The Eternal Miko by Snow-inu

Refusal

His golden eyes stared down at her, patiently waiting. Waiting for a response she was unwilling to give. Her cerulean eyes scanned over his form, taking in everything; his long silver hair, his pale face, even his youkai markings. He was so regal and composed, a god next to her clumsiness. Her eyes fell, tears collecting at the brim, waiting to fall.

“I refuse your mating proposal,” she whispered, her voice soft yet determined. Golden eyes stared down at her in shock.

“Why?”

His deep, demanding voice sent chills down her spine as her heart ached. The miko could not lift her head, she couldn’t see the pain beneath the Taiyoukai’s eyes, knowing it was completely her fault. She loved him, she truly did.

“I refuse because I could not spend eternity at your side while everyone I love dies around me. There would so many I would leave in the dust. My family, Sango-chan, Miroku-kun, Rin-chan, Kohaku-kun, even Inuyasha-kun. I couldn’t do that,” the miko’s voice became desperate as tears began to stream down her cheeks.

 Those watery eyes looked up at him and Sesshoumaru could hear his youki whimper. He watched her lip quiver as she fought back tears.

“Is there no chance to change these thoughts,” he wondered, his voice calm as ever.

Kagome could only shake her head as she frantically swiped at her tears. A gentle growl passed his lips, but he bowed his head in acceptance, beginning to retreat back towards his small pack.

“Sesshoumaru,” she choked out, immediately stopping him in his tracks.

‘Please have reconsidered’ his thoughts begged as he turned golden eyes towards her over his shoulder to look down at her.

“You were my dream.”

A week later, she was gone and the Taiyoukai was left five hundred years behind.
