A/N: Hey guys! I'm writing this as fast as possible. Some current updates:
1) when I finish this story I have other stories in mind. 2) I MIGHT be
able to go online again. Cause well my cable modem sometimes works, and
sometimes don't. For the love of Kami-sama let me go online! I'm going to
DIE without Fanfic! Okay that's all! Please review, and it's coming up to
the climax in my story. That's all for now! Oh yeah one more thing, when I
put italics, underline, or bold why doesn't it show up on Fanfic? I use
Word to write my stories okay? Can anyone please tell me? Thanks!
Last comment: This chapter is going to be LONG. It might start getting boring if I dump the whole thing on once chapter, so I'm going to cut it up. I'm just going to do Inuyasha's dream in this one cause his dream is pretty long. Hope it's a tearjerker! Happy crying!
Disclaimer: Nope, never will, never did. Don't own Inuyasha and cast/crew blah! Or any of the songs I put in here.
The Decision
Don't Cry Over Spilt Milk
(Clip from last chapter: "I-Inuyasha, what do we do now?" Shippou squeaked. No reply.)
THUMP
Shippou heard a heavy thump on the floor, as if someone dropped asleep suddenly. Then he heard two other thumps, one as heavy as the first one and another one a little lighter.
"I-Inuyasha? M-Miroku, San-Sango?" Shippou stuttered in the darkness. Suddenly he felt queasy and sleepy, his eyelids drooped and blackness overwhelmed him in the already-dark room. There was a small thump as Shippou also fell to the floor asleep.
~* Inuyasha's Dream Sequence *~
"Um, where am I now? I was in the room with Miroku and Sango and Shippou. I should be asleep. I think this is a dream again." Inuyasha spoke to himself as it echoed around in the dark sky. Suddenly out of the darkness he saw a light. It was Kagome again.
"Kagome! Is this one of our dreams again?" Inuyasha called out.
"Inuyasha!!! Sort of, I was waiting for you I fell asleep in Naraku's room, but where are you?" Kagome asked.
"I came to his room, but he told me you left and then I also fell asleep. Kagome, are you all right?" Inuyasha questioned her.
"Inuyasha, this isn't a real meeting with both of us, Na- KYAA Inuyasha" Kagome screamed as she started disappearing and she was covered in blood.
Suddenly Kagome disappeared and was replaced by Kikyou. She had that cold glare on her face.
"K-Kikyou? KIKYOU! What? Huh? What, how come, what are you doing here and where did Kagome go? What was Kagome trying to tell me?" Inuyasha asked a little flustered.
"Heh, heh, apparently your little wench isn't here, is she?" Then Kikyou disappeared.
"What?! What's going on?" Inuyasha cried as suddenly the darkness in front of him changed into a dark alley. He walked through it and came to a sight he wished he'd never see, he saw his friends, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou all dead. They were in a deep sleep, or they were really dead. Their limp bodies lay there unmoving, and silent. Inuyasha stared at them in horror.
"No, you guys, aren't dead! WAKE-UP! YOU AREN'T DEAD! WAKE UP!!" Inuyasha screamed as his voice broke. The scene suddenly changed again, this time his friends were alive and were sitting on a hill in a bright afternoon smiling. Everything was there and it seemed perfect so far, but one thing was missing, he was missing. The scene showed no sign he ever existed with them. He walked over to Miroku.
"Um hi Miroku! What are you doing here?" Inuyasha greeted him.
"Um do I know you?" Miroku asked him stiffening.
"He's-he's a youkai!" Kagome screamed.
"Kagome! Don't you remember me? Kagome!!!" Inuyasha cried out as he stepped closer to Kagome, she flinched visibly and backed up.
"Um, w-what do you want from us?" Sango asked with great calmness, but with a tint of terror.
"Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Shippou! Don't you remember me? Inuyasha!!!" Inuyasha cried desperately.
"Inuyasha!!!!" Shippou cried out, for a moment Inuyasha thought they remembered him, but right then he saw Shippou freeze up in terror and backed up slowly away from him.
"Y-you're the Inuyasha who's after the Shikon. The one who is very hostile and is rude and is very dangerous! My father told me about you, before he died." Shippou stuttered.
Miroku acting like an instinct walked in front of the group and prepared to defend his friends.
"If you are a threat to us, then please leave." Miroku said his voice trembling, as he got ready to use his Air Rip.
