Sorry about the wait! I know you guys must hate me for the cliffy.

Chapter 13: You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

'That was Kagome!' Inuyasha thought as he sped his pace up as much as possible.

He came to a sliding stop when he saw there in front of him the back of Akahito. In front of him wasn't Kagome thought. Inuyasha's body froze in dread. There was a cliff.

Akahito turned to face Inuyasha with a grin. He held the jewel shards on the chain in his hand.

"No.." Inuyasha's voice was barely a whisper. 'Kagome! No! This... this can't happen... this isn't happening.' Inuyasha thought. "Bastard where's Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled. Akahito laughed wickedly.

"She wouldn't cooperate." He said simply. Inuyasha growled.

"What have you done with her!"

"Why even ask when you know the answer. Before me is a cliff and beneath that cliff... is Kagome."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome voice rang through the forest. Hope flooded Inuyasha's body. She must have been hanging from the cliff, which means she didn't fall yet. Inuyasha glared at Akahito.

"She'll fall eventually... soon." Akahito said. "But for now I will fight you." Inuyasha's growl escalated. "Or maybe..." He trailed off. He moved towards the cliff and Inuyasha's eyes widened. Akahito pulled Kagome up and held her by the arm in the air. She looked at Inuyasha's pleadingly.

"Let her go!" Inuyasha yelled. He had made a mistake he was soon to realize.

"As you wish." Akahito laughed and dropped Kagome into the cliff. Inuyasha's eye's widened once more. He didn't waist a second. He ran forward and push past Akahito and jumped. He could see Kagome and as she fell he caught up to her form. Her eyes were closed. The cliff was a long way down and there was no way Inuyasha could clutch to the sides as he had hoped. He wrapped his arms around Kagome as they fell. She opened her eyes and looked at him. (Inuyasha and Kagome's theme start playing. It's called Unmei no Kaikokoro: Fate of Awakening Love. You can download it from www. loveofanime .com/inuyasha.htm. Not there are really no spaces between www. , loveofanime, .com/inuyasha.htm, but I had to put it or it wouldn't post on what are you doing?" Kagome asked. Tears fled her eyes. "Please save yourself..." She begged. Inuyasha's grasp tightened on her.

"I'll never leave you Kagome." He said. "Because... you're all I have to live for." Kagome cried harder into his chest. The speed of their fall quickened. Inuyasha's held Kagome as close as possible hoping to god his body would slow her fall, so she could live. 'Thing's weren't supposed to be this way.' Kagome thought. She felt a jolt suddenly. It was extremely painful and she heard Inuyasha's bones crack from the force and she had immobile arm. Then it was over for her. She could feel her soul dieing. She was dieing. "Ka... Kagome.." Inuyasha chocked out, along with some blood.

He painfully moved his body from underneath Kagome's. He rested her head gently on the ground. Her eyes were open and she looked at him. Blood sparred from her mouth as well.

"Inuyasha.. I'm sorry." Kagome said.

"Sorry? For what?" Inuyasha could only whisper above the pain.

"That I can't... help you find the jewel any more... that I can't be your jewel detector."

"What?" Inuyasha yelled. For the first time he could feel tears welling in his eyes, but they didn't fall. "Kagome... you were always more than a jewel detector to me." He said. Kagome coughed, accompanied by blood.

"Please don't forget about me Inuyasha.." She said.

"What! No? Don't start saying goodbye on me... Don't you dare!" Inuyasha picked Kagome up in his arms and pressed her against his chest. "Don't leave me Kagome... you can't leave me here alone..."

Flashback 1

"I'm sorry for being such a baby all the time Inuyasha. I'm sorry for all the sits. I'm so, so sorry for all the times I argued with you... just please don't leave me alone. I don't want to be alone." Tears were unstoppably coming from her eyes. "I'm scared to be alone, Inuyasha." Inuyasha didn't know what to day, so he didn't. He brought his face to hers and nuzzled her cheek with his. He could feel the wet tears rub off onto his skin. He brought his lips near her ear to speak.

"When did I say I'd leave?" He whispered. If Kagome could she would have giggled at the statement, she would have giggled because it made her happy to hear him say that. "I'll never leave your side Kagome."

Flashback 2 (A/N: This flashback happened in the hospital too, but I never put it in any of the chapters. It happened during the two weeks I skipped over.)

"Inuyasha." Kagome said softly. Inuyasha looked over at her from the window.

"Hmm?" He questioned.

"Are you afraid to be alone too?" She asked, recalling the first day she was brought there and how she told him how scared she was to be alone.

"Feh.. No!" Inuyasha said bravely.

End Flashbacks

"I lied!" Inuyasha yelled as he slowly shook Kagome.

"About what?" She asked quietly trying not to hurt his heart anymore.

"I'm.. I am afraid to be alone, Kagome. I'm afraid to loose you." He said quickly holding in the tears. He pulled her away so he could look into her eyes. She smiled at him. She brought her hand up to his face and rubbed his cheek.

"I'm sorry..." Were her last words. She smiled softly and her hand dropped as her eyes closed.

"No... no, Kagome... I... I need you so much." He held her tight and whimpered softly. Slowly a tear dropped from his eyes. "How could you... How could you do this to me... HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME HERE ALONE!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, hoping she would answer, but the answer never came. It was false hope. 'God take me away. I want to die so I can be with her... so I can be with Kagome... me one true love... with out her I am nothing.'

Inuyasha closed her eyes and slowly rocked Kagome. Inuyasha felt completely empty, alone. Like nothing was left for him, like dieing would be the only escape. So he sang. In a soft tone he sang the song he heard in Kagome's time, a song he wanted to sing for her. Now it was to late, but he sang it for her anyway. (This is the song I had Inuyasha here in the chapter with Kagome's aunt and uncle, but Inuyasha changes some of the words around.)

"And I'd give up forever to touch Kagome 'Cause I know that she feels me somehow She's the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life 'Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I can't fight the tears that are coming Or the moment of truth in your eyes When everything feels like the movies yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want Kagome to know who I am... And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want Kagome to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want Kagome to know who I am I just want her to know who I am I just want her to know who I am I just want Kagome to know who I am and I just want... you to live." Inuyasha finished the song and stared blankly into the night. "You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be..." He mumbled.

"Fool." Inuyasha heard the familiar voice and looked to where it was coming from.

The next chapter is posted right after this one.
