Kagome suddenly wanted to cry. He still loves her, even after she…Well, what did I expect, I mean…I…I'm just a friend to him, nothing more. She looked out sadly after him, as the last few wisps of silvery white hair disappeared around the corner.

"Kagome-sama? The jewel…" Miroku interrupted softly, putting a tentative hand on her shoulder. She shrugged him off indifferently.

"Oh, yeah right. Gomen." She followed her senses to the small sphere, and slipped the jewel shard out of her pocket, and fused with the rest. Now it sat, cool and completed in her small, sweaty palm. Kagome closed her hand over it, and sniffed a little. "Am I allowed to make a wish?"

"I guess so. I mean you were the one who found it and all," Sango said, hopping to cheer her friend up.

"No, I'll wait for Inuyasha. I bet he'll want to make a wish, I'm sure." Kagome gave a small, watery smile. "Now let's get out of here, this place gives me the creeps."

He was consumed by burning guilt. He had locked his insane love in a closet. He had left Kagome for this nut job. Inuyasha trotted obediently up the stairs, and twisted the gold knob, throwing the door ajar. Immediately, he felt something very sharp against his neck.

"Kikyo," Inuyasha muttered, grabbing her by the hands, wrenching the knife out of her grasp. "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong! What's wrong! You lock me in the closet for almost two whole days! I'm tired! I'm hungry! I want a bath! Where's Naraku?"

"He's dead."

"Y-You killed him? You murderer!"

"You mean you actually had feelings for that creep!" Kikyo shrugged.

"Hey, he let me live it up in this palace for half a month, who gives a crap." Inuyasha shook his head, grabbing her by the wrist.

"Well, I have to turn you in."

"Turn me in? But-"

"You almost killed me, and Kagome. You're dangerous. I feel bad doing this, but…it has to be done. At most, you'll be in there for six months, then released."

"You betrayed me, Inuyasha!" Kikyo screamed. She had just jabbed a knife in his fragile heart.

"N-No, it's not like that Kikyo…you betrayed me. You don't take me for who I am, sorry. I really don't want to."

"Then why are you doing it! Give your girlfriend a break! Set me free!"

"Ex girlfriend," Inuyasha corrected, ear flicking backwards. He heard loud, shrill sirens. "Sango called the police on her cell phone. They'll search for you. You won't make it far." Tears threatened to break free.

"I hate you!"

"C'mon," he said in a emotionless voice, dragging her along through the corridors wrecked from their recent battles. I know I'll always have a place in my heart for Kikyo, but I can't have two women I love. I have to tell Kagome how I feel, one way or another. They barged through the large oak front doors. Policemen stood in the front yard, running around, searching the area, conversing on walkie-talkies. One cop noticed Kikyo and pointed.

"Is that her?" Inuyasha nodded slowly, mouth trembling.

"You have the right to remain silent, anything can and will be used against you in the court of law," one guy murmured close to her ear as he snapped on shiny, silver handcuffs. Inuyasha blinked away the tears that blurred his vision.

"Inuyasha?"

"Kagome?"

"I'm so sorry! I mean, I didn't want for Kikyo to-" She was silenced when she felt Inuyasha wrap her into a hug.

"It wasn't your fault," he said in a teasingly soft voice. "I was afraid back there. More afraid than I am now. I thought that I was gonna lose you, and it would be all my fault!" A tear soaked the fabric of his dark red sweater.

"I wouldn't blame you. It was my choice to come."

"But why, though?" he asked. "I mean, you didn't come for Kikyo, or Naraku…"

"For you," Kagome replied, blushing as she nuzzled his neck.

"Really?"

"Yeah, of course."

"Why?"

"Because I care about you."

Sorry for the shortness and pointlessness of this chapter, but I promise the next one will be medium length, and then you're in for a long, fluff filled, KAWAII epilogue. Oh, and by the way, I'm not Hawaiian, I had a luau party once and my mom said that Aloha meant good-bye and hello, so I say it all the time now. It sounds better than Later Days from Weekenders. Well ALOHA! MUWAHAHAHA!
