The Heartbreak
(Chapter 8)
Inuyasha was looking down the well, wishing that Kagome would come back to him. He didn't understand the pain but he could be there to comfort her as much as possible. Inuyasha felt a chill go up his spine and he sniffed the air and froze. How is that possible? He spun around and Koga's beaten and dirt covered body was limping toward him. "Koga?" Inuyasha stood up and started slowly toward him, Koga's soulless form just kept walking toward the well. Inuyasha watched to see his body stop at the edge of the well, he took a step toward Koga and then Koga fell head first into the well, when Inuyasha ran to the side of the well Koga's body was gone. Inuyasha tried jumping into the well after him, but was forced out by a glowing light.
"Kagome are you sure you want to do this? What if you get side effects from doing this?" Koga's spirit was standing next to Kagome as she laid down Koga's body that had unburied itself and walked into the well. "I didn't have any side effects from saving Kohaku's life." Kagome was making preparations and cleaning all of Koga's cuts and bandaging up his wounds so that when he was back in his own body there was less to worry about. "I just don't want you to take any risks with me." Koga kneeled down next to her "Look at me." he whispered
Kagome turned her head slowly toward Koga's spirit and Koga saw the longing in her eyes. "I love you Kagome." Was all he said and then he brought her lips to hers "That will feel so much better once your back in your own body." Kagome took a deep breath and stood up and threw her arms around Koga one last time, "Let's hope this works." She whispered and then she was kneeling again and had her hands on Koga's right leg where the piece of the jewel shard still laid.
"Ready" Kagome asked and looked up at Koga he nodded and then shut his eyes ready for whatever pain was coming his way, Kagome's fingers touched right above the jewel shard and it started to glow brightly she felt the same energy she felt when saving Kohaku's life fill her. Koga's body started to jerk and pain was shown across his face when Kagome looked up Koga's spirit was also showing pain on his face. Kagome dug into Koga's leg and slowly took out the half of the jewel shard when it was out there was a blinding white light and Koga's spirit disappeared.
Koga's body had stopped jerking and he laid there not moving…not breathing. Kagome's eyes started to tear up and she threw herself on Koga's chest and sobbed. After a minute or two Koga's body twitched and he gasped for air, Kagome shot up and Koga bolted up into a sitting position and gulped big lung fulls of air. "Koga! Thank god I thought I lost you." Koga placed one arm around Kagome and held her to him "Thank you Kagome. Thank you." He whispered and kissed the top of Kagome's head
Kagome helped Koga walk to her bedroom, her mom, brother, and grandpa had left a note earlier saying they were going to be gone for the afternoon and they would be home in time for supper. "Are you alright?" Kagome asked when she was helping Koga under the covers, "I will be if you join me." He said giving her his sexy smile, she smiled back and crawled in next to him. He pulled her to him and she lay against his warm bare chest. She had given him a pair of sweat pants that use to be her dads as his other clothes were getting cleaned.
Kagome saw Koga's neck was glowing and when she looked down so was hers. "What's happening?" she whispered, Koga didn't have enough time to respond because the glowing stopped and the mating marks reappeared on each of their necks. Kagome ran her hand across Koga's mating mark that she had given him and smiled "Are you happy they are back my love?" Koga asked kissing her neck where her mating mark just reappeared
"Yes actually I am." Koga lifted his head to look into her eyes, "You don't know how happy that makes me to hear you say those words." Kagome smiled, "I know something that will make you even happier to hear." Koga looked at Kagome and she leaned in close to his ear "I love you Koga." Is all she whispered then Koga brought her to him and held her as tight as he could without hurting her "I will always love you Kagome." He whispered back and they laid there holding each other for the rest of the day
"What do ye mean his body just fell into the well?" Kaede was standing next to Inuyasha at the wells side, Sango and Miruko weren't that far away and Shippo was looking into the well. "I saw Koga's lifeless body walk to the well and he just fell in head first when I tried going after him I was pushed out by a bright light." Kaede just looked at the well with a puzzled expression, "I guess all we can do now is wait." Inuyasha did not like the response
