Inuyasha ran from Kaede's hut and into the forest, following the ways his feeling was telling him.
After fifteen minutes of running, Inuyasha found what he had been trying to find. It was a woman, laying face down in the dirt. Although, he couldn't tell who it was, he worried about her . . . he wondered if she was alive or dead. He walked forward and turned the woman over.
He gasped. "No . . . Kikyo. No, it can't be. No!" he said in pure shock. She was covered in blood. There was blood coming from her right shoulder, her stomach, right forearm, everywhere! "Kikyo! Kikyo, can you hear me?? Please be alive!!" Inuyasha pleaded. He was surprised to feel tears on his cheeks but he ignored them. He pulled Kikyo's head into his lap.
"KIKYO, PLEASE WAKE UP!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!! PLEASE KIKYO!! I DON'T CARE IF I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE THAT SHOULDN'T MATTER!! WE WERE FRIENDS, KIKYO!! WAKE UP AND TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED, DAMN IT!!" Inuyasha yelled at her.
Kikyo groaned softly. "Kikyo! Talk, please, tell me what happened . . ." Inuyasha encouraged. Kikyo opened her eyes. "Nara-Naraku . . . took . . . shard . . . make . . . injuries open . . . then . . . attack me . . . shard . . . held . . . soul . . . going to . . . die . . . soon . . ." Kikyo managed between breathes.
Inuyasha pushed back the wave of tears that were threatening to fall and said, "No, Kikyo, you can't die . . . I don't want you too . . ."
Kikyo smiled softly and brought her left hand up to his cheek. "I'm . . . sorry, Inuyasha, I . . . really did . . . love you . . ." With that her hand went limp and dropped.
Inuyasha felt another tear escape an eye and angrily wiped it away he couldn't let himself cry again. He lay Kikyo down and began to dig a grave for her.
After twenty minutes of digging, the hole was complete and he buried Kikyo in it.
He looked one last time at the grave before he left, then looked away when he felt his eyes sting with tears. He walked slowly back to Kaede's hut

Kagome was now pacing around the room; Inuyasha was worrying the hell out of her. Everyone had already come back.
It had been over an hour and he still hadn't come back yet. "Kagome, calm down . . ." Sago said. Kagome shook her head. "Something's wrong . . . I know it . . ."
Sesshomaru sniffed the air; he was coming but he decided not to say anything.
Inuyasha walked through the door five minutes later. Kagome brightened when she saw him alive. "Inuyasha! Where-" Kagome stopped herself when she got a good look at him. He had blood on his face and hands, his cheeks were tear- stained, and his eyes . . . his eyes looked almost dead . . . a dull hazel . . . those weren't the bright golden eyes she knew.
"Oh my God . . ." she breathed. "Inuyasha, what happened? What's wrong?" she asked. Inuyasha looked away. "Nothing . . ." he said quietly.
"Inuyasha, what happened?" she asked again; Kagome knew he was lying. "Nothing!" Inuyasha yelled and stormed out the door. Kagome winced but followed.
Inuyasha made his way to the forest as quickly as possible and jumped onto a branch. Kagome found him five minutes later. "INUYASHA!!" she yelled, "WHY THE HELL WON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG??!!" she yelled and climbed the tree to sit in front of him.
Inuyasha looked away again. "Nothing's wrong, that's why . . ." he whispered. Kagome forced him to look at her. "Inuyasha, I'm here for you, tell me what's wrong . . . and don't say nothing because I know something happened by the look in your eyes." Kagome said. Inuyasha felt tears sting his eyes again. He hugged her close and buried his head in her shoulder and cried softly. Kagome was surprised but embraced Inuyasha and let him cry.
"She's dead . . ." Inuyasha sobbed. Kagome became confused. "Who? Who's dead, Inuyasha?" she asked quietly.
"Kikyo . . . she's dead . . . I saw her die . . . again . . . do you know . . . what it's like to . . . see your . . . first friend die . . . TWICE?" Inuyasha said between sobs. Kagome gasped. "No, no I don't, Inuyasha, I'm so sorry . . . I'm sorry you had to go through that . . ." Kagome said as tears slid down her own cheeks. "Inuyasha, how'd you get that blood on you?" she asked trying to change the subject. Inuyasha cried harder. "It's hers she was bleeding when I got there," he wept.
"Is that why you really left? You knew it was gonna happen?" Kagome asked. "Well, no, not exactly, but I had a bad feeling all day, then I got worse so I felt to go figure out what it was . . ." Inuyasha explained. "You know, you didn't have to lie to me, I woulda let you go . . ." Kagome said.
Inuyasha nodded and sat up. When he saw that Kagome was crying too, he hastily wiped away his own tears and cleared his throat.
"No . . . Kagome . . . don't cry . . . not for her . . ." he said and wiped away her tears, being careful not to scratch her with his claws. "There's no need . . . I'm sorry you had to see that, Kagome . . . it's not proper for a demon to cry," he continued. "No . . . Inuyasha . . . it's okay . . . everyone needs to cry once and a while . . ." Kagome reassured, smiling. Inuyasha smiled weakly. He jumped down from the tree with Kagome and walked back to Kaede's hut.
When they got back, no one asked any questions so Kagome and Inuyasha quietly sat in the corner.
