A/N sorry about the extremely short and grammatically incorrect chapter I posted a day or two ago. Here is the next slightly longer chapter. Enjoy!
IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE: Do not read if you have any past memories of car crashes or the like. I don't want to be responsible for any painful memories resulting from this story. Thank You.
Sango cut back into her own lane, and reached out an arm as the truck blew past her. Her fingers scraped against the side, and she looked at the dirt on her fingertips with some amusement.
'Tag, your it.' she thought, looking in her side mirrors, spotting Ayame immediately. She looked at the road and was blinded temporarily as a car shot by her with his hi-beams on. Ayame opened up the throttle in an attempt to catch up with InuYasha, but he was long gone. Sango lifted her bike into a catwalk and dodged once more into the wrong lane. She pulled ahead of the car that prevented her from gaining speed, and slammed her wheel back onto the ground. Sango looked behind her once more, and saw Miroku keeping two car lengths behind her.
InuYasha reduced his wind resistance by leaning over his handlebars and leaned into the right hand turn, slowing slightly. As he came out of the turn, he straightened his bike, and opened the throttle. He could feel the bike vibrating, and he glanced at the speedometer. The needle was as far up as it could go, and InuYasha guessed that he was actually going faster than it was saying, given the fact that it couldn't go any higher. He glanced ahead and was surprised to see the sign that announced the 4 way intersection ahead fly past him. They say that at 210 MPH, you go 24 feet in the blink of an eye. The sign was 100 feet from the intersection, and a blink of the eye takes about 80 nanoseconds, so it took about 2 and a half seconds to traverse the 100 feet. InuYasha barely had time to register the car passing through the middle of the intersection before he collided head on with it, passing right through the passenger side window. He screamed violently as a shard of glass entered his skull right behind his left ear. Blood exploded all over the person riding in the passenger seat, and InuYasha's body passed through the driver side window also. He dimly felt his body being lacerated by flying glass, before he passed out, his body landing on the road. The driver of another car slammed on his brakes, and skidded to a stop inches from the unconscious InuYasha.
Sango heard scream, one filled with pain and fear, and she felt her heart skip a beat. Ayame, who had been riding alongside Sango, looked at her fearfully. They both sped up, and entered the corner at top speed. As they shot down the straightaway, Ayame started to slowly pull ahead of Sango, having a slightly faster bike. She heard her engine screaming loudly, and felt her body craving oxygen. She hadn't realized that she was going so fast that she couldn't breathe. She didn't slow down, and felt her vision becoming blurry. Like in a twisted dream, everything was moving slowly, until at the last minute everything speeded up, and she could breathe again, for she had ducked under her windshield screen. Her vision narrowed to a small spot directly in front of her, and she recalled the term for it: tunnel vision. She almost missed the small yellow sign on the side of the road, but thankfully she saw it, and decelerated in time, easing the strain she had put on her engine. She coasted down to the intersection, and jumped off her bike, not caring as it fell onto it's side. She saw InuYasha's bike, or what was left of it, crumpled into the side of a car, sitting in the middle of the intersection. She inhaled sharply through her nose, and was overcome with the smell of fear, gasoline, burnt rubber, and a more powerful scent. The scent of InuYasha's blood. She ran over to the other side of the car, and found InuYasha, lying on the ground, surrounded by a dark stain. His blood. Somebody had apparently called the cops, because she was gently pulled away from InuYasha's body when she tried to touch him.
"I-is he...?"
The cop shook his head.
"I'm sorry."
Ayame was led to an ambulance, along with Sango, to be treated for shock, while they loaded InuYasha into another ambulance to be taken to the hospital. The ambulance pulled away slowly, lights flashing, yet sirens silent. Sango hugged Ayame, wrapping her arms around her neck.. Sango started crying, and Ayame pulled her closer, rubbing her back.
"He'll be ok, you'll see." she lied, knowing she should respect Sango enough to tell her the truth. But the truth would hurt her too much. Ayame hadn't heard a heartbeat, or heard a pulse. InuYasha was, as far as she knew, dead. Sango must have felt it in her heart, for she simply cried harder. Sango put her forehead on Ayame's shoulder, and turned her head in, so that Ayame could feel Sango's breath on her neck. Finally the realization kicked in, forcefully, and Ayame couldn't hold on any longer. As the first tear rolled down her cheek, the night's first rain fell as well. Someone draped a blanket over their shoulders. Like Ayame's tears, the rain fell slowly and gently. Soon, though, the rain was crashing down in torrents, and they were offered a ride home by the ambulance driver who, thankfully, didn't need to rush anybody else to the hospital. They declined, indicating their bikes, which could not be locked up and left on the side of the road, like cars could. The ride home was slow and silent, and when they reached their houses, all they wanted to do was sleep, clear their heads, and pray to whatever Gods they had, that InuYasha died quickly. Sango slept with Ayame, at her house. They went upstairs to Ayame's room, and laid down on the bed together, falling asleep quickly. Their sleep was plagued by thoughts of InuYasha, though, and none of them found it restful the next morning.
A/N god dammit! I was typing from the written version, and I forgot that the version didnt have Kohaku in it, so I had to delete half my stuff. Thats why its so short. Sorry for the long wait.
