The lonely cars on the highway zoomed past Kagome's window. Focused for a minute before they all mixed together in one big blur as a tear defiantly made its way out of Kagome's eye, slowly making its way down her cheek making a little wet line as it went. The happy clear blue sky un-matching from Kagome's feelings. And that was the problem; she didn't know how she felt exactly. Her thoughts went to her family. If they were alive would they want her to do this?

'… What does that matter though? If they were alive I wouldn't…I wouldn't have to… to do this.'

Emotions and confusion mixing up in her chest, she shook her head. Pushing all thoughts out of her mind as she let her head relax, moving down in her chair and resting comfortably, confident on what she was goanna do.

Inuyasha walked outside to sit on a bench out front. His stomach still hurt, and he was trying to figure out what was up with Kagome. I mean was she that mad. They hadn't been going out or anything. He stood up and sighed, "girls", he mumbled as he leaned against the school building, not able to sit in one place. He was goanna just skip like his original plan but; without going to see Kagome, when he saw a familiar girl coming up the sidewalk. He raised his eyebrows wondering what Sango was doing skipping. She was always so serious about not skipping class. He realized she was goanna kill him for skipping and was about to run when she called out to him. turning around slowly knowing he was busted, he looked up at his friend expecting to see her pissed off, but slightly shocked at her confused expression.

'Jesus Christ, are all girls this confusing? Do they have some sorta national day when they all decide to act like they're on their periods or something? Or am I just frickin special', Inuyasha thought annoyed.

"Inuyasha Kagome's acting funny", Sango said, her emotion unidentifiable through her voice.

"What do u mean Sango", asked Inuyasha, worriedly. "

"She… she said some weird stuff, Inuyasha. But before I could ask her about anything she had jumped on a bus. She said something about, saying she was sorry to you. That what she does doesn't…concern you or something. And that she's happier…. But I don't understand it. She seemed so…"

"Blank…", finished Inuyasha for Sango.

' She did seem blank. It was as if she had blocked of all emotion, but I already knew this. But what she said, that's whats confusing. I mean-'

But Inuyasha didn't ever get to what he meant because a cocky voice interrupted his thoughts.

" You should a seen her face when she saw me. I mean I can't believe she didn't notice me behind her the whole time. Of course I'm sure she was devastated about Inuyasha and kikyo huh? Old dog breath probably thinks that's why she was so upset. But I think ill take some of the credit. It was fun to watch her sob, when I was done. What a fool to think she had escaped me."

Inuyasha knew that voice… and he knew what he was talking about. It hadn't been the first time he'd heard Koga bragging about what he'd done to some defenseless girl. But this time…this time he knew exactly who it was he was talking about. And suddenly what Kagome had said to Sango made exact sense. Kagome was going to…No!

Inuyasha whipped around to Sango. "Sango what bus did she get on", he asked panicking and shaking her shoulders. "I'm not sure…some beach I think…", answered Sango wondering why it mattered.

Inuyasha knew where she was going, and he knew what she was planning to do to. If she had just left another bus wouldn't come for another hour, and he didn't have the time to wait. He ran to the school payphone and opened the phonebook off of it, trying to find a cab company as soon as possible. Finding a number, he jammed the numbers written down on the phone as fast as possible, forgetting to put in the change. Quickly pulling out a few quarters he jammed them all in and called. A young woman's voice answered asking, " how may I help you?" he gave the woman the school address and waited on the curb impatiently.

"Inuyasha, asked Sango confused. Whats going on? Where are you going?"

Inuyasha shook his head not wanting to say, because maybe if he didn't say anything it wouldn't be true. And maybe when he got there she'd just be sitting there waiting for him. Waiting and he'd straighten everything out. Maybe he was just over reacting. Yes…just over reacting.

He wasn't sure how long he had been sitting there waiting for the cab until it pulled up in front of him. He opened the door and slid onto the leather black leather seats, not really noticing where he was. He was about to close the door when someone's hand stopped him. "Inuyasha where the hell do you think you're going", she asked, her eyes searching his face. Inuyasha once again gave her no reply, still hoping. "Fine Inuyasha, don't answer me, then I'm coming and ill see for myself. Inuyasha turned to the driver, "to Sebago beach", he said.

His head leaning back against his seat, Inuyasha closed his eyes. His stomach had lost its previous guilt feeling, and was now churning, threatening to let out that morning's breakfast. He opened his eyes and put his face on the window looking out of it. His breath fogging it up so nothing showed.

The bus arrived at Sebago beach, and Kagome walked off of it and watched as it drove away. It was a chilly day but Kagome didn't seem to notice, as she kicked off her shoes. She walked down on the beach and let the ocean water wash over her feet, looking up to the sky. The wind blew over her face peacefully, and her hair gently whipped out behind her. She took a deep breath, inhaling the salt scented air. She set down her bag a good way away from the water, and pulled something out of it. She then started for the water. As the water moved from her ankles to her legs, she felt a shiver go up and down her body. Closing her eyes she stepped farther and farther into its icy depths. The water had now made it up to her stomach and she brought up the object she had taken from her bag, a kitchen knife, and brought it up to her wrist, as she once again looked up to the sky and whispered, "I'm coming", as she slit her wrist right on the mark. A sudden stream of warm crimson liquid falling down her arm. The hairs on her arms prickled up. She dropped the knife fell to her knees.

The cab stopped, and Inuyasha looked out the window to see the beach sign. He shot up opening the door as fast as he could ignoring the cab drivers yells, telling him he still hadn't pay. He looked down at the sand and followed the fresh footprints down the beach. He saw Kagome's bag laying there abandoned and frantically searched the beach with his eyes for her. They suddenly spotted her form on her knees in the water.

He ran to the water splashing around water, and kneeled down in front of her hugging her. "Inuyasha", came Kagome's voice weakly. "Inuyasha good-bye, I love you."

"Kagome!"

Inuyasha pulled himself away from her body and looked at her face. His eyes widened in horror at what he saw. Kagome's usually warm beautiful eyes staring lifelessly into space. Her mouth in an odd smile. He dragged her body onto the sand, and stared at the water, filled with Kagome's blood. He suddenly turned away and threw up. His whole body shaking as he shook his head. He stopped and looked at the scene around him. The whole world was silent. He saw Sango next to him, but didn't hear her screams. He saw the seagulls flying around, but couldn't hear their squawks. And suddenly the whole silent world went black.

Important authors note: hello to everyone who has been reading my story. Ok I understand that everyone didn't want Kagome to die. That you all probably think it was cruel. Am I right? But before you review and tell me I'm evil (not that it bothers me lol I just think you all should all know) that it would be cruel for me to let Kagome live in this story. I mean lets look at the facts. Kagome has been abused by her foster father for the past four years, she was just raped by Koga, and she didn't get Inuyasha. Even if I had given her Inuyasha she would have to deal with the abuse from her foster father and Koga. Inuyasha couldn't always protect her, he tried to protect her from Koga but we all saw that didn't work. I'm sure all of you could argue with me that it could of all been fixed but in real life happy endings are rare, and happy lives even more so. I'm sorry if your mad at me for what has happened but I cant change it. I hope you did like it and understand that Kagome's happier this way.

THIS IS NOT THE LAST CHAPTER
