~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was over. It was all over. Kagome slowly walked to the well, swung her legs on the other side and jumped down. After being engulfed by a blue light, she landed on the ground and burst into tears once more. Her hands grabbed the dirt below her cursing it. Cursing everything. Why him? Why did he have to go? With her dirty hands, she wiped her tears away and began to climb the old rope latter.

She knew quite well that she had just left, not even said goodbye. They were still fighting Naraku. She had left them all behind, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, even Inu-Yasha, though she doubted that he had given it a second thought. That was something she didn't have to worry about, Inu-Yasha bringing her back. The past few months he had been with the group rarely. He had been gone five weeks before the battle and had just shone up as it started. She had known where he had been of course, was it quite obvious. He had spent his time with Kikyou, gathering souls and doing Kami knows what. At first it had hurt her, but then she had gotten to know Sesshomaru. It seemed like they had known each other for a moment and yet as though years had passed. She now knew it had been merely an infatuation with Inu-Yasha, because she had found what really love was like.

She reached the ladder and made her way across her yard to her house. Slowly ascending the stairs, she reached her room. Once I there, she lay on her bed. Too tired of crying, she curled herself up into a fetal position.

"Why" she whispered. "Why"

Day passed. Kagome refused to leave her room unless necessary. She barely talked or ate. All she would do was stare outside the window at the rain. Ever since Kagome had returned, a storm had sprung up. I would not end. Kagome liked the coldness the rain brought; it dulled her pain.

One particularly cold day, she couldn't take it anymore. She hated him, she hated the world, and she hated herself. Everybody would be better off without her. Anyways, what good was living and feeling this unceasing pain that made her sick to even think about.

She slowly rose form her position. Opening her door, she walked down stairs. No one was home. It would make it easier. Slowly she headed out into the rain. There was no turning back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Not over yet ^^) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not many people were out. The streetlights were already lit. Like tiny needles, the raindrops pierced Kagome's body. Minutes felt like hours, but ever so slowly, she made her way to the park. It wasn't the park she was interested in, though. It was the lake at the park.

As the distance shortened, she reached it and stood on the dock. Still as a stone, she looked down at the water. Its waves beat against each other. She clenched fists. What had she done to deserve this? Unbeknownst to her, tears were falling down her cheeks intertwining with the rain. Was all she to know, love quickly followed by fierce sorrow? What was the point?

Closing her eyes, she leaned forward to the icy water below and plunged in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not to far away in a tree Hiei sat. He wasn't quite sure the particular reason for his presents there, though. He closed his eyes for a moment; when suddenly, images of water filled his mind. Something was wrong. He opened his eyes and looked back and forth. There was something pulling him to the lake, like a distant voice. Then, like lightning, he shot out through the trees.

He could feel it in his bones, but he didn't know why he was doing this. In an instant he was at the lake. The scent of a human lingered in the air. It was a soft sweet scent, but he blew it off. He could see a girl was drowning in the icy waters.

"Pitiful human." He said impassively. Yet, he couldn't turn away. 'Why am I doing this?' He ripped off his shirt and dove into the freezing depths below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kagome had blacked out. Everything happened so quickly. Everything became lighter, though. She was in a fog and a figure's outline appeared before her.

"Kagome" It was a male's voice. "You have to hang on."

She recognized it. It was Sesshomaru's. Swiftly, she ran closer hoping to land in his arms, but the fog was all that remained.

"I must leave soon, but remember you and I will meet again soon enough. Do not hurry anything, for where you seek, I am not."

"Baka" she cried. "Stop giving me these half-assed answers! (And you sound all weird talking like that) I want to be with you again! Don't you realize that? Just let me be with you"

She couldn't see him, but she knew he was smirking.

"WenchI am doing just that by keeping you alive."

Surprise came over her face. "Iam still alive?"

"Yes, but soon it will be all up to you. I believe in you, heh and I always will so just do it."

Tears came more and more. "Damn it! Don't torture me like this! Please" The last part more of a whisper.

"Baka"

Suddenly, she felt arms around her. She could feel herself rising higher and higher. They hit the water level and emerged into the cold air. Hiei jumped under a tree and lay her down on the grass. He raised his hand wiping his forhead.

"Worthless wench" He said coldly.

She coughed a bit and blinked open. As she squinted to see, it was a blur of gray and black, but soon her rescuer became clear. He was staring down at her with slight curiosity.

"Baka" she whispered before once again loosing consciousness.

'Somehow I think I got more than I bargained for, but you never know. This might be amusing. '
