This is the revised version of I Lay Dying.
The lyrics are to Evanescene's, Tourniquet.
The title of this story came from a line from the song.
All sentences in BOLD are lyrics to the song.

Summary: Kagome flees home, heartbroken after witnessing Kikyo and Inuyasha together in the forest. She feels as if there is no hope for them to ever be together. This is a short story of heartache and misunderstandings.


I Lay Dying
Chapter 2 - Inuyasha.


He saw the way she had looked after Kikyo had left, only a few hours before. Her eyes held surprise, pain, deception, betrayal and even love. But she had returned to the present to dwell on her feelings. He had told her, without words, that he had chosen Kikyo instead of her. Inuyasha knew that this would hurt Kagome greatly, yet he had to choose one of them. Kikyo gave up her life because of her love for Inuyasha, Kagome hadn't even told him her feelings. But he knew she did, regardless. As he walked from the tree, to the well, he couldn't stop thinking about Kagome.

Kagome

He knew that he had to say sorry. Yet he couldn't bear to see her again. Her brown eyes looking so sadly at him. Trying to figure out why he had been with Kikyo, and why he had "let her on." But he hadn't. He loved Kagome too. It wasn't because he felt the connection between carnation and incarnation. He felt differently for each other them. When he reached the well, he kneeled down on the grass beside it, looking into the darkness. Kagome's sad face flashed through his mind again. He clenched his fist and screamed her name. The scream turned into a long, painful howl as he faced the heavens.


Chapter Two! YAY! Remember, the chapters alternate between Inuyasha and Kagome.

Next Chapter:
Chapter Three - Kagome.

I Lay Dying was written by me, Sarah Jane ( x-SarahxJane-x )
Inuyasha does not belong to me.
And neither does the song.
