A sad smile touched her lips as she allowed her fingers to trace the bare spot on the trunk of Goshinboku as she thought of her once hanyou friend. He had taken her future family from her, but it wasn’t exactly him that had done that. She knew that if she was able to free him from the spell he would forever blame himself for that incident however she wasn’t even sure that she could free him from the spell. In order to hold someone with his power it would have to be complex and tied to something important.
As those thoughts filtered through her mind she heard a noise from behind her and moved quickly, dodging a swipe from demonic claws as she did so. When her eyes met those of her attacker her gaze softened somewhat as she saw his glazed golden eyes looking into her own silvery-blue. She knew that his presence meant that Kikyo had ordered her death, even if Naraku was unsure of whom she was. Inuyasha pulled his hand back to strike once more and she dodged away as she noticed that Tetsusaiga remained sheathed at his hip instead of drawn into his hands for a fight.
The inu-hanyou continued to strike at her and she effortlessly dodged as she paid attention to his sluggish movements. He said no words as he mechanically seemed to try and take her down, though she could also feel the effects of the spell on him and how it tainted his entire being with darkness. That was most likely the reason he did not call upon his father’s sword in order to strike at her, it wouldn’t respond because his heart was purely intentioned.
The next time he came at her she stumbled a bit and knew that he’d hit her, but for some reason he stopped with his hand hanging in midair as she righted her footing and moved from within his range. A pained look crossed his face as some of the haze faded from his vision as he looked at her. “Kagome… help me… please. I can’t stop myself.”
Tears were slowly beginning to fall from his golden eyes as he fought to pull his arms back to his side. Kagome’s back went rigid for a moment before she nodded her understanding to his just as the haze returned to his eyes and he made to move at her again. Bangs fell in front of her silver eyes as she stood her ground and awaited his approach. Right as he reached her and jammed his claws forward she dropped down and shoved her own hand filled with purification into his chest.
The dog demon was thrown backwards and landed against the God tree with a loud crack as the pure energy began to sizzle along his skin. Twin wet trails cascaded down Kagome’s cheeks as she looked up and to the man she once loved as she slowly began to walk to his side. Dropping down next to she moved his head to lie in her lap as her energy continued to slowly kill him. Clear but pain filled golden eyes looked up into her own, as they slowly changed into a violet color and his breathing grew more ragged.
“You cry for me,” he murmured softly as he looked into her sad face.
“Because you are my friend, Inuyasha,” she whispered back to him, knowing that he could hear her.
“But after everything I’ve done…” he trailed off, not wanting to say it.
“Like Kohaku, it may have been your body, but I know that it wasn’t you. You were under Kikyo’s control.”
A half smile cocked his now human lips as blood slowly dripped from the side. They both knew that he didn’t have much longer due to her attack, and he wanted her to know how much she had meant to him. “I want you to know that I only went to Kikyo because I thought I’d lost you when I saw she was alive… I loved you Kagome, and I’m sorry that I always hurt you. I want you to take the Tetsusaiga so that, in a way, I can always protect you.”
One of his hands slowly moved and placed the sword, sheath and all, into one of her hands as his dark eyes slowly began to fade. More tears made their way down her cheeks as she finally gave into her grief over losing her friend and collapsed on top of his human body crying. Blood slowly coated her from where he had bled out where her energy had slammed into him.
That was how the others found her as they had rushed to the spot when they felt the rise in her holy powers. Her body was curled over his and she was crying, but when they arrived she looked up at them with sad before slowly shifting his head from her lap and rising to her feet and looking to Miroku. “The spell is broken and his spirit is free, bring him to the village so that we may put him to rest properly.”
“Hai Kagome-sama,” the monk said sadly as he stepped forward and Kirara transformed to carry the now human body to the village so that he could be prepared for the afterlife.
Kagome smiled sadly before turning to Youko, “will you please go and inform Sesshoumaru that Inuyasha has passed and his body will be put to rest?”
“Hai,” the fox demon agreed before he disappeared from the clearing.
As they all headed back to the village Kagome returned to the God tree to place her hand on the spot where the bark was missing. Hiei noticed that she remained behind and returned to her side as he looked at her. “You are upset.”
“I just had to kill a person that I spent a year of my life with… I wish there was another way, but I saw none and he asked me to help.”
“He asked for help?” the fire demon asked curiously.
“I stumbled and he was about to strike me, but he stopped himself mid move and asked me to help him because he couldn’t stop himself. He knew it was me, I know because he gave me his sword so that he could always protect me.” Tears were streaming down her face as she turned to look at her mate and her clenched at the thought of losing him too. The image was too much and she collapsed to her knees as sobs began wracking her body. Hiei dropped down as well and pulled his female into his arms in an attempt to comfort her.
Pink flames danced along his skin as his body began to turn to ash and the two miko along with the monk started to pray over the body as it disappeared. After the flames died out and the ashes were collected into a jar Kagome handed them over to the demon lord. Sesshoumaru nodded and slipped the urn into his haori in order to place it in his family tomb; the hanyou deserved that much for what all he had accomplished in his life.
As night was finally fully upon them they all turned to go to bed, but Kagome halted Hiei’s progress as she asked him to accompany her on a walk. A few stray tears slid from her eyes as they walked through the surrounding forest until they came upon a secluded hot spring. A small smile touched her lips as she turned to him and tugged on his belt. “Join me for a bath, please?”
“You brought me out here for a bath?”
“And because I just wanted to spend some time with you; you are, after all, my mate,” she said with another little smile.
“Very well,” he gave in as he began to undress as she did so too. Both slipped within the spring and she moved toward him so that she could be within his arms. So many thoughts were racing through her mind, but she pushed them all back so that she focus on the here and now. Inuyasha had passed on by her hand, but Hiei was here with her now. The man she loved was right in front of her, and for now she wanted to think of nothing but the future she would have here in the past.
Tentatively she reached up and touched her lips to his before he took over and deepened the kiss. The miko was all too happy to hand control over to him as she simply melted into his arms and allowed herself to be surrounded in the feelings he invoked in her.

Kagome angrily growled under her breath as she easily made her way to the base of the God tree. With a sigh she welcomed the peaceful feeling that enveloped her as she set eyes on the tall tree. She hadn’t meant to blow up at Hiei, but she also didn’t like that he was trying to tell her what to do. While she understood that he was mainly worried for her safety and that of his unborn child, there were better ways to go about protecting her. Truth be told had she actually been focused on her surroundings she probably wouldn’t have been taken unaware and would have been able to properly defend herself.A sad smile touched her lips as she allowed her fingers to trace the bare spot on the trunk of Goshinboku as she thought of her once hanyou friend.

It was two days later and the sun was just beginning to set as several people gathered around a body set to be burned. Kagome was among them and she had donned the traditional miko garb for the funeral, and next to her stood Sesshoumaru in his normal white outfit complete with armor. All the others stood around as well with Kaede officiating the ceremony before Kagome took a step forward and with a sad smile a pink flame enveloped her hand as she set it to Inuyasha’s still form.//\\

Not as long as I may have liked, but it’ll have to do for a quick update. Hopefully next time will be a better as well as longer chapter. I hoped you enjoyed!
