It was November. I don't remember much from this day, but the strangest thing is that I do no recall any conversations. It was if nobody uttered a word. Just the wind and the songs of the last birds. I was traveling with the gang. I was happy, but who wouldn't be?

Naraku was finally as dead as he could be, Sango and Miroku were to marry next month and I was pretty sure, that soon I was going to be Aunt Kagome. Inuyasha was grumpy, since Kikyou died to kill the Hell Spawn. Shippo has decided to go and join a group of kisunes, to become stronger, as he happily said- to protect me. I was not sure, but I thought that he and a girl from the Edo village had something for him and I was extremely happy, because for a long time the only feelings we shared with the hanyou were... more like in a brother- sister relationship. Or more like a over- protective best friend...I had beautiful dreams for my life, that were among the lines- college, husband and many children. I believed that I would be happy in my lifer, until that fateful day...

It was autumn, beautiful red, golden and amber leaves were falling on the ground, giving the expression that the forest was on fire. The last birds were on their way, running from the coldness that the winter promised. Sadly I never saw that winter...

Silence was around us as we traveled. I was smiling merrily, as the wind played with my hair. Letting out a sight I looked around. My face fell as I heard strange noises. I looked at Inuyasha and he nodded to me, he had heard it too.

We broke into a sprint, the wind singing its shooting mourns around us. My friends and I ended into a small clearing. There was standing Rin, Sesshoumaru's ward and his Jaken. We froze. On the little girl's eyes there were tears. She looked at me... strangely. There was hatred in her eyes. There was regret. There was hope. There was love. But there was mostly sadness and... pleading.

Jaken on the other hand watched me, as if he wanted me to burn into the deepest layer of Hell... He was scaring me. Why would he hate me? I haven't done anything to him.

Rin made a step forward. And another. And another. She grabbed my hand. Inuyasha made a move to stop her, but I shook my head. I wanted to know what was happening...

My friends were left to stare into me as I walked into the deep forest, my black hair dancing with the wind. We came to a sudden stop. I looked at her expectedly, but her deep brown eyes said me everything. She wasn't going to talk. I was to find for my self. She soundlessly turned and waked away.

I looked around, finding nothing out of place. Just as I was about to shout for somebody to come and fetch me back. Then my breath fetched in my throat. There, under a crying willow was a body. I grasped and ran toward it. It was Sesshoumaru. The lord of the West was under a tree, his eyes closed, silver hair falling loose around his peaceful face. He was sleeping? Suddenly the realization came to me... he was not sleeping.

I carefully walked toward him and made a move to touch his cheek. My fingers lightly caressed his face. His ice- cold face...

... The youkai Lord of the West, Sesshoumaru, son and heir of the great demon Inu Taisho was no more. I made a step back. Why did Rin show me this? Why?

There in his hand then I saw a piece of paper. There written with bold letters was my name. "To Kagome Higurashi" it said.

For me? I reached toward it, but than withdrawer my hand...

Then again I stretched my arm, my palm sliding over his cool one. I shuddered.

I opened the letter...

... the letter that changed who I was.

"Kagome,

If you are reading this now, then I am no more in the world of the living. You may be confused, that, I, Sesshoumaru, will write to you. This Sesshoumaru wanted you to know this. Naraku is dead. I was there. I helped. I know that now all I lived for is finished. It has been three long years since I met you for first time. Do you remember how we met? I do...

Now that I have nothing left to fight for I will tell the world goodbye. I had everything I wished for. I became suppressed my father in power. I fought and won against my enemies.

I was strong. I had a ward, that lived for me. I killed. I saved. I hated. I loved...

Here are my last words. They are for you. This is me. This is my naked soul. This is all a can give you...

...My Beloved Kagome.

"Dearest, sorry I was not there,

For this I apologies,

Do not fall into despair,

My feelings to you were not lies.

Dearest, most loveliest of all,

Do not cry tonight,

I wish for you to know,

I always was your knight.

Dearest, maybe you did not know me,

Or maybe you just did not care,

You did not love me, so I let you be,

But for you I always was there.

Dearest, you thought I am a monster,

And maybe a monster I am,

But you do not know how I want to,

Hold your hand and show you the way.

Dearest, I am your foe,

And your secret admirer,

I just want you to know,

That I am not another liar.

Dearest, do you know that it is you I loved?

How I wished to hold you tide,

How I wished to never let you go,

I wished to cry, because was not alright.

Dearest, forgive me,

For I was that way,

Sorry for the things I could never be,

I went away, but I wanted to stay.

Dearest Kagome,

Know my words,

This Sesshoumaru did not leave you,

For anything in the world.

Dearest, I wished to hold you,

I wished to kiss your lips,

I wished I could tell you,

That you meant the world to me.

Dearest, now I lay dead,

Into your feat,

I know all you feel for me is hate,

But still I dreamed I could believe.

Dearest, I hope as I lay still,

For you to lay with me,

For you to hold on tide,

And for you to stay here for the night.

Dearest will you be mine?

Dearest, with who you will lay?

Dearest, will you give my cold lips a kiss,

For all the memories that we missed?

Dearest, Dearest, Dearest Kagome,

Do not leave me alone, just for tonight...

Because, Dearest believe me,

I love you in dead, as I loved you alive..."

Goodbye, Kagome, My Love,

I will pray to see you in the world beyond.

Truly yours, Sesshoumaru..."

I started trembling. I wanted to scream. I wanted to cry. I wanted to call his name, but not a word left my throat.

I fell to my knees before him, silent tears falling from my eyes.

He had loved me...

He had loved me...

He had loved me...

His words didn't disappear and crashed around me.

He had loved me...

I loved him too...

I didn't know why. I din't know how. I just knew I did.

I leaned over him and caressed his face. Suddenly it didn't fell so cold. It was hot...

Or was it just my tears?

I embraced him, my lips warming his ice ones. I laid down, next to him, putting his unfeeling arms around my waist, my back pressed to his chest.

I pulled a single arrow and took it in my right arm.

He loved me...

I loved him...

Than with a sharp movement I pierced the arrow thought our left sides. Thought my pulsing heart. Thought his unbeating one. Our blood mingled. My hot, his cold.

I wanted to whisper "Dearest", but I just couldn't. I took my last breath smiling. Than I closed my eyes for one last time...

It was November. I don't remember much from this day, but the strangest thing is that I do no recall any conversations. It was if nobody uttered a word. Just the wind and the songs of the last birds.

It was November- the month of the dead. The birds were running from the coldness and the wind was mourning the death of his beloved. I laid unbreathing in the arms of my mate and I was truly happy...

The End

Hey,

I know it's strange, but the idea just didn't left me alone 'till I wrote this...

It's sad I know, I don't like sad endings(them make me cry), but I couldn't stop this one from coming. I wrote the poem...

Well R&R if you liked, or if you did not.

Love you, KillingMeTenderly
