** I do not own InuYasha! sad but true….
Anyways enjoy this little one shot that ran thought my head!
As InuYasha stood over the left over carcass of the demon bear he just defeated his thoughts went over to the girl who was wincing as she dusted off the dirt from her clothes.
"What the hell happened?" he said more to himself than to her "I take my eyes off of you for a minute and trouble finds you!" he walked over to here to see her sheepish expression.
"Well…you see what happened was, I wanted to wash up so I came to the river and left my bow and arrows..I didn't think I would need them okay!" she said going red in the face from embarrassment at having to be rescued….again.
InuYasha growled in annoyance. She was the biggest jinx he has ever known…if it wasn't for the fact that he loved her so much..He would have dropped her off at her era and save himself a few migraines. Of course he would never admit to himself that he loved her….much less her, but he had always known that he cared about her. It's been a few weeks since Kikyo passed on and a few days since she killed the flower prince. It still bothered him when he heard the demon say that her soul was even more broken than his. He didn't want her to feel broken or sad…he forever wanted to see her smile. To say things have been awkward between them was putting it mildly. He was so uptight and on guard that he growled at everything. He couldn't describe it but ever since the death of Kikyo he's had a horrible feeling that if he didn't watch over Kagome…she too would be taken from him. He couldn't lose her; he didn't think he would ever recover from it.
"You are so useless sometimes Kagome, you know that right?" He said shaking his head at her.
"Ah, come on, it wasn't that bad" she said now walking next to him going back to the camp.
"Not that bad? Kagome that demon was about to rip out your innards if I didn't show up! Thank the Kamis for my superior nose and hearing!"
"Thank you" she said softy making him look at her like she just grew an extra head.
"For what!"
"For worrying about me, that's all" she said then walked ahead of him to sit next to Sango who handed her a grill fish to eat.
InuYasha sputtered for a while then went slightly red in the face before responding "Keh" and walked over and sat down with the rest of his friends.
"Oh come off it InuYasha" said Miroku handing him two grilled fish "We all know that you are very fond of our dear Kagome and you would be very unhappy if she were to get hurt"
"Mind your own business monk" He muttered between bites all the while stealing glances at the raven haired miko who had managed to worm her way into his heart.
Kagome smiled to herself as she tried to get her heart beat under control. That bear demon scared her more than she will ever let on. She knew that InuYasha would come for her, she would never doubt his promise to keep her safe, but it still managed to scare the holy hell out of her. She's noticed that he's been on guard more than usual but she brushed it off as side effects of him losing Kikyo. He was still mourning for her and now it seemed liked he was afraid that she was about to die on him too. She could understand that he felt responsible for her and that she was a close friend to him…he probably didn't want to lose another person in his life. She knew that before they had met, he didn't have family and friends, now he had people who cared for him, it was understandable that he didn't want to lose anyone of them.
Still, it made her heart ache a bit. She loved him completely, the good and the bad things about him. She wanted him to be happy; she wanted to see him at peace for once in his long life. To her it didn't matter that he was half demon, she truly loved both the demon in him and the human part. But more than anything she wanted to be the one who held his heart but knew that Kikyo took it with her when she died.
"Oi!" Kagome shook her head and looked at the half demon in question who was giving her a glare.
"Sorry..I was lost in thought..what were you saying?"
"I was saying that we should be back at the well by tomorrow. How long are you staying over there anyways?" he said grumpily obviously not happy at being ignored.
He would never know how much she loved it that he wanted to keep her here with him and that he would always come and get her when he missed her.
"Ten days" she said noticing that he didn't like that one bit.
"What! Ten days! Why so long!"
"I have an important test InuYasha! I HAVE to be there" she said trying hard to keep her patience with him and remind her self that he didn't get the importance of a high school education.
