Kagome watched Inuyasha's red-clad form fade into the night until he was gone with a heavy heart, and then without a word, crawled into her sleeping bag to try to sleep.

This feeling is so strong... I'm not going to see you again, Inuyasha, I know it.

So... I'll say goodbye, and close my eyes to await whatever's coming.

Just... please don't forget me once I'm gone.

That's all I ask.

A/N: Due to the brevity of this chapter, I will be posting two chapters today.

Enjoy...

Also, someone left an anon review asking if the rating will go to M for lemon because they enjoy the way I write them. The answer is no, not this one. This one will maintain it's T rating, because the focus is more on the emotional than the physical. Besides – I hate writing lemons, actually. I much prefer writing battle scenes... they are easier. I just find writing lemon scenes difficult, and they usually take me the longest. However, in some stories they are needed, and some not; this one does not need one.
