The next day InuYasha went back to feudal Japan to break the news on the others. He jumped out of the well to see Sango, Miroku, and Shippo sitting on the edge of the BoneEaters well, all with crossed arms. "Where have you been?" Shippo asked him curiously. "Or rather what took ya so long? You said you were going to be back yesterday night! You're a day late! Mind explaining?" Shippo said, mimicking what InuYasha usually did every time Kagome was late...pretty much every time she came back. The group burst into laughter at Shippo's little imitation but InuYasha just stared and grumbled.

"Oh lighten up InuYasha, it was only a little joke" Miroku said, walking over and clapping him on the back. InuYasha then walked over to a rock and sat down, telling everyone else to do the same. "I've got to tell you something really important" InuYasha said to them with a serious face. "Go ahead then, tell us" Miroku told him, looking concerned at his sudden change of attitude.

"Well when I went back to get Kagome...she told me she had a disease...it could kill her, something called Leukimia" he said slowly, not wanting to hear himself say it let alone have to explain it to 3 other people. Shippo just stared, then showed exactly how little he was capable of understanding. "You're worried about that? Kagome's fought off demons before and you're worried that she can't beat this "Loo-kee-mee-ah?" Shippo said to him as though close to laughter.

"It's a sickness you idiot and yeah i'm worried that she might not make it! She could die if it meens anything to you!" InuYasha practically yelled at him, jumping off the rock and walking to the woods, his head bowed in a crying position but no tears would fall.

"InuYasha that's enough! Shippo didn't know what you meant! He thought that you were over reacting and that Kagome could take care of herself! He's just a kid he didn't understand what's happening!" Sango yelled in Shippo's defence. Without looking back InuYasha said "neither do I" and kept walking to the forest for some alone time. They all just stared in awe, none of them had ever seen InuYasha act so sad before, usually he was pretty good at covering up his emotions. In fact, they supposed not even Kagome had seen him act so upset before...

"Doctor, we're losing her!" the nurse called as the operation went on, then one note filled the air...it was over. She was gone. They bowed their heads for a moment, as if to cry. But they had seen so many come and go that they couldn't, they seemed almost amune to the feeling of tears. But this girl was only young, only about 17 years old, maybe not even. The doctor suddenly straightened up again. "Well if you'll excuse me i've got to go and share the bad news".

InuYasha, Souta, Mrs.Higurashi and Kagome's grandfather were all sitting in the waiting room, Souta falling asleep on InuYasha and Gramps falling asleep on Souta. They were almost totally out of it until they heard footsteps aprouching. Souta sat up, waiting for the news and InuYasha's ears falttened to his head as if dreading the news.

The doctor stopped in the middle of the room and bowed his head in respect of their loss. "I'm sorry" he began "but we lost her. We had no chance of bringing her back...everything was totally shut down" he said. "I'm sorry, id their anything I can do to make this time easier for you?" he asked. "No" Mrs. Higurashi said, wiping away the first fallen tear.

InuYasha couldn't believe his ears...did he hear right or was Kagome really...was she really dead? "try harder" he whispered, expecting them to do something more. "What was that?" the doctor asked. "I said TRY HARDER" InuYasha screamed thoughout the hospital. "YOU DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH! YOU COULD HAVE SAVED HER BUT YOU'RE TOO FRIGGEN LAZY! TRY HARDER!" he yelled, throwing over the table beside him and smashing it to bits.

"Sir please" the doctor said to him, getting a bit closer to grab his shoulder. "don't touch me" InuYasha muttered through gritted teeth, leaving the hospital and heading for the bone eaters well.

Mrs. Higurashi just sat with her head in her hands, crying harder then she had ever cried before, holding her son in her arms tighter then ever. She hugged her son and father and then stood up. "Come on. We have to go" she said walking away as quickly as possible.

Sango, Miroku and Shippo were in Kaede's village, not out of eye sight of the well, waiting for InuYasha to return with news about Kagome. They decided that it was getting late and they should at least lay down under the tree besdie the weel as they waited. About an hour later, when Shippo was almost asleep they heard InuYasha jump through the well and loud sobs errupt in the silence of the night. He ignored them and ran by, sniffling and wiping away the hot tears that burned down his cheeks.

"What was that all about?" Sango wondered aloud. "I don't know but it can't be good" Miroku answered, getting to his feet and brushing off his kimono. "Where are you going?" Sango asked, wonderingly. "To see what's wrong with InuYasha...or Kagome" he answered, already halfway between the distance of where they sat and where InuYasha had left off to. He leaned on a tree and watched as he saw InuYasha punching a tree oposite him. The tree was about ready to collapse when he picked it up and threw it the distance of a football field.

Miroku was about to ask what was wrong when a loud and angry yell escaped InuYasha. "WHY! WHY HER? WHY DID SHE HAVE TO GO! IT WASN'T RIGHT! IT'S NEVER RIGHT!" then he started to mutter things Miroku could only just pick up. "it's my fault, it's all my fault. I wasn't there for her for so long and it's my fault she died...IT'S ALL MY FAULT!" InuYasha yelled and he used WindScar on about half of the forest.

"What was your fault?" Miroku interupted his moment of upburst. "Everything" InuYasha mutterred. "And what happened?" Miroku asked, hoping he would just cut to the case but ready to be here for him if he was in need of comfort, which indeed it looked like he was. "She died Miroku" InuYasha told him, stabbing him in ther heart. Stabbing both of them, right in the heart...right where it hurt the most...where the wound really mattered...where it made a difference.

"She died and it's all my fault! I wasn't there! I was never by her side! If I was I could have done something! I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING!" InuYasha yelled. "And what could you have possibly done?" Miroku asked, becoming unable to control his temper at a time like this. "I could have helped cure her! I could have! I know how! But I was never there! And...she never loved me" InuYasha said, sounding like a nut case. "She never loved me..." InuYasha said.

"Yes she did are you that blind InuYasha? You're all she ever loved!" Miroku told him, becoming even angrier that he had to put up with someone so stupid. "No! No! I saw her kissing him! Kissing someone that wasn't me! He wasn't worthy of her Miroku! She needed better!...Good thing she never loved me because I didn't deserve her anyway...never...Never deserved someone as good as her..." InuYasha said. "NEVER DID I EVER DESERVE HER LOVE! I NEVER DID" he yelled to the sky.

Miroku just stared. He could have never imagined someone as tough as InuYasha braking down this hard. Never. "Ow" InuYasha said, suddenly clutching his chest. "Oh god! OH GOD! WHY!" he yelled, still clutching his chest. "AH!" he yelled as the pain in his chest became stronger and he was overcome with nothing but pain. He collaped, fell straight to the ground, a limp figure. What was happening? Was this death? He hoped it was death...maybe it would make him feel better...maybe it would make him feel like something he wasn't...an angel.

well that's chapter three! I'm really sorry that it took so long so I tried to make it extra good! More chapters to come. Is this really the end of Kagome? What's happening to InuYasha? How will the group deal? Find out in Chapter Four coming soon!
