InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Never Coming Home ❯ Oneshot ( Chapter 1 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Priestess Kagome breathed in a deep, shaking breath. In her slender hand was the Shikon Jewel, the impure demon treasure that she was to purify.
She cast a mournful look at her best friend and lover, Inuyasha. Smiling sadly, she reached a hand out and ran it over his cheek. "Kagome..." he choked out, pulling her to his chest.

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
but she could try

"Oh, Inuyasha." she cried as she felt him grip her white kimono top. "I-If I don't, a demon could get its hands on it. Either die purifying the Shikon Jewel or be killed by the demon that steals it. I can feel their prescence. The barrier won't hold forever." she told him. "Either way I die." Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha. He bent down to kiss her softly.

"Just remember this, Inuyasha. I died loving you, and I always will."

At the end of the world
or the last thing I see
you are
never coming home
never coming home
Could I? Should I?


"Kagome...." Inuyasha whispered. "I love you too." With a final kiss, she stood up. "Stand back." she told him. Grasping the glowing jewel in both hands, Kaogme began to chant.
The jewel's aura engulfed her. Her hair whipped around her face.

A bright light appeared at her throat.

Her soul.

"Sacred Jewel of Four Souls." she chanted firmly, yet softly. "I sacrifice my soul to you."


And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever
Ever....

The bright pink light shot out of her throat. Kagome went limp, and the jewel rolled to the ground. "Kagome!" he cried, catching her body before it hit the ground.
He hugged her close to his chest, as if she might break of he let her go. Carefully, fearfully, he felt her pulse.

Inuyasha cried out in agony.

She was dead.

Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
she dies

"No!" he yelled in pain. "NO! Kagome!" he held onto her body tighter, hoping somehow she might come back.

"Kagome! Don't leave me! I need you! I love you!"
Inuyasha cried more than he ever had in his life. This was too painful. Kagome was the only one who accepted him, loved him, as he was. A half demon and a priestess.

The villagers had always thought it wouldn't last, that their love was nonexistant. They had often told him to stay away from her, that he might taint her with his lowly half demon heritage. Only two other villagers, Sango and Miroku, accepted him. But there was always a bit of suspicion and distrust for the young half demon that they kept to themselves.

Kagome didn't have any suspicion or distrust for him. Only love and kindness.

But now...she was dead. There was no one left.




At the end of the world
or the last thing I see
you are
never coming home
never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
And all the ghosts that are never gonna haunt me

If I fall
If I fall (down)


Inuyasha couldn't take the pain. It felt like his heart was being crushed. His Kagome was dead. He head no more reason to live.

Smiling sadly, he unsheathed the sword at his waist, Tetsusaiga. "Do me one more favor." he pleaded the sword.
Quickly, he plunged it into his heart.

Inuyasha felt the stinging pain of the blade coming out of his chest, the warm blood seeping down his shirt.

Quickly, he gathered Kagome's body to his chest, kissing her forehead softly. "We'll see each other soon." he whispered to her.
His vision was blurring quickly at the blood loss. His breathing was getting more and more labored.

Until he breathed no more.




At the end of the world
or the last thing I see
you are
never coming home
never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
And all the ghosts that are never gonna....