"No! Guys! That was BEFORE I met you guys! You're my friends! Have you forgotten! Miroku stop joking around! We're gathering the Shikon Shards together!" Inuyasha told Miroku.
"I can't trust you. We can't trust you. You are known to be dangerous and many people are under the influence of Naraku. So we can't trust you youkai!" Miroku exclaimed.
Inuyasha, felt that that remark hit a nerve. A tender nerve that he never felt since he was a child, but more painful. His own friends forgetting him and not trusting him, what more was that they called him a youkai, or a demon, not even by his name, they avoided him. He learned to back away from people like that since he was a kid. He didn't know how to react anymore since he didn't feel it for such a long time, after meeting Kagome. Inuyasha stared at them in pain. Everything faded away again, he was alone, people were avoiding him, no one loved him, no one cared, everyone's scared of him. There was pain left. Pain, that he rarely felt since it was replaced by love from his friends. After that love left him he was left with pain, pain. Pain while standing in a dark alley, he was stripped of his powers, Sesshoumaru appeared in front of him, laughing at his stupid mistake of loving, protecting, and missing humans. Inuyasha hung his head in defeat blocking out everything, oblivious to everything around him. All he could think about was his friends. He didn't even notice the person who appeared in front of him. He finally snapped out of this state when..
"I-Inuyasha!" Kagome whispered, her white blouse stained with blood.
"Kagome! What happened! What's wrong!" Inuyasha screamed as he ran up to Kagome, forgetting his pain.
"Inuyasha, I wanted to tell you, you were the person who saved me, you were the person who I first met, the person who unfortunately hurt me, but also made me really happy, and you were the first person who I first..loved. I'm sorry I can't be with you (cough out some blood) sorry I can't be there for you. Stay strong and never forget to love. I'm sorry, thanks for everything, Inuyasha, come closer." Kagome whispered as Inuyasha leaned closer, "I Love You Inuyasha." With that Kagome's body when limp.
"KAGOME! KAGOME! KAGOMEEEEE! Why! Why did you leave me!!! Who did this! Kagome!! Please Kagome! Don't die! I..I..I LOVE YOU!! Kagome!! I LOVE YOU!! YOU HEAR ME! I LOVE YOU!!!! WAKE UP!!!! DON'T GO, please, don't..Kagome...don't leave me, please Kagome I love you.." Inuyasha cried, his voice was a bit muffled since he was hugging Kagome really hard and buried his wet face into her neck. He was crying, not those few tears back when Kagome got poisoned. He was literally crying his heart out for her, he loved her, and she died, without him even knowing who hurt her so badly or even letting her know he loved her. She really loved him all this time she's come to Sengoku Jidai, and all he ever did was get mad at her, blush, or go to Kikyou when Kagome was worried about him, which hurt Kagome's heart a lot. He never even knew Kagome loved him, for who he is hanyou or not. She didn't just stick by him so she could be protected; she would give her life to save him. He knew none of that, not until she died. Reality reared its ugly head and hit him-hard. He hoisted Kagome's limp body on his back and he desperately looked for Miroku, Sango, or Shippou, they couldn't die out on him, they just COULDN'T.
Desperately Inuyasha looked around, but couldn't find any familiar perverted houshi. Until-
"Ahhhg" Inuyasha cried out in shock as he flailed his arms, while holding Kagome, to maintain his balance. He had almost tripped on something, something soft, purple, and very human.
He almost tripped on Miroku, yes it was Miroku, he was lying on the floor, and eyes closed, and sweat beads on his head, clutching his right hand in pain.
"MIROKU! WAKE UP! I CAN'T LOSE YOU TOO!" Inuyasha cried instantly crouching next to Miroku screaming at him.
"Inuyasha, please de-defeat Naraku for me. Make sure he dies, even though my life ends here, if Kami-sama wills it, I'll give in. Inuyasha please. My bloodline also ends here (as in he has no heir top take his place, he has no family members), haha, guess I'll never be able to marry Sango, or at least touch her again." Miroku joked around, even though he was in deep pain. "Inuyasha! Why is Kagome-sama on your back? Why are you crying!" Miroku asked frantically.
"Miroku! Don't be stupid, stop talking bull! You WON'T die! I'll kill Naraku! I promise! Kagome, she, she, she-died. I don't know who hurt her so deeply. She died! She can't die, Miroku, don't bail out on me, stay alive!" Inuyasha said with passionate anguish in his voice.
