Kagome pushed her way through the hordes of youkai. She needed some fresh air and the only way to get some would be to go out on the balcony.
'I wish you were here to hold me right now Misawn, I know that Inuyasha would never leave my side. He would have been right here if this were his ceremony.'
Kagome let the tears fall freely this time without holding them back. Although Misawn had helped her not to think about Inuyasha, he would never make her forget him.
"I miss you, Inuyasha."
"I missed you too."
Inuyasha crept carefully up to the castle. At first he thought to take the youkai by surprise and just snatch Kagome away, but then he wanted her to come willingly with him. Leaving the others behind gave him the chance he needed to sneak around the castle and try to spot Kagome. When his eyes caught her dancing with Sesshoumaru, his breath was taken away.
'She looks even more beautiful then I remembered.'
He watched as she became angry with his brother and pushed him away. He smirked at this.
'Shoulda known that that baka wouldn't know how to handle women.'
He followed Kagome until she was alone on the balcony. Upon smelling the salt from her tears, he jumped down and landed behind her. She didn't notice his presence. Then he heard her say four words that he never thought he would hear her say again. His mouth spoke before his brain could stop him.
"I missed you too."
She turned, startled, "In-Inuyasha?"
"Yea, Kagome, it's me."
She rushed to him, arms wide. He caught her and began to spin her around making her laugh. Her laughter was music to his ears; he thought that he would never hear her laugh again, much less be the cause of it.
"Oh, Inuyasha what are you doing here!"
"I came for you, but first I have something to tell you."
His eyes became serious, and he took both of her small hands into his own and held them firmly.
"I killed Kikyo."
She blinked, once, twice, then once more. "You mean, that you…no this can't be right. Are you sure you're not Naraku?"
"Kagome I'm serious. I went to talk to her a little while after you left, and when I looked at her I finally realized that my love for her was merely a love of devotion. I felt that it was my fault that she died, so when she was brought back I took an oath to never let the same thing happen again. I convinced myself that it was love. But it wasn't, because the day you released me from the tree that she pinned me to, I loved you. So I'm telling you now, Higirashi Kagome, I love you."
By now Kagome was in tears. Here Inuyasha had just confessed to her that he loved her, it was like a dream come true.
"I love you too, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha heart swelled. He was afraid that she would reject him for a moment. As he looked down at her, he noticed how her eyes sparkled in the moonlight. He bent his head to capture her lips, but the kiss was not to be.
"No! Kagome is mine! Get away from her you filthy half breed!"
Misawn charged and ripped Kagome from Inuyasha's arms. His eyes began to turn red with rage.
'He almost kissed her, kissed my Kagome.'
Kagome was taken by surprise. When she looked up she saw the red in Misawn's eyes. She felt his claws pressing against her kimono, as they grew long. A sharp pain began to eat at her side where his claws had broken the skin.
"Misawn, you are hurting me. Misawn?"
"Son! Let her go!" Lord Misaki could smell Kagome's blood.
"NO! I've worked to hard to have what I've earned snatched away from me!"
Kagome began to moan as the pain increased.
"Please, Misawn, it hurts! Please!"
Inuyasha's nose caught the scent of Kagome's blood.
"Grrrr! Let her go, you bastard! You're hurting her!"
"I'd rather see her hurt then in the arms of a half-breed!"
Sesshoumaru watched closely as the battle of words waged on.
'What will you do now, little brother? You cannot use Tetsusaiga for you would surely hurt the miko. Her body cannot withstand the loss of too much blood. Time is running out.'
Inuyasha heard his brother's thoughts. 'He must be using his telepathy! He's right! I can't use my sword without hurting Kagome! Unless…'
An idea came to mind and he drew Tetsusaiga.
Sesshoumaru was shocked. 'Would you rather see the miko dead then in the arms of another?'
Then he remembered Kagome's words, Love makes you do crazy things I guess.
Kagome was beginning to lose consciousness. She looked up and saw Misawn's mother Suki crying into the shoulder of her husband. They were shedding tears for her. They knew that their son would have to die.
Kagome's miko powers began to kick in, she felt the presence of evil all around her. Then she heard an evil laughter inside her head.
'How do you like it Kagome? The way I manipulated his pathetic mind, and took control? Oh it was so easy. And look, even your hanyou pet can't save you now. He will kill you in order to keep you from the youkai that actually loves you. It's going to be a lovely repeat of Kikyo and Inuyasha. Oh well, love is truly foolish.'
Kagome looked at Inuyasha and smiled warmly, she knew that it had to be done.
Inuyasha searched for the wind scar, he found it. Slowly he raised Tetsusaiga above his head.
"I love you, Kagome."
He slashed Tetsusaiga through the air, sending three deadly slashes straight for them. Just before the hit, Kagome's eyes flashed pink.
'I wish you were here to hold me right now Misawn, I know that Inuyasha would never leave my side. He would have been right here if this were his ceremony.'
Kagome let the tears fall freely this time without holding them back. Although Misawn had helped her not to think about Inuyasha, he would never make her forget him.
