A/N: my other story is going a little slow for me right now, so I decided to write this drabble of a song fic.

Disclaimer: Insert various witty comment of "I don't own InuYasha or Saying Sorry by Hawthorne Heights" here

Saying Sorry

These colors will not change

You change the way I see them

These words will fade

When you explain why you hate them

We are the same

There is was, waiting for Kagome on the other side of the well. She had gone to visit her home and gather supplies for the final battle with Naraku. When she came back through there was a lone rose and a note that greeted her, instead of a golden-eyed face. Kagome picked up the faded red rose, she never thought about the color red without seeing InuYasha's bright fire rat clothing, and the note, which simply said.

Kagome, we needed to go on ahead. I hope you understand that when you get this we may already be in Battle. Kagome I love you. Goodbye.

-InuYasha

She keeps repeating all that she needed

She says she's right here, she seems so distant

Saying goodbye this time, the same old story

Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry

All she really wanted was him by her side. That was all she had ever wanted and needed. She ran, that is all she felt she could do. She never stopped, no; she had to reach them before it was too late. Without her purification arrows there was no safe way to beat Naraku. Finally, after two days she saw a great amount of yellow energy cut through the forest and the sky. "InuYasha," Kagome whispered as a slight grin graced her face for an instant before running to him.

Kagome got to the clearing as InuYasha's windscar was about two feet away from Naraku and immediately she fired a sacred arrow. Naraku had not seen the miko or her arrow and was not prepared, her arrow hit its target and Naraku took in his final breath before collapsing.

Kagome rushed to her friends, who were picking themselves up and looking for any serious wounds. It was Sango who first turned to Kagome.

"Kagome! You're alive!" Sango rushed to her best friend and hugged her tightly.

"Of course I am! Why?" With this comment Sango's face became solemn. "Naraku had taken over a powerful oracle. When the oracle told InuYasha that you would die in battle he wouldn't wait for you. He wouldn't even listen to Miroku and I telling him that she was obviously possessed. He said that she may have been fighting Naraku's powers and he wouldn't chance your life."

"Where is he?" came Kagome's only reply. Sango pointed to a red and white mass covered in blood on the ground a short distance away as Miroku walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close.

Just a few last hours, we gotta make this count

We're counting backwards

(Just a few last hours, we gotta make this count)

We're falling forwards

She keeps repeating all that she needed

She says she's right here, she seems so distant

Saying goodbye this time, the same old story

Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry

"Inu…InuYasha? She kneeled before the mass with tears starting to form in her eyes. She reached for his hand intertwining her fingers with his.

"Kagome…why…why are you here? InuYasha stuttered, each word was like an extra dagger cutting into his skin.

"I came to be with you, to help you."

"Feh. I didn't need it, especially if you were going to get hurt." He groaned, moving his other hand to a wound that was causing massive blood loss. "Kagome, I don't have long," he said, purposely avoiding her eyes which smelled strongly of salt.

Saying goodbye this time, the same old story

Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry

Saying sorry we're falling apart

Wish we knew this from the start

Saying goodbye's the hardest part

Wish we knew this from the start

Kagome let her tears fall freely, she didn't care who of what saw them. InuYasha, her only love was leaving her, never to return. His breath was short, quick, and painful. InuYasha squeezed her hand as a single tear ran down his face.

"Goodbye Kagome and I 'm sorry" with that he closed his eyes for the last time.
