I struggled to escape, but seemed futile. The thorns got deeper into my body as I tried to free myself. I reached for something to grab to try pulling myself out of this death grasp, but it was in vain, the tree in front of me was further away than I thought. What should I do? How did I end up in this situation anyway?

FLASHBACK

"I know you are in pain for goodness sake, losing the one you love is horrible, but you have to go on at one point" I screamed at him, but all he did was watching me with those amber eyes. They were a little surprised by my anger, but more than that they had that sadness that made my heart ache.

"Please come back to life, you're not dead, even though you wish for it" I continued.

"Shut up" was all he said. That made my anger grow even higher.

"No I won't shut up, I hate seeing you like this. I never said anything till now ,because I somehow hopped that you'll come through your senses, but you didn't. You just continue moving, even if you seem dead inside…"

"What do you know about losing someone you love?" he shouted and I opened my eyes wider in shock.

I tried to run, but my hole body was numbed. He finally said it, he admitted that he loved Kikyou. I always knew it, but somehow hearing it from him hurt more than anything. I couldn't even cry, I just stared at him. My knees were trembling menacing to collapse and I saw him coming towards me and I felt his arms wrapped around me. All the numbness vanished and I whispered to him:

"I know how it feels like to lose the one you love….I lost you…"

I pulled away from him and ran as fast as I could. My tears flowed freely now and I knew that this time it was the last time I'll ever see him. I kept running until I almost lost my breath, then I fell on my knees in front of this weird lake. I just glared at its surface where the moon was drowning. And then in an instant all disappeared and instead, a wall of thorny vines just appeared in front of me.

The initial shock was short so I tried to get up, even if I was tired, to make it for an escape, but it was too late, cause the vines were already wrapped around my feet and hands. When did that happen?

END OF FLASHBACK

All these memories coming back, made my heart ache so bad that I thought it's going to break. The vines were clutching harder around me, but somehow I didn't care about that, I couldn't even feel the pain anymore. I knew that Inuyasha won't come after me and being in his human form, he couldn't feel the danger.

That was the last drop, I looked down and I gave up….

I woke up later. I don't know how much time passed but when I looked in front of me was the most horrifying image …Inuyasha was all wrapped in vines, with his blood draining from everywhere.

"No…no…Inuyashaa…wake up please…wake up.." I screamed and tried to free myself. Why did he come after me? Why couldn't he just stay away?

"Inuyashaa…" I cried his name, but he seemed unconscious. For a second I thought I heard his heart thump and then it stopped. The fear of losing him started to squeeze in my heart and tears flowed down my cheeks.

"I…WIL…NOT….let you die…INUYASHAA" I shouted and this purple light gathered around me pulsing. And then the vines broke and vanished.

I fell to the ground exhausted, but I knew I had no time to waste. I almost crawled to reach Inuyasha and the sight of him lifeless, took my breath away. I struggled to free him, crying all the time. The purple light appeared again and the vines broke then vanished.

Inuyasha's body hanged for a second in the same position, then fell upon me. I tried to catch him, but he was to heavy, so we both collapsed on the ground, him on top of me. Then all became black again….

The pressure on my rib cage started to ache. I tried to move, but it was impossible. I slowly opened my eyes, but the sunlight was so powerful that made me look away. There was silver hair all around me. He was still on top . None of us moved and he was still sleeping. Then I heard a moan.

"Ka-go-me…"

His whisper in my ear sent a shiver down my spine. I wish I could've stayed that way forever, but I couldn't breath anymore.

"Inuyasha…it…hurts"

"Hmm?"

He lifted his head and looked down at me. I thought I saw a smile, but I could be wrong. He forced himself down a side and he pulled me in his arms.

"I don't want to lose you. I already lost a friend, but you.. I couldn't bear to lose you"

Friend? Did he say friend? I Thought I was dreaming, his voice was so sweet in my head and I felt his arms getting tighter around me.

"I'm so happy to know I never lost you…" I ended.
