Already There
Inuyasha stared up at Kagome. With his vision all blurry, he couldn't see the tears in Kagome's eyes, but he knew she was crying. He had felt one of her tears fall onto his cheek.
'Why is she crying for me? Does she have feelings for me like I do for her? I have to tell her; before it's too late.'
Inuyasha could feel his life ebbing away. Every breath was a struggle.
"Kagome I . " he looked away.
'Damnit. Why can't I tell her? Every time I try, I just can't say it.'
"Inuyasha, what is it?"
Inuyasha opened his mouth like he was about to say something, but decided otherwise.
'Damnit. How am I gonna tell her? It's almost too late.'
He struggled to sit up, and Kagome helped him. He could now clearly see her tear-stained cheeks. Looking into her tear-filled eyes, he said the first thing that came to his mind.
"I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beating in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there till the end"
His golden eyes clouded over and closed.
~`~`~ ~`~`~ ~`~`~
Kagome felt Inuyasha's body go limp in her arms. Unable to hold back the tears any longer, she hugged his lifeless body, and began to cry.
"Please don't leave me. I love you. I've always loved you, since the first time I met you. Don't go."
Miroku walked over, and kneeled down beside her. He put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry Kagome. There was nothing we could have done. Inuyasha's gone," he said softly.
~`~`~End of Flashback~`~`~
Kagome walked back over to her bed and laid down. She closed her eyes, and tried to fall asleep, but every time she closed her eyes she saw Inuyasha laying on the ground; dead.
'Why can't I get him out of my head? Maybe some music will help.'
Kagome rolled over and turned her radio on.
//I'm already there//
Kagome sat up with a start. She leaned over to her radio, and turned up the volume.
//Don't make a sound//
Her eyes widened, and her face went pale.
'That song. That's the song Inuyasha told me before he died.'
She leaned closer to the radio, so she could listen better.
//I'm the beating in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there till the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
I'm already there//
'That's what he was trying to tell me. He wanted to tell me he loved me, but he never got the chance.'
Kagome got out of bed, and put on some warm clothes.
'The least I can do is go to his grave. Maybe then I'll stop having that dream.'
She picked up the necklace with the finished Shikon no Tama on it, and put it around her neck.
She then walked downstairs to the kitchen, and quickly scribbled down a note telling her mom where she'll be and when she'd probably be back. Leaving it where her mom would surely find it, she walked out the door, and over to the old well house. When she was right in front of the well house, she stopped.
'Maybe I shouldn't do this. I haven't been in Feudal Japan for practically a year.'
She stood there, thinking about whether or not to go on with it. Finally, she made up her mind and opened the door. She walked over to the well, and taking a deep breath jumped down it.
~`~`~ On the other side ~`~`~
Kagome blinked a couple of times, then climbed out of the well. She looked around at the all too familiar clearing. Even though it had been nearly a year since she had last been here, it hadn't changed at all. Inuyasha's grave was underneath the tree he was pinned to for fifty years. Walking over to it, she removed the Shikon no Tama from around here neck. She kneeled down, and placed it on the simple cross marker, marking his grave.
Suddenly the Shikon no Tama started to glow an eerie red, and there was a blinding light. Kagome shielded her eyes with her arms. When the light subsided, she looked up. There standing in front of her was .
