Chapter 1:

Life shattered

She sat sobbing in the 3rd floor waiting room at Cooks Hospital, she couldn't believe it, he can't be gone. Kagome thought back to when she first heard the news that her older brother had leukemia, no one could believe it.

"But the doctor said souta would be fine!" Kagome thought as she quietly sobbed.

Unfortunatley, the cancer had been more aggressive than anyone would have thought.

2 years prior...

Kagome was your average 15-yr-old girl. She was a sophmore in high school, spoiloed, but not a brat, and had, of course, a hot 19-yr-old boyfriend with a car.

Oh yeah, life was good.

She did everything she couold for her mom, fought with her younger sisters, and looked up to her older brother, Souta. 17-yr-old Souta was the ideal guy for any girl; muscular, spiked black her, fall for me brown eyes, and suprisingly, a kind heart, not shallow at all.

Souta was Kagome's role model. He could hush her and her sisters with just a glance; he was powerful and automatically respected.

Souta got sick right before his 18th birthday. The doctor said it was leukemia, but no one wanted to believe it. As the year progressed, Souta lost his hair, gained some wait, was constantly sent to the hospital, but still looked good.

Kagome, on the other hand, was a wreck. She tried to see comfort in her friends and boyfriend, Inuyasha.

Ah Inuyasha, the perfect boyfriend, great body, long hair-:drool: He had stolen her heart and virginity on the night of her banquet from school. But Inuyasha never seemed to care when Kagome would call him cryingn in the middle of the night because her brother had been sent back to the hospital. It bothered her, but it just didn't register, she was too stressed.

That summer, after Inuyasha had graduated, he decided to move to Tennessee where his parents were,(and he just so happened to forget to tell his parent that he had a girlfriend..)

Kagome thought about that night after graduation, the horror of finally getting to meet his parents and them asking her who she was. She was mortified! She had been sleeping with Inuyasha for over a month, and thought he might be in love with her, did he not care? She yelled at Inuyasha for hours, but he eventually won her back after supposedly telling his parents that they were dating. Inuyasha left at the end of June, neverr having told Kagome whether or not he loved her, but he didn't she soon figured out.

Kagome and Inuyasha still talked everyday, still dating, and Kagome wishing he'd come back, that was until, a week after he had left, Inuyasha started talking about a girl.

"man, this girl kagura is helping me..."

"so, me and kagura went out last night..."

Kagura, Kagura, Kagura! Kagome screamed in her head. 2 weeks after Inuyasha left, he told Kagome he wanted to break up, online none the less. That was when Kagome confronted him.

"Kagome, you knew this would happen," Inuyasha stated.

"Yes, but so soon? You could've at least given me time to get used to the fact you're gone," Kagome cried.

Inuyasha sighed.

"Is there someone else?" Kagome bluntly asked?

Silence...

"It's Kagura, isn't?"

"Inuyasha?"

"I like her Kagome, i'm sorry, I can't help the way I feel."

"Okay, then we're through, that's all you had to say Inuyasha."

"Kagome..."

click.

Kagome spent the next 6 months doinbg all that she could for her family and ignoring guys. Souta went into remission in the previous February, but relapsed in July. After that, he started falling rapiddly into the cancer's claws. He never gave up hope, not even when he spent his 19th birthday in the hospital.

"Oh my poor brother," Kagome cried.

Back to the present...

It was October 28th, and Kagome wanted to die. She thought about what had happened just an hour previously.

Flashback

Kagome and her outter family (cousins, grandparents,ect.) had been at home when Kagome's mother called them up to the hospital at 8:30 that morning. It seemed like forever as the family loaded and sped up to the hospital. Kagome had a sick feeling in her stomach, she knew today would change her life. She rushed into the hospital, into the elevator, and to Souta's room before anyone had gotten outta the car.

Kagome looked into the room, confused. Everyone was crying, huddled over Souta. Kagome quickly looked at Souta's heart monitor.

'His heart rate is fine,' Kagome thought, 'what's going on?'

That's when she realized that Souta's heart monitor was slowly, but consistantly, decreasing.

Kagome stared.

'No,' she thought

60...the heart monitor started sending off an alarm.

'No please.'

50

'Bubba'

40

'No...'

30

'no, oh please god no.'

20

'Oh bub'

10

'Bubba?'

flatline

Kagome ran to Souta, kissing his head.

"No bubba, please no!" she cried, oblivious to the room of chaos around her as everyone else had arrived.

"Oh god, please no, bubba, please no."