"Fine" he grumbled "Though I don't see what good all of this education is doing…it's not like they are teaching you how to slay monsters and demons! And why do you need to know how to keep ledgers? When w- you get married it will be your husband's responsibility to provide for you, so there is no need for you learn how to do it" he argued. He couldn't believe that he almost let it slip that he wanted her for a wife and mate.
Kagome frowned at him. Was he just about to say 'When we get married?" she shook her head. That attack must have affected her more than she thought if she's starting to hear things.
"Well…it's complicated" she just opted to say "Besides, my mother won't allow me to just stop going…so ten days it is" she said not wanting to explain that in her time women worked for themselves…he wouldn't get it.
That night Kagome had a nightmare where Naraku had killed InuYasha in a battle. She could clearly hear Naraku's laugher as she stared down at InuYasha's bloody dead body. She had jolted awake so abruptly that she was gasping for air as she trembled from the after math of the dream.
"Kagome! What's wrong?" she looked directly into his golden eyes, they were filled with concern for her right now. She shook her head and she placed a hand on her heart trying to calm the rapid beating.
"Bad dream..don't worry" she said softly smiling at him, but he wasn't buying it. Whatever that nightmare was it had clearly left the young girl started. He went over to sit right next to her.
"I'll be right here Kagome" he muttered slipping his hand into his kosode and closed his eyes, he didn't see her soft smile when she lay back down. Without realizing it she moved her hand and clutched some of the material from his pants and held on to it like a security blanket, only then did she fall back to sleep.
InuYasha looked at her small hand clutching on to the fabric of his pants. When she had jolted up he saw the face of utter terror and felt a stab in his heart. He didn't like seeing her afraid or hurt, he wanted her to remain bright and happy….she was like a constant ray of sunlight in his violent world. Just what was her dream about that caused her look like was on the verge of screaming and crying? Did she dream of Naraku? That was the only thing he could think of.
"Sleep my Kagome, dream only of cheerful things, I will always be right here for you" he whispered to her then stroked a lock of hair before slipping his hands once more in his shirt and closed his eyes keeping guard of not only her body but her dreams as well.

"Naraku this ends now!" InuYasha yelled as he pointed Tetsusaiga at him growling. After he had prevented Miroku from using his wind tunnel and Kagome shot her arrow, Naraku came after her with a vengeance.
InuYasha could see Naraku holding Kagome too close to his body for his liking. The bastard was baiting him, he knew it but seeing the bastard touching what was his was making his demon go crazy.
"Now, now InuYasha, don't be too hasty in your attacks or you'll end up hitting poor little Kagome" said Naraku smirking evilly at him.
"Just finish him off InuYasha" called out Kagome then wince when Naraku dug one of his bone spider legs into her side.
Damn it all the hell! He couldn't get a clear shot at him without harming Kagome in the process. Sesshomaru was ready to strike with his sword and he needed to get her out of harm's way when he did that.
Kagome knew that as long as Naraku had a hold of her, InuYasha wouldn't be able to get a clear shot. Naraku was busy baiting InuYasha that he didn't seem to notice that she had one arrow left in her quiver. She knew there was a good possibility that she wouldn't survive this, but if it meant the end of Naraku then she was left with no other option. He had to be destroyed…for the sake of Sango, Miroku, Shippo and InuYasha. He was the reason that InuYasha lost Kikyo, so she would do this for him. As quietly and duplicitous as she could she managed to pull out the arrow from the bottom of the quiver since there was a small hole on the bottom. She knew where the jewel was and she had a clear shot at it. She closed her eyes then looked over to InuYasha and smiled at him sadly knowing that this would be last time she would ever see him.
InuYasha saw the sad smile on her face and frowned. What was that about? He then noticed the arrow in her hand. A feeling of foreboding and dread entered his very soul and he screamed out.
"NO!"
It was too late.
He watched as she plunged the sacred arrow right into his shoulder blade piercing the stone purifying it in the process.
In a last fit of rage Naraku plunged his bone spider legs into her heart, lung and kidney.
