That Girl

Kagome and Ikuto

Requested by TsukiyoTenshi and Me

Summary:

The clock is ticking and the world is ending. These are their last moments...together...always together.


They were running, how far? They didn't know. Kagome squeezed Ikuto's hand. He squeezed back softly. She closed her eyes and prepared to look back at the mass destruction. Buildings had collapsed, the ground kept swallowing people and all that blood…She looked at the body just behind her of poor little Souta. She felt a sob building up and- Ikuto rubbed her back soothingly and Kagome gave a wavering smile. It was the end of the world and not even a time travelling miko or a chara-holding boy could do anything about it.

"We're going to be okay, we're going to get through this," Ikuto said, but they both knew he was lying. What was the point of running anyway, when in the end they too would die? Yet, they kept going, just to keep living even if it was only a few seconds. Kagome had lost her usual personality, the one full of positive thinking, and Ikuto had lost his laidback attitude. They were just two people running for their lives. Trying to cheat kami-sama, even though they knew that was impossible. It could never happen. Ever.

They thought back to just yesterday, full of promises and life. That was all snatched away in the next twenty-four hours. The grey clouds grumbled loudly and screams pierced their ears. By now, they were used to it. It would be strange if someone had said that yesterday. But there was no yesterday anymore, just a dreadful present and no future.

"You know," started Ikuto with a hysterical laugh, "It doesn't matter if we die, we'll always be together."

Kagome looked at him, "Come on, let's not dwell on this alive." She grabbed his hand and dragged him, until he quickened his pace, sanity coming back and she let go.

"But I'm serious," he said still running, "We will be together, always." Kagome was the one that stopped.

"Ikuto…"she breathed in awe.

Ikuto laughed, his laidback posture kicking in, and grabbed her hand, "Come on!"

And, even though their family was dead.

Even though the WORLD was dead.

They had each other, and that's what matters. Even on the verge of death, they would always be together, and that's how that could laugh at death.

The world was closing in on them and there was a very limited air supply by now. Kagome stopped, and Ikuto looked at her in panic.

"Get up, Kagome!" he hissed.

"I-I c-can't g-go o-on," her breathing choppy from all that running and air shortage. She clutched her stomach trying to get back to normal and then it happened. The ground caved in from under Kagome's feet, an 'O' was formed in her mouth before she fell. Ikuto grabbed her just in time.

"I guess it's time," stated Ikuto rather calmly.

"I suppose so," she gave him a grimace mixed with a smile.

Ikuto laughed, "I'm glad I met you."

"Yeah…" Kagome looked at his face and sighed.

"Me too!" Kagome beamed.

A bright light enveloped them as they fell. Their hands constantly entwined.


Aww, no don't die! I got this after I heard that we might die this year according to an ancient clan, but I don't believe it, however I did create this.

AnimeFreakAmanda's Deidara fic she wanted is next :).

Till next time,
