A/N: well good-bye to the silent emotions story, I'm going to miss it. This will be the last chapter and probably the longest. For all of you who were hoping for a sanmir mentioning, SORRY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu.
Chapter 4: Peace Forever (I bet you're thinking one of two things, either oh my God Kikyo dies, or oh my God she finally feels at peace with Sesshomaru and they live happily ever after, well you know my style of stories).
They ran forever it seemed and then fell asleep in the vast field after they had slept together.
She woke up smiling, the previous night had been amazingly pure bliss.
She breathed a little more quickly and he woke up to kiss the top of her head.
He was laying on his back, and she was laying on his chest, breathing in his scent, the warmth she had always sensed when no one else could.
His kimono covered them and she rolled over a little to collect her clothing.
She tied up her hair. The whole time she got dressed, he had been watching her, smiling.
She walked over and kissed him on the cheek, then began walking away. He pulled her down and closed his eyes.
"Do you want to sleep longer?" she closed her eyes too.
"I just want to stay with you, just like this, forever," he whispered.
"You've never said anything like that to me," she sighed. The silent emotions were so perfect, but she needed to hear it.
He stood up and grabbed his clothing. He dressed and they left to go wherever life took them.
Meanwhile...
Her soul collectors were having trouble finding her, and finding souls so much more quickly.
She burned through so much energy lately.
They came to the field only to see they had just missed her.
Eventually many soul collectors gave up and abandoned her to fend for herself.
There were some, however, that knew exactly where they would get a soul.
She was nearby and they traveled as quickly as possible to catch her off guard.
They came behind the group and she was behind, tying her shoelace.
"No don't stop for me, I'll catch up," Kagome smiled and waved towards Inuyasha.
He kept walking but still kept an eye on her.
The soul collector came behind her and withdrew her soul.
She shrieked moments before feeling the pull of her soul.
Inuyasha turned and when he saw her soul leaving her body he ran, she wasn't far away.
He got to her as the soul was completely gone and the soul collector tried leaving but Inuyasha sliced it with his claws.
Her soul drifted for a moment.
He looked down at Kagome and her face was so pale.
The soul finally went back into her body and she stood up.
"Inuyasha, what was that, what happened?"
"Kikyo," he started.
"INUYASHA! I'M KAGOME!"
"No I mean, it was Kikyo's soul collector," he stared at where the soul collector had once been.
"Oh..." Kagome looked away.
More soul collectors showed up but Inuyasha killed them.
"Let's find Kikyo and settle this," he yelled back at the others and told them not to leave.
He bent down and signaled for Kagome to get on his back, which she did.
Inuyasha ran through the forest to see where Kikyo was, he smelled for Sesshomaru and soon found them.
They came up behind them.
"Hey dog-face," Inuyasha yelled.
Sesshomaru turned to look at his half-brother.
Kikyo turned as well but she wasn't smiling, she looked a little more pale than usual.
She grabbed Sesshomaru's shirt sleeve and stumbled.
He caught her but looked to Inuyasha questioningly.
"She is burning through her souls too quickly, she'll die soon."
"No, she'll be fine, they always come back with more souls." Sesshomaru smiled a weak smile at her.
A soul collector floated nearby but with no soul at hand.
"Sesshomaru, do you truly love me?" Kikyo smiled genuinely.
He almost answered, but she cut him off, for some reason no one could understand.
"You gave me peace when I had lost all hope for it, thank you."
His eyes blurred with tears as he knelt down and held her close.
"You made me smile." Sesshomaru said. Kikyo put her hand up to his face and poked him in the stomach jokingly.
Her head dropped back and her hand fell from his face.
Sesshomaru's tears fell freely and he couldn't stop crying now, he sniffled and then cried out to the sky.
Inuyasha and Kagome had nothing to say, this was obviously a moment where there was nothing to say and nothing to do.
They turned to leave.
"Kill me brother," Sesshomaru had picked up Kikyo's body and was begging Inuyasha with his eyes.
"Why?"
"I do not want to live without her."
"Sesshomaru, you have Rin and Jaken to look after," Kagome walked up beside him.
"We'll come with you to bury her," Inuyasha led the way and Kagome nudged Sesshomaru's arm lovingly.
They buried her and Sesshomaru said a few things.
"She had a beautiful laugh, and was always smiling. She could always make me smile. I hope that she will be with me in spirit. I needed her, and I didn't even see it."
"All she wanted was to know what I felt, she knew, but she wanted to hear me say it. There were so many moments, and I knew what I wanted to say, but I couldn't, I thought we had forever. I love you Kikyo."
The wind blew by and he breathed in deeply.
Kagome was getting very teary so Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and nodded in reverence towards Sesshomaru.
Inuyasha ran off and whispered I love you to Kagome.
"I know," she looked up and smiled, tears still threatening to fall.
The silent emotions wouldn't be there with Kagome and him, never, not anymore, they didn't have forever, one day she would have to go home, and he would be left alone again.
