Rating:T, for minor mature language. Much angst, death, and blood shed. Do not ask me for a lemon. I will not put one in. Thank you!
To Flamers note/s:Say what you wish, comments are supposed to be constructive criticism anyway. As far I see; if I don't like a story I stop reading. I don't tell a person how bad they are and tell them to leave it to the people who really know how to write. And in that instance those people only know how to write because they learned from a good constructive criticism. So, as far as flamers go, you all are just those people who wish they could write, but they can't so they go around and act like they are the biggest hot shots in the world. Well heads up buddy, you're not. So, you can all pull your heads out of your butts and move on with your life.
Because your not going to get to me. Have a nice day.
Disclaimer:To get all sense of being cocky out now so it is not reflected into my story, I will say that if I owned Inuyasha and the gang, I can guarantee I wouldn't be sitting here writing this. And for so writing said story below, I do not own Inuyasha. True ownership belongs to the amazing Rumiko Takahashi. As well as to the song I have put below, I do not own it either. Ownership belongs to the artist. The only thing I own would be the writing of this story. Thank you.

Chapter 1--- How to kill a woman, step one…:
In her hand held what had been her soul purpose for life for the past year. Everything she had worked up for lay broken and withered in her hands, and there was nothing she could do about it. Her chocolate brown orbs wept out salty, crisp tears onto the fragile chest of a true reason to breathe.
Delicate gasps that threatened to disintegrate at any moment, flustered deep into her chest, overcome with the agony of heartbreak multiplied by a cloud of anger and betrayal. And she pushed herself to wonder how she constantly made everything she loved hurt…
Don't take my roses away….
The week had started as any other would. Several dirty words were emitted from the mouth of the brash hanyou known only as Inuyasha, sending the naïve, young miko, Kagome, into a fit of rage. Only to end in the demise of many layers of dirt as his head was shoved roughly four feet beneath the walking surface.
Feeling flustered and full of bent up rage Kagome walked her way to the God Tree, her dearest prevalent sister following solemnly behind her, words of kindness and reason coming from her lips. The Monk stay behind, awaiting for the moment his arrogant, young friend would awaken from his crash landing sleep.
Kagome lay her hand upon the god tree with a sigh, rosy pink lips closing with a soft tip of sadness. Sango looked to her with a suspire as well, putting an arm around her she closed her eyes.
"You know how Inuyasha is Kagome. He really has a kind heart; he just doesn't know how to show you. Why else would he save you day after day? It's not all the jewel; he didn't have to save you from Takimaru of Setsuna, now did he? Or all those times you were possessed, he never stopped trying to help you."
Kagome looked to her sister with a sad smile and simply nodded her head. She closed her glassy eyes for a long sigh. Only when she had readied herself did she open them once more, but only a tad.
"You know Sango, all those times; it really could have been from the jewel. I mean I was wearing the jewel fragments almost every time he saved me."
Sango smiled coyly, her eyes laughing a bit. The girl was so stubborn sometimes.
"Ah, yes Kagome, but you were not wearing the jewel shards on you when Sounga appeared in your time. And you were only possessed by the shards once, the other time he tried to save you was because Subaki sent the snake curse upon you." Sango titled her head to look into her friend's face, laughing she watched a deep flush of red creep across her cheeks.
She knew when she was right, but it was still cute to watch the blush upon her cheeks.
"I suppose your right. Thanks Sango, I guess I feel a little better. But he still can be an insensitive jerk." Sango laughed and nodded her head; she knew all to well. At least the way he acted didn't effect Kagome's own feelings for him.
They both linked arms, a calm, but rejuvenated smile appearing upon Kagome's lips. But, upon the first few steps Sango exchanged her glance from Kagome, to the large dust tornado ripping up the ground as it flew towards them.
Which only meant the loveable, yet cocky to a point where any normal person would want to take a pin and gouge out their eyes, Koga was on his way to see his dear sweet Kagome.
The dust disappeared, revealing a handsome young wolf demon, smiling to the women, nose up and eyes wide.
"Kagome!" He exclaimed happily, rudely pushing Sango to the side at a quick chance at Kagome's hand. Sango glared and sat back where she had landed.
Kagome's sweat dropped as she pushed on a false smile as to please him.
"Oh…Koga, hi." His eyes shone with something strange as he lifted on hand to push a stray hair from Kagome confused eyes. He looked down at her with a soft smile, taking her hands into his own.
"Today Kagome, I will kill that insolent puppy and take you as my own." Kagome sighed and huffed a little. It was always the same. Kagome put on a happy look again and looked to him.
