KAGOME
I waited, almost impatiently in Kaede's hut.
"Are they here yet?" Shippou asked for the twenty-seventh time. Inuyasha finally cracked and hit Shippou in the head. They promptly began arguing. Kaede sighed and attempted to separate the two.
"Not yet," I answered as soon as Kaede was able to successfully pull them apart; her face a little bruised.
"Kagome! Shippou! Inuyasha!" We heard a familiar voice call.
"Sango!" I squealed, and ran out of the hut. She and Miroku were standing there, looking very windswept; I supposed Sesshomaru had dropped them down while soaring in the air.
"Kagome!"
Immediately the two of us hugged. I could feel myself crying; tears of joy of course.
"Okay, ladies, break it up," Miroku joked. I speedily detached myself, and turned to hug Miroku. "Kagome! That's embarrassing," he complained.
Shippou came out and also went to hug the two of them. Inuyasha stood a little far off.
"You should have stayed longer," Inuyasha said gruffly, looking away.
"Admit it, Inuyasha, you were just as worried about them as we were," Shippou said loudly, smirking at Inuyasha. He promptly collared the little fox and sent him flying to the moon.
Sango and Miroku laughed.
"It's nice to know you cared, Inuyasha," Miroku teased. Inuyasha glared at him.
Sango turned to me. "Kagome, Kikyou said that we should be there tomorrow, just to be sure."
I nodded. "I can't wait...I want to be myself again."
"I suppose you do," Kaede said, coming out her hut. "It's good to see you again, Miroku, Sango."
Miroku smiled at her. "Your sister was very nice," he said softly.
"Yeah...I guess I misjudged her," Sango admitted. "She was really kind to us."
"I know she is," I said, feeling happy that they were all getting along. "Kikyou was very polite to me."
Inuyasha looked away, but I could see a small smile forming in his mouth. "That's good," he muttered to himself; but I heard it.
Kaede beckoned for Sango and Miroku to get in and have some food, Shippou immediately followed. They left Inuyasha and me standing there.
"Inuyasha..." I looked at him. "Kikyou and I talked about you."
He spun around so fast I could have sworn he was a hurricane. He went up to me, then, without warning, he hugged me.
"Inuyasha!?" I squeaked, not knowing how to react.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha hugged me tighter. "I want you to know, I love you. I really do. Kikyou...she's only a bittersweet romance of my past. But it's the present that matters, and you're my present, so it's you I love."
I smiled at the simple but sincere declaration. I hugged him back. "I love you too, Inuyasha." Then he tilted my chin, then moved very close. I closed my eyes...anticipating the kiss...
"Are you guys coming in or what!?" Shippou suddenly popped out of the hut. Shocked, we quickly moved away from each other.
"Sure, Shippou," I said in a really high voice. Shippou blinked at us, then went back in the hut.
"Let's go," Inuyasha said with a small smile on this face, and he took my hand.

KIKYOU
I stood there next to the tree, waiting for Kagome and her friends.
"They'll be here soon," Sesshomaru murmured. He was standing next to me.
I smiled involuntarily; I was now sure of my feelings for him, and his feelings for me. I felt so happy; my first love might have been a failure, but my second would succeed. "Where's Rin?"
"With Jaken," he said softly.
I leaned against him, feeling his warmth. "It's so peaceful," I said, enjoying the serenity of the scene.
"Yeah..." Without warning, Sesshomaru kissed me. It was so gentle and sweet, as if I was some fragile china doll. He held on me tight, and deepened the kiss. I kissed him back, losing myself in the kiss...
"Are we interrupting something?" Kagome's voice asked, amused.
Immediately, we broke apart. Sesshomaru glared at Kagome, and Inuyasha glared back at him. I didn't realize that he was there.
"Sango and Miroku didn't want to come," Kagome continued, a small smile on her lips. "But Inuyasha insisted on coming."
"You never know what my half-brother might try to pull," Inuyasha hissed, eyeing his brother malevolently.
I rolled my eyes. "When will you two grow up?" I asked exasperatedly.
"I'm asking myself the same thing," Kagome said, smiling at me. We both laughed.
Kagome and I both sat on a rock, talking like old friends, while Inuyasha and Sesshomaru decided to have a glaring contest. Every now and then we looked up, to see now of them had given up yet.
Once night had fallen, I felt a feeling come over me. Kagome turned to look at me, panic and relief on her face. I took her hand a squeezed it, she took my other hand and did the same.
"Ready?" I whispered softly.
"Yes," she replied.
I slowly began to chant the reverse spell, summoning the power of the place. A fog started to surround us. I felt power encircling us.
After a couple of minutes, I felt my own body back. The fog disappeared. I turned to look at Kagome.
"I'm back!" she exclaimed; then she turned to me. She promptly hugged me, and I hugged her back. "Thanks, Kikyou."
"No problem," I said softly.
Kagome stood up, then went to hug Inuyasha. "I'm back, Inuyasha!"
"You never left," he said sarcastically. Kagome glared at him, then lightly kissed him.
Sesshomaru went to stand next to me. "Want to go home?" he asked me playfully.
"Yeah," I answered, a light feeling overcoming me. "Home..."
Sesshomaru took me by the waist and kissed me again.

OH MY GAWD! It had been an eternity since I last updated! You guys must have thought I died!
Okay, so I completely hurried the end of the story...gomen ne! I didn't really mean to...I just wanted it out of my already guilty conscience. I actually deleted four or five of my stories, because I believed I couldn't finish them anymore! I've been such a dawdler! And besides, school has become evil...piling so much homework!
I hope you enjoyed the end!
