Chapter 18: Tenseiga

Authors Note: This is the final chapter, from here on out there will either be a sequel or I will continue to Chapter 19 but from there on it will be a whole different plot. Enjoy.

Sesshomaru's Pov

It had been two weeks since Sango's death, and things still weren't back to normal. I didn't expect them to be; in fact I didn't think they'd ever be again.

I remember this drunken tale clearly…I was the only one sober, or maybe in my case, I was the only one drunk. Drunk on love, fate, desire, and power, all of it, just flat out drunk on life. No…in this drunken tale, I was the drunk one and Sango was sober.

Today was my first day back in school; I had been hunting Naraku down, ever since they hulled Sango's body away…and out of my arms… But the bastard was no where to be found. He 'disappeared' as the cops said. Their wrong, he fled. He fled in fear, fled with his money with no intent of coming back. .He was just like a storm, it comes and does it damage to anyone in its pasth and then it's gone, gone with the wind.

Kohaku had died today, I went by on my way to school, the nurse told me she couldn't figure out why, and no one could. He just died.

But I knew.

Kohaku had given up and joined his family. They were a family again, we should have known from the beginning, Sango and I, the threats, Kohaku's words…

"No Sango it was real…Demons and humans could be together but…you have to die"

He was right. The law had changed; I guess our story made them realize something. It took one human female for millions to get together. So why mine?

Inuyasha said Chicue would be proud. I already knew that, it's all he ever wanted. I guess no one in this family ever gets what they want. Except Inuyasha.

He's doing alright, he's still pretty upset, and he tries to be strong for Kikyou…and me. But when he's alone, I can see it lingering on his face, his golden eyes drifting off a certain sadness I understand completely. And then he looks at me, his eyes coming back to normal as we hold each others gaze and then…the moment is gone. We understand each other, nothing needs to be done. We both know nothing will ever be the same again.

I often pass Kagome in the hallways, nothings the same for her either. She's grown to a perfect replica of both Inuyasha and myself…well my previous self. She's grown quiet like she's hardly there, similar to how I was before I met Sango. And the only time you see sadness on her face is when she's alone like Inuyasha, and if she sees you looking her face will harden, and she will continue on her way. Hardening her heart against the world, she as well knows true pain.

"Sesshomaru-sama"

I sighed inwardly as I turned a small toad demon running up to me. 'Jaken'

Jaken's more or less an old friend; he's a bit…odd. He says my name with respect in Japanese as they do (The Japanese people), I can't decide if he is trying to impress me or not.

"What Jaken?" I ask, I can hear the annoyance in my voice as the little demon stops breathing hard as he tries to speak.

"Your father's sword +pant+ Tenseiga"

"What?" I ask raising a brow confused as I look at him; his breathing has slowed slightly as he looked up at me.

"We can save +pant+ Sango"

"WHAT?"

Authors note: The end or too be continued…guess it depends if I continue in this story or not? I'll probably just do it in here. So chapter 19 is a start of a new, yet continuation of this story…You know what I'm saying right…? Right…? You don't…Just read if you want to find out what happens! lol
