as it licked the outer lips of Kagome's as his hands tasseled into her hair. Kagome complied and opened her mouth with her tongue out to play as her arms went around his neck. Wrestling each with their tongues until Sesshomaru was dominated and searched through her caverns of mysteries. They were into the kiss until a certain somebody had to ruin the mood.
"Kagome! That's nasty go get a room" Souta cringed at his onee-chan swapping saliva with another guy.
Sesshomaru was about to pull away but Kagome on the other hand, had an objection to her brother's words and pulled her boyfriend closer. She opened her eyes that she had closed during the kiss and glanced over to her brother who was making gagging sounds and smirked. Sesshomaru felt that smirk and opened his eyes to see hers were directing to her brother. She was doing this purposely to get her brother annoyed.
"Chikusho Kagome! I know you can hear me and I know you're just doing that to make me sick but come on! I just ate!"
With no response he grinned and called out, "Okaa! She's doing it again!"
Kagome immediately broke the kiss and gritted her teeth at her brother. Her okaa warned her that if she couldn't control her hormones for her boyfriend that he won't come back into this house ever again until she did. Kagome knew she was lying because she was happy to have another Tashio in the house, but she was still her okaa.
"Souta" she said in a dangerous tone and lounged for him.
She would've gotten him too, if Sesshomaru hadn't pulled her back allowing her otouto run free. As she watched him run she looked angrily up at her boyfriend.
"You just had to save him, didn't you?" she pouted angrily.
"Of course, if you kill him now who are you gonna kill later?" he grinned, tightening his grip.
Kagome huffed, "You, if you don't loosen your arms."
Sesshomaru let go off her and tilted her chin up and placed a chasten kiss.
"I gotta get going now I have to get my bike to the shop to fix." he said as he let go of her chin.
Kagome scowled, "Motorcycles are dangerous. Why do you have to ride that thing?"
"Because if getting on a motorcycle is what it takes to get you to worry about me, to show that you love me, then I must" he smirked kissing her forehead and making space for them.
Sesshomaru caught the dangerous glare and added, "I'll be careful just make sure you're ready at 6 PM tomorrow, ne?
Kagome sighed and smiled as she nodded, "Hai, I will…ja ne koi."
"Ja koi." He said waving and heading out the door, with Kagome watching him go until he's form disappeared.
Kagome closed the door, and then ran up the stairs and into her room. She closed it and dropped her bag and dropped herself back into her bed. Hmmm…I wonder what he has planned for me…
Kagome fell asleep for a couple hours until her brother came in splashing a bucket of water on her for her to wake up and have dinner. She screamed her head off and chased Souta around the house all soaking and dripping wet.
"You'd think they'd act their age by now." Mrs. Higurashi sighed as she sipped her tea while the 2 adults that were her kids ran after each other.
"Be happy dear, Kagome is going to move out sometime soon, probably with Sesshomaru and Souta will start his first year in college." Jii-chan pointed out.
Mrs. Higurashi sighed, "I know…I know….I know."
When Kagome changed into dry clothes, after tackling her brother for that stunt, they had dinner and headed to bed.
OOO
Sesshomaru headed to a friend of his, garage to tune up his bike.
"Oi Sesshomaru, what can I do for you?" the mechanic asked.
"Kouga….I need you to check up if everything's good." he answered pointing back to his bike.
Kouga went over and started to inspect it. He twisted and turn things to make sure they were working fine and turned the engine to hear it roar. He eased his hand over the exterior for any scratches and such, before nodding and turned back to his friend.
"Hmm…I'll have it done tomorrow, can you pick it up at 5 or 6?"
"I have a date, I'll pick it up on the 15th." he answered.
Kouga grinned, "Still the same woman? Wow she must be special."
"Of course she is." he glared at him bored.
Kouga chuckled, "5 years…5 long years is your longest relationship yet, you know that?"
"I plan to make it longer…say marriage?" Sesshomaru pointed out
Kouga whistled, "Phew, big step for you and the gal."
"She's my life and I want her in it." he merely said turning away to head out.
"I'll have it done at probably 5! Have fun!" he laughed after that last statement.
