Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha

A/N: Sorry to everyone who wanted a sequel, I was going to make one but then I decided to not to. I don't know why but I hope everyone sorta likes this chapter even though it's…well you'll see.

Chapter 30- The Church Bells Are Ringing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

~Summer Vacation~

Kagome sat in the den flipping aimlessly through the channels. It was just too hot to do anything, the fan in the window above her didn't help cool off the room either. Half her family had gone with their Father to Fire Island for two weeks. The other half stayed home with their Mother. Kagome had stayed home because even though it would be a lot cooler and probably more fun she didn't want to be associated, at that point, with any of them that went. 

~Three days ago…Flashback~

"What do you want NOW?" Kagome asked snappily at Ayame. The heat was definitely getting to everyone.

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to come to Fire Island for then next two weeks" Ayame answered with just as much malice.

"Well ya know what? I don't! So leave me ALONE!!!!" Kagome said, as she shoved Ayame out the door of her room and slammed the door in the smaller girl's face.

"BE THAT WAY!" Ayame yelled at the door, then turned around and stalked down the stairs.

~End Flashback~

So now she was stuck having absolutely no fun whatsoever. It was nice though not having a million people trying to get her to do stuff with them. She got bored and turned the T.V. off, she lay on the couch for a few seconds then slowly rolled off the couch onto the floor. She picked herself off the floor and walked into the kitchen and picked up the phone receiver. She punched Inu-Yasha's number in and put it up to her ear.

"Hello?" A gruff voice on the other end questioned.

"Hi, is Inu-Yasha there?" Kagome asked in a bored tone.

"One minute" A muffled shout was heard and then pounding on steps. A few seconds later Inu-Yasha came on.

"Hello?" He said yawning

"Hey, Inu-Yasha. It's Kagome do you want to do something today?" She asked still in a bored tone.

"Sure, what?"

"Can I come over your house? Maybe we can play a board game or something" 

"Ok, see you in a few then"

"See ya" Kagome said then hung up the phone. 'Yes! I'm not going to be sweating by just sitting anymore' She thought as she ran out the front door not bothering to put shoes on. She was wearing an orange cotton shirt with Lacrosse shorts sporting their schools' name and colors. She rang the doorbell and Inu-Yasha answered the door, he was dressed similarly except his shorts were of the college his brother was going to. 

"You don't waste a second do you?" He asked as he quickly opened the door and let her in and closed the door. His house had central air conditioning.

"Ahhh. It's so nice in here" she commented as she walked further into the house. "So what do you want to do?" 

"Come on, I know what you want to do even if you don't want to say it" He led the way to the game room and picked up a board game. The box was blue with bright primary colors; it was the game 'trouble'. Kagome's face lit up as he took the game from the shelf and set it on the table. He set it up and soon they were playing full force, the popper going off every few seconds. It was an all out battle to get their pieces in the home and right at the end of the game Inu-Yasha accidentally hit the popper too hard. As the plastic caved in and made a loud cracking noise Kagome's eyes widened.

"You broke it," She stated as she stared at the broken pieces lying on the board.

"Ooops" was all Inu-Yasha said as he looked sheepishly over to Kagome.

"That was the third game you broke this month, and I really like this one too." She looked at it for a few more seconds then took the ends of the board and snapped it closed. She carried it into the kitchen and threw it in the garbage. She then went back for the box and other pieces and threw them out also. She sat down again and asked "now what are we going to play?"

They heard the front door open, and then close and they ignored it. "Inu-Yasha? Sesshomaru? Come here" Inu-Yasha's fathers' booming voice echoed through the house.

"Coming" Inu-Yasha said as he got up and motioned for Kagome to also go. As they went into the living room at the front of the house Sesshomaru, who was going down the stairs joined them. They all arrived at the living room together and sat down on the couch.

"Oh hello Kagome" Inu's father said as he realized she was there also. "It's a good thing you're here too." He turned then to his sons. "I have all next month off so I thought we would visit your mothers' family in Kyoto."

"I don't care" Sesshomaru said in his usual indifferent voice. "Is that all?"

"No, I wanted to know if Kagome would like to come since she comes from that area." He turned to her, "Would you like to come?"

"Actually I'm not from Kyoto, I'm from Tokyo. My family was actually going to Kyoto when their plane crashed." She answered. "But I would like to go back, it would be nice to be there again. If that's not a problem."

"Why would it be? I'll talk with your parents and see what they say."   

