CHAPTER 2: THE DEATH OF LOVE

Kagome grunted straining her muscles, trying to pull herself out of the well. She had stayed an extra day and felt bad about it so as penitence, she stuffed her backpack with more ramen than she had ever brought before. Finally! Kagome plopped down to the ground and caught her breath for a moment. She paused. Something… something was not quite right. The air had a, a certain feel to it. And that feeling wasn't good…

"Inuyasha?" Kagome questioned. Usually he would be close by when she came back. Uneasy, She headed toward the small village where Kaede lived. Where was Inuyasha? As fantastic as her departure was, she had been hoping…okay, constantly daydreaming about her return. Now that they had openly declared their love for each other things would progress from there. Like, someday marriage, and little pups running around with adorably cute dog ears…

"Kagome?"

Kagome spun around. In front of her was Sango and Miroku…, their expressions were grim.

"What's wrong?" Fear laced Kagome's voice. "Is it Inuyasha?"

At that, Sango burst into tears and turn to Miroku and wept on his shoulder.

"Is Inuyasha hurt? Oh, that idiot! I'm going to kill him…"

Miroku put up a hand to hush Kagome. "Kagome," he said flatly. "Inuyasha's dead."

Kagome froze. Time stopped. Silence, absolute silence. The wind blew, ruffling her hair. Birds chirped from a distance. She lowered her head, her bangs hiding her face.

"I. don't. believe. you." But yet she did. She looked up to the heavens, cursing the day she was born. Silent tears streamed down her face.

"INUUUUUUUUUUUUUYAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSHHAAAAAAA!" Kagome wailed, all her anguish and torment spilled into a scream. "INNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSHHAAAAAAAAA!"

Far off into the western lands, a demon lord jerked his head at the sound of someone's rage filled cry of sheer agony and heartbreak. His tenseiga pulsed.

"Interesting…" He looked toward the direction of which the screams had come from. …but not worth this Sesshomaru's time…" And with that, he strode off into the hazy mist, a mere dark shadow against the landscape.