Sesshomaru thought about his conversation with Kouga. I love Kagome and I want her in my life forever…. With that said he headed out went to do some things.
OOO
February 14
Kagome woke up, showering, and dressed up in her uniform for work. She sighed sadly at the fact of working on Valentine's Day. She shrugged as she looked to her clock to see it was 9 in the morning. She made some breakfast knowing her okaa was still asleep. She had some eggs and toast and some coffee to wake her up. When she finished, she headed out and went to pick up Sango. She and Sango had a part time job at a coffee shop for the moment. Kagome was looking for the kind of job that made good money that she could live alone with when she moved out of the shrine. But until then, was working part time jobs with Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha at the coffee shop. It made good money for now $50 an hour. When she arrived in front of Sango's house, she honked her horn and waited for a bit. Minutes later Sango came running out of her house, she went over to Miroku's house and banged on the door to tell him Kagome was here.
Sango was saving up money for a car. Since the death of her father 4 years ago, she had to save up money for Kohaku's college, bills, food, clothing, etc. So Sango didn't have a ride for now and had Kagome drive her around. Miroku used to have a car….until he totaled it.
Miroku came out of his house jumping on one leg trying to get the other to close the door and had his hands tangled up getting out his keys and jacket. Sango laughed as she helped him with his juggling of things. She closed the door and helped him with his jacket, allowing him to stand straight and lock up his house.
"You're a saint Sango-koi." he sighed as they walked to Kagome's car.
Once inside they headed to work and from there it was all work and no fun.
OOO
"Are you deaf woman? …yes like I ordered." Sesshomaru said into his cell phone. "I want them delivered at that address with the note, got it!"
Sesshomaru snapped his cell phone to a close. He rubbed his temples at the lack of obedience people had these days. Sesshomaru grumbled as he went back to work.
"Baka onna, can't even get the directions straight…..I ask to do a certain thing for the roses I sent and make a note to go with it, she gets confused!" he gritted out loud. "She better not mess this up," he added as he checked his watch to see it was 2 PM.
He went back to work, in 3 more hours he needed to get ready for his surprise he had for his koi.
OOO
Kagome looked at her watch and sighed happily. Her shift was over and it was time to get ready.
"Sango I'm leaving now…are you sure you're gonna be okay?" she asked.
Sango waved her hand, "Yea positive, Inuyasha can drive me and Miroku home, you just have fun, go, go!" she literally pushed her out the door and closed it behind her.
Kagome waved bye to her friends and went into her car driving back to her home. Once arrived she run up the steps and hurried inside. She shouted a quick hello to her family before rushing into her room to dress up. She looked to her clock to see it was 5:10. She discarded her uniform and took a shower. She dried off and placed a towel around her as she went to get her dress. She laid the dress on her bed and removed the towel as she placed the dress in placed of it. Once it was on Kagome sighed deeply and combed her hair. She had it dried with her hair dyer and fixed her hair into a bun with two strands of her bangs in front of her face. She put on pink lip gloss and a little red eye shadow. She then took her black 3 inch high heels and placed it on. Once finished she sighed closing her eyes and looked into a mirror to see a whole different girl she's used to seeing every morning. Kagome looked to her clock to see only 10 minutes left and fetched her purse. She then emerged from her room and walked down the steps. At the foot of the steps were Souta, Mrs. Higurashi, and her jii-chan mouth dropped of how gorgeous she looked. She blushed and stood there waiting for them to say something.
"Is that my little Kagome?" asked jii-chan first to recover.
"Hai jii-chan" she giggled.
"Onee-chan I was gonna wish you luck and knock him dead but I guess that's not necessary now huh?" Souta joked.
"Arigato Souta" she punched him lightly.
She then turned to her mother who was near to tears as she said, "Kagome you look beautiful!" she then hugged her.
"Okaa! This isn't my first date with Sesshomaru." she whined.
Her mother was acting like this was her first date with a boy or was going to lose her, something like that.
"I know, but from my point of view, this is the best you looked from all the dates." she smiled.
