Chapter 4: That eternity

Inuyasha was completely stunned. “What… What is this strange feeling? Why can’t I get Kagome out of my mind? And why is my heart screaming in pain? Like the times when… When she is in… In trouble… Could her life be threatened?”

Inuyasha looked at Kikyo; scared of his fears about Kagome. But then he forgot his love for a tiny second. It was because of what he saw.

Kikyo’s hair was all around her body, which was pulsing. She made a horrible sound: first a horrific growl, from the very bottom of her lungs. Her eyes were covered by her bangs. Then, there was light behind them. She pulled her head up, and revealed her black-and-red eyes (did you seen X-men? Well, like the ones Gambit has).

“A-hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!” This was the most horrible laugh he had ever heard; filled with hatret and… And with evil.

Kikyo got mad.

“Kikyo, stop! What are you doing to her!”

“Huh, you mean that little bitch of yours? How touching… Don’t worry, Inuyasha, she will be dead soon enough… And you WILL come to hell with me. No matter you want to or not. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, INUYASHA?”

Inuyasha couldn’t let out a single word. Kikyo… His past love… His first love… Crazy…

He collected all his strength, and wiped Kikyo out of his heart. He had to concentrate on Kagome. “If I don’t hurry, she’s gonna die…”

“LET HER GO!” He suddenly yelled, surprising Kikyo. She grinned.

“NEVERR! Don’t you get it, Inuyasha? You belong with me! Only to me! We’ll die together! You and me, alone, forever! LOVE MEE!”

Inuyasha tries to think of something desperately. Than a plan forms in his head… A horrible plan, but the only thing that could save Kagome’s life. The only thing with which he could distract and take control over Kikyo…

He walked towards her, tears stinging his eyes. Kikyo’s face showed surprise, but she didn’t move. Inuyasha reached her, and grabbed her hands. The air around her calmed down a bit, and the pulsing stopped. She looked in Inuyasha’s eyes. Inuyasha moved real close to her, and their faces were almost reaching.

“Kikyo…”

“Love me, Inuyasha, me alone…”

“Kikyo…” And he kissed her. The first tear escaped his eyes.

Kikyo was holding Inuyasha like her life was depending on him. In fact… It was.

Suddenly, she felt something in her back. Pain… Huge pain…

He stabbed her with his claws from her back, right threw her heart.

Kikyo broke the kiss, and looked desperately at Inuyasha. Tears of pain and of disappointment were falling from her eyes.

“Inu… Yasha… How could you…”

“Sorry, Kikyo… I was lying before… THIS was my goodbye kiss… I’ll never forget you, Kikyo…”

She collapsed on her knees, her souls escaping her. She muttered “Inuyasha…” Once again, and then collapsed on the ground. Her last piece of souls were struggling to get out.

Inuyasha thought sadly that he planned their last kiss so much more peaceful and private before… “It’s so unfair…” “I’ll never forget you… Goodbye… Kikyo”

Her last and biggest soul escaped her. She was dead.

Inuyasha followed the last soul with his eyes. It weren’t shooting for the sky above like all the others; it flew to a nearby body. Inuyasha froze. The body was lying motionless. Not even breathing.

Kagome…

-

“KAGOME! KAGOMEEEE!”

Inuyasha ran to the girl, and kneeled next to her. She was white, awfully white. The way she was lying proved that she had suffered a lot before passing out.

He put her head in his lap “Kagome, speak to me…. Please… Anything… Tell me to sit or anything… Kagome, just… Just please, DON’T BE DEAD!”

Tears were falling from his eyes even faster. He looked in her face… In her beautiful face… “Kagome, I love you… You can’t leave me… Please… Don’t leave me…” He desperately leaned over her, and kissed her.

His tears were falling on Kagome’s closed eyes.

“Kagome… Kagome… My love… Please don’t leave me… Inuyasha, you idiot, you never deserved her… She had to suffer so much because of you… Idiot… Now, this won’t help her, I have to be smart...”

He broke the kiss as he suddenly straightened up.

“Wait just a second there… Kagome told me something about a situation like this… All I have to do is…”

He kissed her again, than put her head down on the ground. He leaned over her, closed her nose, and blew air in her lungs. He made a break, than repeated it, again and again.

“C’mon, please, don’t die, Kagome, I need you…” Inuyasha thought somewhere between the 3rd and the 4th blow.

-

All she knew she was running in a huge forest. What am I? Where am I? Who am I?

She saw some kind of light in the distance. She slowed down, than started running again. I have to reach the light…

As she almost reached it, she heard a voice from behind.

“KAGOMEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

She stopped. I know that voice from somewhere… It’s pleasant…

“Kagome, I love you… You can’t leave me… Please… Don’t leave me…”

Then she remembered.

“Inu… Inuyasha? INUYASHA!” She was crying. She didn’t want to leave the hanyou.

She felt something on her lips. He recognised what was happening at once, and kissed the invisible Inuyasha back.

The light was taking over the darkness. In just a couple of seconds she will never be able to return to her loved one again…

“No… Someone, please help me… I want Inuyasha…”

Then something unexpected happened. She felt her lungs rise, and the light disappeared immediately. She was lying. She was feeling someone’s lips on hers, blowing air in her lungs. There was also something wet and hot falling on her closed eyes.

-

“Kagome… You can’t… This can’t be… NO…”

Inuyasha stopped. He was out of hope. He leaned over her, and instead of blowing air in her body, he simply kissed her goodbye.

Was he surprised when he felt Kagome kissing back!

But when Kagome’s arms rose as well and she hugged Inuyasha close to her, he felt relieved. Relieved… And loved.

-

After a minute Kagome broke the kiss. She opened her eyes, and was very surprised to find the hanyou crying. Also she realised that she was crying as well.

She brought her hand to Inuyasha’s face and wiped out the tears from his eyes. Inuyasha did the same.

They smiled, and Kagome sang:

“…When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears…”

Inuyasha smiled, and continued:

“…When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears”

They finished together:

“…And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me…”

They smiled at each other, kissed again, and Inuyasha took Kagome home.

On the way, when not kissing, they were singing the song.

Their song

-

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

-

THE END
