Kenshin's pov.
I ran to the fullest of my human capability. I spotted her, my wife.
"Kagome!"
A demon held her between his teeth. She seemed to be a bloody corpse by now.
The demon was a giant wolf, the biggest I've seen. My body went cold at the sight of my wife, my love. Kagome, and my innocent unborn child. I'd destroy this beast. It's heart would be slain, just like it has done to me.
It roared and dropped Kagome's body on the ground beneath.
I steadied my sword. This is my kill.
….
Kagome's pov
I awoke in a start, looking around, I realized I was in a nice hut. Where was Kenshin? What happened to the demon? Is my baby alright?
I tried to scream, but thanks to not having water for a period of time I couldn't.
That's when Jou walked in, he looked relieved to see me. Without word, he rushed and put liquids to my lips.
"Jou…the baby?" I collected.
He smiled, it helped relax me. "Kagoma-sama, the baby is healthy and in you're stomach. It's all right now, I'm glad to see you awake, you've been out for two weeks. The child is coming in to in a half months, be happy."
I smiled, and relief flooded over me. WAIT, what about Ken-san?
"And my husband?" I questioned.
Jou looked down.
"Please don't tell me something bad happened." I began to cry.
Nothing could happen to him, he was Kenshin. A swordsman, a great fighter, my lover, he should be alright?
"Kagome-sama, I say this with all respect, and I apologize, but he isn't with us anymore. My master's life has been taken by the wolf demon. He died protecting you and his child. He died, in dignity and respect. He thought you were dead, so I guess he didn't try against the demon, and he failed. When I found your body, you looked close to death. So I saved you and brought you back here. His corpse…. It was scattered, we couldn't find all the pieces… I'm so sorry."
I stopped listening after that point. What the hell? He was gone! Just like that, once again, my world was tumbling down…
I'd die alone, with my son.
This was too depressing to deal with right now, but the tears fell down.
"When is the service?" I croaked.
Jou sighed, "In three weeks."
I nodded, that would be a long time. But it gave me a while to face the reality of his death.
I couldn't really say it sunk in, or that I was sad. I felt numb more than anything else. And right when I thought the dark numbness would take me over again, I felt one little foot kick inside me. My son, I have to move on for him. He would be the reason for me to be alive. I had to be strong; I needed my son right now, more than he needed me.
I couldn't help but smile, my son was my light, he would be my rock.
"I think everything will be okay, Jou. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I do know I have some things I have to finish."