"Kagome!" InuYasha leaped up and sliced the legs away from Kagome and took her away from Naraku just as Sesshomaru delivered the last killing blow. Naraku was purify and destroyed in the very second with a look of shock on his face.
Once back on the ground InuYasha franticly tried to stop the bleeding by tearing pieces of his under kimono shirt. Kagome coughed up blood as she just looked up at him and smiled at him.
"It's okay InuYasha…it doesn't hurt anymore" she whispered her skin was losing her healthy glow.
"Don't talk, save your energy" he said as he picked up and carried her over to Kaede's hut.
"InuYasha! How is she?" asked Sango as she climbed off of Kirara and ran to where he was. She paled when she saw Kagome and put her hand up to her mouth as she tried to choke back a sob.
"She's NOT dead!" He snarled at her as he placed her in the old woman's hut.
"Kaede…make her better! Please…fix it!" he said, his voice sounded desperate and unfamiliar even to him. It seemed like an eternity for InuYash, while Kaede looked at the wounds then she remarked "Her wounds are too great InuYasha…I'm sorry" said Kaede who tried to stop the bleeding but couldn't.
InuYasha shook his head in denial.
"She can't die!" he snarled then picked her Kagome's body and cradled it close to him "I can't lose her" he whispered more to himself than to the others.
Kagome's body became colder and her breathing became labored and shallower. InuYasha cursed Naraku's name over and over in his head as hate for the demon filled every part of his soul.
"Damn that bastard to hell….he did this" he muttered.
"Forgive him InuYasha" whispered Kagome giving him a small smile "I don't hold hate for him, he was a poor twisted soul and I only hope he finds peace in the afterlife…I forgive him"
He didn't understand her. Naraku is the reason why she was bleeding to death and she forgives him?
"I can't forgive him…not for what he had done…to you…to me" he watched as she smiled at him and lifted her hand to touch his lips softy.
"I …love…you..InuYa…." she closed her eyes "…sha" she expelled her last breath. Her hand fell to the ground and remained unmoving.
InuYasha shook his head again in denial and started rocking her body and he buried his nose into her throat.
He couldn't hear her heart beat.
"No…." he whispered, his whole body started to shake from rage and grief "NO!" he yelled as his tears fell from his eyes. Not caring if anyone saw for once.
"Kagome…Kagome!...open your eyes…look at me!" he said as she shook her, he touched her face hoping his touch could somehow bring her back to him "Koibito" he whispered to her.
"InuYasha" whispered Miroku his eyes watering in grief as well "She's gone…."
He let out a horrible howl that came straight from his broken soul. His love, his mate…his Kagome was dead. The death of Kikyo was nothing compared to this all-consuming grief he felt in his chest.
Her last words to him where of love. He should have told her how he felt. He should have told her just how important she was to him, how would he live without her? Her scent was fading and in its place was the smell of death.
"I will join you in the other side" he said looking at her beloved face "I refuse to let you go"
"InuYasha" said Kaede sternly "Suicide will lead you to hell, and I don't think that is where Kagome is, her death was tragic and she will be missed but she would want ye to live"
"Live?" he said then laughed bitterly "For what? She's DEAD! What part of that can't you FUCKING understand? She WAS my life! My whole fucking reason for being in this god forsaking world and now she's gone"
She was so beautiful even pale white and ice cold that he couldn't understand how she could be dead. Death was not supposed to look dazzling; death was supposed to be ugly and cruel.
'I failed you Kagome' he thought as he picked up her body and turned to leave the hut. His friends protested and said something…but if he were being honest, he didn't give a shit anymore. The only thing that mattered to him was the girl that now lay dead in his arms. He ran with her, thinking of all the times that he's done this with her, the many times that she's held on to his back while they crossed the country side, he choked back another sob at the memories.
