Chapter 6

Is this the end?

Miroku almost forgot till Myouga jumped back on his shoulder and Myouga nodded to Miroku and said "Myouga is on the way!" he tried to sound like a super hero and started to drink the poison from Kagome. "Gah, to much poison Lord Inuyasha, I could not get it all" He was now the size of Shippo rolling around like a ball. Kagome started to open her eyes a little and looked around the room but saw Inuyasha's face about 2 feet away from hers but he was blurry but she could tell it was him because he knew how he felt like when she laid up against him. "Inu... yasha?" Inuyasha's ears perked up "The one and only" he tried to smile.

They were all happy that she was a little better and the fact that she had some color to her skin now. They all stayed where they were because Inuyasha was still a little bit edgy because they were around.

"Sango, I think we should go outside for a while" Miroku wanted to give Inuyasha time with Kagome seeing it might be their last. Myouga was resting in the hut near a corner and Kaede went to talk to Miroku and Sango. Shippo was sound asleep on his mothers lap still

"Lady Kaede, do you think Kagome will make it, today is her last day after all and shows not much progress?" Miroku looked up towards her wanting a response.
"I'm not sure; Kagome looked in a lot of pain even when I had put a blanket on her."

Sango started to cry a little "She can't die, we need her." starting to hold the little Kirara closely to her.

"Sango, don't worry, she can make it, she has a strong heart and can pull threw." 'I hope' Miroku didn't give any expression; he didn't even look at her, that made Sango even more worried

Meanwhile, Inuyasha wrapped his arm around Kagome to keep her a little warm and tried to make her more comfortable. He move Kagome a little so she could hear what he would have to say. "Kagome you have to stay here!" his voice was loud but soft "You can't leave us. We won't have to go shard hunting anymore, I promise." His bangs were hiding his eyes hold her waist tightly. One tear fell from his face (I know he doesn't cry, because yeah, one time won't hurt) "No Inuyasha... I like shard hunting... that way... you can have your dream... of becoming a full-demon, that way you won't have to think less about WHAT you are and start to think of then WHO you are." She had a low voice but smiled sweetly. "I don't care about being a damn full-demon! You showed me that I should be happy about who I am no matter what I am, you showed me friendship, kindness, when I'm around you I'm natural, but if I was a demon I might lose it all!" "But... but, it's... your dream... isn't it?"

"What good is a dream when it will become soon a nightmare and lose you?"

She smiled sweetly and turned her head away. "Inuyasha"

He looked towards her face "Yeah?"

"Do me a favor, and be with the others for a while, okay?"

"No, I'll stay here"

"Please, just this once" she closed her eyes as if she was going to sleep

He nodded because he didn't want to argue with her in her condition "Fine... I'll be back in a few" and leaned over to kiss her forehead and put her head on the ground where she was before he put her on his chest.

"Thank you Inuyasha" he nodded as he left the room

"Inuyasha, is she getting better?" Sango stood up and asked with Kirara in her arms trying not to cry.

he nodded to her but didn't make any eye contact, also that he was looking towards the ground. His head down so his bangs would hide his face again "She's going to make it damnit!" he sat down next to Kaede across Sango and Miroku still looking worried. "Yes, of course Inuyasha" Miroku agreed with him but had false in his voice.

"Hey, old hag, why did I smell the wimpy wolf's scent on Kagome?" He forgot to ask her earlier when he was running inside the hut yesterday night.

"He had came to see Kagome, but Kagome told him to leave so you would not harm him"

"Feh, she knows I'll kill him soon enough." he said with a smirk though no one could see it.

"Kouga seemed nice, shall ye kill a friend of Kagome"

"Grr, I don't care." He snarled at her and started to stand up

"Inuyasha, calm down" Miroku said it as if it was an order, Inuyasha didn't want to listen to him but he did. Miroku walked up to the hut and leaned against it because it was only like 20ft away or so.

"Inuyasha, did Naraku tell you why he wanted to kill Kagome?" asked Miroku

Inuyasha looked at him slightly confused "Not that I remember, why?"

Kaede realized something. "Ye don't think he bargained with my..." "I think so" Miroku interrupted her

"Who? What? Bargain with who? And why?" Sango asked Miroku

"Naraku may have made some type of bargain with Kikyou, Kikyou has only been the undead because she had a little of her soul that she claimed Kagome took from her. When Kagome dies and departs from the world, her entire soul will return to Kikyou, with that Kikyou will be once more the living." He didn't even want to say it.

"NO! Kikyou would never!" Inuyasha snapped

"INUYASHA FACE IT! Kikyou wants to probably live and eventually try once again to take you to hell with her. But then again, why care Inuyasha?" He said getting anger

"What do you mean 'why care'?" he said in a confused tone

"You always wanted to be with Kikyou you bastard! If Kagome dies, that means you get your wish! Kagome told me that one day this might happen, do you know what she said!!! She said if she died she would know her soul would go to Kikyou, then Inuyasha can be happy with the women that he so ever loved!" Sango yelled at him starting to cry in Kirara's fur, Miroku sat next to her trying to comfort her without acting like a pervert

"Either way Inuyasha, you'll be happy if Kagome does die because you will have your long lost Kikyou back now won't you!" Miroku said comforting Sango

"Why would Kagome say that? I would be happy that Kikyou's alive! But not if it costs Kagome's life!" He started to raise his voice after he asked Sango his question.

"Kagome said she wouldn't care if she died because she knew that if she did, she would die happily knowing that you would be happy because you would have a living Kikyou with you! Don't you understand! She wants you to be happy, even if it hurts her and costs her own life you bastard!" Sango kept yelling at him, crying even more now

Inuyasha ears dropped down as if he got very depressed 'Kagome would give her life away... just to make me happy? But... why?' He thought in his mind but he was shocked because Sango answered him as if she was just reading his mind

"She would do anything to make you happy because she loved you!"

'She... She loved me!? All this time... and I... I never knew!? I can tell her that I love her. But this is so much... She would do anything for me even if it costed her life, just to make me happy, just because she loved me... Sango is right... I am... a bastard'

He felt so guilty knowing all of this just now, just at the edge of Kagome's death...

He was trying to sink all this in that he didn't even the sun was almost gone!
