Inuyasha and Kagome just clung to each other. They looked so absolutely different, yet so perfect. Actually it didn't look perfect at all. It just felt that way. Inuyasha, and his utterly torn and shredded body, and Kagome, with her raven hair, and beautiful smiles, and best of all, the sparkle in her eyes that told him she was very happy to be alive.
Suddenly Kagome pulled away, embarrassed. Inuyasha realized two things at once. First, that he was in so much pain. It hurt to move, it hurt to breath, God, it hurt to be alive. But he welcomed this pain. It told him he was alive, and that he was not dying. It told him he was healing..
Second he noticed that he had hugged her! He was not ready to admit love yet! Geez!
"Geez, woman!" He shouted, humiliated. "Whats the matter with you?!"
Kagome sighed. He was alive, that was for sure. Honestly.
"Why the hell did you hug me?!"
"Did it occur to you that you were so covered in injuries you would have died without Kaedes help?" She yelled back, furious. Inuyasha was confused. What does that have to do with anything?
Kaede sighed. At least she knew things were completely back to normal. Inuyasha and Kagome were squabbling again, bickering childishly. But no. she realized suddenly. Nothing will ever be normal without Miroku, ever. Poor Sango was so devastated by his death. I think she really loved him. Just as much as Inuyasha and Kagome love each other. Though, she thought with and inward, sad smile, neither of them are very obvious about it.
"Even with Kaedes care, you almost died! You really don't care, do you?" Kagome broke out in sobs.
"Why are you crying? It cant make you that sad." He said rather pointedly. Then almost cowering at Kagomes rage.
"I'm not Crying because I'm sad! I'm crying because you are an insufferable idiot!"
"Am not!"
"Are too"
"Am not!!"
"SITSITSITSITSITSIT!!!!!!!!"
Poor Inuyasha didn't have a chance. He hit the ground, and Kagome felt bad for lashing out at the proud hanyou. He had been beaten up by some quarter- strength low-life, almost died, been humiliated in the morning.... She would have to apologize later. Well it was nice to know things were almost back to normal.