"Oh Koga, um…I don't think…" He put a finger to her lips and looked into her eyes. Kagome was starting to get an eerie feeling. Sango stood up; something was different about Koga today. He began to lean his head down; his lips plump for a kiss. Kagome's eyes widened as she screamed mentally to move from his heated kiss to be.
Okay, it was time for Inuyasha now…
"Hey! Away from Kagome you Mangy mutt!" Within a flash the Tetsiaga crossed their arms apart, much to the relief of Kagome.
Right on cue…
Koga growled and jumped back, muscled legs flying in the air, and landing with an elegant bounce. Standing he smiled, brows clenched, nose curled.
"And why would I do that? She's my mate!" He yelled out, his fists already made as Inuyasha stood protectively before Kagome, fangs rearing from his tanned lips.
"You wish! Stay away from her you nasty wolf!" He yelled out, charging with a battle cry, his sword high in the air. Koga quickly dodged it, his calm demeanor never changing. It was if…he was just playing with Inuyasha…
Kagome looked scanned Koga up and down. She looked at his legs, nothing new, his feet, nope, his upper body, un uh, his arms…no….wait!
"Inuyasha!" He turned his head to look at a frantic Kagome, her eyes wide. In a spit of non-paying-attention, Koga took a swift hit to Inuyasha's head with his fist, sending Inuyasha plummeting with speeds unknown to the ground. He slid several feet away. Growling he shook his head, jaw dripping blood.
"He's got another jewel shard in his arm!" Inuyasha's eyes went saucer as he looked to the wolf with angry and confused eyes.
"How did you get another shard of the jewel? Naraku is the only other person besides us with a jewel shard!" Koga smirked and punched the ground, sending a large sonic blast of ground towards Inuyasha. He cursed and flipped himself to the side, just barely missing it in time. But in a curse of luck it instead went straight to Kagome.
Kagome screamed, but in a split second of light Miroku, whom had been dormant throughout the scene until now, flew across the soon to be barren area, picking her up as he went. They just barely as well missed it.
Kagome took a deep breath and smiled to Miroku who laid beside her, panting for air.
"Thanks Miroku…" she sighed and wiped a bead of sweat from her brow.
"No problem Lady Kagome…" He held his head back and breathed deep, running so fast a hard effort in his current long purple robe. It always was.
Their attention returned to the fighting enemies as Inuyasha charged Koga once more, battle cry much louder this time.
"You stupid wolf! That almost hit Kagome." Inuyasha brought the Tetsiaga down upon him, only to be skillfully dodged once more by jewel power induced legs.
"Don't move next time, then she won't get hit!" He growled a bit and came down from his jump for a kick. Inuyasha grabbed his leg, but was met with Koga's infuriated fist. His whole body fell as Koga's previous kick met him square in the chest.
Inuyasha yelled out as his back cracked dangerously beneath the pressure exerted to his chest. His eyes closed as his hair fell before his eyes. Pain racked through his entire body, as though someone had just thrown him into a pit of fire.
Shaking, he pushed
himself back up. A blood wound found itself attached to Inuyasha's
chest. He arms shook, convulsing, as he grunted to his feet. He
looked to Koga, an even more, if possible, angered look piercing into
his eyes.
He pulled his sword high; his arms still pained, and
slammed it down.
"Wind Scar!" The words seemed to almost echo as he yelled them out into the air, his bangs still covering his eyes.
A large yellow blast flew from the sword; the ground ripping up as it came across its path. The lightning reminisce glowed and cracked around it as it made right for Koga. Koga stood, smirking, but when the blast was gone and the light had returned to it's former glory, Koga wasn't standing there anymore.
Inuyasha smiled in triumph, but all else were quiet. It wasn't until after a few moments did Inuyasha look down to see Koga's fist, embedded deep into his back, and out the other side, into his abdomen. He made a small noise as Koga roughly yanked his fist out, smiling as he went. The motions made as Inuyasha fell went silent and slow, he looked up at his tormentor, then to his friends, and then to his…Kagome.
As though time had stopped completely, the beads split from around his neck, and began to roll off the string holding them. A small collection of small purple and white embers flew around Inuyasha, the chains that linked him to Kagome…were finally gone. And now…now he only felt cold…
He coughed violently when he finally hit ground, rather hard actually. Blood spurt from his lips as he hacked on. Something wasn't right, why was this so bad? He hadn't felt this weak after a punch since Koga's hit with the miasma shard that Naraku tricked him into believing was a real one. No…he had felt like this when Sesshomaru slammed his own hand through his stomach. But…Sesshomaru had poison in his claws…
Looking beside him he watched as his blood dripped from Koga's hands, a large, demonic smirk upon his cocky lips. But, in the process he watched as a green liquid oozed off his claws as well. Inuyasha's eyes would have widened, if they weren't busy wincing from the pain.