Kagome shook her head and heard the door. She let go of her mother and went to open the door. When she opened the door, she was mentally drooling a river at Sesshomaru's looks. He had a black suit with a red shirt inside the jacket, just for the sake of Valentine's Day. Sesshomaru too wasn't doing not to different from her, as he observed her from top to bottom and bottom to top.
"Someone looks sekushi and it's not me." Sesshomaru smirked.
"Wanna bet." Kagome challenged him crossing her arms.
"Are you gonna flirt all day or are you gonna go out." Souta called from inside.
But it was then silenced as Mrs. Higurashi pulled him away from the door along with her otou. Kagome stepped out the door and followed Sesshomaru to his black Mercedes car. Once settled in Sesshomaru handed her a blind fold.
"Don't wanna spoil the surprise." he grinned.
Kagome accepted the blind fold and placed it over her eyes making everything black. Sesshomaru waved a hand over the blind fold to make sure before starting the car. Kagome felt the car move and sat back silently waiting until they arrived to whatever they were supposed to be that he made as a surprise.
"That dress looks beautiful on you." she heard him say.
"Arigato…you're not too bad yourself" she smirked.
Sesshomaru glanced at her at the corner of his eyes, "That's it?" he said acting like he was offended.
Kagome sighed and rolled her eyes that she was sure Sesshomaru couldn't see as she said "Ok, you look really hot, handsome, and drop dead gorgeous. That would make Apollo jealous, Happy?"
Sesshomaru smirked, that was more than asked for but it would do "Only with you Kagome-koi"
Kagome then felt the car come to a stop. She lost track of the directions and turns taken so she was completely clueless of where they were.
"Can I open my eyes no-"
Before she could finish her sentence Sesshomaru captured her lips roughly. And she could feel a hand riding up her dress. When he let go to let her breathe, he stepped out of the car and closed it. Kagome was unsure if she was to take the blinds off or not. But she guessed not because just before she tried untying the blinds covering her eyes a door opened and halted her two hands.
"Nah uh, uh Kagome, not yet." he said taking her hand and helping her step out the car.
Sesshomaru closed the door behind her and helped guide her way. She heard soft waves and wondered if she was at the lake or by a dock of some sort. Sesshomaru smiled and reached to their destination. He then stopped and let go of her.
"Ok…Now." he answered.
Kagome reached for the blind fold and let the cloth drop to the floor when she stared in awe at the bench they were at. There was a soft melody playing from a radio nearby, the waves were calm and smoothing to her ears. She looked to see a table for 2 on the sand with a candlelit. She looked around to see there was no one swimming or playing in the sand or sort. If there people there, it would be her, Sesshomaru, and the waiters that would be serving them.
"Sesshomaru…I don't know what to say….it's beautiful…" she said looking over to him who was as calm as the waves of the ocean.
"Don't say anything then." he smiled taking her hand and leading her to the table. "This isn't worth comparing to you and your beauty." he took her chair out for her to sit. "And only that beauty deserves the best." he whispered as she sat and went to take his seat.
Kagome was blushing madly at words that were never said to her. In other words, she was speechless. Sesshomaru called over a waiter who handed them their menu.
"Let's start with salad." Sesshomaru instructed as he looked through the menu.
The waiter went to get their appetizers while they choose what they wanted for the main course. Once choose what they wanted, the menu was taken and they were left to talk.
"Sesshomaru, you didn't have to do this." Kagome drank her water.
Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, "But I wanted to." he smirked as he saw her blush forming.
The waiter returned and presented them with 2 salads. He then took their order.
"Steak, medium rare" he answered.
"Lasagna" she smiled to the waiter as he wrote it up and leaving once again.
"So, how long have you been planning this." Kagome looked at him suspicious.
Sesshomaru ate some of his salad and answered, "Hmm…a week?"
Kagome's eyes widened and he laughed; "Ok it was 1 month, couldn't help it." he shrugged.
Kagome shook her head, "You're an idiot Sesshomaru." she sighed.
Sesshomaru smirked, "But I'm your idiot." he took her hand.
"What did I do to deserve such torture." she giggled teasingly.
He stroked her hand with his fingers "By being born into this world and having you as my koibito." he looked deeply into her eyes seeing the spark to her blue eyes in the gray smokiness.
