Author's Notes: Poor Kagome..

To Candy: Yes I have one, but its not working at the moment.. sorry! When its up and running I'll put you on.

To i barely ever review so ur lucky: Nooooo sequel. I don't think I'm ever going to write a sequel to any story.. that includes Soakin' Up The Sun! Only because I don't think it would go all too well, lol.

To Kandy: Who said this story was an unhappy ending? -wink- One of my next stories may be though.

To Ang3lic-Pl4ya: Yes, spoiler spoiler. It will most likely have a happy ending.

To LynneC114: There is still a little tiny bit that has to be covered.. do you remember the bet they made? And the concequences? Well there you go.. -sigh-

To Pepe-Le-Pu: Junipei...? Um.. sure.. O.o

To Ami Kuroneko: It was nice talking to you on AIM! And no, I've never gotten to 1000 before.. my Half-Demon Prep's And Punk Rock Miko's story is almost there though! 985! -waits for more people to review on that terrible story- >>

Kikyou pointed to the flames that now reached the top of the trees, where they could see. They then saw smoke. "Lightning didn't hit there.. and no one was in there but you and Kagome today.. oh. My. GOD! KAGOME!" Miroku screamed.


"KAGOME!" Inuyasha echoed. He got on his bike and sped back off into the woods. He wasn't even in there for two minutes when he saw a figure walking towards him. He got off the bike and ran over to the figure. "Kagome.." He said lightly.


She looked at him, bleeding, burnt, and had dirt all over her. "You.. win.. Inu.. yasha."


She collapsed.

Hell's Angel

Take Twenty

Amazing Kiss


Tell me what you're dreaming 'bout tonight, I never want to let you go.
The lips that kissed my lashes and your sleepy smile, sinking into the darkest night.
A breezeless flow in the afterglow, you and me together we could go that extra mile.

Sweet nothings and time, only you and the rhyme.
Dizzy vertigo round and round as we go.
Amazing Kiss! Shining stars and I'll miss, the flame that used to be ours, ours alone.
'Cause we made it happen: our miracle.
True and blue to our oracle, precious in my love.. yeah.
I remember...

-Amazing Kiss (English Version)
BoA

"I know Kagome's mother isn't going to be happy about this.." Miroku spoke quietly. They were now in the hospital, Kagome in the intensive care unit. Her burns weren't that bad, but her ankle was broken. She had brusies all over her body and it would be hard for her to walk for awhile.


She peeked her eyes open, "M-miroku.." She said, softly. He was about to scream that Kagome was awake to the rest of the gang, but she put her hand over his mouth. She whispered, "I need to talk to you." He nodded, worried.


"At home.. there is a blue and black wallet under my bedsheets. Please.. go get it." Miroku asked the normal question, "Why?"


"Just do it.. please.."


Of course, he went to go get it after telling the rest of the gang she was awake.

Everyone came running in to see Kagome. Sango hugged her lightly, "Oh Kagome!" She cried, along with Ayame, Kanna, and Kagura. Kouga just sniffed along with Kikyou not making it apparent they were crying. Kikyou felt bad for what she did, seemed like some preps had a heart after all. (AN: I learned that a couple days ago, thats why I'm making Kikyou "good" -- not all preps are bad.)


Naraku on the other hand was gone. Inuyasha stood in the corner, trying to hide his tears. He was so happy she was alive.. should he tell her? Everything? About his love for her?


He was debating in his mind when Miroku came back with the wallet and an extra change of clothes and her cell phone because he thought she would need it for later when she was better. He handed it to Kagome and she counted the money in there. Six-hundred and fourty seven dollars.. just enough. "Just enough.." She said, outloud.


Everyone was confused. Enough for what? Thats when Ayame's eyes went wide. "N-n-o! Kagome! You can't!"


They all looked over at Ayame. What was Kagome thinking? And how come Ayame was the only one who understood? "You can't leave! Who cares about the bet!"


...thats right.

Kagome spoke, "Done deal. You decline, you loose. You don't show up, you loose. And whoever wins.. gets the bad-ass reputation and gets the hell out of Japan."


Kouga, Miroku, and Ayame all backed up. "That's going a little far, Kagome!" Ayame spoke up.


Kagome's head snapped back, "NO! Its not! We're going to win this fucking thing, no matter what happens! Be up to the challenge you guys, we won't loose!"


---


She laughed quietly to herself, "It looks as if I lost.." Ayame started crying, "No Kagome, no!"


Kagura gave a sad smile, "A deal is a deal.. theres nothing we can do." Ayame clung to Sango, crying on her chest. Sango rubbed Ayame's back and was in shock when they saw Kagome get up.


"I'll be alright.. just.. let me bandage my leg.." Miroku walked over to Kagome, and kissed her cheek. "You've been like a sister to me.. do you have to leave us?" He ran his hand to her cheek and she nodded slowly, letting out a tear.


He understood. Kouga then came over and did the bandages for her. "I have nothing at home I need.." She stood up and limped over to the door in her new clothes; curtosy of Miroku.


"You guys.. you've done so much for me." She hugged everyone but Inuyasha, and walked over slowly to him. She placed her hand on his chin and pushed herself up on her tippy-toes.


She kissed him directly on the lips. Inuyasha was shocked at this action, as was everyone else. When she broke away she looked in his eyes and said, "I will never forget you, Inuyasha Taishio."


She turned around and looked at everyone, "I have someone over there that can look after me. I have cousins over there. The school's are nice too I hear.." She limped out of the door way, and shut the door.


Everyone destracted the nurses' so they wouldn't see Kagome. She got out safely into a taxi, and rode off to Tokyo International.


---


Everyone sat in silence. Kagome was gone. And there was nothing they could do about it. All Kagome had was her cellphone, and the money for the ticket to Paris, Europe. Sango couldn't take it anymore.


"Inuyasha!" She said, angrily. "You love her, don't you?" His eyes shot wide open, as did everyone else's. "We all know you do. And if she just kissed you like that.. she must love you too! You have to stop her!" Inuyasha just stood there in shock.


"But.. I can't stop her.. I..--" Sango interrupted, "Yes you can, and you will! Lets go!"


She grabbed his hand and ran out of the room, screaming to everyone else, "We're going to get there on time, and stop Kagome!"
