Journey with a mad man

By: Miko Goddess Kagome

Chapter 1: Goodbye my old firend

Inuyasha, Miroku, Sango, Kagome and Kilala were all fighting Naraku. Shippo had been left at Keade's so he wouldn't be caught in the fight. Inuyasha and Kagome were fighting Naraku, Sango and Miroku were fighting off the demons. Kohaku was long gone Kagome told out his jewel shard and he turned into ash. Kagura and Kanna's heart were returned to them and they fled the scene.

Naraku's tentacles flew towards Inuyasha and pieced him the throat, Inuyasha was losing a lot of blood from his wounds. Kagome notched an arrow in her bow, her concentrated her miko energy into the arrow and let it fly. The arrow hit and purified Naraku on contact, but the only problem was when the arrow hit him it also hit the Shikon Jewel. Scattering half of the jewel over the feudal era. Inuyasha fell to the ground hard Kagome knew that Inuyasha wasn't going to make it. He was losing a lot of blood even a full demon wouldn't be able to survive. Inuyasha looked over to Kagome, he wanted to say goodbye before his time was up.

"Ka…go…me?"

"Yea Inuyasha I'm here."

Kagome walked over to Inuyasha and kneeled beside him, she grabbed his hand. Kagome had tears in her eyes they were falling down her face.

"Kagome…don't cry…we all knew that this was going to happen…"

"Save you strength you're make through this you always do."

"Don't fool yourself Kagome…we all know what is going to happen."

"I don't want you to leave me."

"I will always be with you Kagome."

"Inuyasha?"

"Kagome I want you to take the Tetsusaiga…"

"But I cant use the Tetsusaiga…the sword won't transform for me."

"You'll find a solution…you always do."

"I'm sorry it had to end this way Inuyasha."

"Me too…Kagome…I'm Sorry…"

"For what?"

"That I can no longer protect you."

"That's life Inuyasha…it can't be helped."

Inuyasha coughed and more blood fell out of his mouth.

"Goodbye Kagome."

"Goodbye Inuyasha."

Inuyasha's breathing stop and so did his heart. Kagome couldn't believe it Inuyasha was gone, she would no longer have her many arguments that would end up with Inuyasha face down in the dirt. Sango and Miroku who had finished off the many of the demons they limped over to where Kagome and Inuyasha laid and sat.

"Kagome, Inuyasha's gone."

"Yea Sango, he is."

"Now what are we going to do?"

"Is Kilala able to travel?"

"Yea she is."

"Alright then…Kilala will take you and Inuyasha…Kilala will go to Keade's village and set up all the arrangements for Inuyasha burial. Me and Miroku will start walking towards the village, when Kilala has you and Inuyasha settled then she can come looking for us.

"Alright…can you do that Kilala?"

"Mew."

"Good Girl."

Kilala transformed and Miroku and Kagome helped Sango place Inuyasha on Kilala's back. Sango mounted on Kilala when she was ready to go they were about of leave when Kagome told them to stop. Sango looked over to Kagome and waited for her to speak.

"Kagome what's wrong."

"I need to take the Tetsusaiga with me. Before you go."

"Alright."

Sango took the Tetsusaiga sheathe and handed it to Kagome, Sango looked over at Kagome and Miroku before she took off again. Miroku looked over at Kagome and sighed this was going to be a long day.

"Miroku?"

"Yea Kagome."

"Do you want to rest before we start walking?"

"Sure Kagome. Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure ask away."

"Why are you taking the Tetsusaiga with you?"

"Inuyasha told me to take it with me…"

"Oh…but you can't use it."

"I know, I know, but he told me I would find a way."

"That's true you always do."

"That's what Inuyasha said."

"He knew what he was talking about."

The two grew silent, they stayed sitting down by the field for a while. After a hour of the rest, Miroku and Kagome headed out towards the village. Miroku and Kagome walked through the forest at a slow pace, Kagome knew that Miroku was tried so they didn't need to go fast.

"Are you going to continue looking for the rest of the jewel shards?"

"I have to Miroku…no one else will do it for me and I am the protector of the Shikon no tama…and what a great protector I turned out to be."

"Don't say that Kagome…you are a good protector…when the jewel scattered it wasn't your fault."

"I know but I feel as it is."

"Now that Naraku is gone…the jewels will be easier to locate."

"I hope so Miroku, I hope so."

Sango was thinking about what she was going to tell Keade and Shippo. Sango only hope that Kagome was still doing okay. Keade's village came into view Kilala flew down towards the village and landed in front of Keade's hut. Sango got off of Kilala and told her to wait outside until she and Keade came outside. Sango entered the hut Keade was sitting near the fire stirring the stew. Keade looked up and saw Sango standing at the doorway.

"Sango child…where are the others?"

"Kagome and Miroku and walking towards the village…and Inuyasha is just outside…Keade…."

Tears began to fill in Sango eyes, the tears began to spill down her face.

"Keade…Inuyasha's di…died…"

"DIED…"

"Yes…Naraku killed him…Kagome wanted us to prepare for his burial before she came to the village."

"Very well…we will see to the burial…where would you think Kagome would let to Bury him?"

"Near the God tree would be best."

"I thought so…come lets prepare…I'll call the men to help us…"

Keade and Sango left the hut and Kilala was still waiting outside for the two. Keade left Sango and went into the village to gathered a few men. When the men and Keade came back three men had shovels so they could make the grave for Inuyasha and two other men to help clean the body and to also prepare the body. With everything getting done Kilala left the village and went to go and get Kagome and Miroku.

When Kagome and Miroku arrived at the village everything was ready for the ceremony. They didn't have time to think or do anything Sango ran over to them and told them that they would have the ceremony for Inuyasha. Kagome went to pick a few flowers before they went to the site. When that was done Sango took them towards the god tree. All the villagers were at the god tree playing their respects to Inuyasha.

Keade said a pray to honour Inuyasha, some of the villagers put flowers on the grave and left. Only Kagome was left at the god tree, she looked over to the sky and sighed.

"Inuyasha…what can I say…I am going to miss you….if only we had more time together…maybe things could be different."

Kagome kneeled down and she kissed the flowers and placed them on the grave.

"I will always remember you, with the sword by my side you will be a part of me."

Kagome got up and headed back to the village she let her tears flow down her face as she began slowing live her new life with Inuyasha. When Kagome got into Keade's hut Shippo jumped onto Kagome's shoulder and asked her if she was alright she told him that she was fine and that she should start collecting the jewel shards tomorrow.