When their food arrived, they talked about some funny things, serious things, and things that didn't even matter. But in the end both were having fun of each other's companies.
"Hmm… how about dessert?" Kagome suggested.
Sesshomaru shook his head, "Gomen, no dessert Kagome-koi." he smirked.
"And why not?" she pouted.
"Because I'm the dessert." he flirted with her.
Kagome put her finger to her chin as she said, "Aw, but I wanted cake."
Sesshomaru frowned at her making her giggled, "But I don't mind having Sesshy flavor" she got up and went over to him as she sat on his lap.
She placed her hands on his face pulling it up to hers as she kissed him deeply. After about 3 minutes of being stuck to each other's lips that were hard to pry open, they took a breath that they seemed to have lost during the kiss. Kagome then noticed that right on table was some strawberry short cake. She licked her lips and got a fork and broke a piece. She brought to her mouth and devoured the piece. She spotted Sesshomaru's hand going to the cake and tapped it away with her fork.
"My cake" she smiled making Sesshomaru frown.
Kagome broke another piece and placed it just before Sesshomaru's mouth. Sesshomaru opened his mouth to eat the piece of strawberry until she pulled it away and swallowed it again. He made a sound resembling a growl at her. Kagome smirked as she broke a piece and fed it to him. They did this until there was no more cake.
"Aw, you finished my cake." she pouted at the empty dish.
Sesshomaru chuckled, "That's okay; I prefer my other dessert better."
He pulled Kagome down into another deep kiss and could taste the strawberry short cake as he licked the inside her mouth and out. When he finished he licked his lips.
"Mmm that was better than the cake" he grinned.
Kagome got up from his lap and took off her high heels. Sesshomaru already missing the heat from her body tried to grab her to sit back down, only to have Kagome dodge his hands and run with her heels in hand and her feet bare in the sand. Sesshomaru stood up and shook his head as he went after her. Sesshomaru chased Kagome to the water where she splashed him and laughed hard when he looked down to his suit.
"You're gonna pay for that." he said smoothly as he ran after her.
When they reached the dry parts of the sand, he pounced on her and they both fell back into the sand.
"Sessh you missed up my dressed!" she pouted pointing to her dress that had sand on it.
Sesshomaru smirked, "And you drenched my suit, now we're even."
"No, we're not!" she exclaimed as she jumped over him making him lay on his back on the sand and her on top of him grinning. "Now we're even."
She leaned down and kissed him lightly on his lips before getting up and running back to the table. Sesshomaru stood up and followed behind. After that encounter, Sesshomaru took Kagome home, this time without the blindfold. When she arrived home, he walked her to her door like he did numerous of times that was followed by a kiss.
"I had a great time…arigato Sesshomaru." she smiled against his lips.
"Anytime my koi." he kissed her and waved goodbye as she entered her home.
She looked to the time to see it was 2 in the morning and she was exhausted. She had to take another shower because of the sand caused by Sesshomaru. But once she was free from the sand, she dropped tired on her bed and found sleep with a certain man on her mind.
OOO
February15
Kagome woke up at 11 in the morning. She stretched and yawned. She was glad she didn't have work today. She dressed up in a green skirt and a white blouse and headed down the stairs where her family was eating breakfast.
"Ohayo sleepy head, had fun last night?" Mrs. Higurashi asked.
"Hai, lots." she yawned and ate some toast.
"If you're that tired, you must've had loads of fun." Souta grinned evilly.
"Iie! Not like that….I swear Souta you're becoming a Miroku." she slapped him in the head.
"Hmm…now there's a thought." he said as he dodged the incoming smack from his sister.
"Oh while you were asleep Sango called and asked that you call her back, I guess she wants you to tell her about your date." Souta bit into his toast.
Kagome ate her breakfast and headed for the phone. She dialed Sango's number and waited for her to pick up.
"Moshi moshi Sango here!"
"Oi Sango how was your V-Day with the hentai?" asked Kagome.
"Ah, it wasn't bad, you were right for once the hentai didn't set anything up perverted, but a reservation to a nice restaurant, how did yours go?"
