AN: This story isn't happily ever after... well this one shot isn't... review if you want it to become a story... and please just review... I DONT OWN INUYASHA..


It was cold, Kagome thought absently, since when had it been so cold. Kagome stumbled through the snow that was so solid, so pure, and so perfect. Kagome sighed, if only she could be perfect. Inuyasha would love her. She let out a bitter laugh, but that didn't matter he had Kikyou. And, Kikyou was all he would ever need. Kagome walked to the edge of the valley where a cliff layed.

How she longed to fall, to become nothing. Tears flooded the depressed miko's eyes. Kagome stood there not caring, as the icy wind blew by her stinging her face. Numb... What had she left to live for? Shippou had Kikyou and Inuyasha, and Sango had Miroku. Kagome twirled in the chilly air, uncaringly.

Sango was her friend, she would be devestated if Kagome were to fall. Kagome smiled emptily remembering the late nights in Kaede's cabin they would stay up chatting about their crushes on Inuyasha and Miroku. The days they'd go to the hot springs and relax. Sango would be there for her when ever Inuyasha ran away to be with Kikyou.

Kikyou... Kagome frowned. How could someone so perfect, have a reincarnation so imperfect? Kikyou was the sole owner of Inuyasha, and Kagome's sole tormenter. Kagome smiled, but maybe that's why she's here... To die. That is her purpose in this era. To be nothing left... nothing but a memory.

"Mama..."Kagome mumbled. Her mother would be distraught. How could Kagome allow her mother to go on not knowing if she had died or lived? Kagome glanced up at the sky fresh tears spilling down her face. This one time she would do it for herself. Just this once...


Miroku sighed. His wife must be frantic looking for Kagome. Miroku already knew she had to be dead. Kikyou now had her full soul there was no other way than for Kagome to have died. A voice of hope whispered, she could have wished it. Miroku listened knowing that the voice could indeed be true. Maybe Kagome excepted the news better than Sango had said. Miroku remembered the jewl now rested within Kagome once again.

"Yes, that's it." Miroku whispered to himself. Kagome wanted Inuyasha and Kikyou to be happy so she wish for Kikyou to have a new soul. Either that or be alive. But, wait... Miroku's chest fell. A reincarnation and an incarnation cannot be alive in the same time... Can they?

Miroku searched his memory. He did not remember it ever being stated but being believed. For never once had there been a chance to check the theory and see if it was correct or not. Miroku looked out of his hut.

The world was covered in a blanket of white. It seemed so perfect... so perfect... yet everything was wrong.


"Kagome!" Sango yelled trying to find her friend. It was her fault. She told Kagome about Kikyou and Inuyasha becoming mates. Sango grimaced, she also told Kagome about Shippou being adopted by them.

"Kagome! Where are you?" Sango was getting desperate it was so cold out. She had to have freezed to death by now. Sango refused to let that come true. Kagome had so much to live for... right? Sango glanced around at the cold landscape. It was as if the world was in mourning with Kagome. Sango had to find her she would never forget the look on Kagome's face when she found out the news...

"Sango." She said smiling, "I'm going to do it I'm going to tell Inuyasha, I love him."

Sango looked away from the smiling Kagome. How could she tell her friend something that would break her heart.

"Sango?" Kagome spoke smile slipping away, "What is it?"

Sango turn away from the hopeful Kagome, "Kagome, I'm so sorry." Sango looked back at her friend, "But, Inuyasha and Kikyou are mates."

Nothing could have prepared her from the look on Kagome's face. There was nothing. Not even sorrow or anger. Kagome's face look like one of those old china doll she talked about. Pale and expressionless.

Sango regreted ever thinking that Kagome had need some time alone to digest the situation. Sango had come back searching for her beloved friend. Finding no one she began to worry. She started questioning everyone in the area. Sango quickened her pace seeing fresh footprints in the snow.

She found Kagome there standing so perfect. Looking almost like and angel. "Kagome!" Sango called smiling relieved to see her friend unharmed. Kagome ignored her though, seemingly off in her own world. Walking close to the edge of the cliff... Dangerously close. Kagome seemed to be singing softly saying one word over and over again.

"Imperfect... imperfect..."

Sango stood there unmoblie. How could her friend have been destroyed this much?

"Curse you Inuyasha," The demon slayer scowled, it was all his fault. She would make him pay. Pay for what he did to Kagome, what he did to their group.

"Kagome... NO!" Sango screamed seeing her friend seemingly started tiltering over the edge. Kagome turned hearing Sango's voice and seeing her for what seemed the first time. Kagome smiled brokenly, breaking Sango's heart.

Sango raced forward, screaming Kagome's name. Kagome just shook her head and leaned back. Starting to fall. Sango grabbed her wrist, preventing her from falling to the jagged rocks below. Sango stared into Kagome's empty eyes that seemed to be pleading with her. "I won't let go." Sango said her voice quivering.

"Please." Kagome spoke softly.

She looked down into Kagome's face. Her eyes were blood shot, her face was caked in tears. Sango had never seen someone look so dead. Yet supposedly exist in life. She could not make her friend live one when she truly had nothing to live for. Me... Sango thought... live for me. But, Sango knew she would be selfish. That if Kagome stayed here in this world that she would be destroyed, it would be worse than death for her. Sango felt tears flood her eyes.

"I love you, my perfect sister."

Kagome whispered, "Sango." Her eyes so blank and haunted...

Sango swallowed, closing her eyes. She let Kagome fall...
