When Kagome woke up it was pitch black outside.
The first thing she noticed was that everyone, but InuYasha
"Where is... InuYasha?" she asked trying to get up.
"He went outside to get rid of Kouga," said Miroku.
"Is Kouga gone?" asked Kagome
"Yes, until our next battle with Naraku. And he just might bring someone you know with him."said Miroku.
"What did InuYasha say to him?" said Sango who had been listening.
"Oh this and that," said Miroku giving her a look that said 'I'll tell you later.
"Miroku?" asked Kagome.
"Yes" asked Miroku.
"Will you go get InuYasha and tell him that I need to talk to him" asked Kagome.
"Certainly" said Miroku walking out of the hut.
About five minutes later InuYasha came bursting through the straw door.
"What is it Kagome? Are you okay?" InuYasha asked Kagome worried about her.
Kagome gave Sango a look that asked her to leave and take the others with her.
"Hey Shippo you want to come out and play with Kirara and me?" asked Sango.
"Yeah!" said Shippo jumping up and down.
"Miroku, you should come to." giving Miroku a look that said 'come or die.
"Okay" said Miroku a little scared a Sango at the moment.
"As I was saying are you okay?" asked InuYasha.
"Did you mean what you said?" asked Kagome her bangs covering her face.
"What are you talking about?"asked InuYasha worried that Kagome heard what he told Kikyo about her and didn't
love him back.
"When you said I shouldn't deserve to hurt so badly" said Kagome thinking of how she was going to ask InuYasha
how he feels about her.
"Yes I meant it. You are very special to me." said InuYasha blushing at what he just said.
"You're very special to me too InuYasha." said Kagome.
When InuYasha was still silent Kagome spoke again.
"InuYasha you know that you're my best friend right." said Kagome blushing a little.
"Kagome, you are my best friend too. Before I met you I never trusted anyone.I didn't even
trust Kikyo as much as I trust you." said InuYasha getting closer to Kagome.
InuYasha, then pulled Kagome into a gentle embrace because of her wounds.
"Kagome how did Kikyo hurt you and how did you hurt your head?" asked InuYasha pulling back so he could look into her eyes.
"Well I had just got out of the well and saw Kikyo's soul collectors. I wanted to see what she was doing,
so he followed the soul collectors until I saw her in the clearing. I was watching her move around when I
fell out of the bushes I was hiding in and scratched my forehead against one of the branches. Kikyo saw me
and I sensed that she was angry at me and only me. She got ready to shoot me with an arrow saying 'You need
to stay in your own era. Stay away from InuYasha. As soon as Naraku is dead he will be coming to hell with
me.' I told her that I didn't care. I was still going to stay with you.Then Kikyo called me a bitch and shot
me. I pulled the arrow out of my side and blood started gushing out of where the arrow was.I kept screaming
until I sensed you were coming. You got there and you know the rest" said Kagome.
"Kagome why don't you go to sleep okay." said InuYasha.
"Okay" said Kagome.
Kagome and InuYasha both fell asleep. InuYasha was holding Kagome with her in his lap and his arms wrapped around her waist. Everyone came in and saw the couple sleeping and decided to go to sleep themselves. Each were in their own little dream world.