"Hmm…it was beautiful…not to brag but it was a candlelit dinner by the beach, it was nice…had a nice talk, ate dinner, shared dessert, did a little chase around in the beach." she giggled at the memory.
"Wow sounds like you had a great time….shared dessert huh?" Sango chuckled.
"Yes I had a good time and yes we shared a strawberry short cake." she said matter- of-fact.
"Uh huh liar, what else?"
Kagome groaned she hated her that Sango could tell she was lying, "Ok, we shared a kiss or two, happy?" she grumbled.
"See what a little nagging could do." Sango chirped on the phone.
"Yea you seem good at that." Kagome looked at her nails.
"Aw don't hate Kaggy, love!" Sango laughed but then stopped after a little while "Oh hey I gotta go, you don't know how much work needs to be done here." she sighed.
Kagome smiled, "Okay, call sometime, ne?"
"I will! bai bai"
"Bai bai" Kagome said and they hanged up at the same time.
Hmm wonder what I can do to pass the time….oh well. Kagome then went off to do something to occupy herself. She decided to go out and visit Inuyasha, since she hadn't talked to him in awhile. So getting her keys she set out and headed over.
OOO
Sesshomaru looked at his watch it was 4 PM and almost time to pick up his bike. He sighed and decided to walk over there since it was just a couple of blocks from where he stood.
OOO –sad part starts! Beware-
Kagome drove her car over to Inuyasha's house but then heard clunking from her car. Chikusho…what the hell! Kagome grumbled angrily getting annoyed by the noises, so when she spotted a gas station with a mechanic at his garage she turned there. That's when her car died out. Kagome groaned and got out her car. Baka car! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! She mentally screamed at the car as she kicked it to show her frustration.
"Kicking it won't help miss." said a voice behind her.
Kagome turned and muttered to the guy that stood with long black hair into a ponytail with a headband over it, "So? It deserved it."
The guy laughed, "So, what seems to be the problem?"
"Can't you see?" she grumbled angrily as she crossed her arms looking at the car.
The mechanic shook his head "Iie, I meant like what happened and explain to me what it did so I know what's the problem." he explained.
Kagome sighed running her hand through her hair explaining "I was heading over to my friend's house and the car just started to make noise and wouldn't stop so I go wanted to have it checked and it just died."
"Hmmm….I'll take a look." he nodded.
"Arigato….err…"
"Kouga…Ookami Kouga at your services…I'd shake hands but as you can see my hands are messy." he chuckled showing his greasy hands.
Kagome smiled, "That's okay, Higurashi, Kagome you're a car saver." she joked.
"Kagome? As in Sesshomaru's girlfriend?" he asked popping the hood of the car and looking into it.
"Yea…how do you know that?"
Kouga did a few adjustments before answering, "Customer/friend of mine…talks about you all the time, seems crazy about you." he looked back at her over his shoulder and grinned.
Kagome blushed, "H-he does?"
"Oh sure …says he loves ya to death….cute ain't it?"
"Yea." she rubbed her shoulder with her other arm.
"Hmm….seems that you have some parts those need to be replaced because it's busted up …. When was the last time you gave your car a check up?" he asked.
"Uhh…never, I didn't know that cars need ….checkups." she said slowly embarrassed.
Kouga grinned, "That's okay, I'll give it a check up now and you can pick it up tomorrow." he comforted her.
"Okay…but how do I get home?"
Kouga waved his rag, "Relax Sesshomaru will be here to pick up his bike today."
"When?"
"Now." Sesshomaru answered behind her.
Kagome turned to see her boyfriend there. She looked around for his car, but seems he didn't bring it.
"Kagome what are you doing here?" asked Sesshomaru gazing at her green skirt.
"Hey eyes up here buddy." Sesshomaru looked up to her eyes, "That's a good boy…My car was starting to make some noise when I was on my way to Inuyasha's …but I turned for here to have it checked and it broke down." she said with a shrug.
Sesshomaru sighed, "I'll give you a lift."
Kagome's eyes brightened. "You will!"
Sesshomaru nodded and lead her into the garage where there awaited his motorcycle. Kagome looked at it then at Sesshomaru.