He didn't stop until he reached the Sacred Tree. He sat with her body in his arms and cried. He felt hollow and empty. She had been his sunshine, his inspiration for being a better person. He wanted her back, he wanted to feel her warm body pressed against his as he ran through the forest, he wanted to hear her laughter, and he wanted her to SIT him! But he knew that she will never come back to him again.
Sesshomaru!
He looked up all of the sudden. His older brother may be able to bring her back to him. He didn't know if he would help but damn it Kagome has saved Rin a few times, the Lord owed her this favor.
He ran until he caught up this half-brother.
"What do you want InuYasha" he said in his stoic voice.
"Bring her back…please Sesshomaru. I have never asked you for anything but this is for her. She didn't deserve this and you know it. Rin is fond of her and Kagome has aided her more than once, you owe her that much a least"
Sesshomaru looked at the dead miko in his brother's arms and realized that he did feel a hint of sadness at her passing. She was a strange human who didn't behave like an animal like most others; she even held a pleasant fragrance that was so out of place among humans of this era. She was one of those rare humans that he deemed worthy of his presence.
"Very well InuYasha" He took the hilt of Tenseiga but noticed that he didn't feel the pulsing of its power. He frowned and unsheathed it. He couldn't see the creatures of the underworld.
"I cannot bring her back little brother" he said looking at InuYasha grief stricken eyes.
"What? Why the hell not?" he didn't want to be told that she couldn't be brought back to him.
"The pall-bearers of the underworld do not surround her" he stated but even he was perplexed by it "It is almost like her soul was no longer within our world"
InuYasha felt like he was kicked in the stomach. His last hope to get her back had just been yanked from him leaving him engulfed by his sorrow and misery once more.
"I appreciate that you at least tired Sesshomaru" muttered InuYasha as he picked up Kagome's body and ran towards the sacred tree again.

Kagome was walking through a field of green grass, heather and wild flowers. The sky was a bright blue that seemed to go on forever, the wind held a crisp clean scent and she could hear the wonderful sounds of bells.
The last thing she remembered was looking at InuYasha's eyes and telling him that she loved him.
'Oh' she looked around and smiled sadly 'I'm dead'. She prayed that her mother wouldn't be sad for too long and that Souta would remember her fondly.
InuYasha
She regretted leaving him like she did.
"Kagome?"
She looked over to see Kikyo walking towards her with a little heard of children. I could see that she was at peace and happy.
"Kikyo…I'm so happy to see you here" she really did mean it, she was so happy that her soul didn't end up in hell.
"What happened?" asked Kikyo frowning as she walked over to where Kagome was "How did you die?"
"Naraku killed me, but I managed to purify him in the end…it's over"
"What about InuYasha?"
Kagome bit her lip and looked down "He's alive and well"
Kikyo's eyes glisten with tears "He must be so heartbroken" she whispered.
"He's still mourning your loss Kikyo, I don't doubt he is going to be heartbroken for a while…I'm sure this is not going to help it either. I was a good friend of his after all"
Kikyo blinked a few times as she regarded her reincarnation. Did she really not realize just how much InuYasha loved her?
There was a flash of light all of the sudden making both women turn their heads. Once the light resided they found one of the archangels in front of them.
"Kagome, I was told to summon you to the pavilion of the angels" he said in a warm voice.
"Okay" she turned back to Kikyo "I hope to see you soon Kikyo"
"I hope so too…it would be nice to see another familiar face"
She wasn't sure what to expect when she got summoned…in fact she didn't know why she got summoned to being with. As she entered the pavilion she saw at least a dozen angels all dressed in white and gold, they were beautiful. A woman with golden hair and green eyes approached her with a smile.
"Kagome. You have been summoned because you have been chosen to become a guardian angel"
Kagome's eyes went wide in shock.
"Me? Why?"
The woman smiled kindly at her "Why not? You have always remained true and pure of heart, even went so far as so forgive an evil being who took your life. Understand that if you choice this, your soul will never reincarnate, you will never be reunited with your love"
Kagome bit her lip, she may love him but InuYasha will always love Kikyo.
