Love Is Like Bullets. They kill.
I watched with tear filled eyes as my beloved InuYasha was lowered into the wet earth that would claim his body and take him away from me forever. I had been the one that put my beloved in the ground. He had turned rogue. He had been broken. And I was the one that had broke him. I had sent him to his muddy grave.
I watched the black coffin lower into the ground by people from my time. I had chose to bury him near my home, so we would be close to each other until the day I died. I couldn't go back to the feudal era anyway. He was my last chance to ever see it again. And now he was gone.
I felt more hot tears streak down my cheeks as I thought of his happy nature and his beautiful eyes. I clenched the gun that was in its holster that hung from my shoulder. I wanted to kill. I wanted to kill the people that made InuYasha die the way he did. I may have broken him, but they were the ones that truly weakened him.
I looked at the woman that didn't even know my beloved sob continuously with fake tears on her cheeks. Her tears mixed with the rain drops that poured from the sky. The sky had even broken up to mourn for InuYasha. And here I thought that I was the only one that would actually more his death.
We had lived together for five years. We had lived happily until the world found out about InuYasha and our blessed child, Kaiya. She had been our pride and joy until the government took her away and killed her during their absolutely cruel treatments and tests that eventually killed her father.
I looked away from the sobbing woman to the small grave stone next to the newly dug one that held my beloved captive. I read my little girl's name and fell to my knees in the slosh that soaked through my jeans. I sobbed and let my hand drop from my gun. I grabbed two handfuls of mud and clenched the mess in my fists as I cried out my dead daughters name over and over again.
I felt hands on my back as people I didn't even know try to sooth me. "Don't touch me," I sobbed and swatted at the hands that patted my back as if I was a hurting child and not a woman with enough pain to kill an elephant.
I gasped as two strong hands lifted me from the ground and put me on my feet. My skipped as the thought of my beloved coming back to life, but my hoped was smothered as I turned to face my long forgotten friend, Hojo. I pulled me against him and held me against his firm chest.
I reached under my arm and pulled out my gun. InuYasha's face flashed in my mind's eye as I squeezed the trigger. Hojo stumbled back and stared at me in bewilderment. I raised the gun and grasped it with both hands. I stared at his stomach and felt my chest heave as I say blood soak his already drenched shirt.
I sobbed and dropped the gun. I put my hands over my mouth and stared at Hojo with fear and shame as I realized what I had done. I had shot the only other person that had loved me with as much love as InuYasha had.
"Kaagome?" he mumbled as he stepped towards me, putting a hand against the bullet wound I had made.
"No!" I screamed and reached out and put my hand over his, "I didn't mean to," I gasped through my violent sobs.
"Shh…I know you didn't," Hojo muttered as he pulled me against him with my hand still over his wound.
"Don't leave me," I muttered as my mind flashed of InuYasha and Kaiya right before they died.
"I won't," he muttered as I felt something push into my stomach, "there's only one way to end your pain, my dear Kagome. Remember that I'll always love you. Now and forever."
I heard a gun go off and my sobs suddenly stopped. I took a step back and stared into Hojo's eyes. I heard something THUNK behind me and I smelt something familiar even through the heavy rain. I looked down and spotted the thing that had fired.
I looked back up into Hojo's eyes and felt the bullet enter my body before I heard the noise. I took another step back and felt my heel teeter-totter on the mushy edge of my beloved's grave. I took a step to the side and walked around the grave. I looked back and saw that I was now standing at the foot of InuYasha's grave.
I looked closer and saw that the coffins lid was open and I could see InuYasha's pale face. "InuYasha?" I asked with trembling lips.
I turned and stared at Hojo who was standing in front of me with the gun still in hand. "I would have never done this if I hadn't of known," he said with tears in his eyes.
I took a step back as I saw the gun raise an inch or two. I gasped s I fell back into the grave. Hojo reached out to try and catch me, put my hands were over the two bullet wounds in my stomach. I fell into the coffin with a light THUMP against the soft flesh of InuYasha's body.
I stared up at Hojo and felt my eyes widened as the pain in my stomach increased. I cried out as I felt something touch my arm. I looked over and sobbed as I stared into InuYasha's eyes that had been closed for eternity. He had confusion in his gorgeous amber eyes.
"InuYasha," I mumbled and smiled as my heavy eyelids slowly closed.
"Kagome," InuYasha's calm voice floated through my head as the darkness overtook me.
