"Kouga, this is the place."

"Are you sure you want to do this Kagome? You really don't have to."

Kagome smiled trying to reassure Kouga. "I need to do this Kouga and sort things out for final."

Kouga looked at her doubtfully but didn't say anything else. He stopped the car pulling up next to a café.

"I will wait for you Kagome. I will make you happy one day." With that he quickly got out of the car and went to the back to open the hatch.

Kagome watched him pull out the folded wheel chair then turned away unable to shake off the depression and guilt of her mind. The place where she heart use to be seems to be replaced by an empty hole which sucked hope out of her daily.

Kagome sighed. One month it has being of treatments and visits by her worried mother and friends but not once did Inuyasha come to see her. Not once did he call – his voice fading like a distant memory. Kagome grimaced, pain shooting through her chest.

"Kagome? Are you alright?"

Kagome jumped startled at his voice. "Ye-yes Kouga, I-I am fine."

Kouga hesitated noting the expressing on the face of the girl in front of him. He can't help but notice just how much she had changed. This was not the Kagome he had met and love all these years. No, this was a different person with no spirit left.

Kouga carried Kagome out of the car and placed her on the wheel chair.

"I will be fine from here on Kouga." When he didn't move Kagome placed her hand on his arm. "Kouga, please give me one last chance to say goodbye."

Kouga looked away avoiding her eyes. "Do whatever you want Kagome, I will wait for you across the street."

She watched him go then headed inside the café on her wheel chair and waited for Inuyasha.

Everybody hurts they use to say. It is amazing how a small thing like love can ruin so many things even the small mysteries of life loses its appeal when love and hope dies.

Kagome sipped on her coffee as peace settled on her. The café was warm and cheerful filled with young couples who are yet to truly experience true young. Kagome could feel the young vibrant energy radiating in the air.

One month in the hospital had given her more then enough time to think things over. She didn't need to ask the doctors to know that there won't be much time left in her life. The expression on the faces of those who visits her kills a little part of herself inside when ever she sees them to a point until everything inside felt dead.

Kouga's proposal wasn't forgotten, in fact it weighted in her head like a heavy brick refusing to budge. She couldn't reject the proposal because she did not have the heart to break his heart again but agreeing to the marriage would not be fair to Kouga because part of her heart still remains with Inuyasha.

The memory the name brought along another series of coughing fits. Kagome gasped sucking in as much air as she could as she coughed into a napkin.

Kagome stared in horror at the napkin which was stained with blood. Please, she prayed desperately, give me more time, just a bit more.

The door opened alarming the bells attached to it. Kagome looked up staring at Inuyasha. His expression was hidden behind the cold pair of eyes but she thought for just a second, there had being a flicker of regret.

"Where's Kouga?" He spoke sitting down opposite Kagome.

Kagome smile weakly hiding the bloody napkin. "I made Kouga arrange this meeting for me. I wanted to see you Inuyasha."

"Why Kagome? Don't you hate me?"

"Why do you think I would hate you?"

Inuyasha stiffened loosening his composure. "I don't know Kagome, why don't you tell me."

Her eyes flashed with anger. "What is wrong with you Inuyasha? What is wrong with everything? I didn't come here to fight with you!"

"I don't know what you are talking about." The coldness dropped a notch in his voice.

Kagome clenched her teeth partly from anger and partly from the growing ache in her chest.

She took a deep breath in closing her eyes.

"When you came into my life Inuyasha, you gave me the hope I had never dare hoped for. My mother warned me not to love because of my heart condition so a avoid it but then I saw what happened with Rin and suddenly I was stripped of all my caution.

I started wondering and thinking that life would be a waste when you spent your days trying to avoiding loving and caring because of the fear hurting. You gave me that hope Inuyasha and because of you I was never happier in my entire life."

Kagome stared at him not daring to take her eyes of his. Just one sign she needed from him to prove that he still care only if it was just a little bit.

"Was our love strong Inuyasha or was it one sided the entire time? I have being thinking for a long time but I still can't find to answer to why it ended like this."

