(:Disclaimer:) I do not own Inu Yasha. He owns me.

(:A.N:) Hello, everyone! I had a weird evening that made me think a lot of Inu Yasha; eating Thai food, watching old Japanese samurai movies, and watching Iron Chef. Of course what most made me think of Inu Yasha was the samurai movie ^ ^ (there was something about Nobunaga in it lol) but it got really stupid and I hate listening to old style Japanese, so I turned it off. And here I am. Please enjoy this next chapter.

And They Say it was My Fault
Chapter Three : Mezameru
By : Feng Shui Goddess

"Sayonara, boku no tomodachi..." I said as I held Tessiaga up to my neck. My human emotions were terrified, and tried to stop me. I tightly closed my eyes, and felt sweat pouring down my skin. Miroku ran over to me, and tried to grab Tessiaga from me, but I did not let go. I laughed, "I'm finally going to see her again, Miroku... This time for all eternity. Finally I will be content, and that's what Kagome would want me to be. Content." Miroku grabbed my hands, "you're wrong, Inu Yasha! She wouldin't want this! Please, stop it, don't do it!" I moved the sword a little closer to my neck, until it pierced my skin. I let out a little gasp of pain, but continued to inject the sword. My vision slowly grew dark and blurry, and I fell to the ground, making the sword go deep into my flesh. I heard Miroku let out a terrified scream as my eyes rolled back into my skull, and I fell into a dark sleep.

I awoke to find darkness everywhere. I couldin't see in front of me, I couldin't see anything, not even my own hands. The atmosphere was cold, sending chills up my spine. The place itself wasn't cold, but I felt that something bad was close by, watching my every move. I placed my hands on my neck to find a huge and deep gash, still dripping with my blood. I licked the blood off my hands, and sighed. 'Is this what death is like?' I questioned myself. Of course I always knew that there was no Heaven and Hell... They were just figments that humans had created out of their own fear of death. Humans thought of the most stupid things out of their fears, and they were always trying to figure out the meaning of their existence. Their minds were floating off in space with thoughts of gods and devils, when in reality, none of it was real. I sighed, and walked around in complete emptiness. Suddenly, I felt something moving swiftly behind me, and turned to fing two gray eyes staring directly into mine.

"Inu Yasha..." the figure said, sorrow in her voice. "K-Kagome?" I asked, not sure who it was. "How... How could you kill me like that? I thought you loved me?" I gasped... How could she think it was me who killed her? Had she forgotten how she died? I grasped her in my arms, "Kagome, how could you think that? You died saving me... Remember?" She pulled away from my grasp, with a beautiful melancholy look in her eyes, "you're mistaken, Inu Yasha. I am sure it was your fault." I could feel the sorrow welling up inside me, and I sat on the ground. "I was so torn up when you died, Kagome... I just couldin't go on living... So I came to find you here... In the end, we both got killed for eachother..." I could hear her holding back her tears, "shut up... You're lying. I'm too young to be dead, Inu Yasha. I'm only 17... If I were still alive, I could be so happy, I had my whole future panned out ahead of me... I was going to go study at Tokyo University, and lead a normal life... With you." I felt horrible, like it was my fault for her death. She was right, she was too young. I had lived a long life, and hers had barely just begun... She slowly moved her hand to the slit on my neck, and pressed on it, making me let out a small scream. "Where did you get this from?" she asked, not removing her finger from the cut. "Just before I came here," I said, in pain from her touch. She sighed, "why did you do it, Inu Yasha? Now we're both stuck here." I moved her hand from my neck, "because I promised that I'd stay with you no matter where you were, and that I'd never leave your side. It won't be as lonely if we are both here, together."

She sat down next to me, laying her head on my shoulder, "will we stay here for all eternity?" I placed my arm around her frail frame, "I'm not sure." She sighed, "stay with me forever, Inu Yasha. Promise me." It seemed as if she had come to her sences about me not killing her, and I was relieved. "Forever, I promise." She smiled, "then, I am content. I am content when you are close to me, Inu Yasha. Even when you used to deny your feelings towards me, I knew that you have always loved me." I layed down, closing my eyes, "how could I not love you, Kagome...?" Kagome stood up, "Inu Yasha, I think I know how to get us both to come back alive!" I sat up, alarmed by her words, "what? How?" She thought hard, "well, if you and I can both focus all of our powers on waking up, then it might just work. Since I am a miko, I can control those sort of things... Life and death. So if we both set our minds on waking up, then we might just." I really had no clue what she was talking about, so I just went along with her. She pulled a small shard from her pocket, "it came with me to death, because I was born to protect it." I stood up, and she placed her hands in mine, with the Shikon shard between our hands. We closed our eyes tightly, focusing on nothing but coming back to life. I could feel power surrounding us, and lifting us. "Please," Kagome whispered, "let us awaken."
