Everything will be all right

I sit there holding his hand; I never had a chance to tell him how I felt.

Kikyou, I now have one more reason to hate you.

You took from me the man I loved, my heart aches with an indescribable pain. I have never wanted to die so much.

Tears run down my face, no, I mustn't hold a grudge towards her. If I do the jewel will only become tainted.

I must be strong, for Shippo's sake, for Mama, Grandpa, Souta. They wouldn't want me to cry, I don't want them to see me cry, but still it hurts so much.

I clutched the Tetsusaiga tighter as I felt more warm tears slide past the scratches on my face. This sword was all there was left, the only thing I have left of Inuyasha. I felt a warm presents beside me, wiping the tears away.

"Don't cry Kagome, everything will be all right." Kouga's voice was warm to my ears, concerned for my well being.

I looked over to him, he was holding Shippo, the poor kid must have fell asleep. He looked so worried, sadden by my tears. The pain was so intense I almost wished I had fallen in love with Kouga instead of Inuyasha, then I wouldn't be hurting so much.

I don't want to make anyone sad or worried, I forced my tears aside, "Th-thank you, Kouga-kun." I suppose Kouga and Shippo are my only friends here now, the only one's I have left to depend on.

Sango's scream will forever haunt me; it was awful watching her try and keep Kikyo from taking Inuyasha to hell, the arrow pierced her heart and Kikyo stole her sole. Sango-chan, I'll miss her greatly, she was like the sister I never had. Miss is an understatement, but I don't know how else to describe the intense feeling of sadness I have now and will probably forever have in some part of my heart and mind.

Miroku, gave his life for her, they would have made the perfect couple. I can only imagine how handsome Miroku would be in his wedding attire, how stunning Sango would be in hers, and how beautiful their children would have been.

I forced myself not to cry, and started to push myself up, silently accepting Kouga's help.

Yes, everything would be all right in due time, but right now all is wrong with the world. Right now, the only thing keeping me from joining them is Shippo, my family, and my promise to complete the jewel.

I will try my best to make the world right again.

I will stay strong.

And I will get them back, somehow, someway, one day.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Preview of next chapter:

I wait silently and hope she will return, I hope that she's all right. No matter what happens I will keep my promise to Inuyasha, and I will keep my promise to Kagome. I only hope that the scars on her wounded heart heal, and that she is happy once more.

Please r/r

Ja ne!
