Summary Sesshoumaru's seven billion year vigil is rewarded
A/N This idea sprang from a question about whether Sesshoumaru and Kagome would ever be together at the end of Left Behind
Sesshoumaru gazed at the sky. The red sun that never set blanketed the heavens. Amaterasu had indeed come for her children. The oceans were gone. The air was gone. All life was gone. The humans fled long ago, All that remained was the earth. The earth where Kagome had been buried billions of years ago and one lone grave watcher.
When the sun finally engulfed the earth, would he survive? Not even he was sure. A billion years were meaningless to him. He did not need to breathe or eat. The immense power of the sun had no effect on him. His body was like no other. Even his mother had fled when her castle was crushed.
There was no one left except Kagome. He had maintained a silent vigil by her grave warding off the attempts by heaven and hell to take her spirit away. She would not be reincarnated. Neither Nirvana nor Naraka were proper places for her. Only here by his side where she had been for seven billion years.
If she was reincarnated, she would be someone else not the woman that he loved. Only if her spirit remained where it was, would she remain the woman he loved. And so he maintained his vigil against the forces which would allow her to pass on. While he did not fear for his own life, he feared what would happen to Kagome when the sun engulfed her grave.
A soul even one as great as Kagome was still tied to her grave. He had been coming here for the comfort she still gave him after seven billion years. The question that gnawed at him was why he could not be with her. Rin had manifested when she gave the kiss of death to Inuyasha, but he was already as good as dead.
It still irked him that Inuyasha and Rin were allowed to be together in death while he and Kagome had parted for more than seven billion years. He shook his fist at the sun fearing the wrath of no Kami. Amatersu would not have Kagome. He would defend her to the death and beyond if necessary.
Slowly, the fog rose from the grave. The fog became Kagome. She stared incredulously at Sesshoumaru shaking his fist at the sky " You really are a moron"
Sesshoumaru turned toward her " Is that all you have to say to me after I watched over your grave for seven billion years?"
Kagome fumed " No, I would say that you wasted seven billion years. You could have conquered the universe, solved all the mysteries of life and death, even become a Kami instead of maintaining your vigil. Instead you waited around for Amaterasu to consume the earth."
"I would have lost you"
Those words made Kagome waver. Her form started to shimmer as she fought for control. She could not lose him now after waiting so long. He reached out to her. She could actually feel his touch. Her memories had faded over the years, but she would never forget his touch. His kiss. The sense of completion when they orgasmed .
"Kagome" he cried. His lips were on hers. He knew that she was a spirit, but his lips told him otherwise. As their bodies intertwined, they seemed to become one. Youkai and spirt fused into one. Intermingling until they were inseparable. It was impossible to tell where one from the other. Fused together for eternity.
When Amaterasu found them, they had fused into a crystalline heart. She could feel the love pulsing through crystal. They were the best of the creatures she had created. Kagome represented the greatest human soul. Sesshoumaru represented perfection. Their love brought together the best of both species.
She pondered what to do with the heart. Fashioning a chain around her neck, she placed the crystal over her own heart. There it would stay as long as she existed. Their love would remind her of the beauty of her creation and would be a pattern to guide her should she ever decide to create another species
