Kagome stood ready to fight, Naraku threw off his jacket and walked slowly up to Kagome. He attempted to punch her first, but Kagome managed to duck. She quickly kicked him and he fell to the ground. She got up as he did too.

He started grow very angry, she eyed him. He kicked in her ribs and she stumbled, she coughed up some more blood.

He laughed."Are you ready to give up yet?"

Kagome got up ."You wish."

They began an instant battle, each was hitting the other and ducking the other's blows.

They were both on the ground. Each eyed the knife that was before. Instantly Naraku grabbed.

Naraku smirked, he knew this would be a battle he conquered once again. Kagome started to cough more blood, but she got up. Kagome fought Naraku for the knife, until someone was stabbed in the heart.

It was so painful, you could imagine. The blood slowly flooded the shirt, the pieced heart held on to the life. With one pull, that someone would fall to their death. Kagome cried as Naraku smirked. He admired his work.

Sesshomoru was searching for Kagome, he could not find her. His heart began to beat faster. He saw the paramedics and a body being carried away.

He pulled his car up to the site only to be stopped by the police.

He jumped out the car and ran under the Do not cross tape. He wanted to know if she was okay, if it was her in that body bag.

He opened the body bag and a tear rolled down his soft cheek.

Kagome twisted the knife that pierced Naraku's heart. Soft warm tears rolled down her face. He smiled.

"Why are you happy?" She asked.

"Look at what I've done. There is a knife piercing the both of our hearts. For me it was when my father left, for you it was when I abused you. Each of us are so alike, each wanting love."

"Then why didn't you give me any."

"I wanted to , I really did, but I never had any to give. All I wanted was someone to pay. To pay for all my pain. You were my punching bag."

"I wasn't the cause for all your pain. Why me? Why did I have to be your punching bag?"

He put his hand to her cheek."Because you made me feel love in my pierced heart. It hurt so much to see you. When you laughed I felt joy,but then I remember there is no love in this world at least not for me."

She silently cried."There is love. There is….." He turned his head and dropped his head preparing for his painful death.

"Naraku?" She whispered.

He looked up.

"I love you." She kissed him on his lips. She tried to hug him, not pushing in the knife more.

"That's all I wanted. That's all I wanted ." He said as he began to fall, he pulled out the knife and he fell to the ground.

"No." Kagome cried. "He was just like me , all he wanted was love."

Naraku's eyes lay open, he had a smirk on his face, like actual pure joy.

Kagome slowly closed his eyes as she whispered."I forgive you."

She stood up and walked onto the road, a car came and stopped.

The passenger's called 911 as Kagome passed out.

Sesshomoru smiled a little bit. Naraku was gone and would never bother Kagome again. He cried still out of pain and joy.

To see a man dead was a horrid sight. For his love though, it was finally over. He sighed out of relief as he jumped over to the ambulance, he saw Kagome.

She looked so hurt, he jumped into the ambulance he held her hand tightly. She Slowly opened her eyes.

"Sesshomoru." She whispered."I love you."

He smiled."I love you too."

She closed her slightly open eyes, falling into a coma.

She was taken to the hospital.

Doctors found there was nothing they could do. They said she would stay in a comatose forever. They offered to pull the plugs and let her rest in peace.

Sesshomoru wouldn't let them, he knew, somehow, that Kagome longed to live, even if it was just a little more. Sesshomoru visited her everyday, even if it was just for a second. He loved her more each day.

He talked to her with his heart. He always remembered to never forget, so he kept a journal, just in case Kagome may have forgotten. Sesshomoru hoped this wouldn't happen.

One day on one of his visits Kagome opened her eyes. She looked up and said at last.

"Sesshomoru, yes, I want to marry you."

He looked surprised . He jumped up and laughed. "You are awake at last you are awake!" He hugged her.

She smiled,"How long have I been asleep?"

"A month."

"Woah a month, I feel so tired. Did you miss me?"

Sesshomoru gazed at her he came close to her as she sat up in her hospital bed. "I never gave up, I never stopped missing, I never stopped loving you." He softly whispered.

She turned her head and smiled as he put his hand on her cheek and softly kissed her. Her dry, but soft lips touched his and each longed for one another.

It had been a month already. Kagome smiled as she pulled out of the kiss. He placed the ring back on her finger, her smile grew wider as she noticed their names inscribed into the ring she loved it.

They began to conversate, forgetting to tell the doctors about this miracle.

Kagome stopped. 'Sesshomoru, can I lay my head on your heart to listen?"

He nodded."Why do you care to listen?"

"When Naraku was dying I asked him why he did what he did. He said it was because I made his pierced heart feel joy. I wonder why people in this world are so afraid to feel love, to care so much. Is it because maybe we are all afraid of getting hurt? Maybe so. I was in a coma for a month but you weren't afraid, your heart still kept beating . Ba-bump. For me." She looked up at him. "I was afraid to love you, I thought maybe again I would get hurt. Yeah maybe I could have, but fear can not run me. That is why I….. I love you!" She hugged him with tears in her eyes.

He hugged her back."That's all I wanted to know." He kissed her head and rocked her back in forth. Togethor each heart beat in a rhythm.

Ba-Bump. They knew that love had its faults, but this wasn't. Each of their hearts mended to gethor.
