AN: April 2012. Hey Everyone, I've been toying with the idea of getting rid of the AN & Sampler for a while now. However, I think that may get rid of the reviews that are attached to it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or Yu Yu Hakusho

This is just a sampler of the next chapter. Chapter Four is going to be out next week. If there's anything wrong with it please E-mail me and I'll change it before chapter five is out.

Chapter Four Sample

Her mouth tasted bitter and salty. Something was running down her lip. She wiped her hand across her face hoping to get rid of it only causing it to spread. Pain encased her mouth. Air came in short pants. Her heart was squeezed by an unforgiving hand.

The words echoing in heart and mind, "Lady Kikyo and Inuyasha are mated!" Words spoken with such joy caused such a huge explosion of angst within her. The yells of congratulations filled the air taking misplaced hope away. With an instinct born of animalistic fear she ran. Visions of Kikyo and Sango's earlier taunting assaulted her mind. Blinding her from the pain of being scratched, cut, and bruised in running. She stopped in her tracks collapsing onto a bed of soft grass. Eyes hurting with the pain of a thousand bee stings, lips cracked and bleeding, and nose clogged she shook her head wildly trying to get the words to get out of her head.

Did she really deserve all this pain? Was she paying for the sins of her past life, but it didn't make since shouldn't her other be paying for their own sins? Maybe she did deserve all this. She was the one who shattered the jewel and the others made sure she'd never forget that. Kami hated her. He didn't know why he even made her. That's why all this is happening to me.

She was hyperventilating. Her small figure trembled violently as her emotions got the best of her. With the biggest intake of air she could she screamed. No one loved her. No one cared. If she died right now no one would cry over her grave. And it was true, her second family had forsaken her, even Keade-baba favored Kikyo. She may not have said it but she showed quite clearly. Someone who she thought of as a grandmother abandoned her. Dull spots of gray invaded her vision until whatever it was that kept it back collapsed leaving her in a void of pain.

-Outside Kagome's Dream-

Her body temperature is almost nonexistent. Skin that was soft and porcelain matched now clammy, cold sweat cover, and could only match the dead. Rose blush turned to blue ice.

How ironic is it that the Grim Reaper sat next to her wishing for life for a stranger at death. Holding onto her tightly Botan desperately discharged her powers into Kagome's heart keeping it beating. Hiei had given up on warming the bed refusing doing it again.

She felt useless the only thing she could do was keep her heart beating. But how long could she keep this up? The only way that she would survive would be to want to live. What reason was that though?

Oh the irony, The Grim Reaper weeping over the lost of a soul soon to become the dead.

Thanks for all the reviews! They are all very much appreciated.
