Sango stepped heavily on the gas petal, feeling the car vibrate heavily, turning the car right while the nurses and doctors ran after the small reddish beaten down car, as it flew faster into the street. Kagome had tears swelling down her cheeks, feeling her throat burning and her eyes burn so badly from all the tears that effortless flew down her cheek. Her eyes kept watch as the doctors and nurses were screaming at her, tapping and banging on the window demanding her to come back that made her feel much more upset than she was.

Sango flew faster down the street, passing by all the cars rushing glancing at the rear view mirror to see Kagome lifelessly hanging on to the edge of the window, with the small plushy she received from him that seemed like it was held in a death grip.

" I'm not waiting for that light to go green. Forget it!"

Sango told herself, knowing all the cars were at a stop while she just placed her foot on the gas petal seeing the state Kagome was in that made her blood flow with anger. She understood why she was so mad, and didn't care about the rules of the street, getting to Inuyasha was more important than anything.

Sango heard honking and cars slamming on the breaks while she could care less what was going on now. To them it was a race against the clock, while Kagome's heart was slowly breaking into pieces each time she closed her eyes, and each time she glanced at the husky she was given. They were already straight on the highway while she kicked the speed up higher, while Kagome's sobs could be heard over the use of the engine.

" Inu..Inuyasha…I love him too much to lose him! Please Inuyasha…please be safe, please hold on. Oh Kami-Sama please let him be safe, he's all I got."

Kagome muttered in-between her sobs, while she had her eyes closed tightly with her hands together praying and hoping everything would be ok.

She could barely make anything out. She could see the barren desert with a couple small shrubs, and the sun heavily beating down on the orangey sand. She had her hands pressed against the window, feeling her heart practically beating through her chest while she knew she was coming closer towards the house.


Kagome lifelessly hung on, and could feel herself sliding from the window to the car seat, feeling like she had no strength, practically nothing left. She closed her eyes lightly while the sounds of the engine were slowly disappearing, and the Sango's cursing totally depleted. She blinked for a moment, seeing Inuyasha standing there holding onto her hand, and tilting her chin slightly while her eyes was glistening almost like it was something magical.

" Kagome.. please don't cry…"

She could feel his warm touch, feeling him grasp her closer towards his chest safely, while she felt his arms embrace her feeling her chocolate colored eyes widened even more as she his rough hands gently caressed her hair and her cheek. She didn't understand it. She just pushed him back slightly, as he refused to let go of her.

" Inuyasha, is that what you wanna do? Leave me be? Leave me to start where I started before? Alone!"

She stomped her feet heavily, and threw him back with force that made her slip out of his embrace. She could feel herself staring at him, noticing he could only stare at her and nothing more. She just ran off without question into the dark night, with her head buried in her hands. She continued running out of breath, as she felt another tug on her arm and opening her watery eyes and back to his sight.

" Kagome.. Your not alone. You've got Marla and Mark, and Sango. You don't need me anymore."

Kagome didn't know whether to cry, or hit him hard on the face. The way he said it stung her. She just looked at his dark black hair, that had waves from the bangs towards the nape of his neck. She could see his dark eyes beaming down on her, saying it without no worry, no hesitation. She then saw the black and purple bruises that appeared, almost out of no where. She clamped her hand over her mouth, when she saw visible outlines of smack marks, on his whole entire body that made her cry even more.

" Inuyasha! You don't understand, I need you!"

She cried even more, tracing the bruises and marks that were on his temple, tracing it to the hairline and back. She could feel the warmth from it, walking back in shock and devastation. She felt the wind tug at her skirt, as she began to choke when she saw the marks that looked like they had been tattooed on.

" Inu…yasha…What happened to you? Inuyasha please answer me!"

He smiled weakly, with a mean expression on his face that made her stomachs tie in knots. He just walked in towards her, touching her hands slightly beaming down on her now with such hate, that made her quiver underneath with fear. Every gentle touch now, was rough and hurtful, while she tried backing off.

" Kagome.. Take your own advice. Good-bye Kagome, I'll see ya someday."


Kagome awoken to the car slamming on the breaks, while she snapped out from her sleepy state, and heard Sango unbuckling quickly and whipped open the car door helping her out.

" Come on Kagome!"

Sango demanded, while Kagome nodded and placed her feet on the nice pavement and was finally near the nice wooden cottage like house that stood so beautifully on it's own. For once she didn't have time to admire things beautiful, nor the scenery, she knew she needed to get in there and find Inuyasha before it was considered too late. Kagome didn't have time to wipe her tears, she held back until she felt like she was allowed to. She held on to the last bit of hope she had, and pressed the husky against her chest in safety as Sango was right near the patio door.

Everything slowed down at that point. Kagome sighed gathering her breath, placing her hand on the doorknob understanding she wasn't going to be that weak, and worthless Kagome that he had first found at the orphanage. She couldn't afford to be like that, and she knew he saved her various times and it was her turn to return the favor. She kept in mind how he had beaten the women that tried to abuse her at the orphanage, and ever since then she felt grateful she had a guy like him.

" What am I weak! You can do this…I..I Can't!"

She screamed out, and finally opened the door walking into the lingering smell of fresh cut wood, and scented candles throughout the house. Sango grasped a hold of her hand helping her through, trying to be strong, especially for her. Sango looked at her sternly, feeling nervous and a eerie feeling throughout the house.

" Kagome, you can do this. I doubt Inuyasha would want you to see you this way. Come on I'll search around, ok?"

Kagome nodded slightly, while she rushed up the dark oak colored stairs, finding her feet against the lush carpet and staring down the hallway with the doors that were all open.

She placed her one foot down on carpet, and swallowed looking in every room screaming out his name with the hint of fear in her voice.

" Inuyasha? Inuyasha? Come on, please answer me!"

She felt everything similar to her, seem so brand new, so different. She slammed open the bathroom door tightening her eyes each time afraid to see what was going to happen. She opened the door to a cold bathroom, that looked completely clean with flowers sitting on the counter beside her. She searched around quickly, and took in the scent and ran back in a panic.

Before she called out another word, she heard a raspy heavy voice lingering from one room that made her stand still, and all she could hear was her heart beating near her ear. That voice made her drop the dog to the floor, feeling her body quake and her head swinging in all directions.

" I'll do it, don't make me do it!"

Kagome swallowed even harder, feeling her surroundings becoming smaller while she was ready to fall to her knees at that point. When she heard that voice, it was like something awoke inside her. Still her lips trembled, barely touching the doorknob matching his voice where it came from. She looked up at the ceiling like she was looking up at Kami-Sama, while she just tried to be calm as she struggled knowing she wanted to open the door.

" Inuyasha…Please..Please don't do this. Inuyasha? I'm…"

Her hands became shaky on the doorknob, feeling anxiety taking over her. She brought her hands in front of her in a prayer as sweat began streaming down her forehead. She muttered a few words nervously while she gathered her breath, and slowly opened the door.

She felt her body jump as she heard the sound clearly rang through her head. She winced, hearing that loud noise go off instantly. She could barely grasp a hold what was going on. All she knew it was over. He was done. Everything she loved and lived for was over.
