Kagome sneaked through the forest as quietly as possible, and got to the dear unnoticed. She crept a bit closer, and tried to get it with the whip, but missed. The dear, having noticed the weapon coming towards it, ran away. Kagome followed it, but was making no progress with the whip, and she was getting frustrated. Unconsciously she changed her energy to make the whip into a sword, and slashed at the dear like she was doing before. But, due to the new type of weapon, she cut the dear in the stomach, and got blood all over her.
Kagome slumped to her knees as she watched it die, and cried. "I can't believe I killed it! That was so mean! I shouldn't have done that, it's dead! How could I have taken a life!?" and things like that came out of her mouth.
She heard clapping behind her, and turned to see Yoko smirking at her, "Oh yes, you are such a mass murderer. One deer, oh Kami-sama how could you do that Kagome." He chuckled, before picking up the corpse, "Come on, I'm going to show you how to skin this thing. By the way, nice swordsmanship."
He stated back to camp, with Kagome in tow. She decided to start talking, "I'm sorry."
"For what? The deer?" She nodded, head bowed in sham. "Listen, first lesson, don't cry it shows weakness. Second, don't apologize for anything. Life's a game, nothing to lose, so enjoy it. Ok?"
"Ok."

Inuyasha was following Kikyo, thinking about things. Finally, when he had everything thought out, he stopped walking.
Kikyo frowned at him, "Inuyasha, what are you doing?! We have to get going."
"Kikyo, what if I went to Hell with you? Right now, after I say goodbye to Kagome."
Kikyo thought about this for a second, and finally agreed. She had wanted him to suffer in Hell, and the sooner, the better. So they went to find Kagome, this time to say farewell, not to kill her.
By the time they came upon her, Shippou, and Yoko, the three were eating. Yoko was the first to notice them, 'Chikuso! What is the mutt doing here?! He's only going to upset her! Wait. Why do I care so much about that? If she's upset, she won't be able to protect the Shikon, and I'll be able to get it. But I do feel something.' Instead of making his worries known, he settled for growling at them.
Inuyasha was the first to speak, "We're not here to cause any trouble, I just wanted to say goodbye before I go to Hell with Kikyo. Kagome, I have always thought of you as more than just a shard detector, and I want to thank you. You never cared about me being a half-breed, and you stuck by me. You the first person to actually be my friend, not wanting me to change. And, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have an friends, so I wanted to give you something." He took the Tetseiga (sheath and all) and handed it to her, "You were the first one to pull it out, after all. Just do two things for me." Kagome nodded, "First hold out your hand." She nodded, and did so. Inuyasha cut a small gash in his hand, and did the same to her. He them pushed the two together, mixing the blood, "Now this sword will protect you, as you are the rightful owner."
Kagome was on the brink of tears, "What is the second thing you want me to do?"
"Just keep it safe from SesshouMaru, if you think you can do it."
She couldn't hold it in anymore, and Kagome was now crying, "I'll do so with my life. Just be happy Inuyasha." He nodded, and left with Kikyo, to go to Hell.

(I know it's short, but I wanted to get my point across.)
