THANKS AGAIN FOR READING MY FANFIC!]

The best way to describe the feeling of death is to imagine that you are walking on a cliff. It is a slow and painful walk, filled with color-less scenes and cold chills in the air. You slowly approach the edge of the cliff and look over the edge one good time, trying to resist its sudden pull on you before you finally give in and just let yourself fall over the edge. I was in mid-fall when I felt a hand reach out to catch me. Someone actually pulled me away from death and saved my life.

When I opened my eyes...my vision was blurred at first. When I finally gained my sight back I saw silver hair shining in the light, and two shining pools of yellow looking on me. I blinked and then saw he had one hand on his sword held over me, like he just used it, and the other gripping my hand firmly yet gently. What? I was in the least confused about this whole thing. How was I still alive? What was he doing with his sword? Finally, why was he grasping my hand really tight. I suddenly remembered that I was pulled away, saved from death. Sesshomaru...saved me? I honestly didn't think he would waste his efforts to save me, sure he invested a lot of time in me before now because he had his intentions, but what was he to gain by saving my life? In fact, it would have been easier if he would have let me die then and there. I got feeling back in my body slowly, like a cold body warms with a hot fire. I sat up and looked into his eyes.

"What...What just happened? I thought I was a goner for sure." was the clever vocabulary I used in a situation as seriously confusing as this. Then again I never really knew how to deal with dying and then, well coming back to life again. He only stared back as he slowly sheathed his sword back, never letting go of my hand with his other. He was silent for a while, then when he spoke it was like having an angel speak.

"I couldn't let you die, not just yet." He said. Oh, so it was for personal gain then? I frowned a bit and my eyes dropped along with the rest of my face to look at the ground. Shockingly, he gently took his hand and cradled my chin to lift it up to where our eyes met. He was a bit closer this time and I could feel my cheeks blush with a deep red.

"H-huh?" I asked stuttering. He never spoke, yet he was still a master of the unspoken word. He very firmly, yet with tenderness, pressed his lips to mine. WOW! I felt my heart pump faster, I could hear my pulse beating more aggressively and my face turned a solid dark red. When he pulled away to look to me again, it was as if I understood everything. He had feelings for me, I am not sure for how long or if it would last but I could feel connection. As if the act of our lips touching opened the door to Sesshomaru's heart and mind and he finally allowed me in. It had felt like I suddenly knew and understood him. Of course not everything about him, I just felt a deep connection with him, and it was a burning passion swelling in my chest. He had pulled away slowly, which I might add was totally out of line and rude...well, to me at least.

"You are still very valuable to me in more ways than I dare admit, if you were to die now I would not be able to live with myself without regret." he stated. Okay, it was not the most romantic thing to say but I will take it. It was his personality to act all bad and tough, maybe speaking sweet things was not something that he was use to. He took his arms and gently lifted me onto my feet, but I was not quite ready to stand on my own. It worked to my advantage because I fell right into his chest, he smelt amazing. His chest was warm and inviting, which was different than his usual cold demeanor. He noticed I was still weak from my..near death experience and then picked me up bridal style. "Let us go now, the others are waiting for us..." he stated as he began to walk toward the woods from where we came. I remembered my final thoughts and then looked back to Sesshomaru.

"Hey...Sesshomaru," I paused, and he looked to me with his now more tender gaze.

"Yes?" he asked. My face turned red again as I began to fiddle with my hair again.

"There was something I was going to tell you, you know before I died." I continued, he still watching. He waited as I spoke, "Um...I think I am in love with you." I finally had the courage the say. It was like a weight was lifted from me and I could fly off into the sky. He only smiled, the first I have really seen which made me smile also. There were no other words spoken as we met up with the others and then headed to Sesshomaru's castle.

~~~~~~~~~Sometime in the future~~~~~~~~~

I went to the grand hall to write a letter to my parents. It was time yet again to write them, and I had better hurry. I was going to meet Kagome in the forest so that she could deliver it to them for me. I sat down and brought out a scroll and some ink and brush. I had been proud of just how adapt I had become to the current time period and was even more proud on how well I had become at writing letters, given the materials I had been provided with. I began my letter...

Dear Mom and Dad,

Has it already been another month? The time has just flown by ever since I came to this place 6 months ago, wow! I have been doing really well here, and I am sorry but I have still not been able to find a way home. To be honest I am still quite sure how I got here. I promise that once I find a way and have the chance I will come home for a visit.

However in the mean time life has been a bit busy and hectic. I am still living with Lord Sesshomaru in his castle just south from where your house is. Have you gotten use to the idea that I traveled to the past? Me neither. I have been able to live here as sort of a house keeper (in my opinion, not Sesshomaru's). I mainly try to keep this castle in tip-top shape, but it is so big it will take a while longer. The young girl that I work with, Rin, is helping me clean and mostly everything else involving house work. She has even showed me a thing or two with the cooking! Who would have thought I would be learning to cook from a girl younger than I am!

As for how I am doing, well for the most part there are still things I am getting use to, like my new found powers. Sesshomaru and Jaken have been trying to train me and help me learn and control them, but it still proves difficult for everyone. Oh well, I am sure dad would say I can pull though it. Fingers crossed!

Everyone has been really helpful and nice to me, well except for Jaken. He is such a booger sometimes! I know deep down he is warming up to me though. Rin is slowly growing and learning everyday from me, although it can be debated on if I am a good influence or not. As for Lord Sesshomaru, well he is perfect as always. Him and Jaken go on long trips, sometimes they are gone for weeks at a time and it worries me a bit. He comes back alive, but sometimes not always in perfect shape. He is planning on leaving again soon and I asked if he would take me down to the river and have a picnic one day before he left.

I am really happy here, but sometimes I miss being home and I miss you guys also. Sesshomaruis really kind and sweet once you get to know him, but he will mostly be cold and distant. I wish you guys can meet him one day, and I also hope you guys would like him. Don't be put off by his cold attitude though, he is really a great man. He is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with after all.

OH GEEZ! I have to get this letter to Kagome, I give my best wishes!

Love, Jazz

P.S.-If anyone asks about me, just tell them I moved far away to get married. It may not be true (yet, I hope!) but it is a better excuse than the crazy story I am sure dad is writing about for his next film. Love you guys!
