Gone. They're all gone. Shippo with his trickster ways. Sango with her sisterly affection. Miroku with his wandering hands. And Inuyasha? Have you left me too? I can't find anyone. Momma? Souta? Grandpa? Why is it so dark? I'm scared. Is Naraku dead? Yes. I remember that now. I killed him. The battle, so much blood. My fiends, they were dying. Their screams. I can't I can't. Make it stop. I have to stop it. Now I'm all alone. Why? Why did you leave me alone?
"We are all gathered here to mourn our loss. A great friend was lost to us this day. But she was more then that. She was a mother to the youngest of us, and a sister to the rest of us. We all loved her and she returned the favor tenfold. Some of us even loved her as more then a friend. But now, thanks to her sacrifice, we are all alive but deprived of her. Kagome if you can hear us we miss you terribly and can only console ourselves with the knowledge that you are in a better place. Goodbye little sister hopefully we will meet again someday." A murmer of amen was heard around the clearing. Slowly all the villagers started their journeys back to their separate lives. All but one lone figure standing vigil by his beloveds side. "Inuyasha we'll be in the village with Kaede if you need us. Ok?" Sango's only reply was a slight nod. Now alone with his grief Inuyasha could let the tears come. "Kagome how could you leave me all alone?" soon the clearing was deprived of even this company. Except for a lone statue so lifelike it could have been made from a real girl. Ironic that she should be her own headstome. Such is the price of a wish.
