A/N: Hey minna-san! Sorry it took so long, I just got writers' block (or is it laziness?), and I know it might seem unbelievable since I haven't been updating for a while, but the truth is that during the time I wasn't updating I was at school and half the time doing homework and balancing on top of that Saturday prep school and on top of even that, I have been feeling very tired and troubled lately. Well enough of this lets start off my story. Oh yeah one more thing, I used to use Microsoft Word but since my computer crashed I got a new one and it doesn't have Microsoft Word, it has Word Perfect but W.P doesn't save in .doc format, but some other I can't remember right now and fanfic wont accept it, so I have to use Notepad, but notepad doesn't have any grammar checking or stuff so it'll take a while for me to write it out without grammatical errors, check it over,

and just try to make it as best as possible. FINALLY onto the story! I've finally found

sometime to do this, I mean I have been inspired long ago already, it's just that I've

been putting stuff off, sorry. Read my disclaimer please, for the benefit of you and

for this chapter.

Disclaimer:I don't own Inuyasha, but bet one day I'll have an anime of my own! :] Songs

used: "Iris" by Googoodolls, I love that song ^_^ perfect song for my latest chappie,

you must get that song, or hear it, as you read this chapter, fits perfectly.

Warning: Well it'll be sad, but I don't know if I have lost a thing or two from not

writing for so long, so forgive me if it's not how it used to be.

(The title is Different because I wanted 2 titles, cause they both fit this chappie ^^)

The Decision



My Tears

Inuyasha woke up inside Kaede's hut. He opened his eyes to see sunlight

streaming out of the windows and Sango, Miroku, and Shippou peering at him anxiously.

He was sore and wrapped up in a bandage, and it ached all over.

"What....happened? Kagome...Kagome? Where's Kagome!?!?"

Suddenly everything flashed back to Inuyasha....the fight...the deaths...the

light..and Kagome's dead body...limp and still.

"..Miroku, Sango, Shippo, you're alive...I've been acting like an idiot all through

this journey with you guys, I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."Inuyasha whispered as he looked

away..his eyes disfocused, even though all three of them knew he meant it.

"Inuyasha...."Miroku said his voice full of concern.

"Huh? What's wrong?..."

"Are you sure you are okay?" Miroku asked hesitantly, his warm eyes portraying a look of

worry.

"Yeah, better than ever..." Inuyasha replied a little to fast,"never felt better...

never.."

"Inuyasha, don't hide it from us, we can see it, Inuyasha, please..." Sango pressed

on, her voice full of worry like Miroku's.

Inuyasha strained a little trying to get up, using his katana's point as a

cane, he hobbled onward outside. Before leaving his friends clueless he called back,

"Don't come after me, I'm ok, really I am."

"Inu-"

"Don't"Inuyasha whispered, his voice cracking as he faltered a bit.

"Don't! You are not fully healed yet, it's only been three days healing, and still

counting!!" Inuyasha ignore his friends as he left.

Inuyasha walked outside, the sky menacing with gray sad rain clouds hanging

overhead. He took a deep breath and winced as it reopened his wounds.'Damn Damn Damn

Damn DAMN' Inuyasha cursed mentally,'why does this happen, why..god I'm such an idiot

..why did I do this...why did she get in this mess, why did she get dragged down...with

me...'. Inuyasha winced as he deliberately dropped his katana and tried to walk without

it. He knew exactly where Kagome was...exactly.

Inuyasha arrived at the God Tree, and saw it, Kagome laid out peacefully in her

school clothes, not bloodied anymore, and mended, thanks to the Shikon light that

healed her, as well as taking her life.

"Kagome. Oh god Kagome..I'm so sorry...Kagome...please.." Inuyasha sad barely audible

as he kneeled besides her. He picked up her head and let her lay oh his legs, like

Kagome did for him, once upon a time ago, a time far, far, away, a time he longed for

once again.

"Kagome, come on! Wake up damn it! Wake UP!" Inuyasha pleaded as he held Kagome

tightly, his cries of anguish scaring some birds off in the distance.

"My decision was totally wrong, I made a mistake I can't take back....cause of me, no

one will ever be able to see you laugh again, to see your beauty, and to see you..

