Can't Go On...

By Kuroi_Yasha

Chapter 6: Farewell, My Love.

 

The rain came down heavily on the head of the blood soaked hanyou. 'How...How could it end like this...? Why? Why didn't I see it sooner? Its my fault...its all my fault...' Inuyasha lay with his back to a fallen tree. Before him lay the lifeless bodies of those that had once been his friends and loved ones. Miroku lay facedown in a puddle of his own blood, the hand that had once held his kazanna was missing, and a deep gash ran across his chest and torso. Not to far away his lover and wife Sango lay, Hiraikotsu imbeded in her back. Peices of scattered fur was all that remained of Sesshomaru, the tensaiga and tokijin broken into shards beyond repair. And then there was her...His one true love...the woman that had bore him two pups and had cared for the one that was not hers. It had been the hardest to finish her. Yet...Yet, she herself had asked him to kill her. By sheer will, Ayame was able to summon the strength to tell him to free her from the control of the creature that controled her. Inuyasha took another look at her peaceful figure, her beautiful red hair fanned behind her, dressed in her most gorgeous kimono, that thought torn and blood stained, did not remove any of her beauty. The tetsusaiga lay implailed in her chest. All but his childeren had been infected. The others weren't so lucky. All had fallen victim to a mysterious parasite that controled its host. Yet, killing the master of the parasites wasn't enough. Each of the parasites had a free will of its own. Inuyasha looked up at the sky as his mind went back to how it had all begun...on that day four months ago, the day that Ayame bore him his second, and last child, Yuki.

 

-----------Flashback-----------

 

The village was frantic. It was time for the head of the village's wife to give birth. The last time she had born him a child he went insane when the eldest miko and mid-wife had asked Inuyasha for hot water. Of coarse him not knowing who or what to do he did the only thing he knew how to do. He began barking out commands. Anyone that was unfortunate enough to cross his line of sight fell vitim to his commands. Worse, if you tried to tell him you couldn't do what he asked...he yelled. Loudly. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU FUCKING MEAN YOU CAN'T FUCKING HELP! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE TO DO THAT IS MORE FUCKING IMPORTANT THAN GATHERING SOME FUCKING WATER FOR MY MATE THAT IS ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH TO MY FIRST PUP! IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE I SUGGEST YOU GET YOUR LAZY ASS OVER TO THE WELL AND GATHER SOME FUCKING WATER!!" Inside the hut everyone except Ayame sighed at Inuyasha's screames of fury and anger. "Remind me why we chose him as village leader?"

"Cause it was either him or Miroku?"

"Why did Miroku-sama lose again?"

"Well, Miroku had the lead, until the hentai in him got the best of him. He proclaimed that once a year all the young women in the village were to 'Service' him. I swear to Kami, I had such a workout kicking his hentai ass. I don't know why I agreed to amry him."

"B...Bec...Because....you love....him....Now....quit blabb...ing....and...GET THIS DEMON OUT OF ME!!"

Sango raised her eyebrows as she looked at the other occupants of the hut, "Am I the only one that finds that ironic?" A few chuckles were heard as a cushion collided with Sango's head. "Very well, enough talk, lets get this baby out of her before she decides to throw her sword next." After what seemed like an eternity for Inuyasha (Actually about 13 hours) the cries of a newborn child filled the air as Inuaysha broke into the hut as Sango finished wrapping the child in a warm blanket. "Congradulations Inuyasha, its a boy." Inuyasha was grinning like an idiot, but he didn't care. Gathering u the small bundle in his arms he smiled as the young pups hand wrapped around his clawed finger. The child had beautiful platnum strands of hair, and it seemed that he would have his mother's gorgeous green eyes. On his head rested two red triangular dog ears. "He..he has red ears..." Ayame opened her eyes and smiled at the sight before her, there stood her mate, holding their first child in his arms. "What are we gonna name him?" Inuyasha smiled as a name came to mind. "We'll name him Akai." Ayame smiled as she nodded her head. Sango sighed as she walked over to her husband who had just entered the hut at the sounds of the newborn child's cries.

