Inuyasha © Rumiko Takahashi

I was getting to go to sleep, but the thing that was on my mind the most was where's Inuyasha? He should be back by now, it's already late. Just then, I felt a bite on my neck. The first thing that came to mind was, Myouga.

"Mmm, delicious! Such sweet blood." I heard as Myouga lick his lips. "Kagome, do you know where Lord Inuyasha is?" What? Myouga doesn't even know where Inuyasha is...this is definitely weird.

"I thought you knew where he was..." Inuyasha, are you hurt? I went over to Miroku and Sango. "You guys, do you know where Inuyasha went? He should be back by now." My voice was filled with worried.

"Kagome, I can't find Kirara anywhere; do you think Kirara is with Inuyasha?" Please, Inuyasha. Come back where ever you are. I stood up, and began looking though my yellow backpack.

"Kagome, what are you looking for?" I heard as Miroku asked the question.

"What you think I'm looking for? I'm trying to find my flashlight, then I am going to search for Inuyasha." I respond without looking up. Just then, I heard a blood-curling scream...was that Inuyasha? "Please...please, don't let it be Inuyasha..." I whisper under my breath.

"The scream was heard that way!" Miroku said pointed north with his staff. Everybody got up and started running as fast as our legs can go to see what cause the blood-curling scream.

When I arrived, to my shock, it was Kaede's other hut...why did the scream come from here? Inuyasha, are you alright?

I walked inside and what I saw brought tears in my eyes. Inuyasha laying on Keade's futon, his hands entwined together, while Kirara was beside him. I walked slowly to the person I love.

I took his hand, I gasped. His hand was cold, death cold. I stared at Inuyasha's deathly pale face. Miroku and Sango just stood there, shocked...I could tell that they were speechless, as well as I.

Kirara nudged me. I looked at her and between her lips was a scroll; I took it, unroll the scroll and began reading Inuyasha's letter out loud.

Kagome-

During the past four days I wanted to tell you that I was dying. I tried to tell Miroku, Sango, and Shippou also, but neither of them seemed to really care about what I needed to say to say to each and one of them. The thing I really wanted to say was I love you from the depths within my lonely heart and soul. I wished that you are here with me to share the pain that I am feeling right now, as I sit here writing. I am so sorry about everything, making you mad at me, making you say all those "sits" to me, and the most thing that I am sorry for is was when I was the one that made you cry all those times. It broke my heart to see what I have done to you. Please forgive me.

With Love from the Bottom of My Heart,

Inuyasha

I broke down crying my eyes out. I went over to see my beloved laying peacefully as if he was sealed on the tree when I first saw him. I looked at the claws the shed the blood of every demon we had fought; now they will never shed any more blood. Those arms of his that I always wanted for him to hold me, and tell me that he loved me; they lay, without movement, near his side. For my wish will never come true. His neck that the rosary was placed by Kaede and was the way for me to control him, I want to take back every "sit" I ever said to him. Those lips that I always yearn to kiss, but now, since he is dead, he can never return any of my kisses. Those golden orbs that held so much emotion and every time I stare into them, I will always be put in a trance. I can never stare into those eyes that I love so much. And last, but not least. His two, triangular ears that is so soft and fuzzy. How I loved touching them.

"Inuyasha...I'm sorry, and I will always forgive you, no matter what you do to me, please just come back to me." Tears fell down my pale face; I just wanted Inuyasha to wipe them away.

"Lord Inuyasha...why didn't you tell me that you were dying, I could of done something..." Myouga said moving closer to Inuyasha and Kagome.

"Myouga, there wasn't even a possible way to save him; the poison was headed straight for his heart." I heard Kaede explained to Myouga, did he get the poison from that spider demon? That must be it.

"Inuyasha, was just trying to tell Sango that he was dying, not take her away from me..." Miroku said whispering. "Why the hell did I think that Inuyasha would betray me?! I am so god damn stupid!"

"So that was the thing he really needed to tell me...and I was just to tired to listen to him; I got mad at him just for waking me up...I hope he can forgive me." Sango said after she was done thinking.

"No wonder he was acting all weird; Kirara, you knew that Inuyasha was dying, didn't you?" Shippou asked, and Kirara nodded her head.

"May Inuyasha rest in peace..." I moved up to my beloved face, and gave him the kiss that I yearned for, but the thing that disappointed me the most, was that he never knew about our kiss, and that he couldn't returned it...

"Inuyasha, I told you that you will go to hell with me, if that were the last thing that I have to do...now you are mine." With that I disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

Today was the day of Inuyasha's funeral; I didn't want to see him taken away from me. I looked around my room and saw the scroll that holds Inuyasha's feelings towards me. I will always treasure it with my heart.

During the funeral, I was probably the one that cried the most, what could you say? I love him from the bottom of my heart, and I will never love anybody else as much as I love him. And I am waiting for the day to reunite with him once more, and be by his side forever, so he will never be alone ever again.
