Hey everybody! Here's the next chapter! I have most of the story written down on paper so I won't have ya waitin too long! But im a shizzly typer so bear with me! Lol WELL on with the chappie!

I just want to say THANK YOU to K005 for giving me the first review! It really made me happy! and don't worry I have special plans for Kikyou later on! BWAHHAHAHAHAHA! ahem...

Disclaimer: We all know that I don't own Link or Inuyasha so why are you asking/:) hehe!

((Kaiho suru- Set free))

Miroku ran fast and hard as he lost himself in the feeling of anxiety. Making sharp turns and tripping slightly over rocks and clumps of dirt..He spotted her running figure in the distance and quickened his his pace.

"Where is she going?" He huffed, "KAGOME!" he rasped, feebly, calling out to her.

'Miroku!'

He ran faster..seeing as she didn't seem to acknowledge his cries.

'What is she doing?' He thought as her footsteps became louder in his ears from the closeness. He smirked, even through all of the anxiousness that dwelled in him. He reached out and grasped her wrist.

"Gotcha!" He fell with a thump to the ground in exhaustion, bringing her with him. She wriggled in his grasp and whimpered to him in a melancholy tone.

"Why did you follow me Miroku? I have to do this on my own...sort out my problems..I have to find a way to make his life easier!" She sobbed uncontrollably.

Miroku hadn't the slightest clue what went on..but somehow, he knew what was the cause of it..or better yet, who. What were her intentions? He stared out behind Kagome and gasped sharply.

'No! No, no, NO!' It wasn't supposed to be this way! She was going to marry, have children, be a mother and most importantly be a best friend until death. She can't just end it all because of the chauvinistic bastard that Inuyasha is!

Still, he gathered her up in his arms and held her tightly to whisper in her ear.

"Kagome, you can find the answer, I know you can! But not like this! Never like this! I can help you..we can help you! You mean so much more to everybody than you think you do.." he stuttered.

'What you mean to me! You'll never understand Kagome!' He thought suddenly afraid of never, ever being able to see Kagome's smiling face, bright attitude and softness that could crumble a mountain into the silkiest grains of sand. But she will never understand his feelings..nobody would.

"Miroku..I have to go. I won't live with another day of this...this torture that Inuyasha puts me through..For all I know..." She gasped at her sudden envious feeling, "I-I'm sorry! I'm sorry Miroku!" She collided against his chest, heaving sobs and staining the monk's robes a midnight purple.

"M-Miroku?" she started, when her breaths became stable and slow, "Will you forget me?" She allowed a single tear to escape the bridges of her lashes.

Miroku gasped and shook her.

"Kagome! Don't do this! You can't dammit!" He took her face in his hands and wiped every tear from her face and fought with every depth of him to keep from crying himself senseless, "I will never allow it!" He hugged his best friend tenderly and brushed his hand up and down her back in comfort, burrying his head in the nape of her neck.

Kagome blushed and smiled at all of the affection that her houshi was showing, but did that mean that he was changing her mind?

'I'm sorry Miroku.' She stole a quick kiss on the cheek for him, and backed away from his stunned form, closer to the edge of the sloped cliff.

"Miroku, you were always the sensible one, you funny lecher!" She giggled, " Picking everybody up when the mood was low."

"No Kagome! That was you! Please come to your senses and refraim from this madness!" He shot back.

'Do you have any idea how you will destroy everything that the group put together?' He stood and took her hands and bore into her eyes.

"Sango, she was my best friend, through thick and thin. Always so loyal and kind. I'll remember her forever." She went on without giving notice to Miroku's pleas, "Regardless of how long I am gone, will she remember me?"

Miroku's arm's fell in defeat as he sighed to calm his rising tears, as they threatened to tip over the brim. His heavy body fell to the ground, as he dipped his head to mother earth.

'Are they're no gods to save this girl? Kami-sama! She needs your guidance!' He hiccuped.

Kagome placed a fragile, small hand on his shoulder, and bent to his level to speak to him.

"Shippou, Kilala they're so cute together! Please take good care of them for me! Kaede, she always helped me when I needed medicines, she taught me, molded me into what I am now. I loved her like my own Grandmother..." She stopped sharply.

Miroku rose his head from its place, to look at the girl. How he was regretting letting her go..How badly he wanted to stop her, tell her everything was going to be okay, tell her that all of this was a dream and that Inuyasha didn't mean it. Only...what if Inuyasha did mean it? How lucky that hanyou was to have such a treasured angel in his posession. Why throw it away? Why him?

'WHY ME? WHY EVERYTHING?' He felt his anger rise with each breath, 'Ungrateful half breed! How Kagome must feel!' He released the infuriated breath he hadn't realized he had been holding and snapped his head to meet her face, startling her. He seized her arms and shook her, speaking in a frustrated, but determined voice,

"Kagome..please, don't do this horrible deed to yourself. You will not only hurt the others and I, but you will kill Inuyasha!" He scowled slightly at the name, which didn't go unnoticed by the slight miko. In fact, the mere mention of his name made her heart cry out in pain, and anguish.

"And Inuyasha..the cheap half breed that couldn't keep his temper secluded, that always left me alone for Kikyou...who always got his way, and was never happy with any situation..." More tears flew down her face like a faucet, "But...I loved him in more ways than there are stars in the sky, blades of grass on the Earth, or water droplets in the oceans."

Miroku's heart paced, and his breath caught in his throat at her poetic moment until he regained his bearings and shook his head.

"Kagome--" He was stopped by a soft finger on his lips.

"Shhh...don't speak..Just do me a favor and take care of the guys for me, alright?" She smiled despite all of the despair.

"You don't have to do this!" He cried. She always smiled...Why couldn't she be sad like everybody else?

Kagome let out a soft scoff, "You dare go against the word of a lady? I want to, Miroku, it's best..I promise." She backed away and mouthed a soft 'goodbye' to him before descending backwards off the clifface.

Miroku dove to reach to her but to no avail, as he just snatched at cold air.

"KAGOME!" He cried loudly, but the last that he saw of her was her forest green skirt as she sailed to the spiked rocks, and the sparkling blue ocean, that seemed to laugh at his pain.

His fists beat repeatedly against the hard, rocky ground, drawing blood, as tears trailed quickly down his face onto the ground, soaking through the cracks in the dirt, and spotting his robe.

"Why? Why Kagome? And Why me?" he sniffled and choked on his own words. He looked over the edge,reluctantly, though almost unconciously, scared of what was going to be before him.

'She's not there. No trace...no body..nothing.' he tore his vision from the unseen. He didn't want to think of the the possibilities. The only thing that dug into his mind so unmercifully was the fact that Kagome was gone.

'She's gone..gone from us..gone from Inuyasha...gone from me.' He sobbed, "Kagome..goodbye.."

The amount of courage and ability that it would take to announce to the rest of the group was to unbearable to think about. What would they think? Would they blame him? How would they take it?

Especially Inuyasha...
