When It All Comes Down To It
Heh . . . you'll find out how Kagome got back in this chapter :) Not really, but I will tell you how at the end. (its also the last chapter ANDITSSHORT!)
"Kagome-chan! How did you get here!" Sango was, of course, the first to speak and ask questions. Kagome was like the best friend she never had. Well, now she had her, but before . . . oh Kami I'm getting confused just trying to explain it and un-confuse everybody else.
"I came through the well-"
"Yeah, duh, of course you did! But we all know that last time you went back without a shard you couldn't get here, that's what we want to know!" Inuyasha finally shouted at her. He realized this was a bad spot to be in. And Kikyou was with him . . . which made it ten times worse than their ordinary arguing situation.
"Well, I guess I have a few theories, I mean, I don't hate you," she told him. "Now sure what good it does, and the jewel was never moved from this spot- well, okay, a few feet, you happy? I can go back if you don't want me here!"
"Kagome-sama!" This addressing was coming from Miroku, for once. "I say we all travel together. Settle our differences-" he shot a quick look at Kagome and Kikyou, "and move on, to defeat Naraku. If we all work together, we can destroy him all that much easier!" Kikyou shot a quick look at Kagome, as Kagome did to Kikyou. Everyone felt fine about it . . . but them.
Why do I have to take this? Kagome thought to herself.
"I-I'm fine with it, Miroku-sama . . ." Kagome replied.
You can take this, girl. Maybe . . . maybe things will turn out okay. Maybe you'll meet someone you can love . . . you can put up the fact that Kikyou's now with you - and more importantly - with Inuyasha.
"It's settled, then?" Then youkai slayer spoke up . . . a bit too soon. Kikyou cleared her throat (don't we all? xD) to get their attention. "Of course," Sango murmured to herself, recalling that Kikyou had not said anything yet.
"If it's . . . if it's fine with both Kikyou and Kagome, I'm fine with it." Inuyasha responded.
"It's fine with me, then," Kikyou muttered. Maybe working with my reincarnation won't hurt. I have never really been around her enough to actually meet and talk to her. Maybe this will turn out okay. I could be wrong, it wouldn't hurt . . . would it?
"Well, this is awkward . . ." Kagome said to herself. She said it out loud, but she didn't exactly say it like it was an announcement. It seemed like then they were all finished: but then she remembered one thing that she had forgotten to do. "Oh, you know what, I seem to have forgotten something . . ." she went up to Inuyasha (OMG NO she's NOT going to kiss him! That would be like total insult to Kikyou! This IS an InuKik fic even if I didn't say it, I kind of hinted it enough, right?) and pulled off his necklace. The one that would allow her to restrain him. "There you go, but I will be keeping this."
At this moment she didn't have anywhere to put it, but she held it.
She didn't really want to work with Kikyou there. She wanted Inuyasha.
But she wanted his happiness, too. He'd done so much for her . . . and now she needed to repay him.
THE END! Wow . . . short. I MIGHT merge all 3 together and make one big story, but I might not. Anyway . . . Kagome was able to come through the well because of two things:
1/ Yes, the jewel only did move a few feet at the most. Sango and Miroku remained at the well until Inuyasha got back.
2/ I think I've hinted it enough . . . well, her mom told her not to hate Inuyasha, so she doesn't, and now it's allowed her to get through the well because she's sort of 'purified' herself.
