PROLOUGUE

"Inuyasha!"

I heard Kagome yell as my body began to tumble over the cliff. It was strange, normally I would be able to sense these types of things and find a way to get my body to land on its feet or jump out of danger's way. But I couldn't, or rather, I didn't want to. I was so fed up with it all. The pain, the rejection, the loss; I was sick of it all. I stared up at Kagome as I continued to fall down the cliff toward my end. . . my approaching death. I could feel the wind brush against my skin as I fell, and I slowly closed my eyes.

'That's it.' I thought. 'This will all be over soon.'

The impact was sudden and shocking. The moment my body hit the ground it exploded in excruciating pain. I felt my bones rupturing and cracking under the ground beneath me. The ground broke and split creating a crater to nest my broken body. I looked to the side as black spots began to dance in my vision.

CHAPTER 1: THE END

A few days earlier.

The initial thought that I was crazy was being whispered throughout my entire group, but I wasn't crazy.

"You want w-what?" Kagome stuttered and I stared at her unfazed.

"I think you should go back to your world." I answered simply to her question.

I didn't understand why it was so hard to understand. I wanted Kagome to go home.

"Why? Inuyasha, this is unlike you." Miroku said steadily.

I looked at Kagome who was staring at me wide eyed.

"Because. . ."

I looked away far off into the distance, trying to think of an excuse. I obviously couldn't tell her the real reason or she'd freak.

"I. . . just need a break." I finished, still looking off at the distance.

I felt the stares of all ten eyes as I continued to look away.

"B-but Inuyasha-"

"NO!" I snapped. "JUST GO HOME, KAGOME! I DON'T WANT YOU HERE!"

I heaved and continued on with my yelling.

"YOUR PISSING ME OFF! CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE?"

Kagome looked at me hurt and then her face twisted in anger and sadness.

"I'm sorry, Inuyasha! I was just trying to understand you and fix the problem!"

Kagome yelled which ringed in my ears causing me to twitch.

"KAGOME! SHUT UP AND JUST GO HOME!" I barked, my anger slipping with each word I said as I balled my hand up in a fist.

Kagome glared at me with anger filled hurt eyes.

"Look guys, maybe we should-"

"INUYASHA! SIT" Kagome yelled, causing me to fall face first into the ground. My lungs closed up as I tried to breath only to sniff up dirt and I choked. I heard a ripping sound but it was barely audible for a human's hearing.

"SIT! SIT! SIT!"

She continued causing me to fall deeper, creating a crater on the ground. I could hear people gathering around and muttering endlessly around me.

"Inuyasha did it again."

"He should know better than to talk to Lady Kagome that way."

"It's because he's rude."

"He has no respect for others, I swear."

I heard them all whisper around me as if I couldn't hear them. I didn't need this, I really didn't.

"Inuyasha, you should apologize to Kagome." I heard Kaede say as she walked through the crowd of people.

"Me?" I said slowly getting up. "I didn't do anything. I just asked her to go home."

I looked at Kaede with eyes full of anger.

"All I wanted was for her to g-go home." I froze when I notice I had choked on the words, but of course like always no one notice or no one cared.

"I was just worried about you, but fine. If you want me to leave so badly then I'll leave!" Kagome yelled before storming away.

"Inuyasha, what is the matter?" Miroku said, looking at me with concerned eyes.

I stared at him for a while before leaping into the air and leaving the village.

. . .

I ended up in the woods, trying to get as far away from the village as possible. I looked around as I stared at all of the various animals that hopped around in very happy life. Or maybe it wasn't happy after all, maybe they were sad. Maybe their mothers had died and today just so happened to be the day that she died all those years ago and all they wanted was to be alone.

"All I wanted was to be alone." I whispered, closing my eyes.

I didn't want to hurt Kagome's feeling but come on, I had asked her nicely but she hadn't left. What was wrong with everyone jumping in without even knowing what's going on and automatically thinking I'm the bad guy?

