There isn't much more to say right now, so I'll just let you go on to read chapter 1. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: If I had just answered
"Kikyo, she touched the lives of everyone she knew and will be missed by everyone who she came across," the priest took a deep breath before continuing, "Sadly, she left behind her husband, Inuyasha, a god daughter, Rin, her sister, Kaede, along with many cousins, uncles, and aunts along with many friends."
Inuyasha sat in front of Kikyo's coffin, his head down. 'Kikyo . . . I thought we'd be together forever. But now I'm all alone . . .'
"Inuyasha, you wished to say a few words . . .?" The priest looked down at the man below him, giving him a reassuring nod, stepping down from the alter to sit.
Inuyasha nodded walking, almost robotically, to the alter ready to speak from his heart.
He took a deep sigh before beginning, "Kikyo was loved by everyone who knew her, her smile could light up the darkest room. And she could always be found helping someone, no matter how busy she was or where she needed to go . . . I remember once when we had just gotten married and didn't have much ourselves, she still sent money to a small boy somewhere in South America . . ." Inuyasha trailed off fighting back punching the alter down to woodchips.
'Pull yourself together!' Inuyasha chastised himself for being so weak at such a time.
He needed to be strong for himself . . .
For their friends and relatives . . .
And for Kikyo.
She would want him to be strong.
" . . . She will be missed by all of us here. Kikyo was not only the best woman I ever knew but the kindest. Everyone here was lucky to have known her. We all know she'll be keeping watch over us from the heavens." After a few silent moments Inuyasha retreated from the alter to return to his seat in the pews, the sounds of sniffling echoing in his ears.
Inuyasha sat down staring at the priest who had begun to walk around to consult with the mourners. As he sat there he felt a hand place itself on his shoulder. Turning around to see who it was, he saw two red orbs staring back at him.
"It'll be alright," she gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before sitting back on her place of the bench behind him.
"Thank you, Kagura," Inuyasha nodded.
"It will be," she nodded pulling out her fan to banish the heat from her face.
Inuyasha turned back around in silence, feeling as if he couldn't look away from his deceased wife for too long.
He secretly envied the family behind him, after this they would be going home and continue to live as happy as a family should be.
"Momma, when is Kikyo gonna get up?" Kagura's young daughter looked up at her mother with truly innocent eyes.
As soon as the words escaped the innocent girl's mouth Inuyasha felt his heart break once again knowing that a child at such a young age had to go through such a thing. 'Kikyo . . .'
"She won't be getting up sweetie," Kagura quickly closed her eyes willing the tears to go away.
"Is she sleeping?" the young girl's chocolate-brown eyes held false understanding of the situation.
"Yes, Rin . . . She's . . . sleeping . . . She'll be sleeping for a long time," still looking at her daughter's eyes hoping that they would ease the pain, Kagura's left hand felt around for the comforting hand of another. Finding it, she gripped it tightly as it clutched back in a rare sign of public affection.
Inuyasha closed his eyes, 'We both found love . . . The only difference is my brother still gets to wake up next to his every morning.'
***
Kagome walked unnoticed through the busy streets of Tokyo. The many busy people walking around her as the sun gently beat down on them all. 'They're . . . Gone . . .' She fought back tears for the fifth time that day.
It'd been a week since her wings had been taken away from her.
A week since she'd been called forward to get a new job.
A week since she'd helped someone . . .
That was her life, her purpose, and her pastime. It's what she 'lived' for, if you could call it living. Existing, maybe.
"Kami-sama, please forgive me."
Closing her eyes, Kagome thought of heaven and once she opened her eyes silver pillars, infinite clouds, and crystal clear lakes surrounded her once again.
Kagome took a sigh of accomplishment.
She was home.
***
The service was over and everyone had begun to talk amongst themselves trying to hide their true feelings by reminiscing about Kikyo.
Everyone there had already given Inuyasha their condolences and he wanted nothing more than to just stand there by his wife's coffin and be left in peace.
Too many things were on his mind right now. He needed to sort some stuff out.
Inuyasha covered Kikyo's hand with his own for a brief moment before he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. Thinking it was another relative he prepared himself to hear another useless 'I'm truly sorry for your loss.'
Once Inuyasha turned two golden eyes were found to be staring into his own. "Sesshoumaru, it's unlike you to care, you sure you want to break your perfect record of not giving a damn?" Inuyasha turned back to face his deceased wife, his brow furrowed.
