Chapter 11 : Real Love Is Forever

---------------------------

Inuyasha sat miserably against the wall of the darkness that surrounded him. His Kagome was gone, and now there was no reason to go on. "Kagome," he whimpered, "why did you break your promise? Why did you leave me?"

"Inuyasha...!"

Inuyasha's head jerked up and his ears pointed forwards, "KAGOME!" He looked around frantically for the raven-haired miko, only to see her glowing white shadow on the floor. "Oh, Kami, I'm going insane..."

"Insane?! Hey, can't you just be serious for once!" the girls voice resounded, echoing against the walls that surrounded him.

Inuyasha reached for the shadow, "You're haunting me, Kagome."

A ghostly outline of the miko girl appeared on her knees before him, smiling widely. "Inuyasha... won't you come find me?"

"Where are you?"

"Oh, but that ruins the game!" Kagome winked, then stood. "Come on and find me, Inuyasha!" She turned and ran off towards the white light that had appeared infront of him... some sort of large door.

Inuyasha stood and ran after her, "Don't leave me again, Kagome! Come back!"

Give me a reason to believe that you're gone

I see your shadow so I know... they're all wrong

Moonlight on the soft brown earth

It leads me to where you lay

They took you away from me

But now I'm taking you home...!

The ghost-Kagome continued to run, spinning around a few times and encouraging him to run after her. "Just a little further, Inuyasha! Come on, you can keep up with me, can't you?"

Inuyasha ran faster, reaching for his beloved. He stopped dead as the ghost girl disappeared right over a patch of recently moved earth. His eyes traced it all the way up to the top where a gravemarker clearly said "HIGURASHI KAGOME - MIKO, FRIEND, AND BELOVED". Inuyasha let out a choked sob as he fell to his hands and knees and gripped the soft soil within his fingers. "KAGOME!"

"Inuyasha...!"

Inuyasha's eyes flew open as he stared at the grave. "K-Kagome?" She was calling him...! She was still alive! He furiously began to dig up the grave, fresh soil flying every which way as his claws dug deeper, deeper, and deeper still! In moments he unearthed the pale body of the raven-haired girl and he clutched her to his body, trying to warm her frigid skin to life. "You left me again, Kagome, you called me and you left...! I can't bring you to life, but that doesn't mean that I'll leave you."

I will stay forever here with you

My Love

The softly spoken words you gave me

Even in death our love goes on

Inuyasha sat back, legs outstretched and Kagome's frozen body laying against his chest. His muscular arms were wrapped around her small frame as he rocked slowly back and forth. "You're dead, Kagome, and I'm left here all by myself. What were you trying to say when you died?"

There's so much I have to say, Inuyasha! I... I love...

Those same words echoed around his head mercilessly, constantly repeating themselves.

Inuyasha kissed the top of his deceased beloved's head. "I'll stay here with you, Kagome. Nothing could ever keep me from you...!"

"Inuyasha, you baka hanyou." Kagome's voice said as her spirit once more appeared infront of him, "Don't just sit there! I'm waiting for you! We still have a lot to do, koishii." Kagome winked, holding out her hand.

Inuyasha shook his head frantically, "No, no, I have to stay here... I can't leave her alone... I don't want to be alone, either."

"But Inuyasha, you have to leave. You have to help me...! What about Naraku? The Shikon no Kakera? Our friends?"

"I don't care!" Inuyasha shouted, clutching Kagome's body closer, "It doesn't matter if I don't have you here to fight with and to talk to! It would never be the same without you there... You know it wouldn't!" The hanyou's shoulders shook with sadness. "The rosary is shattered, too, so now I don't even have that to remember you by!"

Inuyasha gasped softly as he felt warm arms embrace him from behind. He turned his head to see Kagome's ghost holding him, nuzzling his cheek soothingly.

"You have to go, Inuyasha. I already told you... I'm waiting for you!"

Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh, my love

But no bonds can hold me from your side, Oh, my love

They don't know that you can't leave me

They don't hear you singing to me...!

Kagome stood, her warmth leaving the poor hanyou. She walked back infront of him and held out both her hands as she smiled warmly down at him. "Come find me?"

Inuyasha released his hold on her dead body and grasped both her hands. "Alright... I'll find you."

Kagome's ghost looked up at him as she slowly faded, "Inuyasha, there is something I really have to tell you."

Inuyasha looked down at her with a confused look.

"I... I love..." once more she disappeared before she could say anything.

"Not again!" Inuyasha cried, looking for his beloved, only to discover that he was consumed in darkness once more. "Dammit! Where did you go, Kagome?! I have to find her...!"

I will stay forever here with you

My Love

The softly spoken words you gave me

Even in death our love goes on

In the blink of an eye, Inuyasha was surrounded by the bodies of the dead holy angels that layed on the dry, cracked, and dead earth. "Where am I...?" he mused, "Is this the Graveyard of the Angels that Kagome talked about?" He looked around, then looked up.

There was Kagome... and she was falling fast. Her eyes were closed and her hands were clasped together, head tilted back ever so slightly. Her hair whipped behind her and her body was slightly limp, legs parted a bit, as she rocketed towards the ground.

"KAGOME!"

And I can't love you anymore than I do

I will die, but real love is forever.
