Kagome's cryling calmed down into sniffes, "We sniff can at least cover her wounds sniff."

Inuyasha picked Kikyo up, her "lifeless body" lay still. "Let's go back to the Kaede's village, you guys." The woman felt cold against him, how could she have lost? Blood seeped from her wounds wtih each jump.

Kohaku looked at her his sister's pained face and put his arm around her shoulder.

Kagome rode Kirara long with the others, tears stained her cheeks. All of a sudden tears started flowing down again, she quickly wiped them off. She sniffed and held onto Kirara's fur even tighter. "She knew this was going to happen."

Everyone turned to Kagome with surprised looks on their faces. "She didn't want to get close to us . . . because she knew this was going to happen. She didn't want to see us suffer on her account." She stopped crying and wiped the remaining tears off her face.

Kirara stepped onto he hard ground along with Inuyasha. Everyone got down from Kirara. Inuyasha set Kikyo down in the hut, leaving Sango and Kagome to tend the wounds.

"You guys have to get out so I can treat her wounds," Kagome ordered.

"Understood," Miroku bowed his head and exited the room along with Inuyasha and Shippo and Kohaku.

An few hours later Kagome came out of the hut with Sango trailing behind. "You can go in Inuyasha," Kagome said softly into his ear. Inuyasha quickly ran into the hut.

"Kikyo," Inuyasha kneeled down next to her. Kikyo was covered in bandages, she was pretty beaten up. Inuyasha ran his fingers through her hair "I love you, Kikyo . . ."

"I love you too," Kikyou shot her hand up to caress him. Inuyasha's eyes widened, "You're alive!" He put his hands on the sides of her face.

"I don't die easily," Kikyo smiled for the first time in their journey, unlike her usual evil smirks this one was genuine. "But, I'm not sure I can live through this one. My body's in total pain right now."

Sanog quickly grabbed Kagome by the shoulders, "Do you have the jewel?! We can use it to save Kikyo!"

Kagome smiled and took out the jewel from her shirt, "Let's hurry, you guys!" Kagome ran to the hut with the others following her. She ran in the hut and saw Kikyo smiling at Inuyasha. "Kikyo! You're alive!" Kagome laughed.

Sango hugged Shippo, gleefully. "I see you're alive, Kikyo sama." Miroku said with a smile.

"Geez when I wake up you guys get all noisy," Kikyo said, smiling.

"We can't help it!" Shippo said happily. He gave Kikyo a warm hug.

"Now what do we do with the jewel?" Kagome asked as she held the sphere in the air. "I know! Do you want to see your mother alive again, Kikyo?!"

Kikyo shot her a pained look, "It's better to leave her be."

Kagome immediately regretted what she said, " Do you guys know anything?" Everyone shook their heads. Kagome looked at the jewel, it soon disappeared along with Kikyo's wounds. "That's better isn't it?"

"Thank you ,Kagome" Kikyo said.

"I know what we can eat," Kagome searched her bag. "I don't have anymore, I forgot. I'll be back." She ran to the well.

"We'll leave you alone," Miroku said as he dragged Sango, Kohaku and Shippo outside.

Inuyasha turned back to Kikyo. She got up from the futon and whispered into his ear, "The other reason I decided to help you, was to be near you. This was the only reason I can come up with." Kikyo laughed slightly. Her laugh was covered by Inuyasha's lips pressing onto her mouth. She was surprised, but she kissed him back.

"Higurashi!" Hojo ran to her.

"Oh hi, Hojo," she smiled. The potato chips dropped from her hand. She bent down to pick them up.

"I see, you're better. Are you coming to school tomorrow?" Hojo asked as he handed her the remaining potato chips. Kagome looked back the well. "What're you looking at, Higurashi?"

"Oh nothing! Sure I'm . . .going to go to school tomorrow." Kagome said.

Hojo blushed, "That's good, I was wondering if you would go out with me on Saturday. Would that be okay with you?"

Kagome thought about Inuyasha and Kikyo, "I'd love to, Hojo."

Hojo's face seemed relieved and happy, " I'll see you Saturday then!" He ran down the stairs of the Higurashi Shrine.

Kagome smiled even wider and stuffed the potato chips in her yellow bag. She jumped down the well, but she couldn't get through, "Huh!?" She clawed the ground. "Inuyasha!"

"What?" Inuyasha asked. Inuyasha and Kikyo stood above Kagome. "You guys! You're together now?" Kagome asked excitedly.

"Yes," both Inuyasha and Kikyo said timidly. Kagome hugged both of them.

"Guess what? I gave someone a chance too, hehe!" Kagome looked up. "A shooting star! Make a wish!"

Kikyo and Inuyasha held hands like any normal couple would do.

The end! I hope this wasn't too sudden of an ending! My stories list is getting longer, I may write another story. I'm not sure about it though.
