In One Moment

Summary: Cancer. This six letter word can change the lives of anyone. So what happens when Kagome is diagnosed with it? Then, when she tells InuYasha that she has a few days to live and they can't be with him?

Author's Comment: Hey everyone. Thanks for your support! I do appreciate it. Any who, here's the next chapter. Please review in the end!

Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha.

"Kagome, I love you." InuYasha whispered, tearfully to himself as he saw the last glimmers of blue light disappear in the well. The hanyou was over come with grief. He fell on to the ground. He dug his fists into the ground with anger. 'Why couldn't I do something?' He though bitterly to himself. 'I should have protected her! She loved me. I loved her! I could have…' InuYasha stood up.

"…at least told her I loved her too."

InuYasha leapt away toward the tree of ages. He looked up at it and could see the sunshine peeking through it branches. The sunlight glimmered like diamonds in the light.

Slowly, he climbed up the trunk of the sacred tree and came up to a huge branch, where he sat on. He leaned his back up against the trunk and looked up. He was quite high up into the tree. Most of the branches were too small to obscure his vision. He had a clear view of the sun and birds that flew overhead.

As he gazed onto the earth, InuYasha's mind was on something else. Kagome. He just could not shake her face from his mind. The hanyou could clearly see her long black hair, her almond eyes, luscious red lips, her petite body covered tightly in her school outfit. She was an angel to him. An angel that he let fly away.

His thoughts quickly turned to the worst. He now saw Kagome, laying in a bed surrounded in darkness. She cried out in pain and begged for death out loud, screaming to some unknown god. Then, suddenly, she became cold. The life and light vanished from her body as her mother stood over her, caressing her cheek lightly, weeping a loud.

Why did he let this happen? It was his fault. Kagome told InuYasha several times that she needed to leave the feudal era, to go see a doctor. If he had just let her go…

Then, maybe, just maybe, she would be at his side right now. Not, contemplating her evadable death.

"It's my fault." InuYasha muttered to himself, secretly punishing himself. He covered his face with his hands. He pulled his knees to his body. He pulled back when he felt a small bump in his kimono pocket.

InuYasha stuck his hand inside his kimono and pulled out the Shikon jewel.

"Stupid rock!" He yelled at it. InuYasha must have lost for he did not realize that rocks don't have ears, therefore can not hear. "It's because of you that she'll never come back! Or is it…"

With that, InuYasha leapt off the tree and made a brisk run away from the village.

About a month later.

"How do you feel today, Kagome?" The doctor asked, placing a stethoscope on her chest to listen to her heartbeat. "Headaches, anything?"

"No." Kagome replied, in between taking deep breaths so that the doctor could hear her lungs.

"Really?" The doctor said, in shock. "Hmmmm……"

"Oh dear." Kagome's mom sighed. "It's never a good sign when the doctor says: Hmmmm."

The doctor ignored her comment and continued questioning Kagome. "What about over the last month? Any pain? Blackouts?"

Kagome shook her head and once again replied, "No."

"That's very strange."

"Really? Why? Please doctor, tell me."

"Usually, you should experience some migraines, blackouts or even seizures. But, here you are telling me that you have not experienced any of this?"

"Correct."

"Hmmm….." The doctor looked down at his chart.

"For Buddha's sake, please tell us what this means!" Shouted Mrs. Higurashi. She shot up from her chair, looking like she was about to strangle the doctor.

"I need to run a few tests. A cat scan of the brain should do." He turned around and walked out of the room to go see if the machine was available for Kagome.

About an hour later, the doctor appeared in Kagome's room. She had got rid of her paper gown and had a blue mini skirt and a white top on. The hour before, she had lain inside of a noisy machine while it scanned the inside of her head.

"Well, doctor how is she?" Kagome's mother asked.

"It's gone." The doctor said amazed. He pulled his glasses off and shook his head. "I don't know how this could have happened, but it is gone. No trace. Just like magic."

Kagome looked at her mother with tears in her eyes. "Mom, did he just say, what I thought he said?" Her voice cracked and was a bet stuttered.

"Yes. Yes! YES! Kagome, my darling!" Kagome's mother jumped toward her daughter, hugging her so tightly, Kagome might have suffocated unless the doctor hadn't pried Mrs. Higurashi off her.

Kagome's mom kept screaming. "You're not going to die! I can't believe it!" She began to lead her daughter out of the room.

Before she left, Kagome turned to the doctor and thanked him.

"Oh no, Miss Kagome. Don't thank me; you must have some guardian angel looking over you."

"Gramps! Sota!" Kagome called as she walked into her home.

"What is it, sis?" Sota replied, leaving the family room and his videogame, still on, on the T.V.

"Yes, Kagome. What is going on?" Her grandfather came up behind Sota.

"I don't know how to say this, but I'm cured. I'm better. And furthermore, NOT GOING TO DIE!"

The whole Higurashi household erupted into an uproar of rapture.

"Kagome, call your friends and we'll throw a party." Kagome's mother said. Kagome ran upstairs to call her friends and Hojo. All of them were ecstatic and replied they would be over in a matter of minutes.

"Mom!" Kagome called to her mother as she walked back downstairs. Her mother a magician, transforming the house into party central. Balloons and streamers were everywhere in a multitude of colors.

"Mom, you did this in just a few hours?" Kagome walked up to her mother, who placed several plates of steaming food on the table.

"Well, it's not everyday that daughter's come back from the dead." She replied with a small laugh.

"Mom, I didn't die!"

"Well, you might as well have. You spent hours in your room, all dark and depressed and played that wretched music."

"Yeah, well." Kagome tilted her head and smiled.

"By the way, honey, you look nice today."

Kagome had changed into a red dress that came up to right above the knee. It had a v-neck and dipped low in the back. The dress definitely showed her figure off.

"Thanks." She turned to go up to her room and put the finishing touches on her hair and makeup.

"Oh, Kagome. Be a dear and get those extra chairs in the shed out back!"

"Alright."

Kagome crossed her backyard, the sunning smiling down upon her. She started to pass the well house when she stopped.

Slowly, she walked over to it and opened the doors. Kagome walked down the steps to the old decaying well. She sat on the side of it looking down the hole.

"Why do I get the feeling, I'm forgetting something." Kagome pushed her hari behind her ears and stood up, still staring down into the well. The well appeared to be as deep as the hole in her heart.

"Or at least someone."
