Unbroken, Unspoken, Unseen Chapter 0

Whisper into a cry…

She watched him, her eyes soft. 'Inu-yasha…' She thought, smiling at him, his happiness. But there was something about him that wasn't right. She missed him. Though he could not see her, hear her, or even sense her… she was happy. She gave her life for him. She doubted anyone even knew she was still there.

Shippo ran out of the hut. She smiled at her son, adopted son. He ran to Kikyo, and hugged her. She nearly broke.

"At least he's happy." She said to the wind, knowing no one could hear her anymore. She left the group. It was chaos when she just disappeared…

-- Flash back –

"Inu-yasha!" She shouted, running towards him and skidding to her knees. She grabbed his hand. "Please don't go, please!" She said. He looked up at her.

"Kagome… I was never able to tell you, that I love you more then you can know. And that I'm sorry." He said, reaching up and touching her face. Tears built up in her eyes.

"Inu-yasha, you're going to make it!" She said, holding on tighter to his hand.

"No… I'm not. Here… the remaining jewel shards." He whispered, setting them on her hand. The jewel became complete when she placed the jewel shards on it, purifying it. Inu-yasha took his last breath.

"Sango… I can't do this!" She whispered, sobbing. Sango looked at her.

"Do what Kagome?" She asked, the tears in her eyes as well.

"I can't live without him Sango… I'm going to make a wish… is that all right?" She questioned.

"Kagome, of course, it's your jewel… we killed Naraku." She said. Kagome took a shaky breath.

"I wish I was dead… for if Inu-yasha is not here… then there is no reason for me to be alive anymore… because I love Inu-yasha… everything about him…" She said, clutching the jewel. "Please take my life and give it to him…" She whispered at the jewel. Sango was shocked.

"Kagome! No!" She whispered, grabbing Kagome's shoulder. Kagome started to disappear. "Kagome, please, take back the wish!" She shouted. Inu-yasha opened his eyes a moment later, when Kagome was no more. Sango fell to her knees and sobbed, Miroku beside her, comforting her, and for once, his hand never roamed.

-- End Flash back --

Kagome took a shaky breath, her spirit could feel nothing but pain now, for what she had lost. She roamed away from the group, past demons, past lands, until she ended up at a hot spring, one where her and Sango used to bathe. Where she had her first kiss…

Flashback

"Ahh, this feels so good." Kagome said, relaxing into the spring beside Sango. Sango smiled.

"Yes it does." She replied, sitting against the rocks. Kagome smiled.

"I wish we could do this everyday instead of once every couple days." Kagome said, sighing.

"Yeah." Sango replied.

"So Sango…" Kagome started, then stopped.

"Yes?" Sango asked.

"Nothing, ha, ha, ha." Kagome whistled.

"We have good times here." Sango said.

"Yeah we do." Kagome agreed, cleaning off. She sighed.

"What is it Kagome-chan?" Sango asked her, feeling concerned for her friend.

"I still haven't told Inu-yasha anything about my feelings for him… and I don't think he knows either…" Kagome whispered. Little did they know that Inu-yasha wasn't far away and that Miroku was spying on them.

"Come on lecher, get away from them." Inu-yasha said, grabbing Miroku and dragging him away. Miroku sighed.

"Sango is gorgeous." Miroku said, smiling wildly. Inu-yasha sighed softly.

"What is it Inu-yasha?" Miroku asked.

"Kagome has no idea how I feel about her." He mumbled.

"Tell her." Miroku egged on.

"I can't… I don't think I ever can. Unrequited love." He whispered. He heard Kagome and Sango laughing as they walked towards Inu-yasha and Miroku.

"Hey guys." Sango shouted, a big smile on her face, Kagome smiling the same way.

"Kagome…" Inu-yasha said when they got close enough to them to hear.

"Yes?" Kagome asked.

"Can we go talk somewhere?" Inu-yasha questioned, looking at her softly, with a little worry in his eyes.

"Yeah, sure." Kagome said, walking back the way she and Sango came, Inu-yasha following.

"I wonder what that's all about…" Sango mumbled.

"He's going to confess his love." Miroku whispered in Sango's ear, very close behind her. She jumped forward and hit him with her boomerang. (A/I- Can't spell the name of her boomerang, ha, ha, ha.)

"Don't even do that lecher!" Sango shouted, angry and blushing. Miroku smiled and walked off, whistling to himself as he did so.

(A/I – There is gonna be some OOC-ness so don't read on if you don't want to!)

Kagome looked at Inu-yasha. "What did you want?" Kagome asked. He looked at her.

"Kagome… I have to tell you something?" He said. Kagome looked at him.

"What a coincidence, I have to tell you something too." Kagome said, eyes wide.

"You first." He said, looking into her eyes.

"No you can go first." She said.

"Okay…" He said, taking a deep breath and then looking down. "Kagome… I love you." He whispered.

"What was that?" She asked, not hearing him. He leaped towards her and wrapped his arms around her, a hand going to her hair and one going around her back, holding her tightly.

"I said I love you Kagome…" He whispered into her ear. Kagome blushed.

"Inu-yasha…. I love you too." She whispered to him, burying her face in his haori.

Inu-yasha smiled and picked up Kagome's face with a finger, making her look at his eyes. He leaned down, closing his eyes, where his nose was touching hers.

"Kagome… may I… kiss you?" He asked, voice irresistibly silken. Kagome couldn't speak, staring into his eyes, so she nodded and closed her eyes, waiting. Inu-yasha leaned down and kissed her softly. He pulled back.

"Kagome, I've waited a long time to tell you that I love you." He said, hugging her to him again. Kagome blushed deeper and smiled.

"Me too." She said.

End Flashback

Kagome sighed and sat down, not being able to feel it, but knowing she was doing so. She just couldn't move on…

She sat there for awhile, suddenly hearing footsteps. 'Oh well,' she thought, 'I don't have to leave.' She put her head on her knees and heard the footsteps stop just behind her.

"Kagome?" Someone asked. The voice sounded familiar… 'But wait! No one can see me!' She thought to herself. She turned back, and there stood……

Sorry I got to end it here, I'm getting a cramp in my wrist. Damn writers' block!

Later
