Distant love by me, who else?!

Um.I don't own Inu-yasha alright? I just own the idea for this fanfic.so buzz off!!! Eh.hehehe.@_@;; sorry about that.

Hello everybody! Well, I got this idea while writing chapter 5 of that unknown story and since I couldn't put it in the story, I decided to make a new one. So read, review.and tell me what ya'll think by pushing that little button down der!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I still don't see why we had to leave Shippo behind!" I whined to my companion. He just kept on walking.

My name is Kagome Higurashi. My so-called 'companion' is named Inu-yasha. He's a half-demon or hanyou. For the past 8 months or so, we've been looking around for the Shikon shards. You see, all the shards used to be one whole thing, the Shikon no Tama. Oh, and this isn't really my time frame at all. I live in the twenty-first century while where we are right now is the old Feudal Japan Era.

We usually had friends tagging along, other people who were looking for shards too, or even.Naraku.

Naraku was a demon or whatever he is who was evil. Some people like Kaede, a village healer of some sort, thought that he could be a reincarnation of some strong demon. Oni-gumo or something like that he was called.

We were after him for a lot of reasons actually. One was that he was also after the shards to get stronger, like Inu. But Naraku, or whatever you want to call him, was more mean about it. AND, he had this thing for Inu- yasha. Not thing as in like but more like hate. He was always trying to kill us but so far, nothing had worked.

Another thing.he also had Kikyo.Inu's love. Or at least I thought that she was his love. Inu seemed to care a lot about her. Even though she was dead. That stupid rotting corpse!

Anyway.

Today Inu made me leave my adopted pup at Kaede's. His name is Shippo and he's a kitsune. Kitsune means fox by the way.

So, there we were. Travelling like usual. Miroku, the perverted monk, Sango, the demon-killer, and me, the shard detector, bringing up the rear while Inu-yasha ran on ahead, also as usual. I had given up on trying to talk to him a few minutes ago.

Up ahead.

Inu-yasha ran on ahead. They were coming close to a village. He could smell the humans ahead.

'Ugh! I hate the smell of humans. Well, humans that smell like that anyway!' he thought, jumping into the trees.

He thought of Kagome. Of how she saved him from his crazy half-brother, Shesshoumaru, who was a full demon also known as youkai. Of how she takes such good care of her pup, Shippo.

He chuckles. His Kagome is something different alright.

HIS Kagome.

The thought that Kagome was his made him blush and stumble, making him fall down to the ground with a loud 'THUDDD!!!'.

Cursing, Inu got up and dusted himself off. When he was about to run off again, he caught a faint smell. He sniffed again, ignoring the mortal stench and focusing on the small scent. It sort of smelled like.dirt and.and.BONES!

His eyes widened when he recognised it.

'Kikyo!' he thought.

"Feh. Kikyo, you know better than to spy on me!" he growled. Kikyo climbed out of the bushes and smirked.

"Well well. What have we here? So you were finally able to catch my scent huh?" she taunted.

Inu narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"What do you want?"

"I was going to warn you about a demon but, since you're alone now." Kikyo.

But she wasn't Kikyo anymore. She transformed into a bright blue mini- dragon and.attacked Inu-yasha.

Luckily, he jumped out of the way but got hit by an energy ball.

"What type of.thing.are you?!" he ground out. The ball had thrown him to the ground. A small, shrill laugh came from the chibi dragon.

"A dragon, what else? Now, Inu-yasha.do you still think that you can challenge Lord Naraku?" it said.

Inu-yasha laughed and crushed the small amount of pain he felt.

"Of course I can, you crazy bitch." He stood up slowly, watching the small dragon's jaws.

Just then, Kagome sensed a Shikon shard and left her friends. She ran towards the right, heading towards where Inu-yasha was still fighting the mini dragon.

She reached the place and gasped at what she saw. Inu-yasha was on one knee, a hand on his bleeding chest. He was panting and struggling to get up.

"Inu-yasha." Kagome breathed. Inu-yasha looked at her.

"Go.away. Y-You can't help. Go.a-away." he wheezed.

Kagome shook her head and drew her bow, aiming carefully at the dragon.

"Inu, what's that thing?" she asked.

"Dr-dra.gon."

"THAT'S a dragon? It looks more like a snake to me!" Kagome exclaimed. This made the dragon mad. It didn't like being called a snake.

"Dragon. DRA-GON! Not SNAKE, DRRAAA-GOOOONNNN!!!" it exclaimed, opening its jaws wide, giving Kagome a clear shot.

Kagome let her arrow fly but didn't notice a small sting on her arm as the dragon disappeared.

All that was left was a Shikon shard, glowing brightly.

Kagome ran to Inu's side, completely forgetting about the shard lying on the ground.

But.before she got to him.he collapsed. She shrieked and ran even faster, if that was even humanly possible.

"Inu-yasha! Inu-yasha! Shikarishite! INU-YASHAAA!!!" Kagome yelled when she reached him. He was lying on the ground with his eyes closed so she started yelling and shaking him.

Inu-yasha opened his eyes to see Kagome standing beside him, tears forming in her eyes. He struggled to get up.

"Oh, Inu!" Kagome exclaimed, hugging him tightly. She was so scared that he might die.

Inu-yasha tried to talk but his throat was slowly shutting down.

"Told.y-you to.g-go. *cough* Trap.*cough* poi.*gasp. breath.* .son."

And with that, the hanyou son of the great leader of youkais, was dead.

Kagome couldn't, wouldn't, believe that her friend was dead.

'I never told him how I felt.' she thought.

"No," she said softly, wiping her tears away. "No! He can't die. He can't! He.*sniff*.can't." She put her cheek on his chest and embraced the darkness.
