Kagome's POV!(POINT OF VIEW!)
Two for OnePrologue
Finally, after four long years of hunting-down, chasing, and killing, we had defeated Naraku, but at a terrible price; Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's brother, had lost the only light in his eyes, Rin. Inuyasha had lost his Tetsusaiga and his love of 54 years, Kikyo. Sango lost her only living relative, her brother Kohaku. Koga, had lost two people very dear to him, Ayame, a wolf demon whom he promised to marry, but he had forgotten over his love for me, and he also lost his close companion, Ginta. Miroku broke an arm and lost his Wind Tunnel. Shippo had been completely 'de-clawed' on his left paw from the battle. Kirara had earned many injuries and scars to show for her loyalty. And I earned some minor injuries.
Chapter 1: When All is Lost…"In-Inuyasha, are… are you O.K.?" I asked while walking over to tend his injuries, "No Kagome… I'm not, I- I should have protected Kikyo, it should have been the other way around, I-I should have protected her…" he managed to whisper. "Inuyasha…" I didn't know what to say, there was nothing I could, Kikyo, the only other person I really despised, was now dead, but the man I love, is in complete shock because of it, and it was all because of me…"I-Inuyasha, I'm so sorry, I didn't even know what I was doing…" I started spilling tears from my eyes, "If I could change it, it would have been me in front of the arrow…" I was crying so hard now… Then, I fell to my knees, wrapped my arms around Inuyasha, and while crying tears of guilt, fell asleep and during the time I was asleep my mind was replaying how Kikyo died, over and over again…
Flashback
"Kill him… Kill Inuyasha!" a voice in my head told me and I couldn't stop myself from aiming my arrow at the transformed hanyou, lying on the ground with his expression-less face staring at me like he was telling me to just kill him. I pulled back my arrow, ready to shoot, then for a moment, I saw a look of sadness aimed at a girl running towards him but before I could put my arrow down, I shot the arrow… Hitting the girl who ran in front of Inuyasha to protect him… "Inuyasha, you have protected me many times, now it's my turn…ung… Inuyasha… I… love you…" I heard her say before she dissipated into thin air, with no sign of any of the earth and bones she was made up of. And the hanyou she loved turned back to normal to see her dissipate, and to see the rest of her soul come back to me. After I was out of the trance, I heard Naraku say with an evil laugh… "Well done Kagome! Even though you didn't kill Inuyasha, you killed the woman I despised with all my heart! Hahahaha hehehe!" "You liar! I didn't kill Kikyo!" but what he said was completely true… I turned my head with horror to see Inuyasha staring at me with eyes of want, and anger… "…NARAKUUUU!" I yelled, and before Naraku realized it, before I realized it, I pulled an arrow, aimed, and shot it, in less than a second…He was finally dead…
Two days later
Hahahaha hehehe!" "You liar! I didn't kill Kikyo!" but what he said was completely true… I turned my head with horror to see Inuyasha staring at me with eyes of want, and anger… "…NARAKUUUU!" I yelled, and before Naraku realized it, before I realized it, I pulled an arrow, aimed, and shot it, in less than a second…He was finally dead…
"STOPPP!" I yelled. My eyes shot open and I realized that I was at home, in my time. Huh? Why am I here! I should be back in the Feudal Era! I thought as I jumped out of bed and started putting my clothes on in a hurry… "Kagome? Are you awake? Inuyasha's downstairs, he's been waiting for 2 days honey!" my mom said while knocking on the door. Inuyasha… He's here…I walked downstairs and saw him sitting on the couch waiting for me…
"Inuyasha… thanks for waiting for me… Are the others all right?" I asked wanting to get rid of the awkwardness between us, "Yeah, everyone's O.K." he said, "That's good… well I guess we should go back after all, we still have to do something with the jewel…" I said, "I'll go get my stuff ready and be down in 10." I said while walking upstairs hastily. I didn't want to look him in the eye, much less look at him… "Inuyasha? Is something wrong between you and my sister? Normally you two are always bickering." Sota asked Inuyasha, "Na, it's fine." Inuyasha answered. Inuyasha knew why she rushed back upstairs… so she didn't have to look at him…
Back in the Feudal Era
Inuyasha and I are walking towards the village when I can't take the silence between us any longer… "Inuyasha, do you hate me…" I asked wanting to know, "No Kagome, I could never hate you… but it will take a long time for me to recover, for the wound you gave me was deep." He said with emotionless eyes directed at me, and those eyes jabbed through me like a thousand daggers, but the pain of knowing I hurt him was unbearable…
That Night
Shippo and I realized that Sango and Mirokus relationship had obviously moved up, for they were sleeping right next to each other.
I lay in my sleeping bag when I heard something I had only heard once before, Inuyasha was sleep talking, "Kikyo… Wait KIKYOOO! I love you! Don't GO!" he was squirming uncontrollably, and at that moment I realized, that I wanted to run away from it all… so I did…
