Tears streamed down Kagome's cheeks as she clutched at Inuyasha's lifeless body. Blood was everywhere, whether it was hers or Inuyasha's was no longer discernable. Her lips moved but she was no longer able to voice her pain. Pain, unbearable pain, she reached for her quiver of arrows, but it was just out of her reach and she was unwilling to release Inuyasha's corpse.
A heavy boot came down on her outstretched hand and she felt her hand being crushed but no sound escaped her lips. She heard a deep menacing laugh. A clawed hand reached toward her and...
A clawed hand reached toward her and...
Kagome awoke with a start, Inuyasha was crouched over her and everyone was awake staring at her. She tried to talk but her voice was hoarse. She turned a deep red as she realized she must have been crying in her sleep. Inuyasha plopped down with a satisfied smirk twisting his lips. "w-what?" Kagome stammered, surprised that her voice was just as pained as in the dream... a dream? But it had seemed so real to her, Inuyasha had died and she had... oh god, she had screamed his name, over and over. 'oh great, so that's why Inuyasha has that smug look on his face.' Kagome thought.
"What horrible monster was I supposed to save you from this time?" Inuyasha leaned forward. Kagome glared at him but couldn't remain angry. It had been so real. What were they doing? One mistake on this journey could cost any of them their lives.
Kagome collapsed into Inuyasha's arms and sobbed uncontrollably. She didn't want any of them to die. 'Especially Inuyasha' she thought, then she stopped. This time she didn't berate herself for having such feelings. What if Inuyasha died? Would she be able to live with herself having never told him? No, she wouldn't, but there was still Kikyou. As long as Inuyasha still cared for her, even a little, Kagome's open confession would be just another burden on his mind. She stopped crying and withdrew herself from Inuyasha. He still wore a shocked expression and seemed about to stop her. Tears still running from her cheeks she silently rose and walked away, toward the bone gobbling well.
