*************************************************************************** *************
I don’t recall much from the past few days, but I do remember having a splitting headache and killer stomach pains. I thought at first I was menstrual but then come to find out I wasn’t. Earlier this morning, Sango made me leave so I could go to my time to see a doctor. I agreed mainly because I nearly fell over during on of Keade’s preaching. I remember my stomach pinching me and then it felt like a thousand knives were piercing into me. And after that I sort of blacked out for what Sango said was two days, and after that she forced me to my time, of course to InuYasha’s approval of my health. Actually he followed me.
I walk towards my shrine. I know he is still in there. He’s waiting for me.
I told him he couldn’t accompany me to the doctor, but he could wait for me at home. And I know he wants to know what happened. He always uses the “you’re my mate and I want to know what's wrong” yea me and him mated on my eighteenth birthday. Now I’m twenty and completely happy traveling back and forth through the times. Any way now he's waiting for me in my room.
I walk up through the doors and to my room. I see his beautiful face looking nervously as he awaited my return. I opened the door.

“Kagome ...you’re back ...what's wrong?” he looked at me sadly, his eyes prayed for everything to be ok
“Everything....is fine why?” I lied to him. I think he knows to.
“I know you; I know you’re lying to me. What's wrong?”
“InuYasha please its no big deal.”
‘No big deal that with in the week I’ll die and never see him again.’ I think trying to hold in my tears, if he sees them he’ll know.
“Kagome, what you don’t think I have known you long enough to know when you’re lying to me?”
“InuYasha I ..... Well look I uhh ....InuYasha I want to tell you ...really I do but I...”
“Then tell me Kagome”
“Look we need to go, Sango asked me to come back right after my check up”
“Fine” he gruffed and we left for the Warring States

*********************************************************** ******************************
We arrived there late that afternoon. Sango and Miroku greeted me with the usual hug and we missed you. Sango suggested we go to the hot springs and I agreed. I missed the relaxing feeling and the thought of getting away from the guys for a moment.
We entered the warmth of the water.

“So Kagome wanna tell me what the result was?”
“Doctor said all the stress and pain has been the cause.”
“Well what's going to happen? I mean what's the damage?”
“Fatal”

“Kagome-Chan, it can’t be... you ...you can’t die... its not ... the journey isn’t over...
You... you can’t ... what’ll ...what’ll we do with out you... and InuYasha...
He’ll die...with out...you” Sango cried in between words.

I didn’t mean to make her cry, honestly, but she asked, I wasn’t about to lie to the woman who’d become my sister. Tears roll down my cheeks too. I knew I couldn’t stop crying. We sat there for almost an hour trying to recoup before returning.
We left the warmth of the water and dressed and left in utter silence.
We reached the camp to see the guys sitting in silence as well.

InuYasha stared at the embers of the fire; he looked solace and angry all at the same time.
He picked at the pallets of grass and tossed them into the fire.

“Hey InuYasha” I say trying to get his attention.
He grunted and refused to acknowledge my presence
“Hey, gunna go jump off a cliff now” I say in a desperate attempt but still had no response.
He stirred slightly and continued looking at the fire.
“Ok then I’m gunna go find Kouga and accept his offer to mate with him...”
“Whatever” he snapped
“InuYasha what is wrong with you?”
“Tell me”
“Tell you what?”
“What was wrong?”
“Whaddya mean?”
“You said you had to tell Sango the results ...now tell me”
“I can’t “
“And why the hell not”
“Because... ok how you want to remember me when I'm dead?”
“The way you are” he said sort of catching on.
“That’s why I'm not telling you” I say trying hard not to cry.
He looks up at me, he is sort of shocked but then again I don’t think he fully understood.

“Kagome, why didn’t you tell me? What's wrong?”
“They ... can, can we talk alone please?”
“Yes uhh climb on” he says gesturing me to get on my back.
Sango and Miroku gesture that its ok and I need to tell him.

************************************************************* **********
We traveled for almost an hour; well at least it felt like it to me.
Not that I had to complain, I was on his back, and I am happy.
We finally stop for a moment.
He sits me in his lap and holds me tight.