Koga caught his gaze and his smirk increased a tad. He bent his knees and over looked Inuyasha's sweat stricken face. His deep brown eyes shone with a triumphant glare, but his lips playfully nipped out fangs, smiling like a predator would his kill…
…There's no kindness in your eyes, and when you look at me, it's just not right…
"I see you've noticed. See this shard here? It's from the back of a malice induced little boy. It had a deep dark glow to it and turns out it put some poison into these veins. You may have been able to walk away from my other hits, puppy…" He paused and leaned closer to Inuyasha's face, his victory making his true colors appear, "but you won't even be moving again after this."
He smiled and slammed his fist down again, this time only, into Inuyasha's forehead. You could hear a buried crack scream out as Koga removed his hand. Kagome gasped loud as the dust finally cleared; it was as if it had all gone in slow motion. She tried to move, to stop him, but when she'd watched Koga jump in the air, over Inuyasha's head and behind him, she felt like she couldn't breathe. But now…now she felt like she couldn't even see, let alone breathe…
It all went so fast, the hit, the scream, the pain…But what got to her the most, was when the one true substance that held her to her love…was gone. It was if they were floating around her, laughing at her tears and shock to not speak. It was…blighted…
She pushed herself up; her trance crumbling as she watched the broken figure of Inuyasha lay below Koga's heated gaze. She nearly screamed as she softly shoved Koga out of her way, holding her body to Inuyasha as he struggled to breathe. Koga merely shrugged it off and watched her cry. As far as he was concerned, the pup had it coming.
Meanwhile Miroku and Sango sat silent. Miroku watching Sango with a deep concern. Her skin had paled, her eyes had sharpened, and her figure at stopped moving. She looked like she wasn't even breathing. Miroku had called out her name many times, but she had yet to answer once.
In the process of his worry, Sango sat in a trance herself; her mind's triggers working in a way that she didn't want them too. Koga had mentioned the shard being in the back of a little boy…That was all she could get to cross in her mind. She hoped to death, she hoped to heave, and she hoped to the underworld that it wasn't what was playing in her mind…
Miroku quickly grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her rapidly.
"Sango! Sango, wake up Inuyasha needs our help!" Sango shook her head and looked to where the mangled body of her friend lay. Nearly pushing Miroku, she ran to him, her eyes shone within an unknown worry she had only felt once before. Miroku joined then seconds later and they all sat over their broken friend.
Kagome's tears fell silently upon his chest as she looked down at her best friend, her brother, and her love…and we've brought ourselves full circle…pain the only thing turning it around….
And the question still burned at her heart; how did she always hurt everything that ever meant anything to her. Thinking upon it she realized, that everything here, right now, was all her fault. She had been the one whom had not listened to Keade and walked off without Inuyasha her second day here. She had been the one who broke the jewel beneath the crow's breast. She had been the one who let the shards fall into so many people's hands…so many people who never even gotten a look at the jewel, let alone get to keep pieces of it.
It was her fault Naraku got the shards and turned himself to a young lord's form. Sending Sango's family to their death. It was her fault that now Kohaku's only life force lay beneath Koga's wrist. It was her fault Sango would never be able to hug her little brother again, while she could go home and hug her's tight and never have to leave him like that. It was her fault that Shippo's, who lay in Keade's hut fast asleep, parents lay buried beneath the earth because she let the jewel shards get into the hands of the thunder brothers. It was her soul that Onigumo loved so much in the form of Kikyo, and so Naraku was born. He in turn, turned into the form of a beautiful woman, and piercing Miroku's grandfather with the hellhole in his hand. Therefore killing off his Miroku's grandfather, father, and soon to be him himself!
And now it lay herself to be the one, thanks to her breaking of the jewel, her fault that the man she had loved for what seemed like a century, lay dying in her arms…
She deserved this pain…Weeping uncontrollably she laid her head on his blood chest, her own chest irritating with the broken trouble to respire. But to more then one surprise, a soft clawed hand reached down and ran slowly down her hair. Her head shot up and her eyes flew to his own melting amber ones. She let more tears fall as she watched him push on a smile, just for her.
He stroked her hair, meanwhile still coughing, and blood running down his face. His eyes spiked with pain as her smiled for her. His own tears refused to fall for him. It seemed a little unfair.
