Chapter 7
Goodbye Kagome
Shippo started to wake up from the position on Kagome's lap/stomach (he was now laying across her stomach but was a little bit on her lap). He got off of her and walked up to her face. "Hi Kagome... feel better?" he looked so cheerful because he knew that Myouga took out most of the poison inside her, he was then starting to get scared because she was starting breathe slower and slower. To Shippo, it looked like she was she breathing only 1 every two minutes. "Ka-Ka-Kagome??? Are you... okay?" he said with some fear in him. Kagome's eyes opened slowly and a little.
"Bye...Shippo...I'm...with...you...always..." Shippo started to cry "Kagome, you can't leave us!" "Don't...worry...tell Inuyasha...I'm...sorry. And I'll... see... you... soon" After that she stopped breathing and left with a smile. "No... Mommy" he shook her trying to wake her up, she had gave him no response. "KAGOME!!!" Shippo was crying, sobbing, and yelling loudly. "Shippo, what happened...!?" Just then Inuyasha looked at Kagome he was as shocked as ever. "No...No... NO!!! KAGOME!!!" he shouted as loud as he tried to get Kagome to wake. "No... she can't be" Sango cried into Miroku's robe, Miroku was crying a little but was trying to hold it in, he kept stroking Sango's back. It wasn't the time to stroke her butt. Myouga woke up from Inuyasha and Shippo's yelling and saw the dead girl and started to cry. "This is my fault that I couldn't drain all the poison" he said out loud to himself.
Shippo was still crying but went towards a crying Kirara. While Inuyasha was shaking Kagome, wanting her to wake up. "Come on Kagome, wake up, please, wake up! Tell me to sit! Open your eyes!" Shaking her harder and harder. Miroku placed out his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder with his other hand around Sango. "Inuyasha... stop, she's... not with us... look at the sun" they all turned around... "The sun... sunrise, it's... it's gone... no..." Inuyasha shed another tear "Kagome, how... how could you do this to us!?" He hugged the dead girl. Shippo tried to stop crying "Inuyasha..." "What!" he didn't even bother to look at Shippo "Kagome wanted me to tell you something to you" Inuyasha looked up to the crying Shippo "She wanted me to tell you..." he tried hard to say something but nothing wouldn't really come out. "She said that she was sorry..."
Inuyasha stared at Shippo and then to Kagome "Is that why she didn't want me in here with her?" Then he had just remembered.
Flashback
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?"
end flashback
"That's why; she didn't want me to see her die" He said lightly
"What do ye mean, Inuyasha" Kaede asked curiously
"Kagome had turned her head and looked towards the sun; I didn't bother taking my eyes off her, and she asked me to go outside for awhile because she knew she wasn't going to make it... I... I can't believe I listened to her!!! That's why she wanted to say sorry to me! Damn!" He was so upset then he stormed out of the door, kicking the dirt, punches rocks, trees, anything in his path.
"At least he's not complaining about 'not protecting' her or anything like that" Sango mumbled
Little did she know, Inuyasha heard her, loud and clearly... it made his heart ache alot
'I couldn't protect her... I couldn't protect her from are biggest enemy, the one time I can't protect her, I can't help her, and she gets killed from it... Why couldn't it be me? Why does he kill the ones that I truly love!'
Miroku wanted him to feel even more worse "Don't worry Sango, Kagome is most likely happy, soon she will give her heart and soul to Kikyou... all for Inuyasha, that why the smile is on her face... all for Inuyasha"
"Ye must relax Inuyasha! Kagome would not want ye to be mad about her death, that's why she had apologized. She wanted you to control your frustration most likely" She tried to say anything to calm him down but wouldn't work. He acted like he was crushed into hundreds, practically millions of pieces.
"Poor Inuyasha... Sango, will ye help me put Kagome in priest clothing and burn her and put her ashes into a grave?" She wasn't really happy to say any of it.
"Uh... yes Kaede, I'll help you, Miroku, go outside and maybe try to cheer up Inuyasha? I think that he really needs it." Sango looked sad yet tried to have a happy face on her.
"Sure, I'll see what I can do with Inuyasha, but I think I'll wait awhile for him to cool off some, he probably wants to be alone." He was watching Inuyasha for the hut door, it hurt him to see him in such pain.
Inuyasha couldn't take it it anymore, his knuckles were bloody from the rocks and trees he was hitting so much that he ran to Goshinboku to see if it would cheer him up. 'Kagome once told me that she always went to Goshinboku when she felt bad in her time'
He reached Goshinboku and immediately jumped into a branch and started to remember all those times he had with Kagome... the first time they met, their first fight, first battle, first laugh, he was remembering all those times that he had spent with Kagome. "I was able to give her something, the things she always gave me when she was so worried..." he took one long sigh "I shed tear for her from my heart... I'm sorry that it was all I could give you... my Kagome" He just kept looking at the dark sky and he saw Kagome's dace turning her face to him and smiled "...Kagome..."
"Miroku? Sango wanted his attention to ask him a question
"Hmm? What is it Sango?"
"Is it possible to bring her back?"
"I doubt it Sango" he sighed heavily "I really do doubt it."
