knew he had taught himself. With pain, with tears. But the devil didn't care. After all, the boy couldn't die.
At that moment, God in his blind anger made a decision. He would wipe out the serpent before it had completely seduced Eva. Resolutely, he stepped into Satan's black aura. This backed away from him in order to expand further lengthways. Even the Creator did not have the power to purify the aura of the Lord of Hell. Because then he would inevitably send himself to doom.

~~~~~~~~~~

The saint felt God's approach. And she guessed what he was up to. NO! She couldn't let that happen! Inuyasha, Inuyasha! Her heart was beating fast, her aura formed a ring around Inuyasha's aura like a protective wall. God was not allowed to do anything to him, HE MUST NOT!
"Get away from there. I'll wipe the snake out once and for all!"
Then everything seemed to happen at the same time.

God wanted to pounce on the unconscious, Satan rushed up and Kagome screamed a loud "NO !!"

God couldn't touch the snake, instead he caught the woman's dying aura, which flared up again as a result. Fortunately for her, not so far that she woke up, because she would surely have passed out again immediately. The Almighty cursed easily, because actually he had wanted to touch the snake and thus purify and extinguish it.

Satan rushed to the miko and his servant and of course to God. That idiot! He was blind. He couldn't forget this thing in paradise. Why did the Creator see only the bad in it?Without the snake, people would still live in paradise and the earth would not exist. Why didn't this old guru realize this? It was so obvious! Understand the gods.
Satan couldn't really get hold of God, but at least he distracted him from his servant. A touch of God's hand and Inuyasha would be history, whether he was immortal or not.

"NO !!", Kagome screeched and threw himself protectively over the unconscious man. However, she avoided direct body or aura contact. The main thing was that God did nothing to Inuyasha! He had an important role in her world. A very important one. Nobody would be able to replace this position!
She didn't know why, but God's hand hissed over Inuyasha and hit the almost dead woman. Her aura flared up again and Kagome could hear the weak breaths from her. Maybe she was saved now, but she was far from safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“God, you old, poor fool.” He stared hard at Satan. "What?" He hissed. "Calm down. Inuyasha is not a snake and Kagome is not Eve. Also, Adam is missing here. Realize it! Without my snake you would never have banished Adam and Eve, and this world would not exist! I will not allow you to kill Inuyasha . I alone can decide. You have no more right to Inuyasha's life than I have to the Kagomes. Don't fail. Remember. You are God. You swore by the rainbow that you would never wipe people out again. But if you kill Inuyasha and Kagome does not die with him, then this world falls apart. Don't forget that, God! "
Satan felt ridiculous. He of all people had to preach to God! Clearly something had gone wrong. Yes: God's fuses were burned through.

Slowly Kagome dared to look up. God's and Satan's aura did not move. She didn’t care about Satan, it was just important that God didn’t make another attempt to wipe Inuyasha out.The miko allowed itself to exhale easily. Maybe she would be lucky and Satan could hold off God. At least the Lord of Hell started a sermon. Satan and sermon? How could that show up in one sentence?
The miko decided not to think about it any further and turned to Inuyasha. She couldn't see him, but she could feel it much more clearly. And Kagome knew he was still passed out. That scared her. Why was he still unconscious? Why didn't he finally wake up, talk to her again? She missed the way he emphasized her name. "Inuyasha," she breathed, "Inuyasha."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God had silently listened to Satan. In one ear. With the other he heard Kagome breath the name of the snake. He knew he couldn't let himself go like this again. But he couldn't tolerate a connection between Eva and this snake! But what should he do? Satan was right, he couldn't just kill the snake like that. He had to perish naturally. And to be killed by God wasn't natural. It wasn't even natural that he was here on earth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Kagome-sama. Kagome-sama? Am I still alive? Kagome-sama, are you there?"
Kagome could only hear these words very softly in her head. "Inuyasha," she whispered. “I'm here.” Very tentatively she could perceive a movement of his aura. Kagome's heart felt light as never before. Inuyasha! Inuyasha would be waking up soon!

"K ... Kago ... Kagome ... s ... sama ...?"

His words were little more than a breath, but Kagome was overjoyed. He spoke! He was there!

"Everything's fine, Inuyasha. Everything's fine. I'm here, don't be afraid." She felt a little like she was speaking to a frightened child.

"Where ... where are ... we ...? What ... s passed ... happened?"

"I have no idea where we are exactly. In an alley where you were hiding with the pregnant woman.What's happened? Well, you refused to give the wife and child to Satan ... after you passed out, God showed up here. "She didn't tell him that he almost killed him." I was so afraid for you, "she breathed barely noticeably.

Inuyasha blinked when he heard that last sentence. Even in the dark, his golden eyes flash briefly. What? Was Kagome-sama afraid for him? Why? But he didn't find the strength to ask that. He preferred to use it on sight. Because what Inuyasha thought she saw was an angel. An angel who was his angel? Kagome-sama ...

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Why? I don't understand. How can there be a bond between the snake and Eve?" Asked God blankly. If Satan had been allowed, he would have roasted the dear Lord God properly. This old owl was blind like anything else!
"Why? BECAUSE THAT'S NEITHER THE SNAKE NOR EVE !!"
Something like a jolt seemed to go through God. What? What did Satan say? Neither Snake nor Eve? But ... that ... how? "How?" He asked aloud now. Satan felt an involuntary urge to groan loudly. How could you be so dumbfounded? And especially if you were called God?
The Almighty blinked, gradually realizing that the servant of Satan was neither green nor elongated. And he also realized that Kagome was holy, but far from Eve. And yet ... he didn't like the bond between the two. There should be no connection between good and bad. And yet it existed. Here. And so, everywhere. The twilight was a combination of day and night. Gray one of black and white. There were always connections between things that actually only had in common that they had nothing in common.
"Satan ... when did we lose the threads of the world?"

