Alright every one here is chapter two :) Please read and enjoy, also please remember to review when you are finished, we love hearing every ones thoughts on the story.

Chapter two:

Kagome ran deep into the forest of Inuyasha, straight to the Sacred tree, standing at the base of the tree, tears in her eyes. She fell down and onto her knees. Looking up at the sky with tears still flowing, making two fist she screamed and punched the tree with all her might. 'Why now, when I just get back?...Why is this happening?' Kagome thought to herself as she cried into her hands.

Just then a flash of red and silver rushed towards her, and kneeled down beside her. Inuyasha took her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. He Tried his best to comfort her as Kagome cried and cried into Inuyasha's shoulder. Placing her arms around him.

Once she was able to speak, she cried to him "Oh Inuyasha, what are we going to do?...This cannot be real, it just can't be!" Nothing made sense to her anymore. Her world was turned up side down and she didn't know what to do but cry.

"Shhh, I know Kagome. We well get through this, do you hear me? We will, I swear it. I promised to you with my life and damn it that's what I'm going to do." Inuyasha took a deep breath and his voice became quite. "Even if I have to kill Sesshōmaru for the Tenseiga" He held her even closer to him now "I will save you Kagome, I promise."

Kagome squeezed Inuyasha harder at that moment, "But Inuyasha...what if...what if I can't be saved?" She asked him. Inuyasha looked down at her with the most caring eyes any one could possess.

"You can Kagome, you can be." He reassured her, he then lifted her up bridal style and carried her home.

Kagome was still her normal self, she showed no signs of the illness. She did everything that she used to; cooking, cleaning, helping out, everything. She was still Kagome, that was until a week later. That's when it all started.

Her symptoms started appearing, when she started eating very little if anything, food no longer appealed to her making her weaker and weaker. From there she would always be vomiting, or constantly feeling like she was going too. Severe pain would consume her, even when she couldn't bare it a moment longer, it continued. Kagome cried and cried from the constant pain and from everything that was happening to her. Everything went down hill from there, with no sign of progress.

Both of them hoped the deadly disease would go away and that she would get better. Sadly enough though those hopes died the day she could no longer get out of bed, or even dress herself.

Two days later she became very cold, it was like all the warmth had left her body. When Inuyasha would touch her, she felt dead because of how cold she was.

Inuyasha never once left her side, he held her as close as possible. On the rare occasion when he did have to go somewhere, he carried her with him. They never parted. He tried to keep her hopes up by talking about the happier times and the good old days, most times that would ease the pain for both of them. Until they were always, forced back into reality.

Often he would take her outside, just for some fresh air. She loved it when he would take her outside, to feel the warm sun on her cold body, to feel the wind brush against her skin

He could always smell the illness becoming worse and worse, never could he smell it getting better. This disease was slowly killing her, slowly taking away his precious Kagome. A little more as each day passed, and there was nothing that he could do. No matter how hard he tried nothing worked.

Everything broke Inuyasha's heart, seeing her the way she was, seeing everything go down hill. The sickness had even changed her appearance, she no longer looked like the Kagome he knew and loved, but none of that mattered. Kagome would always be the same to him, she was still just as pretty in Inuyasha's eyes.

Although that didn't hide the truth, he could see it. He wanted badly to do something, anything to help her. He always tried to not show her how bad he was hurting, she was going through enough. She didn't need to hurt any worse than what she was.

Then on the night of the fifteenth day, it was time for Kagome and Inuyasha to say their final goodbyes. She was going to die that night and they both knew it. Inuyasha was sitting on the bed, holding her hand.

Kagome was struggling to speak, but her determination never left her so she continued to try. "Inu...yasha" Kagome painfully and slowly said.

"Yes love, what is it?" Inuyasha asked as he was running his hand through her hair. Tears threatened to spill out but he wouldn't let them.

"I'm...I'm sorry" taking a few deep breaths she continued "for all...of the pain, I've caused you"

She was becoming weaker by the moment, she could barely feel Inuyasha touch her anymore. Once he could see that she was becoming weaker he tightened his grip on her hand.

"Don't you dare. You have nothing to be sorry for" Inuyasha growled softly at her while taking her lovingly in his arms.

"But I was...gone for 3 years...you were...lonely all that time, and now I'm..." Kagome never got the chance to finish her sentence, Inuyasha had quieted her with a loving kiss.

After breaking the kiss Inuyasha said what he needed too before he never would be able. "Kagome, I will save you, I will NOT loss you again...I can't lose you again" Inuyasha said while looking into his wife's teary eyes. "I will find a way to bring you back to me and if I can't I will follow you in death, my love, I promise you that."

Kagome slowly lifted her weak hand to Inuyasha's face. Taking his cheek in her hand she gave him a sad smile. "I know you will...do whatever...it takes to bring me back...but PLEASE don't follow me so soon...I want you...to live a full...and happy life."

"Believe me Kagome if I can't find a way by next month, I will join you in death, my life could never be full or happy without you. You are my life, my happiness, without you, I'm already dead." Inuyasha told her while taking her hand, off of his cheek and pressed it to his lips.

"NO! Inuyasha don't...kill yourself because of me..." Kagome cried, she wasn't going to be like Kikyo and try to make him follow her into death. She couldn't and wouldn't do that to him.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha sighed "There will be nothing left of me without you my koi, my Kagome. In the three years that we were apart, it was slowly killing me, but at least I knew you were safe and that you were alive." A tear escaped his eye just then, "I can't live when I know you truly are gone, Kagome, I love you..."

Kagome's breathing became even heavier at that moment and she knew it was time. Fighting for one last breath she struggled to speak once more. "Inu...yasha...I...love...you..."

Just then while laying in Inuyasha's arms, Kagome Higurashi, faded into the darkness and died. Just as Kikyo had nearly three and a half years ago...

Inuyasha knew it in an instant and he let all the tears fall then. His Kagome was gone, and with her went a piece of him also died.
