I could feel this person's last breath and it made me sad to know that they were leaving this world under these conditions. Never in my life had I ever seen this, it was new to me but not to the people around here. It was a common occurance. I felt bad for them all but they did not, they knew life would go on and they would never forget the people they lost over the years. It is a nice concept. I always wondered what if I died here. I would never be able to go home again and what would happen to everyone around me at home, wouldn't they find out the truth of where I have been all this time. Sure my family knew even if it was hard to believe. Here I sit holding this person in my arms as they die and I shed tears for them, everyone who has ever died and so young. What if I wake up tomorrow and realize I was dreaming or what if I am just reading this great book and when its done I will come out of my reverie. For a long time now I have come back and forth in this place. I help whomever I can. I have done so much here noone back home would ever believe me they wouldn't because they have never been here themselves they have no idea about what really happens here or has happened here. To think it is what shapes the destiny for people back home. I have made many friends in my travels here. I have done many heroic things as well as my companions. We fight with everything we have to help everyone we can. Sure it gets tough but isn't that what life is all about. This person who is dying in my arms is the same as me, fighting with everything they have just to make it in this world. Here we use physical use to solve problems at home we use mental use. I wish I could do so much more but I can only do so much. I feel as if I have been through hell many times and there is still more to go through. I have endured so much, emotionally especially. Its not easy to adapt to the situations I am in on a daily basis, sometimes you start to miss things when you leave them behind and you just cant leave them behind. Sometimes it hurts so much but I cant wish it would end because then so would my life. I have dedicated so much of it to my travels and with my companions we have fought side by side against evil. We have yet to win but we will even if I do have to risk my life more each time we get closer. "He is dead I whispered to myself." This man I was holding has given his life in the fight against evil. He was brave to be fighting, I know he will be missed by everyone who had the chance to meet him. I have prayed for him everynight since this battle has begun just as I have prayed for my friends and all who have aided us. Some day this man will be born again and I am sure we will meet again so I can tell him how brave he is, he might think me to be crazy but his spirit will know what I mean. He gave it all without resting I just hope he is resting peacefully now. We will win this fight, he will be able to see his life was not a wasted one. He is free now with all his loved ones who went before him it is sad that he is gone he was my friend too and now he will have nothing to worry over. We will win this for him and for everyone else who has died by this evil creatures hands. I am happy to have given comfort and reassurance to this slain man in my arms. Go in peace I told him gently kissing his forehead, you were a true friend even if we met under strange circumstances in the end I loved you as I do family and even though i wasn't in love with you I do love you I tell him. He tells me he loves me too. He is gone now and I have laid his resting body in a safe place. It is time to continue on in this battle. I hear my name being called," Kagome, is he dead?" Inuyasha has asked. "Yes Kouga is, I placed him somewhere safe for now." I tell him. "I am sorry Kagome." Inuyasha says. "Me too Inuyasha but we have to focus on defeating Narraku." I wonder if it will be over soon as I notch an arrow. Yes I will make sure it is I tell myself as I shoot the arrow. "This is for Kouga." (Authors note: I do not own These characters.
