Chapter 11: True Love

Goshinki, using every ounce of energy he had, lifted the gun towards Kagome and fired. Kagome instantly fell to the floor.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled, feeling his heart breaking. He crawled over to Kagome, to find that a pool of blood was forming. He rolled her over and found that she had been shot in the stomach. He got up and limped over to a phone and called an ambulance. He crawled back over to Kagome as he heard the sirens coming closer and closer.

"Kagome…" was all he said before he blacked out by her side. The next time he woke up he was in a hospital. There was a police officer waiting in his room. He saw that he was awake and walked over to his bedside.

"Inuyasha Taisho, can you tell me what happened with Goshinki, Kagome Higurashi, and you?" the police officer asked calmly.

"Where is Kagome?" Inuyasha asked, not answering his question.

"She's in the ICU. She lost a lot of blood from her gunshot wounds," the officer said.

"Will she be okay?" he asked.

"She's a little unstable, but they think she'll live. You have nothing to worry about Mr. Taisho," the officer said as if it was no big deal. " So can you tell me what happened?"

After explaining the officer left and Inuyasha fell asleep, too exhausted to stay awake. Two days later he was released from the hospital with stitches and a cast on his leg. All he did was see Kagome. Koga visited everyday too. They kept Kagome in an induced coma to help her heal faster. Around a week later they woke her up.

"Where am I?" Kagome asked groggily. Inuyasha looked up, startled by the sudden noise.

"You're in the hospital. Goshinki shot you in the shoulder and stomach, and he shot me in the shoulder and leg."

"Inuyasha, I'm sorry," Kagome said while looking away. " Because of me you got hurt. I can't forgive myself for that," she said while tears began to form in her eyes.

"Kagome. It wasn't your fault. You couldn't keep this from happening," Inuyasha said while turning her face so that she would look at him.

"But it is. I'm the one that dragged you into this. I'm the reason that Goshinki and Naraku came. It's al-" was all she was able to say before Inuyasha cut her off with a kiss. Later after Kagome was released from the hospital they took Naraku to court. They won, with Naraku being sentenced for life, and Goshinki getting 40 years.

"Well I guess we can rest easy for now," Inuyasha said, propping his leg up on the coffee table.

"Yeah, for now," she said while trying to prop her arm on the arm rest.

"Hey, you know that job interview you had?" Inuyasha asked without warning.

"Yeah? What about it?"

"Did you ever get an answer?"

"I totally forgot about it!" She got up and walked over to the phone. It said that she had one missed call. She called back the number. After talking for about 10 minutes she came back over and sat down with Inuyasha.

"So?" he asked eagerly.

"I got the job," she said.

"By the way, what was the job anyway?"

"I wanted to be a doctor. I can't believe I got the job," she said to herself as though she thought it was just a joke. (I know I never said anything about this, but Kagome already went and graduated college.)

"Well that's great! Maybe I should get a job…" Inuyasha said while looking up at the ceiling.

"I think that's a good idea. This way I'm not the one whose paying the bills," Kagome said jokingly. Inuyasha looked down and began blushing.

"Hey Kagome? Do you think that we could go out sometime?" Inuyasha asked, turning a deep shade of red.

"I would love to Inuyasha," Kagome said without the slightest hesitation. She closed her eyes and leaned in. Inuyasha met her halfway. He pulled back and looked her in the eyes.

"Kagome, I love you. I truly love you."

"I know, and I love you too," she said as she moved in for another kiss.

Epilogue
