Eternal Slumber
A small group of people consisting of an Inu hanuyo, a young monk, a female demon exterminator, a neko demon, and a small kit searched the forest that surrounds a small village for their lost companion. What they found was not what they would have wanted. Pined to the Tree of Ages with and arrow was a letter written by the time traveling young priestess.
Dear, Inuyasha
I write to you this letter to let you know what I have decided. It has been but a week since Naraku's demise and the Shikon Jewel has become whole once again. Last night and every other night before that I have thought long and hard about what should be done. Do we make a wish on the jewel? My decision is that we do not. I am sorry Inuyasha but I can not let you become a full demon. Based on what happened to you and Kikyo. I have learned that no wish is a self-fish wish. Please try to understand and forgive me for what I have to do. You see if Naraku wouldn't have interfered and you had made that wish fifty years ago the jewel wouldn't have been purified. Your wish would have been granted yes but it can only cease to exist if a true pure wish is made on it. You wanted to be a human so that would have a place to belong and Kikyo would have been rid of her burden of protecting the jewel. You wouldn't be and outcast no more and Kikyo would have been and ordinary woman. Now do you see why any wish made on the jewel is never a self-fish wish and why any wish made on it would have never worked out? All I want is for a way that I can make all of your wishes come true but I can not. But there is one I can fulfill. I guess it is no secret to any one that I am deeply in love with you Inuyasha, but sadly you don't feel the same way about me. Your love and heart belong to Kikyo. It has, is, and always will be. I was just five hundred years to late. I thought that with Naraku out of the way you and Kikyo could finally be together, but you are not. I finally figured out why. It's because I am still here, I am still alive. Her soul is still inside my body. Until her soul returns to her she will for ever remain the walking dead. I guess what I am trying to say is that all I want is for you to be happy and if your happiness is along side Kikyo that so be it. I just hope that you can forgive me for being in the way of you and Kikyo. I love you Inuyasha and your happiness is all I want. Before you throw away this letter and for get all about me could you do me one last favor. Could you tell my family and the others that I love them very much and that I would always watch over them?
Love you always,
Kagome
"N-no Kagome, KAGOME!" (Inuyasha)
"Kagome!" (Sango)
"Lady Kagome!" (Miroku)
"Kassan!" (Shipo)
"Kagome please answer us!" (Sango)
"Kassan don't leave me!" (Shipo)
"KAGOME!" (All)
But their please and shouts would be in vain. For fifteen mile north of the Bone Eaters Well lay the body of the young priestess. With her last breath she begged forgiveness to the hanuyo she loved so mush and to the dead miko. Her beautiful soft chocolate brown eyes slowly closed never to be open again. Darkness consumed her as she fell in to a… eternal slumber.
