Just so you know, this is 1 year later and at the beginning of the story, Kenkako and Sesshomaru had only known each other for a few days. In that case, it's been mostly a year.

Chapter Nineteen: 1 year later
It has been twelve months, since Kenkako had arrived at the hospital, and Kenkako still hasn't recovered from her sickness. She still had her hair down, and she never put it in a ponytail ever since she first arrived at the hospital. Each month, she would feel even more pain than before, and she would feel a lot weaker. Kenkako had gotten the feeling that she wasn't going to be alive for much longer and she was scared. The only thing that helped her feel safe and happy was Sesshomaru, coming to the hospital every day. Even though Sesshomaru had to go back to the past every once and a while, he would always return…, until one night.
It was dark, and Kenkako wasn't strong enough to stand up. Sesshomaru was usually there before sunset, but the sun had set only a few hours ago. After Kenkako was about to try and stand up, Kagome ran into the room as fast as she could saying, "KENKAKO! SESSHOMARU NEEDS YOUR HELP! Naraku has severely injured him and everyone else! Onegai, you gotta come back to the past!" Kenkako slowly nodded her head, as Kagome rushed to her side to help her up and rushed to the window, where Kilala was waiting. Some how, Kagome was able to bring Kilala to the future.
As Kagome and Kenkako got on Kilala, they flew through the sky high enough for the clouds to easily cover them. Kenkako was having trouble breathing as they raced through the night sky, but tried her best to keep herself alive and well, even if she didn't have that much time left to live. 'I know…, I know that I might not see the light of another day. Demo, I have to save Sesshomaru. This is something that I can do to repay Sesshomaru for all that he's done for me.'
"Kenkako, daijouka? You can barely breathe." Kagome asked.
"I fine…, we need to go faster, Kagome. Naraku might have already hurt Sesshomaru even more." Kenkako said.
"Hai!" Kagome said as Kilala flew even faster than she ever did before.
It wasn't long, before they arrived at the well, and Kagome had helped Kenkako get into the well, with Kilala leading the way. As the well started to glow a bright blue color, Kenkako felt the sharp pain in her shoulder again, and tried her best not to scream. The pain was a lot worse than it had ever been, and Kenkako could feel her heart starting to slow down.
"Kagome! Tell Kilala to go faster!" Kenkako yelled.
"Hai."
Kilala was going even faster than before, but knew why Kenkako wanted her to go faster. Kilala knew that Kenkako wasn't going to live that much longer.
As Kilala entering the clearing where Sesshomaru, InuYasha, Miroku, and Sango were (all severely injured), the pain in Kenkako's shoulder was even worse. The pain was lasting even longer, and was getting a lot worse. Sesshomaru was surprised to see Kenkako coming into the clearing, even with Naraku just a few feet away from her.
"Kenkako! Get away from here! Naraku will kill you if you come here!" Sesshomaru yelled.
Kenkako heard Sesshomaru, but didn't answer him, and didn't turn away. When Kenkako landed on the ground, and Kagome helped her off of Kilala, Kenkako had a little bit of a struggle to stand up, but luckily, Kagome helped her stay up.
"*evil giggle* Well, well, well, if it isn't Kenkako coming to the rescue. You don't have chance to save all these pathetic souls." Naraku said.
"Naraku, I won't let you get away after what you did to Sesshomaru!" Kenkako said weakly.
Sesshomaru just stared at Kenkako as she said those few words to Naraku. 'Naze is Kagome helping Kenkako stand up?… Iie, Iie, it can't be. Kenkako can't die!' Sesshomaru tried to stand up, but couldn't help but to fall back to the ground. Sesshomaru had his sword, Toukijin, in the ground to help him stay up and had his right knee on the ground, and his left hand on his left knee. Sesshomaru was about to say something to Kenkako, until she said, "Naraku, for what you have done, I will not let you win this battle."
"He, do you really think that you can beat me? Even killing your family was easy enough for me." Naraku laughed out.
"Nani? It was you who killed my family?" Kenkako asked weakly.
"Hai, it was. Enough though your family was once great warriors, they are now just a big pile of ashes." Naraku laughed out again.
Kenkako was even more angry than before and took a few steps forward, leaving Kagome in the same spot she was in. Everyone was surprised to see Kenkako leaving Kagome, and walking slowly and weakly towards Naraku. Naraku was also surprised at Kenkako's actions, but knew that she was very weak and could easily destroy her…, or so he thought.
Onegai= please
Demo= but
Daijouka= are you okay?
Hai= yes
Naze= why
Nani= what