"We will give you some time to think on it, but for now…call it a trial run" she said.
Kagome felt warmth and power flow though her body. She looked down to see her dressed in a long white dress with golden stitching. She also felt something funny on her back, it was weird. Her wings where a pearly white that gave off different colors in the light, she extended them experimentally. It was like raising an arm, they just became part of her body.
"You may visit earth as we all do, but be warned, some humans are immune to our powers and they may be able to see you…especially children. Since they are pure of heart, they will be able to feel you are there…some may see you…but mostly they will sense your presence" said the green eyed angel.
Kagome nodded then when to leave to pavilion but paused. Every time she walked she heard a twinkling bell sound. She looked back at the golden hair woman who laughed.
"That is the sound of our powers. While on earth you will have no vocal cords, they only thing they can hear would be the sound of the heavenly bells…it gives mankind hope"

"InuYasha!" Shippo cried out trying to find his half demon friend. Shippo had gone off to fox training and has been absent from his friends for a year. He missed them and had just finished visiting Miroku and Sango and their hoard of kids. They had said that InuYasha rarely came around the village anymore and spent most of his time by the well and the sacred tree. He was still mourning the loss of Kagome after all these years.
Shippo couldn't blame him. He, himself could still feel the heartache that plagued him when he thought of her happy face and her laughter. Kagome was irreplaceable but he knew that she was in a better place. InuYasha however had grown distant and quite, his temper was so erratic that it was like walking on egg shells.
Shippo walked until he saw his red clad friend sitting beside the grave marker by the sacred tree where her body was laid to rest. After Kagome died, InuYasha couldn't pass though the well to tell her family that she had died. The magic had died along with the young miko.
He saw that InuYasha had his eyes closed and his back rested on the huge trunk of the tree. He looked serene and calm, almost like he was taking a nap, but Shippo knew better. InuYasha was never calm these days, one wrong move and he'll rip out your throat for disturbing him. He always came here to there she lay. The people of the village knew to stay away from this place. InuYasha didn't tolerate anyone near Kagome's grave maker; it was the only place where he felt that she was still here.
Shippo could feel her here too. It was strange, he too got the feeling that Kagome was nearby and every time he felt her presence he would hear a faint bell sound.
"InuYasha?" said Shippo softy keeping a safe distances away just in case he didn't want to be disturbed today.
InuYasha's golden eyes regard the kit with surprise then indifference. He had been listening to see if he could tell where the twinkling of that bell was coming from. He would hear it every once in a while and for some reason every time he did it would feel like she was with him.
"What are you doing here?" he snapped standing to walk away from his spot.
"I'm back from my training and wanted to see how you were" he replied hoping that he didn't have to run from his longtime friend.
"Yeah and? I suppose you want to say hello to her" he said then winced "though she will never say it back"
"InuYasha….how have you been?" he asked again.
"How do you think? Its five years since she's died but it feels like fucking yesterday for me! I can still hear her voice! I can still feel her close by" He looked away as fresh tears stung his eyes.
He couldn't forget her. She was the light in his world and now he felt surrounded by the darkness the wanted to consume his soul. No one could understand how he felt.
Kagome frowned at InuYasha. She didn't know that her passing had upset him this much. She had been popping in and out every once and awhile but the time here was confusing for her. Time in heaven passed differently than on earth she noticed. Sometimes she would go back to play with the children in the fields, keeping them company until the souls of their parents would find them other times she would sit and talk with Kikyo. To her it would only seem like a few hours but when she came back to earth another year would pass.
"I miss her too you know" said Shippo as he walked and kneeled by Kagome's grave and placed a hand on the grass saying hello to her. Kagome, who remained unseen by both of them, went to place a hand on his shoulder.
Shippo shivered as he felt something warm pass though his body as soon as he touched the grass. Then he heard the twinkling sound of bells in the wind.
