She just lie there

I couldn't help her

I was too late

She just lie there

Bleeding.

"Inuyasha," she moaned

Feeling pain wash over

Her eyes like a waterfall.

She could not be saved.

I stared at her, then at my

Arm.

'I have to do it,' I thought,

Flexing my claws. I stared at

My arm again, and sighed, taking my hand back

And striking myself.

I yelped in pain, but I

Wouldn't have taken it back.

I let my blood drop onto her wound,

And watched as it seeped into her.

She looked at me with smiling eyes.

"Thank you," she said to me, crawling

Over to where I was and resting her head on

My knees.

I sighed, and picked her up into

My haori.

She snuggled into me, and

I kissed her forehead.

She sighed in pleasure,

And I kissed her again.

But this time, on the lips.

I pulled away, and began to cry,

A small tear trickling down my cheek.

She looked up at me, smiling comfortingly,

And asked me,

"What's wrong, Inu-kun?"

And I cried more.

"I thought I was going to lose you. I would never

Forgive myself if I let you slip away," and she

Kissed my lips.

"Inuyasha, I'm not going to die now."

She kissed me and held me close, and

I closed my eyes, taking in her scent.

This was the single greatest moment

Of my life.

I mean, come on!

Who wouldn't want to kiss this angel?
