You're always there ~Prologue~
A screech pierced the nighttime sky. It echoed through the trees and the mountains, as the great evil was speared with an arrow. Naraku stared in horror as his body was destroyed. His tentacles collapsed and withered away in the wind, turning to mere dust.
He glared back at the tear-stricken miko, her bow poised to strike once more.
"You bitch!" He cried out. "You cannot defeat me!"
Kagome pulled the bow back tighter as her throat tightened. She felt the world on her shoulders. This was her last arrow. Her body ached and cried out in pain, but her chocolate eyes stayed firm on her target-the head of Naraku.
"Naraku! This is for everyone whose lives you destroyed! This is for Sango. This is for Miroku. This is for Shippo. This is for Kikyo-"
Kagome bit her lip as more tears fell from her eyes.
"And Naraku! This is for INUYASHA!" Kagome released her arrow. It zipped from the bow and flung itself toward his head.
Kagome's powers surrounded the tip of the arrow as her miko power was finally unleashed.
The purple light encased Naraku, droning out his petrified screams. Everyone shielded their eyes from the bright explosion that burst out from the spot where her arrow hit.
'Finally it is done. Inuyasha, we did it.'
When the light faded, there was nothing left on the great spider half demon. He was finally defeated.
Kagome dropped her bow as she slumped to her knees. It was finally over. No more pain. No more suffering.
"We did it!" Kagome turned and saw Miroku crushed into Sango's embrace. He continued to stare dumbfounded at his empty palm, where his wind tunnel had once been.
Shippo jumped from atop Kirara's back as they landed from the sky.
"Is he dead?" Shippo asked cautiously. Kagome nodded silently at him. A large smile broke out as he hurdled himself at her.
"WE DID IT KAGOME! NARAKU'S DEAD! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! NO MORE HUNTING FOR JEWEL SHARDS!"
Kagome gasped suddenly as she jerked to her feet, dropping Shippo in the process.
'The jewel'
Kagome scanned the horizon, searching every inch of the battlefield. Her body stiffened as her feet began moving. She could see the faint glow of the jewel. She ran forward, her body screaming in protest. Her feet pounded on the hard ground as she maneuvered around fallen trees, boulders and other debris. Her heart throbbed within her chest as she neared the black jewel.
Her body jerked to a stop when she saw it. Her body tensed as her eyes burned. She felt the constricting pain in her chest as a sob threatened to tear loose.
'No'
Kagome took a step forward before she bent down. Her hand reached out and grasped the jewel firmly in her hand, instantly purifying it. The once black jewel now sparkled a bright white.
Kagome absentmindedly strung the jewel around her neck once more, but her mind was focused elsewhere. Her chocolate gaze lingered on the burn red in front of her. She stood silently and stumbled over to it.
Kneeling onto the hard floor, Kagome grasped the frayed sleeve. A stifled sob tore at her throat as she dragged the all-too-familiar fabric to her chest. She buried her nose into it and inhaled a deep breath.
'Inuyasha…I'm so sorry'
Her heart jerked in her chest as she threw her head back and let out a heartbroken wail.
"Kagome!" She heard Sango call out, but she couldn't breathe. She couldn't breathe.
"INUYASHA!"
Sango ran towards her distressed friend. She heard the pained cry and her heart skipped a beat, but she didn't stop. If anything, she ran faster.
Kagome was hunched over, when Sango got to her. She could hear Miroku and Kirara's footsteps behind her. Kagome shook with sobs as she curled herself into a ball.
Sango knelt down next to her best friend-her sister.
"Kagome. What's wrong?" She placed her arms around the girl, noticing how the girl jerked under her touch.
"He's…he's-"Kagome broke off with another wail, thrusting herself into Sango's arms.
"Sango?" She twisted around to see Miroku standing there with a grim expression. He was holding something in his hands. Sango's eyes traveled down as she bit back her own tears.
"Inuyasha. He's-"She stopped herself, not daring to finish the horrifying thought. Tears burned her eyes as Miroku slowly nodded.
"Gone."
