He blinked and looked up at her through half-lidded eyes. Tears traced a gentle trail down her face as she gazed into his bright green orbs.
"Love you, my little one."
Kagome smiled and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek. Shippo grasped her hand, and tucked his head beneath her chin. She cradled the jewel in her palms, and took a deep breath.
He fell to his knees, bowed his head, and her name quietly fell from his lips. Flames licked at the edge of the clearing in which they stood. A bright pink barrier came to encircle both of their forms.
"I'll protect you, Shippo. No matter what happens, I love you. Know that."
He squeezed her hand, and cried out.
"Kagome!"
She faded from his vision, as the pink enclosed around him.

A/N: Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, duh! This is a series of various one-shots. This one, chapter two, chapter three and chapter four are short stories that I wrote whilst listening to the songs that are listed at the beginning of each chapter. They're fun little exercises! As of now they have nothing to do with each other, so they are stand-alone chapters. You should really go and check out the songs, they're truly awesome!
