A Never-Ending Love
Chapter 21
Hello again!
It's been a long time, I know. I'm aware that this chapter is rather short, but there's a reason for that.
After 15 years, I've chosen to pick up this Fic again and ACTUALLY finish it this time. Since it's been such a long time, some of our fav fic sites have slowed down, so I've chosen to move it somewhere else.
I hope everyone can understand.
I'll be posting it on A - O - 3 (Google it without the hyphens, if necessary) I'm there under DragonGrl0701
Thank you for your faith and love in my works all these years.

It was painful to think that it was all truly over and everything that we built together had to disappear. It was something difficult to accept but since it was the consequence for my decision, I really had nothing else. I had to accept it regardless of what I felt. I had chosen to live and that was the price I had to pay in exchange. My mind could not think of anything else but Sesshomaru. My dreams were of nothing but him and his image kept haunting them the entire night as I slept. At least he was still with me in my dreams; it was all that mattered to me and no one would be able to take him away from me there. Yet, I had chosen to stop being selfish and I was going to keep my promise. I was not going back on my word and I would do whatever needed to be done in order to keep it. So I needed to show everyone that I was ok. I needed them to see that everything on the outside was ok even when the world inside me had already collapsed.

The next morning, I awoke to a pounding headache and realized that I had fallen asleep in the dress I had worn. So I sat up and looked out the window, noticing that the sun had already risen and shined brightly. It reminded me that it was a new day and with that new day, it brought to light a new beginning, the new change that had to happen in my life. Well another to the millions of changes I had already done to it. I didn’t want to cry anymore, it was becoming more and more painful every time I did and I didn’t want the others to see me cry either. So I stood and walked to the bathroom to clean up and start the new day with no traces of tears. Once I was done, I walked downstairs and met up with Ayame in her study. I gave no sign that I had been crying except for the stained pillows that remained on my bed. We had our breakfast together and she caught me up to date with things that I had missed out while I was gone. Around the afternoon, Inuyasha and Kagome showed up and I spent the rest of the day with them.
They delayed their honeymoon for a couple of days because I wouldn’t be there when they came back. Kagome wanted to spend the rest of the days I had left with me and once I returned to New York, they would go on their honeymoon. I spent the next two days with them and the rest of the group. We went to several places and had a good time. Although with the rush of her wedding and the ‘other’ things that happened, I completely forgot to tell Kagome about who I’d seen since before I left. I really wasn’t sure whether I should tell her but I couldn’t go around and not, it just bugged me.
