The Boy Next Door
Cold thick inky darkness choked her as she tried to breathe. A biting chilled wind seeped into her bones as her body fell for what seemed an eternity. The louder she tried to scream out for help the softer her voice came from her mouth. A thump, as she bounced off what looked to be a shining black marble floor. She raised her eyes only to be faced with a blinding spotlight and voices discussing what they should do with her, to her.
“Hello.” Kagome called out to the voices. It was at that time that the deformed face of Inuyasha and a blue hued Sebastian appear before her. They grabbed a hold of her as started to struggle for freedom. They sneered and started to shake her violently screaming her name.
“Sesshomaru!” She screamed as she bolted straight up and hit her head into Sesshomaru's.
“Ow, damn it, Kagome!” Sesshomaru said releasing her rubbing his nose.
“I had that dream.” She said as she hung her head down and started to cry.
Sesshomaru sighed and scooted to pull her into his arms. “It's okay.” He said.
He felt her body shake in denial. “All of theirs deaths are my fault. Every night they remind me of their fate, because of me.” She cried as he rubbed her back in comfort.
“You are just stressed with the wedding tomorrow.” Sesshomaru said holding her tighter.
“Yeah, you keep saying that, but I know they want revenge.” She whispered holding him.
She had been having the same nightmare for a couple of weeks now. Sesshomaru insisted that once the wedding was over that she would be okay. Kagome wasn't so sure about that. The dream was becoming harder to wake from and now she could even feel it. Kagome snuggled closer to Sesshomaru and let the beat of his heart lull her back to sleep.
Too bad Sesshomaru could not believe his own words, as he lay worrying.
Kagome fidgeted with her dress as Sango went to see how the guests were doing. Now alone she stared at her pregnant belly in her long white virginal dress in the mirror. A chuckled escaped her lips as the click of the door made her look behind her in the mirror. Her eyes shot wide as she spun around to face the intruder.
“Kikyo!” She screamed as the shot rang out in the church.
Sango had only come out minutes before hand to give Kagome some time to calm her nerves before the wedding. The church was perfect as she wondered down the aisle to speak to Hiten. She didn't even make it to his side before two shots echoed in the church.
Sesshomaru burst through the door to find Kagome gasping for air and a fading fast Kikyo. He made it to her side and pulled her into his arms much like he had done the night before. Her eyes shined with tears as she wheezed and held his hand tight to her heart. Sesshomaru begged her to hold on as the sound of an ambulance hit his ears.
“I..I..love ..you.” She rasped out.
“Don't Kagome. I am here with you.” Sesshomaru said firmly. Letting her know it was not okay to leave this world. She could only smile at him as he frowned and a tear slipped.
Sesshomaru slid down the wall in the hallway beside the waiting room. He just couldn't be with those people right now. Sure they were family, but they couldn't understand what Kagome and he had been through since the beginning of their relationship. Not to mention if one more person gave him that look of `I feel so sorry for him' he was going to punch them in the face. He just didn't know what he would do if he lost her.
He spotted the doctor approaching and jumped to his feet. Sesshomaru felt sick at the sad expression that the doctor wore as he stopped in front of him. The doctor cleared his throat and Sesshomaru was ready to choke him for not just spitting it out.
“She is alive…” Was all that Sesshomaru heard as the rest of the family came out to the hall to see what the doctor had to say. It was the doctors next words that knocked the breathe out of him and his blood run cold. “She lost the baby.”
“What?” Sesshomaru asked with a blank stare.
Kagome woke with the warmth of Sesshomaru cuddled next to her and for a minute she had thought that perhaps it had been one of her bad dreams. The only problem with that was the shooting pain in her side and when she went to rub her belly she froze.
“My baby, my baby, where is my baby?” Kagome shouted hysterically waking Sesshomaru.
“You lost the baby.” Sesshomaru said grabbing her hand.
“No, this is just another dream. Wake me up Sesshomaru. Please…Please.” She begged.
Sesshomaru didn't say anything as he looked away and held his head low so she would not see the tears burning in his eyes. He only looked back when she started screaming that she was sorry wrenching her hand free to cover her face.
“Kagome, this wasn't your fault. It was that bitch Kikyo's fault.” He bit out.
“NO, don't you see that I am being punished for what I have done.” She said throwing her hands around wildly, before once again screaming how sorry she was.
“Kagome! Stop this at once!” He yelled grabbing her face to get her attention.
It seemed to work as she stopped waving her hands and screaming. He watched as she cried her self to sleep not hearing the words that he kept repeating to her. He watched in fear that his Kagome was lost to him. Replaced with a mad woman that could not see realty through her pain. He would have to find a way to bring her back.
