Comfort From the Angel of Suicide

Chapter 3: Final Decision and New Hope

Kagome lowered them both slowly onto the earth beneath them. Firmly on the ground Kagome just observed Inuyasha as he relieved the world he just saw in his head. Once satisfied that what he saw was real he turned to the Angel guiding him.

"Why? Why haven't seen this beauty before? Where was it all?"

Chuckling a little Kagome observed him in amusement before answering. "You fool. It has always been there. When you were with your mother you saw this same beauty easily. But once she died... that world slowly disintegrated from your eyes. And when Kikyo came into your life you only concentrated on her not even bothering to look at the landscape around her. Ignorant minds don't see the beauty, and you, sir, are very ignorant indeed."

Fuming at that last comment Inuyasha yelled, "Ignorant my ass! I saw this beauty with Kikyo she just took it with her when she died..." Those last words were barely above a whisper because the hanyo just realized how... ignorant... he sounded. That only pissed him off more. Kagome's laughter luckily pulled him out of his thoughts.

Laughing like no tomorrow, the Angel was clutching her side and tears were coming out of her eyes. "HAHAHA! Well! Hehe... At least- hehehe you've realized your ignorance!" Stopping only to start cracking up uncontrollably.

Looking at the girl in amazement, shocked that she could have so much life, considering her situation. Crossing his arms across his chest he observed her with admiration.

Calming down Kagome began to explain herself while wiping tears from her eyes. "Sorry! I read your thoughts at it just amused me, but I have trouble controlling my laughter so..." Taking a breath she became a little more serious so she could regain control of herself.

"What happened to you is you shut out the world when Kikyo died, giving up hope, and losing faith. Because of that you wanted to commit suicide. And your not the only one, hundreds, possibly thousands, did the same thing. All going to hell. All hurting the ones they left behind who loved them very, very much." A clouded look passed off her eyes as Kagome remembered the friends and families, of the ones she couldn't save, suffer.

Unsure of what to do Inuyasha step towards her and wrapped her in an awkward hug. This small action caused Kagome to cry the tears she's been holding in for so long.

After standing there for a few minutes, wrapped in each others arms, Kagome finally pulled away rubbing away her tears, sniffing.

"Heh... thank you. Me coming to help you and you end up helping me. And you might wonder why the previous people Ive helped did not see me do this. Well, you're different somehow. I feel like I could tell you anything and it wouldn't change the way you think about me."

A grateful smile graced her face making Inuyasha feel a little weak in the knees. He felt this feeling before but never this strong. 'Aw hell no.' "Well... why would I change my thoughts about you? You are only a human." He turned away from her crossing his arms again.

Kagome put her hands on her hip offensively, "Well, you're only a hanyo. So why should my thoughts change about you?"

Inuyasha looked at Kagome curiously, "What do you think about me?" Only now, after he asked the question, Inuyasha's not quite sure he wants an answer.

Placing a hand on her chin she acted as if she was in deep thought. Even though Kagome knew her response she wanted to see him squirm. Satisfied she finally gave an answer. "I think, no, I know that you are a kind person who has not been given the respect you deserve. You have painful memories that have hardened your heart, making you afraid to love. But deep down your generous... sometimes. Caring, strong, unafraid of most things, and comforting."

The hanyo in question looked shocked with her answer, surprised that someone would actually give him a compliment like that. Well... besides the fear thing, but it was as if she could relate to him. 'Where did this woman come from?' But unlike before, the answer was not answered.

Clapping her hands together, getting Inuyasha's attention, Kagome continued. "Okay, now that I have complimented you, cried on your shoulder, and showed you the wonders of this land, I believe it's time to show you what you can do to make this land even better."

He felt her hand wrap around his as he, once again, was up in the air gazing at the land beneath him and the Angel guiding him. They were going at a speed quicker then before. So fast that even with his enhanced hearing his could barely catch the, "Sorry, no song this time." Before they landed.

Looking around Inuyasha realized that he had been lead to a different field on the out skirts of another village. Before walking forward he was pulled back by Kagome, who looked rushed. "Inuyasha, you may not remember your father but he left something very important in your hands. Well, in your eye to be more specific."

Before he could ask 'what in the seven hells was she talking about,' Kagome started chanting which resulted a black pearl to come out of his eye. 'After that I expected pain.'

Relieved Kagome gave a quick answer, "The incantation I used made the process painless with no side effects. Now if you excuse me I will be back. Just don't step in the portal."

"What por-"

Before he could finish a black obis appeared, a few feet off the ground, where Kagome threw the stone. Still shocked he barely noticed Kagome stepping into the portal herself.

"What the hell?" After standing there for a few minutes Kagome popped back through the portal with a foreign object.

Sighing with satisfaction, Kagome held out a sword out to Inuyasha. "This, my friend, is the sword your father made for you with his fang: The Tetsusaiga. It will prove to be very useful very soon." A mischievous look crossed her face.

Raising an eyebrow, "What in the hell-"

Inuyasha was once again cut off, but with a high pitched scream. Looking back at Kagome wondering what's going on.