"Inuyasha face reality, I'm going to die, you can't deny it. It's true; I am going to die. Kagome, get her revenge, Naraku did this to us that bastard, and Inuyasha.," Miroku whispered his voice almost cracking. "If you find Sango, and Shippou, please keep them alive. If not then what we did all together would soon be a memory, a memory forgotten, do me this favor Inuyasha, it's my death wish, please, please keep Sango and Shippou alive, I trust you ever since I met you Inuyasha, stop crying like that. The Inuyasha I know is a person who would take on any challenge and face reality, no matter how much it hurts. Kagome, I also know, doesn't want you to be like this, all of us, we know you as a person who doesn't give up and has a rude mouth, and is thick headed, and-heh heh sorry, I mean Inuyasha, pick yourself up. This black hole I knew was going to eat me away one day, and finally it did. Never forget us and we promise we'll never forget you, we couldn't even if we tried, you're one heck of a hanyou, a good one. You were the best hanyou there is. You protected us, and loved us as we love you. Don't give up whatever you do, Inuyasha. We know you tried, you tried your best to keep us alive, and you made it one hell of a good time. Inuyasha, trust more people, I-ugh" Miroku paused as he started to have tears leak silently out of his eyes, because of the pain, and facing the truth and saying good-bye. "Inuyasha, we've put our trust in you, and we chose the right person to depend on. I hope we have also been good companions-"
"Miroku stop, stop, STOP! You WON'T die! No, not now, not when I need you most! Get up!" Inuyasha cried out painfully into the dark sky, hoisting Miroku also up on his back.
"Inuyasha I can't make it, AAAHG, INUYASHA PUT ME DOWN! MY AIR-RIP-AHGG! IM GOING TO SUCK YOU IN ALONG WITH ME!! MOVE IT GO! REMEMBER MY DEATH WISH INUYASHA! YOU WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY GOOD FRIEND!" Miroku screamed as he flung himself away from Inuyasha, and his Air-rip ripped open and consumed him, and his parting words. All was left was his clothes, his purple robe. Everything was eerily silent. Very silent, so quiet, the soundless darkness was painful, no more laughing from Kagome, no more of her smiles, no more Miroku, no more of his perverted remarks. No more.
"MIROKU!!! MIROKU!! DON'T GO! MIROKU!!! STOP TALKING SO MUCH BULL! MIROKUUUUUUU! Please, please, please.stop" Inuyasha cried desperately, sinking to the floor, while grasping onto Kagome, and Miroku's remains.
'If you find Sango, and Shippou, please keep them alive. If not then what we did all together would soon be a memory, a memory forgotten, do me this favor Inuyasha, it's my death wish, please, please keep Sango and Shippou alive, I trust you ever since I met you Inuyasha, stop crying like that.'
"Sango! Shippou!! Please don't let me be too late!!" Inuyasha shot up quickly after saying that, hastily dismissing his unstable feelings.
He grabbed Kagome, and Miroku's remains and dashed off madly, sniffing for Sango's smell. He smelled it and walked towards it.
~SKKRSH~
It was the noise of something heavy grinding against the floor. Something boomerang shaped. It was Sango's boomerang, she was sitting up against her boomerang and breathing deeply.
"S-Sango! Please be all right! Sango!" Inuyasha said, with worry.
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha! Did you find Miroku, Kagome, or Shippou, or Kohaku? Inuyasha! Why-why is Kagome on your back, and why are you holding Miroku's clothes! Inuyasha! Don't-don't they-they can't, they can't! Don't tell me they died!" Sango screamed with a dread filled voice.
"Sango, I couldn't get there in time. Please, please tell me you're okay! What happened to you!" Inuyasha said eyeing her deeply bloody cut on her side and one on her back and another one on her thigh.
"Kohaku was under the control of Naraku and he ordered him to kill me but he couldn't so he cut me deeply and was about to kill me when he suddenly ran off. It's a deep cut, I won't make it, Inuyasha. Miroku, he died, HE DIED!" Sango cried as she gently hugged herself while crying. "Kagome, she, who, why! Kagome-chan, why. WHY! Why did they all die! Where is Shippou! He only a kid. Inuyasha! Save Shippou before it's too late, please, save him, don't let him die! Please don't cry okay! Don't it's not like you, stay strong like you told us. AUGH" Sango cried out in pain, "Inuyasha, go now, kill Naraku that bastard, get revenge for Kagome, Me, Miroku, and Kohaku, you can do it, save Kohaku, whatever you do, save him, please when this is all over, please bury us all together. Inuyasha, when your time comes, we'll meet you on the other side. Good-bye Inuyasha, save them, please." As Sango uttered the last word, she slumped over. Inuyasha cried out in anguish, and in pain. He grabbed Sango and dragged the boomerang. Where was Shippou?
