InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Death, No Reason To Forget Love ❯ The Death Of Kagome ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha! I only own the story! But wouldn't it be good if I did own the show? Or the manga? Hmm… Anyway, I hope you enjoy! This kinda took me a long time to write. But besides my meaningless rambling, Inuyasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi.

Death, No Reason To Forget Love

Chapter One: The Death of Kagome

<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>*<*>

"K agome…" Kagome's mother whispered to her daughter who was lying motionless in the hospital bed, gently shaking her arm, trying to awake Kagome from her unconscious state. "Kagome!" she said a little more loudly, looking over to the IV then to the heart monitor, watching the numbers, along with jolts on the heart meter, lower.

"Mom, is Kagome getting any better?" Souta asked, the door to the room creaking open as he slowly shut the door behind him, letting it click before he turned, Mother smiling as she saw that clutched in Souta's hands were a small bouquet of flowers.

Mother only shook her head, bringing her damp blue handkerchief up to her eyes, lightly dabbing them as Souta walked over to his mother, placing the flowers down at the foot of Kagome's bed.

After what sounded like either a moan or a not understandable mumble from Kagome, her mom reached down to the foot of the bed and grabbed the flowers and wrapped her daughters hands around them, making it so that Kagome was holding the plastic wrap where the stems were, her strength slowly lessening. "Mom…" Kagome's voice was soft, sounding like she was having pain with every breath she took, every word she spoke. "Tell Inuyasha… I loved him… I'm… Sorry." she said, her eyes slowly falling shut.

Kagome's mom could only nod in a response, tears rolling down her face. She knew that her daughter had loved Inuyasha, and she was just happy that Kagome had finally told her.

The heart monitor continued to slowly beep, a few moments later turning into a single beep, alone with a simple straight line. The beautiful flowers in Kagome's hands… Simply wasted as her fingers went limp, the bouquet falling to the floor. However, there were just two flowers left in her hand, two roses. A red rose and a white rose. On his mothers instruction, Souta ran out of the room to go get the nurse as Kagome's mom sat as still as she could, grasping her daughters free hand and squeezing although she knew she would not be getting a squeeze back.

"Oh, dear!" the nurse shouted as she ran in, quickly checking Kagome's pulse with her two fingers, then putting her ear down to Kagome's chest, failing to get a heartbeat. "I'm… I'm sorry, Ms. Higurashi." the nurse said, bowing to Kagome's mother who had finally moved, now standing and having her back turned to the bed, sobbing lightly as she looked out into the window.

Although they were on a high level floor in the hospital, on the ground below she could see the green and white colors of the middle school uniform for the girls, along with the noticeable red bow. But the outfits she saw… Were worn by Kagome's three best friends who were walking down the street laughing, Yuka, Ayumi and Eri, along with her other friend Hojo wearing his black school outfit.

'Poor things,' she thought to herself. 'They're Kagome's best friends… Always worried about her… But now she's in the hospital, for real this time, and sadly, she won't be coming out alive…' Ms. Higurashi then started to cry harder once again, excusing herself before walking out of the room, Souta following her out.

"Mom, are you going to be alright?" Souta asked, pulling on her sleeve.

"Yes, Souta. I'll be fine…" Ms. Higurashi tried to say, forcing a smile on her face although Souta could tell she was feeling horrible inside. Souta then hugged his mother, tears running down his own face as their embrace ended. "First Granpa, then Kagome…"

The door then creaked open again, the nurse sticking her head out. "Excuse me, but… Would it be okay if you guys leave? We still need to do some things," she said, stepping out of the room with the two roses in her hand, reaching out her arm to give them to Kagome's mother.

She took the flowers, hesitating at first as she hugged them to her chest, shaking her head as she gave back the white rose, keeping the red rose for herself. "No, this rose… Keep it with Kagome." the nurse then nodded, walking back into the room and shutting the door behind her.

"Let's go home, Souta."
