Thirty-eight

She decided to call Sideswipe.

Of course, it took all of five seconds to come to that conclusion, but she still balked at the thought. She could only imagine just how the conversation would go down, and she was not looking forward to it.

Hey, Sides', she thought sarcastically to herself. How are you? Oh, I'm good. Just sitting on a dead Decepticon. Want to grab a bite to eat?

She pulled her phone out from beneath her robes where it was firmly secured, and scrolled through her messages from the girls until she arrived at Sideswipe's.

With a grimace down at the dead Decepticon, she hit dial.

Her call was answered almost instantly.

"Kagome!" he cried out happily. "You finally called!"

"Erm, yeah."

"How are you? What have you been up to? Did you change your mind about coming to America to see us? Sunny has missed you, even though he would never say so, but-"

"Sides'," Kagome interrupted loudly. "Shut up."

He went silent, then said, "Something happened, didn't it."

"Kind of."

"Are you okay?" he asked, sounding worried.

"For the most part. Just a little tired."

"What happened?"

"I think I was just dragged into your war on accident."