"Shippou! Don't! Stop dying all of you! Wake up! Don't go!" Inuyasha cried out, but suddenly he heard a small whimper, sounded so familiar, so much like-
"SHIPPOU! SHIPPOU!" Inuyasha cried as he flung himself next to the small kitsune lying on the floor rasping.
"Shippou! Who did this to you? Who did this to Miroku, Sango, and Kagome! WHO! Shippou!" Inuyasha screamed, his voice echoing everywhere.
"Inuyasha! I'm sorry, I couldn't defend myself or any of my friends, I'm sorry, I tried to go against Naraku when Sango, Miroku, and Kagome were beaten, but he blasted us all apart and we went separate ways, he got each of us. I tried to fight back, but in the end, I couldn't, I'm just a weak kitsune that doesn't fit in with you guys." Shippou whimpered as he cried.
"Shippou, no you did your best, you really tried, your parents, Kagome, and all of us would be proud, and I am, just stay alive! Please! Don't leave me! Shippou you are my last hope, the last one of the ones I love most, Shippou don't leave." Inuyasha said while he picked up the small kitsune and held it like he was cradling it.
"Inuyasha, I'm sorry I was such a brat all the time. It was funny seeing you all mad, but in the end I want to tell you I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you. You are the greatest, I looked up to you like a big brother, so continue being who you are and be careful, be nicer to the little ones like me, we will all miss you Inuyasha!" Shippou cried as he hugged Inuyasha tightly.
"Shippou, don't worry, you wont be going anywhere. You were the most annoying little kitsune, yet you were a great pal to be with, don't go now. Anytime but now, Shippou." Inuyasha said as he patted the crying kitsune.
"Inuyasha, I want to say thank you on behalf of all of us, we will miss you, and please, whatever happens stay strong!" Shippou cried out and he too disappeared, and so did all of his friends on his back.
"SHIPPOU, KAGOME, MIROKU, SANGO! Don't go! Come on wake up, you guys, come back, COME BACK! Don't leave me, you guys were the ones I loved, the ones who were with me think or thin, and didn't even care if I was hanyou or not, you guys were there for me, you guys joked with me, and softened my heart. Come back! Come BACK!" Inuyasha screamed as he pounded the floor.
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
It all turned black, suddenly there was a dark blood-colored light, it illuminated Inuyasha.
"NARAKU! I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING TOUCH ONE HAIR ON THEM! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE THE ONES YOU LOVE?! NO! CAUSE YOU DON'T LOVE ANYONE! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! HOW COULD YOU KILL THEM! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS! DEARLY! YOU WILL PAY! I WILL GET MY REVENGE, NO MATTER WHAT!" Inuyasha screamed every word dripping with poison, hatred, and blood lust.
"Grrrr" Inuyasha started snarling and growling like a rabid dog. 'I lost myself again! What do I do! All I can do now is kill! Why won't Tetsusaiga work! Please DON'T tell me I turn demonic when I'm overly angry. This is bad.'
Suddenly Inuyasha turned back into himself again. There was definitely something wrong. The reality and pain shot through him like a bullet again, and he lowered his head in pain. He couldn't take it, no one he loved was left with him, they were GONE. Never coming back, never!
~ Bright Light ~
"Kagome? Kagome? Is that you? KAGOME! I-I thought you were dead? I don't understand, what's happening, why, what huh?" Inuyasha asked frantically, hoping he wasn't dreaming. (No pun intended)
"Inuyasha! Oh my god, I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you sooner. I have limited amount of time to tell you this, remember to tell Miroku and Sango, an Shippou, cause when they wake up they might believe it. Naraku has advanced powers now and he can make you fall asleep into dreams that you hope will NEVER come true, and he makes you feel it physically and mentally. It's like your living nightmare. He searches within your heart and looks for it. Then he makes it real to you, so you feel everything. When you wake up you will believe it's true. He is hoping this would eat away at you, and then you guys can become weaker. I couldn't tell you sooner cause I was blocked out, the dream had started with Kikyou, when she started talking to you, the dream started, so everything until now was a dream. Don't worry, it was your fears. I know this cause I think it's an advance in my miko powers!" Kagome quickly explained to Inuyasha. "Don't forget to wake up Sango and them, and tell them it's not true!!! I have to go now! I will be strong, don't worry Inuyasha, hurry." With that Kagome disappeared.