~~~~~~~~~~
"Kagome-sama ... are you an angel?"

Kagome was overwhelmed by innocence in this matter.So ... his voice had been so soft, so lovable. She didn't know what to answer to that. Should she just say yes? In a way, she was already one.

"Are you ... are you my angel, Kagome-sama?"

Kagome's eyes widened. What? What did he ask? You? You, his angel? Well, carefully ... doesn't everyone need a figure of light, an angel in their life? And she immediately remembered a question. What about those who played the angels? What ... when she saw Inuyasha's eyes, she knew the answer. The other would always be the angel. Always…

"Kagome-sama ... please ... only ... only once ... I ask you, kiss me ..."

And at that moment there wasn't anything that was more important to Kagome. It didn't matter what happened after that. No matter what the world would look like afterwards. All her life she had only thought of the others. Now Kagome wanted to think only of himself, just once. The first and last time in her life.

~~~~~~~~~~

From the street you could see something rising from an inconspicuous alley. Something black and white. The white had large angel wings, as did the black. The people who were on the streets knew which characters were embodied there: an archangel and the fallen angel. Twisted one and strangely divided. Fate dictated that they should never touch. But love had ways that fate could not prevent.

The Archangel and the Fallen parted their hands to flee apart. Both flew away to the place that was predetermined for them, because one could not escape fate forever.

Kagome and Inuyasha would never see each other again, but in heart they would always be united. Because without black, white could not exist.

~~~~~~~~~~

A young woman opened her eyes in the alley. She didn't know how she got there or what she'd done here.She only vaguely remembered the face of a young man, but the memory of it would soon fade. Slowly and carefully, she got up and looked up at the sky. The sky was bathed in a soft blood red. The woman would never know whose presence she was in. She would never know who the man was who brought her down this alley. Yet she would always know that something had happened. But what, she would never find out. It was in God's knowledge ... and in Satan's alone.
Never again would there be such strong representatives in the world. Never again would the bond between light and dark be severed. Because love couldn't be cut, any more than twilight.

~~~~~~~~~~

Nobody, nobody noticed how the wind gently landed a white and a black angel feather on the top of a mighty tree.