"You're taking this?" she asked gulping.
"Yea…get on I'll give you a ride." he said putting on his helmet.
"Don't you…" she stuttered, "Have another ride?"
"Iie…my car is at my house unless you wanna wait here?" he raised his brow.
Kagome sighed, "Fine" she gulped and jumped on behind him.
"Gomen I only have one helmet…I didn't expect you to be here." he apologized.
Kagome nodded her head in understanding. Sesshomaru then started the bike and it made a roar. Kagome pursed her lips together and held Sesshomaru tightly. Sesshomaru rode it out the garage and stopped by Kouga.
"Everything's in order?"
"Few glitches here and there, but be careful." Kouga warned.
"I'll be back tomorrow for Kagome's car." Sesshomaru looked back at Kagome who was holding him for dear life.
Kouga nodded, "Should be done at 4, I guess." he shrugged.
"Arigato." Kagome mumbled.
Kouga waved bye to them as they drove off. Kagome could feel the wind blow through her hair. She cracked an eye open to see that they were on the high way. She cursed herself for driving to Inuyasha's house. But it would've happen sooner or later. Sesshomaru drove on and feeling Kagome's warm body against his, smiled down to her as she sat up straight. He looked at his mileage and noticed he was going faster than he's supposed to. A shiver rode up his spine and it wasn't the wind. He sensed danger and Kagome was gonna be in the middle of it. The last thing he needed was Kagome getting hurt. (Poem 1)
Kagome felt them go faster and faster, this may be her first time riding on a motorcycle but she knew better that this was over the speed limit.
"Sesshomaru please slow down." she asked at a little scared.
Sesshomaru felt tears in his eyes and he tried blocking it out.
"Hold me tighter." he said, not responding to her request.
Kagome looked up to him like he was crazy but did it to make him slow down. But the speed stayed the same and didn't slow down one bit. She looked at her surroundings pass her in a blur.
"Sesshomaru please slow down." she asked again getting a bit frightened.
"Take my helmet….and secure it on you" he said calmly trying not to sound worried.
Kagome was starting to get annoyed but did it anyway. She took his helmet from his head and placed it on hers.
"Will you please slow down now? ….onegai."
Sesshomaru's hair flew all over blocking her way from him. From everything she did, he didn't slow down, he just sped up.
"Sesshomaru what's wrong? Why won't you slow down?"
"I will…just tell me you love me" he said calmly.
Kagome felt tears forming in her eyes but once again followed what he said.
"I love you Sesshomaru and I always will" she answered.
OOO
Souta was watching the news and was sitting bored in his seat. But then a headline caught his eyes. He watched in horror and jumped up to get his okaa.
"Okaa! We need to go to the hospital…NOW!"
News Report
News report has been informed that just recently a black motorcycle has collided with incoming traffic. With the speed of 150 mph. with the brakes loose reporting that 2 riders that have been on it was 1 male and 1 female. The female seems have suffered minor injures due to the helmet she wore while the male is in critical condition he didn't have any protection, there seems to be no more victims hurt while in this accident…. That is all stay tuned for more.
OOO
Mrs. Higurashi, Souta, jii-chan, Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Kikyo arrived at the hospital. They ran in to see if their friends were alright.
"Where's my baby?" Mrs. Higurashi screamed.
Inuyasha growled and went up to the nurse demanding, "Where's Kagome Higurashi and Sesshomaru Tashio's room?"
The nurse looked up at him, "Higurashi is just down that hall you may see her as for Tashio he's in critical condition and you can't see him now."
With that said the gang went down the hall and literally busted down the door. There lay Kagome fine with no injures but a few scratches, but she didn't seem ok as she cried her eyes out.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault." she chanted over and over.
"Kagome honey, it isn't your fault." Mrs. Higurashi came over to her and comforted rubbing her back.
"Yea, it was just an accident." Sango ran her fingers through her hair.
"Iie…IIE!" she screamed startling everyone as she cried, "If he didn't give me his helmet I wouldn't have like this and he wouldn't be in that room right now!"
"Don't blame yourself! That teme had you ride his bike with him!" Inuyasha countered. "He risked both yours and his life."
