(Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha)

 

 

That day he'd sworn his heart had finally shattered as she leapt into the trees. He searched for her. Called for her, gotten sick and nearly died all in the sake of trying to find the woman he lost. Again. He sniffed. The air smelt clean here. No scent of the jasmine and forest smell he was longing for. Then again she could have gone ho….there!

Inuyasha leapt up into the canopy of the woods. His nose telling him where to go. Stopping near the well he saw a blur of black and blue. It stopped in front of him.

 

“Why have you been following me?” Kagome snapped her ears falling back on top her head. “Why've you been running away?” They stared at each other for a moment. Shockingly Kagome grabbed the chain of beads around his neck and snapped them.

“There.” She began to walk again only to have Inuyasha her to his chest.

 

That rich scent permeated his senses. Gods how he missed it. A knee connected to his groin and again he met the dusty earth, sucking in ragged breathes through his teeth. “Kag…Kagome…dammit….” He felt like he was going to hurl and pass out at the same time. Wave after wave of ebbing pain shot through his lower belly. Yet, Kagome stayed pensive and quiet watching him with a cold look.

 

“I don't have time for this.” He heard her boot clad feet trample off and then silence as she took flight Coughing back a few tears induced by pain, he followed. He had to tell her. He had to make her understand. He ran into her causing both of them to fall into a crouching position on the ground, his a bit more wobbly than hers. An after effect of the brutal treatment of his sore testes.

 

“Kagome we need to talk” She rose and looked at him through lowered lashes. “About?” “Us…” Kagome's heart thudded in mad anger “There is no US as you put it, only a you and an I. Quite frankly, I'm grateful that everything I held for you has died. It left a gapping hole in my heart for a long time Inuyasha.”

 

That, the way she spoke his name. No longer was it laced with the hint of caring and love. It sounded like…Kikyo. Is this what he had done? So much pain inside her pure heart had turned it cold because of his stupidity. As if to read his mind she threw at him the one thing that may have been his last resource. It was her tattered school uniform

 

“I was coming here to bury it, to bury the last of my feelings for you. I can't deal with you anymore Inuyasha. I can't go on constantly being in utter pain.” Bawling her fist to her sides, for the first time in 3 years she began to cry. “I dealt with you and Kikyo, then, I dealt with you coming to me after she left. I was pleased just being with you and not really considering the fact that I was just a replacement.” She lifted her eyes. They were a shade of violet with a blue slit in the middle of each. Her demon side wanted revenge.

 

“But I could never live with the fact that you could not accept what you were, and in that could not accept what I was when I found out.” Inuyasha looked at the rags he now held. They smell of lust and his and her scent. “But when you took from me, my innocence and on that very same moment tore away my heart and bound me to you for all eternity only to reject me later that evening….”

 

She shook with unshed tears… “And that is something I can never forgive you for.” As she lunged at Inuyasha, a few things went through his mind. Images of him and her entwined under the stars, Kagome's gentle laughter, her telling Inuyasha she loved him. Then he saw her clutching her stomach toppled over a brook and her gaze directly at him. “I thought you loved me!!” He remembered the sound of his hand meeting solid cheek, then her leaving.

 

“Oh Kagome…” He shut his eyes, grabbing hold of her out of midair. Kagome's glassy pupils locked onto him, water pouring from their depths. He captured her lips in a chaste kiss before gripped her tightly and stumbling back only to see blood pool at his feet.

 

“Kagome…” “I can't, not anymore. I won't feel anymore pain this way Inuyasha.” There was a dagger, the very same one she slew Kikyo with, buried between her breasts. “No, no, no Kagome ….” He took her in his arms and saw her shut her blue eyes.

“Gods no! I'm sorry, please Kagome...”

 

“…he's at the Goshinbu.” Inuyasha shook her lifeless body. He howled….the sound resonating through the forest. The Shikon pulsed in his pocket. He looked at the trinket. It was worth nothing to him now…. “Would you save her soul for one last chance?” The pink crystal beat like a heart. Its cadence reminding him off his love's lost life.

 

“Yes.” “Do as she commanded….leave her body and go to the Goshinbu.”

 

“I will.”
