Later on when Kagome got a hold of herself from crying, she and Sesshoumaru went to Jaken, Rin, and their dragon. Kagome was feeling better since her invitation to stay with Sesshoumaru. She sniffled and walked on.
"Kagome!" Rin screamed as she ran up to hug her. Kagome smiled, and waved and, of course, hugged Rin. "What are you doing here?" Rin asked. Kagome sighed. "I'll be staying with you and Sesshoumaru for awhile." Rin smiled the biggest smile she could. "You're staying with Rin!" Rin said happily, clapping her hands. "WHAT!" Jaken yelled. "Another human!" Kagome shot a look at Jaken. He gulped.
"Thanks again for letting me stay with you. You have NO idea what a life saver you are!" Kagome smiled at him. Sesshoumaru ignored the answer and said, "Lets head back home Rin." Sesshoumaru hopped on the dragon, along with Rin, then Jaken. All of a sudden Kagome felt like they were going to leave without her. "Why are you standing there? Get on." Sesshoumaru said impatiently.
Kagome smiled and nodded. She got on and sat in front of Sesshoumaru. As the dragon lifted into the air, Kagome shivered. She had always hated heights. She never felt comfortable, not even on Kilala. Sesshoumaru sensed her fear and put his arms around her. Kagome blushed and looked behind her. What's he doing? Sesshoumaru realized what he was doing and thought to himself, What am I doing? He was going to remove his hands, but noticed he couldn't. He really didn't want to.
The sky soon became dark. The sky was filled with stars and the moon with a black background. Kagome sighed as she thought of the other night when she and Inuyasha talked and spent time alone together like the night like this. She felt tears coming to her, but blinked them back. Sesshoumaru is kind enough to invite me into his home, so I shouldn't grieve like this. I should put on a smile and show him I'm not worried about what happened.
Kagome yawned, her head bobbing. Slowly she subconsciously leaned against Sesshoumaru and fell asleep. He looked surprised but inwardly showed it. Rin was asleep long before Kagome, and Jaken after Rin. Sesshoumaru was the only one awake. Almost
there, Sesshoumaru thought to himself.
Inuyasha looked up at the stars and sighed. Sango set up the fire and sat down. Inuyasha looked frustrated. "Are you alright Inuyasha?" Sango asked sympathetically. Inuyasha shrugged. "Feh." He replied.
Inuyasha sniffed and twitched his ears. "What is it?" Miroku asked. "Kikyo." Inuyasha stated simply as he got up and jumped off. Miroku shook his head. "Which one is he going to choose? Kikyo or Kagome?" Miroku asked aloud. "No. The question is, will Kagome even take Inuyasha back?" Sango asked. Miroku nodded.
Where is she? Inuyasha kept running until he was at the old god tree. He stopped and stared out at the undead woman. "Kikyo…" Kikyo's expression remained emotionless. "Inuyasha…" A soul stealer flew smoothly through the air, and put a soul into Kikyo's chest, then wandered off.
Kagome stirred and woke up. She immediately realized that she was leaning against the taiyoukai. She blushed and tried to sit up, but felt Sesshoumaru's arms tighten around her. She slowly looked behind her only to see that he was sleeping as well. She leaned back into him and smiled. Once he wakes up, he'll probably flip out. She giggled inwardly and went back to sleep.
"Inuyasha, why are you here?" Kikyo asked the hanyou. Inuyasha looked at her, "Kikyo, I- I… I came to see if you are alright." Kikyo's expression never changed. "I am fine." She stated simply. Inuyasha came closer to her. Kikyo stepped back once.
She gave him a sympathetic look. "Why do you keep coming to me and Kagome?" Inuyasha stared in disbelief. "Why does she always come back to you, even after what happens between you and me?" Inuyasha looked at the ground. "Kikyo, I… I love you! I… Kagome… Kagome just isn't you."
Kikyo shook her head. "I don't love you… anymore. After I died I wanted peace. I didn't want to be raised back, but I was. When I saw you I felt hatred. I won't ever rest in peace until you die Inuyasha." Inuyasha looked at her with hurtful eyes. She gave one last look at him and slowly turned around to walk away and disappeared into the night.
Inuyasha walked back to camp. His eyes were filled with sorrow. Sango and Miroku looked at him. Sango was about to say something, but Miroku shook his head. Sango sighed and looked at Inuyasha with compassion. Why? What is it with me and hurting woman I love? Kagome, now Kikyo. I have no one. I'm alone now…
Good morning. The night is over and gone. I thought once, this dark would last for so long. Feel the sunlight on my face. You have brought me, Through this place…
Kagome gently opened her eyes. She woke up in an unfamiliar room, and looked around. The soft bed and milky looking sheets were beautiful. Everything in the room was beautiful. The whole room was a creamy, milky color. The sun was shining through the curtains. "Wow… Where am I?" Kagome asked herself aloud.
She got up and walked towards the light. She opened the curtains, and the sunlight was shining on her. Kagome smiled. It's so beautiful. Thank you Sesshoumaru…
You found me… Through the long night you led me… You set me free.
Do you see just what you've done in my life? You gave me more then I hoped… for now I…
She looked around the room. She opened the chests and dressers, the bureau and furniture. She stopped and remembered last night. He led me through the long night last night. He was kind enough to let me stay here. I'm free of Inuyasha, and the jewel shards. Inuyasha… do you even see what you've done in my life?
Kagome's eyes started tearing up. Sesshoumaru didn't have to let me stay here. I'm just going to be a nuisance. But he gave me more then I hoped for. Maybe it's just because I've been so hospitable to him when he was hurt.
Feel your sunlight on my face… You have brought me through this place.
You found me. Through the long night, you led me… You set me free…
Feel… Your sunlight…On my face, you… have brought me through this place…
You found me…through the long night you led me…You set me free…
Good morning…The night is over and gone…
Kagome walked out of the room and walked down the large flight of stairs. I'm going to find Sesshoumaru and properly thank him again…
Hi. I think this one was just a little weird, lol. Sorry. I wanted to get it done, but I hope you all still like it. I hope anyway…
