Author's notes: Sad, deathfic... it was my way of trying to make myself feel better all those times Inuyasha went for Kikyou . yeah. (oh and this was written say, 3-4 years ago? um yeah)
-----------------
Inuyasha walked through a field of rainbow-colored flowers, his mind replaying the great times he had with his companions.
He thought of the lecherous Miroku and his lover, now his wife, Sango. Then of the old village spokes-woman, Kaede-baba, and her adopted grand-son, little fox-kid Shippou. Then.. he thought of Kagome.
The girl he loved before... Kagome. Her wonderful smell... gone forever.
He still remembered facing her family, trying to comfort her mother... trying to cheer up Sota... and receiving the beating from her grandfather. But it didn't matter to him what they did... he actually preferred having them kill him. But he is a youkai now. Full-blooded youkai. Human can't kill him... not really.
What hurt him the most; what broke his heart, was the last phrase Kagome said to him a year ago before she past away... He can still remember the words clearly for it was the last memory he had of her, and it was spoken in her bell-like voice:
"Take care of Kikyou... Love her the way you did fifty years ago..." it was the last thing she said to him... nothing less... and nothing more.
Inuyasha walked down to the foot of the hill of flowers toward a little wooden hut beside a stream. There was a woman by the stream, getting water for cooking dinner. She looked up at Inuyasha and smiled warmly. The bucket she held fell down onto the grass, its contents spilled carelessly onto the ground.
Inuyasha watched as the woman ran up the hill to greet him. He sighed. Such a beautiful face... a long time ago, he would refer to the face as the one of his lost love from fifty years ago, but now... ...it was Kagome's. Kagome's face. Kagome's smile.
The woman caught up with Inuyasha and threw her arms around him, laying a kiss on his lips along the way.
Kagome's lips... how he wished he had the chance to kiss it.
His arms went around the woman's waist and they proceeded to go down toward the hut.
"Forgive me Kagome... I can take care of Kikyou... but my heart already belongs to you..."