Kagome...I won't be able to tell you that..I...Love...you." Inuyasha cried in anger,

a few drops of tears rolling down his cheeks, his ears were pressed flat forward against

his head, as he bowed his head in shame and remorse.

"I had so much to tell you, but now, I can't...I just can't..it's no use, I can't bring

you back...tears can't bring you back..I'll be all alone again, because Shippo will

grow up, Sango and Miroku will, you know...and...Kikyou...Kikyou's not here anymore,

she's not alive anymore....she's not..."

"Kagome...you understand who I am, even if I'm acting defiant, you understand..the real

me..."

And I'd give up forever to touch you

'Cause I know that you feel me somehow

You're the closest to heaven that I've ever been

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

and sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

"Kagome, I killed you, I caused your death...I deserve to take your place....I.."

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

"...I deserve to die...instead of you...you protected me...why Kagome..why..I don't

deserve it.."

And I don't want the world to see me

'Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

"You understood me, when no one took the time to find out who I was really, when no one

trusted me...when no one believed in me...no one had any faith in me...degraded me...

hated me..feared me..didn't understand me..no one believed in my words..but you did...

you mean a lot to me, no matter what anyone says...you know...I love you...nothing can

change the way I feel...even in death...you would know me....instantly....even if the

world forgot me...you'd never don't forget me..."

Suddenly the Shikon Jewel fell out of Kagome's pocket and Inuyasha fingered it.

He remembered the time Kagome had come out of the well, came to him, how she cracked

the jewel, the first time she cried for him, the time she was abducted, the whole

situation with that peach man, who ate others, and he remembered the time she saw him

hug Kikyou with such desire and pain, last of all he remembered Kagome, coming back

from her time period and promising him that she'll stay with him forever.

"Kagome...you promised me you'll stay with me, but now you left me, and I left you..we

broke our promise...cause of me...once again..protecting...Kikyou...Kikyou's not at

fault...its mine isn't it...I should've paid more attention to..you..to your feelings

..I was such an idiot..." Inuyasha said, while he stared long and hard at the jewel, he

didn't notice Kouga, sitting on a tree limb up high above. Apparently he had been there

before Inuyasha, and hid before he saw him. Kouga was clenching his fists in anger,

trying to keep in the pain he had felt too. 'That damn Inuyasha, how dare he even come

and show his face. I may have saved him once, but it doesn't change the fact that he has

disappointed all by choosing Kikyou, that bitch, that damned conniving bitch. God,

Kagome died, she's really dead...' Kouga thought as he blinked back the tears that were

about to flow out. Inuyasha was also crying silently to himself. 'I thought not being

accepted, being different, being unloved was true pain. But making a mistake, hurting

the ones I love hurts much more. Mistakes were said to be made so we can learn from

them, but this mistake I can't learn from. I can never undo the damage I have done to

everyone...'. His tears fell on Kagome. Kouga was crying freely now, his tears dripping

off his face. One tear dropped and it fell down, it was a hair's width away from

dripping on the Shikon that Inuyasha was holding, but it missed. It was a fraction of

the smallest measurement in the world away, but it missed, just as Inuyasha's tears

fell, but his tears reached the target, the dead on middle of the Shikon jewel and

beautiful lavender light erupted from it. Everything was blinded. Kikyou stood in the

background about to go to Inuyasha, and Kouga jumped out of the trees and blocked

Kikyou from going to them. Before the light blinded them all, he saw, his teardrop

missed, but Inuyasha's hit target, which erupted the white light. 'Inuyasha, you may

not have noticed, but I loved Kagome truly and deeply but in the end I missed her

heart, she didn't love me back. But you, you hit dead target, you got ahold of her

heart, but u caused her pain. She loved you, she truly did, but she died in pain

because of you. I feel something is going to happen soon, and if you ever get your

chance to heal her wounds, those deep wounds in her heart that ripped it apart once, no

more than once, countless times, you better make sure you don't re-do that same mistake,

or I wont help you again, I wont block this bitch from distracting your love and you,

if you make the same mistake are truly dead.' he thought as he knocked Kikyou away from

her target and he collapsed. The white light blinded everyone there, where there was a

point of no return.
