Chapter twenty-six

** My dad once said to me: "Man can survive in the wilderness, but depression is men only down fall. We can push ourselves to survive but not that**

Point of view: The god

The servant all but ran when he called for him, he bowed into the floor till he all but smashed his face into the marble floor.

"Yes Milord" the servant's squeaked into the floor.

"Call for Astros . . . Now!" The god said and smiled as his servant flinched into the floor as he got up. The god started pacing and held the sword tightly in his claws.

"Yes Onuses?" A tall, thin and really young demon asked.

"Hello younger brother, I need you to send your best assassin to kill this lady" The god Onuses said smiling and pointed to a pool of water.

"I need it to look like it was the other woman's fault and I have something to have put on her body" Onuses said and walked over to Sesshomaru and ripped apart of his really bloody kimono sleeve, he through it to his brother.

"Consider the deed done brother" Astros said smiling as he caught the bloody sleeve and walked away.

"You" Sesshomaru started, Onuses put a gag in his mouth that had spells woven through it. Sesshomaru stiffened and glared at him. Onuses turned to the pool and watched everything unfold.

~O~

Point of view: Kagome

"Are you hungry?" Aimi said to me.

"Huh?" I asked and broke my gaze away from Sesshomaru.

"That's the fifth time I asked you that" Aimi said standing over me.

"Oh, did you feed us when I was under?" I asked.

". . . . . No" Aimi said.

"I'll feed him" I said and put my hand on his cold but clammy forehead. She shrugged and walked away to make some lunch. As she did that I combed my fingers through his fine beautiful hair.

"You have such beautiful hair, did you know that? Of course you knew that. I miss you so much; I hope you come back to me soon. I miss your personality, your eyes lighting up, your smirk, even your playful teasing. Did I tell you I kind of enjoy your teasing? I miss your golden eyes, their like the sun. I miss you training me, I miss your poems, and I miss your voice. How could you leave me or want to?" I sighed but it sounded like a sob "How dare you! Damn you! Just like Inuyasha, you leave me! I . . . . Need. . . . You . . . . So. . . . Much" in between the words I sobbed. "When you come . . . . Back and you . . . . . will even if I have to go to hell and back!" I broke down into heart wrenching sobs.

"He did what was best" Aimi said handing me lunch as I sobbed.

"How? How the hell did he do 'what was best'?" I all bit screamed.

"Think about—"Aimi gasped and fell onto the ground. Blood was pouring out of her mouth and there was a sword sticking out of her chest. She was gasping for breath. I rushed towards her and somehow got her breathing again.

"I have to take it out" I said moving to grab the hilt.

"No!" she gasped and grabbed my hand.

"If I can get it out I can bandage you up there for you can heal" I said.

"No, I'll die first before I start to heal" she said.

"I'm so sorry" I whispered.

"You were just being stupid that's all" she said.

"I am not the stupid one! You" I cut myself off as I watched the light die from her eyes.

"Aimi, Aimi, AIMI" I said shaking her uselessly. "Say something! Please!" I cried and held her body close to me. Some part of my brain realized I was sobbing her name, but I couldn't stop. I was still sobbing when I couldn't talk anymore. Sometime after that I stopped sobbing and just stared at her without seeing her, I was numb, so very numb.

When the sun started setting did I get up and yanked the blade out of her back. Some cloth fell to the ground; I knelt down to grab it and held it to the fading sunlight. It looked like it once was white and had flowers on the bottom of the sleeve, with a pang it hit me; it was Sesshomaru's sleeve!

I turned around and all most fell. There the spot that Sesshomaru was laying held nothing but grass. I ran to the spot and touched the crushed grass, it was no longer warm and there was only one thing in its space; blood.

I tipped my head to the sky and let out a heart pulling cry of a hurt animal. I curled around the bloody sleeve and laid there looking at his cold blood. It's my entire fault, I'm the reason Aimi is dead, and I'm the reason Sesshomaru is gone- or killed. It's all my fault, it's always my fault! I can't do anything. I see why everyone left me, just as my father said. I'm cursed, I should just die. Maybe everything will get better if I am dead. I can't hurt anyone if I'm dead right?

~O~

Point of view: Kikyo

I awoke crying out in pain, suffering that was not my own ripped at my being. Something whispered in my mind, pain, so much pain. It pulled at my mind and heart, and my fragile soul. My body was shaking; somehow blood poured out of my body, there was another suffering pulling at me even stronger: it was Kagome.

Everything reeled with pain and confusion. My vision twisted and I screamed out in blinding pain again, it was coming from two sources. One was Kagome but the other ripped at me more painfully then Kagome's.

Something flashed and I was looking out from someone else's eyes. There was a cold white marble floor streaked with blood, my arms- no his arms were pinned down with poison in filled stakes. There was another flash of pain near the chest, I wanted to scream but my mouth- his mouth didn't open. I can't scream, I have to stay strong, I have to! Some velvet voice thought, it was his thoughts!

Red hair spilled over his shoulder mixed with blood as he was whipped again. I mentally whimpered as it struck and his vision flicked with grey.

"W-who's there?" Said his voice, it was weaker than before. The pain hit again, this time it was a stab. I cried out in pain.

"Make it stop!" I pleaded.

"You?" was his only answer. He mentally turned around to look at me. I was curled in on myself and was shaking.

"You're her" he whispered, my eyes widened as I looked into his ice blue eyes. I knew his face too well to not realize who he was. He dropped down to me and gently touches my face. I gasped as he did so, the agony that I always felt that I had to never show eased and only left the pain of the beating.

"You can't be real, she's just trying to hurt me more!" I whimpered into his hand.

"No I am here, I'm real" he whispered brushing a strand of my black hair away from my face. I gasped again as the pain sparked.

"Don't worry it'll be over soon" he said soothingly.

"Maybe I-I can lend you my strength" I moaned in pain.

"No!" he said raising his face.

"Please I- I don't t-think I can take any more of this" I said stuttering in pain.

"It'll take your pain away?" he asked.

"Yes" I gasped.

"How do we do this?" he asked. I closed my eyes and tried to stop a shutter rocking my body. I put my hand over his heart and pushed my whole will and being into him and watched his vision clear. I once again looked through his eyes.

". . . . Do you hear me?" a man roared.

"Yes sir" came out weakly as I slid out of his being and fell into the blackness of my own.
