Sesshoumaru looked towards Kagome's body and didn't move.
"Do it." InuYasha snarled, flickering his claws.
Sesshoumaru drew the Tenseiga, still holding the Tetsusaiga in his other hand and walked slowly over to Kagome's body, InuYasha following.
Sesshoumaru paused over her, looking back at InuYasha. He was looking at Kagome, a strange expression on his face. Was it sadness? .Or something else? He turned back to the matter at hand, raising the Tenseiga above his head. He froze and held the sword.
InuYasha watched him anxiously, waiting for him to fulfill his part of the bargain. He clenched his fists.
"Do it, Sesshoumaru!" He cried.
Sesshoumaru stared down at her body. He had the Tetsusaiga, why was he wasting his time here, with this pitiful human? His honor, he supposed. This girl obviously meant something to InuYasha. Much like Rin meant everything to him. He owed it to her. He swung his sword down quickly.
A blinding light engulfed the forest. InuYasha drew back, convering his face with his hands before slowly letting them down. He looked around. Sesshoumaru was gone. He cursed quietly and ran to where Kagome lay.
"InuYasha!"
Miroku, Sango and Shippou were running up to him.
InuYasha ignored them, leaning down and lifting Kagome's head up. Her eyes fluttered. He sighed, relief washing over him. Sango and Miroku stopped running, keeping to a distance and watching quietly.
Kagome stirred, opening her eyes and looking up and InuYasha. She gave a small cry and pushed him away, drawing back.
"Kagome?" He said, reaching towards her.
"Keep away from me!" she cried, standing up and stepping away from him. She had begun to cry. She turned and sprinted into the forest.
InuYasha cried out and darted after her. She had not gotten far. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him.
"Let me go!" She cried, struggling. He held tight.
"Kagome," he said as calmly as he could. "It's allright! Sesshoumaru is gone! He left. You don't have to be afraid."
Kagome looked up at him, tears still running down her face. Anger filled her eyes and she slapped InuYasha across the face with her free hand.
"Sesshoumaru?" she said, puzzled and angry. "You did it!" she screamed. "You...you killed me!"
InuYasha gasped and let go of her hand, stepping back. "What...What the hell are you talking about!?"
Kagome turned away. "You chose the sword. You chose it over me."
InuYasha stood silent. Her words cut into him, leaving him speechless.
"I now know what I mean to you." She said, choking back more tears. She turned and faced him. "You really didn't care about me at all, did you?"
"That's not true!" he said.
"I.I'm going home." She said, turning back. "I'm going home for good. I don't want you to follow me. In fact." she reached into her pocket and pulled out the jewel shards she owned. "Take these," She snapped, throwing them down at his feet. "Now, after I go down the well I can't come back. They're all that matter to you anyway."
"Do it." InuYasha snarled, flickering his claws.
Sesshoumaru drew the Tenseiga, still holding the Tetsusaiga in his other hand and walked slowly over to Kagome's body, InuYasha following.

"InuYasha!"
Miroku, Sango and Shippou were running up to him.
