Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Inuyasha was fighting Naraku with his Tetsaiga while Sango, Miroku, and Kirara were fighting off Kagura and her demons. Shippo was with Kaede at the hut so that he wouldn't get hurt. Kagome was on the side, watching the two battles, thinking off a way she could help. Kagome steadied her bow and arrows and aimed towards Naraku. She released the arrow but it missed. Naraku sent Kagura a glare. Luckily, she caught it despite fighting with Sango and Miroku.

"Dance of Blades! Kagura yelled blades of wind were sent towards Miroku and Sango. They used Kirara to evade the attack. Now that there wasn't anyone around her, Kagura unleashed the same attack towards Kagome.

Inuyasha saw the attack heading towards Kagome and tried to rush over there to block it but he was hit with one of Naraku's tentacles.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome turned and saw Kagura's attack heading to her but it was too late, Kagome was hit with the attack and now had a deep cut across her chest and across her left thigh.

"Bastard!" Inuaysha's eyes blinked red but he didn't transform because of the Tetsaiga. Hatred flowed through Inuyasha as he swung the Tetsaiga.

"Wind Sca-!" 'Wait, this isn't the Wind Scar..' Inuyasha thought as sharp diamonds came out of the Tetsaiga that were covered with a yellow light. Anything the spikes came in contact with were pierced and then disintegrated. The new move looked like a combination of the Wind Scar and Adamant Barrage.

Kagura and Naraku were pierced with the new move. 'Damn that half-breed' Naraku thought as he slowly disintegrated.

'Kagome' Inuyasha thought after he picked up Naraku's part of the Shikon Jewel and rushed to where Kagome's body laid on the ground. Sango and Miroku were already at her side trying to help her. Kagome's blood was spreading quickly due to a direct hit from Kagura's attack.

"Kagome! Get up!" Inuyasha yelled as Kagome's eyes remained closed.

Kagome's eyes half-opened. She saw Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku at her side. Inuyasha was saying something but she couldn't hear him, all she saw was his mouth moving. Pain surged through her body and she felt tired and weak. 'Am I dying? Is this what it feels like...' Kagome thought. 'I can't die now, I need to tell him! He may not care but I can't die without telling him.'

"Inuyasha..." Kagome said.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha cried. Kagome sounded faint and weak and he couldn't see that glimmer she always has in her eyes. Her eyes looked dull and empty.

"Inuyasha...I...I..." Kagome said as darkness covered her. The faces off all her friends disappeared as the face of one person was the last thing floating in her mind. 'Inuyasha...'

"Inuyasha..." Sango said as she felt Kagome's wrist. "H-Her pulse is gone."

Inuyasha looked at Sango with eyes of shock and fear. "What the hell are you trying to say?" Inuyasha choked out.

"Kagome...Kagome's gone Inuyasha." Sango started crying. Miroku was by her side immediately.

Inuyasha couldn't believe it. The most important thing in his life was gone. He promised to protect her but when it mattered most, he couldn't. Tears fell down his cheeks, and he didn't try to stop them. He didn't care if anyone saw he was weak now. What did his pride have to do with anything now? Why did anything matter now? She was gone, Kagome was dead.

"Miroku" Sango choked out "Help me get Kagome on Kira-"

"No" Inuyasha said with tear stained cheeks "I'll carry her..." Without any objection Sango and Miroku let Inuyasha carry her. Everyone stayed silent the on the journey back home.

Back At Kaede's Hut

"Lady Kaede its Inuyasha!" Shippo said as Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku walked through the door. (A/N: door, cloth, whatever it is)Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku all stayed quiet as they walked in. "Inuyasha, is Kagome sleeping?" Shippo said as he saw Kagome on Inuyasha's back. Inuyasha still didn't say a word. He still didn't accept the fact that she was dead.

"Inuyasha, what has wronged all of ye?" Kaede said as Shippo rushed to Kagome who was being laid on the floor. When Shippo saw Kagome, he jumped back as he let out a little whimper.

