Shippo stared at the powerful woman in front of him hoping he didn't just hear what he thought. He hung his head letting his bangs cover his eyes as to try and hide the tears that began falling from his already swollen eyes. His little fists balled up at his sides holding in the anger, frustration running though him. The phrase kept running though his head "can't bring back that dead" making the anger turn into defeat, as he fell to his knees his heart breaking he had lost another Mother.
"Dead?" repeated Sango in disbelief, tears brimming her eyes as she looked to Miroku for confirmation. Hoping her ears had betrayed her that she didn't hear that word which she had so feared. Another person close to her was not going to die; she couldn't deal with it again, not when she could have stopped it this time. She would never be able to forgive herself.
Miroku stared at Sango seeing her beautiful eyes fill with tears looking at him for an answer but he had none. They were too late what could they do? They had done there best and it must have just been her time. But seeing the pain in Sango's eyes…and feeling that same pain within him he just starred back into those beautiful brown eyes which he loved so much and then took her within his arms holding her tightly as he felt several tears fall.
"But how?" InuYasha muttered to himself then spoke louder, "I can still see her she can't be dead…she's not dead till she disappears and I can still see her." He refused to believe that he was too late to save someone else he cared about it happened once it wasn't going to happen again.
"She's dying, the curse has gone too far into her, even with all of our power there is nothing that we can do to save her now," Kaiyou stated sadly. Watching the emotion before her was overpowering to think that they had done so much for this girl and everything they had worked to accomplish was slipping away from them right before their eyes. For every second that passed the girl passed into the realm of the unloving.
Kouga snarled and then punched the near by wall causing it to crumble however it rebuilt it self instantly. On a normal day the wolf would have been intrigued by this but this time it only seemed to fuel his anger. "We've come so far to save her and I'm not going to stop now!" he yelled as he walked over to her and knelt beside her fading body. "Fight it Kagome, I know that you are strong, I know that you can pull through this please Kagome keep fighting." He pleaded with the girl who he loved so much.
InuYasha followed the Wolf's lead; he couldn't just stand there and not try. As much as he hated to admit it, even just thinking it, Kouga was right. He knelt down on the opposite side of Kouga looking at the girl who he has shared so many adventures and emotions with. He looked Kouga in the eyes seeing the pain deep within them; Kouga must have seen the same thing within his own as they silently sympathized with the other as if to say to the other, together we will fight to keep her alive. "Kagome," he whispered so lightly that even Kouga could barely hear him. "Please wake up, you need to fight, I will fight with you Kagome, you're not alone."
All four Elements stared at the girl watching and wondering. They all knew that it was only the girl who could bring herself out of this now. If there were some memories that she would refuse to let leave her. That these memories could be strong enough to bring the others back, and could these remarkable people around them really bring her back.
Kouga looked at her face so peaceful, he reached out to feel her soft skin once more but phased right through her like before. "If only I could touch you once more, if only I wasn't too late," he whispered to her. "Come back to us Kagome, come back to me, I love you so much."
InuYasha normally would have fought with the Kouga for his words but he knew Kagome wouldn't have wanted that. He would respect her wishes, oh how he needed her back with him. "Don't leave me Kagome," he whispered to her. "I don't' know what I would do without you. You mean so much to me…I should have been able to help you sooner. I should have been there to protect you in the woods. Why couldn't I have saved you?"
Tears had welled up within both demons eyes, a lone tear falling from each eye falling to they're destination, the girl beneath them. But right before the tears reached the girl a whisper from both Demons could be heard, "I'm sorry". The tears landed on Kagome but they didn't phase through…both Demons' stared at one another in hope. When their eyes had returned to the girl she has started to glow.