Everything turned dark again and..
~WHUMP~
Inuyasha accidentally smacked his own head onto the floor of Naraku's room. So it wasn't true! Thank god Kagome told him! He sat there for a few seconds and waited till his heart stopped aching, and he wiped away the tears on his face. He thought about what Kagome had said and he sat up, with his head spinning, looked around the room. The room had become fairly lighter so that he could see his companions. They were all sprawled out on the floor groaning and sweating. They either had tearstained faces or they were bleeding. A few hours had passed since they all blacked out. Inuyasha stumbled as he balanced to get up, but he fell back down. He crawled over to Miroku, carefully moving so the deep ache in his heart wouldn't hurt so much. It felt as if someone etched the pain into it, and used a knife to cut it in. He checked Miroku's air rip, thankfully it was still the same size. Good thing his dream wasn't real.
"Miroku, hey Miroku!" Inuyasha called out softly to the houshi on the floor unconscious, clutching his right hand, and moaning in pain. Miroku wouldn't wake up. He tried several times and even checked his heart beat to make sure they were okay. They were, it's wasn't a normal sleep, this one needed something to wake them up. Something that would specifically wake them up...
A/N: Hey how was that! Is it a cliffie? Please tell me it is!! Please! Yay! Did it jerk out any tears? If not then I'll try harder in my next one! Guess the next one! Yup it's Miroku's nightmare! Haha! Going to have lot of fun finding out his nightmare! ^_^ Happy Cliffies!
CLICK DA LITTLE BUTTON! YUP YUP! Ya know ya wanna! Click it! Review it! YAY!
Last comment: This chapter is going to be LONG. It might start getting boring if I dump the whole thing on once chapter, so I'm going to cut it up. I'm just going to do Inuyasha's dream in this one cause his dream is pretty long. Hope it's a tearjerker! Happy crying!
Disclaimer: Nope, never will, never did. Don't own Inuyasha and cast/crew blah! Or any of the songs I put in here.

Shippou heard a heavy thump on the floor, as if someone dropped asleep suddenly. Then he heard two other thumps, one as heavy as the first one and another one a little lighter.
"I-Inuyasha? M-Miroku, San-Sango?" Shippou stuttered in the darkness. Suddenly he felt queasy and sleepy, his eyelids drooped and blackness overwhelmed him in the already-dark room. There was a small thump as Shippou also fell to the floor asleep.
~* Inuyasha's Dream Sequence *~
"Um, where am I now? I was in the room with Miroku and Sango and Shippou. I should be asleep. I think this is a dream again." Inuyasha spoke to himself as it echoed around in the dark sky. Suddenly out of the darkness he saw a light. It was Kagome again.
"Kagome! Is this one of our dreams again?" Inuyasha called out.
"Inuyasha!!! Sort of, I was waiting for you I fell asleep in Naraku's room, but where are you?" Kagome asked.
"I came to his room, but he told me you left and then I also fell asleep. Kagome, are you all right?" Inuyasha questioned her.
"Inuyasha, this isn't a real meeting with both of us, Na- KYAA Inuyasha" Kagome screamed as she started disappearing and she was covered in blood.
Suddenly Kagome disappeared and was replaced by Kikyou. She had that cold glare on her face.
"K-Kikyou? KIKYOU! What? Huh? What, how come, what are you doing here and where did Kagome go? What was Kagome trying to tell me?" Inuyasha asked a little flustered.
"Heh, heh, apparently your little wench isn't here, is she?" Then Kikyou disappeared.
"What?! What's going on?" Inuyasha cried as suddenly the darkness in front of him changed into a dark alley. He walked through it and came to a sight he wished he'd never see, he saw his friends, Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippou all dead. They were in a deep sleep, or they were really dead.

Everything was there and it seemed perfect so far, but one thing was missing, he was missing. The scene showed no sign he ever existed with them. He walked over to Miroku.

"Kagome! Don't you remember me? Kagome!!!" Inuyasha cried out as he stepped closer to Kagome, she flinched visibly and backed up.
