* I do not own Inuyasha , though I keep trying but he is happy with his original creators ,
though loves to moonlight in my adventures on his nights off .
By Inuyashas Youkai
The Hanyou awoken to the chill ,when his eyes opened he was no longer at
Goshinboku but back at the room cuddled up with his mate . The smile on his face
soon faded as he no longer felt her presence any longer. Kagome looked as though she had when Inuyasha had arrived only now she wasn't moving at all ,no heart beat ,no breathing , hanyou quickly jumped up desperately begged for his fears not to be so.
" NO Kagome !Please no ! " Inuyasha desperately cried while frantically pulling her into his lap and trying to rouse her .
Unfortunately when his clawed fingers had made contact with her skin , to the touch it felt cold ,and her scent had long since left her. Devastation devoured his being as his hysterical sobs for his dead mate ,not wanting to believe that she was gone . Inuyasha's sorrow for his loss ,slowly turning into unbridled hate for Kikyo and for himself ,the hanyou just didn't care anymore . Not when the love of his love and his mate was taken from him, and the worst was that he himself with Kikyo's unwanted help ,sent her away without the chance of ever bringing her back. Slowly rocking his mate's dead body back and forth while trying to send everything he felt inside to her, his love , his regret, and his devastation and longing,now that she was gone to him, while he continued to cry.
" Kagome ,baby please don't leave me , I do need you .." Inuyasha whispered in between chocking sobs.
A lingering scent as the air from the crude window wafted towards his nose interlacing with his and Kagome's ,knowing that was the scent she took after Inuyasha had taken her to be his mate, something else lingered in his wake .The hanyou's eyes widened to the new revelation, that with everything that was going on sidetracked to notice that his mate was carrying his to add to his already raging emotions not only did Inuyasha loose his mate ,Kagome also had taken his pup with back down to look at her forlorn expression, Inuyasha knew now why she needed him so badly for ,during the time space enveloped them, she became pregnant with his child. Soon Inuyasha felt the need to hit something , anything to get this linging tearing in his chest to stop. The hanyou had loosened the ties on his haori and shook it off ,then with one had ,keeping the other supporting his mate ,Inuyasha grabbed it and laid it on the taking his mate ,kissing her on her forehead and laid her down on it.
After she was securely wrapped in his haori ,Inuyasha abruptly got to his hands and knees squeezing his hands into fists until his hands bled. Tears rushed from his eyes in flowing streams . Feeling the pain in his chest only increasing ,jumping up fiercely slammed his fist against the hard stone wall, repeatedly. Only stopping when he took in the darkened shadows upon his mate's beautiful face, to crawl back to her helplessly weakened with the knowledge that he had inadvertantly killed his own mate and child. At first Inuyasha was affraid to touch her, believing he might hurt her more than he has,Kagome now looked so fragile in death. Though strenthened his resolve while trying to mourn his mate and his dead young. Softly stroked his clawed hand against her pale cheek . Too dazed in the fact of memorizing her every detail ,that he missed how badly he damaged his hand ,it was most likely broken covered in blood. Hurriedly noticing the crimson from his hand lingered on her cheek ,Inuyasha took the sleeve of his shirt and wiped it off the best he could .
" Kagome ,I am so sorry . You can't imagine now how much I lothe myself with a passion right now. How I want to tear myself limp from limb until I have taken my last breath for what I let happen to make you think that made you believe that I rejected my own mmmate and Ooour chchild ...Dammit!" Inuyasha started out in a whispering studder then ended with a screaming roar while pounding both fists into the ground ..
" I mean why couldn't I get my head out of my ass and use my god damn nose Kagome . Why didn't I see that bitch coming from miles away,which she will get her's believe me ,Kikyo doesn't know mad until she sees me now. I am .. So..Inuyasha yelled until he was interupted by footsteps.
Slowly turning protectively towards the door ,making sure even though Inuyasha couldn't protect them in life ,the hanyou would certaintly protect them now in death until he could provise them with the proper more so now by the thought ,but as the padding came closer, a feral warning growl escaped his lips .Leaping towards his family's fallen form standing guard,feeling his demon creeping up within him. Storming into the room of his mate and child temporary resting place ,the one who dare rushed in there without announcing themselves , was making a dire to Inuyasha's satisfaction the very person who besides himself he hated now . Sango followed with Miroku trying to stop her knowing that she followed him. Kikyo rushed into the room ,soon realising her mistake as soon as she entered with Sango and Miroku trailing behind.
