One and Only

Last time:

InuYasha watched as she gracefully danced in circles, the moon tightly embracing her figure. She looked like an angel fallen to earth. He saw her turn from carefree to deep in thought, before collapsing. He was about to run to her, but paused when he heard her mumble something. "Father..." he looked at her with deep sympathy and took a few gentle steps towards her.

She looked up, feeling something there. She stood up, tears staining her face. She looked at the intruder. "Inu...Yasha..."


Chapter something or other: near the end...

Kagome looked at him, searching his eyes for emotions.
He sat down beside her and wiped her tear stained cheeks. Kagome knew she would have to tell him anyway.

"He was at home, and I was dancing for him. He was smiling at me and saying I would be a great dancer someday if I tried. He always told me that if you try, you can do it. I was dancing, and then he gasped and clutched his chest." She sobbed quietly. InuYasha paused and squeezed her hand gently, comforting her.

"My mother took him to the hospital. I was standing at the side of his hospital bed, and he told me his heart was weak, but he would come home and watch me dance some more soon. I said I would dance for him now, while I was here. I was dancing, and I heard him tell me something. I asked him what he said, and he said: 'You are my favourite little girl. You keep on trying, and you will never fail. You are my special One and Only.' I remember clearly that he was crying. I held his hand. I heard a loud beep that wouldn't stop by Daddy. I held on tighter. I knew what was happening. I held on as tight as I could, but his hand…went slack…and I was holding his pinky telling him to wake up, crying. I remember my mom coming in and crying too. She held my hand and whispered in my ear that Daddy would always watch over me and protect me if I kept him in my heart." Kagome stopped and sobbed lightly, as if gaining confidence.

"I promised her I would. And we just crouched there for a while. I was still holding Daddy's hand, and Mommy held mine. I stayed like that for a while before a nurse came in and told us that my mom needed to fill out some forms. She nodded and started to follow the nurse out of the room. She told me I could stay there." She looked down. InuYasha's eyes softened.

"She came back after a while. She told me we had to go. I was crying, but she came over and helped me let go of my dad's hand. I let go of his hand..For the last time." She finished.

"Kago-" InuYasha started.

"No. I don't need sympathy, InuYasha. I loved my dad, and I got to live part of my life with him. You never met yours. I couldn't imagine never knowing my father," she said, wiping her tears.

"I did fine on my own. If I had known my dad and lost him, like my mom, I don't think I would have been able to handle it. You were strong. You do keep trying." He said confidently, yet softly.


"Kagome!" InuYasha could hear Miroku's petty calls for Kagome loud and clear from where he was. Kagome turned her head. Apparently she had too.

"Come on. I need to hit him."

"Why?"

"…umm…no reason."

"Alright."


Apparently I must have lost several reviewers when I stopped updating for that last while..and noone else is reviewing, so I am gonna start smushing in the last chapters so I can finish it for those few that still read this.

And by the way, after the first line, I was tempted (seriously, I pondered the thought for like 5 minutes) about writing..


Kagome looked at him, searching his eyes for emotion.

"Kagome, you are only a jewel shard detector, go home, I don't need you anymore, I have Kikyo."


But then I thought…that is just way too cruel. But you are so lucky I am not that desperate to get reviews anymore.

I have decided that I am just gonna finish this, then maybe, after a while, delete it. Because I am starting to hate the way I wrote it. That is also why I reedited the first three chapters, because they sucked the most.

I have lostmost of mydesire to keep writing this, but I will, if only for those wonderful people who can raise my spirit with their wonderful reviews.

Thank you very much to

Because you stuck by me for most of the story. I think you are the most Loyal reviewers I have, except for my beta, Aliryn, you are a big help. :sends lots of gifts:

Arigato, I don't care if you review or email me. Or if you read this. I will update sometime in the time period of two to three weeks unless something comes up to make me do so earlier or later than that.
