Four days later

Anne was sitting in her living room, her eyes clouded with tears as Inutaisho paced the room, talking on his cell phone. Inuyasha was leaning against the wall, his face showing no emotions at all.

"I understand, we will wait." Inutaisho finally resumed the call and looked at Anne. She was trembling.

"So?" she finally asked, her tears falling down her cheeks. Inutaisho shook his head negatively.

"They didn't find her…after you received her suicidal message, the police is doing its best to find her. Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault."

"No it's not." Anne interrupted coldly. "This is your son's mistake. He lured my little daughter and then stabbed her in her delicate heart."

She then looked at Inuyasha who seemed uninterested.

"You dare think that you can manipulate people for the simple fact that you're rich? You're strongly wrong with that. I swear to you that if my daughter…"

She suddenly stopped when the house's phone rang. They stared at it in shock before Anne rushed and picked it up. A few seconds passed then Anne hung up. She looked at the 2 males with distant eyes.

"Anne?" Inutaisho asked but she didn't even look at him. Her eyes were directed over Inuyasha who simply stared at her.

"Are you happy now?" she finally managed to ask. Inuyasha didn't respond.

"Anne, what's going on?" Inutaisho asked again, approaching her now trembling form. His actions attracted his attention. She simply looked at him, her eyes cold as snow.

"They found my daughter's belongings in a nearby river. Her cell phone, her ID and pieces of a blue dress." She replied calmly. Inutaisho's eyes widened but she continued.

"They said that the body was nowhere to be found but they concluded that the currents took her body away. They said that she had no chance to survive. And the message of suicide ends it all. She's dead."

"Anne." Inutaisho whispered. He wanted to approach her but his legs couldn't carry him anymore so he leaned against the chair.

"She's dead." She repeated and her eyes glowed dangerously, "AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" she yelled, throwing herself on Inuyasha, slapping him across the face.

He didn't move. He didn't try to resist. He simply let her hit him again and again. He could not feel pain, he could not feel sadness. He felt void. He felt that darkness crept inside his heart. He looked at her face as she slapped him. She looked hurt but he was not able to be hurt, he just lost his heart, his emotions.

Inutaisho interfered, backing her sobbing frame away from Inuyasha. She collapsed on the floor. Inutaisho tried to hold her but she flinched away.

"Go!" she murmured between her tears. Seeing their hesitation she cried in desperation.

"Go! Leave! Both of you! I had her and only her! Why! Leave me alone! Just leave me alone!"

They left her, broken and shattered on the floor. She cried and cried but no tears were enough to wash the pain away. When she finally calmed down, she felt sadness and grief envelop her. She had one and only one way to feel better. She had to avenge her daughter.

"I shall bring the Taisho's family down. I shall ruin them for what they have done to my Kagome. I will show them how to beg for my mercy and I will give them none." She vowed and felt a little bit better. Somehow, the idea of her revenge revived Kagome in her head.

"For you, my child."

The shocking news of Kagome's suicide filled all the newspapers but the reason remained unclear. For the next 3 days, journalists attempted to interview her mother but did not succeed. The house was by now empty. Some said that Anne went to another country, not able to live anymore with her memories in the house. Others said that she just moved out. What they didn't know was that she had other plans, plans that included Inuyasha as her first target.

As for Inuyasha, since he learned of Kagome's death he didn't show any kind of sadness but neither of happiness. He became self reserved. He refused to talk with anyone; he even refused to talk about her. For everyone, he seemed like he just forgot about her.

It was by now 5 days since the terrible news and he was going to check on Kelly. She was the only person who he continued to talk too. He didn't want her to be hurt like he did to Kagome. He entered her room and found her in her bed, crying. He sighed deeply and sat next to her.

"Don't cry." He said harshly. "There's no reason to."

"She's dead!" Kelly exclaimed, not able to contain her guilt. Inuyasha winced at her words. He didn't want to remember Kagome. He just wanted to remain empty, invulnerable.

"And it's my fault!" she continued, sobbing harder. Inuyasha looked at the blue curtains in the room. Blue, like the color of her eyes. He felt a knife in his heart, cutting it deeply again. He pushed her memory aside. He would forget, he had to forget. He had to empty himself or the sadness will eat him alive.

"Just go to sleep." He simply said, getting up and walking towards the door. Kelly could not take it anymore. Since she learned Kagome's death, she had nightmares, chills all over her body. She felt guilt; she felt disgust from her own self. She couldn't even look at her reflection anymore.

"I can't sleep." She said in a murmur. Inuyasha looked at her, his eyes distant and dark.

"Try to, for our child."

The words cut him again. Their baby, the reason of Kagome's death. He was going to be a father but he didn't feel anything, emptiness. He missed her but he would not say it. He loved her and he would never make the mistake again. He craved for her and he could not have her. He had a long long life waiting for him, a life of desperation.

Kelly began to tremble. The guilt was overwhelming; she felt the need to say it, to say it loud. She was going insane. She thought she could, she thought she should but she couldn't do it anymore. The sinful truth escaped her lips and crushed the remaining humanity in Inuyasha.

"I lied. This baby is not yours."

Inuyasha froze. Could he even be emptier? Was death as sweet as he imagined it to be? Maybe in death he would be with her. But no, he would not be weak. He would survive her, and if he survived her, he would survive everything. He felt his heart beat increase then slow as he looked at the devil he mistook for an angel.

