Chapter 3: Solutions

Kagome bounced into the flat, her clothes still immaculate, several hours later, humming a cheerful tune. John and Sherlock looked up from their newspaper and phone, respectively, and rolled their eyes. Sherlock put his phone away.

"So, they're now at the Yard?" Sherlock asked. Kagome walked into the living room and plonked herself down on the couch with a satisfied air.

"Yep." She smiled, a complete turn around form earlier. "They were unharmed… for the most part. Physically, at least." She snickered. "I can't tell you the psychological damage though." Sherlock took a deep breath.

"Because they hurt me?" Kagome's eyes flickered with silver.

"Yes." She said simply. Sherlock's eyes widened, but a small smile tugged at his lips.

"Thank you." Kagome didn't say anything, just waved a dismissive hand. Sherlock saw her smile and how her eyes brightened at the expression of gratitude though.

John cleared his throat hesitantly and put his newspaper down, making his way towards his room. The light that Kagome had just gained dimmed a little, as did her smile. She stayed with him for a few more minutes, but her eyes kept on going to where John went. Sherlock eventually made an excuse about doing an experiment and smiled when he saw the gratitude as she left for John's room.

Knocking on John's door, she waited until she heard him say she could come in. "Hello, Kagome." He sounded tired.

"John." She replied, entering and closing the door behind her. "What is it you wish to say?" She watched him sigh and then look at her.

"Was what you said true?" Kagome rose an eyebrow.

"When have I ever lied?" Thinking about it, she added, "Apart from Moriarty. Everything I said was the truth." John leaned back, a resigned look on his face.

"So, I betrayed you?" Kagome hesitantly nodded. "Do you feel anything for me anymore?" She thought about it for a minute, unsure and knowing that she hadn't revised anything.

"I don't trust you anymore. I don't feel comfortable around you anymore." John frowned, almost crumbling, knowing that he did deserve it. "But… the affection is still there and my heart is still yours." She winked at his surprised expression. "After all, haven't I told you that I have no need of it?" She ignored his surprised expression and was very, very serious again. She straightened, eyes narrowing. "But that doesn't mean that you are free to insult me once again. My instincts will never trust you again." She smiled grimly. "My base nature doesn't allow for second chances." John's expression tightened.

"Got it." Her eyes lightened to an icy blue and she walked forward until she was practically on top of the doctor.

"Good." She purred as she climbed onto his lap, one leg on each side, and moved her face closer until she could feel his breath on her lips. "Well then, are you willing to continue our relationship?" She smiled slowly, eyes shimmering slightly with silver. "While my instincts will never trust you again… doesn't mean that I can't learn again." She said quietly. He smiled and she felt his arm come up to rest on her waist.

"I think I could bare it."

As promised, the third and final chapter of this story. Sorry about the short chapter and the ending, it's a bit soppy for taste, but everyone's different. Hope you enjoyed this story!
