With her trembled words spoken, Kagome retreated from a red faced Sam. Her hands shook slightly as she took the Cube back. She gave him a smile, he wasn't sure who she was trying to encourage hope in right now. Him or herself.

Her back straightened as her face became determined and turned towards the others, the energy he had come to accustom to something that was uniquely Kagome trickling out only for the Cube to siphon it in.

Ironhide was crouched down, Ratched in a similar position but keeping an optic out for Decepticons, when he spoke up. "Kagome, we will protect you."

Kagome nodded her head once before spinning around and started towards the building Lennox spoke up.

"Kagome, you owe me for this."

Bee watched as Kagome paused and eyed the boy with wide eyes. A large smile bloomed across her face as she nodded her head.

"Don't worry, I think I have something in mind that you'll love!"

"Kagome, you need to move!"

At Ironhide's words, Kagome started running once again, turned the corner and was quickly out of his sight. His Spark tugged, needing to be near her but had to accept the fact that Ironhide and Ratchet were keeping her covered.


AN: Forgot that today was Thursday and thus update day. But I did remember! =3
