The Sickness
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. I just borrow him to torture once in a while. He hates me now. HAHAHAHA I'm evil. I had a strange urge to have him get cancer, and I obey my urges. Sometimes.
This could take place any time at all, kinda, since I do not read it much, nor watch the show, i only read a few books and a lot of fanfics...
Inuyasha was tired. He had never felt so tired before, even after a major battle for his life, even after the time when he had to fight at a human... he was tired to his very soul. And Kagome was gone. He felt pain, rippling throuhg him. HE cried out in alarm. "Kagome!"
but there was nobody about. His friends had all gone to some place or another, to await Kagome's return. He sank down against the well. "No..." He could not die like this, with so much undone, so much unsaid...
He had never told Kagome he loved her. She thought he cared nothing for her. How wrong she was... She did not know how his world stopped when she was not around, how he became irritable, and grouchy, and his friends could not stand to be around him without her. She was like his soul, his good nature, his essance, his being, his life. Without her, he was a demon. He had never been this way before, even with Kikyo.
And now he flet his life slowly seeping out of him. How was this happining? It was like he was being killed from some horrible wound, yet he was uninjured. It was like something was eating him from the inside. He was so sick... he felt like he was going to die. "Oh, God, don't let me die, not here, not now, not like this, not alone..." But of course, God would despise him because he was half demon. There would be no mercy for his soul. He needed Kagome.... he needed to tell her, to tell her... he loved her... he... could... not... die ... yet... not... while... she... did... not...kn...ow...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome woke up from a horrible dream. She dreamed that... no, she could not remember now. It was not important.
Something was wrong. She felt funny... could it be her period? no, it was something else. A horrible feeling in her gut. She felt like it was a ghost-pain, some warning to her...
Inuyasha! She had to go see him! She went to the well.
Inuyasha was coming out of the well as she went in. She was annoyed at him for making her worry. the feeling was gone now. What was he doing here?
"What are you doing here?"
"I just came to visit you. Is that a crime? I wanted to see you. I have something to tell you."
"Well, it has to wait until after school. I have to get ready."
"Why ARE you out here so early?"
"I felt... something. Must have been indigestion."
He grimiced. Could she have felt... this morning... he had to tell her. He had not told anyone else... she deserved to know first... both things, in fact...
"We need to talk"
"I need to go to school. Goodday."
And she turned around on her heel and went back inside to get dressed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome was hagning out with some friends, doing her homework in the park. She was having fun. She knew better than to hope the stupid dog-demon had gone back to his time. He had been stalking her all day. IT was painfully obvious.
"Hey, look, Kagome, you BOYFRIEND is over there!"
Her friends were all laughing at her. She ignored him and went back to her math homework.
"Well? Arn't you going to see what he wants?"
"no."
"Why not?"
"Yeah, Kagome, why not?"
"I don't want to."
"Awww, you're being silly."
"I know what he wants. He said he wants to tell me something."
"when did he say that?"
"This morning. He came to my house."
"And you blew him OFF!"
"God, Kagome, you're so cruel!"
"Has he said he loves you yet? That could be it"
"No, It's probably that he passed a test or something. Something stupid. And he's NOT my boyfriend!!!!"
"Suuuure Kagome. Whatever."
"GO talk to him!"
"FINE! I WILL!"
She stormed over to Inuyasha, who was unsuccessfully trying to hide behind a tree.
"WHAT?!?!?"
"Jees, Kagome! I jsut want to talk to you!"
"So talk."
"I... that is... well..."
"You want to talk, but you have nothing to say? You're wasting my time. I'll be back next weekend. goodbye."
"Dammit! Don't just dismiss me like that!!!"
"And why not? SAY SOMETHING INTELLIGANT, IF THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE!!"
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD THIS IS! I CAME ALL THE WAY HERE, EVEN THOUGH I'M DYING..."
Then softer, "I'm dying, Kagome. I love you. I'll let you get back to your friends now." And he walked away, back to the well, fighting for composure.
Kagome was shocked. She could not just write this off. Inuyasha? The half-demon? Dying? What could this mean? What could do this to him?
She found she could not go back to her friends. She could not rush after Inuyasha, either. She needed time to be alone. So she ran, across the park, through the broken fence, to a small lake: her private place. She sat there and cried.
She never told him how much she loved him. Strage, that now that he was dying, she coud allow herself to think that word. Love. Love. She loved him. And she could not have him. If he died, he would be with Kikyo. He would never be hers.
Death. Strange, how she had faced it so many times, yet did not understand it, resented it. It was taking her love from her. She was afraid of it. She knew she shouldn't be, but she was. Perhaps she should just drown herself in the lake and face it head on. Then, when Inuyasha died, she could have him, the way she never would be able to on earth.
Her best friend came through the broken fence. "I brought you your things. You left in such a hurry, you forgot..."
"thank you."
"Kagome, are you alright? What did he tell you? Did you two break up?"
"How could we? He's not my boyfriend."
"So what DID he say?"
"He's... he's.... he's dying."
"Oh... my god, Kagome, why didn't you say something?"
"I... I wanted to be alone... I never realized that i... I mean..."
"You love him, don't you?"
Kagome said nothing, just leaned on her friend and cried.
"Come on, let's go home."
Sad, huh? Is it any good? Should i finish it? I know, of course, that due to upload suspension, the only ones who will read this possibly before I make the next chapter will be my beta testers, who i can send this to directly, but I DO want input! REVIEW!!!
