Summary: One Shot I let out a low growl, not wanting to hear the cold, hard facts of reality. Not wanting to hear why I had done it. She smiled up at me. "I'm just happy that I could make you happy, InuYasha."

Forgive Me

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha and tachi, so ha! You can't sue me...I think.

My claws rip mercilessly through her creamy skin as her chocolate brown eyes locked with my golden ones.

Crimson red liquid poured from the wound, dripping down my claws and seeping in between my fingers.

Forgive me...

"Inu...Yasha...." her saddened voice brings me back to reality.

What am I doing?

I watch, horrified, as she drops to her knees, clutching her bleeding chest in agonizing pain, "Why...?"

Why...

I don't know...don't remember....Kikyo....

She wanted to live again.

She needed her soul.

She needed you to die.

Forgive me...

I fall to my knees beside her, guilt overtaking me. I watch her reach out and snap the rosary around my neck. The beads drop to the ground with a soft thud and she falls forward into my chest.

"Don't die." I growl, fighting back tears of my own and trying to keep my own law in mind. Demons don't cry. "I'm sorry."

Forgive me...

Reality crashed down on me. I'm sorry. I killed her for Kikyo. I killed her so that Kikyo could live again. But Kikyo died fifty years ago and doesn't belong here anymore. Kikyo was the one that should have died, not her. She still had an entire life ahead of her.

She didn't deserve it.

Forgive me...

"It's okay InuYasha." she whispered. I pulled her away from me and stared into her now hazy brown eyes, "No it's not. We've got to get you back to Keades hut. We have to..."

She put a shaky finger over my lips to silence me and smiled, "It's alright...InuYasha...I understand. You need Kikyo to be happy. And Kikyo needs her soul."

I let out a low growl, not wanting to hear the cold hard facts of reality. Not wanting to hear why I had done it. She smiled up at me.

"I'm just happy that I could make you happy, InuYasha."

That was it...her last words before her body went limp in my arms.

Forgive me...

It was my fault, I killed her.

Forgive me...

She never got to say goodbye to her friends and family, and it was all my fault.

Forgive me...

She never experienced any of the things life had in store for her...because I killed her.

Forgive me...

I loved her, and I killed her.

Forgive me...

I whisper one last wish to her still form before I pick her up.

"Forgive me...Kagome..."

If that wasn't angst, then I have no clue how to write it. I had myself crying while writing this one and my friends are even mad at me for writing it. Oh well, they'll get over it. Please review, and I may consider adding another chapter...I sorta want to, but I don't know yet. So, please review and tell me if this was good or not and what you think I should do with it. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
