Illusion
The others just watched as Inu-Yasha lay in the grass. He looked as if he'd given up.
Kagome raced into the well house. Tears streamed down her face. She wasn't sure why but the sorrow in the well house overpowered her other senses. Kagome closed her eyes and exhaled slowly trying to sift through the emotion trapped within. She opened her eyes to an illusion.
Everything blurred. Grass began to overtake the wooden floor. Soft moonlight streamed down from the dark wooden ceiling illuminating a red blur. Kagome carefully stepped into the illusion. Her wooden walls faded as she stepped into a time that was neither hers nor theirs, it was a time unto itself in which the normal flow of time did not exist.
Kagome knelt down next to the red blur. As she reached her hand out to him she thought she heard the angels sing their song and in that moment it sounded touched her deeper than she could have ever imagined. His black hair lay limp across his shoulders.
"Inu-Yasha…" She whispered.
He turned his head up to her.
Kagome stared in shock. His face was skeletal.
Kagome couldn't help the tears as he reached his bony hand up to her face.
Kagome eased her soft fingers through his silky dark hair.
"Am I dead?" He asked without a voice. "Are you my angel?"
