What else was there about this boy?
Chapter One- Empty Battlefield
------------------------------
The battlefield stained in blood and covered with wreckage, the sound of silence echoing repeatedly through the air. It was done, over. Twilight was breaking and their tasks were finished.
Kagome opened her eyes. She was on the ground, her uniform drenched with mixed blood. She was so scared to know the conditions of the others .Naraku was dead, gone forever. It was something strange, to know that he was finally finished. She took a breath filling her lungs, trying to remember exactly what happened when she was half conscious. Her eyes widened in realization.
"Inuyasha!" she called out. Minutes before she passed out, before the final blow that Naraku got, Inuyasha had received one as well. She whipped her head around despite how sore her neck was. She found a red figure lying across the way from her.
"Inuyasha...Inuyasha...INUYASHA!" she whispered and then screamed. She picked herself up and stumbled feeling the pain running up and down her twisted ankle. Ignoring it she slumped down beside him. She was literally sitting in his blood.
Inuyasha smiled, desperately opening his eyes to see her face. She looked down at him in shock and fear. "It's ok Kagome...I can't feel the pain anymore." She broke out into a sob looking at his wounds and how long he was sitting there... alone.
"Inuyasha..You'll be ok." She choked out of her cries. Lifting up his hand that was covered in dry blood, he put it against the side of her face. "Kagome, I don't like seeing you cry, You know that..."
Coughing up blood and almost choking on it, Kagome lifted him up so he was in sitting position. "Don't leave me Inuyasha..." she told him with tears rolling down her face. Blood spilled out of his mouth as he gave her a sad smile. "I'm not leaving you.." he paused "Only my body is.."
Kagome put her arms around him and closed her eyes and wept into his shoulder. "You can't, you can't!" she pleaded.
Inuyasha put one arm around her back. "Kagome, you have a life to live and I don't want you to waste it on me, I did everything I could. I was so scared of losing it... You have no clue how happy I am that your alive..." he said, his voice starting to weaken.
Kagome didn't know what to do, Inuyasha got through everything else, why did he have to die here? But it was too much this time, all that was ringing through her head was, that she should have done more and how she wanted more time with him, how she loved him. "Inuyasha...This isn't enough for me...I want you to be alive.."
Inuyasha waited a second before he answered in a whisper. "Kagome... I am alive, and I'll always be alive...as long...as you don't...forget...And I won't forget you...So...we will stay... alive..." She could barely hear the last word he said, she was shaking, she was so upset, so rattled. She never knew anything could be this tough, she didn't know this kind of pain.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and a soft voice. "Kagome...it's no use...he's gone.."
She looked up at Miroku, then she buried her face back in Inuyasha's shoulder.
"I don't care." she said her words muffled
"Kagome...your going to get sick on the ground.."
"I don't CARE!!" she cried still holding Inuyasha's limp body. Miroku looked at both of them with sadness and said a prayer shutting his eyes.
Kagome felt a tug at the bottom of her shirt. Turning her head Shippo, wore an expression of deep sadness. "Kagome..We're all unhappy too..." he said as tears rolled down his eyes breaking out sobbing..."I miss him too... Inuyasha!!" The fox demon sprung onto Inuyasha's arm and hugged it. "Inuyasha you IDIOT!!!" he screamed with fury and sorrow at the same time. Miroku gently pulled him from Inuyasha. "Shippo..This doesn't make it any better." he said softly waiting for the fox demon to understand.
Shippo eyed Kagome and calmed down
"How come it can't be a happy ending.." Sango said to Miroku standing beside her in a quiet voice.
"It could have been worse..." he answered looking her tear-filled eyes. "Sango...I think we should leave Kagome alone for a small while." he suggested. Sango shook her head slowly in agreement. "It's ripping her up so bad...it's ripping us all.." she said under her breath walking away with Miroku.
Kagome could no longer feel any warmth from his body. "Damn it! DAMMIT!" she screamed into the dark and the cool air that was chilling her. "Would it be wrong if I said...that I wanted to be dead too...?" she spoke into the night. Hoping some miracle would happen, and Inuyasha would spring back to life arguing against those words. "What if I wanted to be dead too!" she yelled at his lifeless body feeling the pain swelling and running through her veins. He wasn't coming back. He was dead.
Kagome took one last look at him. She had to do a few more things. Lifting off the necklace from his neck she held it in her palm. "This is my memory of you." she said laying him down feeling the tears rolling down her face. Pulling herslef up she limped in the direction Sango and Miroku went.
Discovering them sitting by a fire asleep side by side holding each other's hand, even though she was far away from a smile she was happy for them, and couldn't help feeling utterly lonely.
"We're having a funeral tomorrow..." she announced to nobody but herself knowing how sad those words sounded. It hurt for her to announce it. As if it really made it final, it made it all so much worse.
She pulled her sleeping bag out of her backpack and rolled it out in front of the fire. She did it in such a poor fashion looking miserable. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep, not for a few days. She was going to be a lump, a soggy wet lump from all her tears.
"Inuyasha...what you said...even if your body wasn't alive...It's not going to make a big difference on how I feel...right now..but I do want to remember you...even if it hurts..." she spoke inside her head, on the outside weeping.
Kagome was surprised when there was light shining in her face. It was the morning and it was sunny. "I must have...cried myself asleep." She layed there, her head under the covers. "What am I going to do...what am I going to do?!" She didn't feel like waking up. She wanted to sleep even if her body said no. She didn't want to hurt, there was going to be a lot of hurt and she didn't want to feel it just yet. "No...I'm going to keep myself together today...then..I'm going home.." she told herself in her head.
Hearing footsteps, she turned to see Sango looking down at her. "Kagome...are you getting up soon? We've...have some ideas for what to do with...Inuyasha's body."
Those words stung Kagome, "Inuyasha" it only smacked her in face and Sango could tell.
Kagome slid out of her sleeping bag and struggled to stand. Her foot gave out and she collapsed on the spot. She was still in the clothes from the night before and she was still covered in dry blood and her hair was a mess. Sitting on her knees she put her hands to her face and started crying, but all she could do was make sounds without the tears. "I can't cry anymore...There's nothing left." Sango looked as if she could burst as well. "Oh Kagome.." she choked hugging her.
Sango helped her up and draped one arm over her shoulder. "Kagome we covered him with a tree branch..What do you think he would want most?" Sango asked.
Kagome thought for a minute, ignoring the pain in her chest. "I think...we should cremate him...and then...bury him in the village..."she said speaking slowly. Sango nodded as she was thinking about it. "We'll do it right now.."
Kagome and Sango approached Miroku and the tree branch that covered Inuyasha. Miroku looked back and forth from their glum dreary faces. "Have we decided?" Sango nodded.
The flames twirled upwards to the sky, the smell of pine needles in the air. All of them watched sadly. "Goodbye."
