10. A Crucial Decision (Ending 1)
Kagome opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Inuyasha's feet. He was sitting next to her with his legs in a crossed position. Kagome slowly sat up. She took and deep breath and exhaled it.
Inuyasha asked, "All right Kagome, something's wrong. You're hiding something and Sango won't tell me what it is. Tell me." Kagome took another deep breath. She closed her eyes and remembered the dream she had.
The dream had been about her family. Her family had smiled at her and hugged her, asking a bunch of questions she wasn't able to answer orally. Sota had said, "What's wrong Kagome? Cat got you're tongue?" Kagome had stuck out her tongue, then hugged her family again, and that's where the dream ended.
Kagome swallowed, trying to get ready for what the dream had told her. Kagome said with a scratchy, unused voice, "Inuyasha." Inuyasha blinked in surprise. Kagome cleared her throat and said, "Inuyasha there's something I have to tell you. It's really important so don't interrupt." Inuyasha nodded. Kagome said, "I've been keeping something from you for awhile now. I was scared to tell you, I didn't know how you'd react. After talking with Sango I realize I have to tell you regardless of the consequences." Kagome closed her eyes and swallowed again.
Now everyone else was awake and sitting up as well, listening tentatively to Kagome. Kagome couldn't open her eyes, she was too scared. She started shaking, taking shuddering breaths but not crying. Sango stood up, walked over to Kagome, and knelt next to her. Sango said comfortingly, while putting a hand on Kagome's back, "It's ok Kagome. You have to do this. Whatever happens you'll be ok, I'll make sure of it." Kagome opened her eyes and smiled at Sango, then nodded.
Kagome brought her eyes to meet Inuyasha's. She said with a trembling voice, "It all started a few weeks ago. I had been having the same horrible nightmare for days on end. The day I left to go home and take a math test at school was when it happened. I got home from school and...." Kagome proceeded to tell Inuyasha everything that happened that day. Inuyasha could only stare at Kagome with wide eyes and mouth hanging open.
Kagome continued with the story, "About two weeks ago I went to the hospital to visit my family." Kagome was now crying, but continued, "I went into the room and they weren't there. A nurse came in and said that there were complications with their wounds. They had died. I fainted and when I regained conciousness I couldn't speak, I was mute. Whenever I went home recently I would always go to their graves, offering flowers and prayers for their souls. I want to let you know Inuyasha that I don't blame you, not at all. That wasn't you who attacked them." Inuyasha said, "Are you blind? It was me that attacked and killed your family. It was me that caused you so much pain. I only know one way to deal with this." Inuyasha grabbed Kagome in his arms, Kagome still holding onto her backpack, stood up, and ran as fast as he could to the well.
Sango yelled, "Inuyasha!", then climbed onto the transformed Kilala, along with Miroku and Shippo. They ran after the two as fast as Kilala could carry them.
Inuyasha was now at the well. Kagome was struggling in his arms, tears streaming down her cheeks, screaming, "Inuyasha, no! NO!" Inuyasha said quietly, "I'm sorry Kagome."
Sango and the others were just in time to see Inuyasha throw Kagome down the well. Sango screamed, "NO!" Miroku and Shippo could only stare with wide eyes.
Inuyasha looked down at his hand. In his hand he held the jewel shards that Kagome had had. Now Kagome had no jewel shards, no way of getting back to this time. Inuyasha turned around and was met with a very angry Sango. Sango screamed at him, "I promised her everything was going to be ok. I told her she'd stay here. How could you do that?! Do you not know how much pain she is in?" Inuyasha replied angrily, "Pain that I caused!" Sango didn't know how to reply. Inuyasha ran off before any of them could stop him.
Kagome looked up from where she lay on the bottom of the well. Inuyasha's words rang through her head, "I'm sorry Kagome." Tears streamed down Kagome's face. Inuyasha had stolen her jewel shards, now she had no way to go back to the Sengoku Jidai. Kagome curled up, and cried some more until she had fallen asleep.
Inuyasha sat in one of the higher branches of the Goshinboku. ' How could I have done such a thing? How could I have done that to Kagome? At least she's safe from me in her own time.'
Kagome opened her eyes and found herself at the bottom of the well. All the events from earlier rushed into her head. Kagome got up and climbed the ladder out of the well.
When she left the wellhouse she went to her family's graves. She knelt and prayed until the sun set. Then she went inside. She went to her room and layed on her bed, staring at the ceiling and wondering, ' How could Inuyasha have done this to me? It just proves he doesn't care about me. Sango said everything was going ok. She's such a liar, I hate her! I hate them all! They abandoned me! Everyone's abandoned me!' Kagome flopped over and buried her face in her pillow, too tired to even cry.
