Chapter One:

As the sun started to set Kagome looked out over the water. She always knew that this day would come. The day when Inuyasha realized that he could be with Kikyo and find the shards. The day he finally told the world that he only pains on dying. Kagome couldn't bring herself to say aloud what she had always thought. "I want you to know I want you to live. I want to laugh. I want you to be happy Inuyasha"
How could she tell him that? He looked happy to her. Isn't that what she wanted in this world, for him to be happy. Yes, she did, but she also wanted him to live till he was old. Maybe even with her. What was she thinking? She knew that she could never be with him forever. They would either die trying to take out Naraku or they would gather all the Shikon shards. Either way it would end. She would no longer come back to this place. As Kagome kept looking over the water a small voice started to yell at her. "Kagome! Kagome! Please answer me. Are you okay?" "What? Oh Shippo where did you come from?" Kagome said looking down at her little fox demon friend." I came looking for you. I mean after all that happened I was afraid you would have gone back home." Shippo said with a sad look in his face. Kagome looked at her little friend how would he a little kid understand what she was feeling. Yet, she felt better having a friend with her right now. "Kagome have you talked to Inuyasha yet?" Shippo asked with large eyes. "No, I'm really not ready to here what he has to say yet. "Kagome said as tears filled her eyes. "We should go its getting dark and you can go back in the morning if you want." Shippo said pulling Kagome's arm. Kagome walked into Kaede's hut to find her other friends Sango and Miroku. They looked up at her with what almost looked like pity. I guess Kagome always knew that her friends pitied her. She was in love with a boy never would love her back and yet she stayed. "Kagome would you like something to eat?" Sango asked getting ready to get up. "No! I am just fine. I don't need your pity!" Kagome said as she ran out of the hut leaving her friends behind stunned. Kagome ran she wanted to run away from all of this but her way out…. the well… no she wasn't ready to run that far. She was running till she ran into something.

Kagome woke up to see Inuyasha standing above her. His golden eyes looking down at her lying on the ground almost like he was looking into her soul. "Kagome are you okay? What were you running from?" Inuyasha asked. "I was just upset. I…..I…."Kagome couldn't tell him. "Kagome will you take a walk with me?" Why is he being so nice was all Kagome would think about but got up and followed her dear, dear friend. They walked till they found themselves at the well the same well that the two of them have always been. "Kagome, I need to tell you something?" Inuyasha's voice got serious and harsh. "You have to leave here! You have to forget about me or die!" Inuyasha was screaming. "No! No Inuyasha. I want to stay here, with you. I want you to live I want……" Kagome never finished as she felt a sharp pain. When she looked down she saw it, an arrow sticking through her chest. "Inuyasha………"
