I'll Be Your
Star Stealing Girl


Prologue

"Show me a hero and I will show you a tragedy."

-F. Scott Fitzgerald


"It's okay, we're almost there."

She hadn't expect this.

"Please don't leave me, Kagome-neechan. Please, please don't leave me!"

She hadn't expected any of this.

"I swear, I won't leave without you. You're coming with me."

Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kouga, even Sesshoumaru...

"They're really dead... Sesshoumaru-sama's gone... How did this happen?! Nee-chan, I don't understand!"

Inuyasha...

Sobs were the only answer the child received...

All of them gone.

"Oh, God, I'm so sorry..."

The final battle with Naraku had taken place, leaving behind drastic results of the worst measure. Everyone fought their damned hardest just to make sure that the bastard would go beyond the seven levels Hell and never return. Kohaku sacrificed himself for his sister, placing himself between her and one of Naraku's tentacles. He died quickly, giving Sango one final smile before passing away. Hakkaku and Ginta had been fighting alongside Kouga, as always, and both died while trying to keep guard of their leader. Neither of them had a chance...

Sweaty palms clung to that of a smaller version, never letting go of the little girl that had come into her care.

As for the rest... Well, it seems Naraku had planned something akin to a suicide bombing. Building up enough energy, the half-demon sent out a large wave of telekinetic energy, somehow managing to freeze all those within a ten foot radius of himself. It was a shock to the system, even something the great Sesshoumaru couldn't break of.

"I see it, Rin! It's right there – the well! We're going to my time, where it's safe. I promise you, you're going to stay with me. I won't leave you alone like..."

With his entire bit of energy built up, he unleashed something akin to an explosion – destroying everything. Even himself. It was a miracle alone that Kagome herself hadn't been caught in the blast. It was pure luck that Rin had been watching from the forest tree lines, disobeying her lord's orders not to follow.

Picking up the smaller girl, Kagome held her tightly in her arms as she took one last look at the world behind her.

He took everyone she cared for with him.

Tears streamed from pale blue eyes.

There were no traces left of them. Nothing to bury, nothing to mourn over...

It wasn't supposed to end like this...

Everyone... gone.

Gazing longingly at the world that once was her home away from home, she jumped into the well to return to her own time, a cerulean blue surrounding her. The whole of the Shikon no Tama clutched in her left hand.

She never got to tell him...

It would be the last time she would go to the Feudal Era.

Never really get to tell him she loved him...


Okay, so this is the beginning of my first... sorta canon Inuyasha fic. I'm such a fan of AU that I normally stick with that, but hopefully this'll work out well. Expect mistakes, as I haven't seen the series in a LOOOONG time and have forgotten most of the storyline. I'm trying to refresh myself on the need to know basics, however.

Not ever chapter is going to have the italics sequence as this one did, as this was just to get a point across. Just figured I'd mention that XD.

Expect a new chapter within the next week! Bye~!
