InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Prologue - A Test of Memory (The Coming of Rinkatsu) ❯ Exeunt Kagome from this Play ( Chapter 36 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Inuyasha was laying on the stones of the castle floor. He was a bit dazed and confused as the smoke cleared from around his face. He helped himself off the floor and the smoke cleared a bit, giving him a good view of where he was. The castle was completely gone. Only a few remains of the walls stood, but nothing else.

The smoke blew away from the ground as well, revealing his comrades... along with Kikyo and Kagome, who were also in a similar state as he was. He could also see Rinkatsu, Tetsusaiga in hand, completely unaffected by the blast. He was smiling.

"Inuyasha, you damn near killed your friends! I didn't know you cared so little about them..." said Rinkatsu as Inuyasha ran over to see Kagome. "Ah, you've noticed our new participators... they were imprisoned in a room above this one, so they feel through the floor and down here... luckily for me, I saved Kikyo from the blast with one of my magical barriers, but by doing so, I also helped you and your pathetic friends. Quite annoying, really, because things would be so much easier right now..."

Inuyasha was barely listening to Rinkatsu, he was too busy helping Kagome. He was shaking her and calling her name.

"Kagome! Please wake up! Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha.

Rinkatsu levitated across the floor to Inuyasha. "You're too busy caring for this nuisance to pay any attention to me..." Rinkatsu was annoyed and frustrated by this. "She has been nothing but trouble for me."

Kagome began to wake up and was trying to say Inuyasha's name, but Rinkatsu interrupted her. Using his telepathy, Rinkatsu brought Kagome off the ground and floated her infront of him. She was weak and almost limp and still trying to wake up, but she was fully aware of the fact that Rinkatsu was in front of her.

"I think now is a good time for you to die." Rinkatsu stabbed Kagome right in the heart and then threw her back at Inuyasha.

"Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha as he grabbed her into his arms.

She was losing blood fast and was beginning to get cold and lose color in her body.

"Inu... Inu...ya..."

"Don't talk Kagome! Save your strength." Inuyasha's eyes began to water... he knew there was no hope for her...

Kagome shook feverishly... she kept trying to say something. Finally, she worked up the strength to say it. She used her hand to bring Inuyasha's ear closer to her.

"Inu...Inuyasha..... I...I.. love.....y-yo....you......" She stopped speaking. Her breathing slowed to a stop. She was dead. Inuyasha began to cry.
