The Thoughts of a Dying Miko

"Kagome! Kagome!"

She heard him calling, and tried to answer. Her mouth opened, but nothing came out. She knew she didn't have much time left, and she badly wanted to see him again. Just one more time. Then she could die. But not yet.

"Kagome! Where are you!?"

This call was closer. He would find her soon. She wished he would hurry so she could die. The pain was intensifying as each second passed. It was getting harder and harder for her to draw breath.

"Kagome! Please answer me!"

He was nearly there, and she was glad. She urged her tired and broken body to last just a few more minutes so she could lay eyes upon his gorgeous face once more.

"Kagome! There you are! We've been so worr-. What happened?"

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha. You're gonna.have to find yourself.another jewel detector," she whispered as she managed a weak smile. She was ready for death to claim her now.

"Kagome, I don't care about that stupid jewel anymore. I care about getting you back to the village so Kaede can help you. Lets go!"

"No. You and I both know that.I won't make it halfway."

"Kagome.. Please don't leave me."

She looked up at the boy sitting over her and saw a solitary tear glide down his cheek. She felt her own eyes watering as she stared up at him, and suddenly, she wasn't ready to die anymore.

"Kagome.I-I.I love you. Don't go."

She was startled by his sudden confession. "Inuyasha, I-ugh!" She was gripped by a sudden wave of pain that stole from her the last remaining shreds of life held together within her battered body. With her last breath she whispered her secret, "I love you too, Inuyasha." She shuddered, and died in her love's arms.

"Kagome!" He held her bloody body to his chest and cried silently 'til he could cry no longer.