"I only came for Kagura and Rin, they took a liking to her and I saw it only fit to come," Sesshoumaru admitted in monotone.
"You really know what to say to your brother when he's in mourning, don't you?" Both brothers turned to see Kagura eyeing her husband with a hidden annoyance pooling in her unnatural red eyes, tightly holding her young daughter's hand.
At least Sesshoumaru met a woman that was not only wonderful, but they also shared strange eye colors.
Kagura released her daughter's hand allowing her to run towards her father and tug pleadingly on his pants.
After a sigh of defeat, Sesshoumaru scooped his daughter into his arms, now only giving his brother half his attention.
"Can't you ever show at least *some* emotion around others?" Kagura scolded irritably.
Sesshoumaru turned fully to face his wife letting Rin sit on his shoulders in a piggy back ride position, "What do you think?"
Inuyasha gave an inward sigh realizing, although somewhat heated, the interaction of his brother's family didn't concern him. 'I need some fresh air.'
Inuyasha made his way past all his friends and relatives towards the egress of the church. As he walked the conversations of everyone filled his ears.
"I thought it would last forever . . ."
" . . . They had so many plans . . ."
"I heard they were planning on having a child."
Finally the voices were cut off by Inuyasha closing the church door behind him.
He walked in silence towards the side of the church where the Goshinboku stood alone. Reaching it, he leaned on it in silent thought.
***
"Inuyasha?" The voice of a small girl made it's way to Inuyasha's ears.
"Sayo?" Inuyasha turned standing up in the process to face the glassy-eyed girl a few feet away. "What's wrong?"
"Inuyasha, I miss Kikyo," she began to allow her unshed tears to fall. "I thought . . ."
" . . . That we were going to adopt you," Inuyasha finished for her closing most of the distance between them.
Sayo nodded solemnly, wiping the tears ferociously from her eyes and cheeks.
Inuyasha knelt down and looked at the girl in the eye, "Don't worry, Sayo, I know that you'll be adopted by a loving mother and father."
The young man's heart felt like it was falling apart for the third time that day but nothing could prepare him for the small girl's next words.
"But . . ." Sayo sniffled, "I'll never find parents as good as you."
Inuyasha's eyes softened at the little girl's words. "It'll be ok, it's not like you're saying goodbye forever, right?"
She hesitated but Sayo nodded in doubtful agreement, "You'll come visit me won't you?" Her deep brown eyes stared up at him as innocent as they could have ever been.
"Sure," Inuyasha gave her a small, but slightly sad, smile. "I promise."
Sayo smiled before leaping on him to give him her seven-year-old-version of a bear hug.
"Sayo! It's time to go!" A young motherly-looking social worker, that had been nice enough to allow Sayo to say her goodbyes to Kikyo, called from her car.
"I . . . Gotta go," Sayo sighed easing off Inuyasha and smiling adorably. "Bye Inuyasha!" She yelled running off towards the woman.
"Bye Sayo," He said almost as low as a whisper. Inuyasha sighed as he reentered the church, gripped his handle of the coffin, and helped carry his deceased wife to the hearse.
***
Kagome looked around to see other of her fellow angels all enjoying heaven for themselves. The young angel looked to her right to see the garden she had visited everyday since she had come.
Since she had gotten her wings her visits had been less frequent.
'I guess I'll be able to visit everyday again now, won't I?' She thought silently to herself as she made her way to the garden.
It was hard, even for an angel, to find good in losing your wings.
As Kagome walked through the beautiful foliage she stopped every so often to smell the roses. 'Somehow, the roses always make me feel so much better.' She gave an inward smile.
Even on Earth the wonderful scent of the rose could lift her spirits although the roses smelled nothing alike at all.
Everything in heaven was perfect, even the smell of a simple rose. Not an innocent's idea of perfect, but a perfect that couldn't even be defined. No one could understand unless they were there, in heaven.
'I wonder if I'll ever have another chance to help someone ever again.' Kagome stopped to stroke a rose's petals. 'Will I be forgiven?'
"As a matter of fact, you will," an angel with brown hair walked towards gracefully until she reached Kagome, her magenta eyes sparkling with a mix of happiness and impatience.
"Sango?" Kagome's eyes brightened as well. "What do you mean?"
"You have another assignment, Kagome," Sango beamed.
'Everyone agreed I could continue so soon?' Kagome's mind was racing with ecstatic waves of energy.
As if reading her mind, Sango nodded, "All of the Five agreed, Shippou, Miroku, Toutousai, and Myouga, along with myself of course."
