A/N: This story will be a flashback telling up to the part you are about to read. I know some of you are probably are upset with the fact that I am starting a new story when I haven't updated Concrete Angel (the next chapter should be up this week, so don't worry about it) or any of my others, but I just got this idea and I wanted to try it out. So please be kind and don't flame me saying that I shouldn't make any more stories until, cause it is a waste of breath. I tried not to write a new one but you all know that even I can't control my mind! So don't try to control it either, for you will fail... miserably. Now back to the story, I would also like to add that this story is A.U on the account that I don't feel like making up some excuse for InuYasha and the others coming and living in the future. (If you want to know why, its cause I am too damn lazy!) So, now that that is all taken care of.... One with the story!!!
Tears of Diamonds
Chapter One
The Beginning of the End
The soft morbid music of the organ echoed through the stone church. She could hear soft whispers of the people around her. It was like she was watching a movie; that she wasn't there with friends and family, she was just there. Everyone was adorned in black. The sobs sounded so loud, yet so far away. People came up to her and gave her their blessings. They all gave her looks of unwanted pity. They now were all going up to place in front of the altar. She went with them and waited patently for the people in front of her to pay their respects. She kneeled down on the white cushion.
The person inside the casket's hair was surrounding their angelic face. The eyes that held so much emotion and fire were now shut, never to see the bright sunlight again. The soft lips were pale and motionless. They looked like they were sleeping, but not at the same time.
Unsure of what to do now, Kagome did the one thing she had been holding back that day. She let a solitary tear drop from her stormy eyes and land on the cold lips of her beloved InuYasha.

After the funeral she sat under a large marble angel, the guardian of InuYasha's finial resting place. She stared at the new pile of dirt that served as the barrier between her and him.
She looked up at the sky, clear crystal blue looked back at her. Something was missing from it, she thought sadly. She looked around the never-ending fields of blue. There was no sun. It was like when the fire in the golden eyes of her love, the sun went out too. Why did this have to happen, she pondered to herself.
"It isn't fair!" she cried as she hit her fist on the side of the marble base of the statue she was perched on. She only succeeded in hurting her hand, causing her hand to throb.
It was all her fault. If she hadn't gotten him into her problems he would have never been killed. He would be here, with her. They could be at home on the couch together watching a movie. She would be holding him in her arms, but no. He had to care, he had to want to help her. He had to get in her past and what did it do? It killed them. It made him break his promise that he would never leave her. Some promise that was! He knew of the dangers! He knew that they might not have lived if they stepped into the black web of lies and darkness that her father thrived in.
"How did we end up this way?" she asked no one. She smiled sadly as the memories flooded her senses. "Oh yes, I remember now..."
(A/N: From now on it is a flash back ending up to the events that just happened. Just thought I would tell you incase some of you got confused.)

"Come on!" she yelled at the car in front of her, not caring that the driver couldn't hear her. "Move goddamn it!" He pushed the middle of her steering wheel, honking at the car.
It was Monday morning around seven fifty and Kagome was on her way to work that is if the person in front of her would move. She pushed her silky midnight black hair out of her face and reached for her cell phone on top of her navy blue business suit jacket. She dialed her boss, Keade's, office number. After about a minute of waiting for someone to pick up the phone, Keade picked it up.
"Takahashi Corporations." The elder woman's voice came through the phone.
"Keade, its Kagome." Keade's once kind voice went to an annoyed one. "Where are God's name are you, child?" she scolded.
"I'm stuck in traffic. I would be there if this guy would move!" whined as she pressed the horn again.
"Well, try to get here soon. I have some business with you."
"Okay, Keade. Hopefully I'll be there within the next century or so." Laughter echoed in Kagome's ears.
"Right, just try and hurry."
"Bye."
"Good-bye and Kagome?" Keade asked.
"Yes?" she replied wondering what she wanted.
"Please, don't kill anyone on the way over. You know how you can get when you go into road rage."
"Good-bye, Keade." She said forcefully and closed the silver phone. She stretched her neck to see how far the line of cars went. Seeing what looked like miles of cars, she huffed and slouched down in her seat. At this rate she would never get to work.