"So, what's the pups name?"

"Akai."

"Hm. Why Akai?"

"He had red ears."

"Red ears you say?"

"Yup, simple name, from a simple guy."

"What was that...?"

"Nothing! Nothing at all!"

Now the village was perepaired for Inuyasha's second child. They had three buckets of water ready, plenty of towels, even an emergency futon in case the first one was un-usable. Ayame's cries of pain and frustration filled the air as she struggled to bring the young pup into the world. Sango stood by her side again, "Come on Ayame, just keep pushing...Harder...Harder...Squeeze my hand softer....softer...that's it!" Finaly with one final yell the cry of the young pup filled the silent air as the village broke out in cheers. Inuyasha ran into the hut, completly unaware of the three sets of eyes watching his every move. Inside the hut Inuyasha held the small bundle just as the hut opened again and a small red dog eared little boy entered the hut. "Outo-san?" Inuyasha looked down at the small child, "Akai, come here." The little boy approached his father, "What is that Outo-san?" Inuyasha smiled as he lowered the bundle so that the young child might see her, "Say hello to your new baby sister." The small boy curiously approached as he looked down at the small child. She had her mother's red hair, but it seemed she'd have her father's golden eyes. "I don't like her." All eyes turned to the small child, "She smells funny." Everyone sweatdropped at the childs responce, "Just like his father..." Laughter filled the hut as a cloacked figure stood outside, "Laugh for now...soon all you will know is pain."

 

--------End Flashback----------

 

Inuyasha heard the laughter before he could find its source. Too late he located the sound as a fierce pain shot through his sholder as the arrow pinned him to the tree. "What's the matter dog-shit?" The wolf prince cast a look around his surroundings as he let out a low whistle, "Damn you did a number on them. And what's this...?" He walked over to Ayame as Inuyasha began to growl, "Get the fuck away from her you sick fuck!" Kago however paid no attention as he crouched down near Ayame's corpse. "Such a beauty..." He sighed as he rubbed her cheeks, "I don't know what she saw in you." Inuyasha was beyond pissed, "How dare you TOUCH HER!!" Inuyasha roared as he ripped free of the arrow. Koga saw it comming, but he had forgotten about his speed, also without his jewel shards he was greatly reduced in speed. With a quick swipe Koga's blood began to flow freely from the gash in his torso. A sudden swish filled the air as Inuyasha dropped to the ground to avoid the purification arrow that missed his head by mere inches as he felt his hair singe. Before he had fully risen he heard her attack, "Hama no Reiryouku!!" Pain seared through him as he was sent flying into the air. He crashed violently with the ground, he had just risen when he was kicked back into the hole. Koga stood over the defenceless yui-hanyou with a sinister grin on his face. "What's the matter, can't fight back?"

 

--------Flashback-------

 

