During the final battle with Naraku, Kagome stopped and watched as her dear friend and supposed protector finally chose between the past and the present, as she watched InuYasha pick up Kikyo and place her out of the path of Naraku's tentacles and almost got Kagome killed were it not for Lord Sesshomaru who with one strike of his sword killed the evil being who walked the earth for too long.
As Naraku's head came rolling up to Kagome's feet with a face of shock still on its face she kneeled down and purified it quickly then stood running up to the now headless body to take the jewel that was tainted a dark purple, within the second she touched the jewel it became pure again. Looking around her she saw that all her friends were alive with only small cuts and some bruises, she then turned to Sesshomaru who had yet to leave the area, "Thank you for saving me, Lord Sesshomaru." Said Kagome smiling, "I could have been dead if you didn't act as quickly as you did."
Sesshomaru tilted his head in acknowledgement and replied, "This Sesshomaru is also grateful that you did not die at the hands of that vile creature as well miko." Kagome looked confused and asked, "Why are you glad that I didn't die, I thought you would have at least wanted me hurt a little bit." Sesshomaru sighed inwardly and replied, "Miko, this Sesshomaru has great respect for you, had I not you would have been dead by my hands only, you are a powerful being who deserves respect and gratitude from others lower and equal to you." If you had seen Kagome's face along with all her companions you would have laughed, eyes big as dinner plates and jaws on the ground the Lord Sesshomaru was stared at for quite some time til Kagome finally said, "U..um t-thank you Lord Sesshomaru, I hadn't realized that you would have paid any attention to me whatsoever though I thank you for saying that."
Kagome then turned to her friends and looked at their injuries to see if they needed any stitches or bandages, Sango and Miroku were both full of cuts but none were bad so she just cleaned them and covered them with band aids. Kagome didn't even look at InuYasha and Kikyo who were standing only a few feet away from the group and called out for Shippo who had been hiding since the first sign of Naraku had come; the small fox child came jumping out of a well-hidden bush and into her arms trying to see if she had been hurt. Kagome giggled and shushed the kit before saying, "It's okay now Shippo I'm fine and so is everyone else we won the battle and now we need rest, why don't you go with Miroku and get firewood?" Shippo grinned and hopped onto Miroku's shoulder and they both went into the forest to gather wood.
