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 3 - Kagome.

How can I do this without anyone stopping me? Kagome thought as she searched for a possible weapon to inflict damage upon herself. Her pain has caused her to decide this. Was this to be her fate? A tear slid down her cheek. I loved him. I love him.

I lay dying. And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal.

The tears continued to come. One after the other. Each from pain and love. She entered the kitchen, looking in drawers for a butcher knife. She had decided to slit her wrists. She would go into the bathroom, sit in the bathtub and die... tonight. Her mind was made up and she would not turn back from this decision.

I'm dying, praying, bleeding and screaming. Am I too lost to be saved?

About five minutes later, Kagome found a knife. It was sharp enough as she has lightly ran her finger along it's blade, causing a small amount of blood to flow from the wound. She carried it into her bedroom where she would write a letter to her friends and family. She placed the knife on the table as she found some paper and a pen.

Am I too lost?

Dear Mom, Sota, Grandpa and friends...

I realize that you have found this letter only because you have found me. I am so very sorry but I have been through too much pain in order to find a reason to live anymore. I hope you all understand.

I love you,

Kagome

She finished in about ten minutes, by the time she had carefully thought of each and every word. Her family wasn't expected home for another hour or so. Yet she must hurry. After picking up the letter and knife, she left her room to place the note in the bathroom.

My god, my tourniquet return to me salvation my god, my tourniquet return to me salvation.

That was Chapter Three. Remember that the story alternates between the two of them.

Next Chapter: Chapter Four - Inuyasha.

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