"Um, w-what do you want from us?" Sango asked with great calmness, but with a tint of terror.
"Sango, Miroku, Kagome, Shippou! Don't you remember me? Inuyasha!!!" Inuyasha cried desperately.

"No! Guys! That was BEFORE I met you guys! You're my friends! Have you forgotten! Miroku stop joking around! We're gathering the Shikon Shards together!" Inuyasha told Miroku.
"I can't trust you. We can't trust you. You are known to be dangerous and many people are under the influence of Naraku. So we can't trust you youkai!" Miroku exclaimed.
Inuyasha, felt that that remark hit a nerve. A tender nerve that he never felt since he was a child, but more painful.

I'm sorry I can't be with you (cough out some blood) sorry I can't be there for you. Stay strong and never forget to love. I'm sorry, thanks for everything, Inuyasha, come closer." Kagome whispered as Inuyasha leaned closer, "I Love You Inuyasha." With that Kagome's body when limp.
"KAGOME! KAGOME! KAGOMEEEEE! Why! Why did you leave me!!! Who did this! Kagome!! Please Kagome! Don't die! I..I..I LOVE YOU!! Kagome!! I LOVE YOU!! YOU HEAR ME! I LOVE YOU!!!! WAKE UP!!!! DON'T GO, please, don't..Kagome...don't leave me, please Kagome I love you.." Inuyasha cried, his voice was a bit muffled since he was hugging Kagome really hard and buried his wet face into her neck. He was crying, not those few tears back when Kagome got poisoned.

He almost tripped on Miroku, yes it was Miroku, he was lying on the floor, and eyes closed, and sweat beads on his head, clutching his right hand in pain.
"MIROKU! WAKE UP! I CAN'T LOSE YOU TOO!" Inuyasha cried instantly crouching next to Miroku screaming at him.
"Inuyasha, please de-defeat Naraku for me. Make sure he dies, even though my life ends here, if Kami-sama wills it, I'll give in. Inuyasha please. My bloodline also ends here (as in he has no heir top take his place, he has no family members), haha, guess I'll never be able to marry Sango, or at least touch her again." Miroku joked around, even though he was in deep pain. "Inuyasha! Why is Kagome-sama on your back? Why are you crying!" Miroku asked frantically.
"Miroku! Don't be stupid, stop talking bull! You WON'T die! I'll kill Naraku! I promise! Kagome, she, she, she-died. I don't know who hurt her so deeply. She died! She can't die, Miroku, don't bail out on me, stay alive!" Inuyasha said with passionate anguish in his voice.
"Inuyasha face reality, I'm going to die, you can't deny it. It's true; I am going to die. Kagome, get her revenge, Naraku did this to us that bastard, and Inuyasha.," Miroku whispered his voice almost cracking. "If you find Sango, and Shippou, please keep them alive. If not then what we did all together would soon be a memory, a memory forgotten, do me this favor Inuyasha, it's my death wish, please, please keep Sango and Shippou alive, I trust you ever since I met you Inuyasha, stop crying like that. The Inuyasha I know is a person who would take on any challenge and face reality, no matter how much it hurts. Kagome, I also know, doesn't want you to be like this, all of us, we know you as a person who doesn't give up and has a rude mouth, and is thick headed, and-heh heh sorry, I mean Inuyasha, pick yourself up. This black hole I knew was going to eat me away one day, and finally it did. Never forget us and we promise we'll never forget you, we couldn't even if we tried, you're one heck of a hanyou, a good one. You were the best hanyou there is. You protected us, and loved us as we love you. Don't give up whatever you do, Inuyasha. We know you tried, you tried your best to keep us alive, and you made it one hell of a good time. Inuyasha, trust more people, I-ugh" Miroku paused as he started to have tears leak silently out of his eyes, because of the pain, and facing the truth and saying good-bye. "Inuyasha, we've put our trust in you, and we chose the right person to depend on. I hope we have also been good companions-"
"Miroku stop, stop, STOP! You WON'T die! No, not now, not when I need you most! Get up!" Inuyasha cried out painfully into the dark sky, hoisting Miroku also up on his back.
