`Thoughts'

“Speech”

“Kami Sama! I'm gonna be late!”

 

“Nee-chan! Your handbag!”

 

“Thanks Souta! Bye!”

 

Kagome opened the shoji screen door of her house and hurried across the courtyard. Pass the shrine and-

 

`What's that strange aura, familiar but-Naraku! Could he be here? No, it's coming from the well.'

 

Her date with Hojo forgotten, she ran to the shrine and opened the shoji screen door with one quick swipe of her arm. A purplish glow was being emitted from the bottom of the well.

 

`Why is his aura passing through the well?!'

 

The shikon shard in her pocket pulsed once.

Twice.

And broke out of the container, pierced through her handbag and flew towards the end of the well.

 

`The Shards! Must be the work of Naraku!'

 

Kagome reached the bottom of the well just as the shikon shards fell through.

 

 

 

~*~

 

 

Naraku fired a ball of miasma at Inuyasha, who was standing in front of the well, Inuyasha dodge it easily. The miasma directly impacted with Kagome, who caught the shikon shards and was flying together with it towards Naraku.

 

The miasma was purified just as it touched Kagome, but the shikon shards became slightly tainted as kagome fainted, her powers diminishing.

 

“Kagome! Kagome!”

`Is that Inuyasha? I need to tell him I'm okay, I nee…

“Kagome-sama!”

“Kagome! Kagome!”

 

 

~*~

 

AN: Hey. It's Inuyasha's mind POV now. :D

 

~*~

 

“Miroku! Bring her to Kaede's hut! Now!”

`You must stay alive Kagome…'

 

~*~

 

 

“Sesshomaru-sama! Wait for me!”

 

`This smell, it's the blood of the wench Inuyasha always have around. There is a poison mixed in her blood.'

 

Sesshomaru changed course and headed towards the well. Leaving Rin and his servants, Jaken and Ah-Un behind.

 

“Sesshomaru-sama!”

 

~*~

 

Inuyasha's companions were either lying on the floor trying to stand up or leaning against trees, trying to stay on their feet.

 

“Naraku. Why don't you play with me.”

 

“Sesshomaru, I knew it wouldn't take you long to get here.”

 

“Let's not waste time with pleasantries.”

 

“As you wish.”

 

Sesshomaru drew out Tokijin and fired his Dragon Strike at Naraku. Naraku retaliated with a strong ball of miasma, theirs attacks collided with a force that shook the earth, making everyone fall to their knees. Except Sesshomaru and Naraku.

 

As the Dragon Strike's power waned, Naraku's miasma began adding it to it's mass.

But Inuyasha used the last of his energy to counter the move with Tetsusaiga's Backlash Wave. Their combined power overpowered Naraku's miasma and went straight at his heart. The aftershock of the attacked hit him with a strong force but Sesshomaru stood still, feeling the miasma attack his body.

 

Naraku's scream was his last mark on the world of the living.

 

 

“Kagome…Be safe.”

 

Sesshomaru's attention turned from the dissipating body to his half-brother. The after-shock from the attack had killed everyone, and injured him and his half brother. But Inuyasha's previous wounds were killing him.

 

“Is that your wench?”

 

“The village…”

 

Sesshomaru fell to his knees as the miasma made it's way through his body.

`Where am I? Inuyasha…Inuyasha!'

 

Kagome sat upright in her futon.

 

“Kagome you're awake. Here, eat this.”

 

Kaede handed her a small pill and a cup of water.

 

“No. I must find Inuyasha. Gomen.”

 

And she bolted from the room.

 

 

~*~

 

 

`Dead.

 

Everyone was dead.'

 

Kagome knelt beside Inuyasha's lifeless body and brushed a lock of his silver hair from his forehead.

 

`Why didn't he let me stay with them?'

 

She went over to the body of Shippo, picked him up and brought him to her chest.

 

`He was so young, he had a future.'

 

`Sango, hope you and Kohaku both find peace in afterlife.'

 

`Miroku, may Kami-sama let you have a future with Sango.'

 

`Kirara, stay with Sango, make sure she is happy.'

 

Kagome stood over the remains of Naraku and bent to pick up the almost completed Shikon Jewel.

