Chapter 60: I Can't Leave You

Kagome was in bed. It was around noon though. She was in a beautiful room, it was royalty. The room was robin's egg blue, with white crown molding and baseboards, as well as the ceiling. There was a balcony, the double doors that lead out to it. The bed was made with satin turquoise covers. The floor was cherry wood, real hard wood.

Inuyasha walked in and sat on the bed next to her. He took her hand and smiled down at her. "I love you my sweet mate."

She smiled weakly back up at him and looked at him. There was a deep pain in her eyes.

"I love you too, my love."

"Don't leave me, please." He said with tears welling up in his eyes. "Please."

"I'm trying. I'm trying mate, but I'm losing." She said and sat up. Tear started running down her face as she leaned over and kissed him, the most passionate kiss they had ever shared. But about 30 seconds into it she fell back. Her eyes closed. "I… love… you…" She whispered.

"No… Kagome, don't leave. Please. NO!" He cried and fell on top of her. "Why? Why did you leave me? Why?"

Inu Heki came in. He saw them and started to cry as well.

"She saved my life, why couldn't I of done the same for her?" He cried. He came over and sat next to her on the other side of the bed and stroked her hair. "Why?"

"Inuyasha, father?" Kagome whispered from behind them. They turned to see her. She was a ghost, Inu Heki gasped when he saw her.

"Ka-Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.

She nodded and tears ran down her face. Her body disappeared and she was made whole again.

"How?" Inu Heki asked.

"I was given a second chance." She said and smiled. "They said I wasn't ready."

"Who said?"

"The gods. They said you needed me. They said the love we shared was too strong to stop letting me live. They showed me what would happen if I wasn't here. You would both die…." She smiled. "It wasn't pretty."

She walked up to them. "I'm cured, they said the blood bond is working again. I can live my life like I should."

Inu Heki stroked her hair.

"It really is you." He whispered. She nodded.

She looked at Inuyasha, he was speechless. He then ran up to her and picked her up and twirled her around while kissing her. He set her down and they looked into each others eyes. "I love you too much to leave you. I can't."

She woke up crying. Inuyasha was laying against her stroking her hair. She turned her head to see him. He was smiling.

"What was it about?" He asked.

"This. Maboroshi, Maindo, ando Gaisuto, iza do taini. Sho Inuyasha. "

She showed it to him and he cried as well. "I wouldn't ever leave you and not come back. It hurts too much mate."

He hugged her hard and they cried silently in each others arms.

"I love you."

"I know, and I love you too."

He released her. "At least you'll come back. I couldn't take it if you died that early." He said looking deep into her eyes.

"I know, I couldn't take it either. I love you Inuyasha. Now and forever."

He hugged her again and then they got out of bed.

"I'm going to show my dad this later. He needs to know."

Inuyasha nodded.

Kagome walked up to the shrine. Her eyes were watering a bit, but mostly unnoticeable. She walked into the house and found her father in a recliner, he looked asleep. She smiled at him.

'Father.'

'Hm?'

'Look.'

He opened his eyes.

"Hey, what's up?"

"I finished the premonition completely." She said and sat next to him. "I need to show you." She said grabbing his hand. "Maboroshi, Maindo, ando Gaisuto, iza do taini. Sho Inu Heki."

She showed him and tears were in both their eyes.

"Oh Kagome, darling."

"The blood bond must not be working right or something. That maybe why I'm having problems feeling better."

"That's horrible. I can't believe you would die that way."

"I want to come back though. I'm needed here. I'm not going to die early and not come back. Then I would feel horrible. I can't let you and Inuyasha live forever and me not be here. I couldn't take it in the next life without you."

He hugged her.

"Thank you Kagome. I couldn't take it without you here either."

"Father. I've found the perfect time to strike the Diet." She said after a while. He let go of her.

"When?"

"In two weeks. The whole thing will mostly be on vacation. They're going to different countries. So they won't be able to get back in time."

"Great. We will once again rule like we should."

"Yes, I'll tell the others later. Just think, we'll finally not have to be in hiding anymore. It's a dream come true. I would of never thought we would get our power back."

"Me either darling. Especially in that way."