~A week later~

"Bye Kagome! Have fun" Her mother called as the car backed up out of the driveway and she was left behind. Kagome was going to Kyoto with Inu-Yasha's family and they were on their way to the airport. About an hour later they pulled into the parking lot and found a parking space near the back. All the good spots were all ready taken. They unloaded the car and carried their own luggage as they began the hike through the parking lot. It took about fifteen minutes just to get to the doors and then another fifteen minutes to go through the security and drop off their luggage so it would be transported with them. They went to their flight entrance and found that they weren't loading yet so they all found seats to wait. Kagome had her carry on bag full with c.d.s, books, and snacks to keep her occupied. She rested her head on Inu-Yasha's shoulder and felt herself grow increasingly tired. Her eyelids closed as she breathed in Inu-Yasha's scent. He always smelled like a field of grass and a light breeze.

"Hey, Kagome. Wake up we're being called" Inu-Yasha's soft voice floated to her ears. She stirred and woke up just enough to see everyone was boarding then without realizing she got up, picked up her bag, got out her ticket and went to the gate with Inu-Yasha. She got onto the plane; found her seat with assistance since she was still a little groggy. She flopped down into her seat and immediately fell asleep again. Her seatbelt was buckled by Inu-Yasha since he was sitting next to her and he then reclined back into his own chair. When Kagome woke up again they were already in the air and had been for a little while. Her neck was hurting a little as she stretched as best she could. Inu-Yasha was reading and when he noticed she had woken up he put the book down.  

"How long until we land? She asked

"A while, it seems we're still over the ocean" he replied.  

"Oh" was all she said. The plane then abruptly shook and everyone was jumped a little. A man's voice over the intercom came on.

"There is no problem we are just experiencing some turbulence." He said in English, then in Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, and German. Kagome's mid flashed back to the news report she had seen so many months ago. 'The turbulence turned deadly as…' The report played in her minds eye as she remembered everything. Her eyes grew wide and she started to shake.

"Kag? Are you ok?" Inu questioned as he looked at her, worry evident in his eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes and threatened to spill over. "Come on don't cry, it's nothing big." The plane jolted again and the tears spilled over uncontrollably as she bent over and buried her face in her legs. It jolted yet again and she whimpered. Inu-Yasha rubbed her back in circular motions. "Hey come on it's not that bad. Nothings going to happen, I promise"

She sat up again. "Don't make promises you can't keep" She looked out the window and the sky was now all but black. "I didn't tell you but the news report for the crash my family was in said that the plane was hit by some turbulence and it just fell. It was a mystery how it happened but it did" 

"Oh, I see. Well that doesn't mean that will happen to you. Don't worry nothing will happen, you'll see it'll be all right" The plane then started to rock violently and a crack was heard followed by muffled shouting in the cockpit.

The intercom came on once again and this time the pilot didn't sound so calm. "Everyone please take emergency measures, an engine has just failed." Suddenly the plane tilted to one side and Kagome burst into more tears. Now she was sobbing and Inu-Yasha wasn't sure of himself at all. 'Shit' was all he was thinking. He looked to where his parents were sitting and then to his brother. He then turned to Kagome and brought her into a tight hug.

"It's gonna be ok, it's gonna be ok" he repeated over and over. Kagome's body was shaking and tears were rapidly falling.

'No, this can't be happening. It just can't be. No, it is. It's happening. At least, at least I'm with someone I love, love? Do I really? Yes, I do. If I get out of this I will be so grateful. But it doesn't seem like that's going to happen, oh Kami' She thought as she lifted her head to see everyone freaking out. Some people were even shouting that they were all going to die. Another crack was heard and Kagome's stomach flipped. The plane tilted forward their height decreased rapidly. It was then she felt her lips press against something warm. She opened her eyes and realized it was Inu-Yasha. Even he thought they were going to die. She broke it and buried her face in his shirt, they waited for the impact and soon the screaming stopped, the pain was immense but that too stopped. Darkness flooded their vision and then all was quiet.   

~~Two weeks later~~ 

As he stood in the graveyard he remembered everything this girl did for everyone she knew, especially him. He lay the single red rose by the grave headstone and read it one last time as the church bells rang out their solemn song. "Kagome Higurashi-Becker. Born: May 1st 1989. Death: August 15th 2004. Age: 15 'For everything that has happened let us remember and never forget.'" He then wheeled his wheelchair away tears springing to his eyes. 'Now I know how she felt' he thought as he left the graveyard.

A/N: yeah yeah yeah, I know why the hell did ya have to kill them? Right? Well for one reason, I needed to make it end with a bang, literally. If anyone is wondering that was Inu-Yasha that laid the rose (he survived). Wow just writing this made me depressed a little. Well please review; I don't care if it's a flame.

Shippogrl: yeah she's nice now.

EskoPa: I'm glad you really liked it and I'm sorry about doing this but I can still make a sequel. If it's wanted anymore however I don't think it is too much. ^^() heh heh heh.

Puppkid: I mean they are doing well but the first few games were a bit shaky. But they have gotten better since their first game of the season. Just make sure you don't get beat up at Shea.
