Notice me

"Go ahead, keep fighting Sesshomaru!" She yelled, "Go ahead with your immortal thinking and see where that will get you!" The damn demon needed a rock dropped on his head. Kagome calmed, and her eyes pierced his. "Go ahead and dont listen to me, it is only your destiny,"

Then she turned and walked away, leaving him to stand in place. Leaving him to think of what she said, telling him he would be dead. Leaving nothing and no family. As she walked to the well, her body faded as purple light came for her. The jewel was complete, and it seemed to him, and she knew and had come to terms that she was no longer long for this time. She had said bye to all her friends, and she had come to him last. She just looked at him, and then when the wind blew, she smiled at him, but he showed nothing to her. Her smile faded, and she decided perhaps yelling at him was the only way, and it was now or never. But it was up to him to heed her, but she had little faith that he would. He didn't listen to anyone, even if they meant well for him.

It was not in till his brother fell to his knees that he snapped out of his frozen state. She was gone.

He turned to his brother, he was on his knees his fist tight. The kit was crying, and the monk and slayer were holding hands and looking at Inuyasha. One person was missing, but she was not far; Kikyo, the jewel, granted her life, though he didn't believe she was worthy of her state of living.

What he could not understand was why Kagomw had said what she had. It put him into a flash back..

FLASHBACK

He had joined their group at the end, and he had been most arrogant, more so than the norm. Once again, he and his brother had started fighting, well, Inuyasha fighting and Sesshomaru being a smart ass.

"Yeah, yeah, keep fighting; that's gonna solve everything!" She had yelled at them. She sat Inuyasha and then turned to him, pointed a finger, and said, "Knock it off Sesshomaru!"

He should not have been shocked, but he was.

It was later in the week that they came to cross paths with some demons sent from Naraku. Both him and Inuyasha were fighting the demons, one brother getting in the way of another.

"Move, Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha snapped, trying to push his brother out of the way.

"You are not needed half breed," Sesshomaru pushed back,

"Im gonna kill them and then you!" Inuyasha called back, swiping his sword at his brother,

"Foolish half breed, I will not die."

It was later that night when Kagome found Sesshomaru sitting alone at the base of a tree. She sat down next to him, pulled her knees up to her chest, and then rested her chin on them. He said nothing, but then she spoke all the same.

"You know, you immortals should not think yourself immortal."

He looked at her, and she was looking at him. He sat in silence, as did she; not long after she spoke, though, she got up. He watched as she brushed her skirt off and walked away.

END FLASHBACK

He turned away, leaving his half-brother and her friends. But as he walked away, her words still rang in his head, and those words would stay in his head for a very, very, very long time.

Kagome landed at the bottom of the well, one knee on the ground. She stood up but looked back and down at the dirt "Goodbye," She whispered.

She waited a moment before pulling herself out of the well. She had come to terms with the fact that she would be sent home; Kikyo told her not to keep foolish hopes of staying in her heart, that the jewel would not let her stay. It took weeks for her to get a grip on it, even letting Inuyasha go, in her heart anyway. She had to, for him and for her, they were not meant to be; as much as she wanted to believe, and as much as it seemed that they were, they weren't. No, her destiny was complicated, and she knew there was more; there was always more. A but, and or if, and always more. She guessed it was her strong will and pure soul that the kami granted her such a destiny.

Kagome left her well house, shutting the door to it and closing THAT chapter of her life. A chapter she would NOT forget, one she would replay in her mind over and over again. But still, she had hopes that she would see them again, but she knew it would be on the wells time, and not hers, it would have to call for her to once again return, no sooner or no later, only when it felt she should return. Her gut told her she would, though, but she had no idea when or how long it would be before that would happen; she would wait, no matter how long.

Even if it was to only see one of them, any one of them.

Take my hand...
