A/N: Alright I made it to Florida in one piece! Yay! I'm now sitting here at the desk in the hotel room, 'I Can't Wait to Be King' blasting from the laptop speakers (for the 77th time), typing this wonderful story by yours truly! ;) Alright well I'll get on with the story (that's a first) since I've got nothing better to do and I owe you guys. ::mumbles something about too much to do::

Chapter 5

Back Again

"Sesshomaru!" InuYasha cried, rushing through the forest. Suddenly, he spotted his brother and came skidding to a halt.

"InuYasha. You have come. Do you have something to show me?"

"Yes," InuYasha said quickly as he pulled out the 'cd player.'

"InuYasha, this object does not show me anything. You have failed." Sesshomaru turned to leave.

"No! Wait!" InuYasha cried, rushing forward and stepping in front of his brother, "This is from Kagome's time! It plays music! One of the songs on this thing is what I want to show you! Please Sesshomaru!"

Sesshomaru paused. He glanced down at the object and the yellow loop. He took the loop into his hands and placed them on his head and nodded, signaling to his brother to begin the music.

InuYasha quickly punched the buttons and waited until the number twelve disappeared before looking up at his brother.

Sesshomaru's expression had not changed at all. While the song was playing, the sun had disappeared behind the mountains. If this failed, Kagome was never coming back.

"InuYasha..." Sesshomaru said after a moment, taking the yellow loop of his head, "...Bring me the body. I'll bring her back."

If InuYasha hadn't rushed over to Kagome's body, he would've kissed his brother right then and there.

InuYasha quickly tore away the white cloth to reveal Kagome's body. Kaede had dressed her in clothes similar to Sango's. Her hair framed her face and she looked like a glass doll. InuYasha was afraid that if he touched her, she would break.

Sesshomaru removed Tenseiga from it's sheath and held it over Kagome's body.

"I can see them," Sesshomaru murmured. "The messengers from the world beyond." Sesshomaru suddenly reached out and slashed at what looked like the air right above Kagome's body. But to Sesshomaru's eyes, he saw his sword run through the flesh of the messengers.

InuYasha waited a moment for some kind of movement from Kagome. He didn't see anything. But he heard something.

"Inu...Yasha..." the words were faint but they came from Kagome's own lips. Her eyes flickered and a second later, they popped open.

Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru and InuYasha standing over her. Sesshomaru was holding out his sword, it's tip just above her chin and Kagome screwed her eyes shut and began to shiver slightly in fear.

Suddenly, she felt strong, warm arms close around her. She allowed the arms to pull her to the person's chest, pressing her hard against it. Kagome curled into the person's arms, still shaking.

"InuYasha..." she whispered, smiling softly as she felt him bury his nose into her hair.

Thank Kami... InuYasha thought, nuzzling Kagome's neck. She's alive. She's really alive.

InuYasha pulled his head from Kagome's hair and shouted out to his brother who was walking away, "THANK YOU!!!" Sesshomaru merely nodded his head, his back still to him.

Kagome pulled herself from InuYasha's grasp.

"InuYasha?" Kagome murmured, realizing with surprise that tears were flowing down his cheeks. "Why are you crying?" She reached up and cupped his face in her hand. InuYasha leaned into her touch. She was alive. That was all that was running through his head.

"InuYasha? What happened? Why are you crying?" Kagome was so confused. The last thing she remembered was being attacked by the hebikaibutsu.

InuYasha pulled Kagome back into his arms. She loved the feeling of being there but with InuYasha shaking, it felt odd.

"You died," he said after a moment. His voice was cracked but Kagome ignored that. She had died?

"You were killed during the confusion with the hebikaibutsu," he said, pulling her even closer. "You died in my arms."

Kagome pulled back and stared into InuYasha's golden eyes.

"I... died? In... in your arms?"

InuYasha merely nodded. Kagome allowed him to hug her tightly once again. She knew his feeling for her but she didn't know they were this strong. And if she had died, she knew he probably had died along with her.

"Kagome..." InuYasha whispered, placing small kisses on her neck. Kagome gasped softly at the sensation of his lips on her skin.

"Yes InuYasha?" Kagome murmured, closing her eyes and relishing in the feelings he was causing her.

"I love you." Kagome gasped in surprise. And by the way he was kissing her, he meant it.

"Oh kami InuYasha. I love you too," Kagome replied, turning her head to face him, allowing their mouths to collide.

InuYasha and Kagome's first kiss was not to be their last.
