!!!!VERY IMPORTANT AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER!!!!!

***

I sung that part, with all my heart and soul. I mean it, Inuyasha. You will be etched in my memories, and every tear I shed for you, is my love. How much I will miss you. How much of your kindness I can't live without. All of your promises to be made..

"Back then, when we met,

it was all awkward.

We went the long way, didn't we?"

Inuyasha. I love you.

"We got there in the end..."

(End Kagome P.O.V)

Kagome was crying like no tomorrow, sobbing her heart out, longing for her to come and hold her in his strong arms. But.. it wasn't going to happen.

After that song, everyone, even the strong men, the little kids, the teenagers, everyone, was crying for her. It was so.. sad.

"Keep this with you.. I have my memories, and a part of you always with me. Take this with you.." She took off her ring, and dropped it in the icy depths, never to resurface.

She stood up and looked down in there one more time. "Inuyasha, I love you." She let out one last tear, and walked out to his car. Everyone cleared the way for her, as she went and sat on the hood of his car.

Sango was about to go after her, and Miroku stopped her. "Let her be alone."

Sango nodded, grimly, letting out many tears for her lost friend. Likewise, Miroku.

Kagome sat there, looking at the snowflakes falling, and crying her eyes out into her hands. "Inu..yasha.. Inuya..sha.. INUYASHA!!!" She screamed out into the night, tears dropping and landing in the snow.

"Why.. why did you leave me.. Inuyasha.. please.. come back." She sobbed out, into the night, unheard.

"I came back for you when I was practically dying, please.. do the same for me.. I want you, no, I NEED you here with me.." She looked up at the brightest star.

"I know.. what I have to do.." She took a deep breath. "..Star, please, grant my wish tonight, for it will be the last time I have an angel flight. Take my powers, away from me. For it may do good, for other than thee. Bring it to Inuyasha, in the afterlife, or wherever he is now, so he may be protected by arth thou..." Her power started seeping away from her, as she continued. "Help him on his hard journeys, and make sure he doesn't forget the times we had together. For I am giving him, my life power. May he be safe and peaceful, for the rest of time, for I give him my love."

The powers escaped her body, never to return to her again. She was as mortal as anyone now, still letting the tears drop from her cheeks. She loved him, so she gave up her powers to protect him, no matter what happened to him.

She opened the door, since she left her side unlocked, and laid down on the leather seats. She closed her eyes, and fell into a deep slumber..

"I love you too, and I'd do anything for you, Kagome..."

....Who....said....that....?

Those thoughts entered his mind as he registered where he was, and how he got there. He was lying on the bottom of some body of water, freezing, not being able to move, and basically, drowning. He couldn't breathe, and tried to swim up, when he noticed, something landed on his index finger.

It was the ring he gave Kagome. He touched it, and a scene played before his eyes.

*Scene*

"It would be nice if we could put away and throw out...

everything except what really mattered, but...

reality is just cruel."

She began to sing the lyrics to a really depressing song she heard once. It showed exactly the emotions she was feeling now, and Inuyasha always loved to know her emotions, for if it was sad, he would make her happy..

"In such times,

I see you laughing...

whenever I close my eyes."

His laugh, his smile. Everything. He would always try and help her out when she was in need, and defend her. But, where was he now? Could he hear her? Was he in this world..?

She only hoped for the best. Tears escaped her eyes once more.

Inuyasha, I will never forget you. I will love you.. for eternity. You were my first, true, REAL love, and my last. I will not love anyone after you, because I will forever wait for you, in the next life.

I will try and live my life as if it were normal again. But I will never abandon the memories we have had together, and the hope that more will come. Inuyasha, please, let your sprit be with me..

In the beginning, we were enemies, but, we in the end, were happy. We took the long way in getting hurt, but, it was still worth it. There's nothing that I regret, and I would never trade my memories for anything..

"Until the day I reach eternal sleep,

that smiling face will,

have to stay with me without fail."

I sung that part, with all my heart and soul. I mean it, Inuyasha. You will be etched in my memories, and every tear I shed for you, is my love. How much I will miss you. How much of your kindness I can't live without. All of your promises to be made..

"Back then, when we met,

it was all awkward.

We went the long way, didn't we?"

Inuyasha. I love you.

"We got there in the end..."

Yeah, he's back and ready to go see Kagome!! Be happy, and wait 'till chapter 36! Yay! ^.^ Okay, I'm going to tell you now, I'm not sure if I will be posting chapter 37, its a lemon. So, what I may do, is just get rid of that chapter and go on from there.

The reason is:

1. Because I have a fear that someone might report me, and this story will be done.

2. They will delete this story, PLUS my other fics, and I don't want that to happen.

3. Its more than a R rating, more like NC-17

So, I hope you respect my decision. Please, understand. Maybe later I'll.. um.. post a link to it somewhere. I don't know.. but maybe I'll post it and clean it up a bit. Well, talk to you later about this matter.
