A/N: Okay people, I haven't gotten much feedback, but that's okay, I've come to a decision, I can't write a revenge type fic so forget that I ever wrote that or that you ever read that, one day I may go back and revise it, but not tonight, I've chosen the pairing, but I'm not going to tell you who it is, but you should be able to figure it out by the end of this chap. kiya1821 FYI even if I did go the whole revenge route Souta would not have taken a gun and killed Inu-yasha, perhaps you haven't noticed but Inu-yasha is the GOOD GUY and he is the MAIN CHARACTER I am NOT going to kill him off, but anyway on with the story and thank you everyone who reviewed (catlover55, Kioru, and once again inuyasha-girly-2007)

(the real) Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I will never own Inu-yasha, please don't sue me, I have nothing of value that you might want.

After the funeral was over Inu-yasha stayed at the cemetary and just stood looking on to Kagome's fresh grave. He stood there for what seemed like an eternity, but in reality wasn't more than ten minutes. He felt a light hand on his arm and when he turned to look it was Kikyo. She didn't say a word, she didn't need to her eyes and the reasurring squeeze said everything important. "She forgave me." He said quietly, "and she said to tell you she was sorry and that she was wrong."

A tear slipped out of Kikyo's eye, "She had nothing to be sorry about, she was a good sweet girl, and she had a wonderful guy, she wasn't really wrong."

The wind whipped around them chilling them, winter was just around the corner and you could feel it in the intenseness of the biting wind. "Thank you," he said covering her hand with his own, "I needed that." Slowly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world Inu-yasha took Kikyo into his arms and the two held each other in a comforting embrace.

"How are you planning on getting home, Inu-yasha?"

"I was going to walk."

"Would you prefer a ride?"

Inu-yasha considered her offer for a moment, "Yes," he said, "I think a ride would be nice, but I would like to stay here a moment more."

"Alright, when you're done here I'll be waiting by the entrance." Quietly she slipped away leaving Inu-yasha alone with Kagome once more.

"I love you, Kagome." He whispered then turned to follow after Kikyo.

~*~*~*~The Car~*~*~*~

Kikyo sat inside the car warming it up. She couldn't believe that Kagome had actually said what Inu-yasha had told her she had said. ".she said to tell you she was sorry and that she was wrong." The words meant a lot to her, because she knew what it must have cost Kagome to say them.

She hadn't been waiting long when Inu-yasha slid into the passenger side seat. "Are you ready?"

"As I'm ever going to be."

She shifted the gear to drive and headed out of the cemetary and towards Inu-yasha's home. The ride was a long quiet one, Inu-yasha wasn't talking and she wasn't going to interupt his thoughts. Finally she pulled up in front of his house, "Inu-yasha, if it's not to much to ask, would you tell me what her last words were?" Inu-yasha looked at her for a moment, "If you don't want to tell me that's okay, I understand that they must have been personal."

"No, I'll tell you. They were for you, 'Tell Kikyo that I'm sorry, I was wrong. She loves you too.' Those were her exact words, I'll never forget them." He then climbed out of the car and went into his house.

Kikyo sat in stunned silence. She couldn't believe it, Kagome's last words had been a message to her! Kagome had forgiven her, she just couldn't quite believe it. She pulled herself together and realized that she should probably be heading home too, she shifted gears and drove off in a daze.

A/N: so how was it? I know I haven't written in awhile, and I'm sorry that this chap is short, but school has started back you know. Please please please review, the more reviews I get and the more likely I am to either set aside my homework or to stay up late and work on this. I'll try and make the next chapter longer.
