Disclaimer- I'm am so sorry! I know almost a year! But the past four or five months I have been grounded, I still am! But I want to write more! Thanks so much to everyone you has reviewed! I love you!

When Kagome opened her eyes she instantly closed them again. There was a blinding white light trying to seep into her closed tired eyes. Suddenly it was dark and her eyes fluttered open.

"Hello?" Kagome croaked painfully.

"Shhhh, it's me Inuyasha," Kagome felt a cool hand on her forehead.

Kagome's world turned black again as she passed out from fatigue. Inuyasha watched her and held her hand anxious to tell her the good and bad news. But even the good news was depressing.

Hours later when Kagome sat up from the bed she had been laying in for the past week, she looked around. Inuyasha sat there staring at her with wide eyes.

A doctor had given her some medicine while she was asleep to make sure she wouldn't wake up for a while. She was supposed to be asleep for a few more hours at least. Inuyasha just shrugged it off as her being to strong to let a drug keep her down.

"Hey," Inuyasha whispered not wanting to startle her. He handed her a glass of water that she gulped down immediately.

"Where is Sango? Is she ok? Miroku? Everybody? Onigumo?" Kagome rambled off worriedly.

"Miroku is fine just some wear and tear. Everybody, well very few died…I'm sorry. Onigumo is very dead! You took care of him just fine." Inuyasha never mentioned Sango.

"Sango, what happened?" Kagome's eyes narrowed at the guy who would not tell her what she needed to know.

"She's alive," Kagome sighed, "but she's blind in one eye. The blood from at wound poured into her left eye for hours leaving her blind." Inuyasha saw the guilt flash and darken Kagome's features.

"I never should have brought her into this. This is my entire fault!" Kagome would have rambled on more if Sango had not have just put her hand over said girls mouth.

"I love you," was all Sango said.

"But I could have-,"

"I love you," Sango said again.

"But-"

"I love you,"

"Why?" Kagome clung to Sango and sobbed until she couldn't breathe.

"Shh it's ok…shh baby. I love you," Sango rubbed slow circles on her sisters back.

"I love you too!" Kagome cried into Sango's shoulder.

Sango pulled away slightly and brushed a kiss over Kagome's damp forehead. Kagome could now see the slightly glossy look in Sango's left eyes. Bruises and scrapes ran down a usually perfect face.

Kagome had let one thing destroy her life, love. Wasn't it supposed to make you giddy? But it had nearly killed her because she walked away from everything. And she had dragged Sango into it. She would never forgive herself she knew this for a fact. But Kagome also knew that she was already forgiven by Sango. And that meant more than anything in the world to her.

Sango watched with loving eyes as she saw Kagome forgive herself just a little. 'She's finally letting go,' Sango thought.

Sango knew that without Kagome she would have been dead by now already. Of course she was pissed off when she found out she couldn't see with one eye. She was scared to death, but never had she blamed Kagome for it.

"Were ok and that is all that matters," Sango held her hand tightly, never wanting to let go.

"Do you need some time too…?" Inuyasha fell silent.

"No, she's all yours I need to speak to someone," Sango stood up wincing but again kissed Kagome on the head and walked out of the room, closing the door silently.

Silence, minutes past and neither person spoke. Nerves were being grated on and had been for awhile. Kagome thought about what she should say. What was she supposed to do when once the love of her life was standing beside her?

Inuyasha just wondered if the beautiful girl beside him would care if he just touched her. Just a slight touch on the shoulder to show that he cared, because he never stopped loving Kagome. He decided against it, she looked as if she was thinking about something important.

"What are we?" they asked at the same time. Nervous laughter filled the air.

"What do you want us to be?" Kagome asked when she saw Inuyasha had no intention of answering the question.

"I never wanna leave you. I don't ever want to see you hurt. I want to protect you forever," Inuyasha avoided eye contact at all costs.

"That will take a lot of hard work…" Kagome looked outside watching the sun come up.

Indeed it would take a lot of work. Tears would be shed, pain will come and go. Happiness will consume them. Jealousy will hurt both of them.

But isn't that a part of all relationships?

But as the sun peaked, making light shine on them both, holding hands. They knew that they could do anything they wanted to.

Life is filled with good times and bad times.

But we can't let the bad ones change our lives forever.

OK! Now this IS NOT THE END! There is ONE more chapter left! Maybe TWO at the most!
