Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha.

Chapter 30

Kikyou's eyes focused on her opponent. That girl had changed her life and it hadn't been in a good way. She stole the love and attention of everyone including Inuyasha. Now the girl was a miko! Kikyou knew that she had to get rid of this nuisance at once, then her life would return to what it used to be.

Her eyes averted to Inuyasha, the guy who she wanted. If she were to destroy Kagome she would have to get Inuyasha out of the way for a while.

"You may be a miko but you have no idea how to control your powers so that means that I will have no trouble killing you!" Kikyou said. Inuyasha growled.

"Not if I can't get to you first!" Inuyasha said. Kagome stopped the hanyou before her could jump towards Kikyou.

" Wait, I want to fight her!"

" Kagome, are you crazy! She's a powerful miko! I can't risk the chance of you getting hurt!" Inuyasha argued.

" Please."

" No Kagome! It's too dangerous!"

Kikyou smirked and looked over at the hanyou. "Let the girl do what she wants." Inuyasha then found himself surrounded by a powerful force field. He tried using his claws to get out but the barrier wouldn't budge.

"Don't try and escape Inu sweetie cause no type of youkai could get out," Kikyou said. She averted her gaze to Kagome who was still glowing.

" Now, let's go!" she said and shot an energy beam at Kagome. Kagome closed her eyes and soon found herself surrounded by a barrier. When Kikyou's beam hit it caused a huge crash and Kikyo fell backwards because of the pressure.

Kagome looked shocked. Had she done that? She looked at her glowing hands in shock. Kagome looked back at Kikyou who was lying on the ground.

"You're, you're..." Kikyo said and got up slowly. Her eyes were filled with shock but held anger at the same time. Kikyo began to glow again and Kagome found herself floating in the air.

Kagome was then brought to face Kikyou. The evil miko put her arms around Kagome's neck and began to choke her. Kagome struggled but somehow she couldn't move!

Kikyou applied more pressure to the girl's neck. Using all her power Kagome reached her hand up to Kikyou's and tried to pull it back. Kagome closed her eyes in pain when she felt her hand being burned.

"Give up! As I told you before you can't win!"

Tears began to form in Kagome's eyes. Was she really going to die? What about her friends? Will they be okay?

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled out to his girlfriend. "Kagome!"

Her eyes opened a little. ' Inuyasha?'

" You can do it Kagome!" said a voice. 'Inuyasha.'

Kagome opened her eyes completely to stare at the girl. She had a devilish grin on her face and was staring directly at her.

"Guess it's all over. I'll miss you! NOT!" Kikyou laughed.

" I...I'm...not going to lose! No-not to you. I'll...wi-win and save my friends from you!" Kagome said. A blue light surrounded the two and Kikyou flew back to the wall and hit her head. It began to bleed profusely.

Kagome fell to the ground but she was still conscious. She looked up at Kikyou. Kikyou stood up and fell down again. Kagome lifted herself off the ground off the ground and stared at her enemy with pity. She turned her back and walked away. Kikyou smirked.

" Do you think that I'll lose that easily? Guess again!" Kikyou said and began to glow. Kagome looked back at her in shock.

Before Kikyou could shoot, a light came by her. Kagome watched puzzled as a tall youkai held Kikyou up by the collar of her shirt.

" Dare to hurt anyone else and I'll kill you!" he threatened. Kikyou gulped. The youkai raised a hand up to her and Kikyou fainted.

He dropped her to the ground and looked at Rin who lay on the ground. He walked up to her small frame and picked her up.

"Rin," he said and shook her gently.

" Um, excuse me but could you tell me who are you?" Kagome asked politely.

" That's my brother Sesshoumaru," someone said. Kagome turned around to see Inuyasha walking towards her. She threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.

" Inuyasha! You're okay! How did you get out?"

" I don't know what happened when Kikyou fainted I was released." Inuyasha said. Kagome smiled at him.

" Well I'm glad you're okay!" Kagome looked around and then remembered her friends. "Oh no! Sango! Miroku!"

Kagome and Inuyasha ran towards them. Kagome took Sango's head and rested it on her lap. " Sango? Sango? Please answer me!" Kagome begged her friend.

" Kagome?" Sango said softly.

" You're okay!"

" Yeah but my head is pounding!" Sango exclaimed and picked herself up. Kagome hugged her friend immediately.

