He was bleeding from so many places. She sobbed as she tried to stop it.
"Please. Please don't go." She ignored her own wounds, they didn't hurt nearly as much as her heart.
"Hold on. Inuyasha! Don't leave me. Don't leave me all alone." She broke down sobbing into his bleeding chest.
"Ka…gome…"
"Please don't go. Don't leave me!" she begged.
"Kagome…."
"Inuyasha!" She took his hand and pressed it against her cheek.
"Don't go." She whispered, tears pouring down her face.
He managed a faint smile.
"I…I'm sorry…Kagome…" He whispered.
"What for? We won! We killed Naraku! You don't have to die! Please…" She whimpered.
"I'm sorry…for…never telling…"
"Don't go, Inuyasha! Please don't go!" she cried.
He winced, but his smile never wavered, "I love you." She sucked in a shocked breath.
"Inuyasha…" she whispered.
"Sssssh." He murmured, closing his eyes. He understood, she didn't love him back and he accepted it.
After all the things he had done to her he couldn't blame her, it was quite a shock when he felt lips on his.
His eyes snapped open. She drew apart from him, "I love you too." She whispered, tears pouring down her cheeks.
He felt himself fading. His eyes were closing and he knew he was leaving.
He grasped Kagome's hand tightly.
"We'll…be together again…won't we?" he whispered in desperation.
She nodded more tears sprang into her eyes, "If you'll wait for me." She smiled, rubbing his hand against her cheek.
"I promise…" he whispered as his last breath left him.
I'll wait forever if I have to.
Kagome smiled as she collapsed next to her love, still holding his hand, her face still holding that smile.
Even centuries afterward, people still spoke about what had happened in that valley where those people died.
Where it was said, on that day, white light flashed across the sky and white feathers were found on and near the two couples as they lay holding each other's hands.
