Chapter 8- Some Scars Never Fade

The last few scenes that were going to be filmed are going to be located in the Philippines.

On the plane –

"AHHH this private plane is so big" Kyoko and Kagome said to each other as they stared out the window. Ren and Sesshomaru were the vision of calm as they sat on the opposite side of the aisle as their girlfriends.

"It's going to take at least 4 hours to get there and we have shooting right after we arrive, so save your energy." Sesshomaru said as he tipped his chair back.

"Yes Sesshy" Kagome said as she climbed into his lap and joined him for a nap. Ren and Kyoko awkwardly sat in silence for a couple minutes until Ren opened his arms as an invitation.

No matter how they felt for each other Kyoko was still new to the whole relationship stuff and was hesitant. Ren sighed and shifted to his Cain role in order to make it more comfortable for Kyoko. She felt his change of character and switched to Setsu as she laid with him.

"One day brother, she'll be strong enough to be with you without having to act." Setsu whispered as she drifted off.

Shooting that day –

Kyoko and Ren were sitting in comfy chairs off set as they watched Kagome and Sesshomaru act on the beach.

Kagome was wearing a deep blue bikini top and a black skirt to cover her bottom. On her stomach a large scar curved its way to her back shoulder blade. She notices the way people stare and tries to cover it.

"Stop it V" Sesshomaru said as her held her arm down. "It doesn't matter what other people think of your scar. I love this scar" he tilts Kagome's head up.

"How could you love this scar, it's hideous." Kagome said.

"This scar if proof of you saving my life. Its proof that you survived and I will always thank this scar for letting me be able to love you every day." Sesshomaru said as they both started to cry.

"Cut" director Karry shouted through her tears. "That was amazing, good work guys."

Kagome and Sesshomaru walked over to where Kyoko and Ren were sitting while smiling kindly to the praise the other workers were giving them. When they sat down Kagome's eyes started to tear up again.

"Excuse me" she whispered before running off. Sesshomaru got up soon after to follow her as he smelt her tears. Kyoko turned to Ren and asked him, "Why do you think Kagome-chan is so sad" but before he could answer one of the makeup artists spoke for him.

"Didn't you hear, when Kagome and Sesshomaru sempai were younger Kagome saved his life and now has an ugly scar?" The young gossiper said as she shivered, lost in her memories of seeing Kagome's real scar when applying the special affects makeup for her fake one.

With Sesshomaru and Kagome –

Kagome was sitting in her trailer trying to keep her tears from ruining the makeup she spent 3 hours sitting still for them to apply. She raised her head and said "Come in" as she sensed Sesshomaru's aura in front of her door.

He walked in and sat next to her, still silent. "I do not regret that day Koi" he said and like a switch Kagome was thrown back into the memory of that day.

Flashback

Kagome and Sesshomaru had steadily gotten closer after she had made it back home from her travels. She was still getting used to having a romantic relationship with Sesshomaru, but it was everything she dreamed it would be. He treated her like a princess when buying her expensive things and taking her out to fancy restaurants.

"You didn't need to buy me this necklace" Kagome said as they were walking back to the shrine late at night.

"I know I didn't, but I thought it was perfect for you" Sesshomaru said, and it was true, the simple gold chain with blue heart at the end fit Kagome perfectly.

They continued walking towards the shrine when Kagome was unexpectedly pulled into an alleyway.

"Give me all your cash and the girl won't get hurt!" the man shouted with a knife pointed at Kagome's neck. His accomplice was a holding a knife up against Sesshomaru's back.

Sesshomaru growled, "Let. Her. Go. NOW" He took a threatening step forward.

The man with the knife near Kagome's neck panicked and pushed her towards Sesshomaru when he saw his eyes flash red.

"MONSTER! Kill it Kuno!" The panicking man shouted. His accomplice closed his eyes and stabbed as hard as he could. When he felt the knife hit flesh he yanked the knife to the left and hoped he had dealt a killing blow to the monster.

As he opened his eyes he saw the young woman on the ground with an ever growing pool of blood under her. Kuno dropped his knife in shock and furiously tried to get the blood to come off as he ran out of the alley. Several blocks later he pulled out his phone and called an ambulance for the girl. He stared at his stained hands and felt the weight of his guilt for stabbing an innocent girl. "I will find some way to pay for my mistakes."

Back in the alley Kagome was smiling up at Sesshomaru as he was panicking over her. "It'll be alright Kagome. You'll get better. It's going to be fine" he said as his shaking hands hovered over her body.

Kagome started to laugh but it caused the blood from the wound on her stomach to flow faster. "You know. I...It's funny that you're acting s..so much like a human right now. Panicking and telling lies to make us both feel better." Kagome's voice was quiet and straining with the effort to ignore the pain she was in.

"Why did you move into the path of the knife Kagome? You know that it would take more than just two ordinary humans to seriously hurt me." Sesshomaru asked. You could see in his eyes he was trying, but failing to hold back his despair at seeing Kagome so fragile.

She laughed again, "I don't know what came over me. It was like it di..didn't matter if you would heal from the wou..wounds or not, just the thought of you getting hurt at all made me want t..to protect you."

"You stupid human. You stupid, stupid human" Sesshomaru said as he grabbed Kagome's body and gently laid her against his chest and ran his hands through her bloody hair."

"Yeah, but I'm yo..your st..stupid human a..and you love m…me." Kagome said as her eyes fell shut and her chest stopped rising.

"Of course I love you Kagome. You're the stupid human who stood up to me with no fear. You're the Shikon miko. You're my miko!" Sesshomaru trailed off as he started to rock with Kagome's body cradled in his arms. He cried and cried broken sobs for the one person he loved and didn't want to lose.

As the paramedics walked into the alley they witnessed the most heartbreaking scene of lost love. Sesshomaru stared at Kagome whispering "I love you. You can't leave me, I just got you back" as he stroked her dirty cheek lovingly. Both of them were covered in Kagome's dried blood and the grime from the ground, but what was truly sad was the small smile on Kagome's face. Even though her life had ended she was happy that she died protecting someone she loved.