Kagome rushed forward towards the angel giving her a hug of gratitude. "Arigatou Sango-chan!"
"I didn't think Shippou would say it was time for you yet, seeing how the sentencing was only a week ago . . ." Sango continued, still beaming her beautiful, bright smile. "I think it was mostly Miroku's words that caused his agreement."
"Kami-sama has forgiven me, just like I hoped!" Kagome gave a silent prayer before settling down in the shimmering green grass to continue their discussion.
Sango's wings folded behind her causing them to shimmer as she sat down across from Kagome looking up at the higher heavens at the white birds flying gracefully above them.
Kagome felt a pang of envy before the feelings over excitement overjoyed her once more. She had never been a normal angel, unlike the others Kagome still carried most human emotions with her now. Although they were all overpowered by happiness, loyalty, trust, and values they still were a part of her heart.
She could easily connect with the innocents, more so than most.
That, although, wasn't always good.
"There is an innocent, Kagome, who has lost all his faith in humanity and Kami-sama," Sango informed.
"That's terrible, how did the innocent manage to lose all of his faith in the first place?" Kagome settled more comfortably into the grass.
"His name is Inuyasha, his wife died a week ago, the same day you lost your wings," Sango explained, "Since then he has been trying to cope alone but to no avail."
"I will help him starting the next Earth day, Sango-chan." Kagome promised looking into the magenta eyes of her old friend. "I'm glad we both made it here, Sango-chan."
"As am I," Sango smiled. "As am I."
***
Everyone had gotten in their cars to head home after a few silent moments at Kikyo's burial.
Kagura and her younger sister, Kanna, had both been trying to convince Inuyasha to come stay with them for the night. But based on Sesshoumaru's grudging, not to mention forced, agreement and Inuyasha's constant protests they had finally let it go.
"Kagura!" Sesshoumaru honked the horn in annoyance.
Both sisters rolled their eyes but gave in to the aggravated man in the car.
"Well, Inuyasha, you know where you're welcome. If you need anything, just call," Kagura gave him a reassuring smile and headed to the car.
"Momma!" Rin's delighted calls for her mother demonstrated how life would be so much the same for his brother's family as it was a week ago.
Save for the calls Kagura and Kikyo would have everyone Saturday for about to hours.
But that was one expense Inuyasha could live without.
They would all be going home and tomorrow their daily rituals would reoccur.
Kagura, Kanna, and Rin waved to Inuyasha from the family Suburban, imported from America, as he returned the wave they pulled out of the parking lot onto the empty road and headed to their home in the suburbs.
Inuyasha sighed walking farther away from his Honda towards the cemetery. As he reached Kikyo's immensely decorated grave he sighed.
"With everyone bothering me this week I haven't been able to say this. Good bye Kikyo-chan."
***
Inuyasha pulled into his driveway killing the engine. He stepped out of his car and slammed the door.
It was as if the whole world had stopped.
The sounds of the last birds chirping before sunset were missing, as were the sounds of the large group of crickets that usually camped out right in front of their home each night.
He leaned up against his black Honda and looked out at their lawn.
The grass still short like it had been a week ago when it had all happened. He could remember what he was doing that day.
He had been mowing the lawn.
Something he rarely ever did.
The lawn mower had been so loud he hadn't heard his cell.
Since he hadn't heard it ringing he didn't answer it.
Because he hadn't answered it . . .
. . . Kikyo was dead.

Well, that's chapter one. Hope you liked! Sorry if it's kind of depressing right now, but I promise it WILL get better. And if not next chapter, then soon. If you're immensely depressed go read one of my fluffy stories like Sleepover or go watch a movie . . . I don't want you guys to be sad! LOL.
Well anyway:
Here are a few things you might be wondering:
1) Is Inuyasha human in this fic?
Yes, in this fanfic Inuyasha is human.
2) Is his brother?
Yeah, Sesshoumaru is also a human, although he still has his silver hair and golden eyes. Weird huh? Oh well, I've met weirder. ^^
3) Will it be this depressing for the whole story?!
Oh! No, no, no, don't worry. It'll only be angst for a while, because there is something called the healing process that has to work. But don't worry, angels help heal *faster*, don't they? *Nods* Just wait and see.
Author's Note: Hey everyone! This is my newest chapterized fic and I'm glad you all like it so much! Well this is where more characters are introduced and all, so . . . Yeah. ^_^;
There isn't much more to say right now, so I'll just let you go on to read chapter 1. Enjoy!
