I'm sorry if Childhood Friends ended there. I was going to make one more chapter, but the laziness got the best of me. I know you're probably going, "Oh my gosh, update already!" well, i know how you feel. But I'm sorry, I actually don't want to write the last chapter. I actually like it better like this, not every story has to be a happy ending. And one more thing. I never meant to kill Kagome, it just happened. I just naturally suck at writing endings. But since you guys wanted a ending, here it is. WARNING: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ ANYTHING SAD, THEN DON'T BOTHER READING THIS CHAPTER AND FLAMING/COMPLAINING TO ME AFTERWARDS. I chose to write the ending, and it'll be like that. No buts.
Plus, this'll be super short, I'm in a rush so don't complain.
Childhood Friend
Chapter Twenty Five. Final.
It was rainy, and everyone gathered around the hospital bed of where Kagome was sleeping peacefully on. She had been in a coma for the last three months, and everyone has been worried sick about her. They visited her everyday, until the nurses came and kicked them out when the visiting hours ended, that is.
One day, Miroku placed his hand on Inuyasha's shoulder and said, "Give it up, Inuyasha. You've been waiting for too long."
Inuyasha glared at Miroku. "Too long? It's been only fucking three months! I'm not going to give up on her now, not ever."
Miroku sighed in defeat. "Fine, if you feel so strongly about waiting for Kagome, Inuyasha, I'll leave you alone." he looked directly in the eyes of Inuyasha's. "But, if a misfortune comes along, please don't beat yourself up."
"Whatever. Just go away already, Miroku." Inuyasha growled, and his grip on Kagome's hand became tighter.
Miroku walked out of Kagome's hospital room and sighed. 'Will he ever let her go? Even if she does wake up from her coma, will he be himself again?'
Inuyasha waited for Kagome to wake up. He stared at her beautiful face and murmured. "Kag... Wake up. It's me, Inuyasha."
Kagome was still, and sadly, she didn't wake up. Inuyasha shook her hand again, and tears started to flow down from his eyes. "Kag... Please. Can you please wake up?" he praticially begged.
No answer.
Inuyasha started to sob quietly, and slowly felt Kagome's hand slowly tightened. "Inuyasha..." she gasped.
Inuyasha looked up, not believing his ears. "K- Kag?" he asked.
Kagome nodded slowly. "Are you okay? You were crying... It's not because of me, is it?"
Inuyasha wiped his tears. "No," he lied. "It's not that."
Kagome cracked a smile. "Well, it's good to see your face for a last time-."
"What the hell are you talking about, Kagome?" Inuyasha demanded. His grip had gotten tighter, as if Kagome's going to fall out of his hand any moment.
"I... You see, Inu, I know I'm going to die soon." Kagome sobbed. "I feel it inside my body. They're tearing apart, it's painful."
"No! The doctors can cure you, I'll pay lots. Anything for you to live, Kagome. I can't live without you." Inuyasha's voice cracked.
Kagome shook her head. "No. Don't, Inuyasha. It's just a waste of money-."
"No, it's not a waste of money. Not if it's for you." Inuyasha cried.
"Inuyasha, doctors can't cure everything. Sometimes, they fail, or there's no cure for a certain disease or cancer." Kagome protested.
"Maybe. We don't know until we try, Kagome. How about a try?" Inuyasha persisted.
Kagome shook her head. "No. Sometimes, some lives are meant to be dead, and one of those lives is mine."
"Kagome!-"
"No, Inuyasha. I'm not going try. I want to live, yes, but not by force." Kagome said calmly, with tears filling in her eyes. "I want to live, spend my life with you. But, I can't." she hugged Inuyasha, who was shaking while crying. "I'm sorry, Inuyasha."
"But," Inuyasha managed to say. "What am I going to do without you?"
Kagome smiled sadly. "Well, you can always find a great girl in your life, spending your life with her. Have fun times with Miroku, and can you take care of Sango for me?" she asked.
Inuyasha shook his head. "No. There's no one else out there who's going to be better then you. No one can or will ever replace you. I can't have good times with Miroku when I'm sad over you, and I won't take care of Sango when Miroku's taking care of her."
Kagome sighed. "Inuyasha, you have to move on in life. Please, do it for me, and have fun with Miroku. Don't get too upset over me-." and she suddenly collasped on her bed.
Inuyasha, worried, shook her. "Kagome! Kag! Kagome, are you there?" he demanded.
Kagome didn't respond, which worried Inuyasha. Later on, a couple of doctors and nurses came bursting in the room and looked worried. They began taking her pulses, and did blood tests.
"She's... gone, folks." a doctor announced. Praying to Kagome, he quietly said, "Amen."
"You mean she's dead?" Inuyasha demanded. "How? She was just talking to me!"
"I'm sorry, boy. But please leave your prayers for the girl." the doctor said.
"I... have a great afterlife, Kagome." Inuyasha quietly said, while crying. "Thanks a lot for leaving me. I'll always remember you."
Getting up, Inuyasha slowly began to leave the hospital, sobbing.
