Chapter 3
There lying on the ground was my beautiful, lovely Kagome. Beside her were Shippo and Kouga. Shippo ran up to me and jumped on my shoulder. " Kagome ran all the way here the she collapsed. I went to get some water for her, but I couldn't think of a way to help. Then I smelled Kouga and went and got him." He said all at once. I knew that Kouga was helping. I wouldn't yell at him. They just expected me to, but what I did astonished even me. "Thanks for helping her Kouga." I said and sat down beside to watch her as she slept.
He didn't yell, growl, or snap at me. What was going on? I thought of many reasons, but none seemed sensible enough so I let it alone. He really must love her. He isn't even thinking about being mean to me. I can feel it. He's to busy thinking about her. Kouga got up and turned to the path on which he came. "Now that you guys are here I'll leave. Tell Kagome it was nice seeing her again." I said and then left before they could reply.
I woke up surrounded by familiar faces. "Kagome! You finally woke up." Sango said as she walked over to sit beside me. "Sango! Miroku! Inuyasha! You guys made it back!" I exclaimed when I saw my friends and my beloved here with Shippo and me. "Yeah. Naraku couldn't have killed us if he wanted to, but we killed him." Miroku said. " Miroku, if I remember correctly, at one time in the battle you said ' We're going to die'." Inuyasha quoted. " I.. uh..I" He said then shut his mouth quickly. I laughed at the embarrassed look on his face. Inuyasha then looked back to me. Kagome are you sure you're feeling all right?" he asked. I looked my beloved straight in the face and nodded. "We're not too far from Kaede's village. Do you want to head there or stay here tonight?" Inu asked. "I think I can make it to the village. I really don't want to stay another night." I replied. This place always spooks me. Now that we finished the Shikon No Tama I never had to go into this gloomy forest again. One thing that ran through my head all the while, what would Inuyasha do? I mean. We had put Kikyou to rest a little while ago. And I don't think that he would want to become a full demon now. Too many people liked him that way. Plus, He didn't want to be lowered down to demon scum or even lowered to puny, worthless human. I know that I like him just the way he is. Inuyasha put me on his back like countless times before. I rested there. He took off towards the village. Kilala followed us with Sango and Miroku. Shippo was hanging off one of Kilala's tails. I went to sleep feeling like everything was the same, but when I woke up later my whole life was changed.
(A/N) I am so sorry! I have been so busy. I finished writing Taken, I've written a sequel called Gain and Loss, and a third one to go with them I have no idea what I'm going to call it. The third one will be finished in a week or two. I will not start the fourth one until I at least finish posting Taken and Gain and Loss. I will continue to work on this one. In fact, I am going to post two to three chapters for you today, considering how much time I've got. I'll thank my reviewers in Chapter 4. All of them! Sayonara!
