"Only to raise once againe"

She thought she had lost every thing the son she had adopted the haneyou she had fell in love with or thought she was in love with. But it was all not to be the life she had in the past was gone. Hell the past was her life she felt more at home their than in the future were she was born. It was all not to be she told herself as she sat at the bottom of the well covered in old blood and dirt. A silent tear of despair ran down her face as she thought of the final battle with naraku and how it had all fell apart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Inuyasha nooooooo" Kagome yelled as the tetsusiga flew from his clawed grasp.

His normally golden gaze turned bloody as he flew at naraku with ferocity.

Fangs bore at the fellow half-breed in attempt to kill him. Naraku merely smiled at him as he saw the woman he so wanted in the past draw an arrow.

Kagome watched as an arrow came out of nowhere and impaled into his back through his once warm and caring heart. She couldn't look she couldn't turn away as she saw the man she thought she loved cry out in anguish. The tip if the arrow in his grasp as his head back crying out.

That was when she fell to her knees no longer watching the battle raging around her. Sango and Miroku had fallen she thought and Shippo wait shippo. Her head shot up in search for her kit, their not 20 feet from her he lay barley breathing but alive. A string of hope formed as she made her way towards her kit purifying any demon that got to close.

When she reached him she scoped him up into her arms and cried softly. His emerald eyes slowly opened as is he had awoken from a long nap and was still woozy. Taking in a shaky breath kagome said the first thing that came to mind with the knowledge that he was dying.

"shippo baby I'm here for you, you don't have to be afraid anymore". Briefly his eyes flickered in understanding as he whispered "mama I don't want to die".

A fresh wave of tears bleed from her eyes and she hugged him closer to her chest as she whispered back "Hai shippo my son you wont die not here not now"

Placing him back on the ground and briefly kissing his forehead kagome stood to face her enemies.

Kikyo stood next to naraku both were smiling. Standing proudly before them kagome said as she drew one of the two arrows in her quiver "you've taken the lives of my friends and family and you dare smile. Does the agony and deaths of others bring you pleasure."

At her words kikyo laughed drawing her own bow as kagome had done she said "you think you can stand up to us, you a cheap imitation of a miko think you even stand a chance at beating us."

At kikyos words kagome notched an arrow then said "No you're wrong I don't think I can beat you I know I can" with that said she let the arrow fly.

Kagome propping herself up against the wall of the well began to cry once agine only to hate herself even more for doing so.
