Hello everyone. I came up with another idea for a fic that was inspired by a great book by James Paterson called Sam's Letters to Jennifer. It is a great book, but my ideas will be put in with some scenes from the book. I hope you enjoy it! And just to let you know before you read this, this is an Inu/Kag fic.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha and I don't take any credit of anything to do with James Paterson's Sam's Letters to Jennifer.

Prologue

Live Life to the Fullest

Nothing special had ever happened to me in my life. You know the celebrates that get all the fame and glory? I was the total opposite. I had an ordinary job, an ordinary apartment, an ordinary cat. Everything in my life was just…ordinary. That was until he came into my life. And then all of a sudden, my life was anything but ordinary.

His name was Hojo Tanma, and he worked at a media company called Sengoku Jedai. I work as a journalist writing a column in a magazine called Crystal Clear, mostly talking about everyday women in the Chicago area, when I was summoned to do a column involving the rising media company, and Hojo was the one I was supposed to be talking to. I really can tell you that it was love at first site.

After I wrote my column, and had gotten great reviews, he had come by and asked me out to dinner. There was this shyness about him that I couldn't get over, and of course I said yes, and our love affair went on from there. Everything in my ordinary life had turned upside down within a short period of three glorious months.

Then on a beautiful April day in Chicago, Hojo asked me to marry him on our 3rd month anniversary. How could I say no.

My family adored him, and I was the happiest woman on the planet. A week before our wedding day, we made our choice to go to Hawaii on our honeymoon; the thought of beautiful beaches and clear waters making me giddy with excitement. We made reservations, and we were set to go on our honeymoon of a lifetime.

The wedding was all that I had imagined. Simple, but beautiful in its own way. When Hojo and me were leaving for the airport, my friends and family threw rice and flower petals at us as we climbed into the limo. When we were safely inside, Hojo pulled me close and kissed me softly, telling me he loved me over and over again.

After a three-hour flight, we made it to Hawaii, and it was even more beautiful then I had hoped itwould be. We went to the hotel we were to stay at and got our keys and practically ran for the room. I was excited and terrified at the same time. Questions raced through my mind. What would he think of me, and would I be good enough? But before I could think any further, Hojo suggested that we go out a take a quick swim in the ocean. I could tell Hojo wanted to go, but I really didn't fell like it, since I was so nervous about the events that would take place in just a few short hours. I felt really silly about felling that way, even if I was a 22 year old. But it would be my first time.

So Hojo changed into his swimming trunks and gave me a kiss as he walked out the door.

An hour went by, then two, and Hojo still hadn't come back. I was panicking after the third hour, so I fled out of the hotel room, and out onto the warm beach of Honolulu. I yelled for him many times, but the only response I received was the crashing of the waves on the shore.

Tears streaked down my face as terrible thoughts of something happening to him came to mind. But the thoughts just seemed too horrible to believe. Hojo was a great swimmer. He couldn't have…drowned. I then started to run back towards the hotel room, hoping and praying to God that I was overreacting, and that he would be back in the hotel room safe and sound.

I ran up the stairs and swung open the door, only to find my hopes dashed as I saw that Hojo wasn't there and it was just as I had left it. I was starting to hyperventilate as I reached over to the phone, trying desperately to tell the receptionist that I wanted to speak to the manager through thelump that was in my throat. I waited, trying to calm myself down as the manager's voice came into the phone.

I told him that my husband went out for a swim and he hasn't come back for hours. The manager told me that they were going to do all they could to find him, and said he would get back to me when they found anything. When I heard the soft click of the phone going dead, I put it back in it's cradle, and started crying. I prayed that they would find him, but then again hoping they didn't find him and tell me that something had happened. I cried and cried until I cried myself to sleep on the hotel bed.

A couple of hours latter, a knock on the door had brought me back to consciousness. I groggily walked to the door, and opened it to find 2 lifeguards and apolicemen behind the door. My body went rigid as my mind registered what had happened earlier today. I readied my self for what they had to say, and let them in. I closed the door and walked over to a nearby chair, my face showing my inner turmoil. "Mrs.…Kagome Tanma is it?" I lifted my head and nodded. The police officer steeped forward and kneeled down so that he was eye level. "We found your husband."

He looked into my watery eyes with an apologetic look, which could only mean one thing. "We found him about 30 miles away from shore. He has a pretty bad gash on the back of his head." He hesitated before he went on to tell me the rest. "He has lost a lot of blood." He put his hand on my shoulder and gave it a light squeeze, while Iwaited for him to say the words that I had be dreading for the last 5 hours.

"We've tried everything we could for him. He…didn't make it. I'm very sorry." I had stopped hearing what he was saying when he said 'We found him.' He said it in that way that you hear in movies in hospital scenes when you know that the hero is going to die. I knew that Hojo was dead the moment I saw them at the door. I just sat there in my chair, silent tears rolling down my face.

The love of my life had left me, leaving me alone and cold in the world. I had become a newlywed, and widower in the same day. It had become the best and worst day of my life.

Please tell me what you think. I really want to get some advise on this one. Now...push the little purple button. Yeah you know the one I'm talking about, your staring right at it!
