Chapter 10

Kagome and Kikyo arrived at the battlefield. On the battlefield, Inuyasha was lying face flat on the ground and Koga was standing over him. Fear struck Kagome's eyes and the only person to see it was Kikyo.

"Koga!" Kagome screamed. Koga looked up from Inuyasha's body as Kagome and Kikyo landed on the battlefield. Kagome fell to her knees in horror. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She covered her mouth. "You- you didn't..." Kagome couldn't finish the sentence. "Please tell me you didn't!" She screamed. Koga ran over to her side. He tried to comfort her. "DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" She screamed at him. "Don't touch me." She said quieter.

"I didn't do it. I didn't kill him." Koga said trying to calm her down.

"Then what is he doing lying on the ground?" Kikyo asked. "You guys did come out here with the intention of fighting did you not?" Kikyo stated.

"We did but-" Kagome abruptly stood up and wobbly walked over to Inuyasha's side. She fell on the ground and on Inuyasha. She got up and wiped off her face.

"Blood." She said. 'Of course there would be blood. It was a battle between these two after all.' Kagome thought to herself. She rolled Inuyasha over and hugged him. Her head was at his heart. She didn't hear anything. She started crying. "Kikyo." She choked out. Kikyo came over to her side. "He's, he's..." Kagome bursted into tears and she kept wiping them away. Kikyo held her and Kagome thought of something. "Thank you Kikyo, you actually are a little like your brother." Kagome said. Kikyo's eyes widened. Kagome let go of Kikyo and said, "I'm fine now, and can I be left alone with Inuyasha?"

Kikyo looked at her and him and nodded. She walked back to Koga and took him away from the battlegrounds. Kagome watched them leave. She turned back around to Inuyasha and laid on his chest.

"How did it come to this Inuyasha? Why did you and Koga just leave me there under that tree? Why," Kagome choked. "Why did you have to die?" She whispered. She was crying again. She just hugged Inuyasha and tried to hear his heart beating. As hard as she tried to listen, there was no heartbeat. "We've been through so much together." She cried. "Why did you leave me Inuyasha?! Didn't always swear to protect me?!" She yelled. She couldn't take it she knew she would probably go crazy soon. "Inuyasha! Inuyasha, come back!" She yelled. "How can you die by Koga's hand huh? We've met so many more strong people than him! How could you die by his hand?! What will everyone else say? Do? What about Sango?! If you can't live for me, at least do it for her!" Kagome was lightly beating on his chest now. She looked at his and tears rolled down her face, he looked like a sleeping little boy. "I never even got to tell you my true feelings. I never even go to kiss you once." She said sadly. She looked at Inuyasha's lips and kissed him lightly on his lips. They were cold. Kagome was lying to the side of Inuyasha. She took one of Inuyasha's arms and wrapped it around her. "Don't worry Inuyasha, until they come back, I won't leave you." She said and then slowly drifted off to sleep.

'I love you Inuyasha. I always will.'

Inuyasha opened his eyes. He sat up. "Whoa, I could have sworn I was dead." He said. He looked around him. Kagome was to his left, facing him. She was asleep. "Kagome?" He asked. How did she get there? He looked around for Koga but did not find him. He couldn't smell or hear him either. He looked down at Kagome again. He didn't want to wake her but he had to get her out of the battlefield. He found his sword and sheathed it and then picked Kagome up and carried her into the woods.

Inuyasha was walking back to the village, Kagome in his arms, he was tired but he could make it. He wondered why only Kagome had been there with him. He thought back to the fight.

"I guess Kagome stays with me." Inuyasha announced.

"Heh, you wish dog turd. She'll never be yours. She will never grow to love you. Do you hear me?!"

Inuyasha pushed the sword closer to Koga's throat. "Do you want to repeat that?" He asked mockingly.

Koga just looked up into his eyes. He was sweating. 'I was barely hurt at that time. I had a deep gash in my left arm and some scratches elsewhere but that was about it. Koga was deeply wounded in his stomach and he kept bleeding and then I sheathed my sword.'

"Just leave Kagome and I alone. We don't need you interrupting us anymore." 'I started walking away when Koga yelled at me.'

"Inuyasha! Don't think you've won this yet!" 'I turned around and then...' Inuyasha couldn't remember what happened but then suddenly it hit him. 'That's right! Another person attacked me! But who was it?'
