Over The Rainbow
 
 
“Man, that demon really hit Kagome good! Is she going to be okay?”
 
“Don't know yet, Shippo. Do me a favor and go get some more water for her.” Inuyasha said. Shippo scampered off, weaving around the numerous legs hovering around Kagome.
 
“Do you think it would be wise to take Kagome back through the well to her own time? She did receive a very nasty bump on the head.” Miroku asked as he peered over Inuyasha's shoulder at the prostrate form of his friend.
 
“She will not be moved. She will stay here where I can keep watch over her.” Sesshoumaru stated flatly.
 
“Dammit Sesshoumaru! She needs to see a healer in her own time!” Inuyasha growled. He remembered the feeling of utter helplessness as he watched his best friend get hurled high into the air by the demon that caught them off guard earlier.
 
“She will not be moved”
 
He looked down as Kagome began to stir. “She's saying something! What is she saying?” Inuyasha asked. “Quiet!” Sesshoumaru barked back.
 
“She's humming something . . . she's humming a song!” Shippo shouted. “Did she say something about a rainbow?”
 
“I . . . I think so. I can't make out.” Inuyasha replied.
 
 
Several hours later, Kagome slowly opened her eyes. “Kagome! Are you okay! How are you feeling? Kagome, say something!” multiple voices shouted from all around her.
 
“Quiet! Move back, and let her speak!” Sesshoumaru growled out.
 
He leaned over the small girl, to ask her how she was feeling. Before he could get the words out, she blurted out, “You were there! I met you there!” pointing her finger at him.
 
“What are you talking about, Miko? I have been right here the whole time.”
 
“No, you were there! You were with me, over the rainbow. You . . . you were made of tin, and were on a quest to find your heart! We were traveling to find the great wizard, and he was going to give you a heart, but you found out it was with you all along!” she said in one great breath.
 
Sesshoumaru simply blinked at her.
 
“I think her brain may be more damaged than we thought.” Shippo piped up.
 
“You were there too, Shippo! I carried you in my bike basket! We were going to try and destroy the wicked witch, who was after my Shikon slippers.” Kagome looked over, “Oh, Inuyasha, you were there too!”
 
“Huh? Kagome, you are making absolutely no sense at all. What are you talking about?” he said.
 
“You were made of straw, and you came with us on the journey. You were looking for your brain!”
 
“Hey! What are ya' tryin' to say?” he said defensively.
 
“Kagome has obviously suffered a very serious head injury. Maybe she should lay back down and rest.” Miroku interjected, before things got too out of hand between Inuyasha and Kagome.
 
“I agree. Kagome needs to rest. I will take you back to your time.” Sesshoumaru said. He gently picked her up in both arms and began to carry her towards the well.
 
Kagome leaned her head into his mokomoko-sama and looked up at him. “You believe me, don't you, Sesshoumaru? You believe that I was there? Over the rainbow?” She closed her eyes briefly and clutched her small hand into his lapel. “You were there, you found your heart. It was there all along.” She whispered against his chest as he carried her. “Please believe me.”
 
“I believe you, Kagome. I believe you.” He chuckled lightly. He paused, and made sure he was well out of earshot. “You have always known my heart was there.” He whispered as she looked up at him. “Now let's get you to a healer.”