“Now Kagome, tell me what's wrong?” he said it so calmly I hate to brake his heart.
There was a long pause before I could begin.
“The doctors can’t figure out what the cause of it is. They say it’s from an emotional imbalance or something like that, the point is ...”

I stop I had begun to cry. InuYasha held me tighter as I calmed.

“Kagome, what's going on?”
“I’m ... I’m dying. They say I don’t have much to live; I should be dead by early morning. I’ve already lived months longer then I should have. I’m sorry I should have told you”
“When did you know?”
“About three months ago. I didn’t wanna tell you, I was afraid of how you would react.”
“Is there a cure?””No” I mutter silently
He held my tighter. I felt him crying on my shoulder,
I turned around to face him; I placed my hand on his cheek and lifted it up to match mine.
“I love you so much InuYasha, I never wanted to make you feel like that”
“Kagome, it’s not right, it can’t happen. Not like this”
I leaned closer and kissed him, it deepened, and I had to pull away before it got any further.
“I’m so sorry InuYasha”
“It’s not your fault, its mine I should have noticed when you were more seclusive,
I should have been able to help you”
“InuYasha, it’s not your fault, it’s no one’s. All that matters now is that we enjoy our time together.”
“I love you”
“I love you too”
*******************************************************
He carries me again, to a cave on the far side of the forest, one were no one can find us.
He held me in his arms, and I snuggled closer to him.
I felt a few silent tears falling on my shoulder once again.
I turn over and face him; tears were falling from his gorgeous eyes.
I wipe them away, and cup his chin.
“InuYasha, everything will be ok”
“No it won’t” he says crying I’d swear I have never seen him cry like this before.
“I’ll always be with you, no matter where I go, I’ll watch over you from my resting place, I’ll still take care of you, and if possible I’ll appear in spirit,”
“Wont be the same”
I begin crying, I can feel my death coming rapidly, and I can tell InuYasha senses it.
He holds me tighter,
“Remember when I promised to always follow you?”
“Yes”
“This counts”
“InuYasha no, you can’t. Please don’t. You have to live”
He ran his fingers through my hair...
“I have to, I refuse to live a single day with out you”
He kissed me and we fell into a sleep.

Normal POV
****************************************
The gloomy sun rose to greet the depressed moon.
Neither pausing for a moment as the other erupted into an even darker day.
The birds were singing a depressed lullaby as though they knew she had died.
Other then the sad melody, everything was still, everything seemed dead.
InuYasha awoke with a shock that he had somewhat expected.
Kagome lay there, dead. His beloved was lying cold and stiff next to him.
She looked so peaceful and calm. She looked as though she were still in a dream.
A tear trickled down his cheek as he picked her up and carried her to the Goshinbuku where he buried her. He sat at her grave crying.
Sango and Miroku had heard his pain filled howl when she died and they knew that it had happened. They didn’t bother to look; they knew where she would be.

He walked back to the glum village.
Sango and Miroku gave him understanding and sympathetic looks.
Miroku walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder

“Sorry, we’re really gunna miss her”
“Me too.” He said with tears trickling.
Sango was next to walk over, she hugged him as she cried on his shoulders.
Shippoe didn’t understand what was going on.
“Where’s Kagome, what happened? “He cried.
“Oh Shippoe” Sango cried. She had forgotten Kagome was now Shippoe’s mother.
“Where’s mama, what happened? Why isn’t she here?” he cried so hard.
Sango was crying now, she was holding him close.
“Shippoe when you’re older, we’ll tell you” Miroku cried.

***************************************************
It was ten years to the very day, the anniversary of his loves death.
He went to the gravesite. He sat by the stone and cried for her.
“I love you so much, Kagome” he yelled to the darker heavens
A small breeze blew past with a soothing scent of lavender.
“Kagome, you always smelled like lavender.” He said reminiscing about the happier times.
He felt a calming hand placed on his shoulder, he expected one of his friends.
“InuYasha” came the soothing voice.
He turned around to see the beautiful chocolate eyes of his lost love.
“I told you I would always be with you.”
She said kissing him before disappearing.
*************************************************
