And so we begin...

Chapter 1: A Mortal Life, Immortal Love

He lied in the girl's arms, on the hard ground. Blood was coming from both his face and chest. His red hoari was burned and torn. He gasped quietly, but helplessly for air. After defeating a demon even more powerful than the all-powerful Naraku, Inuyasha was on the verge of dying.

Kagome held Inuyasha close, afraid to let him go. Blood was staining her uniform and she cried silent tears for the wounded hanyou. She stroked Inuyasha's hair with her left hand and her ring finger shined.

Kagome happily dragged Inuyasha to the well in the soft sunset. "What're you doin'?!" Inuyasha yelled while he tried to keep grip of Kagome's hand. Kagome giggled and they reached the mini open field of the Bone-Eater's Well. The couple sat on the rim.

Kagome shuffled through her skirt pockets and pulled out two small, navy blue boxes.

"What are those supposed to be?" Inuyasha questioned. Kagome opened the boxes and showed the interiors of them to Inuyasha.

"They're promise rings." Kagome said and pulled a ring from one of the boxes. "Give me your left hand, please," Kagome said.

"Kay." Inuyasha stuck out his left hand from under his sleeve, and Kagome slipped the ring onto his ring finger. She let go of Inuyasha's hand and he stared at the shimmering ring.

It was gold, and looked almost like a wedding band.

"What are they for?" Inuyasha asked.

"They're to make promises with another person." Kagome smiled. Inuyasha and Kagome closed their eyes and their minds intertwined.

"Let's promise to always be together forever," they said at the same time. They both smiled and Inuyasha pulled her into a hug.

"I love you so much," Inuyasha declared and squeezed Kagome close to him and Kagome hugged back.

"I love you, too," Kagome said truthfully. She pulled back a little and looked at him.

Inuyasha cupped his hands around her cheeks and kissed her. The kiss started gentle, then Kagome kissed back, harder. She started to laugh and they fell on the ground.

Inuyasha, who lied on top of Kagome, sat up. He looked at her as she sat up as well, brushing her hair behind her ear. His golden amber eyes glistened and he smiled. He took hold of Kagome's free hand with his left hand, his ring shimmering.

He opened his mouth to speak. "Kagome, we've already defeated Naraku. We've reformed the Shikon no Tama. We did all that together. I love you and I want to be with you forever. So could you do me a favor?"

Kagome nodded slowly.

"Will you marry me?"

Kagome stared back at him. She hadn't expected that question. She was already 19 years old and hadn't even thought about marriage. She attended Tokyo University for nursing and studied her brain raw, so she never had time to even consider getting married. But now she would have to, because Inuyasha asked HER to marry him. Not Kikyou. Even if Houjo had asked her, she wouldn't have accepted.

"Hai! Of course I will!" Kagome squeezed his hand tightly and cried soft tears of joy. She kissed him and flung her arms around his neck. "How could I NOT marry you?" Inuyasha smiled at her comment and hugged her.

"Can we tell the others?" Kagome asked. "Tomorrow. We'll tell them tomorrow, so then the two of us can just celebrate tonight." Inuyasha said then grabbed Kagome's shoulders and kissed her hard in the dark. (They continued to kiss and did stuff that I can't say 'cuz there's kids roaming the net!!)

Kagome never remembered to tell the others of their engagement.

(End flashback mode)

Kagome snapped out of the past and back to reality. Inuyasha was dying. It was too much to handle. She clutched his upper arms and hugged him so tightly that his arms turned a shade of red. She closed her eyes and held his face up to hers and kissed him. Tears poured down onto his nose and dripped to the ground. She stopped kissing him and kept saying, "No, you can't die...not now..."

A hand then touched her cheek. Kagome stopped speaking, opened her eyes, and saw Inuyasha's staring warmly at her. His left hand rubbed her cheek. "K-Kagome..." Inuyasha winced at the pain in his chest while he spoke.

"What...?" Kagome asked in a whisper as she looked down at him with glistening eyes. "It looks like we can't f-fulfill our promise to each other..." Inuyasha breathed heavily. "What are you talking about? Of course we can-" Kagome's weak voice was cut off by Inuyasha shaking his head slowly. "I'm sorry I couldn't live with you forever..." Inuyasha looked up to the gray sky and then his eyes closed. His hand fell from Kagome's cheek.

It was over. Inuyasha was dead. He was REALLY dead.

Kagome clasped handfuls of his kimono and wildly sobbed into it. How could this have happened? She had only been engaged to Inuyasha for a little more than a week. 'He's really dead...and you have only been together for 4 years. Inuyasha had proved in those 4 years that he couldn't die. No matter how many demons flew through his insides, no matter how many times he was stabbed, not even the time he was struck by his own attack, the Windscar, he still lived. It had seemed that he was immortal.

'But now that person is gone. Your "immortal" hanyou is dead. The one, who had survived and won every fight thrown at him, is gone from the world. Forever. Never to return to life.' Kagome cried even harder at these thoughts. She wanted to tear them from her brain and beat them to a pulp.

Sango, Miroku, and Shippou came up behind her and hugged her. Kagome set Inuyasha on her lap and hugged them back. Sango rubbed Kagome's head and kissed her cheek.

"You're gonna be okay, Kagome-chan..." Sango had tried to assured her, but it came out unconvincingly. Miroku leaned over Inuyasha's body and prayed for him. "Please rest in peace, my good friend." Miroku gulped strongly, trying to fight off tears. Shippou hugged Kagome's waist and cried. Inuyasha was kind of like Shippou's older brother. The whole Yasha gang was like his family.

Kagome beckoned Kirara to come to her. Kirara became her giant neko-youkai form and flew over to Kagome. Kagome picked Inuyasha up and placed him onto Kirara's back. Kagome climbed up onto Kirara's back and propped Inuyasha up against her stomach. His body was growing cold.

"Kagome-sama, where are you going?" Miroku asked.

"The burial," Kagome said with tear-filled eyes. And she flew off into the darkness with her dead lover.

Inuyashasitboy20: Boohoo!! So sad!! I don't know why I wanted to actually write a fan fic that made Inuyasha die in the FIRST chapter!! Stay tuned for Chapter 2!!