"Iie Inuyasha! I needed a ride…he didn't have to give it to me, but he did! …he risked his life to save mine!" she cried.
"Shhh….it's ok …it's ok."
"Sesshomaru….gomen….gomen" she whispered.
OOO
After awhile the doctor confirmed that they could see Sesshomaru, but he seems unconscious. Helping Kagome to her feet they went down to Sesshomaru's room and found him beaten up. Kagome looked at him in horror of what she had done. His hair and skin were no longer soft or silky to the touch but beat up and blooded due to the accident. She broke down crying and her family and friends tried comforting her. After awhile the gang left Kagome alone with Sesshomaru to give her some time. Kagome limped over to him, sat down, and held his hand. She brushed the blooded bangs that were on his majestic face. Even if he looked damaged and ugly now to the eyes, but to her heart he was still the same, beautiful guy she met 5 years ago at that park.
"Sesshomaru…koi….can you hear me?" she whispered sadly, "This is the worst girlfriend in the world talking." she sniffled, "Gomen nasai you have to go through this…gomen nasai I made you like this…gomen nasai that you're dying because of me! Gomen…I'm so sorry…onegai Sesshomaru onegai be okay." she whispered, "I never wanted this to happen….Sesshomaru…you did so much for me….you didn't have to do it…but you did….SESSHOMARU don't go! I love you!" she broke down crying heaving heavy breaths.
"K-kagome" hoarse voice called.
Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru barely opening his eyes and he was breathing heavily.
"Sesshomaru!" she hugged him, "Please don't die on me, onegai, don't! Ai shiteru! Shimatta! Don't you dare!"
Sesshomaru gave her a weak smile "Ai shiteru too Kagome…" he lifted his hand to her face wiping her tears as she touched his hand, "…But."
"Iie…IIE …No buts!"
"Kagome just hear me out onegai…you know as well as me Kagome that I won't survive …I just want you to know…that you made my life Kagome…you're the best thing that ever happened to me and I'll never forget that…you don't forget that," he smiled looking up at her teary face. "But before I go…for my death wish….I want you to move on, I don't want you to live a life of heartache and pain because of me…promise me that you will live happy and won't close your beautiful heart to the world…promise me? Onegai? For me…"
"I promise." she whispered.
"Good….now…smile for me one last time…onegai...and before I die I want to hear those words from you with a smile and one last taste from you my koi."
She made sniffled and made a big smile for him as she said, "Sesshomaru my koi I will always love you whether you're dead or alive you'll always be in my heart." she smiled.
She leaned down and embraced him as she gave her last kiss. She felt his warm mouth against hers and smiled…and felt him smile. She pulled away and watched him close his eyes, smiling.
"Kagome-koi….keep your promise….and I know…that I will always…love…yo-you" was Sesshomaru's words as his heart beep dropped.
"Sess-sesshomaru" she cried.
The nurse came in and looked at the monitor. She put a hand on Kagome's shoulder in apology for her loss as the girl cried.
OOO
Days later….they held a funeral for Sesshomaru, for all that knew him. There were a lot of people, but most were just employees of his. All wearing black to commemorate the dead, family and friends were now given the chance to speak those closest to Sesshomaru Tashio spoke.
"Sesshomaru Tashio was my aniki….we didn't get along with each other very well when we grew up…but as time went on my aniki and I had a couple of times where we could just sit down and talk….sometimes I regret not talking to him for my childish behaviors, and now I know I was right…rest in peace aniki." Inuyasha spoke as he touched his aniki's marble white coffin and sat down.
"Sesshomaru….was the closest friend I ever had and my best customer as well." Kouga sighed as he stood, "The damn guy was always the cold ruthless one back then….but then as time grew on." he looked to the sad girl with a black veil on her head, "He fell in love and opened his heart and it made me proud…I'm happy to know that Sesshomaru learned to love another before his death….may he rest in peace." he bowed and sat back down.
