Kagome, No More
Chapter 1
She was gone. Her smell of cherry blossoms no longer intoxicated the air of feudal Japan. Her giggles no longer ran in their ears. Her soul had faded. Kagome Hisgurashi was no longer there and never would be again.
Flashback
"You may have finally defeated me Inuyasha but I have one last card up my sleeve before I go" said Naraku as the jewel shards he had started falling to the ground. Kagome and Inuyasha had combined his wind scar with her sacred arrow and had it finally worked, it was tearing at Naraku's flesh. Naraku glowed a bright yellowish-pink color as he faded. A huge explosion happened and Naraku was gone but Kagome and Inuyasha's attack was coming back at them; fast. There was no time to thing and what happened next shocked everyone.
Kagome ran to Inuyasha and shoved him out of the fatal attack's path as she consumed the full blow of the attack dead on. Pain shot through her whole body and being as she was hit. The beams tore her school uniform to rags as she fell in a huge puddle of her own scarlet blood. Inuyasha was shocked at the sight before his golden-half demon eyes. Both pain and anger surged through his whole body.
"Kagome, wake up! Say something, anything!" said Inuyasha as he pulled her bloody head and shoulders on to his lap.
"Why did you do something so reckless?" he said again, unsure of how to feel.
Kagome spat up blood as she spoke, "Aren't you always doing the same reckless things for me?"
Inuyasha said nothing.
"I did it because I love you..." she sighed softly and then spat up more blood. Inuyasha's heart stopped as his eyes grew big.
"Inuyasha I would do anything for if it would make you love me in the slightest way. I would even let you call me Kikyo if it meant you would love me. I would let you...no matter how much it hurt me in the process." finished Kagome for a moment.
"I love you Inuyasha, I...just...wished...I could have lived till the day you would have said the same." She said again closing her eyes.
Life was evaporating from her body fast.
"I'll love you always and forever more...my dear, sweet Inuyasha"
"No Kagome; don't leave me! Can't you see, I need you!" said Inuyasha as tears blurred his vision.
She smiled, "It's too late for me Inuyasha, and I promise I'll always watch over you. Just please...please...promise you won't forget me." said Kagome with her last breathe.
A smile formed on her lips as her small, battered body fell limp in his arms, as her spirit departed.
Inuyasha screamed, "KAGOME!!!!"
His screams were useless as he softly shook her limp body, but there was a smile on her face. Miroku and Sango placed their hands on his shoulder. He dared not face them with tears in his eyes. They knelt down beside him and cried as well.
End of Flashback
Inuyasha sat at the sacred tree, unsure of everything. Kagome's presence always made him feel so sure of everything he did and now she was gone and his life was empty. The last words she had spoke to him rang in his ears like a thousand church bells. Tear drops stained his pale cheeks. A voice softly passed through his ears.
"Don't cry over me Inuyasha."
His head rose quickly as he looked for the mouth the words had escaped from; and there at the base of the tree stood Kagome, smiling like always. He jumped down and ran to hug her and cress her. But as he reached her she faded. He fell to his knees in defeat, screaming. When Kagome was alive he kept his emotions so carefully guarded and now that she was gone they flooded out uncontrollably.
He went back to the village where Kaede, Miroku, Sango and Shippo were getting ready to burier Kagome's body and give her a proper ceremony. He looked around and saw pain everywhere he turned. Kagome had been changed into a silk white rob; she looked so beautiful, even in death.
"Inuyasha, we need you to carry her body to the grave site, you are the only one strong enough." Said Kaede.
He knew that he really wasn't strong enough but he nodded nonetheless. He scooped up her lifeless and soulless body and carried her to the grave they had prepared for her earlier. They laid her to rest but Inuyasha, suffering, stayed behind long after the other's had left. He knew he had to go to Kagome's time and tell her family of what had happen but it would hurt him so much to go the place where everything was Kagome.
"Kagome, what am I going to do without you?" said Inuyasha to the recently covered grave. It was now the wee hours of the morning. He sighed and lay down next to Kagome's grave and fell into a restless sleep that was clouded with images of his dearest.
When he awoke, he stirred, not wanting to wake up. He got up and walked back to Kaede's hut, where she was awaiting him at the threshold.
"Inuyasha, we all are in pain because of what happened to our dear Kagome but you must go tell her family now. You can't wait any longer."
She said not looking at him.
"I know Kaede." Said Inuyasha softly as he walked to the well saying nothing more.
As he approached the well, he went and sat on the end and fell in backwards freely wished that he would hit the bottom and die so he could be with Kagome. The soft pink light engulfed him as he merged into Kagome's time. He had just entered the place that would kill him.
Sadness swept over him entirely as he walked out of the well shelter. Before he went to tell Mrs. Higurashi, he wanted to see her room again. He jumped into the tree outside of her window. Her window was open, he noted as he peered inside. As he sat right at the window he took a long and deep breathe taking in her sweet scent, longing for her presence. He heard a noise and jumped back out of sight but in looking distance of her room. A figure entered her room and Inuyasha's heart stopped aswell as his breathing because there before him stood Kagome gettingready for school with a smile on her face.