"Oh, Inu-Inuya-yasha, I'm so s-sorry." She choked out the words beneath her tears. Miroku and Sango sat silent, speechless and seemingly just as heartbroken.
But no one could even muster how much hurt Kagome was feeling right then.
"Kagome…" He coughed, blood splurging onto his chest. His eyes seemed to speak for him as he looked into her chocolate ones. "I…I'm so, so glad, I" He coughed again, but more blood poured out this time, his lips a ruby shine. "I could see you, you, on last, st-time…" He didn't want to admit it, but he knew he was going to die. There was no getting around it this time, he may have been half demon…but his human side had died several minutes ago…
Kagome's tears seemed unstopped as she looked to this man below her. This broken and beautiful man…
"Kagome…I" Still coughing his body convulsed a bit, his body breaking more and more as he spoke. Kagome couldn't speak, all she could do was watch this wondrous boy die in her arms…"I, lov..love you." Kagome's broke out into a new fresh set of tears, her puffy eyes seeming to explode with the pain she was feeling.
"Oh, Inuyasha…please…don't do this, don't leave…" She tried pushing out the words, all she could handle was to hold off her stutter for a bit.
Inuyasha smiled again and ran his fingers through her ebony tresses. Her tears stained his brilliantly red kimono, but her staining different then the blood. They were crisp, clean, and beautiful. She buried her face in his hair as she leaned down, hugging his whole body. Her lips parted and she whispered in his blood-dripped ear.
"I love you…I love you more then you could ever imagine..." Her tears nearly choked out the last part as she kissed his cheek. Inuyasha's eyes brightened, just the slightest as she brought her head up to look into his eyes.
Sango and Miroku sat silent still, Sango's hand enlaced in Miroku's own, her grip near crushing. She hid her head in the crook of his neck, silent tears rolled down her cheeks as she wept for one of her best friends, as well as for her little brother. Miroku's face lay hidden beneath his bangs, but on the brim of his chin, you could see silent tears rolling off and onto his robes…
And with that,
Inuyasha laid his hand upon Kagome's cheek, and closed his eyes.
Within seconds his body stopped convulsing, his chest stopped
gasping, and his smile stayed plastered to his face,
forevermore.
Kagome stopped breathing for a moment, and that,
that is when she knew that her heart had died with him. And she
thought she would never truly live again…
A deep clear of a throat broke them from their tear-persuaded ecstasy. Koga stood with his arms crossed, a bored expression played across his face. He looked down to the weeping clan of people below him. His chest was held high as the muscles in his legs twitched.
…There's a stranger in my life…His heated glare was turned soft as he looked to Kagome. His chin tilted down a bit as his arms shifted a tad.
"Kagome stand up. It is time to leave." Kagome's lower lip quivered as she stared up into a man she could never think of as heartless.
But that's exactly what he was.
Her eyes slipped out a few more tears as she looked down to the cold, smiling man before her. Her finger's traced his lips softly before turning back to Koga. Her gaze looked…dead. As though she was looking right through him.
Which was exactly what she was trying to do.
She couldn't understand how a man whom had proclaimed his burning passion for her for so long, could just go up, and destroy all she ever truly loved. How he could literally just take her heart and crush it into his big hands. She wanted to glare, but all she could do was stare, think...hate.
Slowly she averted her gaze from him and to the man below her one last time. She leaned down, and where her finger's had previously been, her lips laid themselves, for the true first, and last time. She looked down into the closed eyes of this truly beautiful man, and closed her own, placing a blessing upon his soul.
He deserved at least that much.
Looking once more to his face she sighed and traced her hand across his cheek, she looked down and narrowed her eyes to a look of accord. Thoughts swam through the enigma that was her mind. So many memories, so much pain, happiness, and times she thought her heart could fly…Her eyes examined his comely smile once more, and for the first real time since she had come, she smiled back…
Roses are red, and violets are blue, honey is sweet, but not as sweet as you…---
Okay my dears, it's over for the first chapter. I've written so much, and been sitting here so long, I can't feel my neck! You may hate me right now, but remember hatred will not get you updates.
Reviews will: P Constructive Criticism is a big, big help! Tell me if you think there is anything to improve on, whether it is from grammar to punctuation, or character acting. Thanks!
Yes, Sesshomaru will make a guest appearance soon. Though probably not until chapter 3 or 4. I want to make this story as detailed as I can. And I've found suspense help make it that way. So for all of you who actually read these, which I know half the time I don't, thank you!
Ja ne my lovelies!
