Kagome scurried out of the small enclosure of where Megatron had fallen, wary eyes making sure the Decepticon leader wouldn't get back up.
By this time, the others had closed in on Megatron's body. Finally able to relax. The other Decepticons were either taken care of or had run off, scattering to safer places.
Kagome stumbled about, taking everyone in and smiling when she finally spotted him. Just as she was about to move, she turned at Optimus' voice.
"Kagome, you saved my life."
She stared up at him, and shuffled about on the spot. "Like a wise man once said, 'No sacrifice, no victory'." she tossed a smile at Sam who looked shocked that she had used their family motto.
When Ironhide approached carrying Jazz towards Optimus, Kagome made her way towards him. Though she did stop to give Sam a hug, thanking him for all that he had done. Which had been keeping him safe.
And then she was finally at his side once again, her eyes taking him in, obvious in looking for any new signs of damage. She herself looked far more bruised than when she had first set out to Sam's. Her clothing was torn and dirty, her hair a total mess, skin streaked with dirt, blood and showing all signs of abuse.
But he had never been more happy to see her than ever before.
AN: I love it when I have Mondays off. I hate Mondays in general, so I'm happy. Read, enjoy, and review!