"Inuyasha...what happened to Kagome?" Shippo said as tears flooded his eyes threatening to fall. Inuyasha's, Sango's,and Miroku's eyes seemed distant and empty. Inuyasha stood up to leave the hut. He couldn't hear this all over again. He headed towards the Goshinboku and leapt upon the branch. He needed to be alone, he needed time to think. He saw Sango and Miroku leave the hut and almost immediately he heard Shippo's crying. His ears twitched as he heard something approaching and a demon appear from the trees. He felt a little bit relieved. He needed something he could take his anger out on. What Inuyasha didn't know was that there was a bird demon who was heading towards the hut.

The demon entered the hut where Shippo and Kaede were. Kaede had tear-stained cheeks and was holding Shippo and didnt know what to do when she saw the demon. Her bow and arrows were not with her. She watched what the demon was doing. The demon's eyes searched the hut until it stopped at Kagome. The demon swiftly picked her up at flew out of the hut towards the deep forest. After a while it stopped at a clearing and let her down.

'The shikon jewel shards are mine!' the demon thought. Sesshomaru suddenly appeared in the clearing.

"Move out of the way" Sesshomaru said in his normal cold tone.

"What gives you any right to order me around?" the bird demon replied.

Jaken and Rin appeared into the clearing. "How dare you! Talk to my master with respect you filthy demon!" Jaken hissed. The demon laughed and charged at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru easily killed the demon with his poison whip and then walked straight past Kagome's corpse. 'Pathetic human' Sesshomaru thought.

"Kagome!" Rin screamed as she ran to Kagome's body.

"Rin, do you know this human?" Sesshomaru questioned.

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru. She saved my life once." Rin replied. Sesshomaru walked over to Kagome's body and unsheathed his Tensaiga. When he saw the messengers from hell, he killed them. 'My debt is paid' Sesshomaru thought as he walked away with Jaken. Kagome's face slowly gained its cooler back as she began to wake up to see a smiling Rin at her side.

"Hi Rin, where am I?" Kagome asked.

"Konichiwa Kagome. You're-" Rin said before Sesshomaru cut her off.

"Rin, let's go" Sesshomaru said in the distance.

"Hai, Lord Sesshomaru. Sayonara Kagome." Rin said as she ran to Sesshomaru.

'What happened?' Kagome thought as she rubbed her head and saw her cut-blood stained clothes. 'That's right, Kagura killed me, I...died. Sesshomaru must have saved me but that doesn't explain what I'm doing here. Where is everyone...Inuyasha! Where is he?' Kagome thought as she got up to head out of the forest.

-Back to Inuyasha-

'FIlthy demon just wanted Naraku's incomplete jewel.' Inuyasha thought as he finished the demon and headed to Kaede and Shippo. When Inuyasha entered the hut, he noticed that Kagome wasn't there.

"What happened to Kagome?" Inuyasha yelled.

"A bird demon came and took her. He headed south." Kaede replied still holding a crying Shippo.

"And you didn't even try to stop him?!" Inuyasha yelled as he dashed out of the hut following Kagome's scent.

Miroku and Sango came back. "Where is Inuyasha going?" They asked Kaede.

"To look for Kagome" Kaede replied and then told them what happened. They just watched Inuyasha leave into the night.

Inuyasha jumped from the tree to tree trying to follow Kagome's scent when he suddenly stopped and saw something familiar up in the night sky.

'Kikyo's soul collectors? What are they doing here?" He thought as he followed them deeper into the forest.

Kagome got out of the dark forest, still trying to piece together how she got from the battle scene, to the forest with Rin and Sesshomaru. She was very confused and she wanted answers. Kagome stopped when she saw Kikyo's soul collectors up in the sky flying into the forest.

'Kikyo's here? But why? What does she want?' Kagome thought as she headed back into the forest, following the soul collectors. She saw a blur of silver and crimson red up ahead. 'I...Inuyasha...?'
