Maybe It's Time to Let Go

Chapter One
"The Shikon no Tama. Now I can use it to become full demon." The hanyou known as Inuyasha, jumped swiftly away from the debris that was once a village. The village he had destroyed on the same day Kikyo had died. "Inuyasha!" He turned around, recognizing the voice immediately, but it wasn't who he thought it was. No. It was his worst nightmare. Kagome. She stood in priestess clothing, just as Kikyo always wore. Blood staining her right shoulder, she fired a sacred arrow, aimed straight for Inuyasha's heart. The blow from the arrow caused the half-demon to fly back against a tree, the God Tree that he was pinned to for fifty long years. "Kagome, why?" His voice was hoarse for a deep slumber was washing over him from the power of the sacred arrow she had fired. "Because Inuyasha, I don't love you anymore."
* * *

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, as he darted upright out of his terrible nightmare. He almost fell out of the tree he was sleeping in, but regained his balance. 'Kagome. Why would she do that to me? Dreams are a sign of what is to come. She would never betray me. But Kikyo, I still mourn for her loss. I want her by my side. I would give anything to hold her close to me again.' Inuyasha's eyes trailed down to the sleeping form that was Kagome. "Damned kitsune," he muttered, feeling a little jealous in the fact that he always slept with the girl every single night. But Shippo only slept in the same bed as Kagome for motherly purposes. Not like the thoughts the little naughty doggy up in the tree was having. 'That jerk, Naraku. I swear-I will kill him with my own hands. Stain his blood across my claws, and have him dying before my eyes.' "SIT BOY!" "What in Seven Hells!? Oh crap!" Inuyasha flew to the ground-the incantation Kagome yelled making the beads he wore around his neck glow purple. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR, WENCH!?" He waited for the spell to wear off, for he couldn't get up otherwise. "You were spacing out! You wouldn't even answer me when I called your name about fifty million times! I had to bring you back to reality, and this was the only way I could think of!" Finally, the weight on his back loosened, and he was able to sit up. "Well, you coulda' thrown a rock or something!" He looked in the other direction, away from her angry gaze-well aware she could yell the "S" word at any moment. And oh did she yell. "SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!" She watched before her as the helpless, well, not totally helpless half-demon got his faced smashed into the hard ground five times. "I'm going for a walk, and don't bother following me you bad puppy!" And with that she trudged off, not caring about the curse words he muttered as she left the poor little dog on the floor. "I swear you'll regret that Kagome!" he yelled at her retreating figure passing through the trees. "What's wrong Inuyasha?" asked the groggy little fox as he rubbed the remaining sleep out of his green eyes. "Nothing, fox. Just go back to sleep." He gazed at Shippo, noticing how moist his eyes had gotten. "You made her leave again, didn't you?! I despise you Inuyasha, you mangy mutt!" The kitsune's ranting had woken up the sleeping monk and demon huntress. "What's all the hustle and bustle?" Sango looked up, thoroughly confused at all the commotion the two demons had caused. "Dammit! Why can't I just have some piece and quiet?!" He too trudged off, in the same direction as Kagome. But Sango and Miroku didn't know that. "Maybe he just needs some time to think things through." The houshi looked at the hunter with understanding eyes and she nodded. "I guess so," she mumbled. "Well, he made Kagome leave!" He jumped into Sango's arms, tears threatening to pour out at any moment. "Shippo, she'll come back. Inuyasha is always finding some way to make her mad. She'll blow off some steam and return to us."

