Fluffy: Hey. Sorry to say but my data keeps getting screwed up so the lyrics aren't specified. If you wonder about where the lyrics are, look for words that rhyme in the same paragraph in any way. Just needed to tell you. Sorry for the mix-up. ;
Anyway, here's how it is supposed to be written.
"Blah"-speaking
'Blah'- talking in loss of consciousness
Blah- lyrics
Sesshomaru was so tired of this. The war had been lasting for more than two months. This war was senseless. This all happened because of one stupid little half breed. Naraku will die for taking him away from his family. (N.N. Stupid Naraku!) (A.N. Please be quiet, Nara.) Tell the truth, he missed his family. He missed his son, Shippo, his daughter, Rin, and of course, his beloved darling Kagome. He just wanted to go home. Kagome's birthday was coming up. He already missed Shippo's and Rin's birthdays. If he missed Kagome's, he would never forgive himself and nor would she. Since that wouldn't be possible until he won the war, he decided to call them up.
He called them up but as soon as someone picked up, he had to wipe a tear from his eye.
"Taiyoukai residence."
"Hi. I was wondering if the most beautiful 8 year old in the world was home."
"Daddy!"
"Hi, sweetie. I miss you. I'm sorry I haven't called. I've been trying to call you and Shippo to say 'Happy birthday!'"
"I miss you too, Daddy. Are you coming home soon?"
He called her on the road from a lonely cold hotel room just to hear her say 'I love you' one more time and when he heard the sound of the kids laughing in the background, he had to wipe away a tear from his eye. A little voice came on the phone, said 'Daddy, when you coming home?' He said the first thing that came to his mind.
"Sweetie, I'm already there."
"Really! Where!"
"Ha ha. Look around. I'm the sunshine that warms your hair; I'm the shadows that keep you cool on the warm days; I'm the wind whispering to you; I'm your imaginary friend; I just wonder: am I in your prayers?"
"Yup. Oh. Mommy wants to talk to you."
I'm already there. Take a look around. I'm the sunshine in your hair. I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind. I'm your imaginary friend and I know I'm in your prayers. I'm already there.
Sesshomaru was busy thinking of how his family was doing without him. Suddenly, he was taken out of his thoughts by the voice he hadn't heard since he left for the war.
"Hello?"
"Hello. I was wondering if the lady of the house would like a long distance kiss from me." (N.N. Lousy pick-up line) (A.N. Quiet please.)
"Sesshomaru, you dog."
"Dog demon to be precise."
"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to hear a sound more beautiful than angels tell me that she loves me. Is that so wrong?"
"No, it isn't that wrong. Just so you know, I really miss you."
"I miss you too. I really want this war to be over so that I know you're not just some playful angel trying to mess with my heart."
"You know I'm not. I told you I wasn't the day we met."
"Just checking. You never know and, by the way, you don't have to miss me for too long. I'm already there. Don't make a sound. Can you hear your heartbeat? That is where I am. I am the moon singling you out in the world with my light. I'm the wind whispering words of love to you. I'll be there for you until the earth breathes its last breath. I will still feel my love for you when all the love in the world is gone. Can you feel it too? Just remember, when you wonder where I am, I'm already there with you."
She got back on the phone and said, "I really miss you, darlin'. Don't worry about the kids. They'll be alright. Wish I was in your arms lyin' right there beside you but I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight and I'll gently kiss your lips, touch you with my fingertips so turn off the lights and close your eyes. I'm already there. Don't make a sound. I'm the beat on your heart. I'm the moonlight shinin' down. I'm the whisper in the wind and I'll be there 'till the end. Can you feel the live that we share? I'm already there.
As they were talking, Sesshomaru heard something from outside the tent. "Hey, Kagome? I'm sorry but I got to go."
"Don't worry. See ya soon."
"Love ya forever."
He hung up the phone and rushed outside. There was the reason why he was there in the first place. There was Naraku, slashin up all his guards and taking a nice blood bath. (N.N. Evil Naraku) (A.N. Quiet, Nara.)
Now, Sesshomaru was ticked. Not only did he take him away from his family, he had the gall to invade his territory. In all his fury, Sesshomaru drew his sword and came at Naraku.
