The Importance of a Life

I held his body, Lifeless and still

His blood dripping, slowly

Over my hands and flesh
I strive so hard
To help you collect the Shikkon no Tama
To return to Feudal Japan
To my friends
To him.

I would have never imagined
He would miss me so much
That he wouldn't be able to go on.

I always thought he never cared
That he would have ever
Risked anything to save me.

But now...

I hold him tightly against my chest
Sobbing, wondering,
How it is possible that he is really gone.

Wishing that he'd only waited a few minuets
If so, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Inuyasha,
How am I supposed to live without you?
You said not to mourn for you.

Sorry, I went against your word...

I've always cared for you so much.
You were just like a member of my family.

I never thought you would leave me.

If I had only been there for you sooner...
If only...

If only...

Wait a minuet...

I feel something.
The slightest flutter of movement
The slightest flicker of breath.

Is it possible?

He is alive, but fading fast
I can't let him go,
Not now.
I know he didn't really want to die.

I don't know what to do
I'm frantic to save him.

Inuyasha, I scream,
Oh Inuyasha, please don't go.

I embrace him, feeling the ice of his skin,
the almost dead body.
He won't die, I won't let him.

Now I weep, I see the crystal tears drop on his pale face

I am afraid,
Afraid my Inuyasha will be taken away

I yell for him

Eerie silence echoes around us,
He is gone still,
I bury my face into his shoulder
and sob

Then I hear
what I never thought I would hear again

A gasp
A pain filled voice
A voice, soft, sad, grateful

"K-Kagome?"

I looked down
His eyes are open

He smiles weakly

"You saved me...Kagome."

I embrace him tightly
Never wanting to let go

"I love you, Inuyasha."
I whisper, my voice shaky.
" I love you."

Well, that's it. Please R&R and tell me what you think.
