A/N: This is a one-shot. Please review! ^. ^ It would be greatly appreciated. :D Anyhow, enough of my jibber jabber, I'll let you read now.

Saying Goodbye

"Inuyasha help!" thought a very scared Kagome. She was being chased by a very big fire demon and she had already run out of arrows and Inuyasha had gone off to Kikyo once again, while the rest had gone to the demon slayer village to fix Sango's weapon.

"Give up girl; I will have you for my dinner!" The demon swung its claws and hurt Kagome's side. She winced at how much it hurt and fell down screaming in pain. "Now you can die in peace." It seethed. But right before it could sink its teeth sunk into her body, someone yelled, "Wind Scar!" and it was killed.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha ran over to her, cringing at the smell of her blood. He looked at the wound to her side and winced. "Damn it, if I was only here." He thought. "Inu-Inuyasha, you came for me." She said weakly.

"Kagome, why wouldn't I, stupid." He whispered. "Damn she already lost too much blood! I was so stupid!" he yelled at himself in his head. "You were with Kikyo." "Kagome you mean a lot more to me than she ever will!" He saw her eyes widen.

"The only reason I went to see her was because I was going to say goodbye to her. Kagome, I love you!" Kagome's eyes widened, but before she could say anything she started coughing up blood.

She looked up at him with watery eyes as a streak of blood came down the side of her mouth.

"Inu-Inuyasha, I love you too." She replied with tears streaming down her face.

Moments later she coughed up more blood and her breathing started being labored. "Ka-Kagome." He said then kissed her, even though he could taste her blood.

He cried while kissing her. "I'm sorry I wasn't there." He thought.

Kagome smiled weakly returning the kiss. This was all she needed to hear.

Inuyasha felt her body go limp and she stopped breathing. He lifted his lips from hers to find her eyes closed with a peaceful expression on her face.

His face paled and he yelled, "Kagome?! No, Kagome wake up! Open your eyes! You can't leave me like this! Kagome!"

Tears poured down his cheeks like rain. He let out a howl of pain, knowing she wouldn't wake up. He couldn't believe it, she died because of him.

He picked up her limp body carefully and leaped off to the well.

When he got there he leaped down the well and walked solemnly into the Higarashi household. He was met by a friendly, "Oh Inuyasha, where's –." Miss. Higarashi stopped speaking when she saw her daughter's body in his hands.

She started crying. She asked, "What happened Inuyasha?" He replied, "She was attacked when I couldn't get to her. It's my fault she died." Miss. Higarashi looked him in the eye with her own teary ones and said, "No, don't blame yourself. Kagome wouldn't have blamed you."

After a few hours of more tears from everyone (including Inuyasha), they started planning her funeral.

The day of the funeral…

They all went up to say a few words about Kagome. Her friends talked about how much of a great friend she always was and how they would talk to her about lots of things and how much they would miss her. Her family talked about how close they were to her and how much she meant to her.

Then, finally, it was Inuyasha's turn to talk about her. He went up to the front of the room and said, "Kagome was one of my best friends. She was always there for me and taught me that not everyone can be as cruel as to judge what people looked like. I don't think I would have as many great friends as I do now if I hadn't met her. She was the one who helped me through tough times and even though I ran off when she probably was hurting inside she always came back to me and promised she would stay with me. She was my best friend, a caring girl, but most of all she was the woman I fell in love with." He paused as everyone except Kagome's family gasped. "Kagome, if you can hear me right now, I'll always think of you and will always love you forever. I wish I could have saved you from dyeing such a death. You will always be in my heart as well as everyone else's hearts. Goodbye for now and I'll meet you in the other world. Goodbye for now, my one and only, true love." He finished with tears in his eyes, knowing Kagome wouldn't be coming back.

Years later…

Inuyasha stood at Kagome's grave on her death anniversary. He looked at her grave with golden orbs filled with emotion and tears. "I'll love you forever Kagome."

As he was about to leave, someone came up behind him and said, "I bet she still loves you too." And walked away. He turned around and saw a woman that looked just like Kagome. Maybe there was still hope for him to love again.

A/N: So do you think I should make more chapters for this or no? Anyhow, R&R. :D
