Chapter Twelve – Wish Upon a Star

"I can't believe it!" cried Sango, "We have been trying all day to get through, and we haven't made any progress whatsoever!"

Kagome sighed and looked up at the sky. Her and Sango had managed to get on the roof of her house, and were gazing up at the stars in the sky.

"Well, we have only tried for one day right, so maybe we could try again?" asked Kagome

"I don't know Kagome, we may only have tried this for one day, but we've tried it many times. How did we come through the well at the beginning anyways?" asked Sango

"Actually, I wished for you guys to come. But I never thought that a wish like that would be able to actually come true…" answered Kagome quietly.

"Well, what did you wish?" asked Sango

"That you guys would be here with me, to help me through all of the pain that I had been through. The fight that I had with Inuyasha still scars me." Said Kagome

"Maybe if we wish again?" asked Sango, "Maybe that way we will be able to get back." She said smiling.

"I don't know…" said Kagome quietly looking up at the sky. "I wished after I threw in the Shikon No Tama into the Bone Eater's Well. I don't have the Shikon No Tama anymore…"

"You don't have a shard even?" asked Sango

"Well…" Kagome began.

Kagome put her hands over her heart and tears began to fall from her face, and as she pulled away her hands, a shard of the Shikon Jewel came out off her and floated above her hands. It glowed in her hands as it floated about an inch above her hands. Her tears sparkled in the light from the shard, and Sango's eyes opened wide at the sight.

"You couldn't give it all up… Could you?" asked Sango, "You loved him… And you love him still more than ever before, don't you?"

"Of course I do…" Kagome said looking at the shard, "I never doubted my love for him, and the way I feel is indescribable, I can't even begin to explain… Even though people say I am too young to experience love, I sit here and cry because I know I love him, and I am too far away from him to be able to live properly. I need him around me, and if I don't I think that I am going to explode!"

Tears were now once again exploding from her little eyes, as she cried and cried. As she looked up at the sky, she saw a shooting star flow by. Kagome hugged the shard, and it once again flew back into her heart.

"I Wish Upon You, Oh Shooting Star, Please, Please, Help My Friends Get Back to their World and let them be able to come back and visit me!" she said her eyes closed, and suddenly Sango's body began to glow.

"What's going on?" asked Sango worriedly

"I wished upon a shooting star" said Kagome smiling, "I hope that it works."

"What works?" asked Sango, "Kagome, are you okay? You are beginning to frighten me a little bit."

"Sango…" said Kagome looking into Sango's eyes, "Let's try this again, I know that this time it will work."

"How?" asked Sango

"I have a feeling…"

"This fucking sucks." Said Inuyasha, his back leaning on the Bone Eater's Well. "I haven't found any Shikon Shards yet, this is fucking bullshit."

"Maybe, you're just not looking in the right places." Said a deep voice from the trees followed by a girly giggle.

"Kouga get out here." Said Inuyasha rolling his eyes.

"Fine" said Kouga stepping out from behind the trees followed by a girl with brown hair in pigtails, who also appeared to be a wolf demon.

"You remember Ayame, right Inuyasha?" asked Kouga

"The one who was jealous of Kagome that one time, and the both of you got eaten by that demon? Yeah I remember her" he said

"Yay!" said Ayame happily, "You remember me! Hello Inuyasha!"

"Hi…' said Inuyasha emotionlessly, "What are you doing here Kouga?"

"We thought that we would give you some company, considering that you know, it's late, and you're sitting here at this well, all by yourself, waiting for Kagome to come back." Said Kouga smiling and looking at Inuyasha

"I am not waiting for that bitch Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha

"Inuyasha, You've been coming to this well ever night for the last little while, and you and I both know that this is the only way that Kagome can get back into this world."

"Kouga, is Kagome the one that you said you were engaged to?" asked Ayame innocently.

"Yep, but she is Inuyasha's woman now." Said Kouga smiling

"NO SHE IS NOT!" yelled Inuyasha standing up, "YOU WERE WROGN KOUGA, EVERYONE WAS WRONG, SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME AND SHE WAS DATING SOMEONE ELSE WHEN I WAS THERE!"

"Inuyasha…" began Kouga, "You and I both know that Kagome loves you, and I don't have a reason for what she did"

"Maybe… She was trying to forget you?" asked Ayame

"Why?" asked Inuyasha, "Why would she try and forget me if she loved me?"

"Because she thought that you were never coming back. She didn't know that you would give in and go back to see her, because she probably thought that you were too stubborn to do so, and getting a new boyfriend is one of the steps of trying to forget about liking a guy. But even though a girl might go out with another guy, doesn't mean that she doesn't love the guy that she tried so hard to forget." Said Ayame, "I know this from experience."

"Isn't my babe wise?" asked Kouga smiling

"No. Kagome wouldn't do something so stupid. It's not a step, she just doesn't like Me." answered Inuyasha

"Oh come on Inuyasha, if Kagome didn't love you she would've gone to me instead of waiting for you…" said Kouga

Ayame suddenly turned her head to Kouga and gave him a very nasty look.

"Of course… I like it way better this way, I love my baby" he said quickly looking at Ayame who smiled and hugged him.

"Inuyasha walked closer to Ayame and Kouga leaving the Bone Eater's Well a few steps behind him.

"You're wrong" said Inuyasha

"If I'm wrong, then answer me this…" began Ayame, "If Kagome didn't love you, what is she doing right behind you right now?" she asked

Inuyasha turned around quickly to see Sango standing beside Kagome who was standing right behind him, her face in tears, and her hair flowing away from her face because of the wind.

"Kagome?" asked Inuyasha

"Inuyasha…" answered Kagome tears falling down her face, "I'm here…"