"I don't know why it ended like this either Kagome." Inuyasha's voice shook, the iciness melting off. He held Kagome's hand in his cradling the frail fingers.

"I can't tell you why Kagome because even I question it myself. But I can tell you this Kagome – it was not one sided. It never was and never will be."

Kagome looked into his loving face, the relief and love crashing down. This is enough, she thought. I can ask for nothing more.

"I will miss you Inuyasha." Kagome cried her body shaking and despair.

He was shaking as well, his sadness pouring out of the amber eyes. "I know I had promised to take care of you Kagome. I am sorry, I am so sorry of everything. It's all my fault."

Kagome placed her finger on his lips. "If was never your fault Inuyasha. Don't blame yourself and be happy. I am thankful for what you have given me both the love and the lavenders."

Inuyasha smiled holding her hand as she drowned in his adoring gaze. The background noises faded away and everything that had ever mattered to Kagome was sitting in front of her. The questions died from her lips. Out of everything she was uncertain about there was one thing she was sure of.

This would be their last meeting. All the love and pain would stay locked in their hearts but they will not remain together.

Kouga watched Inuyasha walk out of the café from across the street. He clenched his fist and made his way across the road.

As much as he hated this guy there was something he wanted to find out.

"Hey Inuyasha you bastard!" He yelled to the guy.

Inuyasha looked up and towards that voice. The guy who Kagome is with.

"What is wrong? Having trouble hanging on to your girl?" He smirked.

"Why do you shut your ugly mouth you idiot!" Kouga growled approaching Inuyasha.

Inuyasha sighed turning away "I am a busy man, what do you want?"

"What is with you and Kagome?"

Inuyasha grinned. "So I am right, you are having trouble with your girl."

Kouga gritted his teeth and shoved Inuyasha hard watching the guy stumble back, a startled expression on his face.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you want to pick a fight?" Inuyasha yelled at Kouga.

"Kagome risked her life to save you against that Naraku guy, she did it because she loved you but you worthless thing. All you cared about was your little bitch Kikyo who had betrayed you."

"Don't you dare talked about Kikyo like that you bastard!"

"Why not Inuyasha? Why do you care for Kikyo more then Kagome? I hate saying this but I know she loves you more then anything else in this world and I had believed you felt the same way. I couldn't believe that not once did you bother to visit her in the hospital or even care whether she was alive or not!"

Inuyasha launched himself at Kouga grabbing his throat.

"You have not right to talk about me Kouga, especially when you don't shit about anything."

Kouga gasped clutching Inuyasha's hand at his throat. "Tell me then Inuyasha, explain to me why."

Inuyasha paused then backed off from Kouga.

"I had no intention of hurting Kagome. I love her too much to do that."

Inuyasha chuckled. "Its amazing how you still manage to do something so perfectly well even when you had no intention of doing so in the first place."

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't you get it Kouga? Kikyo, Kagome, everything that ever happens is always my fault. I should have never gotten involved with Kagome in the first place but I was too foolish."

Kouga frowned. "Are you telling me that you have being purposely avoiding Kagome because you felt you didn't deserve her? But why Kikyo then? Why protect her?"

Inuyasha sighed taking in a deep breath. "You are wrong Kouga. Kagome will have a better life without me and the dangers I bring. She will recover and forget about me one day. I figured she will have a much better life with out me in it."

"What about - "

Inuyasha stiffened glaring at Kouga. "You are really stupid aren't you? Kagome has friends and family and many people who will love and care for her but Kikyo – who does she have? No one."

"I can't leave her just like that."

"So you can just leave Kagome like that then?"

"Bloody hell! Do you think I want to? Ever since we have being together, everyone seems to be trying their hardest to tare us apart but this time events leave no with not choice!"

Inuyasha gritted his teeth - frustration and anger flowing off him. "I won't forgive myself knowing that what I did to her was wrong but I it was the right thing to do"

"I believe it was right choice anyway." Inuyasha walked off leaving missing a girl on a wheel chair who had being around the corner the whole time – the girl who is crying in her little corner, crying over what she has just lost.
