11: Love Brought Us Together
*Featuring Lyrics from Kelly Osbourne's CD "Shut Up"
"More Than Life Itself" *

"Inu Yasha don't worry I'm coming back. I don't know what happened before with Hojo, but at least I admit I'm in love with you. At least now he won't be coming back anytime soon. Something is wrong isn't it? I sense someone is near you and it's an evil force. I won't let you get hurt again." Kagome thought as she fell through the well.

*You never said you were perfect
But you always are to me
Loving you was always worth it
'Cause you seen so much in me*


She suddenly found herself climbing out of the well and saw Inu Yasha laying on the dirt floor staring up at the sky. Though he sat up and saw Kagome standing above him and he got to his feet brushing off all the dirt. He was bout to hug her when Shippo Jumped down into the well and had a terrified look on his face.

"What's going on?" Kagome asked

"Seshoumoru is back and has a new arm. He's after Inu Yasha and the sword again!" he cried.

"Come on Kagome." Inu Yasha began

Kagome climbed onto his back and she grabbed Shippo as they flew out of the well. As they landed on the ground, Seshoumoru stood along with Jaken a few feet away from them. Inu Yasha stepped forward and then took out his sword.

"I thought I had run you away from me." he began

"Well brother I want that sword. It should of been mine and I have no idea how it got into your hands." Seshoumoru

"You know how! Why the hell should I get into that! Get out of here!"

"Not without the sword."

Suddenly they began fighting and Miroku and Sango tried to help, but saw Kagome signaled them to stay back. They were almost amazed that she had come back, but then Seshoumoru hit the ground hard. His arm had been cut off again and he was bleeding, but he got to his feet and Jaken joined him, but then they disappeared.

"You'll never win! I'll always have the sword you coward!" Inu Yasha shouted

"Do you think they'll be back?" Kagome asked

"Now that the jewel is back together. Though..."

He walked toward her and just hugged her tightly. Tears fell from Kagome's eyes and onto the ground. Soon Kagome pushed back and kissed Inu Yasha's cheek and then they just held each other.

*And when I'm down you're there to lift me
You come around just when I need a friend.
No one loves me like you don unconditional and true,
You're the shoulder that I've always known
And they hand that says I'm not alone
More than myslef, I love you more than life it self.*

"Why don't we head back to Kaede's village and return the jewel to it's rightful place." Miroku suggested.

"It seems like an idea, but who's going to guard it?" Kagome asked

"Maybe we should live there and protect it. Kikyo would of wanted someone to look after it. It might as well be her reencarnated self." Inu Yasha replied.

"I guess I am becoming more like her, since I came here."

"You are."

That night they camped out by the Bone Eaters Well. As the fire crackled Inu Yasha and Kagome stared into the flames. Miroku and Sango were asleep and so was Shippo.

"What made you come back?" Inu Yasha asked

"I sensed something was wrong. It felt like this sharp ping in my head and I had to leave while it was still light outside." she replied

"Kagome, I never meant to send you away."

"Just glad to be back. What are you going to do with the jewel? Would you want to be human? Or a full demon?"

There was silence and Inu Yasha didn't answer. She sighed and laid her head on his lap and closed her eyes. He ran his fingures through her black hair and soon fell asleep. The next morning Kagome and her friends arrived in Kaede's village and went straight to her home. As they came in they saw she was healing a person, but she signaled for them to come inside.

They all sat down and then she turned to her new visitors. Kagome lifted the jewel necklace from underneath her blouse and gave it to Kaede.

"Yee have put it back to together. After taking many day to find all the shards, you've returned with a whole jewel." she began

"Yes, but we were all hoping we could live here and protect it. As the reencartnated priestess I wish to be the jewel's new protector." Kagome interrupted

"My sister would of wanted it this way. Yee are all welcome to be the new protectors of the jewel."

That night Kagome and her friends moved into a hut near where the jewel was put. Kagome and Inu Yasha shared a room, while Shippo joined Mirkou and Sango. As Kagome was changing she noticed Inu Yasha behind her and undressing her. She turned to face him.

She smiled and then kissed his soft lips as they fell back onto their bed. As they kissed Inu Yasha began to untie his kimono. Soon he entered her once again and she was ontop. Her cries filled the room as he began to go faster, but then she got off and put her back to him. Though she entered him from her ass and began to cry out in pleasure. Their bodies were covered in sweat, but they reached their climax and she laid down on his chest, she felt his heart pounding.

"Inu Yasha, would you want to come to the future with me? Just for one day?" Kagome whispered

"It does sound like an adventure, but yes for one day." he replied

"I know things will be different, but don't worry I'll show you everything."

"Great."
