One Truth Prevails Chapter 15: Broken Arrow

Kagome sniffed, wondering how he still recognized her, even with being this small.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, taking a step forward into the room.

The hanyou's back was to Kagome, so he didn't see what she looked like. But, finding her voice sounding a bit odd, he got curious and turned to look at her. Nearly falling off the window sill in shock at seeing a mini-Kagome, he was almost instantly at her side.

"What the hell happened?!" Inuyasha asked, taking in Kagome's new appearance, and acting like everything was normal between them. She expected that, and wasn't sure if she was greatful or not for it.

"I...was um...poisoned...." Kagome said softly.

Inuyasha gave a gentle knock on her head. "Hello....you should know that poison usually kills. You're still alive and kickin'."

Kagome gave him a weak smile. "I know- the poison or whatever it was made me younger instead of killing me. I'd rather that than die, though."

Inuyasha nodded. "So...who did it?"

"Two men in black," Kagome shrugged.

"Oh that's helpful," Inuyasha scoffed, and Kagome rolled her eyes.

"I was a little too busy being attacked to notice what they looked like!" Kagome said, and he sighed. She had a point, as always.

"You're not alone- I smell others in the house with you, and on you," he said, taking a sniff of the air.

Kagome nodded. "I'm here with a few friends of mine...they claimed the house was haunted."

Inuyasha gave a bark of a laugh. "And you believed them?"

"Of course not," Kagome said. "I just wanted to see for myself what really was in this house."

Inuyasha looked away as she said that, and she reached out a hand hesitantly, but in the end, placed it on his shoulder, making him look back over at him.

"...You left..."

"...Because you went with Kikyou," Kagome said softly. "I figured there was no more place for me there...."

"Feh, stupid. As usual." Inuyasha sighed, and picked her up, placing her in his lap as he sat back down. Being so close to him after so long made her feel....

....Nothing?

Kagome blinked. Sure, she was happy to see him again, beyond happy. She was also happy that he hadn't gone to hell with Kikyou after all, and wondered why the two were even here in the first place.

"I went to follow you, stupid, but Kikyou put me under some kinda spell, and we went to your world."

"Why?" Kagome blinked, wondering what Kikyou could want here.

"She wanted to find you, but you weren't at the shrine. She made me tail your scent until we found you."

"What does Kikyou want with me now? I'm out of the picture- or at least, I was, when I left. Why did she track me down?" Kagome asked him. Inuyasha was about to answer, when someone did before her.

"I wanted to get rid of you...for good."

Kagome jumped and looked over at the sound of the voice. Kikyou stood there at the entrance to the room, bow and arrow in hand.

Inuyasha growled and stood up, gently placing her behind him protectively.

"Leave her alone, Kikyou."

"Thank you for breaking my spell, Kagome," Kikyou said bitterly. "We were happy together and you ruined it."

Kagome peaked out from behind Inuyasha. "How can you be truly happy if you force someone to love you!?"

"Silence!" Kikyou shot an arrow in Kagome's direction, it glowing with a pink light. But Inuyasha was too fast for it, and picked Kagome up in his arms and running out of it's way.

"You protect her and not come to my side?" Kikyou asked, her eyes narrowing at Inuyasha, getting ready to shoot another arrow.

Inuyasha went to strike her to get the bow out of her grasp, but everything happened so fast. So fast that Kagome wasn't able to wrap her mind around it.

The door burst open, revealing Conan, just as the arrow was about to strike Kagome. As the arrow made it's way to her, Inuyasha tried to get back to her, but it was too fast this time.

Kagome closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the arrow to hit her. Waiting to feel the pain of the arrow piercing her chest. When she didn't, she opened her eyes slowly...and gasped.

"Conan!"

The young boy had taken the arrow for her. It pierced right above his heart, and blood was spoiling his blue shirt as he collapsed against her.

"...You're alright...thank goodness..." Conan whispered, looking up at Kagome before closing hs eyes, falling unconscious.

Both Inuyasha and Kikyou stood silent, watching as Kagome collapsed to the ground, crying while hugging Conan close to her body.

"Conan...Conan...no....don't leave..." Kagome couldn't take another tragedy, she just couldn't. Tears were spilling down her face, as her body suddenly glowed a bright purple.

Her hands also glowing, brighter than the rest of her body, she placed her hands over the spot where the arrow piereced Conan's chest, and watched as it dissolved, and disappeared into the air. The wound on his chest faded until it was nothing more than a simple scar that he would most likely have for all time.

When the glowing faded, Kagome was still hugging Conan close, but gentle in her arms. He groaned slightly, slowly opening his tired eyes, and glanced up to see a crying Kagome. She was whispering things like "No", and "Don't go", over and over again.

"Hush, Kagome...I'm fine," Conan whispered tiredly as he looked up at her. Kagome gasped and opened her eyes, looking at him.

"You...you're alive..."

"Of course," Conan said with a small smile, before gently hugging her. "You know it takes a lot more than an arrow to bring me down."

She gave a small laugh. "One truth prevails."

Conan grinned. "You better remember that, missy."

Kagome giggled, and hugged him back, the two completely forgetting the other occupants of the room.

"Where are the others? Are you okay? Are you hurting anywhere?" she asked him worriedly, but he put a finger to her lips to silence her, making her blush.

"Relax, Kagome."

Before Conan realized what he was doing, even though he felt it was the right thing, their lips met in a kiss.

Kagome's eyes widened, but her body instantly relaxed, and she calmed down. After a few minutes, she found herself kissing him back, making Conan's heart skip a beat.

Inuyasha watched on sadly, but knew he lost his chance with her when she left the feudal era and sealed the well. It had been Kikyou with her strong magic who had unsealed it, and followed her. But he was willing to let her go. She deserved happiness, he just wasn't the one to give it to her.

He took his leave without saying goodbye, and a silent Kikyou followed soon after, knowing it was futile to try and end the girl's life now.

The left the two, kissing, and wrapped in each other's arms.