The sun was just rising in the sky in the Sengoku Jidai. Inuyasha watched it from his perch. As the sun rose he remembered what Kagome had said that he hadn't payed attention to before, "...I don't blame you, not at all." As she had fallen through the well he had heard Kagome say softly, "I love you. Goodbye."
It came to Inuyasha that what he had done, throwing her into the well was one of the worst things he had ever done. Sango was right, Kagome was probably in more pain than him. She had no one now that he had thrown her down the well. He would go and bring her back, apologize for everything, tell her how he loved her too. Inuyasha stood and jumped from the tree, then ran to the well.
Sango watched Inuyasha leave his branch of the Goshinboku and run off. ' He's heading to the well. Finally the blockhead realized it.' Sango looked over and saw Miroku watching as well. They both smiled at each other.
Kagome sat in front of the shrine, adjacent to the wellhouse. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She slowly pulled the knife out its sheath and held it poised at her heart. She gripped the knife tighter and plunged it into her heart.
Inuyasha had just jumped out of the well and had opened the wellhouse door to a horrible sight. Kagome on her knees with a knife in her heart, her hands clutching the hilt of the knife. He ran forward as fast as he could and caught her before she slumped forward. He said paniced, "Kagome!" Kagome said with her last breath, "Inuyasha, I love you." then died. Inuyasha tried to draw in breath but found he was having trouble breathing. His breath came in fast pants. He pulled Kagome more onto his lap and shook her gently, calling softly, "Kagome?" Then he got louder, "Kagome! Kagome! Come back!" Tears were now streaming down Inuyasha's cheeks. He circled his arms tighter and hugged Kagome's body to his. He said, "Kagome, I love you too." then lifted Kagome's head and planted a kiss on Kagome's lips. It was their first kiss but Kagome would never feel it.
Inuyasha took Kagome's body in his arms and stood up, heading for the well.
'The others have to know about this.' Inuyasha jumped into the well.
Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kaede, and Kilala were all waiting by the well. Suddenly Shippo smelled Inuyasha's scent. In a second Inuyasha had jumped out of the well. The sight that greeted them shocked them all. Kagome lifeless in Inuyasha's arm, with a knife in her chest. Sango fell to her knees and said, "No. NO, IT CAN'T BE!" then started crying. Miroku went to his knees and drew Sango into a hug. Shippo started wailing, "Kagome!" while crying loudly. Kaede grabbed Shippo and held him, while staring grimly at Kagome's body. Kaede asked, "Inuyasha, is she really?" Inuyasha nodded grimly. That made everyone cry louder.
Inuyasha said, "I'm going to bury her with her family. I brought her here because you all wouldn't believe me if I didn't bring proof. It'd be best to say your goodbyes now." Sango, Miroku, and Shippo rushed forward, while Inuyasha layed Kagome's body gently on the ground. Sango took Kagome's hand in her two hands and kissed her hand while saying, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry all this happened to you. You were the best friend I ever had. I'll never forget you." She bent down and kissed Kagome's forehead, then put her hand down. Miroku came forward and placed a hand on Kagome's forehead, saying, "Kagome, you were a true friend. Pure hearted, always cheerful, always helpful, and so strong. May your soul rest in peace forever and may your next life be a glorious one." He said the last sentence while putting a hand up to his chest in prayer, the other hand still on her forehead. Miroku took his hand from her forehead and stepped back.
Shippo ran forward and buried his head between Kagome's breasts, sobbing. "Why, Kagome, why? You were like a second mother to me. I love you so much. I hope you're happier where you are. I'm always going to remember you." Kaede knelt next to Kagome's body and put her hands together in prayer. "Kagome, you were a wonderful person and were becoming a very strong miko. I hope that your soul rests in peace."
Shippo sniffed and smelled the scent of Inuyasha's tears all over Kagome's body. Inuyasha said, "I'm taking her back now and burying her with her family." Sango asked, "Aren't you going to offer a prayer?" Inuyasha replied, "I already offered about a million of them and I'm going to offer more over her grave." Sango nodded, Inuyasha jumped into the well.
Inuyasha had just finished burying Kagome. He put a large boulder at the head of her grave and used his claws to engrave this message:
"Higurashi Kagome. 1982-1997. Loved life and was always cheerful. Loved many people and was loved back just as much. Her presence will stay with us forever. May her soul rest in peace." Inuyasha placed flowers he had picked from the garden and placed them on the grave. He knelt on the grave and clasped his hands in prayer. He closed his eyes and offered a million prayers for Kagome's soul, praying also that their souls would meet again.
