Love, Murder, and Betrayal

Chapter Twenty-nine: Wounds can be mended, Inuyasha’s farewell

It was reaching midnight and I waited patiently for it to begin. My bedroom door was locked and everything I needed was in the room with me. Sesshomaru probably thought I was fast asleep in my bed, but I wasn’t, I never slept on night like this. I hated to sleep. The mirror in front of me would show my weakness, my frailty, because all I was and all I am is a worthless hanyou, and a hanyou I will always be. It doesn’t seem fair to me, I had everything a guy could ever ask for, but now I have absolutely nothing. Sure I was given Kikyo, but she didn’t stay. When she found out that I loved Kagome, my Kagome, Kikyo was furious and left me. She hasn’t been back since, yet it doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would. I was so afraid of being alone that I hurt the only girl to see me as me and love me for just that, but I screwed it up so badly and now she’s gone forever.

It didn’t matter to me if Kagome had killed all those people because if it weren’t for Naraku, she would still be in America with her mother, living out her teenaged life and we would have never met. People probably hate me because I didn’t go to Kagome’s funeral, but I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t! I mean I had dressed for it, and Sesshomaru and I were about to leave when my legs wouldn’t work. He understood how I felt and I thanked him dearly, I don’t think I was a cruel person by not going, I was a coward. A coward who couldn’t face what he had done to the best thing he ever had in his life. I wished everyday for a chance to do everything all over again, so I could change all the wrongs and maybe, just maybe Kagome and I could have be together till our hands were wrinkly and our children were having grandchildren, yes I had wished for that.

I watch closely as my hair darkens and the numbing pain in my head as my ears slid down from the side of my head and change. My claws retract painfully back into my fingers and so do my canines into my gums. I go blind as my eyes change color and my ability to detect scents diminish. I am becoming human. I sigh heavily as I wait for the pain to subside, I’m nothing but a horrible monster and I will always be. I can hear my cell phone silently ringing, but I don’t answer. It’s probably Miroku or Sango trying to get me out of the house. I get to my feet a few minutes later and switch on my light. I am surrounded by the pictures on the walls, the names written over and over again, don’t try to guess who it is because there’s only Kagome on my mind. I would do anything to have her back again in my arms, but that’s impossible and I know it. My phone rings again and I turn it off, whoever is calling will just have to wait.

Running my fingers through my mane of black hair, I go to my bathroom and grab my pills, I have to take them because they are supposed to help me get better, but I know that they won’t. Pills can’t change what is wrong with one’s heart. I fill a cup up with some rum that I hid a year or two back incase of an emergency and sit down on my carpet, it’s an emergency now. I know that my window is bolted shut and my doors are barricaded, no body is able to get inside to me and to me, that is what’s best. Everything I need is place exactly where I need it. The video tape that I filmed earlier is in the tub underneath a bunch of cold water and one of my school books, it is there so the tape won’t get ruined, people will need an explanation for my actions.

Checking my watch, it read six in the morning, it is time. Taking the pain relievers like candy I poured the rum onto the floor with the vegetable oil that I swiped from the kitchen. I was making sure that nothing was going to go wrong. Shoving the rest of the unknown pills down my throat, I doused myself with the vegetable oil and waited for the pills to take affect. I could feel my body growing numb, so I clumsily grabbed the box cutter and sliced a giant T up to my elbow making sure that the veins in my wrist couldn’t be suchered. Almost finished I lay down on my smell and soaked carpet and pull out the zippo lighter from my pocket and light it. Sighing one last time, I close my eyes and drop the lighter and it catches alight.

“Kagome…” I whispered as it went black around me.

oOo

Sesshomaru had left his home around eleven thirty to head towards the airport, he had received a phone call from Rin earlier that day, she was coming home. The Inu-youkai had been nearly jumping for joy and wasted no time on getting everything ready for her arrival. Rin explained that the only reason that she and Shiori were coming back was because of Inuyasha. She claimed that the hanyou needed serious help, which was true, but Sesshomaru could plainly hear the loneliness in Rin’s voice as she spoke.

He was just tickled pink as he drove to the airport and waited quite impatiently for Rin’s plane to land, it had been too long for him and he never wanted to see Rin pack up her things and take Shiori away from him again. When he saw the people departing, he stood up from his seat and pushed through the people around him in order to get closer. He could smell where the two woman were and the moment Shiori spotted him, she dashed to him, dropping her luggage and jumping into his arms. Hugs and kisses were given to Sesshomaru by his daughter for what seemed like forever, but he didn’t care, all that mattered was that they all were together again.

The drive home was a long one, but Shiori’s endless chatter was something that Sesshomaru had missed dearly. They stopped at a near by rest stop and picked up a bite to eat before setting off down the road once again. About five or so minutes away, Sesshomaru frowned and looked worriedly at Rin, she could see the black smoke too. It was a good thing that Shiori had fallen asleep because the moment Sesshomaru could see his home did he see the countless fire engines, paramedic trucks and police cars. Yellow tape surrounded his home and there were so many people there. Getting out of the car, Sesshomaru jogged up to the paramedics as they pulled a stretcher into the vehicle.

“What’s going on?” He asked a fireman confused.

“Are you Sesshomaru Tama?” the man asked.

“Yes.” Sesshomaru replied.

“Well sire, I’m sorry to say this, but you’re house was caught on fire.” The man continued sullenly. “There wasn’t much damage to the East side of your home, but the water damage and smoke damage has destroyed the whole west side of your home.”

Sesshomaru looked at the mansion as the fire raged on, the water was doing little to help, but it would be out in a few hours, six minimum. Rin came up to Sesshomaru’s side and gasped in horror at the sight of the home, there was no saving it, the mansion would have to be demolished and rebuilt.

“Where’s my half-brother Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru asked coldly, the house didn’t matter, only the whereabouts of his hanyou brother.

“Well,” The fireman said uneasily, “A few men of mine searched the place for any people left in the house and it took a while to break down the door, it had been barricaded by a few large objects and we found a body. We don’t know how he died, but he was burned beyond recognition. A team of experts will be here soon to conduct an investigation on how the fire started.”

“Where’s Inuyasha?” Sesshomaru demanded impatiently.

The fireman looked a little hesitant on telling the demon standing in front of him, but he answered none the less, “They loaded him onto the ambulance not even ten minutes ago. I’m sorry Mr. Tama, but there was no survivors. The paramedics will be taking him to the morgue where an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.”

“Why do they need to perform an autopsy?” Rin asked, her voice trying not to hide her tears.

“Because they found a VHS in a plastic bag underneath a water filled tub, police are calling the case either a homicide or suicide until they view what’s on the tape.”

Sesshomaru pulled Rin into a tight embrace as the tears began to fall from her eyes, the two of them knew that it wouldn’t be a homicide, no nobody murdered Inuyasha. If anything Inuyasha waited for Sesshomaru to leave and committed suicide so he couldn’t be stopped. Pulling out his cell phone, the Inu-youkai called Miroku, Inuyasha’s friend to tell him the news. There would be yet another funeral.
