Warning! Ok, people! This chapter is where she gets hit… If you think Kagome should live, go to Chapter 4b…
-Chapter 4a: And down they fall…-
"No! Kagome!" Sango came tearing out of the bushes towards her best friend. Kikyou looked at her and signaled her soul collectors to get her.
They zoomed out of the bushes and trees and tangled Sango there to watch her best friend die.
The arrow found its target. It hit Kagome so hard the aura blasted her back. She landed in a jumbled heap. Her soul started to float up, up and away. Kikyou's favorite soul collector went and grabbed, with difficultly, Kagome's soul. It flew back to Kikyou who took it from the collector.
Holding it close to her heart, all the other souls flew up and imploded. Kikyou absorbed Kagome's soul and screamed. All the clay shattered off her new real skin and she collapsed.
The soul collectors that bound Sango in mid-air released her and flew to Kikyou. Sango collapsed like Kikyou did and put her face in her hands.
'I let her die.' Sango wept. She picked up Kagome's body and slowly making her way back to the village for burial. She never even saw Kikyou leave.
-At the village-
Sango let out silent tears. Miroku was sitting outside Kaede's hut.
"So, you finally return?" Miroku said cheerfully. Then he spotted Kagome's limp body and Sango's tears. He put 2 and 2 together and took Kagome's body from her best friend's bloody hands. Miroku took the corpse into Kaede's hut and set it on a mat. He went back out and stopped a few steps away from Sango. She looked up.
"Kagome gave herself up for Inuyasha's love!" Sango still had tears rolling freely down her pink cheeks. Miroku opened his mouth to say something but though better of it. The look on Sango's face was horrifying. She walked the difference between them and put her head on Miroku's shoulder. All he could do is put his arms around her shoulders.
"It'll be ok…" Miroku said calmly. "I'm sure it will be…"
THE END

Omg… I'm crying right now… I only made it this sad because my Grandma's sick and not doing well… I didn't quite finish it for all you daydreamers out there…