Kagome sucked a lot a breath before she stood up and walked over to the coffin as she spoke "Tashio, Sesshomaru….funny to know that the man I fell in love with I met of Independence Day of 2005…he would always make me blush and laugh…heck he embarrassed me a few times." she chuckled. "That damn man….he's was always giving me the best and I felt bad that I couldn't return it yet he always said that I deserved better and he would get it for me…I laughed at that….stubborn fool." She sighed looking over to his picture on the coffin. "I love that man with all my heart and I yearn for him…but with his final words…he wished for me to move on with my life to leave my heart open to the world to see and not close it just for him." Kagome blinked back the tears as she looked to the sky hoping to see Sesshomaru's spirit watching over this, "I shall keep that promise….because in my heart I still hold him as much as I love him as he loves me….Sesshomaru whether in heaven or hell." she chuckled and sniffled, "I will always love you."
With a couple more words from other people they gave their final goodbyes as they watched the men lower down the coffin into the 6 ft deep hole, then sealing it up. Kagome bent down and touched the tombstone. She gave her final goodbyes as she stood up and walked away.
OOO
A week later after his death…Kagome sat bored in the house. She was not gonna be sad throughout the day or that would break the promise to Sesshomaru. So she placed a smile on her face for all to see, but deep in her heart it burned and it hurt her deeply. Kagome sighed and watched TV.
"Oi Kagome it's for you." Souta called from the door.
Kagome stood up and went to the door. There stood a delivery man with a bouquet of roses.
"Who are these from?" she asked as she signed the clip board saying she had gotten them.
"Tashio, Sesshomaru." the man answered.
"Bu-But he passed away how could he-"
"Gomen miss but there was a mistake in the order, you were supposed to get these flowers last week on February 15 and they accidentally put 25. Gomen." he said handing it to her. "Have a nice day." he ended as he walked away.
Kagome looked at the roses and smelled them; all except one which was fake and red while the rest were white and real. She sighed happily and saw a note on it as well. Curious she took out the letter and read the little paper. (Poem 2)
To my Koi Kagome,
Each rose stands for the months in a year we have together. Even though one white rose shall die each month shall the red rose live forever….and shall that rose live forever, my love for you shall forever live as well…Ai shiteru my koi….
Sesshomaru Tashio
Kagome looked at the bouquet of roses and there stood the fake red rose in the middle of the surrounding 11 white roses. She smiled and held the card by her heart. And shall my love for you Sesshomaru Tashio live forever as well….
As I lived on…I followed that promise… I never did close my heart to the world and I did find love. I married Kouga Ookami and had 2 wonderful kids, one boy and a girl. The girl being named Sakura and the boy named after my love Sesshomaru. I found a good paying job at the office in a building. I moved out of the shrine living in a nice house not to far from home with my family. I may love Kouga by marriage….but my heart was still and forever will be in the hands of Sesshomaru Tashio….my koi…my koibito…my koishii….my life…my soulmate….and forever shall be as long as I live…..
A/N: How was that? This is my first time making a tragedy fic with romance. Really I love romances but I hate sad endings…it's like Romeo and Juliet. Such beautiful love for one another then bestowed with such harsh reality of one's death or betrayal. Sighh…I was just thinking back to those poems told by my friend and I just felt the need to combine it and make it fictional love. Hahhaha I sound stupid huh? Well, anyway there's my first one-shot fic….not necessary one-shot but you get the point. Just curious….tell me what you think about it. RR
Note: Umm here's the purpose of Poem 1… you see the brakes were loose and Sesshomaru didn't want to tell Kagome, he didn't want her to worry about him. So he asked her to hug him to feel her embrace one last time, he then asked to take his helmet to protect her from getting hurt, and finally the 3 little words incase he didn't make it but knowing she loved him in the end. Just wanted you to know incase you were confused on that one. Hee hee that was the tragic one if you haven't noticed.
Poem 2 hopefully you understood just reading it. But if you didn't…you know how in a bouquet of roses there are 12 roses or a dozen? Well each rose stands for each month. The white roses are real so they don't last long. But for the last red rose, which is fake last forever, so in romantic terms he's saying that the red rose stands for my love for you and as long as it lives my love for you will as long as that. Ha ha that one was the sweet, romantic one. That one was my personal favorite. Well hoped that helped, ja!
