Chapter 6

Inuyasha reached the site where the incident happened without thinking much. The words of Kikyou were still ringing in his ears. "Your a monster, you don't deseve to live."

He looked around and saw Tetsuiga stuck about halfway into a tree.

His immediate thoughts involved plunging it deep into his abdomen. He slowly walked to the tree, savoring what was sure to be his last moments of life. He removed the sword with little effort and just stared at the blade, mesmeized by its many nicks and scratches. He thought of how it might look stained with his blood. Slowly, Inuyasha fell to his knees and placed the tip of the sword just above his naval. He took a deep breath and prepared to end his life. He heard rustleing that was comming closer and saw Miroku, then Sango supporting a limping Kagome. When they saw him, they stopped ans Kagome limped halfway to Inuyasha and looked at him with disbaleiving eyes

Kagome: "Inuyasha, what are you doing?"

Inuyasha just stared at her, disbeileiving. Could it be true? Had Kagome really come back from the dead? And if so, why was she not attacking him like before? His mind was riddled with questions that he didnt dare ask.

Inuyasha: "Kagome, is that really you? I thought you were dead! How are you alive?"

Kagome: "We were attacked and I was almost killed. Miroku says that it was you that did it..."

Inuyasha gritted his teeth and looked at her with eyes that said 'im sorry'. Kagome looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Kagome: "Why Inuyasha? Why would you attack us like that? I thought we could trust you. You said you would never let anything hurt me, that you would keep me safe for as long as you lived...Inuyasha, why? How could you do that? Why? Were you after the jewel? Is that your intentions? Your no better than all the other demons!"

Kagome no longer looked hurt, but angry. Anger that the person she thought she loved could delibertly hurt her. Inuyasha took one final, tear filled look at her before he his gaze was back to the sword.

Inuyasha: "Kagome, I'm sorry..."

His grip on Tetsuiga increased, and he shoved it as deply as he could into himself. A million things went through is mind as the sword emerged out his back, right between his shoulde blades. The pain was white hot, worse than when he was stabbed before. "It must be my demon blood". his vision started to blur and he could hear a ringing in his ears that continued to get louder. He could hear yelling, but he couldnt make it out exept when Kagome shouted "INUYAHSA!". His head coninued to get fuzzy like someone threw a warm blanket over his mind. Inuyasha faded to unconciousness and fell to the ground with a faint thud, the blade still impaled through his abdomen and his spirit broken.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone watched in horror as Inuyasha stabbed himself.

Kagome: "INUYASHA!"

She ran to where the hanyou was lying, bleeding and dying. Miroku looked in utterly shock, Sango put her hand to her mouth and gasped, and Shippo buried his head in Sango's kimono. Kagome kneeled over Inuyasha, crying and regretting what she had told him. She knew it was her that pushed him over the edge.

Miroku: "lets get him to Kaede's so we can bury him."

He helped Kagome to her feet and picked up the limp body of Inuyasha. They head towards Kaede's hut with Sango helping a distraught Kagome along.