"What's the matter Inuyasha? Can't fight back?" Inuyasha growled at the monotone voice that escaped his mate's lips. "Ayame, put the blade down." It seemed however that she either didn't hear him, or she didn't care. "What's the matter? Are you the great Inuyasha afraid?" Inuyasha growled as he dodged a swipe of the sword. "Ayame! You gotta fight it! Don't let him take over your mind!" The cruel laughter that escaped her sent shivers down his spine. "Come Inuyasha...join me. Its bliss. It hurt's a little at first, but you soon forget all your problems. So...Will you join us?" Inuyasha scoffed as he drew his blade. "Hell no. And as soon as I kill your master is I'll come back for you." Before she could react Inuyasha was infront of her as he delivered a firce right hook to her left temple. As she colopsed he heard another yell, "Hiraikotsu!!" Inuyasha yelleped as he was sent flying into the trunk of a tree when the giant boomerang connected with his back. Rising slowly Inuyasha came face to face with his friends, "What the hell...What the fuck was that all about?" However they didn't answer him, "Guys...?" Inuyasha dove out of the way as a surta was sent flying his way, courtesy of Miroku. Before he could recover however he was forced to leap to the side to avoid a swipe of Sango's sword. Inuyasha continued rolling on the ground until his back bumbed into Hiraikotsu. Grabbing it he held it behihiback in a stance similar to the one that Sango used before throwing the giant boomerang. "Forgive me my friend..." Inuyasha whispered as he threw the boomerang at Sango. Sango mearly stepped aside as the boomerang missed her by a good meter. "Come now Inuyasha, that was pathetic. Even by your standars." Inuyasha lowered his head, "What's wrong? Have you realized that victory is impossible?" Inuyasha sighed as he raised his head, "No. I'm just hoping that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for killing you." Sango raised an eyebrow as she pondered his words. "What are you..." Sango's eyes widdened as she stumbled forward. The Hiraikotsu embeded in her back, "How dare..." Suddenly Sango's face softened as she fell to the ground, "Thank you...."

---------End Flashback----------

 

Inuyasha spat blood in Koga's face before he tackled him, "You know, if your gonna talk shit, make it some good shit!" Inuyasha took the time to quickly strike Koga repeatedly in the face before he used Koga's body as a spring board to avoid the blast of purification energy that collided instead with the dazed Koga. His shreak filled the air as his chest wound was significantly increased. Quickly Inuyasha rushed at the yami-miko that had once been his mate, before she could throw up a barrier he was within stricking distance, "Shankon tetsuseru" Inuyasha roared as he brought his claws down on her sholder. Her warm blood stained his hand as he brought his hand up again in a quick swipe that ripped apart her haiori as her torso began to gush blood, "I-I-Inu-Inuyasha....h-h-how...could...you..." She hopped to play on the feelings that he still harbored for her. Yet the pure look of hate in his eyes was not what she'd expected, and his reponce didn't help much more, "You killed my mate...So, I'm going to repay the favor."

 

-----------Flashback---------

 

"You killed my mate...So, I'm gonna repay the favor!!" Miroku yelled as he raised Sango's sword above his head as he stood right above Ayame's unconcious form. "NO!!" Inuyasha yelled as he instinctively swiped his claws at the offending hand. Miroku's cry of pain filled the air as the blood of Miroku stained Inuyasha's hands and claws. Miroku fell to the floor clasping his severed hand, "I-I-Ironic i-i-sn't i-i-it In-In-Inuyasha? T-T-That the ver-very hand th-that once he-held m-m-my ka-ka-kazanaa, shou-should now be re-re-removed?" Inuyasha looked away as Miroku showed him the severed appendage. A flash of white caught Inuyasha's eyes just as he was sent reeling into the air by the force of the right hook that connected with his chin. Spinning in mid air Inuyasha was able to land safely on his legs as he shook his head to make the world stop spinning. There before him, golden eyes looking more cold than ever stood the great lord of the west Sesshomaru. "What the hell...not you too..." Sesshomaru mearly kept his mute and stoic expression, "Draw your blade." Inuyasha gave his brother a sad look as he drew the tetsusaiga that transformed into the gleaming fang that had ensured the safety of himself and all those he had cared for. Before he could even raise the weapon in a defensive position Sesshomaru took the offensive. A Sharp pain coursed through Inuyasha's left side as he was sent a good few feet backwards from the force of the negative youki that poured from the tokijin. Using the folds of his haiori as a parachute to stop in his progress of flying head first into the nearest tree. No sooner had he landed that he managed to dodge another fierce swipe from Sesshomaru's blade. He had no choice, before his older brother could gaurd he swept up in a fierce uppercut, using his claws to deal more damage. Sesshomaru however seemed unaffected by the injury, "You are weak little brother." Inuyasha sighed as he stood to reveal his true intention, "You are not my brother. Though you may have his body my brother died when he lost to your parasetic contol, as a result you are not aware of my true intentions, something that Sesshomaru would have seen in an instant." As Inuyasha rose he gripped his trophy tighter, Sesshomaru seethed with fury. "Return my tensaiga you filthy hanyou."

