Chapter 17 A Kiss of life

Inuyasha stayed there holding Kagome's dead body in his arms. He loved her with all of his heart, and she didn't even get to know about it before she died. With tears streaming down his eyes he looked up at her sweet face. It was still so beautiful, no matter how bruised it might look from the accident. She looked like she was sleeping, as if he could kiss her and have her just wake up. Slowly he leaned down and caught her lips in a kiss that would have been breath taking… if she had breath. Inuyasha felt something strange go through his mind as he remembered something.

He jumped up and looked for something that he could use to cut himself. He found a small blade on a table next to Kagome's bed and grabbed it. Before anyone could say anything he sliced his wrist, right across the center of it. The doctor looked shocked and tried to pull the knife out of Inuyasha's hand. Inuyasha let him have it, he did what he needed to do. Quickly he brought his wrist up to his mouth so that there was blood in his mouth and on his lips. He then lowered his mouth to Kagome again and made the blood go into her mouth.

He kept it there for a minute, praying that the blood would soak into her skin and do what he had planned on it doing. He could hear a faint heartbeat and pulled back. A few seconds later the machines that were still hooked up to Kagome started to beep and the doctor dropped the bloody knife on the floor as his jaw dropped. Kagome was opening her eyes slowly and looking up at Inuyasha with such love in her eyes he never thought it was possible.

Sango and Miroku ran over to the bed and saw that Kagome was awake… no…alive again. "How did you do that Inuyasha?" Sango all but yelled him as she threw herself at her friend and held her tight, knocking Inuyasha out of the way as she did.

"It was my demon blood. Demon blood can heal and I had read before that it had the power to bring people back to life, but only if both of them loved each other deeply. I was praying now more then ever that Kagome had loved me as much as I loved her," Inuyasha said. He still had tears running down his face and dripping off of his chin. "I do not know about what will happen with out child though, I don't think the little one will have been brought back as well."

"When were you going to tell us that Kagome was pregnant? And when in the hell did it happen?" Miroku said looking at Inuyasha with his own tears on his face.

"We didn't know how you would talk it… it happened the night we got home after that club we went to."

The doctor was able to pull himself back together to tell the others that they needed to leave for a few minutes to that he could do an examination and see if Kagome was all right now, and if the child was alive. Inuyasha was allowed to stay in the room and Sango and Miroku were shooed into the hall to wait.

After the examination Inuyasha was informed that the baby was dead, there was nothing he could do for it now. Inuyasha just sat there and held Kagome while she cried into his chest, she had finally gotten to the point where she WANTED the child… not it was taken away from her.

Sango and Miroku were told about what happened and they were both shocked, they were not sure if they should be sad about the loss of the baby or not at first. However, when they saw how Kagome was reacting to it they knew that it was something that would be missed in their lives.

A week later Kagome and Inuyasha were standing in a graveyard with a small grave in front of them. "I still don't get what the point of the grave was. The baby wasn't even big enough to have to burry," Kagome said while she stood and looked at the grave while being held in Inuyasha's arms.

"Neither do I but it doesn't really matter all that much, I wanted to make sure that our child was remembered so I had the grave made," Inuyasha said with a smile. He held Kagome tighter and they left the graveyard. "So how about we go and get some food somewhere on the way home?"

"Sure, where do you want to go?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha just shrugged his shoulders and they wandered into a restaurant close to the graveyard.

Inuyasha and Kagome sat next to each other, Inuyasha refused to let go of Kagome, almost as if he was scared that he would lose her if he did. Dinner came and the two of them ate it and enjoyed every bite of it. Kagome could tell that Inuyasha was nervous about something and was sick of having to wait to find out what it was so she finally asked him about it.

"Inuyasha what is your problem? You have been sitting here nervous for like 15 minutes. Did you like magically learn how to think about things or something?" Kagome asked him with a smirk.

Inuyasha laughed and smiled, but it was not a true smile. He was really thinking about something that had been bothering him since that day in the hospital. The thing is… he loved Kagome and yet had never told her. Sure she must have known he did because she would not be alive if he didn't but still… he felt like he needed top tell her formally... in some way.

"Kagome I have something I need to tell you," Inuyasha said softly. Kagome looked at him with concern on her face and urged him to continue. "I…well the thing is… I think… that I… I… um… well… I love you Kagome," he said and he looked straight into her eyes. "I love you more then I would have ever thought I could."

Kagome was surprised to say the least. Sure she somehow knew that he loved her but she had never heard him actually say it before. She loved him to... and she knew what to do about it. "Well you know what Inuyasha. I love you too."

A hooded man stood in the corner and watched the little confession of the two teenagers. One of them looked awfully familiar but her back was to him. He knew who it was though it was Kagome. He knew it was her and he was not going to give up on getting her back.

Slowly he got up and walked out the door, waiting for the right moment to strike and put his plan into action.

Inuyasha paid for the food and they got ready to leave. After they got outside Inuyasha wrapped his arms around Kagome once again and they started toward the house. When they were less then a block down the street he stopped, heart beating fast. "Someone is in there, and he or she is watching us," he said softly into Kagome's ear while slightly moving his head to the side to indicate the alley to their right. Kagome nodded and started to walk faster.

Before they were able to take 10 steps Inuyasha was suddenly hit in the head with something hard and he was knocked to the ground. Kagome knelled next to him to see if he was ok. When he opened his eyes she smiled but his eyes got wide and he tried to get Kagome to move but it was to late.

Kagome was grabbed around the middle and carried off my a hooded stranger into thie night. "KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran after them, with every intention of getting his love back.
