Laying Amongst the Dead
Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha.
Chapter Twelve
InuYasha sat there and cradled Kagome.
Maybe biting her will sent Death a message and send her back to me. Maybe, just maybe I'd get to see her beautiful eyes again.
InuYasha lifted his chin from her forehead and gently tilted Kagome's head and stared at her neck for a couple of seconds. He felt his lip tremble as the thought of Kagome being his mate and baring his children popped into his head. He shook head and leaned down and sank his fangs into her neck. He felt more tears fall from his eyes as Kagome's still warm blood slide down his throat. He pulled away and felt his chest heave as he stared at his mark.
Please wake up, Kag. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to bare my pups. You're mine. Do you hear!
"Y-You're mine now, so…so you can't die, K-Kagome. I cl…claimed you. Do you hear? I claimed you," InuYasha muttered and stared at her face with doubt sinking into his heart.
InuYasha closed his eyes and let his head drop to her chest. He finally accepted that she was gone. He would never b able to watch her sleep soundlessly in his arms. But what hurt the most was that he never got to tell her that she was his only one. Kikyo never was.
"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I'm sorry I let you die," InuYasha whispered and felt as if his heart died with the girl in his arms. His very soul seemed to be shattered into a million pieces.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Koga ran into the castle to find his beloved in InuYasha's arms. InuYasha had tears rolling down his cheeks as he stared at the immobile girl in his arms. Both of them had blood splattered across their clothes and faces. Koga's heart skipped a beat as he spotted the hole in Kagome's stomach. She was dead.
Kagome's laughter suddenly filled his head and pictures and memories of her suddenly filled his head. He saw her picking flowers near his cave. She was laughing and smiling at him. Then he saw her laying next to him in his cave as she rested from her trying day. The picture of her lifeless form now filled his head and chased away any happy memories he had of her. He didn't want to see her like this. He didn't want to remember her like this. He wanted to remember her smile.
"She's dead," Koga said in disbelief as he stared at Kagome and collapsed next to InuYasha.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
InuYasha suddenly looked up and glared at his brother. HE wanted to burn him in hell a thousand times over and more, but he needed him to bring Kagome back to life. Then and only then would he kill his brother for killing Kagome in the first place.
"Bring…her…back," InuYasha said slowly in a venomous voice.
"Death isn't happy with us, InuYasha and you damn well know that. We already stole her away from him once, he won't let us have her again without a price," Sesshomaru said and looked away from InuYasha's intense glare.
He won't give her back with out a price? What can I give him that is of any worth? I can't give Death the tetsisaiga. What about my demon powers? Or my life? As long as I see her alive I'll be willing to do anything for her.
"What if I gave him my life?" InuYasha blurted out and continued to stare at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru looked up and met InuYasha's gaze. "You won't get to see her before you die, if that's what you're thinking," he said in monotone voice.
"What about my powers?" InuYasha whispered and looked away from Sesshomaru.
"You'd be killing yourself anyway. You have demon blood flowing through your veins, InuYasha. You can't just give him your demon blood without you dying after. You forget that you are still a youkai. You are no longer a hanyou," Sesshomaru said with irritation in his tone.
"Why don't we just go ask him then?" InuYasha said hotly and stood up.
He started walking down the hall and out the doors with Kagome's limp body still clenched to his chest. He would die with her if he had to. One way or the other.
oOo
What do you guys think? Good? Yes? No? Well, I sure hope it is. I change my mind on how I wanted it to end the last minute. I might…never mind. Can't tell you. grins evilly. I was going to make her a half demon, but I found out a different way to go on with the story. I was gong to end it with them running through the open doors of Sesshomaru's castle alive and kicking, but I didn't like the way it was going. Well, tell me what ya'll think of this chappy. PLEASE! It will tell me if I continue with this ending or to go back with the original one. Thanks. Send me those reviews. I need at least 5 REVIEWS or more to continue this one. Thanks again. Love ya.
