Remember, Remember the 11th of September

 

 

 

 

Kagome watched the ceremony progress as tears silently fell down her cheeks, her normally sapphire-blue eyes a stormy-grey. She remain silent, her head held high and back straight. She glowed with grieving pride. She had to be there even though she wanted nothing more than to run home, dress her husband-mate's pillow in his recently hampered uniform, curl up on their bed and cry her grief at the senselessness.

 

The Mayor was expressing his deepest gratitude to the men and women from all facets of emergency response departments. As he began to read the list of the names of those who so selflessly sacrificed their lives to save even the smallest of lives on that fateful day, he broke down in body-wracking sobs unable to continue. His assistant was there in a heartbeat to hold him and pick up for the mayor.

 

The people gathered cried openly, griping either photos or clothing of lost loved ones or clinging desperately to the ones who survived while others still clenched their fists and swore to get the bastards who dared to hurt innocent ones. They would be joining the military, the emergency response departments after this.

 

 

 

 

Kagome could hear the names being honoured but she was stuck on one name not mentioned. Her husband-mate, InuYasha. An Inu Hanyou who held two jobs he loved with a policeman and a fireman. Because he needed less sleep than humans, could handle the jobs easily.

 

They had been sitting at the table, InuYasha in his special uniform and she in his favourite T-shirt and cotton cargo shorts, holding hands and nuzzling as they talked about taking the weekend to start trying for pups. They felt they were ready for them now.

 

He heard the planes coming with his youkai hearing, ears twitching rapidly. Kagome recognized his sudden expression and kissing deeply said `I love you' as he took off at a run snagging his dufflebag by the door.

 

It was several hours later that what he sensed coming happened.

 

 

 

Kagome had tucked her wallet inside the secret pocket of her shorts. She was just finishing tying up her shoes when she felt - heard it. The shock waves from resulting blast shook her. Sirens began screaming and people either ran past her picture window towards the explosion or away from it. Her insides too colder than ice and she took off towards the explosion.

 

 

She dove right in helping people out with her medical training in the makeshift triage units set up. She asked those she recognized from his units for any news on him. They had nothing to report to her when they had a chance to speak to her.

 

Then the worse came to pass.

 

 

InuYasha's partner, Bankoutsu, was brought in and pronounced dead even though by looking at him and his missing body parts he was gone that Kagome realized InuYasha was not coming home that day… ever again. That she had waited too long to want to get pregnant with his pup.

 

 

 

 

A hand suddenly tightens on hers, and Kagome turns her head to meet the golden eyes of her husband-mate, InuYasha also crying. Her heart swelled with even greater love and pride for her hanyou - her hero. Bandages adorned his face, his other arm, like his legs, in a cast in a sling as he sat in a wheelchair beside her. He saved over 40 people that day using his body like jaws-of-life tool extracting victims before collapsing under a sudden cave-in of more debris.

 

 

 

“We have forever together, Kagome. I love you, baby.”

 

“I love you so much, beloved.”
