I'll Find You
"We're going to die aren't we?" "Your father is really going to kill us." As Kagome said this she looked up into his eyes. His sun kissed eyes expressed nothing but sadness and regret.
"I'm…I'm sorry Kagome, I couldn't protect you." "I'm sorry I let this happen." "I never meant for any of this to happen.
Kagome's blue eyes widened at his ramblings. He was afraid. Her love, her Sesshomaru was afraid. She knew that they both didn't have long to live, but maybe if she could be strong, maybe some of her strength will transfer over to Sesshomaru.
"Sesshou, we'll be fine. Even death won't take me away from you. I love you."
"But if we never would have met, none of this would be happening. I….don't want you to die Kagome, I don't . I love you more than anything. If I die, its fine, but you're my angel I can't let anything happen to you." At his last statement, a choked sob came from his mouth and proceeded to get louder until Sesshomaru was crying and holding Kagome tightly in his arms. He tucked his head in the crook of her neck and inhaled her scent. Even in this wet murky place she still smelled of peaches and vanilla. He felt her hand stroke the side of his face as he sobbed quietly. He had tried to be strong, but that thought of her dying was just too much.
Kagome stroked Seshomaru's cheek in hopes of calming him. When that didn't work she began to rock him back and forth as she held him tightly. What had they done that was so wrong to deserve a fate such as this? The only thing they did was fall in love with one another. Who would have ever thought that the consequence of their love would lead them to an abandoned meat market, where they were to wait and be killed.
"Kagome."
"Yes Love?"
"Sing to me…… please?"
"What do you want me to sing?"
"Something…..anything. I just want to hear your beautiful voice one last time before….."
Kagome hushed him before he finished his sentence. Then began to sing.

"In a perfect world,
One we've never known
We would never need
To face the world alone
They can have the world
We'll create our own
I may not be brave or strong or smart
But somewhere in my secret heart
I know
Love will find a way
Anywhere I go
I'm home
If you are there beside me
A dark
Turning into day
Somehow we'll get through
Now that I found you
Love will find a way"
"Do you really believe that?" Sesshomaru said as he lifted up his head and stared into Kagome's eyes.
"Yes I do."
"Will I see you on the other side?"
"You will I promise, I'll look for you."
Suddenly Sesshomaru stiffened, and started to sniff the air furiously.
"What is it? What's the matter?" Kagome asked frantically.
"They're coming." was his simple reply
Sesshomaru leaned down and kissed Kagome with all the love and passion that he had for her. Hoping that the kiss alone would give them both the resolve they needed for what lay ahead.
"How sweet." A sinister voice stated from the doorway
Sesshomaru eyed his father and growled, his eyes becoming blood red as his father approached Kagome. Sesshomaru held onto her tighter, unwilling to let her go.
Have you made your decision Sesshomaru?
"Yes"
"What have you decided?"
"I'm going to stay with Kagome."
"You fool! You could have had any woman you wanted but you chose this lowly human. You have disgraced the family name; you bring shame upon yourself and your family. Now you both shall die."
A small gasp escaped Kagome's mouth at Tashio's last statement.
Sesshomaru began to rub her lower back in hopes of comforting his trembling Kagome. But even he knew that wouldn't stop what was to come.
"Bring them in." Tashio ordered
Suddenly 4 men with machine guns walked in to where Kagome and Sesshomaru where.
Tashio gave one last look at his son and shook his head as he eyed the way Sesshomaru was holding Kagome.
"Kill them."
The four men raised their guns and began to fire.
Before the bullets fired however, Sesshomaru had whispered something in Kagomes ear.
"Think about the good times we had before. Do not dwell on this."
Kagome laid her head on his chest and thought back to the day when she and Sesshomaru first met.
