SUMMARY: Kagome's a suicidal goth living in a world of hatred and darkness. Everyone at school despises her, including the boy she loves, Inuyasha. Now the day has come when she's ready to swallow the pills and end everything.
A/N: Wow, thanks for the reviews, everybody!! Sorry I didn't post this right away. This is Ending Two, the happier alternate ending. Enjoy!!
RECAP: "KAGOME!!! KAGOME, PLEASE ANSWER ME!!!! PLEASE!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T GO!!! PLEASE, KAGOME!!! I LOVE YOOOOOOOOOU!!!!!"
Ambulances came later and brought Kagome to the hospital. Inuyasha came. He cried more than he had ever cried in his life.
Kagome did not take one breath the whole way to the hospital.
ENDING TWO
It was quiet. The silence seemed to echo off the walls of the empty room.
Kagome was alone. Or so she thought. It was too dark to see.
The moonlight from the window spilled across her bed, making the white sheets glow. Kagome couldn't understand where she was. She couldn't remember anything at this moment.
And then it all came flooding back to her.
The eight pills. Inuyasha's phone call.
She realized then that she was in the hospital.
And she was alive.
Does……Inuyasha really love me? Or was he just saying that to try and stop me from killing myself?…
No, Inuyasha had meant what he said. He had been crying. He had to have meant it.
Kagome's head throbbed. She slowly let the tears trickle down her cheeks.
Why didn't he tell me earlier?
Inuyasha slowly opened his eyes. He had fallen asleep in the chair in the corner of Kagome's hospital room.
He smelled tears.
He slowly turned and looked at Kagome's bed. Her head was turned towards the window. She was crying.
He stood up and walked toward her. His heart was pounding.
She said right before she passed out……that she loved me. Did she mean it or was her brain messed up from those stupid pills?
"K-….Kagome?" Inuyasha whispered, kneeling next to her bed.
Kagome gasped, her eyes still shining with tears. She slowly turned her head….and gazed into the amber eyes that used to glare at her from across the classroom and fill with joy every time she tripped and fell.
"What…..why are you here?" she whispered, her eyes darkening.
"Kagome….I know….that you may never forgive me. But I wanted to tell you that I was sorry anyway….and….I don't know if you heard me on the phone, but I……I said that…..I love you," he finished in a hoarse voice.
Kagome was quiet.
"Inuyasha…." she said quietly. It felt so good to say his name.
"I forgive you. And….I love you, too," she whispered.
He stared at her for a minute, studying her expression, just to see if she was serious.
Then he threw his arms around her and kissed her.
Her lips were warm in the cold, chilly room. He loved the way her lips felt against his. Like a perfect fit.
Kagome's eyes widened in shock.
Can this really be happening? Am I hallucinating from medicine?? Am I dreaming?
He pulled away from her and looked at her for a minute. Her beautiful chocolate eyes were wide open.
"Did I…..did I scare you?" Inuyasha asked, smiling faintly.
Kagome smiled.
"A little," she said softly. Her eyes filled with tears of happiness.
"Kagome….I'm so glad you're alive…" Inuyasha whispered. He looked like he was about to cry.
She gently scratched behind his dog ears. "It's okay now," she whispered.
They kissed again. But this time, Kagome was ready.
A/N: Okay, this ending was much happier. Hope you all liked it!
