If this was our last good bye
no more tears to dry
I would say it one more time
it's been more than fine
how could've known
how could've shown say what you will before its too late
All the time that I was holding back
just trying to protect myself
I want you to know that I loved you more than that
-Say what you will, Damhnait Doyle
'How could you Kagome.' he whispered. Kagome turned in the darkness trying to find the source of the voice. 'I thought you loved me, but you've betrayed me.' came another whisper.
"Inuyasha?" she called, frantically searching for the location of his voice. It seemed to be all around her at once like an echo bouncing off walls.
'I should have known you would be like she was.' he whispered before his form slowly came into view.
"No, it's not what you think Inuyasha! I loved you with all my heart." Kagome cried, her body shaking with emotion as she looked upon her first love.
"Keh, sure ya did I'm not blind I can see you and Sesshomaru together." he stated, his arms crossed.
Kagome stared at him in disbelief. She never thought she would see him again. The darkness surrounding them formed into a dark blue sky shining with silvery stars and a large milky moon. Kagome looked around at the beauty that surrounded them. "Is this real or am I dreaming?" she asked herself out loud. Inuyasha sighed and approached her.
"I'm dead Kagome, and I died without telling you just how important you really were to me. I...I loved you, and I hurt you by not telling you that. I was afraid that I would be the one that got hurt. As much as it kills me to say this. I think you should stay with my bastard brother. He seems to be loyal to those he cares about, even though I don't like the idea." he said, his eyes shining with unshed tears. Kagome wrapped her arms around him and he returned the gesture. "I know you didn't betray me Kagome. I'm just jealous that he gets the place by your side." He added. He tightened his embrace.
"You'll always be in my heart Inuyasha." she whispered, while tears ran freely down her face. "I wish you were still with me."
"I think you should know that Naraku won't hide much longer. He knows Kagome. He knows everything about you and Sesshomaru. He even knows about the brat you found." He explained as he moved away from her.
"Thank you Inuyasha." Kagome said. He turned and looked at her, a smirk on his face.
"Don't mention it." he said. He kissed her lips before disappearing.
Kagome woke with a start and looked around. She sighed when she realized she was in Kaili's cave with Sesshomaru lying next to her back with the baby lying next to her chest. The morning sun was beginning to creep into the entrance.
"You were dreaming of him." came the sleep deepened voice of Sesshomaru. Kagome looked over her shoulder at him.
"He told me that I should be with you, and that Naraku was planning on showing himself soon." She said truthfully. He gave her a nod before he stood and stretched his unclothed form. Kagome smiled as she took in his body.
"That's all mine." she thought to herself. She stood and quickly dressed into a white yukata adorned with red maple leaves and a deep orange obi.
Today was hopefully just the beginning of their new lives together as one.