Inuyasha opened his eyes just as Sesshomaru shot a wave of negative youki at him he let go of the tensaiga so that the negative youki obliterated the blade of life. Before the energy could do the sameto him he jumped over the blast as he raised the tetsusaiga, "As I said, you are not my brother. And as such yopu will die before the hands of my tetsusaiga." Sesshomaru however was not threatened as he prepaired to sent a final blast of youki at his younger brother, "I think not, you shall be the one to die by my blade of death. DIE HANYOU!!" Sesshomarubellowed as he shot the gathered blast of nagative youki at his midair brother, "I think not! BAKRYUHA!!" The blades of light shot out and connected with the negative youki of Sesshomaru's blast. For a moment it looked as though Sesshomaru's attack would prove triumphant, but just as quickly the blades of light enfused with the negative youki creating a swirl of vortexes that collided with Sesshomaru's body at a force so powerful that Inuyasha felt it from his place in the air. Sesshomaru's cry of pain filled the air just as an explosion rocked the very earth itself. Landidng in the crater that had once been the place were Sesshomaru stood.

All that was left were bits and peices of fluff that had belonged to to mokomoko-sama. Inuyasha winced in pain as a shard of the tokijin became imbedded in his foot. Inuyasha had just removed the shard when he heard the battle cry, no sooner did he turn that Sango's sword became imbedded in his collar bone. Inuyasha cried out in pain as the blade was torn from his collar bone only to be stuck in his stomach. Inuyasha coughed up blood as the sword began to penetrate his stomach even deeper. Looking up he came face to face with Miroku, who had managed to retreve Sango's blade, which currently resided in his stomach. "M-M-Miroku?" Inuyasha gasped as Miroku drove the blade in even deeper, "Why...Why WON'T YOU JUST DIE YOU FUCKING HALF BREED!!" Inuyasha's eyes snapped open at Miroku's cry of desperation, Miroku would never say a thing like that, "Y-Your n..no-t...M-Mi-Miro-Miroku" MIroku smiled as he drove the blade in deeper, "No...But since I look like him I don't think you haver it in you to kill me." Much to Miroku's surprise Inuyasha began to laugh, "What's so fucking funny?!" This however only made Inuyasha laugh harder. As he met Miroku's gaze Miroku couldn't help the fear that coursed through his body. "It...Its just that...Your so naive..." Miroku took a step back as Inuyasha took a step closer, "I-I...Mean Just cause you look like him..." Inuyasha placedhis hands on the swords' handle as he began to pull it out, "Doesn't mean that I won't kill you. As far as I'm concerned Miroku is dead, you just stole his body, and stealing is a crime..." Inuyasha slowlyapproached the fear stricken Miroku, "A crime..That is punishable...BY DEATH!!" Inuyasha roared as he slashed Miroku cross horazontly as blood splashed his already blood soaked clothing."Rest in peace my friend...I hope that you too can forgive me."

 

---------End Flashback-------

 

Before she could register what he said, Inuyasha had Koga by the neck hanging in the air as he flexed his claws, "DIE WOLF-SHIT!! SAISHU KITSUKER.."

"NOOOOO!!!" Kagome yelled as she unleashed a spiritual purification arrow at Inuyasha. Inuyasha let go of Koga as he leapt up into the air to avoid the arrow. Needless to say Inuyasha dodged the arrow. Still, the arrow did hit a mark, Koga was sent flying into the tree as he lay pinned just as Inuyasha had been when Kagome had met him seven years ago. Kagome's anguished cries sounded shrilly over the howling wind. Inuyasha stood by the last body to be burried. He carresed Ayame's cold cheeck one more time before he slowly lifted her body to place her in her grave just on the top of the small hill. Inuyasha withdrew Ayame's blade as he sunk it into the ground just above where her resting place would be. Inuyasha carefully placed Ayame's body in the hole that would be her final resting place. A single tear rolled down his cheek, he didn't even bother to whipe it away. He had never been one to show his emotions. But, this was no time to put on an act. Inuyasha sighed shakedly asd he began to fill the hole with dirt. He had just finished filling the grave when he turned to leave, "Farewell...my love."

