Chapter 7: Kagome Returns
Inu-Yasha and Sesshoumaru came to the subway station. Kagome's body was still lying there in the puddle of blood. Sesshoumaru pulled Tensusaiga from its sheath and used its magic on Kagome while Inu-Yasha sat by her side. Kagome's eyes opened, "Inu-Yasha? I'm…I'm alive?" She saw Sesshoumaru standing behind Inu-Yasha, "Look out!" she yelled.
"Its okay, I'm on your side now," Sesshoumaru said. "Sesshoumaru used Tensusaiga to revive you, if it weren't for him you'd still be dead," Inu-Yasha explained, "I…I never told you this, and when Caleb killed you, I was sure I never would…Kagome, I love you," he brought her to her feet and held her in his arms, "I always loved you, but I just couldn't say it, and I don't want you to die again without me telling you."
"I love you too, Inu-Yasha," Kagome said and kissed him. "I didn't realize it until now, but I don't think I could go on living if that first time we kissed was the last," Inu-Yasha said. "I hate to spoil the moment," Sesshoumaru said, "But time's not exactly on our side, and we need to get that jewel back before it falls into the Cabal's hands."
"Yes," Inu-Yasha said, "Come on, we were down this corridor when he knocked me out." He led them down the corridor following Caleb's scent.
He followed the scent to a janitorial closet. He opened the door, and there stood Caleb with two women standing by him and a man emerging from the jewel in his hand. Caleb looked shocked, "You?! I killed you, both of you."
"We revived Kagome, and it'll take a lot more than that to kill me," Inu-Yasha said, ready to attack. "No matter," Caleb said, "I have the jewel and I've resurrected the other Chosen, you're too late."
"That's what you think," Inu-Yasha said as he ran at Caleb with the Tetsusaiga. Brilliant light shot out of the Shikon no Tama, and the Tetsusaiga sliced through empty air. When the light faded away nothing was left to show that the Chosen were in that room. "Are they gone?" Kagome asked. "No," Inu-Yasha answered, "Caleb used the jewel to take him somewhere else, it'll be hard to find him now."
"What's that hissing sound?" Sesshoumaru asked. "Sounds like its coming from this, whatever it is," Inu-Yasha said, picking up a lit stick of dynamite that Caleb left on the floor. "Get rid of it!" Kagome yelled as she jumped out of the closet pulling Sesshoumaru with her. "Huh?" Inu-Yasha said. The dynamite exploded. Flames shot out of the closet and Inu-Yasha was thrown against the opposite wall of the hallway. "Inu-Yasha, are you okay?" Kagome asked.
Inu-Yasha stood up, "Never been better," he said sarcastically, "We should be getting back home, Miroku and Sango need to be filled in on what's happened." Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Inu-Yasha walked back to the subway station and boarded the train to Tokyo.
