To deathsite-zero: ...I've only written ONE angst story before. Give me a break. And besides; this isn't going to be as angst as I thought it would be. Bah, in the end they even get together. So leave me alone. >> It's not THAT bad as Grave Of The Fireflies.
To Jaden Blythe: Kagome is about.. hm, you could say she's somewhere from the 19-22 range, doesn't really matter. And why Sessy is in hell? Maybe you'll find out later. -wink-
To CopperWind: Read my author's notes in the last chapter, and you'll find out what I'm doing with fluffy points.
To sapphire pink: Fluff'ums is giving him a chance just to make things interesting and prove that Inuyasha couldn't last long in the 'human' world. And what happened to Kagome? You'll find out in this chappie!
To Manuca: Yes.. Emily has 'passed away'. It was okay you asked, I didn't get offended. And Kagome isn't bad; it's just her life that sucks. What Sessy's doing in hell? You'll find out sooner or later.. maybe.
To SftbalLazerGurl: One: Yes, I will tell you what he did to get into hell in this story. Two: He has no 'puppy' ears; they are just normal human ones. Three: Look at question two. Four: No, she's a 'normal' type. Five: I'm not sure, actually. I know Kikyou, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Naraku, and Kagome are. But.. everyone else, no idea as of yet. Sorry.
To LynneC114: You better believe Sess is playing a major 'mean' role in this story. It's all his fault its going to turn out angsty, lol.
To bored hungry: The cloaked figure is interpreted as, "the devil".
To akire: Sure I'll join! Just remind me how to do it again and I shall, lol.
To Month: Your review for some reason urged me to write this chapter quicker.. so, here it is thanks to you! Now.. since I can remember you reviewing a long long long ways back in my other stories.. I'll give you a little hint. Yes there is an afterlife. And yes that's why I think this story may not turn out as angsty as it could be.. -hint hint- -wink wink- And if you ever decide to write a story, please do tell me! I'll be happy to read it.
Phew that was a lot of author's notes for one chapter so far.. lol.
On
with the story now. (There is also going to be a little note from me
at the bottom of the story; please read it!)

"Don't fall in love. If you do.. or even think about it and I find out..
you're coming right back here and never getting another chance again.
Either that or I shall punish you accordingly, worse than what you have
to go through now. I hope we're clear on that. Do you agree, 'yasha?" Inuyasha
nodded, but then not being able to stand the pain anymore, blacked out.
The man just laughed and said, "I'll take that as a yes."
The darkly cloaked figure snapped his fingers and Inuyasha's body rose
into the air, recovering by the seconds. "May your trip be well." With
another snap, Inuyasha was gone.
Sesshoumaru walked out of the shadows and put his hand on the man's
shoulder. "Lets see how long he lasts."

Black Wings
Stage Two
Revival
Long lost words whisper slowly to me, still can't find what keeps
me here.
When all this time I've been so hollow inside, I know you're still
there.
Watching me, wanting me.
I can feel you pull down.
Fearing you, loving you, I know I'll found you somehow.
Calling me, hearing me.
I won't let you pull me down.
Saving me, raping me, watching me.

