Chapter 11: Redemption

Kagome held the Shikon no Tama in her hand. And thought about what to do. Kagome looked at the jewel in her hand. I should wish that I never met Inuyasha. Kagome shook her head. I don't really don't want to do that to that do I? Yes. I don't want anything to with that filthy half-breed. I'll just go home and never come back. Kagome gave the jewel back to Kikyo and said, "I'm going home. And I'm not coming back." Inuyasha looked up. "Kagome, please, don't go." Kagome turned away and headed to the well

Kagome was sitting at the kitchen table and thinking about what had just happened. Then the phone rang. Kagome didn't get up to answer so Sota did. "Hello." He said. "Yeah. Hold on." Sota put the phone down "Hey Kagome, it's Ayume on the phone, she and Yuka are at Eri's house at want to know if you want to come over." Sota said. It'll probably be a good idea to talk to them. Kagome thought. "Tell Ayume I'm on my way." Kagome said getting up. Sota nodded and repeated Kagome's message.

"So, how have you been?" Ayume asked. Kagome sighed. "Not too good." Eri looked up "Having trouble with your violent two-timing boyfriend still?" Kagome nodded. Eri, Ayume and Yuka shouted in unison " No way you're still going out with him? It's been five years move on already." Kagome sighed and told them about her recent fights and everything that had happened between them up to this point. As soon as Kagome was done explaining about the most recent happenings between her and Inuyasha to her friends she said, "Hey, It's been a while since we've done anything all together like this, how about a sleepover at my house tonight?" her friends looked at each other and nodded. "That's a good idea." A few minutes later Eri, Ayume and Yuka were ready to go. As they were walking to Kagome's house they kept up the conversation. "So, you gave him a locket with your pictures in it and took it back?" Kagome nodded. Kagome squinted in to the setting sun. Then she saw a familiar figure with long silver hair blowing in the wind. The she recognized two triangular ears on the top of his head. Kagome gasped. Inuyasha. She thought. Kagome's anger suddenly disappeared. Kagome ran ahead of her friends. "Kagome!" Eri shouted. She Yuka and Ayume were running to catch up. But Kagome kept running until she was in the hanyo's arms. By the time Eri, Ayume and Yuka caught up, Inuyasha and Kagome already had their arms around each other. " Kagome, is this your boyfriend?" Eri asked. Kagome didn't seem to hear her. "Kagome?" Kagome couldn't hear her friends' voices she was caught up in her own world while in Inuyasha's arms. Kagome sighed happily. "Inuyasha, I'm sorry. I take everything I said back." Inuyasha smiled "Even the sits?" Kagome grinned "Let me see if I can make it up to you." She said stretching up and brought her lips to his. Kagome closed her eyes and wished for this moment, this kiss to last forever. Kagome's friends spoke in hushed tones, "Is that him?" Eri wondered aloud. "Probably not," Yuka said, "Kagome said she was mad at her boyfriend." "I think they're made up." Ayume observed. All three of them nodded.
