Chapter 1: Dying?

Kagome laid in InuYasha's arms, her skin began to grow as cold as ice, and as white as snow. The only color that was on Kagome's face was the red liquid that trickled out of her mouth.

"InuYasha, I'm scared." Kagome whispered as she reached her hand for his. She felt his hand wrap around hers as she brought it to her heart. He could feel the rhythm as his hand was pressed to the spot Kagome felt the most pain at.

"Kagome, don't be afraid. I'm here for you." His eyes filled with tears looking at the girl he loved dieing, and he couldn't do anything about it. Once before he had lost Kikyo. He mourned her, but now Kagome? Why was she getting taken away from him. Once he started to fell the same feelings he had for Kagome.

"InuYasha, you are crying for me." Kagome smiled. "Don't worry though. I will go to heaven, I believe that InuYasha." Then her arm went limp in InuYasha's hand and he felt the last beat in her chest.

"Kagome. I loved you. I always will. Kagome I'll wait for you as long as you wait for me." He whispered then all the sounds that came from the dark room was the soft cries of InuYasha.

After two days of InuYasha digging at the dirt in the walls, InuYasha broke free to the surface. He was stuck in the room with Kagome's lifeless body but it never seemed to decay as a body would usually start to. InuYasha took the body and pulled her out as he found the grass and the soft yellow sun. He sighed and finished pulling her body up. Kagome would have done the same. He thought over and over. InuYasha picked up Kagome and walked through the sun he didn't know what time it was but he headed towards the forest he once came to kill the demon that had killed Kagome. He walked through the forest and it became dark out but he put her down and began to dig a grave for Kagome. Before placing her in the hole he tore the spike out of her lungs that the demon had shot off just before dieing. Then InuYasha took her and placed her in the hole. He put a blanket over her body and began to bury her. He said his goodby's and then put a flower on the grave. After staying in the area for the time he did he headed to Kaede's village that he had called home for the time he adventured.

InuYasha reached the town and walked to his friends who all sat outside looking at the stars. Sango laughed and sighed. Then they all turned to InuYasha who sat down in a chair. Shippo looked at the half-demon who was his adopted father. He saw a tear run down InuYasha's face just before he wiped it away. Shippo was concerned to see him cry, InuYasha never cried.

"Where is mom?" He asked hoping that she was bathing at a hot spring and enjoying her time alone. But InuYasha didn't respond at all. Sango grabbed Miroku's hand.

"InuYasha where is Kagome?" Sango leaned to InuYasha who looked up at her with puffy red eyes.

"Sango... she is in a better place now." He said. Sango's eyes filled with tears, and Miroku closed his eyes. Shippo came closer to InuYasha and grabbed his arm. He wanted to be held but he knew InuYasha wouldn't do it. He knew that the only person who would was dead. He began to cry on InuYasha's arm. Then InuYasha stood up and walked to the tree line. He sighed and then took off. He was running through the forest when he saw that the sun's light was beginning to shine through the trees he began to walk. InuYasha soon came upon a tree with it's roots sticking up out of the ground there was a small hole so InuYasha went to the hole and poked his head in. He saw stone walls inside the four foot hole, but nothing inside it. So he climbed in and fell asleep.

InuYasha dreamt that night of Kagome. He felt the kiss he once had when he was full demon. Kagome didn't run from him as others would have but instead he was accepted by her. The feelings that were placed between the two were not to be broken. Death was the thing that took them apart. Not Kikyo, or the fact that they were from different times. InuYasha soon found that he loved her. He was always worried for her and now it felt as though he was becoming dead himself. But he could feel himself being pulled into the earth by the gravity. Now he was certain that he fell for her as he did with Kikyo. Why? Why her? He thought while sleeping. Then he felt a warm touch on his heart and a voice as sweet as silk said to him.

"I love you, too InuYasha. But you need to let me go." Then the feeling was gone and InuYasha felt himself waking up. InuYasha opened his eyes and grabbed Tetsusaiga. He gasped and then relaxed. InuYasha climbed out of the hole and stretched. He walked to a field right out side the forest and saw a demon. He was holding a woman in his hand and laughing as he squeezed her. She screamed and InuYasha drew his sword.

"Put her down!" He yelled. The demon looked at InuYasha and put the girl down. She ran away heading to a road that cut through the field. The demon laughed and began to run away.

"Get back here you stupid coward. Come back and fight!" InuYasha ran after the demon. He came to a clearing after a while of running and listened but didn't hear the demon running anymore. InuYasha turned around and saw the demon. He felt a sudden pain and then all went black.
