Quickly getting to his feet, he went into the dark room. Once he spotted the sleeping form of Kagome, he sat down next to her, watching her. His pain filled eyes not blinking, not wanting to do anything but keep her safe. This time he would protect her.

"I'm so sorry Kagome," he whispered, "Please forgive me...."

Soon his eyes began to droop and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

Chapter Twenty-eight: Alone

The days seemed to come and go like years for Inuyasha. He would spend his days running around, releasing all of his pent up emotions. It was all too much for him, Kagome had not awaken yet, and everyone was worried for her health. Depression consumed him as he stayed up all night long watching the young maiden that he so desperately longed to hold in his arms.

But how could he ever forgive himself for what he almost had done to her? Miroku and Sango told Inuyasha everything that had been unclear and hazy to his memory. He'd lost control and went on a killing bindge. Grant it that the only people that died were Naraku and his demon incarnets, but he had inflicked potential bodily harm on Miroku and attacked Kaede and Sango, not to mention almost killing the one that he wanted to love.

Inuyasha recalled everything that Naraku had told him. Kagome's innocence was used to make her think that Inuyasha didn't care if she lived or not, but that wasn't the truth. He never blamed Kagome for her actions, she couldn't control what she was doing for the most part. He knew that Naraku had tried to do the same thing to Inuyasha and it almost worked, but it didn't. To Inuyasha's disadvantage, no matter what happened, he felt that either way he was going to loose Kagome.

Each passing day the Inu-hanyou fell deeper into dispare and a severe depression consumed his soul. He said he would protect her, even if he hadn't said it to her directly, he still said it and in no way had he actually saved her from anyone. He couldn't escape the same hurt that filled his heart, he had failed her.

Sitting there on a sturdy branch of the god tree, he sulked. The sun was showing brightly through the green foilage. Birds sang their lovely sweet melodies as the butterflies danced carelessly across the blades of grass.

One week had passed and he stopped sleeping and he was very under nurished. Inuyasha was dying a little more each passing minute. Nothing seemed to make sense. Touching the blade that the old priestess recognized as the might Tetsusaiga, hung lifelessly in its sheath lost to the world and miraculously found in the very chest of Kagome, hidden by some unknown sourse.

Even though Naraku was dead, somehow he seemed to be the one holding the victory. Just like someone had told Inuyasha a long time ago; "It may seem like they've lost the battle, but in truth they've actually won the war.."

Inuyasha could slightly hear the laughter of children from the village as they played carelessly out in the open field. It just couldn't make him feel any worse. Would Kagome wake up? Would she ever forgive him? Could she ever love him again?

A cold breeze gently blew by, ruffling the hanyou's silver hair. Soon the long summer days would end and the fall would begin. Time had passed so quickly since she came into his life. At first she had brightened up everything, until Koga came and practically destroyed all the meanings of Inuyasha's happiness.

"You fucking bastard!" Inuyasha howled, "If I ever see your wimpy ass again, you dumb wolf, I'll rip you a knew one!"

Koga was many miles away, but Inuyasha knew that the wolf demon had heard him as clear as day and that's all that mattered in the just of it.

The hanyou's ears twitched as he heard the crunching of dead leaves and twigs in the distance. He sniffed the air, but he couldn't catch a hold of any scent besides his and the musky scent of the forest that surrounded him.

What he saw completely dumbfounded him. Kagome appeared out of the bushes, her hair fluttering in the wind as her outfit clung to her body. It was her black spaghetti strap shirt that left the eyes of the beholder to the imagination and the black skirt that merely seemed to barely keep itself attacked to her hips. ((did that make any sense? the outfit is the one Kag, wore in chapter six wher Inu and her shared their first kiss...^_^)) It came out to one of her knees and the other side laid at her ankle, he had seen her in this outfit before.

He would never admit it to her, but to him Kagome was just breath taking no matter what she wore, no matter what she looked like, she could always make him weak in the knees. She seemed to be looking for something, so he jumped from the tree and landed before her, his eyes staring into hers. When she saw him, a smile played on her face and she immediately went to him, embracing him, forgivng him.

Lost for words, all Inuyasha could do was hug her closely to his body, never wanting to let her go. Minutes seemed to pass before they released each other and they were engulfed by the comforting silence that played out.

"Inuyasha?" she whispered insecurity playing in her voice.

"I'm so sorry Kagome.." he apologized looking at her.

She reached out and gently touched his cheek and he leaned into her soft touch, placing his hand over hers.

"It's not your fault.." she replied as she rubbed her thumb across the rough skin on his cheek.

He couldn't believe that she had forgiven him, it was all too good to be true and something made his heart flutter, it all seemed like a pleasant dream. Not wanting this moment to end, Inuyasha dipped his head and caught Kagome's unsuspecting lips into a bittersweet kiss.

It felt as though someone was messing with the temperature of the forest around them as he snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her up against his body, deeping this emotion filled embrace.

Everything seemed to be in perfect harmony, the sky was like what Kagome said was "like a Monet painting." Inuyasha was in heaven until he felt her tense up in his grasp and he heard her muffled cry of pain and shock.

The kiss ended there and as he looked at her now lying on the ground before him, hatred filled her eyes along with pain and fear. The musky thick scent of blood was everywhere. Instantly he gazed down at his claws, they were covered in the dark red blood, Kagome's blood.

The birds were no longer singing their lovely melody, it was dead silent. Somehow the trees and everything else around them had disappeared. Only he and Kagome were there, surrounded by the hideous reality of darkness. A spot light, though a faint one was the only light, but it too was growing darker by the minute.

"How could you Inuyasha!" Kagome cried as her blood flowed from out her body.

"I didn't mean to!" he said frightenedly, "It's not my fault Kagome!"

"You tried to kill me once already Inuyasha," She replied, the clear tears falling from her pale face, "And you've just succeeded this time....I...I hate you Inuyasha!" and then she was gone.

Inuyasha cried out loudly as he jolted awake. He was covered in a cold sweat. Breathing heavily he looked around. Tha hanyou currently was still sitting on a branch of the Sacred tree, the birds had stopped singing and it had grown dark while he'd slept.

Holding his chest, his eyes darted around. Smelling the fresh aroma of food, the hanyou waited until his heart had stopped racing and gone back to normal before he decided to jump down from his perch and slowly making his way back to Kaede's hut.

'It had only been a dream.' He told himself, 'Then why did it feel so real? Why does it feel like I'm the one who wanted her to suffer? I want to be happy. I want to be with Kagome. Does the whole universe have to be against me all because of me being able to find some one who's struggled for my love?'

Entering the hut, Inuyasha didn't take a glance at anyone in the hut doing their own things. No, he went straight back to Kagome, sat down next to her in the darkness, and held her hand.

o.O <( '.')>

I've pulled a "Vanilla Sky" on you people and the first person to correctly guess where the dream started I will dedicate the next chapter to you!

So that's all of it for now...I know that this story is all sad and depressing, but it will get better, and there is acutal fluff coming up. I will update in a matter of days, two at the most. Please review and read my other story "My Revenge" you don't have to I'm just asking. Or you could just go and read something from Rosefire, which I heavily recommend. That person is truly talented and I love ever story that she's spent countless hours typing. That's all for today..

Next up is Chapter Twenty-nine: So close

HINT HINT!!!!! Krystal.
