Short and angsty. Oh, fun. Sorry about that. Oh, and Crazy Hyper Lady and ShadeSpirit, you guessed it! Good job! BloodCherry, it will be finished for two reasons: one: I'm posting all but the last chapter today. Two: I already finished writing this story when I first posted the chapter. :)
Sango walked Kagome back to the well, crying as well. Miroku also had his arm around her, and he didn't even grope either of them. Shippo cried on Kagome's shoulder. "I'm sorry," whispered Kagome. "I…maybe I'll come back…later…but…I might not…" Her tears doubled. "I don't know if I can s-stand seeing...seeing…"
"It's okay, Kagome," came Sango's choked voice. "Goodbye."
Miroku kissed her cheek. "You're not alone," he said softly.
"Thank you," she whispered, sounding lifeless.
Shippo was the hardest to pull away, and once Kagome had jumped down the well he tried to follow her, but of course the well wouldn't open for him. Her three friends stood together, tears falling down two of their faces, pain in all of them, wishing Kagome and Inuyasha were still there.
