Going Nowhere Fast

Chapter 1: Learning
to Leave Friends Behind You

She couldn't believe it; she just couldn't believe it. They
had defeated Naraku with the help of Kouga and his pack, and surprisingly
enough the Taiyoukai of the North, South, East, and West showed up with some of
their best fighters. In the end the person who made the biggest difference had
been her. If it weren’t for that last purifying arrow aimed straight at his
head Inu Yasha would have been unable to hit Naraku with the Bakryuuha.

Kagome looked up at her golden-eyed, white-haired lover. He
reached out, gently taking her hand, and placing into it the last of the shikon
jewel shards, which included those that Naraku possessed, the one imbedded into
Kohaku's back, and the ones held by Kouga. She glanced down at the shards in
her hand. These harmless little things had caused so much hurt and misery for
her friends. She then looked back up into her lover's golden eyes. The two deep
golden pools seemed to radiate sadness that only she could see or sense at that
moment. The young man nodded. They both understood what was going to happen.

Kagome took their rather large piece of the shikon jewel and
clasped it in her hands along with the shards. A pink glow surrounded Kagome as
the shikon pieced itself back together. When the glow died down Kagome unfolded
her hands and their cradled in her palm was the completed Shikon Jewel.

All of a sudden Kagome started to fade away. She was no
longer needed in the era for her task had been completed. Kagome decided now
would be the time to say her goodbyes. "Sango I’m sorry about Kohaku,
Mirkou live a long and prosperous life, Inu Yasha find someone else to love
you, and Sesshomaru follow your heart." Kagome was starting to fade away
faster. "My love don't forget me cause I'll never forget you." A tear
started rolling down her face. The pain was almost unbearable. "I love
you..." The tear that had been rolling down her face splashed into the
dirt where she had been standing. Kagome was gone and would never return again.
Amongst their grief Mirkou, Sango, Shippou, and Inu Yasha didn't notice
Sesshomaru turn around and leave. A single tear trailing down his cheek. The
only one of the group who noticed would never tell anybody her secret.