" You wouldn't believe what happened!"

" You could tell me all about it later," Sango looked around and spotted an unconscious Miroku. "Miroku-sama!"

Sango got up and ran towards the boy. She knelt down next to him. " Miroku-sama! Wake up! Please! I'll give you a kiss if you do!" Sango said.

" Really?" Miroku asked in a shaky voice. Sango's eyes widened.

"You're okay?" she asked.

" Once I see your face I'll always be okay!" he said. Sango blushed and hugged him.

"I love you Sango!" Miroku said and kissed her cheek. "And I'm sorry! Will you ever forgive me?"

" I love you too and if you give me a kiss then maybe I will!" Sango said. Sango soon found Miroku un top of her kissing her passionately. Sango moaned and continued to kiss him back. Miroku nipped at her lips a little and then pulled away.

They both were painting heavily as they stared at each other lovingly. "Guess I forgive you! I love you!" Sango said and earned another kiss from Miroku.

" I love you too!" Miroku responded.

Kagome and Inuyasha watched from a distance as their friends made up. Kagome smiled as Inuyasha made a face.

"Do they have to do that in public?" Inuyasha asked. Kagome looked up to him and smiled devilishly.

"But you don't mind when we do that in public," Kagome said. Inuyasha blushed at her comment.

"That's because no one watches us and I always find a private area to do that!" Inuyasha shot back at her. Kagome leaned up and kissed him gently on the lips. That was when she remembered that Rin was still unconscious.

Kagome pulled away from Inuyasha earning a pout from him. " Rin I forgot Rin!" Kagome said and ran by her cousin who was now standing. She hugged her cousin.

" Rin! Are you hurt?" Kagome asked her cousin.

"No Kagome I'm fine," Rin replied and hugged her cousin back. After and while of hugging Rin turned back to Sesshoumaru.

"That date still on?" Rin asked. Kagome almost screamed. Her cousin had a date!

" Yeah." Sesshoumaru replied. Before anyone could blink Rin and Sesshoumaru were kissing each other.

"Guys," someone interrupted the two. "Not in public."

The two pulled away to see everyone looking at them with an amused looked. Rin blushed and Sesshoumaru smiled His eyes suddenly averted to Kikyou she was now standing looking at them.

"You there, girl!" Sesshoumaru said. " Do you know that what you tried to do could get you in jail?"

" I..."

"I could turn you in but I won't. I'm the owner of the Tama industry. A very powerful organization! I could blackmail you but I won't. If you try to harm anyone you won't be so lucky. Don't even try to hurt a hair on any of these people's heads or else! I have eyes everywhere so I'll know if you're up to something! Now go!" Sesshoumaru said. Kikyou nodded and disappeared.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha's brother. "Thank you very much!" she said. Sesshoumaru nodded as the group headed back to the reunion, swearing not to say a word to anyone.

When they arrived Kagome immediately began to look for her mother with Inuyasha. When she did find her she was with Mrs. Kinata in deep conversation.

Kagome took a deep breath before speaking. " Mama, I have some thing to tell you."

" What is it dear?' Mrs. Higurashi asked.

" Inuyasha and I are...are ..are together!" Kagome blurted out. Mrs. Higurashi smiled at the two.

" I know," she said.

" You know but how?" Inuyasha asked.

" I saw you two kissing in a corner earlier today then I called Souta and Grandpa and we watched you two together."

Inuyasha and Kagome sweat dropped. " Mama then why didn't you tell us?"

"Because I knew you were going to tell me eventually. You're not very good under pressure dear," Mrs. Higurashi said.

" Mama! I do not!" Kagome argued. Mrs. Higurashi smiled, gave her daughter a quick her and whispered in her ear.

"I want grandchildren with cute ears like his okay!"

Kagome and Inuyasha blushed. " Mama!" Kagome said.

The family reunion turned out great. Everyone had fun and Likla actually stopped flirting with guys. As Kagome sat down next to Inuyasha she knew no matter what happened she would love him forever and nothing and no one would break them apart. Kikyou was gone and was never coming back! No one would get in between them.

" Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

" Yeah?"

" I love you!" she said.

" I love you too Kagome!" Inuyasha kissed her and looked deeply into her eyes. They knew that their love for each other would conquer all no matter what problems might occur. Love was truly a powerful thing.
