Blazerules34: This will be our last chapter together. How sad :'(

Kagome: You killed me!

Blazerules34: It was for the best. At least you died with dignity. And I know most of you people are mad at me for killing Kagome. But, would you rather her die, or be Naraku's slave forever?

~Bella's POV~

I watched in horror as the light drained from my best friends eyes. When it was completely gone, her chocolate-brown eyes looked harsh and bitter without the gentle light that had danced in Kagome's eyes. And, somehow, I figured Alice would see something like this. Yet we had left them behind when Kagome came back to talk with us.

One of the saddest things about this is I want to cry. I really want to cry. But I can't! All because I became a vampire, I couldn't cry when my best friend died. I looked at Renesme's face. She was crying, which had to be enough for Edward and I.

My hand ghosted forward and forced it to touch her eyelids. I took one last look at her innocent eyes, the eyes that lost their light. Swallowing deeply, I slid her eyes down, where they would never open again. Renesme turned to me and threw herself into my arms. I held her close to me; wishing tears would fly out of my own eyes.

I just noticed how the others were doing. Sango was sobbing whole heartedly into the arms of Miroku, who was also crying. Shippo was curled into Kagome's right side, touching her face. He was crying as well. But Inuyasha, he wasn't crying. He was staring at Kagome's face with a loving expression. But then I saw it: a single tear slid past his control.

Inuyasha's head was lowered, but not in shame. He didn't bother to hide his tears. His head was lowered because of the pain. I had heard his story: Kagome was the first human to ever like him that hadn't either died or tried to kill him. I patted his shoulder in sympathy.

He picked up her body and carried her back to the village. We all understood without saying anything that we needed to go. But before we left, I saw Edward run into the forest. He came back into the clearing, scraping something on to a stone. He handed it to me wordlessly and I read it out loud, "Higurashi Kagome, born (made up dates) April 10 1994 died: February 23 2012. Miko, and will haunt you for disturbing grave" I finished tearfully.

Edward took the cold marble from my hands and placed it where Kagome had fallen. And as we left, a breeze pushed by me, feeling playful and free. And I knew with my vampire senses that it was a spirit: Kagome's spirit. May she always be free. Feeling the urge to cry a strangled sound escaped my throat and Kagome's spirit danced around me, like she was trying to get me to cheer up. One look and I knew the others could sense her too. "Rest in peace, Kagome. We'll be back" I said, and turned away without looking back.

When we got back to the village, we had a proper burial. Renesme cried enough for all of the vampires present; even Rose looked like she could have cried. And then we left, and I didn't know if I would see Inuyasha ever again.

~Three Years Later, Inuyasha's POV~

I climbed back up out of the well to go to Mrs. Higurashi's house. No, she didn't hate me, even after Kagome's death. But today was special: it was her death date. Mrs. Higurashi had decided that she would invite family and friends over this year. She was in the kitchen making food, and she hugged me when she saw me.

The living room started to fill up, and we we're about to make the trip to her grave when a car screeched to a stop. "Come on, Renesme, let's go! "I heard a familiar voice say. Well, it shouldn't have been that familiar; the last time I saw her was three years ago. Bella didn't bother to knock and she opened the door almost cautiously.

Renesme looked like she was 15 now, not the little nine-year-old I had seen only three years ago. A saying here sprang into my head: they grow up so fast. I almost snorted. Only when you're a half-vampire. But when Bella saw me, she stopped cold. I know she wanted to cry, I could imagine the salt water in her eyes. She ran at me, as fast as a normal human, and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry we were never able to make it. But we made her a shrine in our living room. "Bella whispered on a level that no human could hear. "Feh. "Was all that I said, and she laughed. Then, being a true Japanese woman, bowed. "I am sorry to intrude on all of you, but my name is Bella. I was Kagome's best friend, and I was with her when she died, and so was Inuyasha. "She bowed and we sat down for the service.

Renesme cried, and one tear slid out from my own eye. When the service ended, we walked out to Kagome's "fake" grave. I mean, I know its fake, Mrs. Higurashi knows its fake and the vampires know. Kagome's actual have is in the feudal era, in a sacred place. Since we got Bella and her family in the well, I knew it was possible for Mrs. Higurashi to go. So, every other weekend, I take her down to see her daughters grave.

Thank God Miroku knew it was Kagome's mother, or he would have been all over her. Ok, Thank God he's married too. After we ate and talked, we went on our annual trip to the well to visit Kagome's grave, where Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kirara, and their kids would be waiting. Edward held onto Mrs. Higurashi and we jumped over the side.

A breeze blew, and I stilled. Whenever we visited Kagome's grave, a breeze blew and I knew why. Kagome's spirit was visiting us. And as I walked up the steps to Kagome's grave with my friends behind me, I knew everything would be alright, and that Kagome would always be with us.

Blazerules34: I'm sorry, but this was our last chapter together. I hope you guys like the story! I'm going to go back and fix it later, but review and tell me if I should make a sequel!
