Chapter 2- Let Me Go

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was a dark, starry, warm and peaceful night. It was during the summer and the smell of blood was deteriorating. A calming breeze combed Kagome's hair, as she sat rocking her deceased friend. She had stopped crying about an hour ago, when she realized that her and InuYasha were under the God Tree. The same place where they were brought together was the same place they were separated. (AN: Kind of ironic dont ya think? srry..) 

The warmth of his body and the sound of his voice were long gone. Kagome knew that she had to bury him, give him that decency. The girl stroked his hair and talked to him quietly.

"You know InuYasha, I always thought that I would be the one to die in battle," she laughed, "When I first met you, I thought you were an arrogant, self-centered, mean and rude jurk. But as I got to know you, I realized something. I realized that... your not self-centered and that you only seemed that way because of your past. I wish you could of opened up to me sooner though. I mean jeez, you knew so much about me and I knew almost nothing about you for the longest time!" Kagome was quiet for a minute. "Know what else InuYasha? That was a very brave thing you did. Sacrificing your life like that. You knew that you'd be giving up your life by making the choice you did. By remaining as a hanyou when you could have easily transformed into a demon but you didn't. And all for us, so that you wouldn't take the chance of hurting us. You stayed as a hanyou, fought as a hanyou and died as an hanyou. But, I wish that we has become closer longer ago." Silence again; for a linger time though. "Remembering that battle still scares me InuYasha."

				*Flashback*
The smell of freshly spilled blood was thick in the air. The sun was rising and the battle was far from ending. Miroku was using his wind tunnel to suck up demons, Kagura and Kanna were murdered by Naraku who used them to make himself stronger. Even Shesshomaru was involved in the battle, avenging the merciless murder of Rin and Jaken. He had arrived too late to save them. Sango was put up against Kohaku, who was still under Naraku's mind control. Shippou was by Miroku's side trying to help. Inuyasha and Kagome were against Naraku with Shesshomaru on their side.

"Hiraikotsu! Kohaku! Watch out!" one of Naraku's spider legs pierced through Sango's back as she pushed Kohaku out of the way. Naraku then did the same to Kohaku. They were dead. Miroku then dropped to the ground. His body couldn't take anymore of the poisoned insects. There was nothing Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippou and Shesshomaru could do except fight on. A few moments later, another pain-filled scream pierced the air and a laugh emerged from Naraku. 
				*End Flashback*

"Oh Inuyasha! Shippou, he was only a kitsune and Kohaku, only 11. Why's it come to that? At least Sango and Kohaku are finally together and with their family. Miroku's probably still up to his lecherous ways with Sango. Who knows? Maybe the two are married by now?" Kagome continued to laugh at the thought of the two walking down the aisle together. For a second, Kagome thought that she had heard Inuyasha laugh too. "Glad you found that funny." She pulled away from the dead hanyou, laid him down and finished cleaning him up for his burial.

After cleaning his up, Kagome began to dig his resting place, just deep enough so that nothing would dig him up. She laid a blanket down on the bottom that Keade had made her. Slowly, carefully, Kagome set Inuyasha in the grave and covered him with a blanket from her own time, and her own bed. 

"Rest in Peace koi, Don't forget us." She kissed his forehead, looked at him one last time, memorizing his features. Her eyes rested on the rosary that she had controlled him with. Memories flooded her mind of all the times she had to "sit" Inuyasha. It had become a comfort for them both. It meant that they both were still there. By being able to say the magic word, Kagome knew that her hanyou was still with her and the same for Inuyasha. Her fingers toiled with the beads, then reached back behind his neck and pulled the rosary off. "I free you now… Inuyasha." She covered his head with the remainder of the blanket, climbed out and painfully filled the hole that she has dug with her bare hands.

"Because I won't forget you." Kagome whispered placing flowers over top the grave, next to the tombstone which read:


HERE LIES INUYASHA
Defeated the evil Naraku
Remained true to himself and faithful to his friends
The greatest hanyou Feudal Japan will ever know
A well deserved rest and place in our hearts
REST IN PEACE


A twig snapped behind Kagome and she spun around. Locking eyes with someone she least expected.
