AN: It's here! After a long break, the final chapter is finished. :D And yes, even the final chapter is sad and violent. Especially sad. :D

Chapter 4: Broken

-

It happened. Kagome's worst fear happened. What Kagome was wishing would never happen with all her heart happened. She couldn't believe it.

Inuyasha was dead.

She was holding his decapitated head in her arms, his blood staining her white shirt red. His blood turning the grass, already red with the blood of her dead friends, a deeper shade of red. "Inuyasha... You broke your promise to me. You said... you said you weren't going to die. But look at you now, Inuyasha... you're dead!"

"You stupid girl," Naraku said from somewhere behind Kagome, "In the end, everybody will die. I'll just make you die faster." Naraku smirked and let out an evil little laugh.

With tears blinding her vision, Kagome tore through the earth with her hands. She dug a hole about a foot deep and a foot wide and placed Inuyasha's head into it, and then she buried the head with the dirt she dug up. Then she stood up and wiped her hands off on her skirt. She turned around and faced Naraku.

"Naraku... I... will kill you." She picked up her bow again, fitted another arrow to the string, and pulled the string back to her ear. "I want you to die, Naraku." She let the arrow fly. Again. The arrow arched through the air and hit its mark, slicing off Naraku's head. Again. The head seperated from the body with a splash of blood and both the body and the head fell to the ground. Again. But this time it was really Naraku.

This time, Kagome really killed Naraku.

Kagome dropped her bow and fell to her knees. "Dead. They're all dead. Inuyasha. Miroku. Shippou. Sango. And Naraku. There's no reason for me to stay here anymore. And as for the Shikon Jewel... I just don't care anymore." She stood up again and buried the rest of her friends' bodies next to where she had buried Inuyasha's head. She left Naraku where he had fallen; the crow demons could eat him for all she cared.

She bowed her head and said a little prayer, just like what Miroku would have done. Then she picked up her yellow bag and swung it over her shoulder, and then she swung herself onto her bike. She said goodbye to her friends and told Naraku to rot in hell, and rode off on her bike towards the flesh eating well as fast as she could go.

Already this time had too many painful memories. Already those painful memories were tearing through Kagome's heart and ripping her up inside. She wanted to forget about those painful memories. And the only way she knew she could forget them was to get away from whatever reminded her of them.

So she went back home.

/Alone I cannot walk, time's winds are too strong,

Ah, its wounded, I should have gotten used to it but right now,/

That night Kagome dreamed. In her dreams there was a young boy. He had long white hair, golden eyes, and a smile that showed two glittering fangs.

"I promise, Kagome. I won't die," he said.

/Ah, leave me the way I am, my heart, even though damp,

At this moment is being changed, if unchanging love exists,

Will you hold my heart, catch my tears,/

He suddenly turned away, his cheeks flushed red with embarrassment. "Feh! What made you think I would die, you stupid girl? Go to bed. I'll be in after you."

Kagome smiled and laughed. "Okay. I'll be waiting for you."

/All of my heart is ready to shatter./

"I promise, Kagome. I won't die."

Then it started raining. Raining Inuyasha's blood.

AN: Well, that's it! There is no more! Unless you want a sequel, that is... (yeah right). :D And don't ask me about the weird setups, fanfiction.net doesn't seem to like converting my bold and italics tags.

Read? Then review! I like to hear, or in this case see, what you people think about my work...
