Sorry to say I don't own Inu Yasha, I wish I could, but I can't, so I might as well tell you now. I really hope you like this.

This is my first fanfiction so be nice to me when you review. I have also been known to confuse people when I write and so if you have any questions feel free to ask them and I will do my best to answer them.

Deadly Partings

Inu yasha kneeled there full concentration on protecting himself from loosing more blood.

The fang was stuck in the ground before him covering his face from view. Hearing only forest noises he stood and leaning on his staff heavily stared at what was his enemy for so long.

And in his arms lay kikyou his once lost love who died 53 years ago today. He had once loved her with his whole heart now he wasnt sure who he loved or hated.

All he knew was that she was dead and it was all the past to him now.

kagome lay still not fully conscious from the heartless blow from kikyou. Inu yasha must be so sad, kaome thought to herself as her turned head observed the gruesome scene before her.

Ripped vines and black hair lay everywhere and in the middle of it lay naruku and kikyou heart to heart blood mingling on the floor.

They were dead.

Everyone was dead.

She looked at the sky, it was dark and gloomy it fit the mood. She closed her eyes and cried.

inu yasha turned and took a step towards the crying miko.

All of a sudden his legs gave way and he fell to his knees by kagomes side.

Kagome raised a bruised hand and brushed his face wishing that there was something more to do to help the wounded half demon before her that she loved while he chased after a dead priestess.

He never really gave me a backwards glance, what am I thinking. But he is still a great friend and I will be here with him till the end as I told him I would.

With that she continued hopelessly trying to wake him from unconsciousness, stroking his hair and face thoughts locked deep inside her mind.

When inuyasha woke kagome was asleep head on his shoulder, face immune to worry or pain.

For a moment inuyasha laid there all remains of thought or memory gone as he observed her. Finally he put his hand onto her cheek waking her.

Her eyes opened slowly and took in where she was and exactly what she was doing.

She jumped up with a jerk, then curled up wimpering in pain as she shocked her bruised back and side. Inu yasha fully recovered thanks to the demon blood sat up leaning over the wimpering kagome.

Slowly, gently he picked her up and brought her into his lap, leaning her against his chest. He looked down at her face and what he saw was totally different than before.

Her eyes were squeased shut in pain, face full of worries and concerns. Her eyes opened and in them he saw hope, a care, and...

"Inuyasha"

her voice was gentle and soft.

"You're awake. You've been asleep for 3 days, how are you feeling?"

She looked at his as if expecting a answer. He looked at her flabergasted.

"Here you are trying to get some sleep and as soon as I wake you jump giving me a display of how badly you are hurt. And, then you have the nerve to ask me about how im feeling!"

Inuyasha's voice was slowly rising.

"Oh kagome!"

he said when she blushed and gave a rushed explanation on why her head was on his shoulder. "Give it up."

He finished and stood up as did she with some help.

"Where's mirouku and sango?"

he looked around. Kagome didnt respond. Finding that funny, inuyasha turned around nasty comment on his lips.

"Sango was severly wounded and may not live."

kagome said quietly.

"Mirouku just took her to kaede to see if she could help... I stayed here to help you, you almost died you lost so much blood. The wounds were strange you looked almost strangled. And than the poisoness gas that naruku gave off, you swollowed so much that you were yelling in your sleep. I was so scared that you died, I didnt know what I would do without you..."

kagome bowed her head, hair covering her face. Inu yasha reached out and tilted her head up. "I never want to be alone again kagome."

He told her and gathered her into a tight hug. Kagome wimpered again when pressure was put on her wounds. Inuyasha let go and looked at her concerned. Than understanding crossed over his face.

"oh here,"

inu yasha laid down on the mat again and patted his shoulder looking at her. At first she looked confused than understanding and finally she laughed.

"Even mirouku is better than that."

At that inu yasha's eyes went wide than he got mad.

"Fine its not my fault that you only have one mat!" He turned to the side. "Oh im sorry inu yasha."

Kagome knelt down beside him. "Feh." was his response and that got on kagome's nerve. "SIT!" she yelled and stomped out of the small hut.
