A/N: I came up with this One-shot while playing Stepmania. I'm not a kagome hater or whatever. Please read and review. Keep a look out for updates on my other fanfic called "Where's the Love" (A Sesshoumaru/Kagome Fanfic)
"Inuyasha, I love you and I'll always be by your side." That would have been the last time Inuyasha would hear from Kagome.
It all happened at once that he didn't know how to react. When Kagome had gone to her era to get supplies and spend time with her family. Inuyasha and the rest of her friends told her to go and come back in one piece.
"Don't worry you guys I'll be back in a couple of days and I'll bring enough treats for everybody." Kagome had replied, "Inuyasha your coming with me right?"
"Sure Kagome, I'll be right back you guys."
"Ok, take care Kagome!" shouted both Miroku and Sango.
"Bye Kagome!!!'' yelled Shippou
By the time Inuyasha and Kagome arrived at the bone eaters well, Inuyasha was staring at Kagome for a long time.
"Inuyasha? What's wrong? C'mon now its not the end of the world, you know. I'm coming back." said Kagome breaking the silence.
"I know, I know is just….I'm worried on what's going to happen with us when we get separated as soon as the Shikon jewel is put together." replied Inuyasha
"Don't think that way, Inuyasha, you already know that I'm not going anywhere…I don' know what's going to happen once we defeat Naraku and the Shikon Jewel is whole….but I do know is that no matter what happens, we'll be together always." said Kagome
"But Kagome you just can pick both times….."
"Inuyasha, I love you and I'll always be by your side." she interrupted. "Got it? Good, pick me up in 4 days and I'll be ready to come back, ok?"
"Yeah" Kagome was about to jump off into the well but she stopped once she heard Inuyasha say
"I love you too, Kagome. I always will love you."
Kagome smiled and she jumped into the well to see her present family. No one knew that she will never come back…never.
Four days had passed and as told to Inuyasha went into the well and arrived in Kagome's time. He knocked on the door. answered it and when she did Inuyasha saw that her face was red and her were puffy…Inuyasha smelled the tears that Kagome's mom was releasing. Inuyasha thought that something tragic had happened and he prayed that it didn't involve Kagome.
"Hey, what's wrong? Where's Kagome?" asked Inuyasha
just led Inuyasha to the living room. She didn't even talk or do anything but she gestured to tell Inuyasha to sit on the couch. Finally she spoke,
"Inuyasha…I'm sorry…but (Whiff) Kagome…isn't coming back to the feudal era."
"WHAT?" gasped Inuyasha, "what do you mean not coming back?"
"Listen to the news I recorded just 3 nights ago, I don't want to talk (whiff) about it."
She turned on the television to a news program that was playing through the VCR. Inuyasha listened carefully to what the new rancher was reporting.
"Tragedy has stricken Tokyo once again. The most wanted murder had struck again in Tokyo, taking another victim's life. It happened around 8 p.m when a girl who was to believe be at least 15 years old, was walking towards her home from the supermarket. Until all of a sudden the murderer by the name of Akito Niwa, cam from behind and stabbed her through her back. The victim's name was Kagome Higurashi, she was pronounced dead a couple of hours later. Akito Niwa has already murdered more than thirty people, 17 men and 13 women, officials had caught the murderer as soon as he had killed, Ms. Higurashi. He was pointing a weapon the police. The officials had no choice but to shoot the man to his death…"
Inuyasha didn't hear the rest; all he did was leave the house and go back to the feudal era.
When he had told the group the news he had heard, everyone burst into tears. Sango was crying like there was no tomorrow and Shippou was yelling, "Why?" while he was crying. Miroku, he was upset but Inuyasha only saw a couple of tears.
"Inuyasha, what are we going to do now?" Miroku asked.
"I don't know, Miroku, but we'll come up with something." replied Inuyasha, with that he left and jumped in the bone eater's well once again. Once he got there he immediately went and asked Kagome's mother to where Kagome was buried. Once he knew he ran towards the location, it didn't take him long to find Kagome's grave. Engraved on her tomb was:
R.I.P
Kagome Higurashi
1991-2007
Loving Daughter, Granddaughter, Sister and friend to many
Inuyasha at this point was in tears. He was mad that he didn't protect her like he promised, he was mad at himself for not being there when she was needed. He took out the little bottle with at least 40 shards of the Shikon Jewel, he dug a little hole, deep enough to place the shards in Kagome's grave, He did it knowing that Naraku will never get them and as soon he and the rest of the gang had gathered the rest, he would come back and put it in Kagome's grave. So that nobody will get them.
"Kagome…I'm sorry…that I wasn't there to protect you, please forgive me. I Love you! And I'll miss you." with that Inuyasha looked at her tombstone once more and headed back to his era. It will take a while before him…everybody would recover from Kagome's death. But he knew that he had Kagome in his heart and everybody's hearts. That she's there for everyone and she wasn't entirely gone. For now he must have the courage to move on and continue fighting Naraku and complete the Jewel.
