Flashback:
When Inuyasha ran in the direction of the scent he knew he had to end it for good. He had had fully enough of said demon and he had enough rage pumping through his veins to finish the hanyou off by himself…or so he thought.
When he stumbled upon the clearing he didn't see anything. It was eerily quiet. He had a bad feeling about and sniffed the air around him; he froze suddenly and gasped spinning to the right of him. He smelled Kagome's scent.
He saw her but the look in her eyes was distant and she had cuts aligning both of her arms. "Kagome!" he yelled, running up to her. He wrapped his arms around her, shutting his eyes and embracing her warmth. He sniffed her hair and he felt suddenly like there was something wrong with her smell. Sniffing again it confirmed his fears…
This wasn't Kagome. It was someone or something pretending to be Kagome.
He growled at the imposter and she hastily stepped back, her eyes looked dead and out of nowhere a small smile stretched across her features. Inuyasha couldn't deny that it was the replica of his friend and it pulled at his heart strings. He wished he could have torn his eyes away from the look alike, but he couldn't, he missed his friend too much and had forgotten what touching her did to him.
Reaching out his claw her touched her face. The pain tore at his heart as he watched her smile again. Then…suddenly…she started bleeding.
The blood first appeared on the sides of her head soaking her hair. Then, it continued down her neck and on the right side was a gaping hole, the exact spot where Sesshomaru had marked her. Inuyasha watched wide-eyed as the replica bled out in front of him. She continued to bleed until her front was completely covered and then the area between her thighs started to drip with crimson.
Inuyashas heart lurched and he instantly felt sick to his stomach. He felt like he was looking into a mirror of what had befallen his love.
Her mouth opened and a bow appeared suddenly in her right hand. "W-why didn't you protect me Inuyasha?" she whispered. His breath hitched and he stepped back, her eyes were no longer lifeless and he was staring fully at Kagome. Tears fell from her hazel orbs and then turned to blood.
The blood in between her legs increased until she cried out. Inuyasha stumbled to her fallen form, shaking her. Her eyes snapped open and she pushed him off of her. "You didn't protect me; you promised you would…now I'm lost a long with Kikyo."
The words hit Inuyasha because they were true. And when she raised his bow he didn't even notice.
"Die…Inuyasha." She raised the bow and leveled it with his chest.
She strung the bow and pulled the string as far back as it would go.
Inuyasha didn't move to run, he didn't move at all. He had let Kagome down and now...now she was gone. He had let another woman that he had loved down. He wanted to die; he didn't want to fight Naraku anymore, what was the point? He had nothing to come back to. How could he look his friends in the face and tell them Kagome was dead. He couldn't blame Sesshomaru anymore; he couldn't control what couldn't be controlled.
He knew that himself.
Watching her string the arrow and pull back the bow he shut his eyes, 'I love you Kagome and I'm sorry that I couldn't save you…'
That was the last thing he thought when he felt the arrow rip through his chest. Gasping, he felt the blood pour from his heart.
The imposter Kagome vanished as soon as the arrow hit him.
Naraku settled back into his original form and watched from the trees as the hanyou bled to death. He chuckled and knew his life was leaving him and just in case he did live Naraku planned to take his body along with him back to the castle.
He watched longer as the blood stained the grass beneath Inuyasha, he was spluttering blood and touching the arrow with his claws. The blood pooled out faster as he shifted.
Suddenly, a minute later Inuyasha felt the light leave him.
Naraku let a howling laugh into the night.
Inuyasha was dead.
Now, that's it, everyone knows what he did now.
Tell me what you think.
I love you!
