A/N: Yes, Inuyasha does manage to kill himself. Yes, he will be alive when Kagome returns to the past. Remember Sesshomaru has a sword with certain redeeming qualities. This part of the story will take three chapters: the suicide (1) and the revival (2). Also this is a painful story, if suicide and depression offend you, don't read it.
Chapter 10: Successful Suicide
Upon arrival back at the castle after the wedding, I was treated to the token scorn I have felt since my original entrance. Even after a month, I feel no more at home here than I do anywhere else. I had attempted to explain things to Kaede hoping for advice. She told me that I would be allowed in the village whenever I want, but I don't want that place of nightmares anymore.
I have been back for a couple of days and am already being threatened. I have resigned myself to my quarters for the time being. Yet again, all I have time for is inspection of a sharp object which conveniently is strapped to my hip. I have the sword out of its sheath right now looking at the sharp edge of the sword. I have come to a decision, since I'm a burden to everyone, I will no longer burden people.
I grab the hilt of my sword and turn the edge to point in toward my stomach. With one smooth jab I push it into my diaphragm just below my ribs. Now it's only a matter of time before life saps away.