Kagome watched as Inuyasha began to walk away. He had let her live, but for what? Koga was dead. Inuyasha believed she was dead as far as he was concerned. She had no family, and her only family couldn't be reached without the jewel. But that had already been used to restore Japan to its original beauty. Kagome whiped a tear away as she began to stand. A glimmer caught her eye, taking a look she saw the blade that Inuyasha had sunk into the ground just above where he had burried the young wolf-hime. Kagome took shaky steps towar the grave. Finally reaching it she collapsed on the ground, "I-I-I-I'm I'm S-S-So-Sorry!!"She sobbed as she lay on Ayame's grave. Looking up to the blade she was strartled, looking back at her wasn't her reflection, but rather the face of the young wolf-hime that rested there, 'Be not afraid...I shall not hurt you.' Kagome's eyes widdened when she heard the voice. "H-H-How..." A smile graced the features of Ayame, 'I am just here to tell you that you must do what is right.' Kagome didn't speak as she walked over to the blade and ripped it out of the earth. "Thank you..." She whispered into the wind as she drove the blade into her chest. The last thing she saw was Inuyasha standing over her. A mixture of sadness and pitty on his face. Kagome smiled as she felt her life force begin to fade, "Thank you...Ayame." Inuyasha's eyes widdened as he knelt by Kagome,"Kagome...?" Kagome turned to face him, yet all she could see was darkness, using the last of her strength she wispered the words she known were always true, "Farewell, my love." With that Kagome closed her eyes and let the darkness take her to hell, to the one place that she belonged.

Inuyasha closed his eyes as Kagome died before his very eyes. Inuyasha stood and began to walk away into the setting sun. the clouds had parted to make way for the setting sun. Inuyasha began his path back to the village. His time was not yet, his children must be cared for and raised. Only after he had ensured their safety could he find peace in the embrace of death. The trees swonned in the breeze, and they watched as the dejected hanyou walked away, to live a life where he was dead and to die a death that was worth living for.

I want to thank all those who have read my story and have reviewed. I would aslso like to thank those who have just read it. Though the ones that have reviewed have my deepest thanks.

Hentai_Chick (MM.Org): Thanks girl...Uhm I'm Guessing you love lemons then.

 

Cloud Strife 237: Thanks dude. Thanks, I'll try to write faster, but as any author will tell you, wrtiting isn't as easy as it seems. Many things can interfear such as Writers block, lack of inspiration, lack of sleep, caffine, food, water, bitching of your parents to get of the computer and all that shit can really mess with an authors mind. But Thanks for your review.

 

Freely SPEAKING: Thanks, yes chapter 1 was probably my best chapter...I think as soon as I'm done I'll go back to the previous chapters and edit them, make them longer and probably better. But I don't know yet...Anyway thanks for your review and high opinion of my story.

 

StarcatcherAD: YAY! EA is back...sadly I think this chapter was a disapointment to her. I know she's probably mad that I went easy on Kags. But I did kill Koga with fierce irony. Plus I believe that though Kagome is cruel towards Inu, in regards to the sits, I don't believe she's evil. She's just stupid. Plain and simple. She's the kind of idiot that doesn't know love if it came up to her and danced naked. THANXS FOR YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORT LOVE YA UBER LOTS!!

 

Drake Clawfang (MM.Org): Thanks for your review. No Kags didn't die that chapter, but she did on this one. Actually now that you think about it the people in the backgrounds are all look alikes. But eh, it saves the artists time and money, so eh. Thanks for your review.
