Chapter 20

Last Breath

InuYasha dodged her attacks. He ran zigzag and jumped all around. Ryota watch with pleasure. InuYasha started to noticed Kagome's speed was increasing with every attack.

"There's still hope!" He said. He pulled out Tessaiga.

"If you get a sword, I get to have a weapon too. Why not... a bow." She said mischievous.

"You can die by the hands of your second love just like your first!" She yelled as a bow appeared out of nowhere. It was her spiritual power.

"Kagome!" InuYasha yelled. Ryota sighed.

"Kagome's not in there anymore "Dog." She just told you so." Ryota said in annoyance.

"Shut up!" InuYasha yelled as he jumped away from Kagome. She started getting ready to fire. InuYasha turned to look at Kagome as she let go of the arrow. InuYasha barely dodged it. The arrow was so fast, it grazed his arm. He winced in pain as he held his arm. He turned and saw her getting ready to fire again. He jumped as she fired. She missed him again.

"In a fight, you're supposed to attack the attacker... you know that right? This game is getting pretty boring." She said as she yond. The bow disappeared and then she appeared right in front of InuYasha. She took her claws and clawed him right down the middle of his chest. He yelled in pain as he hit the ground.

"You're not challenging, but that's to be expected from a half breed." She said as she walked up to his side,

"Time to finish you off." She said as she made the bow appear." InuYasha was at a lose. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't hurt her. He just laid there as he had expected his end.

"Die InuYasha!" She yelled. InuYasha waited for the pain with closed eyes, but it never came. He opened his eyes and saw tears in her eyes. She was shaking. Her eyes were still red and the bow was still in her hand, but she was frozen in place.

"Inu... Yasha..." she managed to say.

"Run... away..." she said as she slowly pulled the bow back. InuYasha saw she was struggling.

QKagome opened her eyes and saw she was in a dark abyss. There was nothing around her and the only thing she could hear was her own thoughts.

"I'm the second choice."

"I'm no one."

"He never loved me."

"I hate him." She cryer as the thoughts got louder and louder. She curled up into a ball and tried to remember all the happiness in her life, but she couldn't remember anything. All she could think about was hatred. She felt broken, betrayed, lost, angry, sad.

"I can't lose you." She froze to the sound of those words. They were the only words she could remember but she couldn't recognize the voice. She thought hard.

"Kagome!" She heard as she turned around. She saw a boy with white hair, dog ears, a read robe and pants, with bare feet. He was starting right at her with a sword in his hand.

"Who is he?" She asked herself sat she look at him. The words I can't lose you came to mind again. She watched as the boy raged back and for from an attack. An arrow appeared and shot, it grazed his arm. Another arrow appeared and missed. The boy then appeared in front of her until someone clawed him right down the chest. She slowly approached the boy and looked at him as he slowly closed his eyes.

"Die InuYasha!" Everything froze. She started to cry again.

"InuYasha!" She cried out as she remembered everything now. She then remembered why she was mad in the first play.

"He would never do that!" Kagome fought with herself on the inside.

"I have to help him!" Kagome cried as she thought of something.

"Inu... Yasha..." she managed to say as she started to take control of her own body again.

"Oh no you don't!" She heard a deep voice say.

"Your mine now." She started to lose control again.

"Run... away..." she managed to say before she couldn't control her body once again.

"No!" He said as he lifted his hands and wiped away her tears. She could feel it even when she wasn't in control anymore.

"We stick together." He said as he pushed Kagome off of him. He turned towards Ryota as he remembered what he had to do.

"Go back to where you're from you pest!" InuYasha yelled as he swung Tessaiga.

"Meido Zangetsuha!" He yelled as his sword hit the ground. Ryota look at him in surprise as an enormous black hole appeared behind him.

"You're not supposed to know that trick!" Ryota cried as he started getting sucked into to hole. InuYasha started to turn around when he felt a sharp pain through the chest. He gasped in pain and then coughed up blood. He turned and saw Kagome making her bow disappear with tears in her eyes. Her eyes started to turn to normal.

"InuYasha!" She gasped when she had control over her own body again. She ran over to him and hugged him. He hugged her back. She let go and pulled of his robe and undershirt to see his Chest. He had a massive hole going right through it.

"InuYasha!" Kagome cried.

"I will be ok." He said as he looked at Ryota.

"Noooooooooo!" He yelled and then the portal closed. InuYasha looked back at Kagome. She still had long hair, ears, and fangs. The only difference was, her unbalanced demonic energy was gone. He coughed up blood again.

"InuYasha!" Kagome still cried as she hugged him.

"I'm so, so sorry." InuYasha hugged her back he he leaned on her.

"It's not your fault." He said as he started to tell his body get heavy. His eyes started to close unwillingly.

"Kagome." InuYasha passed as his eyes closed.

"I love you." He said as he took his last breath.
