Chapter 5:
Blood, Death, and Breath
Kagome got up and slowly backed away from Inuyasha. She had no clue what to do...should she run? No, she couldn't leave him.
"Do you think that I'm gonna let you go wench? Feh...not likely." Inuyasha ran towards Kagome, she tried her best to escape but she was too slow. Inuyasha's attack slashed her across her chest and stomach. She staggered and fell to the ground, clutching her wounds. "Get up, mortal." Kagome didn't move. "I said get up!!!" Inu grabbed her arm and yanked her to her feet. He held out one clawed finger and made various small cuts on her...one on her cheek, her arm, two on her neck...one on her shoulder...
Tears welled up in Kagome's eyes, from the pain yes, but also for Inuyasha. "I know this isn't you. Please come back to me...please. Let me see your face one last time, just once before I go. Inuyasha...I love...you...come back to...me...please..." Kagome could feel her knees buckle...she felt herself falling. Strong arms caught her and she looked into the amber eyes of her love.
-Inuyasha
"I love...you..." The rest didn't matter...with those three words Inuyasha came back to himself. He saw Kagome falling and quickly caught her. "Kagome? Kagome...please speak to me...Kagome?" Inuyasha could feel tears well up in his eyes...guilt in his chest. He new what he had done and he hated himself for it...no not hated...he loathed himself. He wanted to die on the spot...die rather than look at the pain in Kagome's eyes. He saw her eyes open slowly and...did she just smile at him??? After all the things he just did to her...she smiled at him?
"Hey..."
"Kagome...I'm so sorry. This is all my fault...everything is my fault..."
"No Inuyasha...this isn't your fault...it's Naraku's!!! That bastard!!!" Kagome winced in pain...her vision was starting to blur...she new she wouldn't last much longer. "Inuyasha...you have to know...I love you..." Inuyasha could feel tears fall from his eyes. "Don't be sad Inuyasha...I couldn't bare that..."
"Kagome please don't leave me...I love you...I love you too much to be without you...you can't leave not now...not ever..."
"I love you Inuyasha...never forget that..." The life left her...her shining eyes closed...she was gone...
Inuyasha couldn't hold it in anymore, he held Kagome's body close to him and cried...no he sobbed...for the first time since his mother died Inuyasha shed tears for another...
-Miroku, Sango, and Shippo
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"
"That sounds like Inuyasha..." Sango spun around.
"Your right...let's hurry..." They ran as quickly as they could towards the sound of Inuyasha's screams. They got as far as the edge of the clearing where another of Naraku's barriers awaited them.
"Damn it!!! We can get through!!!" Miroku looked around, he didn't see Naraku anywhere.
"No!!! Inuyasha stop!!! What are you doing???" Shippo cried in dismay.
All they could do was watch in horror as Inuyasha attacked Kagome. They saw as Inuyasha came to his senses and laid Kagome on the ground and talk to her. After a while he held her close to him and started sobbing. Miroku noticed that Naraku's barrier disappeared.
"Sango, you stay here with Shippo...I'm gonna..."
Sango nodded, "O.K."
Miroku ran as fast as he could toward Inuyasha and Kagome. But when he got there the scene before him was shocking; Kagome in Inuyasha arms covered in blood...Inuyasha also covered in blood and crying. "Inuyasha...what happened?"
"She's dead...I killed her Miroku..." Inuyasha looked up at his best friend the tears still treating to fall.
Miroku was really starting to freak out...Kagome dead??? No it couldn't be. Hr knelt down next to Inuyasha and looked at Kagome. He saw her chest slowly rise and fall. "No...Inuyasha...she's still breathing...we can still save her..."
Inuyasha wasted no time; he scooped Kagome up into his arms and ran as fast as he could towards the village.
When he arrived he barged into Keade's hut. 'Damn it to hell!!! Why isn't she here? I'll take her to the other side...her mom must know of some way that I can help her.' Inu jumped into the well.
-At Kagome's house
"How did this happen?" Mrs. Higurashi was beside herself.
"I'll explain later, right now we need to help heal her.
"Right..." Kagome's mom grabbed the phone and dialed three numbers. "Hello...911...yes my daughter is seriously injured...thank-you..." She hung up. "They're sending someone over to take her to the hospital...they will be here any minute. Would you like to come?"
"Yes thanks."
The ambulance came 5 minutes later and picked-up Kagome, Inuyasha, and Mrs. Higurashi and took them to the emergency room...
Author's Note: Please don't kill me!!! You must remember Naraku's ultimate goal is to make Inuyasha suffer...and what better way than to make him kill the person he loves??? Please don't kill me...and I won't make Kagome die...maybe I will...no...no I won't –cough- umm...yeah. But seriously I won't. So let me know what you think and please not too many flamers...you will see later that it was necessary.
Inuyasha: "Necessary??? You bitch how dare you do that to Kagome. I otta..."
Me: Uses my mystic powers to made Inuyasha...uuuhhhh...loose his voice. "Shut up that's the best I could think of."
Anyway please R&R and let me know what you think...and I'll up date a.s.a.p.