"She was supposed to be my mate Shippo, she was my intended. You being a demon understand the meaning of that" said InuYasha quietly as he looked up at the sky thinking of how the color was almost the color of Kagome's eyes only a bit lighter.
Kagome's eyes when wide at his admission, he had wanted her to be his mate? How she loved him and missed being able to touch him, he would forever remain her one regret.
Shippo knew. InuYasha loved her so much that he and unknowingly marked her as his mate in his heart. Once a demon did that it was almost like an unbreakable bond that couldn't be cut. The ritual was never performed of course but InuYasha had scent marked her on more than one occasion and since Kagome loved InuYasha she had opened up her soul to him letting InuYasha's yokai leave its mark on her soul.
Shippo didn't have the heart to say anything else to his friend so he left after a moment of silence. He wondered if InuYasha would ever forget Kagome.
Shippo looked back to see InuYasha kneeling in front of her grave, one hand on the grass the other over his heart, his head bowed as silent tears ran down his face. No, he didn't thing he ever would. Then he tilted his head as he saw something strange in the wind right besides InuYasha. As a ray of light shone down on InuYasha's head he clearly saw the outline of someone right next to him.
"Kagome?" he breathed as he saw her. She looked at him in surprise then smiled at him, the sound of bells twinkling with every movement that she made. She extended her wings as she walked over to where Shippo was. Shippo felt his eyes water at the sight of his friend, she was really here with him in angel form.
"I miss you" he breathed to her as she kneeled by him and cupped his cheek to wipe his tears away. She didn't say anything but he heard the sound of bells clearly now. He then realized that she couldn't speak. Shippo looked over to see that InuYasha hasn't even noticed that he was still standing there. "He has missed you every day…please help him" he whispered as she nodded to him the sound of bells making him smile.
InuYasha frowned as he looked over to see Shippo looking out into space, it sounded like he was talking to him. The sound of that twinkling bell filled the space until he could swear it was coming from Shippo's direction. He looked as he heard Shippo say "Please help him". InuYasha frowned, who was Shippo talking to? The clouds parted making the sun shine brightly that he lifted his arm to block his eyes for a second.
Then he saw it.
The clear outline of a woman standing before Shippo, her wings extended as she glowed gold. He rubbed his eyes thinking maybe he was imaging things now. When he looked again the angel turned then he froze.
"Kagome?" he breathed as he caught sight of her raven hair but before he could go to her she vanished taking the sound of those bells with her.
He walked over to Shippo too shocked to speak.
Shippo knew that he saw her too, but he didn't think he should say it was Kagome, he didn't think his hanyou friend could handle that right now.
"Did I just see Kagome? Tell me I'm not fucking losing it Shippo" he breathed.
"InuYasha, you miss her…sometimes it makes us believe they are still with us" he lied feeling bad. Should he just tell him the truth?
InuYasha nodded his head then scoffed "Yeah..your right…I'm just tired I guess" with that he walked back to the tree to sit by the trunk once more.
InuYasha was sure he saw her but then again maybe it was just a trick of the light…she had wings after all.

"I can't forget him" said Kagome sadly as she sat in the pavilion where she had been for the past hours crying and feeling the loss of his arms deep within her soul "I love him…I don't know how much time has passed on earth but I can still feel a connection to him. What do I do?"
The green eyed angel looked at Kagome and knew that she loved the half demon. Why did fate deem to mate her with a demon was beyond her comprehension, but HIS will was not to be questioned.
"Over 500 years has passed on earth Kagome and he too hasn't forgotten about you. His love for you is still as strong as it was when you were alive. It truly is a phenomenon to us that he was able to retain his love for you after all these years"
Kagome cried when she heard this. He still loved her….even 500 years later, he loves her.
"It hurts…I love him so much…" said Kagome, tears falling down her face.
"You have to make a choice Kagome.."
