A/N: Thank you all for reading and reviewing my story. F.Y.I., I made the first chapter short because it's easier to catch someone's attention. Well, enjoy.

Kagome continued forward towards her destination. She could feel that she was close to Inuyasha after traveling longer then half a mile. Her temper flaired and her face showed a sign of being pissed off and curiosity of how many sits she should string him. Though she only cared that he was all right. In the moonlight she was able to see the path very easily. The new moon was approximately two weeks away.

But taking a walk not only gave her time to think of whats happened through the weeks, but how long it has been since she's went home. Almost a two whole months. Though they haven't exactly went straight for Naraku. It was more of, look for signs of Naraku while getting jewel shards before he does. So they were practically zig-zagging all over the wide open area.

Kagome sniffed the air and smelled freshly laid dew over the grass in the area. She came into a small clearing where she saw a pond reflecting the almost full moon above. The pond strecthed to at least twenty feet long and a ten feet to go around to the other side. Standing tothe left of the pond stood Inuyasha looking at the moons reflection upon the water.

"Inuyasha, What the heck are you doing all the way out here?" Kagome almost yelled.

She waited a few moments and no reply. Inuyasha was just staring out towards the middle of the pond, watching the reflection of the moon.

"I said, what are you doing all the way out here?" Kagome said raising her voice this time. Kagome found this to be a little eery and it had almost started to freak her out.

Inuyasha turned his head slight looking at Kagome. "Oh... Kagome..." He said a little louder then a whisper.

"Inuyasha, whats wrong?" Kagome said losing her temper. She started walking forward and Inuyasha truned his head back towards the water. Kagome walked forward and stopped barely a few feet away from where Inuyasha was, staring at the same spot he was looking at .

A frog hopped off a lillipad sending ripples across the water, while crickets were heard chirping an almost faint distance away.

"Kagome... do you love me?" Inuyasha said.

Kagome was suprised at the question he had asked and her heart felt weightless. She was positive she wasn't dreaming because she had felt the trees, the bow, the ground, the air and more.

"Yes, I do." she said giving off a blush that made her cheeks completely red.

moments of silence passed as none of them spoke for a while.

"What if I had... A secret... A big secret that I haven't told you." Inuyasha said sounding serious.

"Even then I still would."

"What if this secret... Was really big..."

"Inuyasha, whatever it is... You can trust me."

There was long silent pause for quite some time. Inuyasha turned and looked at Kagome. He walked up to her and gave her a hug, holding her tight against him, resting his head on hers slightly. Kagome dropped the bow and quiver of arrows over her shoulder and they hit the grass softly behind her.

"Oh Inuyasha..." she said, hugging back.

They stayed like this for, what she wished was, an eternity. She smiled as she rested her head upon his chest, enjoying every last second of it. She had always dreamed of a moment like this but she never thought it would happen until after the jewel. Though she had never expected what happened next would actually happen.

She felt a sharp pain from the almost middle of her back, stopping at exactly the side of her back. She let out a loud scream as her side hurt with unimaginable pain. Her legs gave way as she felt them shake. She hit the ground on her right side, opposite of her opened wound. While rolling onto her back, Kagome used her hands to cover up the severely open cut. She cried and looked up Inuyasha, giving small gasps of breath.

Inuyasha smiled at her and had started to laugh. Kagome winced at the pain she had felt. She looked back up at where Inuyasha once was but instead, saw Naraku. She would've screamed, but Kagome was completely out of breath. A laugh echoed through her ears along with the ringing.

"Stupid naive wench." Naraku said giving her a hard kick on her side, getting blood on his feet.

Kagome let out another loud gasp and started crying harder then she already was.

"If you think that hurts, just wait. The poison I have injected into you is a very rare and hard batch to make. The plant is nearly extinct because of its massive use. Assasins used those to kill their opponent but there was also another, unneeded sideffect."

Naraku let out a laugh. Kagome Kept quiet, listining to what Naraku was saying, but kept crying and clenched her teeth letting out moans of pain.

"Wait until the symptoms kick in. Feeling of burning flesh, stiffness, pain, vomiting, and if made just right, some loss of memory and confusion. There's another symptom, but it won't happen anyway since you won't live. Enjoy your short, painful hour or so of your life... Because you won't be able to see the next sunrise if you keep bleeding like that. Tell you what, if you happen to live, go ahead and search for the plant for the antidote. And don't think of counting on Inuyasha tonight."

Naraku gave a pause and looked down at Kagome with a smile upon his face.

"He's with Kikyo."

Naraku laughed at Kagome as she had sad, suprised look on her face. Kagome closed her eyes and held her gut as she felt one of the symptoms Naraku meantioned. Her body felt like it was on fire, literally. She couldn't believe the massive pain that went all over her body.

Kagome squirmed and let out small screams. Her body burned but her flesh didn't blister up at the intense heat she felt. Naraku let out another laugh as he turned around and walked away, letting Kagome die a slow miserable death.

Kagome had felt this pain, for what seemed like, forever. But she knew it hadn't even been longer then three minutes. She wanted to kill herself now and end this torture. She cried and cried as those words echoed through her mind.

"He's with Kikyo."

Kagome let in short, shaky breaths of air. She laid onto her right side, looking at the pond that was ten feet out where she laid. Kagome felt her stomach rise and threw up. It burned her throat immensly and after a few seconds she threw up even more.

Blood stained her shirt and had started to stain her pants. She lifted her hand and wiped her right cheek of the vomit. Her body was shaking from the pain she felt. She slowly pushed herself up with her wobbly arms and felt dizzy as soon as she stood. The loss of blood made her feel sick and weak, but she tried with all her might to walk. with her vision was blurry, it was hard to see. But she only needed a tree to rest her weight onto.

Very unluckily, her first step made her trip on the bow she had laid down and plop head first onto the ground. She knew she was panicking, her heart raced knowing she was gonna die. She felt her side burn with pain as soon as she hit the ground. Her breaths became very shaky at the pain she was feeling. Kagome looked behind her and saw the small puddle of blood from where she was laying before she got up and tripped.

She was losing blood fast and there was no one around for a long ways. She wished and hoped someone, anyone would find her. She rolled over and looked into the sky. Tears rolled off her eyes to the back of her dirt matted hair.She stared at the star-skewed sky and slowly let unconciousness consume her. Sad that she couldn't even say goodbye to Inuyasha.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. If you would like them longer, tell me and I'll try. Umm... Not much to say but I hope I get reviews. Tell a friend about my story. That's how you can get me to update. Plus, I'm gonna move this story to rated M as soon as I post chapter three or four.
