Inuyasha stared at the two bodies. "It's all my fault!" he cried as he pound his fists into the earth. He looked at Kikyo, his eyesight focusing on the blood that was slowly seeping out of her neck. He was startled as she began to talk. It was weak and quiet, but because of his hearing he was able to hear it.

"I-Inuyasha I-I'm s-sorry." It was the last thing that Kikyo spoke.

"I'm sorry too." He whispered. Inuyasha took one last look at her body and at the blood that now covered his hands and then he got up and moved over to Kagome. "Kagome…" he whispered as he held her life less body. He looked down and finally seemed to notice the arrow as it poked him the chest, he reached down and wrenched it from the nearly clean wound in Kagome's chest.

He looked at Kikyo. Kikyo was soulless…I loved her but she was soulless. He looked down as Kagome hung limply in his arms. Kagome, Kagome was alive. I lo---. He stared unseeingly at the bushes. He couldn't even admit it now that she was dead. He let her drop slowly to the earth and stood.

"Inuyasha." Said Miroku from where he stood. "Are you okay?" If he expected an answer he didn't get it.

Inuyasha looked at Kikyo then bent down and lifted Kagome into his arms. "You deserve a burial." He whispered. He walked until he reached the well. He didn't even look back but he knew that the others were following him quietly. When he reached the well he put her body onto the grass and began to dig a hole.

After a few minutes of digging, he heard something which stopped him in his tracks. "Inuyasha." The voice was familiar.

Inuyasha looked around, he swore that he heard Kagome speak but that was impossible. "Damnit, I'm hearing dead girl's voices." He muttered to himself as began to dig again.

"There you are. We have been looking all over for you." Miroku said. "I found him!" he yelled.

"Finally!" said Sango as she walked over with Shippo on her shoulder.

"What you doing?" Shippo asked as he hopped onto the ground.

"Digging a grave." He muttered.

"Digging a grave?" asked Sango.

Inuyasha sat up, "Yes." Was his short reply.

"A grave for who?" asked Miroku. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. They were there, they know who for!

"Well…who for?" asked Sango.

Inuyasha got up, "For Ka----."

"Hello guys!" said Kagome as she hopped out the well.

"Hello, Kagome! You weren't gone long." Replied Sango. Shippo ran up and gave her a hug.

"Welcome back." Said Miroku.

"Hello Inuyasha. Weren't going to say hi? Look I'm sorry for running off I was just upset." Inuyasha stared. "What? Do I have a second head?" she laughed.

"B-but your…your d-d-d-dead!" stammered Inuyasha.

Kagome looked at him like he was crazy, "Dead?" The others stared at him also. "What have you been feeding him, guys?" she asked, trying to be serious but not succeeding.

Inuyasha couldn't believe it. She's alive. Or she looks, sounds, and smells alive! He stood for a moment and then bounded over to her and grabbed her into his arms.

At first she was surprised and tense, but soon she gave in and melted into his arms. He didn't care that the others were staring at him like he had gone mad. He didn't even care if Kagome thought him mad. He lifted her face and looked into her eyes, "I lo…I'm so glad you're here." Why couldn't he say it? What was stopping him? She smiled and he bent his head to her lips. But, before their lips touched Shippo's voice interrupted.

"Oooooooooooo." He said, "Inuyasha and Kagome sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Miroku and Sango laughed and Kagome smiled.

Inuyasha, however, chased Shippo around the clearing until he had caught his tail.

"Welcome back Kagome!" laughed Sango.

"It's good to be back." She replied happily. She smiled as she watched Inuyasha chase Shippo, "It's good to be back." She repeated in a whisper.
