Hello, everyone. This is my first fanfic, so if there's anything wrong, I'm sorry! I don't really know anything about Japanese history or what so some of the facts might be incorrect. Other facts about Inuyasha and stuff are the same. Sorry Kikyou fans if I made Kikyou sound a little different from what she is in the real Inuyasha but, well it has to go with the story. Most of the main characters should still be in the story. So, thanks for clicking and reading the story!

The warmth of her body was gradually disappearing. He tried to hold her closer, her blood smearing onto his haori, leaving a dark red patch.
The land was bare, all but a few bare tree trunks and nothing but… snow.
The snow kept falling, uncontrollably. Snowflakes drifted onto her face but just melted away, just as her life did. He gazed down at her sleeping face. She looked so peaceful, although he wished that she would just open her eyes.
He couldn't protect her… Right before his eyes, she ended everything. Everything that they had tried to fight for the past 2 long years. He never wanted such an ending, he would rather they never met before.
He felt a single tear escape from his eye and slid down his cheek, tickling his already frosted skin, it dripped off his chin and landed onto her cheek.
"Kagome… Wake up and talk to me! Come on! Don't keep sleeping! Wake up!" His voice echoed through the barren land.
Still, no response.
"Wake up! You know I can't live without you! Don't just throw me here! After all we've worked so hard for 2 long years, you're just going to give up like that! We can still run away, live the life we've always wanted! Just open your eyes and say something!"
Maybe, it was his love that moved the gods… or maybe it was just pure luck, her finger twitched, as her eyelids tried desperately to open,
"Inu- Inuyasha?" Her voice was quivering, yet it was the thing that he would have given up his life to hear.
"Kagome! Are you alright? You're so stupid! Why did you do such a stupid thing!" Inuyasha scolded.
"I'm sorry, it's the only thing I could do to free us, both." Kagome said, her voice seemed to be getting weaker.
"You idiot! Do you think I would live much happier without you around!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"It's ok, Inuyasha. At least I knew you came… That's all I need to know…" Her voice was extremely weak, as though she was forcing those words out.
"Kagome? What's wrong! I thought you looked alright!" Inuyasha said, getting anxious as he notice her change in voice, her body was getting exceptionally cold.
"The snow here is really beautiful, isn't it…? Beautiful and cold too. It's really… cold, Inuyasha." Kagome said, shivering.
No matter how hard he tired to stop himself from thinking about it, it had come true, and he was losing her.
"I'll bring you someplace warmer. We can finally leave. Don't give up hope!" Inuyasha choked out.
"Don't bother. I know I can't last long." Kagome said.
Slowly, Kagome reached out and touched Inuyasha's face. Inuyasha grabbed her hand, preventing it from falling.
"Don't give up! We can still leave this place. We can still go to a place where no one will find us!" Inuyasha said, a glint of hope surfaced between his voice.
"Thank you for not losing hope all these years. You've been tied down with me. I'm just a weak human. I can't live long and I know I won't last long now." Kagome said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Don't say tha-"
"Listen to me Inuyasha! After I go, forget me, forget what we went though, and forget all these words. Leave this place, go to where you wanted. You'll be free. I'll always be with you… Just promise me. Promise you'll live after I go. Don't follow me. Quick! Promise me." Kagome insisted.
"I promise you, I'll do anything! Just keep talking, I'll bring you to somewhere warmer!" Inuyasha said getting up.
Red blood dripped from Kagome's white bridal Kimono and landed onto the pure white snow.
"Forget me, everything we've gone through… This dream…Goodbye Inuyasha… You're the only one I loved in my whole life… Remember, what you promised…me…I… love…you…" Kagome's voice trailed off as her hand slid from Inuyasha's. It fell and hung limply
"No! Kagome! You can't leave me alone in this world! Open your eyes! Come on!" Inuyasha's desperate cries fell on deaf ears as Kagome's body grew colder and colder.
Inuyasha fell to in knees, hugging Kagome as close as possible, trying to keep her warm. He knelt in the snow for how long, he didn't remember anymore… His mind was blank… All that was left was memories…