I stopped jumping and stood there looking down at the ground. So much for mourning my mother's death. I thought I'd actually get to do it this year since every single day I had to fight for my life so I never had the time. And with Kagome around, that would be even harder because she'd want to know why I was gone so often or why I didn't want to talk to her. She'd get all up in my business and I wasn't in the mood to tell her. Plus the fact that if something was to happen to her while I was gone I would have felt even worse. I scanned the area for somewhere I could sit and rest. My eyes landed on a big gray bolder that sat right under a tree. It was perfect. Slowly, I made my way to the bolder sitting myself upon it and sink my head low.

'I'm tired of this, it's getting ridiculous.' I thought.

I'm tired of it all. The fighting, the arguing. I'm a hanyou but I have feelings, too. I closed my eyes forcing back tears. But I don't have a say in this after all I'm nothing but a hanyou.

It's not fucking fair.

"Inuyasha."

I lifted my head up to look at the person who had just interrupted my thinking in the eye with a steady glare. The man began to walk closer but then stopped a good ten feet away from me.

"What are you doing here?" He paused, assessing me with a disgusted look. "Hanyou."

The simple word held venom in it even though the owner stared at me indifferently. I stood up clenching my teeth together as I growled.

"What the hell do you mean what am I doing here? You're the one near me. I was here first, you asshole!" I growled and in flash Sesshomaru's hand was wrapped around my neck.

I was pushed against a tree and my feet weren't touching the ground.

"Put me the fuck down!" I growled, as I clawed at Sesshomaru's hand.

But, it was useless he only tightened his grip closing my airway.

"You will not speak to me in that manner, hanyou. I am not your mongrel humans."

He growled slamming me hard against the tree I was pushed against.

"Understood?" He said slamming once more to the tree. I closed my eyes trying to breathe against the pain that I was feeling.

"Fuck you." I rasped out, glaring at Sesshomaru.

"Perhaps you don't." He said, throwing me onto the ground.

I landed painfully on a bunch of tiny rocks. I skidded against the ground before being nicked by a big rock, but continued to slide along the ground till I hit a tree. The tree split open and fell on top of me. It was agonizing.

I felt a few of my ribs break with a horrible crack. My back felt wet and I could feel something falling down. And by the smell of it, it was blood. I closed my eyes against the pain as I pushed the tree off of me. Slowly I stood up off of the ground with blood dripping down my head.

"Seems like I'll have to teach it to you." Sesshomaru said running up to me in an attack stance with his claws.

I backed away drawing out Tetsusaiga as quickly as I could in my broken state. Sesshomaru claws hit my blade with a loud metallic clang. Sesshomaru drew back and just as quickly as he pulled back, he returned, with a force even stronger that knocked me of my feet.

Instantly, I jumped up just in time to avoid a blow to the throat but not quickly enough to anticipate the blade that had been drawn. And then it was cutting through my abdomen. I grinded my teeth together as blood squirted all over the place. I crawled away a little to give me space to get up on my feet. I stood there holding my stomach as it throbbed with pain.

"Damn." I whispered as the pain I felt weakened my body so much that I fell to my knees. I looked up at Sesshomaru to see him standing there looking at me indifferently.

I took three shallow breaths trying to breathe but it felt as though my lungs we're being burned and pulled apart. I slowly looked down and noticed green acid burning my internal organs.

"Ahhh!" I screamed in pain as out of nowhere Sesshomaru's blade came down my shoulder. I heard a cracking sound and it felt as though my clavicle broke.

"Sess-homaru!" I hissed in pain, grabbing the blade with my hand to pull it out of my shoulder.

"Goodbye, Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said as he pulled the blade out of my shoulder, cracking my clavicle even more and creating a deep gash on the palm of my hand.

"Fuck you!" I snarled as Sesshomaru's blade came down and plunged through my chest.

"Die, Inuyasha."