She simply pointed in the direction of the village and said, "How convenient! You have a big pointy sword and there are demon running amok in a village. What ever shall you do?"

Glancing down at the shabby worm sword and listening to the screams Inuyasha only said, "Damn it all to hell," before running to the village.

All the demons were crowed together, ready to pounce at the scattering humans, only to be stopped be, in their words, a 'puny man.'

"Ahhhhhhhh... hahaHA... fresh meat." The demon lunged at Inuyasha, wanting blood.

Unsure that the sword will be able to hold its own, Inuyasha hesitated. But with the large ego of his, a grin spread across his face as he charged head on, onto the mass of demons. Right before contact was made, with sword to skin, the once puny sword transformed into a larger form, best described as a huge fang. If possible the grin on his face became bigger as he slashed at all the demons. None survived.

Just as the sword deformed, cheers erupted from behind him. Turning Inuyasha saw the, once fleeing villagers, now coming towards him with praises.

"Thank you young man for saving this village we are blessed." "You saved us! A feast in his honor." "Celebrate!" "Stay in my humble hut so you can rest." And so on and so forth.

When the chatter went down a notch, Inuyasha spoke up, "Uhhhh... thank you for... umm... Being kind to me, but I have other business to attend to." And Inuyasha ran as if demons were snapping at his heals. Reaching the field he ran up to Kagome. "What... the HELL were you doing? Setting me to play the hero?"

An unreadable expression was on her face when she answered. "What I just... guided you to do was your calling. You see everyone born has a purpose. Those who commit suicide didn't even bother to find their true purpose, another reason they gave up hope. You just found yours.

"You have compassion. Don't deny it, you do. And you have unrelenting strength. Both needed for protecting others. Not only you give them another day to live, but you also give them hope that someone actually does care about weather they live or die. Not personally, but in general. Plus, they will give you free food." Laughing, obviously having observed the villagers reaction after Inuyasha killed the demons.

Ignoring Kagome's laughing, Inuyasha thought about what she said. 'I get to fight, rid the world of those stupid, pathetic demons, and in return I won't be treated badly by the humans. Unless they start to think that I only stopped the demon so I could kill them instead. Damn it!'

Noticing Inuyasha's conflict in his mind Kagome decided to pull him out. Opening her mouth wide she said, very loudly, "Okay my job here is done. I'll take my leave now!"

Coming to almost immediately, "WHAT? WAIT! You can't go! You still ne-"

"Oh, no I don't. Me being here myself should be enough proof that Angel's exist, and if you have faith then you already answered your question on God's existence, you don't need me to tell you. You have found your purpose. You have seen the beauty of this land and sea. Yes, you lost your lover, but in memory of her, live. What else could you want?"

Taking her eye into his, pulling her close a short and powerful answer was said, "You."

Her eye widened, and the softened. Kagome wrapped her hands Inuyasha's head and pulled him in for a soft but loving kiss. Pulling away she looking into Inuyasha's eyes. "I have to go. Other people need me. But I am not always needed. I'll come back. And when Im gone Ill come in your dreams and Ill always be in your memories. Live a good life and work hard into heaven. That's all I ask of you."

Still holding her tightly he replied, "I will. Until the day I die. And in return I ask you to wait for me."

Releasing herself from his grasp, an unseen force began to lift Kagome upward. Her body appearance slowly becoming fainter. "Ill wait for you. Forever." And with that Kagome disappeared.

Inuyasha, with a small relieved smile, turned back to his tree where he would wait until morning to start his destiny. To wait until the day he steps into God's kingdom and Kagome's arms.

With Kagome

A teenage girl walked down a golden hall in the holy temple. When reaching the center she started to kneel down before a hand stopped her.

"You have done well Kagome. We will be expecting him in a few hundred years. He is, after all, a half demon. Will you be all right, waiting that long?"

Looking back into the concerned eyes, Kagome answered, "I'll be all right. I still have time to visit him in between missions. Speaking of missions..."

Chuckling, the old man replied, "My you are in a helpful mood. All right, her name is Elizabeth O' Ryan. She is located in Scotland. She had a miscarriage and is no longer able to give birth. You must stop her. She already has a place here. Let her take that place."

"Of course. I shall return." Kagome, ready to depart, before she was held back, like earlier.

"Just one question before you go. Why didn't you tell the young man that his lover resigns in hell?" The man already knew this answer but he wanted to make sure the Angel knew it as well.

A sad smile appeared with the answer. "Because I don't want to see him in any more pain. I want him to live."

And with that Kagome left for Scotland. Leaving the old man to ponder how this couple, so in love after a short time, would turn out.

The End

IT'S COMPLETED! If your wondering why Kikyo is in hell 1) I don't like her. 2) She cheated on Inuyasha with Naraku. But he killed her because he thought she betrayed him. (sighs) So much betrayal. And there is no Elizabeth O' Ryan in Scotland. Just someone I made up. And I don't own Scotland! I'm not even Scottish.

And review so I know if the ending was good or not!
