Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Inuyasha. If I did, Kagome and Inuyasha would have been together looong before the second movie! X3
Author's Note: This story will switch between first person and omniscient narration (probably only when the chapter changes) so please be aware so you won't be extremely confused. I know I would ^^;. Also, in this chapter, I will mention things that happen all the way up through episode 60. There are no real spoilers to speak of, just mentions of scenes. If you haven't seen up through episode 60, I apologize for any confusion ^^;;

Kagome – Forever Love
The last thing I remember is Inuyasha saying that he'd be all right if I was. Things started to go downhill from there.
All I can see is black, and all I hear are worried voices calling my name. I hurt everywhere.
That's fine with me, I deserve this. It was my fault for not recognizing what that fruit was. Kaede told me about it once before. I'm so stupid. Not only have I killed myself,
I may have killed the one I love the most.
Inuyasha, where is he? Is he all right? I can feel he's near. He feels the same pain I do.
Oh, Inuyasha! If I only wasn't so stupid! Then we could be sitting under a lean-to with Sango and Miroku and Shippou and Kirara laughing about something instead of fighting for our lives. How many times have I put your life in danger? You, the one that I claim to love so dearly.
Images flash through my head. Is this my life flashing before my eyes? Am I dying?
I see the first time I fell down the bone-eater's well, that odd glow as I slowly slip through time.
I see the night I pulled Kikyou's arrow out of your chest.
The first fight with Sesshoumaru.
The day you hugged me, and then pushed me down the well.
The night after you transformed into a full demon and you slaughtered all of those men – the night you couldn't get the smell of blood off of your hands.
When we met Kanna, Naraku's offspring, and she nearly stole all of our souls.
The fight with Tsubaki, the kuro-miko.
The night that Kikyou kissed you.
That image will forever be burned in my brain. The feeling of my heart being wrenched from its place in my chest.
Someone calls my name. Is it you, Inuyasha?
I'm so sorry, Inuyasha, for doing this to you. You may never find the Shikon no Tama and avenge Kikyou if I die.
Someone is holding my hand. I can feel the warmth of someone's face close to mine. If I reach out with my mind, perhaps I can find them
Inuyasha?
Are you the one who is holding my hand?
There are others with me too; Sango, Miroku, and Shippou are here, watching over us. It's raining outside, I can hear it. Or can I feel it?
Something's pricking me in my neck, like a mosquito, or something.
I hear a cry of pain.
Inuyasha?
The darkness is fading away now, and so are the muffled sounds. I can hear the crisp sounds of labored breathing and painful cries. That is Inuyasha! I need to get up! I must help him.
Suddenly, I can see the wooden ceiling of Kaede's house and I can hear the rain hitting the roof.
I call out.
Miroku-sama and Sango-chan call out.
Inuyasha is squeezing my hand. I sit up and see him, lying next to me. He's breathing hard and sweating, calling out in pain. I see Myoga on the floor next to my futon.
Inuyasha, did you not let Myoga take the poison from you first?!
I cry. His soul is slowly drifting away from his body, not wanting to stay in this constant pain.
No! I won't let you!
I muster all of the power I have in my body. I know I have miko power running through my body. I can use that, even if I have to use all of it to save him. I feel my strength surge through my body as adrenaline pumps into my veins. But if I die using my powers, I want you to know one thing before I die,
I love you,
I kiss him, using his soft lips as a portal for my powers to cleanse his blood of the poison that I have given him. The kiss itself is more out of passion than necessity, but it doesn't matter. All that matters is you, Inuyasha.
I want you to enjoy every breath you take as I have. I want Inuyasha to live.
