Love and Loss

By: Takara Yasha {me}

Chapter 1 - Death

"INUYASHA!" a scream filled the air, the sound traveling for miles. "INUYASHA! NO!"the young miko screamed, looking at the dead hanyou, lying on the ground not more than fifty feet from the spot on which she stood. "I-Inuyasha?"asked shippo, tears filling his eyes. Miroku wrapped his arms around Sango. The sobbing taijiya buried her face in the houshi's shoulder. "He should have know better than to think he could win"Naraku said. Naraku chuckled and let a sea of miasma swarm around Inuyasha's lifeless body, dissinegrating it. "That was a nice workout. Oh, and thanks for the jewel shards"Naraku said, picking up the shards of the shikon no tama that Inuyasha had been carring. Naraku chuckled, his miasma swirling around him and lifting him into the sky, carring him away. "NO!"Kagome yelled, crawling over to the spot that Inuyasha's body have occupied moments before. She lay down on the spot, and curled into a ball. "You can't be gone Inuyasha...I..."she paused, then said the words she had been trying to say for so long "I love you..." Tears were running freely down the miko's cheeks, and she was shaking uncontrollably. "Kagome..."Sango said, leaving the warmth of Miroku's arms and moving over to her friend's side. "Kagome..."Sango bit her lower lip and sank to her knees in front of kagome, staring at the ground and the small pool of her own tears gathering there. "We'll get him for this! WE'LL GET HIM!"the taijiya yelled to the sky. Miroku, Kirara and Shippo followed Sango to Kagome's side. Shippo walked over to the sobbing girl. He placed his small paw-like hand on her shoulder, but Kagome made no notice of the small kitsune. "Why...?"Kagome asked in a small voice. "Kagome...theres nothing we can do now..."Miroku said, trying, but failing horribly at stopping the tears from falling. "I...I want...to ...be alone..."Kagome said quietly. "Miroku looked at Sango, who nodded and whispered "we should let her calm down a little". The taijiya then turned back to Kagome "Ok, Kagome...we'll be back in a little while okay?" Kagome nodded. Sango picked Shippo up, and held the kitsune close to her. "T-thanks...Sango"Kagome whispered. "No problem Kagome"Sango replied, putting a hand on Kagome's shoulder, then stood and carring Shippo away. Miroku and Kirara followed Sango and Shippo, dissapearing into the trees. 'Inuyasha...why...' Kagome thought. Kagome had been laying there for around ten minutes, when a twig snapped. Sure, she could hear the footsteps coming towards her, and she could sense the demonic aura, but she didn't care. Nothing mattered anymore, Inuyasha was gone. She lay there, staring at the trees, until she saw the outline of a figure walking slowly towards her through the trees. 'Maybe its Naraku here to kill me...at least then I'd be with Inuyasha...'she thought. Within a few seconds, Inuyasha's older, full inu yokai brother Sesshomaru emerged from the trees, staring at the young miko laying in the dirt.
