A/N: Well, happy Easter. Some Easter present… this is slightly depressing. Oh well, I hope you enjoy it regardless. :D Review after you read please. :D

I pressed my face to the cool stone, ignoring the cool wind as it battered me, sending chills up my spine; I couldn't care less. She was gone. My life had next to no meaning anymore. She was the equivalent of my soul, and without her, I felt empty and lost.
"Inuyasha?"
My ear flicked automatically, but I did not look up; I barely even moved, and I jumped slightly as I felt a soft hand caress my cheek. The feminine hand wiped my tears away, and I sniffed, wanting only for the person I'd lost to come back, so I could lock my honey eyes on her chocolate ones and never look away again.
"Come on Inuyasha, she's gone."
I stared up at the female who spoke, listening to her soft voice with a blank expression upon my face. It hardly registered, what she was saying, and I shivered as another cold wind cut through me, my body continuing to shake even after the coolness had passed.
"Inuyasha," she said once again. Her voice was even, but my ears gave an involuntary twitch. I could hear the underlying hurt and impatience in her voice; she wanted me to forget, to lock away all the feelings and love over my lost miko in my heart and never access those feelings again. I knew I couldn't do it.
When I didn't respond, physically or verbally to her, she started to walk away. "Inuyasha, forget about her, or you will never move on."
I clenched the cool headstone next to me. No way would I forget her. I ignored Kikyo's constant suggestions to follow her, and she silently left. A cold tear trickled slowly down my cheek, falling inaudibly to the ground.
Kagome was dead.
Another tear. I would grieve for her. I would stay by her side, like she'd always stayed by mine. I loved her, and would never leave her.
A/N: I know, I know. Depressing? You all hate me for making Kikyo live? Yes? No? I would love to hear what you thought. :P
