Alright. I know I've severely neglected to update on my other stories. I'll do it eventually. i'm still writing some chapters. it just seemed very stupid and i really wanted to just Delete My Only One. I change ssomethings and will see what happens. I was bored in a computer lab, trying to do a science fair project. this is what I got out of the boredom. i'm already writing chapter one. So i'll update probably before school starts. Don't hold me to that tho...

~Prologue~

I walk alone on the path ahead of me. Images flash before my eyes. Images of the dead. Images of them smiling. I saw the good times. I saw the bad times. They just wouldn't leave me alone. They kept haunting me. This pain won't go away. I see him. He's looking back at me. His eyes are asking me 'why didn't you save me?'

Why didn't I? I had the power to. I could have saved everyone. But I didn't. I chose not to. Now, my friends are gone. Everyone is gone. Inuyasha is gone!

My vision went black. Everything dissapeared into nothingness. A new scene began to playout.

The battle with Naraku was devastating. We almost gave up hope of defeating him. With the complete jewel of four souls, he was nearly impossibble to defeat. His power rivaled that of Sesshomaru's. He was brought to his knees at one point. I couldn't stand to see that. We all couldn't stand to see that. I thought he was the most powerful demon in all of Japan. to see the mighthy lord brought to his knees.

Inuyasha was down for trhe count halfway through the battle. the irony of it was that the arm opposite of Sesshomaru's was cut off. Naraku picked us off one by one. Miroku suffered a blow to his wind-tunnel, causing it to spread and ultimately sucking him in. Kohaku battled with Sango, landing the killing blow to her head. kilala was surrounded by a horde of demons.

I just stood there as all of this was going down. I was told to wait for a signal. 'Don't move' they all said. i was the key to the end of this. I was supposed to kill Naraku before anyone suffered fatal injuries. Did I listen, not really. I broke away from my hiding place to go to Inuyasha. I couldn't save Sango of Miroku, but I had to save someone. In the middle of healing him, Naraku broke away from his fight with Sesshomaru. He came after me. A tentacle shot out, heading straight for my chest. I hastely put uop a barrier, just seconds before being impaled.

Inuyasha began to stand and get into a battle stance. he wasn't backing down. Fatigue began to take over and his demon was coming out. this wasn't a good idea. If that happened, he may have been lost forever. His remaining arm gripped tetsuiaga so hard, his fingers turned white.

"Kagome, you remember the orignal plan?" his voice was rough. He was still in pain.

"Yeah," we combine our attacks together.

Sesshomaru came back. Naraku was distracted long enough for Inuyasha and me to form a plan. Be would use my arrow and his backlash wave.

"Break it," he whispered.

The barrier came down as my arrow flew towards the target. I trained everyday for this moment. the moment Naraku dies and the Jewel of Four Souls is in my hands again. Inuyasha's attack came afterwards, along with Sesshomaru's Dragon Strike. Naraku was barely fazed. The jewel had increased his powers more than we originally thought.

We continued the attacks one after another. I was growing more tired by the minute. I was using a lot of my priestess powers. Inuyasha looked like he wanted to pass out any minute now. Sesshomaru looked the same. The only thing that gave him away about his fatigue was his eyes. They were the only doorway to him.

I was in pain. Something had struck my side. It was excruciating. The pain was blocking my vision. It was physical and mental. The reality that my friends were dead drew me in deeper. I wanted to give up. I wanted to fight. I wanted to save everyone….

But I didn't. I didn't save anyone.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha combined another attack and struck Naraku head on while I struck from behind. I aimed for the jewel. Before I was unable to get it. Now I had a clear shot. I gathered up my last two arrows. This was my only chance. If I didn't hit the mark, all would be hopeless.

I took aim, getting ready to fire when Sesshomaru cried out.

"Naraku! You filth!" he roared. My attention went to him. I saw him and him alone. Where was Inuyasha?

I scanned the area and found him. I looked upon his body on the ground. Tears came to my eyes. He was there, gasping for air. A gaping hole was in his chest. He was bleeding out. The blow had struck a major artery. I turned back towards Naraku who was too busy with Sesshomaru to notice me.

I screamed. My adrenaline was rushing through my body. I put my all in my aim. "Hit the mark," I whispered.

"Die Naraku!" I shrieked at the top of my lungs.

Everything played out in slow motion from there on. I saw the arrow strike his heart. A glow began to spread from the point. Sesshomaru attacked one last time. With his attack and mine combined we were able to bring him down. Naraku was engulfed in a blinding light. I remembered this. This happened the last time I broke the jewel. In a matter of seconds the jewel would break.

Beams of light shot out. Shards of the just completed jewel were shooting off in different directions. Agonizing screaming was coming from where Naraku was supposed to be. I looked into the light. My eyes stung from the brightness. This nightmare was coming to an end.

His form began to disincarnate. I smiled. We had won. After four years we were going to win. His terror would never trouble these lands again. After Naraku had disappeared I ran towards Inuyasha's fallen form. He was in pain. Sweat covered his face. He was pale. He was dying.

I lifted his head, sobbing over his body. I stroked his head. Sesshomaru joined me shortly after. He looked down at his fallen brother. The two had made progress in their fragile relationship with one another. They could be civil at most times now.

I stared into Inuyasha's eyes. The light was slowly fading from them. I hugged his head. The pain was all consuming. My heart was shattering in my chest. Every precious second with him was speeding faster away from me.

I stroked his hair. I wanted to save him. I really did. I hesitated. Could I? I could heal, but could I bring back his life? I thought I could. I stared into his eyes. He saw the struggle. A smile grew on his face.

"I understand. I'll miss you Kagome."

He shut his eyes after that.

Everything was quiet. There were no birds or wind to break the silence. The only think I could hear was my own heart beat and sobs. I squeezed Inuyasha even tighter. He drew his last breath. I continued to hold him.

"No. No. This isn't happening. I'll wake up from this. Inuyasha! Please don't leave me. You're all that I have to connect me to this world! Please don't go!" I screamed.

Still holding onto him, a hand reached down and grasped my left shoulder. I didn't respond. The hand squeezed tighter. I looked up to see Sesshomaru staring at his dead brother. Several emotions played through his eyes. Was it a sign of comfort? I held his hand with one of my own.

I woke up gasping for air covered in sweat.

I have no clue when I'll update. Please review and tell me what you think about it. It was a spur of the moment thing. I was severely bored.
