Disclaimer: Not mine I just use them.



"My spell on you is sapping your strength and soon you'll be dead." Kikyos cold voice explained. "Inuyasha?" a small voice asked from the doorway. Kagome stood in the door, fear filling up her body as she stared at her love writhing on the floor from pain, making adrenaline pump through her body. Kikyo whirled at the sound of her voice and stared at what was in front of her, shocked at the sight of two Kagome's.

"What's wrong? Are you all right?" she called as she ran to her Inuyasha's side. "I'll be fine" he stuttered though Kagome saw he was lying through his teeth. Filled with a blind rage, she slowly stood up, grabbing an arrow from her pack. Tightening her bow, they watched as it turned blue with gathering power. "You psycho witch! You hurt him!" screaming in rage she let the arrow fly and they all watched in amazement as it struck Kikyo in the chest.

"You… actually hit …me!" Kikyo gasped before she fell onto the floor, turning back into the grave soil and bones that she really was. Kagome turned around, seeing her Inuyasha looking better. "Inuyasha?" she happily asked as she through herself into his arms and, to both of their surprise, kissed him happily on the lips. No longer a full demon, he gently kissed her back.

The other Inuyasha stared sadly at what remained of Kikyo. Even though he loved her once, now he was just glad she was gone. He sighed, turned only to find the couple in a seriously heavy make-out session. Blushing furiously he immediately turned his head. Spying Kagome on the floor, he ran toward the shield. "Hey, you two! What's wrong with her?" Seeing the transparent shine surrounding her body, he cried out in alarm, "What is this?!"

At the sound of his voice, the couple separated, both faces blushing. Seeing what had Inuyasha upset, Kagome frowned as she got to her feet to study the shield. Closing her eyes and concentrating she replied, "It's a shield to keep her safe. Basically her soul surrounds the shield to protect the body, protecting it from harm and the only one who can wake her up is her soul mate. He can pass through this to wake her up." "So not anyone can walk through it?" He was surprised that to find himself worried that she would never wake up.

A voice in the back of his head said, 'You know, the only reason you're worried about her not waking up is because you care about her.' 'Shut up! I know I do' he yelled at the voice. And the truth crashed down on him. He'll always love Kikyo because she was his first love but he was IN love with Kagome, more in love than he was with Kikyo. 'I'll tell her' he decided. 'I know she loves me if that Kagome loves the other Inuyasha'. "So her true love can pass through?" he asked peacefully and softly. "Yes that's right" Kagome said. Suddenly what he asked her crashed through her head as her eyes filled with an understanding light. "You decided to tell her?" He merely nodded as the other Inuyasha held his hand up to the shield. For a moment it wavered then reset. "Well it's not me". "It better not be!" Kagome said with a fierce possessiveness. "I guess it's up to me" Inuyasha said as he placed his hand up to the shield. For a moment he felt a resistance than a feeling like a breaking of a dam.

He slowly walked towards her, not knowing what to do. He bent down and gently lifted to her and caressed her face saying, "I love you Kagome" before he placed his lips against hers in a soft kiss. "Come back to me."

Waking up slowly, she heard his soft words. Smiling, she kissed him back saying the words he had waited to hear. "I love you to Inuyasha. Always". He looked down into her shining eyes and gently hugged her, happy.

Some time later, the two Kagomes figured out a spell to take them home. "Let's go home Inuyahsa" Kagome said, reaching out her hand to him. He gently held on and enjoyed how right it felt holding her hand. "I'm already home" he said, pleased to see how the words pleased her. "Have a happy life!" she called as they jumped through the portal. "YOU TO! BE CAREFAL!" the others yelled as they disappeared. Back in their own dimension, Kagome wrapped her arms around him and relaxed, content in his arms "I love you" she murmured. "And I love you". Drifting off to sleep, the two lover dreamed about their future together.
