Here is the Sesshoumaru version- it is kind of shorter, but that is because it was harder to do, and I have no computer…..either way, enjoy.
Kagome had heard of 'spur of moment' and most of her life was assembled around doing things without thing. Things seemed to happen so quick for her, and most of the time she didn't have time to logically react.
Yet at that moment if she could have frozen the moment and sat there for days on end thinking about what she was going to do, it would have ended up the same. She would have came to the same conclusion after long and reasonably emotionally debates in her head. Still at that moment she reacted without having to think it over, and did something she thought was right and didn't have to do any debating.
The moment Naraku turned the gun on InuYasha, two shots rang out. One of Naraku's, and one of Kagome's own. A second later the moment had frozen and Naraku fell. The Shikon jewel that was around InuYasha's neck shattered, but he also fell.
Kagome stood still for a moment, the gun slipping from her hands and clattering to the floor. She had done the one thing she couldn't do for years, in less than 30 seconds. The one man that honestly terrorized and traumatized her life more than her father ever could had been shot dead.
Naraku had managed to flip around, his face visible to the world, blood had splashed up, but was being drained away by the rain. Kagome's hands shook, it was over.
A few scenes from her life flickered past her eyes, but she pushed them aside.
"Inuyasha!" She shouted, her eyes quickly tracing to where he lay.
Sesshoumaru was already at his side, reluctantly helping his brother up. Shards of the Shikon spilled everywhere, the rainwater making them glisten.
She was at their sides in seconds, unsure of what to do. Sesshoumaru flipped his half brother over, facing the sky.
InuYasha's eyelids were barely open, fluttering slightly, but a sign he was only slightly conscious. Kagome reached over clearing the shards out of the way searching his red top for any sign of a wound.
"He wasn't shot, the Shikon managed to protect him from that." Sesshoumaru said. "I, however, am not sure if the blast had hurt him."
Kagome inhaled, panicking, she glanced around. No one was there about to jump up and help.
"The car- we have to get him to the hospital!" She said biting off a quick mournful cry.
'I cannot lose someone else to this stupid mess!' Kagome thought hardly finding the words to express the frustration she felt.
With no complaint, or struggle, Sesshoumaru lifted him, and Kagome was quick to open the car door. Once InuYasha was placed she ran to the passenger seat and looked over at Naraku's lackies.
Her eyes grew darker, but no hate ran in them.
"You want the Shikon No Tama so much, take it." She said harshly. "There it is, on the ground, and you don't have to kill anyone to get it."
Kagome looked at each of them, scanning them for some movement, but they didn't budge. After a moment, they turned muttering to eachother and returned to their cars. Kagome said nothing for a moment, watched them go. Tears were beginning to fill her eyes, but she would not let them fall.
Her eyes turned to Naraku's body. 'I hope you get everything that is coming to you in death Naraku, and yet the jewel remains useless to you now.' Kagome wasn't sure if that was a closer, but it was enough of one for her. She at that moment bid farewell to everything that haunt her past. Naraku, her father, Kikyou. When the car was driving away, she drove away from those memories one last time.

The car pulled up to the emergency room in record time. Sesshoumaru might have learned something from Miami driving, but there was no time to chat about it when he got out the car to grab InuYasha. As it turns out the hospital had been called if the car you were driving in had showed up. It wasn't hard to realize the rest of the family had been more than worried about their safety. The emergency room escourted them in, and before Kagome could even say a word they slammed the door on her face.
She was shocked at first, but anger was nearby. Sesshoumaru lay a hand on her shoulder.
"We
can't go in there." He told her in a light but serious voice. Kagome's
expression faltered into a frown but she weakly nodded allowing herself to be
lead to a bench by Sesshoumaru.
"Do not worry Kagome, InuYasha is far to stubborn to die." Sesshoumaru said
whether trying to be reassuring or not Kagome was not sure; it did however
bring a smile to her face.
"Naraku does use bullets nearly the size of shot gun shells, InuYasha might have trouble bouncing back from that one." She bit off harsher than she intended, but she leaned into him slightly. "It's just nothing has been going right." She growled slightly, but there was no force behind it.
Sesshoumaru did the best reassuring thing he could for Kagome at that moment, he said nothing. Her mind raced over the recent events- the past events, all these things that had haunted her life for so long were now gone. The Shikon no Tama which was so desired in the past now lay in shards at the place of her old house.
In a way it seemed ironic no one took it, but she knew the real reason they didn't- it would be haunting.
She found herself leaning into him, and though it didn't seem at all the time, it brought a blush to her face. A good amount of time past like that, until a nurse rushed up to them. Sesshoumaru nudged her and they both rose.
"You may see him now…." She started to mutter at the end.
"Is he alright?" Kagome nearly jumped the lady straining for an answer.
The lady waved her hand. "Besides being a pain in the ass about how uncomfortable the bed is, he is fine. He has scared five nurses off so far."
Kagome could feel a real smile coming up on the lips, breaking into a small laugh. She wrapped her hands around Sesshoumaru's arm, and looked up to meet his eyes.
"Let's go."
---3 days later----
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha's voice rang down the hall.
Kagome flinched in Sesshoumaru's arm pulling away from the kiss, a blush covering her entire face. She shook it off, trying not to meet her new boyfriend in the eyes.
'Why does he have to be such a good kisser! Awkward.'
"I know I forgave you for Kikyou, but get over here- this stupid tv doesn't work." He voice echoed causing some of the other patients to jump.
Sesshoumaru leaned down slightly muttering to her about it wasn't a wonder about how he scared all those nurses away.
"I owe it to him, but go get the car if you would, I'll fix the stupid tv of his and bid him farewell." She spoke while walking to InuYasha's room.
When she arrived he lay there in the bed, the remote had been thrown to the floor. His hair was still white, and he had the hospital gown on.
'To think…..' Kagome muttered becoming lost in her thoughts hesitating in the door way.
His eyes trailed over to her, and for once she didn't see the resemblance to when he looked at Kikyou.
"What are you waiting for!" He barked at her, and with a sweatdrop at his unsentimental behavior she walked in.
"Yes your lordship?" She asked sarcastically, but not harshly.
"Get the nurse to give me another tv, this one won't even turn on!" He pointed to the small tv set up in the corner. With an arch of her eyebrow she walked over, and hit power. The tv turned on just as it should, and she grabbed the remote.
"The batteries were just dead InuYasha! I'll get you new ones." She held up the remote as if it were some type of proof.
It took a second, but she returned a moment later, new batteries in place. Walking forward she handed him the remote, but he grasped her hand.
Unable to pull away she met his eyes, and he stared back completely serious.
"Kagome, don't worry about it- there was nothing more we could have done." He paused for a moment, and just shook his head slightly.
"Just don't let it ever happen again, Kikyou would have held it against me if I didn't forgive you." His grip loosen, and she pulled away for a moment. Leaning down she hugged him, muttering what he said was true.
Breaking the moment InuYasha yelled "I didn't give you permission to hug me! It's the stupid conscious!"
Kagome pulled back with a sarcastic pout, took the remote, put it on the desk across from the bed, and walked out of the room with a laugh. His voice followed after her, but she knew that was the best revenge.
-
Sesshoumaru was outside waiting, the car next to them. Kagome practically leaped in his arms but settled for a nice hug. "You can't miss me already can you?" He questioned, but Kagome pulled back with keys dangling in hand.
At that moment Kagome said the words that couldn't have scared him more.
"I'm driving."
