One word

One word. That's all it took. One word brought her crashing down to reality.

'Kikyo.' He moaned as she kissed him passionately on the lips.

Kagome stood up and ran away (4s: is it just me or does she do that a lot?) She didn't know where she was running to she just wanted to run away from him. She ran and never looked back. Branches whipped at her hair, scratched her hands and face and cut into her soft skin, but she didn't notice. She nearly tripped several times. As she was running she could hear him slowly catching up on her. 'He's just playing with me. I know he can go faster so why isn't he?'

She was torn away from her musings as she came to the Well. She was just about to jump down it for the last time when a pair of strong hands grabbed her from behind and a voice whispered into her ear. 'Kagome, I'm so sorry. Please stay. I love you.'

'Those words won't work on me anymore Inuyasha. Let me go.' There was no emotion in her voice. 'Inuyasha just let me go. Oh, and tell Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Keade that I'll miss them.'

He let her go. His bangs covered his eyes, she never saw his tears. She gave him the sacred jewel shards.

'Kagome, before you go I need to tell you something.' He said quietly. As she turned around to face him he brought his hand to meet her face and slapped her. He slapped her so hard that she fell into the Well.

The blue lights swirled around her and she landed with a THUD at the bottom. She picked herself up and climbed out of the well. When she was out she collapsed on the floor and wept. After a couple of hours she walked towards her home to greet her family.

'Welcome back Kagome!' her mother cried as she ran forward to embrace her only daughter. She noticed that Kagome's cheek was red and slightly swollen but she didn't say anything. Her grandfather and Souta came in to welcome her as well.

After they were done greeting and hugging, Kagome's grandfather asked to see her for a moment. 'I know that you probably don't want to talk about it but, please tell me what happened. I know Inuyasha did something to you.'

For a second she was too shocked to reply. She burst out crying and managed to tell her grandfather what had happened.

He tried to comfort her as best as he could then he took her to her bedroom where she lay down on the bed and fell asleep. She was exhausted after that day's events.

--Back with Inuyasha—

Inuyasha spent the next few hours walking through the forest, killing anything that got in his way. He had several huge battles and eventually grew too tired to fight any more.

Inuyasha trudged back to the rest of the gang and told them that Kagome had been killed by a powerful demon. He had managed to avenge her and get the shards. They reacted just as he had suspected. Sango wept, Miroku comforted her and Shippo's cries could be heard throughout Japan.

--Later on in their lives--

Kagome forgot Inuyasha and married Hojo. They were happy but Kagome felt that there was something missing. She couldn't quite place what it was.

Inuyasha never forgot Kagome. Everyday he went to visit the Well. He desperately wanted to see her again. Eventually he killed himself. Life was not worth living without her by his side.

The end perhaps…

Please let me know if I should write a sequel and/or another chappie. Thankies!!
