Chapter 17

Kagome looked out the window. They're still fighting,she thought. We still have enough time to get out of here.

"Kagome...what's going on?"asked Sota.

"There's no time to explain Sota. We need to go now." Or maybe we don't have to leave at all,she thought. "Sota,hand me my bow and arrows."

"Why?"

"Just do it."

"Ok Kagome."

Sota handed her the bow and arrows.

I've got to stop Kohaku,she thought. This is the only thing I can do to help. I just hope I can hit him.

She aimed the arrow at Kohaku's heart. Inuyasha looked back at Kagome,and couldn't believe what she was trying to do.

"Kagome! What the hell are you doing?! I told you to leave!"he yelled.

I'm sorry Inuyasha,but if you're going to die,then I'm going to die with you! She let go and the arrow hit Kohaku in the heart. His eyes shut,and then he was gone.

Oh my god,she thought. What have I done? What is Sango going to think? Oh boy...

"You...You killed him..."said Inuyasha.

I can't believe I did it either,I thought. Her body started to shake and she fell to the ground.

"Kagome!"Inuyasha jumped on the window and entered Kagome's room. "Kagome! Are you all right?"

But she didn't answer. She had already slipped in to a deep coma.

English:

The crimson sun illuminates everything,

Both now and long ago.

Is what my imagination paints at this sunset

More that what my hands can carry out?

Teach me how to live,

A little more vulnerably than I do now.

Taint me just a little.

That way, if I get hurt

And lose everything around me

This song of truth will flow through my heart.

This quarrel will probably go on

About which road that is most important.

I've become a rebel, I've overlooked things.

Such as the gentle smiles of someone.

If eternity knows what kind of darkness

And when pain will vanish,

Then if so, you will taint me

I always look toward yesterday, to the castles in the sky

When will I be able to follow them?

This song of truth will be my guide.

If eternity knows what kind of darkness

And when pain will disappear,

This song of truth will flow through my heart.

Now, taint me just a little more.

Please, just taint me, only a little

The song of truth shall be my guide