A lethal growl passed through clenched teeth as his crimson eyes took in her form with sure hatred. The demon thrilled underneath to take vengeance against this woman for killing all that he had ,everything that mattered ,she took away from him..Kikyo would indeed pay for that now. Looking towards his two companions behind her ,Inuyasha eyed them as well making sure they didn't come closer. It was now in his angered and devastated state that he began to see everyone as a threat. Sango pushed passed Kikyo ,not really caring anymore that she was too stupis to heed her warnings. The demonslayer slowly made her way towards the girl in the middle of the room, while Inuyasha was preoccupied with dealing with his past love. Although he wasn't to preoocupied because with one swipe Sango went flying towards the back of the cave wall.
" What the hell Inuyasha ,I am only trying to help Kagome " Sango saidnot knowing what had really occured up to this point.
"Mate . Dead . Pup .Dead. How are You going to help them, now ? They needed help. No help came .I was too late to help them.I lost them . " Inuyasha ferally growled releasing a sorrowful sigh ,while the truth hit home. His mate and child were dead .
There was nothing left for him, hearing Sango gasp when she learned that Kagome was dead ,Inuyasha smirked.
" You protect mate and pup..?" Inuyasha stated noticing that Kikyo's scent left the vacinity.
" Yes I protected your mate when she was alive" Sango said confusedly not knowing with his broken speech what he was getting at.
" Will you protect now ?" Inuyasha looked at her frustratingly shaking his head.
" Yes, Inuyasha I will protect them ."Sango said while gaining closer distance to the fallen miko she known as her sister.
" Good be back .If I come back. You hurt them .I kill you!Inuyasha ferociously growled to accentuate that he was serious then left.
Sango closed the distance to Kagome and pulled her into her arms and cuddled her embrace . Sliding her hand to her pulse point on her wrist to make sure to convince herself and to her defeat, she found no heart beat. Leaning against the wall with her fallen sister she called out for Miroku with sorrow laced in her male monk hahazardly ran into the room from where her screams originated coming into a horrid scene. A lifeless Kagome hung limply within Sango's hold ,while the woman that held her cried helpless tears.
"Miroku they're dead! Sango screamed in between her wails.
Inuyasha rushed to where the hanyou sniffed out her scent , Kikyo had ran into a clearing not more than a few yards away from where he was mourning his loss. A viscious snarl passed through clenched teeth with unbridled anger .Quickly trudging towards Kikyo ,He paused slighty before he carried out with his wrath.
" You killed mate .Slaughtered pup. Both died thinking their mate and father rejected them .Now you die ! "Inuyasha seethed
The enraged Demon ,without warning quickly raced towards his past love with his claws elongated ,ready to strike ,fully letting go of himself to his demon his razor sharp claws into her chest shattering her rib cage, grabbing hold of her heart within her clay body and ripping it out of her chest cavity ,and then throwin it aside. Before he left,Inuyasha had proceeded to severed into pieces all of the soul collectors that remained, and then returned to his mate's side. Within no time , Inuyasha was back into the small confines that he left her with blood and and graveyard soil covering most of his body . The demon didn't bother cleaning himself afterward ,Inuyasha wanted them to see and hoped with everything inside him that his mate could see . Though he knew the time for that was too late , sadly they left him believing that Inuyasha didn't want them . How could he not want them they were his, Kagome and his unborn child were his only mate and and child ,Inuyasha could ever have ,and they were gone.
Defeatedly Inuyasha walked back into the room , noticing that another besides the one he left her with was also in the room . Unhappily noticing this while stalking towards his mate ,though because she wasn't harmed any futher Inuyasha didn't seem to care ,while taking the woman back from Sango's arms, cuddling her to him within his embrace.
"Inuyasha ,how did this happen?" Miroku asked
Slightly annoyed with the sudden request to be reminded him of his mates death ,Inuyasha looked towards the person speaking and growled then painfully sighed into the woman's neck ,where his mark once was.
" With our kind when mates our bonded we are subject to fever in the event they are rejected ,if not taken care of mate dies . But I didn't reject mate only tried to protect her and that Bitch took adavantage of it causing mate to believe I rejected what was mine .. I too late to stop ,to help mate and mate and pup ,no more . I have nothing left ..lost pup ..lost mate. Mate die .Pup Die .Both die thinking I didn't want them but wanted bitch. But I hate bitch ..I hate me .. I loved mate loved pup but did'nt know about pup until they were gone . I needed them .I missed them . Still do . Don't know what to do now ..want to die to be with mate and pup to tell them so. Want pain of them not here to stop.." Inuyasha whispered before raising his head to the air and howled to the atmosphere a very mournful cry.
Unknown to him ,a very faint heartbeat began to pound lightly within Kagome's chest ,soon being joined with another. Inuyasha knew he should take care of his mate's and pup's final resting place but the demon that was slowly giving way back to his hanyou self ,once again could'nt find the heart to let her go just yet.
