The Heartbreak
(Chapter 2)
Kagome's mouth dropped open "Kagome…" Koga said in a weak voice "Pick the wolf Kagome. I know you love him so picking him will be the right choice." Inuyasha said defeat in his voice, tears welded up in Kagome's eyes
"You can't ask me to choose between the two people I love." Kagome said and you can hear the sadness dripping from her voice "I can and I just did. Choose quickly or you will lose both of them." Naraku chuckled as tears escaped Kagome's eyes
Kagome hung her head in defeat. She knew her choice from the beginning, there was no other way her heart could keep beating without him… Kagome strung her bow. "I am so sorry." Kagome said releasing the arrow
The arrow pieced one of Kohana's halves and busted open shattering into many pieces. Blood splattered as the other Kohana shot his hand into Koga's chest. Sango hit Kohana off of Koga before he got to his heart. Kagome stood there shaking and crying. Inuyasha got to his feet and went to Kagome.
"You choose me…" Inuyasha spoke just above a whisper "I can't live without you." Kagome said looking up into Inuyasha's eyes "I understand everything now…" Kagome looked into Inuyasha eyes and forced a small smile "I will let you say goodbye to your mate." Naraku said evilly as him and his followers disappeared "Kagome I don't know how much longer Koga has." Sango said tears streaking down her face
Kagome looked at Inuyasha one more time and then went to her dying mate. "Kagome." Koga said weakly and reached for her hand she held it close to her heart. "I am so sorry Koga." Kagome said through tears "It's fine my love. I understand your still in love with the mutt." Koga said weakly "I love you too Koga I really do. But I don't think that we were met to be together. I can't live without Inuyasha and that's why I choose to save him but god did I want to save you both I really did." Kagome said squeezing Koga's hand tight "I wanted to tell you the truth, because you at least deserve the truth." Kagome whispered
Koga surprised her by smiling, "Kagome please don't cry. I am going to meet the rest of my pack mates. I will be happy and I will be free of this world. But know one thing before I go… I love you I always have and I always will and I will be looking after you from the other world." Koga eyes started to become heavy and Kagome saw he was about to die, she leaned down and kissed him softly when she pulled away Koga took his last breath with a smile on his face.
"Kagome?" Sango took a hesitant step toward her, Kagome's neck was glowing and her mating mark was starting to disappear tears were sliding down her face but she looked at peace "Let's head back to the village and dress everyone's wounds." Kagome said in a small voice turning and heading back toward the village.
The others followed slowly behind; Inuyasha hosted Koga's lifeless body onto his shoulder and followed the rest of them. When they got back to the village Ginta and Hakkaku ran to meet them then stopped dead when they saw the expressions of their friends and Koga thrown over Inuyasha shoulder hanging there limp.
"No. No this can't be." Hakkaku said shaking his head and stepping back, Ginta broke out in tears and dropped to his knees "I am so sorry I couldn't save him." Kagome said sadness written all over her face; Ginta and Hakkaku ran to her and threw their arms around her knowing the bond and the pain from losing her mate. They stood there holding onto each other until Kaede placed her soft hand on Kagome's shoulder.
"It is time to bury our dead." Kaede said softly they nodded and followed behind Kaede as they made their way toward their friends that have made the grave close to the tree that Inuyasha had been pinned too. Inuyasha had laid Koga neatly into the grave and looked to Kagome as she nodded. Ginta and Hakkaku went to help Inuyasha and Miruko bury their former leader and brother.
Sango walked up giving Kagome a big hug that lingered and handed her a flower to put on Koga's grave. After the guys finished burying Koga, Sango and the rest of them paid their respects to Kagome and heading off leaving Kagome, Ginta, and Hakkaku alone. "Goodbye Koga." Kagome whispered as a single tear escaped her eyes, she laid the flower onto his grave and sat there with Ginta and Hakkaku.
