Kagome cried until nothing was left, she felt empty inside like her heart had been torn from her chest. Inu Yasha's silver hair danced in the cold wind like fire, gently brushing across her face. Sleep took Kagome for a few hours allowing her to escape the cruel reality of life. When she awoke a thin layer of snow covered her and Inu Yasha like a blanket. The bare trees were covered with a layer of snow; clouds hung low in the sky only revealing some of the surroundings. Night had come once again. For the first time in a week the stars shone out like millions of lights. Inu Yasha's silver hair glowed pale in the faded light. That night the moon was large, but looked almost washed out, like it had been quickly painted in the sky. It felt like days had slid by since Inu Yasha's passing

Kagome sat up and looked down at him, "I was too late, I'm sorry Inu Yasha," she looked up at the sky, "Now am I left to linger on alone? Without you," those last words felt strange, like they weren't real. Kagome didn't even feel real herself, her body felt numb and cold. The icy wind blew across her face, she knew that it should feel cold, but could not sense anything.

Kagome sighed, "Maybe I should just leave this world," those last words sounded so wrong. Kagome could feel tears well up in her eyes. She closed them, not being able to bear looking at Inu Yasha after what she had said.

"Kagome, why are you crying?" a weak voice asked.

Kagome oppened up her eyes to see Inu Yasha looking at her. "Inu Yasha you're alright!" she threw herself on him hugging him tightly.

"Of course I'm fine," he spoke quietly his voice still shaky.

Kagome wanted to say more but didn't trust her voice, and made no reply. She just hugged him tighter, never wanting to let go. Kagome jumped in surprise when she felt Inu Yasha hug her as well. "Kagome, it's alright."

"I thought you were gone," she managed to said at last finding her voice. Kagome pulled away, joy and sorrow mingled in her eyes.

Inu Yasha sat up but did not say anything, and his eyes told Kagome nothing.

The trip down the mountain was very silent, the two didn't even look at one another. Kagome road on Storm as Inu Yasha refused to set foot on a beast like that. His wound on his forehead was healing up, and where he had been stabbed was virtually unnoticeable. Inu Yasha was back to his old self again, Kagome was sad to see his attitude come back as well.

The night was cold and windy, hardly the ending to this adventure Kagome was hoping for. Inu Yasha was very silent and kept to himself, he sat at the edge of the mountain looking down at the surroundings, thick fog lay at the bottom hiding the ground below. Kagome stood by Storm, debating if she should talk to him or not, finally she made her way over to him, he made no objection when she sat down beside him, but also never acknowledged her, Kagome had her cloak wrapped tightly around herself, the wind cut deep this night. She looked at him, his face had no expression. In Yasha did not speak, but his silence told more about how he was then words could ever say. Suddenly he looked over at Kagome, his face was serious.

"Kagome..." he stopped in mid sentence looking back down at the swirling mists below. Hopeing maybe she hadn't heard him.

"Yes," Kagome asked.

"Thank you," he whispered quietly, Kagome wasn't sure but she swore she could see a hint of sincerity and respect glimmer in his eyes as he spoke. His voice was not cocky, or even had a hint of disrespect. For the first time, he actually spoke to her like she was an equal to him.

Inu Yasha got up quickly, almost embarrassed of what he had said.

"Can you promise me something," Kagome asked. Not expecting a reply.

He stopped but did not turn around, "Yes?"

"Don't ever leave me again," Kagome closed her eyes ready for Inu Yasha to start laughing at her, but he only turned around and smiled. His eyes glowed in the dark, like gold catching the light.



"I'll always be with you, I can promise you that," he said calmly as he walked into the darkness .

The End.

I hope you like the ending it was short because I didn't want it to drag out, and I really didn't know the best way to end this.. I hope to be writing another story some time. Thanks for reading this.

C victim.