5555555555555555555
InuYasha walked up the shrine steps not knowing what he was going to find. It took him a while to track down her old house. So much have happened in the past 500 years that he hoped the timeline was correct. He guessed that she must be around 15 years old or so..at least he hoped. He wasn't sure what he should expect, would she be alive?
He looked up at the sky and sent a silent prayer that she would be alive. He fixed the collar to his red polo shirt and made sure this dark rise jeans where wrinkle free as he walked up to house that had been his second home for as long as he could remember.
Knocking on the door he felt his stomach do little flips.
Souta answered to door and frowned at him.
"Can I help you?" the young boy said looking at him.
InuYasha frowned; his appearance hasn't really changed over the years. His hair was still silver and long, the only difference was that he learned to conceal his dog ears long time ago. His face may be a bit more grown but that was about it.
"You don't know who I am?" He asked regarding the small boy "Is your sister home?"
Souta frowned at him "You must have the wrong residence, I don't have a sister"
InuYasha didn't want to believe that. The only thing that has been keeping sane over the years was the possibility that she could be alive in this time. If Souta was alive then Kagome HAD to be alive.
"Is your mom home Souta?" InuYasha asked figuring that maybe Souta was maybe trying to protect his sister but the boy backed up from him a little bit startled "How do you know who I am?" he asked.
"Souta honey! Who is at the door" He looked up to see Mrs. Higurashi smile at him "Can we help you? Are you looking for someone?"
"Yes, is Kagome here?"
She frowned at then paled a bit.
"How did you know about Kagome?" she said in a small whisper.
"Because I know your daughter" InuYasha felt something was wrong, why did her mom look like she's seen a ghost and why didn't she recognize him?
"You couldn't have"
His practice was beginning to run out. He wanted Kagome out here now! Even if he had to force his way in there, but he was not leaving without seeing her.
"Come on! I know her! She has black hair and the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. We use to be inseparable when we use to come back and visit…tell me you remember me" he said then looked at the shocked face of Kagome's mom.
"Young man, I think you have the wrong house. I did have a daughter named Kagome but she died at birth. I think you should leave now"
With that they closed to door.
No
This was all wrong! 'she died at birth'
InuYasha felt the familiar wave of grief wash over him. Swallowing the hard lump in his throat he ran from the shrine that used to be the house of his beloved.
He couldn't remember how he got home but he closed the door to his penthouse throwing the keys across the living room as he screamed in outrage and sorrow.
They had changed the timeline in the past when she died.
He sat down on his leather sofa and took a long swig of the bottle of scotch that he had taken from his mini bar and laughed bitterly.
"After all my years of waiting…..it was all for shit" he muttered to himself as he looked around. He fought to be successful, remembered all of the things he saw when he had been here all those years ago with Kagome and become an influential investor. He built his empire from the technology that he had known was yet to come. He had done it hoping that once she was born, he would be able to offer her the best, she deserved the best.
Now, what did he have to live for? He walked over to the terrace and leaned on the rail and looked down. Even the freedom of death eluded him. If he committed suicide he would never be able to join her in the afterlife. He closed his eyes and saw her smiling face and heard her laughter.
Kagome, his Kagome was forever gone. He took another swig of the bottle letting the alcohol numb his pain.
888888888
He couldn't remember the last time he was sober…a week maybe? Or was it two? He groaned as he walked over to the windows that over looked the city and grimaced.
There was thunder and lightning in the night sky, he looked up and flipped off the sky.
"Fuck you!" he snarled "You took everything from me!" he yelled at the sky cursing the gods for taking away his only reason for living.
"She was EVERYTHING to me!"
He swayed a bit then laughed and went back inside and grabbed another bottle of scotch.
He was about to walk back to his spot on the couch when a bright light illuminated the living room.
Shit! Was he going to strike by lightning? He hoped it killed him then.
Then the light subsided, InuYasha shook his head as he stared at the person in his living room. The bottle fell from his hand and broke against the tile floor, but he didn't notice.
