Sweet Hallucinations

Chapter Two: Death

By: Priestess Sakura

Midoriko started to open up the jar that was in her hands. "Are you ready Kagome?" Midoriko said as she completely opened up the jar.

"Humph" Was kagome's answer as she nodded.

"Well then." Midoriko started to recite a spell. Then all of a sudden Kagome's soul was ripped out of her body and she fell limply backwards on the ground lifeless. Kagome was dead.

"NO!" Sango started to cry. She couldn't believe it. The one person she considered a sister was dead. She was madder than hell at Inuyasha. She felt hatred for him.

Miroku was speechless. He was deeply sad. He also began to feel hatred for Inuyasha. 'How can he be so selfish as to let Kagome die?!' A single tear rolled down his cheek, for the first time since his father's death Miroku cried.

Inuyasha's face was the color of a sheet of paper. His hands were in such a tight fist that his knuckles were white, and blood started to drip from the cuts he made with his claws. His legs were so weak he fell to the ground. He could move again. Right after kagome died he was able to move again. 'Kagome...why? Why did you sacrifice yourself?! Don't you know that I can't live without you? I...I love you so much.' A tear slowly ran down Inuyasha's cheek. The second Kagome died he felt a strong pain of guilt and loneliness in his heart.

"I hate you Inuyasha! How could you be so selfish to just let Kagome die?!" Sango screamed at Inuyasha with tears running down her cheeks. She and Miroku thought Inuyasha didn't stop Kagome for pure selfishness.

"Inuyasha, after you tried to save Kagome's life so many times risking yours, you just let her die like this?! Miroku was furious.

"We'll have to burn her burn her body." Kaede said quit sadly. She really liked Kagome, she was already a sister to her.

_________*_____________*____________________*_______________

(1 hour later)

"Hey Sango?" Asked a quit curious Shippo.

"Yes Shippo?" Sango knew she had to tell Shippo what happened to Kagome. 'But how can I tell him? For him, it would be like losing his second mother.'

"Were's Kagome? Did she go back to her time?"

"Shippo you're going to have to be strong." Sango said feeling hot tears pool in her eyes. "Kagome is dead."

"What?! B-but how?! Shippo started to cry.

"Well she sacrificed herself so Kikyou wouldn't have to back to hell, and Inuyasha and her could be happy." Sango said with tears slowly rolling down her cheek. Sango hugged Shippo and they both cried together.

"Shippo, we better go outside now."

*sniff* "Why"

"Because they're going to burn Kagome's body pretty soon."

_____________________________________***__________________________

"Were is Sango, Shippo and Inuyasha?" Asked Kaede sadly

"Well Sango is in the hut telling Shippo what happened to Kagome. And Inuaysha wants to be alone." Miroku was still furious with Inuyasha. He didn't think that he'd ever be able to forgive Inuyasha after what happened today.

"There is Sango and Shippo." Kaede said as Sango and Shippo approached.

"So where's Inuyasha?" Sango said sternly

"He went for a walk, And.....Kikyou went after him after he went" Miroku answered Sango's question.

"Well we can't wait for them, we have to burn Kagome's body still today. They say it's not good to do it after the day the person dies."

Miroku picked up Kagome's dead body and put her on top a sort of cement table. Then Kaede got a candle and began to recite a spell. She then put a lit candle on top of Kagome's stomach. Suddenly Kagome's whole body began to catch on fire. Everybody watched Kagome's body beganing to turn into ashes. Sadness struck all of them full in the heart. They would never forget Kagome.

______________________________________***_________________________

High up in a tree in the border of the village Inuyasha watched the small ceremony. It was just to hard to believe that his Kagome was dead. 'Kagome, I never got to tell you how I really felt about you. This is all my fault! If I hadn't made that deal with Kikyou then none of this would have happened!'

*Flashback*

Inuyasha was standing in front of Kikyou waiting for her to talk.

"Inuyasha, I have a deal for you. You can't always protect my reincarnation from me. If you tell her that you love me and that you will stay with me forever then I will stop giving her a hard time. Not only that but you will have to keep that promise even if she's alive or dead or else I will go after her and this I WILL kill her!"

Inuyasha stood there in front of Kikyou. 'How can she be so heartless?! The Kikyou I knew would never do this! But if it's for Kagome's own safety then I'll have to accept the offer. I wouldn't be able to live with Kagome dead. I guess then I can never tell her that I love her.' "Fine......I'll do it for Kagome's safety...."

*End of Flashback*

Inuyasha knew that now he would never be able to touch Kagome like he did before he threw her into the well. He would never see her beautiful that always warmed his heart. He would never hear Kagome's sweet voice that once saved him. And worst of all he would never be able to look into her beautiful sky blue eyes.

*sigh* 'How touching....thinking about my reincarnation aren't you Inuyasha?" Came Kikyou's cold and jealous voice.

"She is not your reincarnation Kikyou! That made Inuyasha remember how Kagome always said that she wasn't Kikyou's reincarnation.

"Humph, that go's to show you, Inuyasha, that the original always floats back on top.....and the fake always sink down to the bottom." Kikyou began to chuckle.

"Don't ever call Kagome a fake again Kikyou!"

*sigh* "You will forget her Inuyasha, I will make you forget. Now, I must see how's the construction of our new hut." With that Kikyou stepped out of the forest and headed towards the village.

"We should bury kagome's ashes now, it's best to bury them while they are still warm from the fire." Kaede said putting ashes in a small sack.

"I guess Inuyasha didn't have the courage to show up after being so selfish." Sango said with a snort.

"Cowards never have courage to begin with." Said a sad yet trying-to-feel-better Kitsune.

When Kaede, Miroku, Sango, and Shippo got to the hole, the villagers already finished. They were all around the hole kneeling with their heads down.

"Good job with the digging." Miroku said

Kaede put the sack into the hole. The villagers then began to bury the sack with the sand they digged out. Once the villagers finished Miroku began his speech.

"We are all gathered here today to give this dear friend a last good-bye." Miroku closed his eyes and took a deep breath trying to hold back the tears. He succeeded. "She was the truest of all friends I, myself, considered her a little sister, one that I never could have." Once he finished, he carefully put three roses on top of her grave. He then stepped back.

Sango then stepped forward. "I want to say that Kagome was a sister to me too. She always helped me through everything. She always put others before her. She has risked her life so many times to save ours. I will never forget you little sister." Sango had tears in her eyes. She placed three daisies on top of Kagome's grave. She then walked towards Miroku and he put his arms around her.

Next was Shippo, he had two roses and a daisy. *sniff* "Kagome was like a *sniff* second mother to me. Now *sniff* I lost my second mom." Shippo had tears coming down his cheek. Sango walked over to Shippo and picked him up. She then walked back to Miroku. Kaede was next.

Kaede had one daisy. "Kagome was an incredible young girl. She was kind, loyal determined, and couragous. And I'm sure that no one will ever forget her, and we will all miss her dearly."

_______________________________***________________________________

Inuyasha was walking in the forest when he spotted a bunch of flowers. He picked up a red, pink and white rose, sunflower, tulip and a daisy. He was going to the Goshiboku tree were he and Kagome had first met. 'Kagome.....I will never forget you!'

When Inuyasha arrived at the Goshiboku tree there was a girl sitting on a branch. She was giggling a glowing a beautiful gold. Inuyasha was shocked, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