"Inuyasha I can't make it, AAAHG, INUYASHA PUT ME DOWN! MY AIR-RIP-AHGG! IM GOING TO SUCK YOU IN ALONG WITH ME!! MOVE IT GO! REMEMBER MY DEATH WISH INUYASHA! YOU WERE AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY GOOD FRIEND!" Miroku screamed as he flung himself away from Inuyasha, and his Air-rip ripped open and consumed him, and his parting words. All was left was his clothes, his purple robe. Everything was eerily silent. Very silent, so quiet, the soundless darkness was painful, no more laughing from Kagome, no more of her smiles, no more Miroku, no more of his perverted remarks. No more.
"MIROKU!!! MIROKU!! DON'T GO! MIROKU!!! STOP TALKING SO MUCH BULL! MIROKUUUUUUU! Please, please, please.stop" Inuyasha cried desperately, sinking to the floor, while grasping onto Kagome, and Miroku's remains.
'If you find Sango, and Shippou, please keep them alive. If not then what we did all together would soon be a memory, a memory forgotten, do me this favor Inuyasha, it's my death wish, please, please keep Sango and Shippou alive, I trust you ever since I met you Inuyasha, stop crying like that.'
"Sango! Shippou!! Please don't let me be too late!!" Inuyasha shot up quickly after saying that, hastily dismissing his unstable feelings.
He grabbed Kagome, and Miroku's remains and dashed off madly, sniffing for Sango's smell. He smelled it and walked towards it.
~SKKRSH~
It was the noise of something heavy grinding against the floor. Something boomerang shaped. It was Sango's boomerang, she was sitting up against her boomerang and breathing deeply.
"S-Sango! Please be all right! Sango!" Inuyasha said, with worry.
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha! Did you find Miroku, Kagome, or Shippou, or Kohaku? Inuyasha! Why-why is Kagome on your back, and why are you holding Miroku's clothes! Inuyasha! Don't-don't they-they can't, they can't! Don't tell me they died!" Sango screamed with a dread filled voice.
"Sango, I couldn't get there in time. Please, please tell me you're okay! What happened to you!" Inuyasha said eyeing her deeply bloody cut on her side and one on her back and another one on her thigh.
"Kohaku was under the control of Naraku and he ordered him to kill me but he couldn't so he cut me deeply and was about to kill me when he suddenly ran off. It's a deep cut, I won't make it, Inuyasha. Miroku, he died, HE DIED!" Sango cried as she gently hugged herself while crying. "Kagome, she, who, why! Kagome-chan, why. WHY! Why did they all die! Where is Shippou! He only a kid. Inuyasha! Save Shippou before it's too late, please, save him, don't let him die! Please don't cry okay! Don't it's not like you, stay strong like you told us. AUGH" Sango cried out in pain, "Inuyasha, go now, kill Naraku that bastard, get revenge for Kagome, Me, Miroku, and Kohaku, you can do it, save Kohaku, whatever you do, save him, please when this is all over, please bury us all together. Inuyasha, when your time comes, we'll meet you on the other side. Good-bye Inuyasha, save them, please." As Sango uttered the last word, she slumped over. Inuyasha cried out in anguish, and in pain. He grabbed Sango and dragged the boomerang. Where was Shippou?
"Shippou! Don't! Stop dying all of you! Wake up! Don't go!" Inuyasha cried out, but suddenly he heard a small whimper, sounded so familiar, so much like-
"SHIPPOU! SHIPPOU!" Inuyasha cried as he flung himself next to the small kitsune lying on the floor rasping.
"Shippou! Who did this to you? Who did this to Miroku, Sango, and Kagome! WHO! Shippou!" Inuyasha screamed, his voice echoing everywhere.
"Inuyasha! I'm sorry, I couldn't defend myself or any of my friends, I'm sorry, I tried to go against Naraku when Sango, Miroku, and Kagome were beaten, but he blasted us all apart and we went separate ways, he got each of us. I tried to fight back, but in the end, I couldn't, I'm just a weak kitsune that doesn't fit in with you guys." Shippou whimpered as he cried.
"Shippou, no you did your best, you really tried, your parents, Kagome, and all of us would be proud, and I am, just stay alive! Please! Don't leave me! Shippou you are my last hope, the last one of the ones I love most, Shippou don't leave." Inuyasha said while he picked up the small kitsune and held it like he was cradling it.
"Inuyasha, I'm sorry I was such a brat all the time. It was funny seeing you all mad, but in the end I want to tell you I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused you. You are the greatest, I looked up to you like a big brother, so continue being who you are and be careful, be nicer to the little ones like me, we will all miss you Inuyasha!" Shippou cried as he hugged Inuyasha tightly.
