I don't belong here what am I doing' Kagome thought to herself. If I left everyone would be happier… Inuyasha could be with Kikyo . Everyone would much better off but… I love all of my friends here I can't just leave them; I don't want Inuyasha to think I don't care about him.

I don't belong in this era but I don't fee like I belong in the future either, I can't go home because I don't have one anymore. Inuyasha doesn't love me and I don't feel right in my era it just wouldn't be the same. Kagome thought.

She picked up her bow and started walking toward the light shining in the forest of Inuyasha that she knew was the glow of Kikyo's soul stealers. When she arrived at her destination and saw Kikyo standing there in the forest alone looking so sad she felt she had made the right choice

'Now they can both be happy' she thought. "What do you want" Kikyo asked her in that tone of voice so cold it could freeze fire. "I want you to know you can have Inuyasha he doesn't want me, he loves you and I hope you're happy together" she said with a silent tear flowing down her cheek.

Kikyo was silent for a while before saying "that isn't all you've come for is it?" she asked in a slightly softer tone of voice. "no it isn't I wanted to give you back your soul" Kagome said before taking a arrow out of her quiver and slicing her wrists she looked up at Kikyo and smiled "take good care of him Kikyo, let him know I love him" she said as the cold chill of death surrounded her and she drifted away with that one tear still sliding down her cheek

Kikyo gasped in surprise as Kagome's soul escaped but did not return to her body. Just as she felt Kagome's aura disappear Inuyasha ran into the clearing. "Kikyo have you seen…" he trailed off as his eyes met the cold staring ones of his love. "Kagome" he whispered

" I am sorry Inuyasha" Kikyo said with a bit of a smile on her face " no Kikyo I'm sorry I wont go to hell with you nor can I avenge your death, I have somewhere I need to be and someone I need to be with" Inuyasha said solemnly and he took the same arrow used by Kagome and put it to his throat "goodbye" he said before opening the life giving vein and letting his blood spill onto the ground his last action was to kiss Kagome sweetly on the lips.
