The finished work for Doggieearlover's story Live and Let Die. This needs some exerpts from the story to clear up some confusion and to explain the image.
From Chapter One of Live and Let Die:
It had been five days and the bundle of filthy red and matted silver was almost unrecognizable. Hair a mess of tangles and dirt, firerat covered in dirt and leaves from being dragged through the forest. Hungry and thirsty, but still conscious, at first he could only think of two things: `Kikyou, why?' and `please help me, Kagome.' His body could last for some time without food and water, but unable to move, InuYasha thought he was probably going to go mad in the dank, dark, loneliness of what was supposed to be his tomb.
InuYasha was still wondering what he had done to deserve such a fate. He had expected to die at the hands of some powerful demon when he finally left this world, not from starvation and dehydration and the humiliation of lying in his own waste because he could not move. He had held everything in for as long as he could, but even without food and water, his bladder and bowels eventually emptied anyway. He was filthy and almost unrecognizable.
Kagome had started muttering in her sleep, “InuYasha…InuYasha…where are you? Where did you go?”
“So cold, can't move. It's dark…Kagome…will you find me?”
“What?” That got Sesshomaru's attention. Why would the miko be talking to herself?
Kagome was trapped in her nightmare again. It was cold, dark and damp and she could not move. She was so hungry, and so filthy. She had started muttering out loud, “Die…will I die here all alone?”