"Shippou, don't worry, you wont be going anywhere. You were the most annoying little kitsune, yet you were a great pal to be with, don't go now. Anytime but now, Shippou." Inuyasha said as he patted the crying kitsune.
"Inuyasha, I want to say thank you on behalf of all of us, we will miss you, and please, whatever happens stay strong!" Shippou cried out and he too disappeared, and so did all of his friends on his back.
"SHIPPOU, KAGOME, MIROKU, SANGO! Don't go! Come on wake up, you guys, come back, COME BACK! Don't leave me, you guys were the ones I loved, the ones who were with me think or thin, and didn't even care if I was hanyou or not, you guys were there for me, you guys joked with me, and softened my heart. Come back! Come BACK!" Inuyasha screamed as he pounded the floor.
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
It all turned black, suddenly there was a dark blood-colored light, it illuminated Inuyasha.
"NARAKU! I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING TOUCH ONE HAIR ON THEM! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE THE ONES YOU LOVE?! NO! CAUSE YOU DON'T LOVE ANYONE! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE! HOW COULD YOU KILL THEM! YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS! DEARLY! YOU WILL PAY! I WILL GET MY REVENGE, NO MATTER WHAT!" Inuyasha screamed every word dripping with poison, hatred, and blood lust.
"Grrrr" Inuyasha started snarling and growling like a rabid dog. 'I lost myself again! What do I do! All I can do now is kill! Why won't Tetsusaiga work! Please DON'T tell me I turn demonic when I'm overly angry. This is bad.'
Suddenly Inuyasha turned back into himself again. There was definitely something wrong. The reality and pain shot through him like a bullet again, and he lowered his head in pain. He couldn't take it, no one he loved was left with him, they were GONE. Never coming back, never!
~ Bright Light ~
"Kagome? Kagome? Is that you? KAGOME! I-I thought you were dead? I don't understand, what's happening, why, what huh?" Inuyasha asked frantically, hoping he wasn't dreaming. (No pun intended)
"Inuyasha! Oh my god, I'm so sorry I couldn't tell you sooner. I have limited amount of time to tell you this, remember to tell Miroku and Sango, an Shippou, cause when they wake up they might believe it. Naraku has advanced powers now and he can make you fall asleep into dreams that you hope will NEVER come true, and he makes you feel it physically and mentally. It's like your living nightmare. He searches within your heart and looks for it. Then he makes it real to you, so you feel everything. When you wake up you will believe it's true. He is hoping this would eat away at you, and then you guys can become weaker. I couldn't tell you sooner cause I was blocked out, the dream had started with Kikyou, when she started talking to you, the dream started, so everything until now was a dream. Don't worry, it was your fears. I know this cause I think it's an advance in my miko powers!" Kagome quickly explained to Inuyasha. "Don't forget to wake up Sango and them, and tell them it's not true!!! I have to go now! I will be strong, don't worry Inuyasha, hurry." With that Kagome disappeared.
Everything turned dark again and..
~WHUMP~
Inuyasha accidentally smacked his own head onto the floor of Naraku's room. So it wasn't true! Thank god Kagome told him! He sat there for a few seconds and waited till his heart stopped aching, and he wiped away the tears on his face. He thought about what Kagome had said and he sat up, with his head spinning, looked around the room. The room had become fairly lighter so that he could see his companions. They were all sprawled out on the floor groaning and sweating. They either had tearstained faces or they were bleeding. A few hours had passed since they all blacked out. Inuyasha stumbled as he balanced to get up, but he fell back down. He crawled over to Miroku, carefully moving so the deep ache in his heart wouldn't hurt so much. It felt as if someone etched the pain into it, and used a knife to cut it in. He checked Miroku's air rip, thankfully it was still the same size. Good thing his dream wasn't real.
"Miroku, hey Miroku!" Inuyasha called out softly to the houshi on the floor unconscious, clutching his right hand, and moaning in pain. Miroku wouldn't wake up. He tried several times and even checked his heart beat to make sure they were okay. They were, it's wasn't a normal sleep, this one needed something to wake them up. Something that would specifically wake them up...
A/N: Hey how was that! Is it a cliffie? Please tell me it is!! Please! Yay! Did it jerk out any tears? If not then I'll try harder in my next one! Guess the next one! Yup it's Miroku's nightmare! Haha! Going to have lot of fun finding out his nightmare! ^_^ Happy Cliffies!
