A/N: Hullo again! ^-^ Setsuna here! So, how's the story going? Okay, Okay... I know it's just like all the other In/Kag cleche's out there that have to do with Inu and Kikyo. But hey, it takes forever to come up with something original! And besides, all the great author's out there rip off someone else's ideas anyways! LOL But don't worry. I have a new idea I'm working on that's ACTUALLY original. None of the same stuff people are throwing around now days. Well, enough of my ranting, on with the disclaimer and then with the show!!

Disclaimer: How many times do I have to say this? I don't own Inuyasha, the song "Tourniquet", or the band Evanescence. Thank you.

*^*^*^* Chapter 2: Forgiveness of Sins, Pleading of the Heart

' Please... my friends... forgive me.' Pictures of Kagome's friends flashed through her mind. All her tears finally stopping, her eyes puffing, she silently said her good-byes. 'Shippo.. be strong without me! I love you, you little kitsune! Sango, be good to Miroku, he really loves you. Miroku, don't be so perverted, and you better not cheat on Sango! ...She really does care whether or not you flirt with other girls.' Then she came to the one person she had hardly anything to say to.. ' And Inuyasha...' What to say...? 'All I can say is good-bye. Now, please all my friends, forgive me! '

Finally coming to, Inuyasha stands, and races over to Kagome. Kneeling in the pool of blood surrounding her body, he picks her up in his arms. "Kagome.. oh God's, Kagome..."

"Inuyasha?" She breathed, barely opening her eyes to him.

~ Am I too lost to be saved / Am I too lost? ~

"Kagome!! My love! What have you done!?" Inuyasha cried through the tears streaming down his face. "Y-You-Your love? How can I be your love? You kissed Kikyo!" The pain of what she said stabbed at her slow beating heart. Tears formed in her eyes again and threatened to fall. Her reaction surprised her. She didn't even know she had any tears left! "Kagome! I love only you! Kikyo tricked me into doing that trying to destroy us! Please, don't die on me Kagome! I need you!" He pulled her close to him, her blood staining his kimono (haiori).

"Y-You love me? You don't love her?" Kagome asked shakily. "No, Kag-chan! Of course not! My heart belongs to you! And only you!" Inuyasha forced out through tears. " Why did you go to her in the first place, Inu-chan? " She asked him, her eyes looking straight into his, tears falling. " I-I-I don't know. All I know is that I did. But it wasn't to do anything with her. Mostly to get her to leave us alone. I swear Kagome! " " But... the way you were... you were holding her... you kissed her... " For a moment her breath caught and she choked out another sob. " I never meant for it to happen! I swear by the light of the Gods! Please, Kagome! You can't leave me! You're everything to me! You're my whole world! If I lost you, I'd die myself! " Inuyasha closed his eyes trying to hold back the rest of his tears. ' I can't lose her!' Inuyasha thought to himself, body shaking. 'My life would be meaningless without her! We lost each other once before, I could never let that happen again! Please, Kagome! Don't leave me!!' "I'm.. so sorry, Inuyasha." All the color was drained from Kagome's body. Her skin felt so cold against Inuyasha it sent shudders all down his spin. "Kagome, please, stay with me. I can't lose you again. I need you." Hugging her close, Inuyasha bent his head down and kissed her. For a moment she kissed back, and then stopped. Quickly Inuyasha moved back. 'Oh no..' Tears formed in his eyes as he looked down at Kagome.

A/N: Okay, okay. This was a REALLY short chapter, but I promise, I'm working on the next one right now. I'll probably put up two chaps today instead of just one. Alright, well give me feed back. ^_~ I promise you're gonna get a surprise ending to this!

Some weird announcer guy: Is Kagome still alive? Is she dead? And if so, is there anyway to save or bring her back? Check in next time kiddies for, Betrayed by heart, Decieved by trust! Chapter 3
