A/N: Hullo there! Setsuna here! So, is this story to your liking? I hope so! ^-^ Please, please! More feed-back! Feel free to e-mail, im, or what- not with any comments. Flames are some-what welcomed to! As long as there's no cussing and you have a reason to flame. I hate to inform that this, is in fact, the last chapter. But wait! As I said before I'm doing a follow- up. I'm working on that right now! ^_~ Well, that's all for now! Here's the disclaimer and on with the show! I would like to also thank wowerz for his idea on having Sesshomaru bring Kagome back. I was thinking the same thing when I wrote out this chapter yesterday night. Great minds' think alike! ^_~

Disclaimer: You know damn well good enough as many times as I've told you. I don't own Inuyasha.

*~* BTW!!! The song "Tourniquet" has finished. I'm continuing the story though! I might even bring up another song in the follow-up! Yay! Well, here's the story! ^_~

SWAG: Well.. I almost got fired today, so all I'm aloud to say now is the title and the chapter... scuffs. What I was doing before was going below my standards! has a shoe thrown at him. O.O; Uhm..

Betrayed by Heart, Decieved by Trust! Chapter 4: Help from an Unlikely Source!

*^*^*^*

"What are you doing here?" Inuyasha glared as Sesshomaru stepped out of the brush. Gently laying Kagome on the ground, he stood, tetsusaiga in hand, facing Sesshomaru.

"Watching your little wench die, due to something you did, I can imagine. No, wait. I know you did. Or else you wouldn't have been begging for forgiveness like one of those disgusting humans." At the last of his words Sesshomaru spit at Kagome's lifeless body. A sneer on his face as he looked up just in time to catch the tip of Inuyasha's sword with his hands.

"Take that back, Bastard! How dare you spit on my love!?!" Enraged, Inuyasha slammed his sword down as hard as he could upon his half-brother. 'How dare he do that towards Kagome? He's gonna pay!'

Instantly, Sesshomaru kicked out with his right leg. Swinging it around behind Inuyasha's, while dropping to the floor. He swipped Inuyasha's leg out from under him. Inuyasha falling, Sesshomaru jumped up, grabing the tetsusaiga from him and pointing it down at Inuyasha's neck.

"I could kill you easily now if I wanted to. Your feelings are clouding your judgement. That's what disgusts me most about you, brother."

"Half-brother!" Inuyasha heatedly corrected.

"Half-brother, then," Sesshomaru continued with a sneer. "But I won't kill you. And I'll even bring back your precious Kagome -is that what you call her?- as long as you pay my price."

Upon hearing the chance to bring Kagome back, Inuyasha, back-flipped up into the air, standing infront of Sesshomaru. 'He could bring Kagome back?! Gods! You've given me another chance! But... wait... at what cost?'

"What do you want, Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha did nothing to hide the venom in his voice.

"I want the tetsusaiga." Looking at the sword intently, Sesshomaru knew Inuyasha would give it up to save Kagome.

"What makes you think I'd give it to you!" With one fast swipe, Inuyasha grabbed the sword from Sesshomaru's hand.

"Because the lil frog demons are already here to take the human girl's soul. You haven't much time." Sesshomaru's sword was glowing, from the pressence of the soul demons. He smiled to himself knowing that Inuyasha will comply. One way or another.

Hesitently, Inuyasha held out the tetsusaiga. "Bring her back to life, and you'll get the tetsusaiga."

"I knew you'd see things my way." Smiling, Sesshomaru swung his sword down at Kagome's body, killing the soul demons and returning Kagome's soul to her lifeless form.

Suddenly Kagome's eyes opened with shock, gasping for air she raised up clutching her chest. Inuyasha jumped down over to her, Sesshomaru grabing the tetsusaiga from his hand.

"Pleasure doing business with you, little half-brother!" And with that Sesshomaru bowed and disappeared.

*^*^*^*

"Kagome!" Inuyasha helped her sit up as she gasped for air. Looking down at her wrists, he noticed the gashes were gone, yet there were still thin white scars. Looking back up at Kagome, 'She still looks pale,' he thought to himself.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, looking around desperately, tears forming in her dark eyes again. "Is it really you? Are you dead?" She started shaking, feeling cold all of a sudden. Fear ran throughout her body, not realizing where she was.

"No, I'm not dead, Kagome. You're alive!" He hugged her close to his chest, tears of happiness running down his already tear-stained cheeks.

"Wha-wha-what have you done?" She asked him, angerily, pushing him away.

"What do you mean, what have I done!?" Emotions rising, 'Why is she being like this! Is she mad that I brought her back? That I had to give the tetsusaiga away for her life? What!'

"How could you.. How could you! You're so selfish, Inuyasha! You took me away from the one place where I could be happy! From the one place, where I felt no pain! No sorrow! Could you not wait til your time came? It wasn't far from mine! You should have been right beside me!"

"What on earth are you talking about, woman!?" Inuyasha was puzzled. Yet the rage was heating up inside of him. Kagome was mad at him for bringing her back? How could she be!? He gave tetsusaiga to Sesshomaru!!

"I'm talking about being in heaven! The best place anyone could go to! You were on your way there too! Sesshomaru was supposed to kill you and you were supposed to be there with me!" Tears of anger ran down her face as the thought of leaving the most glorious place ever known to man, due to some half-breed and his selfishness, flashed through her mind.

"Selfishness?" The anger began to swell within Inuyasha. "Selfishness! Giving up the tetsusaiga for you is considered selfishness! I loved you! I wanted you! I needed you! And the fact that I gave up the second most important thing in my life for you is considered selfishness!? Then I wish you were dead Kagome Higurashi!"

*^*^*^*

"Augghhhhhnnn!" Inuyasha gasped, jumping up and sitting in bed, sweat pouring off him. Looking beside him he saw what should be Kagome's sleeping form. Sighing, 'It had been a dream. But what was it supposed to mean?' Looking at the thing Kagome said was a clock he noticed the lil number thingies read, "12:03". 'Maybe it was a good thing she taught me how to read this thing. After all, it's time for me to meet Kikyo in the woods.' Then he thought about the dream and how it all started. 'And then again, maybe not.' With that last thought he rolled over and wraped his arms around Kagome, falling back to sleep with his love snuggling back into his warm embrace. "I love you Kagome." He whispered in her ear, thinking she hadn't heard. She whispered back, "And I love you to, Inu-chan."

The End

A/N: So did ya like it!!! I hope so!! I'm sorry it ended so soon! But I'm thinking about the follow-up. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to please everyone, and so, I decided to both kill Kagome and then bring her back. So what'd you think about the ending? Nice lil twist huh? ^_~ I knew you'd like it. Well, like I always say, any comments feel free to express them! Until next time, Hasta! -Setsuna
