No more days by Lady_Dark_Kitten

Chapter One

~I was childish and unfair

To you, my only friend

I regret, but now it's too late~

Sesshoumaru sat alone in his room balcony door closed with no moon light showing threw. He sat on his bed tail wrapped around him self. He held a small ring, the ring he gave her. He watched it even though he could not see it. Why did it have to be this way? He wondered as one tear rolled down an ivory cheek.

He sat like that for days the memories of her last days slowly replaying in his mind. His brilliant gold eyes dulled to bronze. He looked at the place where she used to lay beside him.

{They stood ready. They knew they could beat him, there was nothing he could do... he never gave a notice as he leapt out of the brush at the expectant party. He and she fought side by side. For everyone there this would be the end...}

~I can't show you any more

The things I've learned from you

Cause life just took you away

I'm asking why

I'm asking why~

{Kagome dodged and launched another arrow making way for everyone to get to the heart of the beast. They hacked and slashed, she let one after another fly. Everyone hit its mark. Sesshoumaru looked back to see that she was ok he breathed relief as he turned to cut down another tentacle an arrow flew over his head...}

Sesshoumaru stood out of the bed and moved to the balcony. He opened it seeing the moon for the first time since her death. His hair wafted in the wind as he walked to the railing. He leaned on it watching the waning moon as his heart twisted in pain for the hundredth time.

{He took the few steps that offered but every step toward Naraku's death counted no matter how small. Suddenly there was a heart-pricing scream. When he turned around he saw Kagome wrapped in a tentacle. He tried to get to her but his leg was caught. He turned around cutting it away.}

~Nobody gives an answer

I'm just asking why

But someday we'll meet again

And I'll ask you

I'll ask you why

Why it has to be like this~

{A new scream erupted from his love; this time it was not from fear but agony. He looked back to see one of the arms was crushing her. He felt another arrow whizzed by him as he started to move to her. A wall of squirming tentacles suddenly wove its self in front of him. He leapt over it hitting the ground hardened as tentacles pierced her body making her scream again. She managed to get one last arrow out before Sesshoumaru reached her.}

Sesshoumaru's eyes started turn crimson as he watched the moon. He pushed hair out of his face as he wished for his days to end. She had no more time. She had no more days. He clenched his teeth; soul mates should never be parted.

{When he reached her the arms had dissolved and she crumpled to the ground. He skidded to a stop next to her and pulled her battered form into his lap staining his white shirt and pants. She looked up at him and smiled painfully.

"Kagome..." he whispered as his eyes stung with tears. Her face was pail and blood was seeping into the ground. "You're going to be ok." He lay on hand on her forehead and closed his eye. But she brushed it away and he clenched his jaw at the stubborn girl.

"No..." she grimaced. "I'm not and..." she breathed deep and he could already feel her going cold. "Not even you can save me." His jaw tightened as he pulled her closer. "Sesshoumaru..." he blinked trying to keep the tears at bay.

"Kagome you can't..." she reached up putting one hand on his cheek saddened and pained tears cleaning paths down her blood and dirt smudged cheeks, everyone was looking on so shocked they couldn't move.}

Sesshoumaru looked back in his room at the bare spot on his bed where she should have been next to him. He started to grind his as he look over to the equally blank spot on the wall where Tenseiga should be hanging.

~I'm asking you why

Please give me an answer

Many years and stupid fights

Till we accept to see

How it was and it'll always be~

His eyes trailed down the wall to a box where the reminisce of the healing sword where held. He damned the demon that broke it and Toutousai for being unable to piece the sword back together.

{"I'm sorry Sessh." He put a hand on hers and squeezed. "I love you." he pulled her close his lips to her ear swiftly feeling her breathing dip and her heart beat start to fade.

"I love you Kagome." Her grip on his hand tightened as he body shuttered. He bit his tongue almost making it bleed. "Do not leave me." He whispered as the faint beat of her heart slowed to a stop and her grip gave way. He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Is she..." he looked back his eyes dark and pained.

"Don't touch me!" He snarled as he stood gathering her in his arms. "Get a blanket Inuyasha... and meet me at the well" felling his brothers anger the hanyou ran back to the hut and swiftly grabbed one.}

~Why it has to be like this

Why we don't realize

Why we're too blind to see the one

Who's always on our side

I'm asking why

I'm asking why~

{When Inuyasha made it to the well he found his half brother sitting next to the well with her held close as one tear slid down his face. Inuyasha never thought he would see his brother cry over anything. Everyone at the hut was grieving and Inuyasha's face showed sings of tears. But his brother was consumed with grief. Even thought his face was stone still his eyes gave everything away as did his tear.}

~Nobody gives an answer

I'm just asking why

Just tell me why Why it has to be like this

That the good ones disappear

I'm asking you why~

{"Umm Sesshoumaru..." he did even look up.

"Say nothing of this to any one or I will slowly dismember you." he glanced at Inuyasha out of the corner of his blood shot gold eyes.

"I wasn't going to... I have the blanket, its thick so..." Sesshoumaru stood up and yanked the blanket out of his half brothers hands. He sat down next to Kagome again taking his obi off and carefully wrapped it around her waist then he wrapped her in the blanket.

"You said her where the only ones that could go threw correct?" he looked at Inuyasha seeming to regain his composure.

"Yes..." he walked up to his brother and grabbed the front of his shirt.

"Take me!" the snarl was like nothing he had ever heard from any demon or animal there was no room for argument.

"You're going to have to hold my hand..." Sesshoumaru dropped him.

"I don't care." He picked her up and went threw the well with his half brother.}

He dressed and walked down the hallways to his study so he could catch up on work. Now he silently grieved, wishing for more days with her.
