I don't own Inu Yasha.

"Inu Yasha!"
Kagome aimed her arrow for that black hair. She released the arrow and it shot faster than any other had.
' Hit the mark.'
It seemed to have more power than any other too. She watched as it hit Naraku in the side of his head. But this time, it was no puppet. The blood poured out of his head and he looked in anger at the priestess. He had been so close to killing Inu Yasha, he was about to unleash his full power, but she had saved the stupid half- breed. Inu Yasha watched as Naraku finally fell. He drew his last breath and lay limp.
"Don't rejoice yet."
Inu Yasha could feel the winds change and those words whispered in his keen ears. He looked around him and suddenly saw Kagura wave her fan behind Kagome.
"NOOOO!"
He ran towards the unsuspecting girl and watched as her eyes suddenly widened. Their eyes met and even as she fell forward, she never took them off of him. Her blood spilled all over the grass and her body lay still. Kagura had already escaped. Inu Yasha ran to Kagome. She was almost completely shred apart.
The half- demon's body began to break down. Miroku ran over to them to rejoice that his void had disappeared and Sango was happy to slay her enemies. They saw that Inu Yasha was bent over someone and knew that they should keep their distance.
"Is it Kikyo?" Sango cried out to him. She couldn't keep in her curiosity. She watched in anguish as Inu Yasha bent over the body and began to hold it. The two ran over to see what it was. Miroku gasped and Sango buried her head in his chest. Miroku looked down at the poor girl.
"Come, Inu Yasha. We will give her a proper burial at the village. But we need to leave this cursed place."
Inu Yasha didn't move. Tears rolled down his cheeks and trickled onto Kagome's untouched lips. Inside of him he felt his heart breaking. He hadn't even felt this when Kikyo had died, or left him. He pushed his face into her neck and soaked in the last of her warmth. Her beautiful aroma was over powered by the stench of blood. He didn't want to let go of her. He didn't want to move her broken body.
Sango released Miroku and hugged Inu Yasha. He could hardly feel her. He couldn't feel anything. No anger or sadness or hatred. He could only feel his heart being squished until he could hardly breath. His throat tightened and he just looked at her face. No harm had been done to it; only her body was mutilated.
Mrs. Higurashi sat speechless underneath the sacred tree. Inu Yasha compassionately wrapped his arm around her. She had decided that she should be buried in the feudal era. That was the place that Kagome loved and it would keep drama away from the family. Inu Yasha pulled Kagome's sacred shards out of his sleeve.
"I know that you want to say goodbye. The same for Sota and your father."
He walked away from the distressed mother. He felt terrible and he knew that his guilt would haunt him forever.
Sango looked at Kagome's bag sorrowfully. No one had even thought of touching it. She still couldn't believe that all this had happened. Kagome was their angel and she brought joy to their lives every morning. Miroku and her still didn't know what had happened, but they knew that Inu Yasha was still in a lot of shock.
"I told her mom. She didn't take it well. But it was a relief that she didn't blame me. I told her what happened and she understood. She will probably be crossing over soon."
"Inu Yasha, you still haven't told us what happened. You don't have to, but we could comfort you more if we knew what you were going through."
"Nothing could comfort me. But I guess I should have told you. Naraku was about to kill me, but she saved me just in time. She killed him and as we watched him die, Kagura crept up and killed her. It's not fair. She was unsuspecting and unprepared. I just remember her eyes. Even as she fell, they grabbed on to me. I tried to save her, but it was too fast."
Miroku and Sango could hear Inu Yasha's voice waver. They watched solemnly as he started out the door. At the same time they saw Kikyo's soul collectors. They knew that Inu Yasha could resist at this stage, but they couldn't understand why she had come.
"Inu Yasha, where is the girl? I must see her. Is she not dead?"
"Kikyo, she is. Please leave. I can't deal with anything right now."
A flame filled her eye and she grabbed Inu Yasha with inhuman strength. He saw that a knife was at his throat and her face was more serious than usual.
"Inu Yasha, don't play games with me! She took my soul! I want it back. Bring me to her body NOW!!!
Inu Yasha, without even thinking, lashed out at the dead woman. Blood began to seep out of her shoulder and he realized that this is how he had killed her before. She felt a strong stinging and cringed, as her remaining soul broke free of her imprisoning body. The two watched in horror as it began to fly towards Kagome's dead body.
"That's my soul. You ungrateful witch!"
Kikyo hysterically ran after the blue light. She placed her hand on Kagome's body to retrieve her soul, but nothing happened. Inu Yasha stared down at her with disgust.
"She has reincarnated already. She really stays on top of things."
Kikyo began to walk away. She suddenly crashed to the floor and her remaining souls escaped her. Inu Yasha looked at her numbly.
' She was never alive. She was dead.'
He looked at Kagome one more time and walked away silently.
' Please come back.'