The battle was a real sight to see. Their swords clashed. They met each other strike for stike. Slash for slash. Lethal blow for lethal blow. By the end of the battle, They both ended up with a lot of wounds that could leave scars but only one of them had enough scars to have him bleed to death. With the words, " Damn... you... Sesshomaru,"
Naraku finally breathed his last. The war was over. Unfortunately, Sesshomaru was suffering from a few wounds himself. "Kagome...It's...Over." Those were the last words he said before he succumbed to the darkness. (N.N. No! Fluffy!)(A.N. Quiet.)
We may be a thousand miles apart, but I'll be with you wherever you are.
Meanwhile, back at home, Kagome was washing the dinnerware when her best teacup fell on the floor and broke. "Uh-oh. A bad omen." Now Kagome was truly worried.
Sesshomaru was in a lot of trouble. When he fainted, he was taken to the infirmary, but the doctors lost hope of their lord ever reopening his eyes. What they didn't know was that the only reason why he was dying was because Sesshomaru was about to give up. 'I don't want to fight anymore. I want to die.'
'Then will you leave me behind?' came a voice coming from a small light in front of Sesshomaru's face.
'I don't even know who you are.How could I leave you if I don't know you?' As soon as he asked the question, the light began to take a familiar and dear form. 'Kagome!'
'Do you want to leave me behind?'
'No, of course not. It's just that, I'm so tired of fighting, I don't want to anymore. I've fought for my life, my dignity, my wife, and my home. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm just tired. I want to rest.'
'It is your choice to live or die, but if you choose life, know that I'll be home physically, but I'm here with you always. If you wish to live, wake up and take a look outside. I'm the sunshine that makes your hair shimmer. I'm the shadow protecting you from the cruelty of the sun. I'm the wind whispering our vows to you. I'll remain here with you until the end of time and further then. Our love is more powerful than the strongest weapon. Can you feel it? I'll always be there with you. Do you choose life or death, my love? No matter what you choose, I'll always love you,' she said as she held out her hand.
Sesshomaru had to choose between living with his one true love and the cold darkness of knowing he left her behind. No contest.
I'm already there. Take a look around. I'm the sunshine in your hair. I'm the shadow on the ground. I'm the whisper in the wind and I'll be there until the end. Can you feel the love that we share. Oh I'm already there.
Back at home, Kagome was just waking up to her children bickering.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh-uh!"
"Hey, what is up with you two, arguing this early in the morning?"
"Their kids, Kagome. What did you expect? Having them sleep their lives away? Go easy on them. Besides it's noon. You always did like "
Kagome thought she was dreaming until she turned around and there was the one person she had been dreaming about since he left.
"Daddy!" Rin and Shippo yelled as they ran toward him.
"Hey, guys. What's up? Besides the whole neighborhood, of course."
"Mommy missed you."
"Oh really?"
"Yes, I did, and if anyone plans on tearing us apart again, they're going to deal with me."
"I pity the poor fool who ever does try to tear us apart because not only will they deal with you, they'll be dealing with me."
With that said, Kagome ran up to him and kissedas if they kissed for the first time. Kagome and Sesshomaru were in their own little world of love and passion until they found they were not alone.
"Ewww. Gross!"groaned Shippo.
"Can't wait until they grow up." said Sesshomaru when they parted.
"I'll bet you'll be ecstatic in A.D."
"You don't know how much."
"You're going to have to wait a lot longer."
That caused Sesshomaru to look at Kagome like she had three heads. "What are you talking about, Kagome?"
Kagome got out of Sesshomaru's arms and brought him up their room. Sesshomaru was really confused until Kagome showed him a little book they hadn't read since Kagome was pregnant with Shippo.
"Kagome, you mean to tell me that you're-"
"Mm-hm. Like I said, A.D. Will have to wait. I'm a little over two months along, now."
Sesshomaru was both joyous and petrified, the same way any father to be would act. "Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"Before the battle ended, you know I almost died."
"What?"
"Yeah. The only reason I was about to die was that I was about to give up on living. It's odd. Just when I was about to give up, I saw a little light calling to me. It took me a moment to realize that it was you. You told me that no matter what I chose, you would be with me. You held your hand out to me and,well, I made the choice to live and be with you over an afterlife of no more fighting for what I need because to me, all I need is you and my family. Just know that if you ever wonder where I am, just listen to the song I sent out to you while I was away.
Oh, I'm already there.
Fluffy: I just wanted you to know that whenever Kagome or Sesshomaru say "A.D.," they mean "after diplomas." I thank my mom for unintentionally giving me that idea. Listen to your family. They could unintentionally give you story ideas.
