-Kagome-
Kilala transformed into her bigger self once we were a few feet away from Miroku and Sango and I picked Shippo up and hopped onto her back. The ride towards Koga's den was spent in silence, but I didn't mind. It gave me time to mull over what just happened. I killed the woman who had caused me so much pain while I had stayed in this time and gotten my soul back, I hurt the two people I had once considered my friends, and I killed the man I'd once given my heart to. My business in this time was done, well almost. I'd eventually have to come back to finish what I started. Which is why I needed to talk to Koga.
Kilala landed a few feet away from the den, but as the wind picked up and carried my scent forward it didn't take long for Koga to come running out to meet me.
"Kagome!"
He said with a huge, relieved smile on his face.
"Hey Koga."
I said and gently pulled my hands out of his. He seemed to pick up on my mood and his smile fell.
"So you finally did it?"
He asked and I nodded.
"Can we talk inside?"
I asked and he nodded before leading me inside his den. Hikkaku and Ginta both smiled at me and I waved at them before sitting next to Koga on his bedding. Kilala jumped into my lap and Shippo sat beside me.
"Koga, the first thing I need to tell you is that despite how kind you've been to me and continue to be to me I just don't see you the way you want me to, so please stop chasing after me and calling me your woman."
I said and he blinked his blue eyes in surprise at me before nodding in understanding.
"I understand Kagome."
He said and I smiled at him.
"The second thing is something I'm sure you can already guess."
I said and he waited for me to continue.
"I killed Inuyasha as well as Kikyo. But the reason why I did what I did is what I'm not sure if you know about."
I said and he looked at me confused. I took a deep breathe and started telling him what happened that night all the way up to when I left through the well up to the point that I came back and landed outside his cave.
"That bastard. If he wasn't already dead I'd go kill him myself."
He said and I couldn't help but smile at him. Koga was a true friend and I was glad to have met him.
"Did you get mutt-face's sword?"
Koga asked and I started to shake my head until Shippo spoke up.
"I thought it might be a good idea to take it with us since Inuyasha couldn't use it anymore."
He said as he held the Tetsaiga out to me. I smiled down at him before taking it from him.
"What are you going to do with it now?"
Koga asked and I sighed. I knew of only one person that this sword should go to, but I'd go visit him after I was done talking with Koga.
"The reason I'm here Koga isn't for a social chat."
I said and he nodded for me to continue.
"Inuyasha is dead and I refuse to travel and work with Miroku and Sango after their betrayal, so I'd like to ask for your help when I decide to come back and search for the jewel. I still hold that responsibility and I intend to finish what I started."
I said and Koga smiled at me.
"Of course Kagome, me and my pack will help in any way we can. Just come and see us when you come back. You're welcome at any time."
He said and I smiled at him before getting to my feet and bowing to him.
"Thank you Koga, but I have one last stop I need to go to before heading back. I'm not sure when I'll come back, but when I do I'll be sure to come by."
I said and he smiled sadly at me as he got to his feet. He held his arms out in an invitation of a hug and I accepted it. It was nice to be hugged by someone again.
"I'll see you later Koga."
I said before strapping the Tetsaiga to my waist and walking out of the cave with Kilala and Shippo in tow.
"Alright Kilala, we need to head West. I need to speak with Sesshomaru about what's happened and despite the fact that I'd like to avoid doing this complete, I'll need his help when it comes down to it."
I said and Kilala simply mewled before being engulfed in flames and transforming. Shippo and I jumped on her back and once we were settled she took to the air. I sighed as we headed towards the Western lands. Koga had been easy to talk to because he was my friend, Sesshomaru on the other hand, isn't going to be as easy
A/N: Short I know, but you get the point as to what's going on.
