'Kagome.'

"NO KAGOME!" Inuyasha cried. He just watched his love fall to the ground dead. By Sesshomaru's hands, the least person he would expect to do that. He didn't like to be bothered by humans. Inuyasha kneeled by Kagome's lifeless form. He took in her hazel eyes that were now clouded over and turned a sick gray. A tear fell down his cheek.

'Why? Why her? She never did anything to anybody!' Inuyasha cradled her in his arms and put his face into her hair and sniffed.

'Her scent, it's fading.' Inuyasha took in a deep breath. He was trying to memorize her lavender scent before it faded although he knew it by heart. Her scent was like drugs to him.

Sesshomaru watched from a short distance away. He felt as if his heart had been cut in two.

'This wench can't leave me. She still has to teach Rin and I need her…yes I need her.' Recognition crossed the proud taiyoukai's face. He needed her and he knew it. She gave him a challenge that no other female had given him. She was enticing when she was just standing there and she was tempting him with just simple words. Her open expressions made him envious. He admired her although he wouldn't tell that to her face.

'I need her to love me like she loves Rin maybe even more.'

Sesshomaru stopped his thinking process as he began to see.

'I need her to love me because I'm falling in love with her.'

When Kikyo arrived on the scene her Inuyasha was holding Kagome. At first jealously sparked inside her but then she realized Kagome wasn't responding and Inuyasha was crying. Kagome was dead.

Kikyo silently walked over to Inuyasha and kneeled near him. She put her arm around him and pulled his face to face her. There were tears all down his face. She hugged him and he hugged her back with one arm crying into her priestess garments.

"She's dead Kikyo. She's dead."

Kikyo looked up at Sesshomaru.

"It's all your fault. I can feel it."

She stood up and put an arrow into the crook and cocked it back. "One death deserves another." And she let it fly.

Something inside Shippo was crushed. He couldn't understand it but he felt something inside him snap. He was suddenly overcome with sadness, kind of like when his real okaasan died and when he watched his father (a/n: how do u spell father in jap?) being worn around Hiten's brother as a fashion statement.

Shippo ran to Sango and Miroku in the field. They each had a hand over their heart.

"Sango! Miroku! Something's...!"

"Yes, Shippo we can feel it too. Something's not right." Miroku helped Sango up and they each turned to the direction of the forest where they saw flashes of light not long ago. Birds weere flying in the air. That wasn't good. Birds usually fly away from danger.

'Something is going on here and I want to find out.' Sango shook out of Miroku's grasp and said that she was going to get her Hiraikotsu and Miroku followed her to get his staff.

Shippo looked into the distance.

'Okaasan.'

Sesshomaru stared at the dead miko, the very miko that Inuyasha chose Kagome over.

'What a foolish thing to do Inuyasha.'

Kikyo let her arrow fly and Sesshomaru easily dodged it.

"No more Kikyo. Now is the time to mourn Kagome." Another tear fell down Inuyasha's cheek.

Kikyo put down her bow and returned to her position next to Inuyasha but kept one eye on Sesshomaru.

"Can you save her Kikyo?"

"No." Inuyasha turned his eyes downcast. "I can only heal the living not the dead."

Sesshomaru looked down at his waist. Tensaiga was pulsing. He knew that in his heart he wanted to use it and the Tensaiga wanted him to use it but his pride stopped him.

'She's just a human.'

He continued to watch them crying over her.

He crept a little closer. He saw the dead miko shift in her position having her bow ready. He stopped. He looked atKagome's angelic features. The ways her hair outlined her face and made it seem aglow. She looked like a dead angel. Sadness crept into his eyes, something he usually wouldn't allow. It was a sign of weakness.

He took one step back then some more steps forward. This time Inuyasha was rigid.

"You can kill us both Sesshomaru. We are due for our time. Kikyo is dead and I'm supposed to be with her but you killed Kagome, someone who isn't supposed to die so young. You can think about that while you live. We'll see her in hell."

Sesshomaru stopped and looked at her again. Time was running short. He could see the hell demons chaining her up to take her away with them. If he gave them enough time she would be dragged down and he wouldn't be able to save her. Tensaiga pulsed louder matching his heartbeat. He decided to use it.

Sesshomaru stepped closer to them. Kikyo now stood fully up, her bow straight at his heart.

Sesshomaru kept coming closer. "Let him come Kikyo," Inuyasha said with a dead voice. Kikyo gave him a deadly glare and backed off.

Sesshomaru pulled out his sword. He kicked Inuyasha out of the way and held it over Kagome's body.

Inuyasha cursed loudly. "Sesshomaru! Isn't it enough she's dead?"

Inuyasha pulled out Tetsusaiga and raised it near Sesshomaru. Kikyo cocked her bow in the ready position. Sesshomaru put it in front of Inuyasha's eyes. "Take a good look."

Inuyasha stared. "Kikyo lower your bow now."

Kikyo backed off. Sesshomaru cut across the top ofKagome's body and killed all the hell demons. He waited for Kagome to open hereyes or breath but she didn't respond.

'Maybe she can't be revived anymore. What if my stalling has missed the chance torevive her?' Sesshomaru tried again, this time striking the chains that held her. She was still unresponsive.

They waited several minutes, but Kagome didn't revive.

'Kagome!'
