It had been two weeks since Kagome's funeral, but Inuyasha was still in mourning. He really had loved her and couldn't believe he had killed her. In his mind, Inuyasha killed his beloved Kagome by making a huge mistake. If only he hadn't gone out that night with his friends, she would still be here.

Since Inuyasha was a senior, he decided to take the last two weeks off for mourning. Now he had to go back to high school. Just like any other average jock teenager, he was captain of the football team and the team needed him. The other team members were really supportive of Inuyasha, of course none of them had lost their girlfriends to suicide.

Classes just bored him all week long. Wake up at four in the morning, go to morning practice, clean up, and get to class. Five days of the same thing as before, but with one difference…no Kagome. He couldn't get his hug and peck on the cheek in the morning when he picked her up. He couldn't hear her cheering him on at practice, but at the same time he still heard her. She was still there.

Friday morning, before third period, a young woman with raven colored hair caught Inuyasha's eye. Could that really be Kagome? Please gods let it be her, I need her so much.

Inuyasha followed the girl all the way to her class, where she turned around,

"Can I help you?" the raven beauty asked a little perturbed.

But when she turned around she wasn't her, she wasn't his Kagome.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

The raven colored hair girl walked into her class. As he walked away Inuyasha could hear the things the girl and her friends were saying.

"That's him, Inuyasha."

"But he's the captain of the football team, she was just some girl who killed herself."

"I know, Kagome was always a freak. At least now Inuyasha is single now."

The girls' words stuck in his head the rest of the day, but it was Friday night now. He was going to party with his friends and drink Kagome away. Inuyasha got to the party around the time everyone cracked the bottles, so he helped himself to the assortment of liquor.

After about five beers and a couple of shots of tequila, Inuyasha was definitely feeling the alcohol. He stumbled out back where he found some of Kagome's friends, well before she died. One girl, who he recognized from Kagome's Study Hall, waved him over to the small group. Smoke was swirled around their heads. Inuyasha stumbled over to the girl who had waved him over. She had a strangle glass tube in her hand. She offered it to him.

"Here, Inuyasha, this will make you feel better."

Inuyasha took the pipe and looked at it for a moment. The girl told him to put the open end to his lips and she would light it for him. He put the pipe to his lips, then the girl pulled out a lighter and when the white substance and the bottom started to smoke she told him to just inhale it. When Inuyasha blew out the white cloud his head went foggy for a moment, he felt dizzy for a moment. Then the floor met his head with a loud thud. When Inuyasha woke up he was still on the porch with the small group of Kagome's friends.

"What was that stuff, it made my face go completely numb."

"That Inuyasha, was kris."

"I remember Kagome talking about a kris, but I thought kris was a person."

"No kris is a drug, its called meth or dope by most people."

Inuyasha was worried about what he had done but he felt good. All the pain of losing Kagome went away. He wanted more. So he had more and more, as much as the group would let him. Which was a considerable amount, but Inuyasha didn't care the pain was gone.

Just like Kagome had done, one night one kill you, just a little more and I'll be fine. Inuyasha loved the rush he got from kris. Every afternoon he would call up Sango, the girl from the group, and get twacked out. And he enjoyed every moment of it, it was a thrill.

After a few weeks his coach noticed that Inuyasha didn't care as much about the game and was missing practices. When the team had to do a monthly weight check, Inuyasha came up twenty-seven pounds lighter than last month. His coach questioned him but he convinced the coach he was missing meals because he was making up schoolwork. The coach believed him; he did miss those two weeks after all. After lying to his coach about his weight, Inuyasha found it easier and easier to lye to anyone. His brother, Sessesshomaru, started to notice his brother's change in personality and appearance. Inuyasha used to dress like a prep, he'd wear his kaki pants, a shirt just tight enough to frame his jock muscles and sneakers. But now he was wearing baggy pants sagging, way too far as Sessesshomaru was concerned, with a black hoodie, and skater shoes. Being a businessman, wearing suits, Sessesshomaru was appalled by his brother's new appearance.

One afternoon he confronted Inuyasha.

"Why the hell do you insist on look like a bum, with those criminal teenagers?"

"Sessesshomaru, its none of your damn business how I dress or who are my friends."

"As your older brother its my responsibility to tell you that you look like a complete fool and are acting like one."

"Well Sessesshomaru, screw you."

Inuyasha stormed out of the house and down the street. What right does he have to talk to me like that? I'm just having a little fun, damn, everyone deserves to be happy.

Inuyasha walked to his favorite friends house, Sango. She and a couple others were sitting in her garage hitting a pipe. There were snorting sounds in the background, Inuyasha didn't know what they were about. He just walked up and sat down next to Sango. After hitting the pipe, she handed him the pipe. After the cloud escaped Inuyasha's lungs, he asked what was the snorting sounds were from.

"Oh that's nothing, just some of us snorting up some coke."

"What do you mean snorting coke, don't the bubbles burn?"

Sango started laughing, as did the rest of the group.

"No Inuyasha, here see this line of white powder? Take the straw and sniff it up like this."

After she demonstrated the right technique to snort coke, Inuyasha tried it. His nose went numb. He sniffed another line, His whole face went numb. He sniffed several dozen more lines. His whole body went numb, then his world went black.

When Inuyasha opened his eyes, he was in a white room. There was someone else in the room with him, his beloved. Inuyasha ran up to her and gave her a big bear hug and a loving kiss.

"Kagome, you don't know how much I've missed you."

"But Inuyasha, you shouldn't have take the path I took, just to come see me. Now your stuck here."

"But I'm with you Kagome, so nothing matters. I love you, and now I can be with you, in death."