"You lied to me." He simply said but his voice spoke more than his words. His voice cut her deeply, making her bleed from invisible scars. She nodded.

"You destroyed me." He continued but to her surprise he remained cold, distant.

"I am sorry." She whispered. "I had to."

"I am not the man I used to be. Without her I will always be a shadow in the form of myself. I have lost everything and I care for nothing anymore. Emotions are for weak and I will not be weak."

Kelly looked at his dark eyes. Tears rolled on her face. His eyes used to be so sparkling. Did she turn them off?

"Forgive me I beg you."

"Get out of my life. I trusted you and you did your worst. I am not alive anymore and I am not dead either. I am nothing."

With that he left her crying herself out. She heard his steps go farther. How could she? She was a monster; she killed the woman he loved, killing him in the process.

Ache. She felt ache in her stomach then it crept lower. She cried in pain but she was alone. No one heard her. Her eyes widened as the ache increased.

"Is this my punishment?" she cried loudly, talking to no one. "Punish me but I don't want to lose my baby!"

She cried more then went unconscious, her hands clutching her stomach.

Inuyasha went to his dark room and closed the door. He looked at the mirror in front of him. His eyes, they still showed weakness. He was still weak and he could not be such.

"Kagome." He whispered her forgiven name in the darkness and felt pleasure course in his veins. "Kagome." He repeated, looking at the softening in his eyes. "I was so blind. Kagome."

Pain shot in his heart. He should not think of her. He would die from anguish. He would mask himself. He looked in his drawers and found a pair of black sunglasses. He put them on and looked at his reflection. He could hardly see himself, and his eyes were nowhere to be seen.

"I will live in the darkness without you, Kagome. You were my light." He murmured. "I will never see the light again."

Rubin climbed on stage as thousands of fans started to cheer for him. He smiled but his insides were burning.

'How could she die? So young, so beautiful, so innocent. I think that if I knew her more I would have loved her. Kagome, I promise you will never be forgotten.'

"Hey everyone!" he cried in the microphone earning some enthusiastic calls for his name. "I want you to know that this concert is special. You will be the first ones to hear my new album."

"RUBIN! WE LOVE YOU!"

He smiled but his eyes were sad. 'So young' he thought again but laughed to hide his sorrow.

"It's called princess of my heart. It was written by a very special girl. She could not be with us but I know that if she was here, she would be happy."

The crowd silenced a bit, sensing the sadness hiding in his smiles.

"For you, beautiful girl who stole my heart in a second."

The lights suddenly dimmed as Rubin began to sing slowly, touching even the iced hearts.

Princess of my heart

Angel of my dreams

Take me by my hand

Lead me to the way

Don't ever let me slip away

The crowd remained silent as Rubin continued his song, his face becoming emotional.

Cause princess of my heart

Reason of my life

You're the only one

Who can make me smile

Don't ever let me down

I see oceans in your eyes

Darkness in your hair

Coldness in your skin

Fire in your touch

Sparkles in your smiles

Heaven in your voice…

Rubin suddenly stopped, looking at the almost heavenly taken crowd. He took a deep breath as sniffles were heard.

So princess of my heart

Owner of my life

Look in my way

I want you

Princess of my heart

Daughter of the sun

I like you

Princess of my heart

Goddess of the earth

I love you

I love you, love you…

As the song finished, the crowd remained silent. Rubin was beginning to feel awkward with the silence when a girl in the front started to applaud followed by all the others who just came back from the heights were the song threw them. Rubin smiled and climbed off stage where he was greeted by the critics.

"Okay, I know what you will say and…"

"Fantastic." One of the journalists said.

"Wonderful." Another said.

Rubin looked at them in awe as they continued to shower him with compliments.

"Rubin, this song will make you the god of music." They finally agreed.

The sun was setting down, spreading its dying rays everywhere. The graveyard was empty except for one man who stood in front of a stone. He was carrying a red rose in his hand and wearing black sunglasses even when it was already dark. The wind blew in its direction, lifting his hair tied in a ponytail.

His face was cold, no emotions apparent on his features. He placed the rose on the cold marble then stood again. Silence stretched in the now dark landscape before being interrupted by the man's voice.

"I never came here before. It's somehow strange. It's been a month but I already feel your absence strongly. I just wanted to tell you, Kagome, that I will always keep you with me. I will never fall in love again, I will never forget you. And to make sure of this promise, I will keep myself in the darkness. I will never get out of those sunglasses until we reunite again, even in another life."

The wind blew more forcefully but he didn't seem to mind as the petals of the rose shattered into tiny pieces creating a red curtain around him. The corners of his mouth lifted a little in an almost smile.

"I want you to know that Sess and Rin are going to finally get married. What a relief. Kelly, she just disappeared after her confession to me. Sess and Chris are now friends again. Your mother is now working for another company. It's not a famous company but she's doing okay. At least she's not working for Naraku. The asshole suddenly traveled to France a month ago. He went in his private jet. Who knows what he is hiding and I really don't feel like knowing. He's just gone and I am glad for that. I hope he never returns."

Silence fell again. He took a deep breath.

"This will be the first and last time I come here. I don't even deserve to stand on your beautiful grave my love. I'll wait for you, forever."

He took a deep breath before turning around, slowly making his way towards his car.

"Goodbye, princess…"

The wind carried his words, words of true love, and words of a dying love.

The End
