"INU YASHA!" her black hair flew in the wind as she ran towards her fallen comrade. Tears that she thought couldn't be shed, steamed down her fairsh complexion. Kneeling at his side, she knew the worst was here.
"Ka...Kagome." golden, amber eyes watched her with joy and sorrow, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, thanks to you once again. Can you feel anything?" Kagomes' light-heartedness was of no use now. Her cheerful voice and smile was enough to make anything better, except this.
"Good. N..nno. I can't feel anything. I'm not going to be alright. Not th..this time." his breathing was staggered and heavy. His words become slurred at times and he stuttered every so often.
Inu Yasha had so much to tell Kagome. He wanted to be with her and only her for the rest of his life, he wanted to be her "boyfriend", as she called it, have a family with her, and be happy. But, most importantly, he despirately wanted to tell Kagome that he loved HER, not Kikyo. Now, would never have that chance.
"Dont talk like that! Your going to be alright! I promise! I'll take you back to my time and take you to a hospital. They'll make you better!" tears poured down Kagomes face. She felt a clawed hand gently touch the side of her face.
"Stop that Kagome! You kn..know I hate it when you cry. Th..there's no reason for tears." Inu Yashas' words and eyes were so gentle. Life was draining for him and his breath became more shallow by the minute. He didnt want to be alone again, not again. He wouldn't be able to take that. Looking up at Kagome, he wiped away her tears and took her hand. "Please.....stay with me." he begged.
"I can't. I couldn't. Even if I tried."
Kagome watched Inu Yasha intently. The cute puppy dog ears that she loved so much were down. The hanyou that she knew for so long, her hanyou, was dying. He was soaked in his own blood and his body was broken. Cuts, gashes, scars, broken bones; his once silvery hair was dyed partly red because of the blood. The only thing that remained of his clothes were bits of a white undershit (now stained with blood) and his ripped up pants. Even if Kagome COULD get him to her time, there's be no way he'd survive the night. Demonic blood was mixed up in his own and had seeped through his wounds. The odds of the demonic blood of their long time enemy matching that of InuYashas were next to nothing. That alone singled his death, besides his dramatic blood loss. Doctors would have no way of saving him, all the mediciene in the world couldnt fix the damage.
For the past 3 years, since she was 15, Kagome had spent almost everyday of her life in the Feudal Age. She dropped out of school, gave up seeing her present-day family, gave up her adolesant years, her present-day friends, everything one could think of. All was given up for the dangerous and exciting land of Feudal Japan. Over the years she'd grown quite attached to her arogant half breed and had even fallen in love with him.
"Kagome..." InuYasha tried to sit up but couldnt. Now was the time for the truth to be unvailed, now was the time for Kagome to knwo that he loved her more than he could ever love Kikyo. She had to know before it was too late. Even if she didnt feel the same, it didn't matter, he'd be dead soon enough.
"Nani?" tears began to fall again.
He seemed to be in so much pain. Kagome would've given anything at that moment for Inu Yasha to be alright again. She ripped a piece off her school uniforms shirt and began to dab the sweat and blood from his face. She decided to go and get some water from a nearby river.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to get you some water. Please don't go."
"Hurry."
With that, Kagome found something to hold water, ran off and came back. Kagome propped InuYasha up on her lap and handed him the water. He gulped down almost all of it, and Kagome used some to wash off his wounds.
"Kagome.. I need to te..tell you something."
"Shh.. you need to save your strength." Kagome put a finger to his lips to silence him.
"Gomen nasai, Kagome-sama." InuYasha turned his head away, still propped up on Kagome's lap.
"For what? You haven't done anything!" She smiled, "And didn't I tell you to save your strength? Do you want to die quicker?" that last part was angry. "Wait, he just apologized! The stubborn dog apologized!"
"For calling you names, almost killing you, making you leave school, taking you from you fam-" he was silenced by Kagomes hand.
"I left my present-day famile out of my own free will, thank you very much! Sango, Shippou, Kaede, Miroku, were all my real family and you ARE part of my REAL family. Family isn't just blood, it's the people you care about! I," she gasped, "no.." she whispered.
Once more, another tear rolled down her face as she slowly moved away her make shift rag. Revealing 2 fang marks left by Naraku's poisonous, spider bite on InuYasha's neck. This meant that the poison would take its effect soon if it hadn't already.
"What a horrible way to die. So slow and painful." Kagome thought to herself, lifting the hanyou up to her and cradeling him like baby or a young child. A few seconds went by until InuYasha began to gasp for air and cough blood.
"Kagome..." he smiled and gasped her name. Tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear so he could get one last look at her face.
"I guess she'll never know. It's too late now. I wish I could've changed things Kagome but I can't. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I wihs I could've told you the truth. Please.." InuYasha's thoughts raced. Too late now to tell her now. He had failed.
"Inu...Yasha...please..mate..." she couldn't bring herself to cry anymore. She was out of tears.
" K-Ka-go-mmee..." the hanyou, half breed's voice trailed off as he exhaled his last breath. He closed his amber eyes for the last time and his body relaxed.
"INU YAAASHAAA!" Kagome screamed and hugged him tight.