 

`This stupid jewel, destroys everything in it's path.'

 

A sad smile reached her lips.

 

`I will not allow you to be complete.'

I could feel nothing but the soft caress of a gentle touch. I could see nothing but the infinite darkness. My senses were failing me, and yet nothing seemed clearer to my consciousness, than the sweet scent of orchids and jasmine that wrapped around my senses…my being.

Slowly, I found myself opening my tired eyes to the world around me; the dark haze lifting from my vision as everything cleared. As soon as I blinked awake, the searing pain that engulfed my body also became clear.

Every part of me ached…from my weary muscles spreading to my immovable limbs. I had begun to wonder how someone such as myself had gotten into such a condition. The musty scent of earth and fresh rain filled my nostrils, and I realized that I was lying in a wet cave.

Humid. Wet. Dirty.

Inuyasha's last words suddenly replayed itself in my mind.

“Kagome…Be safe.”

 

 

The miasma was purified, but it still hurt to move. The sound of dripping water traveled to my ears, the cold seeping into my bones. The scent that clung onto me was calming and soothing. It made me wander if it was a spell, it certainly did not feel like one.

 

A shuffling to my right proved me right. A frail feminine figure sat near the entrance of the cave. A human. Was it Inuyasha's wench?

 

I had not felt the true extent of my injury until now. As I struggled to sit up, I felt white hot pain tear at my chest. Hearing my movements, she turned around.

 

She immediately hurried to me, I tried to turn away and growl at her to stay away but found myself choking as I tried to get the words out. But I think she understood my indifference towards her from my eyes or my irritated aura.

 

Perhaps I overestimated her, she was totally ignorant of my irritation and tended to my wounds all the same, offering a cup made of an interesting color and material to my lips.

 

I let thirst override my pride as I let the welcomed taste of water pour down my throat.

 

 

~*~

 

 

“You want to know why I saved you?”

 

Startled by her question, I choked on the water.

 

Apologizing, she took the cup from my lips and set it on the ground.

 

“You were the only left alive. Now, you are the only reason I live. I live to help you. The only one left.”

 

“Aren't you alive?”

 

A small, sad smile reached her lips, making her look almost angelic, but the agony and unshed tears that was evident in her aura.

 

“I'm alive in body but not in soul, I have left the world.”

 

Seeing her pain, I blurted out the only plausible solution.

 

“Why don't you just leave this world.”

 

“I stay for you.”

 

“I am sorry but your sentiments are sadly wasted. As touched as I am at your kindness, I would have healed without your aid.”

 

“I can help you recover faster so you can take care of Rin. She did not die. I did not see her corpse.”

 

`Suddenly remembering Rin, glad that I had left her back in the mountains. Where she was safe.'

 

`Her eyes shone with pain and agony. I suddenly wish for her to relax and cry out all the pain and agony, tell her it will only get worst if she did not.'

 

`Her bond with those dead was obvious in the way she joked and played with them every time he sees them. To lose them in this manner must hurt.'

 

`I vaguely wondered what it would be like to lose Rin, I would ot like that to happen.

Not a pleasant thing.'

 

 

~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

 

 

As I opened my eyes to the world around me, memories of yesterday came pouring back in.

 

~----~----~

 

 

Kagome just sat there, hugging herself and rocking back and forth, her tears slipping down her cheek.

 

“Hey, you're not suppose to look.”

 

She attempted a smile, but found herself failing terribly.

 

“You do not have to try to look happy.”

 

“Don't you hate weeping girls?”

 

`It must have been Inuyasha that told her that, he hated her crying. That bastard. Getting himself seal up for 50 years by a miko who loved him onl to have another falling head over heel for him. Has he no sense of honor? He might not like humans but he did pity this particular human. Why does she accept the fact that Inuyasha will never love her?'

 

`Only his dishonorable half-brother will let another bear unrequited love for him.'

 

“I do not dislike them.”

 

I said, implying that I do not enjoy the company of weeping girls but will not scorn her for it.

 

“Thank you.”

 

~----~----~

 

 

 

`Where is she now?'

 

`The scent of her blood and her orchid and jasmine scent was easy to track, so the direction she went was easy to decipher.'

 

`She was headed to the grave of her second family.'
