Inuyasha © Rumiko Takahashi

Today was the fourth day...today, I must confess to Kagome. But what if she rejects me? Then, I'll die lonely...I looked over at Kaede's hut and saw Kagome walking outside with her huge, yellow backpack. Was she leaving again?

"Kagome, wait up. Where are you going? Don't tell me that you are leaving again, did I do something to make you go away?" Please say I didn't, I won't be able to rest in peace if I did.

"Inuyasha, don't worry. I'll be back tomorrow; I have to take my test. It is a very important one, I can't miss this one, or I won't be able to go to tenth grade." What the hell was tenth grade? Who cares...she's not coming back until tomorrow. I won't make it till tomorrow.

"You can't go! Can't you just take the test a different day? Please, Kagome?" Who cares if I have to beg her to stay, anything to make her stay with me on my last day...anything.

"Inuyasha! I told you, I can't miss it, and I have already missed a lot of my test. Just let me go take this one, Inuyasha. Please, just this one." Even by her pleading and begging, she can't go.

"You can't-" I was cut off by Kagome intense glare. Damn it, I'm going to get sat, aren't I? Can my day not get any worse? Just then, Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Kaede walked out to see what the fuss was about.

"Give me a good reason why can't I just take my test and come back tomorrow?!" I heard as Kagome screamed in my face. "Is it about the jewel of four souls? If it is that fuck that!"

"Inuyasha, just let Kagome go take that test of hers. There is no reason for her not to stay and not take her test, or is there?" Miroku looked at me in question; with that glare he gave me two days ago.

"Inuyasha, stop being a meanie and let Kagome go back to her era, she might bring me back some candy! Isn't that right, Kagome?" Shippou turned away from me and sent a face to Kagome, that she couldn't resist.

"Of course, Shippou. I'll bring back a lot of candy for you, but you must promise me that you won't eat all of it today. Remember that other time you ate all the candy? You had a very bad stomachache, didn't you?" Shippou nodded and promise Kagome that he won't eat the whole entire jar of candy.

"Kagome, while you are in your era can you please bring back some of your shampoo and conditioner?" Sango asked as I stood there, silent. Not wanting to interrupt their girl talk.

"Did I say that Kagome was allowed to go back to her era?" I yelled in frustration. Why did everybody turn against me? Just then I felt another jolt from my shoulder. I winced by the pain, and quickly grasped my shoulder, hoping nobody would notice.

Kaede walked up to me. "Kagome, can ye not take the test another time?" I saw everybody turned their glaze at Kaede wondering why, of all people, she was on my side.

"Kaede, why do you ask?" Kagome said as everybody looked at Kaede weirdly. I turned away and started walked towards the other direction.

"Well, I wanted to teach ye how to make a certain kind of herb, incase of emergencies. And I can sense that your powers are growing stronger and stronger each day."

"Just forget about it, Kaede. Go, Kagome, go back to your own era, and take that test of yours." And don't come back, because when you see me dead, I know you will be heartbroken, and I can't allow that. I headed deep into the forest going to the sacred tree.

"Kagome, can ye come back later tonight, instead of tomorrow? Then, I could teach you the basic of the medicine?" That was the last thing I heard after I left.

During the rest of the day, everybody was quiet. Too quiet to be exact, did Kaede tell them? No, she gave me her word that she wouldn't tell anybody. I took out the scroll and began writing once more.

The sun was setting; soon it would be dinner time. I didn't feel like eating at all. All I wish was that Kagome would come back, but I knew that was probably not going to happen at all.

After awhile, I heard footsteps coming my way. Was that Kagome? No, this scent was too different. There were two different scents, who were they? Miroku and Sango. I heard them said something about...me? I knew that eavesdropping was wrong, but they were talking behind my back.

"Miroku, Inuyasha have been acting really weird, do you know if something happen to him?" Keh, they wouldn't know the full story of it, only Kaede know.

"Not that I know off. It is very weird when he let Kagome leave like that, without saying sit to him. And he missed dinner tonight; it is very weird of him. Do you think he's turning human tonight?"

"No, Miroku, the moon is out, there is no way he is turning human tonight." Wow, you're a smart one Sango...everybody can tell that the moon was out. It's a fucking full moon!

"Maybe when Kagome comes back, she can figure out what is bugging him." Kagome's coming back? A burst of joy spread throughout my body.

"We should be heading back, it's getting really late, and the others would begin wondering where we are." I looked back down as my letter and began writing once more, hoping to finish the letter before I die.

My head shot up from my letter as I smelt Kagome's scent. She was back from her era. So what Miroku and Sango said was true. Another jolt of pain was sending throughout my body. Was it already time for me to go to Kaede's other hut? I look down at my letter, it was complete.

I stood up, and started heading to Kaede's other hut. I felt another glaze coming from behind me, was it a demon? No, the scent was too familiar. Kiara. I turned around and there was Kirara in her full demon form.

"I see, you know about me dying." Kiara nodded. I walked up to her and pet the top of her head. "You don't need to worry about me; and you don't need to tell the others. They would soon find out."

Kiara's nose nuzzled against my arm. "Can you take me to Kaede's other hut?" Kiara nodded. I sat on her back as she took me away to my death bed.

When we arrive, Kaede was already there. "I see ye have arrived. Hello, Kiara." Kaede said as she motioned me to go lay on my death bed. I lay down and rested my eyes. Kiara stayed next to my bed. I took out my letter and gave it to Kiara.

"Please, Kiara. Give this to Kagome..." My breaths were short; I knew that I was dying. Kiara stayed by my side, I guess she was going to stay until I die, how nice of her.

At the strike of twelve, all the pain that was suppressed by the spell released. All the pain was too much for me. I let out a blood-curling scream that probably would have reach to Kagome. "AHH!!!" At that moment, I knew I have died...
