Chapter Sixteen

Inuyasha opened his eyes and stared at what he saw. The arrow had stopped in its place then fell to the mossy ground. He looked around to see what could have possibly stopped Kikyou's power. His eyes fell to the only person who would have the power to rival Kikyou's. Kagome.

Hello I'm still here

Kagome shakily stood to the ground. Her vacant eyes rested on Kikyou, who gasped. My reincarnate is not dead? How can this be??

"Kikyou you self-centered bitch!" Kagome roared. "You kill someone because they don't agree with you? You-you heartless bitch! I'll be taking back what's rightfully mine bitch!"

All that's left of yesterday

Inuyasha shielded his eyes as the glow from the two women brightened extensively. Kagome felt herself no longer cold and heartless, she felt herself become her again. Power surged through her and Kagome felt tired...so tired. Inuyasha cracked open an eye and saw Kagome falling from her spot a few miles in the air. He raced to catch and looked around for Kikyou. He saw her in a crumple mess on the wet grass. Hair strewn every way, bow and arrows scattered around her. Her eyes were closed. It was as if she knew this was going to happen. Inuyasha felt remorse in his heart, but it was quickly drowned out as he felt Kagome stir in his arms. He looked down at her and she gave a tired smile. Overjoyed Inuyasha hugged her and tried to keep his eyes from filling with tears of happiness. I almost lost you...never again.

"Inuyasha I'm sooo sorry!!" He let go of Kagome and stared at her. "I don't know what I was thinking! It's j-just that everything this past week were-were really bad and I thought that if I gave her the rest of my you'd be--..." Inuyasha silencing her with a kiss cut off Kagome. He felt Kagome's tears on his cheeks and he released her from his grasp. He looked at Kikyou who was gone. Had she vanished? Was she dead? Inuyasha didn't know, but he had a feeling that Kikyou was still around somewhere. Looking back at Kagome she smiled at him and the looked at her shoes.

"So does this mean that I got the old Kagome back? No more of this shit?" he motioned her outfit and was relieved when she said yes. Kagome smiled again happy that she could now be herself, suddenly reminding herself of Inuyasha's wounds she asked him about them as they walked down to the village. Surprised when Inuyasha entwined his fingers with hers, he looked up at the sky. She's mine!

"By the way Inuyasha how are you ribs? I haven't really seen you all that much, so how are they?"

"Bruised still and a little sore," Inuyasha scratched his head and looked at her.

"But you're half demon I expected that they..."

"Hey even I need time to heal okay?"

"Alright I'm sorry," Kagome looked at the ground

"Look Kagome I umm need to tell you something..." Inuyasha started before Kagome cut him off

"I love you too Inuyasha," Kagome reached up and pressed her lips to his own. The passionate kiss lasted for minutes, and when they finally did break apart the sky greeted the sun in the upcoming light that bathed the forest. Instead of continuing to the village, Kagome and Inuyasha sat down and watched the upcoming sun. Kagome leaned her head on Inuyasha's shoulder and he ginned into the distance.