She stood in front of her window and ran her long fingers over the coarse
paint, and looked down beneath her. She was so happy that she had a month
off of work just because the manager that was training her to be a song
writer was going in for surgery. A whole month to do whatever she wanted!
No problems, no one nagging her, just herself. That made her happy.
Below her there was a nice oak deck, with a couple chairs and a little
flower garden surrounding it. She smiled down at the little red ladybugs
that were on her one yellow dandelion plant, when she noticed that they
were falling off the flowers like raindrops. She raised her eyebrow in
curiosity, put on a jacket, and walked outside.
She opened the door and walked to her little garden, when she noticed
the ladybug was gone on that plant. She looked below, but couldn't find
any trace of it. She looked over on her lilac bush, and that's where she
saw another ladybug. She ran over to it to check it out, when she saw that
it wasn't a ladybug.
It was blood.
She jerked her hands back from the plant and looked at her other ones,
and saw that the blood was dripping onto all of them too. She moved back
slowly and fell over on her back in shock. She had never seen this kind
of thing before, and she was never planning to. The hair on her neck was
raised in fright as she leaned up onto her bottom and noticed that all
the blood was gone.
Did she just imagine that? She couldn't have.. it was right there, but
now it was just gone. How was that possible? She was about to get
up when she felt something plop onto her head, and shakily moved her hands
up to touch whatever it was. She was relived to find it soft and smooth,
so she pulled it off and put it in front of her eyes.
It was a black feather. Now that surprised her, crows would never be
around in her area, nor had she ever seen one there. She stood up, looked
at her garden once more, and turned around to the path back to the door.
When she turned the corner around to her door from the back of her house,
her eyes became wide with fear.
The whole path to her door was covered in jet black feathers, just like
the one that fell on her head that now resided in her hand. She shook her
head in disbelief and backed away from the scene, her whole body shaking
with fear. What in the hell was going on? There was no way it could
be a bird. There had to be over five thousand feathers covering her sidewalk.
She could feel her body falling over in a fainting position from disbelief,
and did nothing to stop it. Her body was two inches away from falling on
the ground when something caught her. The last thing she saw was a pair
of huge black wings, then passed out.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly and adjusted herself to the darkness of
her room. She lifted her head up from her pillow and tried to remove her
sheets off of herself. She couldn't move. From her neck down she was paralyzed.
She opened her mouth to scream, but nothing came out. Her eyes began looking
around the room frantically as to find out who or what was doing this to
her. That's when her eyes set on a long tall figure in the corner of her
room.
She squinted but still couldn't see the figure. As if answering her
plea to know what it was, the figure began moving closer to her. Her senses
were tingling in fright, wondering if she was going to die. Was this the
devil? Was he here to kill her? She heard a flap behind the figure, when
she noticed long black wings. Each wing had to be about eighteen feet long,
maybe even more. They were hugging the figures body until it made its way
over to Kagome's bed.
The figure put their hand into their long coat and pulled out a black
feather. Even with the room being dark, Kagome could still make out the
shape and color. Her eyes became large, and her mind was telling her body
to 'get the fuck up and run', but to no avail, her body refused
to move. He dropped the feather on her forehead, and that's when she got
a good look at the figure.
She opened her mouth as to say 'No way..' and that's when the
figure smiled and spoke, "Do you happen to know who I am.. little Kagome?"
Her mind was racing. It was a man, from which she could tell by the voice.
'It's all a dream, Kagome. Wake up!' She kept telling herself.
As if reading her mind, he spoke, "This isn't a dream, Kagome.. and
you're going to help me from now on.. or else there will be dire consequences
later in store for you. Do you understand?" Her eyes became watery, she
didn't want to die. She didn't want to be killed. She had so much left
to accomplish.. so much she hadn't done. She had to agree.
Kagome shook her head yes, and that's when the male figure spoke again.
"Now that's a good girl.." He made his wings stretch out to his sides,
making another 'flap' noise. He brushed the feather he had in his hand
from her forehead down to her lips, when he lustfully kissed her, the feather
being the only barrier to keep their lips from touching. Kagome's face
became red, the only word going through her mind being, 'rape'.
She was going to die.
A tear made its way down her cheek as she whispered, "I'm sorry..",
then gasped. Her voice was back. The man lifted his lips off of the feather,
then sat up straight. He put the feather in his palm and blew it away,
which faded into green sparkles. He watched the sparkles disappear slowly,
then looked back over to Kagome.
She just stared at him, and the big black wings that protruded out of
his back, gracefully shifting to back down to his sides. With a fearful
agonizing voice, she said, "Who.. who are you..?"
He smirked, showing a fang out of the right side of his mouth. He put
his clawed hand on her chin and leaned his head to the side of hers, leaving
his mouth over the side of her left ear. He began whispering slowly, smoothly,
"Who am I? Are you sure you want to know?" His hot breath made her shiver,
and she gulped.
"I.. I want to know.." She stuttered. "Well then.." He licked the bottom
of her earlobe and began speaking again, "The story of my life is not for
the faint of heart.. but for now.. you can just know I'm not of this world."
He rubbed his hand down from her chin to her neck and spoke with lust,
"Human flesh.. it feels so different after not being able to touch it for
over fifty decades."
Now that made her curiosity kick in. She squinted to make out his face,
and she saw it looked quite young. There was no way he could be over fifty
years old.. more like nineteen, at most. He laughed as he figured out what
she was doing. "That's right miss, I'm over fifty years old. Sixty, even."
"Over.. sixty years old?" This had to be a dream. There was no way someone
could look like that, this world or not, and be over sixty years old.
"That's right.." He licked her neck and slid his hand down her shoulder
to her hips. "..I'm seventy one years old. I've been in hell for fifty."
If her eyes could get any wider than they already are, they would have
popped out of her head. In.. hell? Did he just say he was in hell?
(Catching
your attention: Read the author's notes at the end of this chapter.)

AN: End chappie. Keep reviewing please! Its you, the reviewers, who keep me writing! I want to make something clear though. Kagome is not a high school girl in this fanfiction. She is an 'adult' and she works for a living. She is a 'manager-in-training' for song writing. Thank you.
As for my little note.. to EVERYONE who wants to know about the ending.
Okay, well, as you know, I said it would be very angsty. But I hadn't planned out the whole story yet, so, I wasn't too sure. I just knew I was going to have this one certain thing happen.. then it all piled together.. and snowballed.. and now I -know- the ending.
Now.. listen. The story's 'beginning of the end' will be VERY angsty. But, I want you to remember what my pen-name is. Inuyasha Loves Kagome. See? Do you think I would let something totally terrible happen to both of them.. and not have them together in the end? Notice that in Grave Of The Fireflies they got together before.. but now that I'm saying after.. your common sense should prove to say, "Hey! It's not the ending yet! They still might be happy, and they still might get together!" And if you don't know that might means yes in my stories.. well.. think again.
For the slow ones.. the ending itself is not angsty. It's happy. It's a goddamn happy ending with terrible angsty parts. Sigh. I just don't have the heart to crush all my reviewers/readers hopes for the story.. and for the people who just went along with the sad ending.. thanks, and for the people who wanted the happy in the first place.. you're welcome.
