A body crashed onto Kagome and Zoey. Both hit the ground hard, as the body groaned. Kagome gasped. She quickly moved from under the body. She had the worst feeling her in stomach, telling her the person was still alive, and someone dear to her. Her hunch was too right. The body who was in pain, was Inuyasha...
Kagome fell to her knees, and helped Zoey up. Inuyasha sat up. "For a small runt, he's powerful..." Inuyasha said, before coughing up blood.
Then, as Inuyasha stood up weakly, Kagura, Kohaku, and Hakudoshi surrounded them. "So, Sister died?" Hakudoshi was hovering there, arms folded. "Pity. She was an innocent one..." Hakudoshi held out one hand, and faced it towards Zoey. Zoey turned dead pale (not that she already wasn't), as Hakudoshi clenched his hand. Zoey gasped for air.
"I'll take her, thanks." Hakudoshi smirked, as Zoey was lifted off the ground my an invisible force. Kagome took out an arrow, and aimed for Hakudoshi. Inuyasha already was on it, though. Inuyasha leaped at Hakudoshi and Zoey, with Tetsusaiga already glowing.
Hakudoshi sent a red energy knife right through Inuyasha's chest, knocking him down.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried, shooting her arrow. Please hit... Kagome thought.
"Kohaku, Kagura! Tachisaru!" Hakudoshi spun, and vanished with Zoey before the arrow struck him. Kagura and Kohaku began to fade.
Since Hakudoshi was gone, Kagura shouted to Kagome, "We're back in our world." Before she and Kohaku vanished.
Kagome stood there, confused. If Kagura was helping Hakudoshi, then why did she just blurt out where they were headed? Kagome heard Inuyasha mutter something before he growled... Or was it groaning? Something in between the two. Kagome dropped the questions for later.
She kneeled beside Inuyasha. "Where does it hurt worst?" She asked.
"Dunno. Can't feel much…" His words were slurred.
"That's not good..." Kagome kissed his forehead, "I'll help you in a second."
Kagome looked around, and saw the book. She picked that up, and took out the jewel shard and the paper with the spell on it. If they were back in the Sengoku Jidai, the least Kagome could do before they left was return downtown Tokyo back to normal.
Kagome read the spell, and did as it said. She set the book down, put the paper in her pocket, and held the jewel shard near her heart. "Power of Midoriko, and Buddha himself, restore all that was lost; and purify such a tainted Shikon no Tama shard!" Kagome said.
Power swirled around her, and the shard began to glow white. The energy made Kagome's hair fall loose from the scrunchie, and her hair twirled dangerously around her. Kagome felt her own energy grow, and then automatically drained into the shard. "Shakuhou!"
Kagome's body, along with the shard, released an infinite amount of energy, that hit everything in Tokyo. Kagome fell to the ground, as newscasters arrived on the scene. Kagome held the shard firmly as she came to. The world spun, until her eyes landed on Inuyasha. Inuyasha! Kagome thought, panicking. She crawled to Inuyasha, as newscasters starting airing all over Japan.
"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, touching Inuyasha's neck for a pulse.
"I'm still alive…" Inuyasha said softly. Kagome smiled and hugged him slightly. A female newscaster came up to Kagome and Inuyasha and kneeled to their level. Kagome needed a way to get Inuyasha back to her house. But she just put Inuyasha's head on her lap, so she could rest for a moment with him.
"Um… Excuse me?" She asked.
Kagome looked up, looking at the woman, as she stroked Inuyasha forehead softly. "Yes?"
"Koishi Megumi. Do you know what happened here?" The woman asked.
Kagome blinked, "Yes… Cannot say, though. All of Japan will be in panic. But do you have a cell phone?" Kagome asked.
Megumi's cameraman tossed Kagome a phone. Kagome smiled. Just what she needed to brighten up her day. And the sun wasn't even up yet! All her sleepiness was gone, and she was wide awake. Kagome looked down at Inuyasha. "We'll be home soon, Inuyasha." She whispered. She saw his ears twitch, meaning he heard her.
Kagome took the cell phone and dialed her number. Kagome's hopes of saving Inuyasha was on the line. It seemed like an eternity, when. "Hello?" It was Suki!
"Suki! Give the phone to my mom!" Kagome pleaded. Suki did so.
"Yes?" Mama asked.
"Mama! Come to downtown Tokyo. Inuyasha's in dire need of bandages, and I saved Tokyo. But hurry, please?" Kagome begged.
"Okay. Is Zoey with you?" Mama asked.
"…" Kagome couldn't find the words to tell Mama. Then Inuyasha groaned in pain. "Just hurry! And bring old blankets!" Kagome said before hanging up.
It was a good thirty minutes before Hano and Mama came to see Inuyasha. "Kami! What happened!" Mama and Hano exclaimed, as they ran out of the van, holding blankets.
"Our enemies… He was reckless…" Kagome had tears streaming down her eyes. Hano and Mama helped Kagome hold Inuyasha up, as they covered Inuyasha up with the blankets. Then Kagome sat in the backseat of the van, as Hano and Mama laid Inuyasha on her lap.
On the way home, Inuyasha regained consciousness, "Wh-Where are we?" He managed to say. "A-And where's H-hakudoshi?"
"Don't worry. They're back in your era. I returned everyone to normal, and we're headed home." Kagome smiled.
Inuyasha nodded slightly, and opened his eyes and looked up at Kagome. "Nice to see straight again. First thing I see, too, is you." Inuyasha said softly.
Kagome blushed. Then she remembered when Inuyasha told her he loved her.
Kagome asked Inuyasha if he'd walk with her, and after a short argument, agreed to come along with Kagome. She led him to Goshinboku.
She started the conversation, "Inuyasha, when you see Goshinboku, what do you think of? Honestly." Kagome glanced over to Inuyasha.
"Honestly? Damn... Um." Inuyasha folded his arms, "Kikyou, and how she pierced my chest, then how you freed me, how dumb I was to almost kill you, how lucky I am to have fallen in love with..." Inuyasha bit his lip.
Kagome turned a little red. "Yes?" Kagome wanted to hear the rest of his sentence.
"...Y-You." He finished. Kagome squealed and jumped like a little kid. Then she hugged him.