"That mutt! Mark my words, he will apologize for his actions!" Walking, not noticing where her feet were taking her, she stared up at a beautiful full moon. "I just wished he would be more nicer towards me. Like, Kikyo. As soon as the name left her lips, she noticed something with a purple aura surrounding it coming fast towards her. "Oh no!" she cried out, tripping over a tree root. The object hit a nearby tree with a thud, the purple glow still flowing through the mystery item. "An arrow? What in the world? Who the heck shot it at me?" She got on her feet, walking closer to the fired weapon. Only one person would do this to me! Kikyo. She spun around, a figure not too much taller than herself standing yards away from her. "What are you doing here?" asked the voice, more demanding than curious. "None of your business," commented Kagome coolly. "You will tell me where that traitorous, half-man, half-demon is, or next time this arrow will grow straight through your heart." The priestess fastened another arrow to her bow, ready to fire at the helpless girl. "Stop this Kikyo! It's not right! Inuyasha still loves you! No matter what you think!" The teenager tried walking closer to the woman, but only got Kikyo to tighten her hold on the weapon. "Please Kikyo. No matter how much it hurts me inside, he still loves you. I have to cope with these feelings every day. Maybe it's time to let go." "I will kill Inuyasha! Even if I have to take the souls of a million maidens until I do so!" "Go ahead. Kill me, Kikyo. It won't change the fact that you're still trying to kill Inuyasha. Then maybe, I'll have a little peace within my soul when I die." "Enough of your foolish lies!" Filling the arrow with all her hatred for her reincarnation, Kikyo shot it, sending another massive purple aura in the direction of Kagome. 'Maybe if I die, Inuyasha will finally see how much he cares for me.' The arrow hit its mark. The aura surrounded Kagome, locking her in place, holding her there until the arrow hit her heart. 'Goodbye Inuyasha. Just so you know, I loved you.' "I love you Inuyasha." The priestess heard the girl's last words, not feeling any remorse for what she had just done. "Maybe now you'll learn your place." Kikyo pulled on the giant shard attached to Kagome's neck and snapped the chain. "I must carry this to Naraku." And without so much as a second glance at her now dying reincarnation, she walked off into the night.
* * *
"Kagome! Kagome! Dammit! Where the hell could she be?" Inuyasha stopped abruptly, the smell of blood. someone he knew. Someone. "Kagome!" But Inuyasha smelled the scent of someone all over her. Another female. Not wasting anymore time, he hurried of in the direction of the girl's scent.
* * *

'Inuyasha. My hanyou. I wish he that was here with me right now. I want to say I'm sorry for making him choose between the one he loved and me.' "Kagome!" The almost "dead" girl turned her eyes sluggishly to the familiar voice. The half-demon ran by her side, looking her body over. "Who Kagome? Who did this to you?" "Inuyasha, it doesn't matter. You won't want to kill her anyway." She turned her eyes away from his x-ray gaze. "I want to know. I'll kill whoever did this to you." He traced his clawed hand to the arrow sticking out of her chest. Cautiously, he pulled on the object penetrating her body. With a slight groan escaping from her, he got the arrow out. The scent of blood was everywhere. He couldn't tell who had recently been here. "Kagome, tell me now!" He noticed even in her state, she flinched at the tone of his voice. She coughed, blood seeping through her mouth. "It would be like telling on her. I won't. Don't make me." The teen carried her half-lidded blue/gray eyes to meet his golden ones. "It was Kikyo, wasn't it?" He placed a hand on her cold cheek, urging her to tell him the answer. She lifted her bloodied hand on top of his, once again bringing her face to look in those golden pools. "Yes, it was," she murmured. Her eyes fell shut, welcoming the darkness she was falling into. "Kagome, you can't. You can't die." He sat down and put his back against the tree she was leaning on. Carefully, he pulled her into his lap. Rocking back and forth, he whispered things to her. "Please. I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot, Kagome. Please come back to me. I beg you." Silent tears flowing down his cheeks, he rested her head against his chest.

"Inuyasha, I have to go. I'm sorry I won't be here with you. Tell Shippo I went to my time. You can't tell him I died, not now. When he's older." "You can tell him you're going home. You'll tell him. You can't leave us. Me." "I want you to know. I love you Inuyasha." With that she slumped against his chest, the hanyou noticing she was no longer breathing. Pulling her close, more tears falling, he whispered one last thing to her. "I love you too, Kagome."
