Then they came together in a kiss as they shared all the love and passion that they were never before able to show each other.

Over the next few weeks Inuyasha and Kagome got much closer to each other than either one of them has ever been with anyone else before; they never left each other's sides. They kissed, hugged, and said 'I love you' every chance they got.

Inuyasha was sitting on his favourite branch of the Goshinboku looking at the full moon. 'How am I supposed to tell her?' He sighed heavily, "I love her, but…I just don't know how to tell her I want her to be my mate." He finally fell asleep with one last thought, 'I going to tell her tomorrow morning.'

When he woke the next morning, he felt a deep ache in his heart. "Oh god…no…" He run to Kaede's hut and went straight to Kagome. He knelt down beside her and began to call her name over and over again as he tried to shake her awake. After several pain-staking minutes he finally stopped, now convinced that she wasn't going to wake up.

He sat there for nearly an hour crying, before he stood, picked up Kagome's body and ran to the Bone Eater's Well. His fears of not being able to return to Kagome's time were soon vanquished as he looked up and saw the old wood of the well house.

As soon as he got there he ran to the house and up to Kagome's room. He layed her on the soft pink of the bed and promised her, "I need to get the last two jewel shards from Kouga," he didn't realize that heartbreakingly tears poured silently down his deeply saddened face, "as soon as I get them I'll come back for you…..I promise. I love you." Just before he turned to leave, he bent over and kissed her deathly cold lips with such a passion that one would think she would be ripped from him forever.

As he stood back up, he looked at her solemn, peaceful face in hopes that his kiss would awaken her. As he began to realize that she was really gone, he turned and began to leave, when he finally noticed the Mrs. Higurashi was standing at the door. "I am so sorry Inuyasha," she spoke with a grief stricken voice.

"It's okay, it wasn't your fault…I need to do something…please, don't bury her or anything yet."

"I promise."

"Thanks…I'll be back later tonight."

Inuyasha practically run out of the room and toward the well. When he got to the other side, he sniffed out Kouga and then ran in that direction.
