*Last Chapter*
~{Kagome felt the blush come to her cheeks. "No it wasn't him, it was..." her voice trailed off.
"Oh Kami, if it wasn't Inu Yasha, it has to be Sesshoumaru. What is going on, Kagome-chan?" She handed the necklace back to her friend.
"I don't know, it started after I fell into the well with him." Kagome filled her friend in on what had happened, including the part in the hospital. When she was done she looked at Sango checking for signs of disgust and hatred. She was beyond shocked when she didn't find any.
"Does Inu Yasha know?" came the question, barely a whisper.
Kagome hung her head, "No I haven't told him yet. I don't even know if I should accept it. I am only eighteen and I still have college to do."}~
Now on with the story....
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~*
"Kagome-chan, if you have really melted the ice around Sesshoumaru's heart then go for it. But whatever you decide Inu Yasha deserves to know. He cares about you alot even if he doesn't show it."
"I know Sango-chan, Inu Yasha told me his feelings for me when I returned. I just don't love him that way any more." Kagome sighed, "I guess we should get some sleep now. Sorry to have kept you awake."
Sango placed her hand on her friend's back, "Kagome-chan, never be sorry about needing to talk." Sango gave Kagome a smile before heading back over to her cot to sleep.
Kagome layed down to sleep, "Thanks, Sango-chan, good night."
"Good night." Sango whispered back before she drifted off to sleep.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~*
A sharp, throbbing pain in her side brought Kagome out of her dream. She opened her eyes, looking over to the two empty cots she sighed and sat up. She winced as a sharp pain shot through her body. Slowly she pulled herself out of bed and headed to the bathroom and ran herself a bath. After her bath she went downstairs to look for everyone.
Walking into the kitchen she spotted her mother prepairing lunch. "Hi mom, where is everyone?" She walked over to the table after pouring herself a drink.
"The kids are outside playing and everyone else is in the livingroom waiting for lunch to be done." Mrs. Higurashi moved from the sink to the stove, picking up a spoon she began stirring the rice.
"Oh." Kagome picked up the pills that were lying on the table, popping them into her mouth she took a big gulp of her drink downing the pills. With her drink in hand she went into the living room.
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~*
Four weeks had passed and everyone was packing their stuff they had gotten during their stay. Inu Yasha was getting anxious about collecting the shards again.
Sesshoumaru was waiting patiently outside for Kagome's return. He smirked when he saw the metal contraption Kagome had called a car. He casually walked over to the passenger side door and opened it for Kagome. He took her hand in his and helped her out of the car. "How are you feeling, Kagome?"
She smiled at him as she stepped out of the car. "Really, Sess-chan, they only took the stitches out, I am fine."
Inu Yasha's ears perked up when he heard the car pull into the driveway. A huge grin broke out on his face and he took off out the door to greet her. He stopped in his tracks and let out a low growl at the sight before him.
Kagome turned towards the growl, "Inu Yasha..." She watched as her friend turned tail and took off towards the well house.
He turned his back on her before she could see him crying. He leaped from the top of the stairs to the well below. His feet had barely touched down on the other side of the well before he was out and running through the woods. He jumped up into his favorite tree and stared blankly at the sky. The tears were still falling from his eyes.
Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru, "Will you make sure the others get through the well and bring my bag? I need to go talk with him."
He smiled lovingly at her, "Sure, we will be there shortly."
"Thanks!" She hugged him, then went to her mother and said her good-byes, then went to the well. After climbing out of the well on the other side, it didn't take her long to find Inu Yasha. She looked up into the tree at him, she noticed he wasn't turning to look at her. "Inu Yasha?"
Keeping his back to her, he replied, "What do you want wench?"
"Please come down, I need to talk to you."
"Keh, what ever you have to say I don't want to hear it." He snorted to emphasize his point.
Kagome put her hands on her hips and glared at his back. "Inu Yasha, don't make me have to say 'it'." When he didn't budge she sighed. "Okay, you asked for it. Sit!"
He fell from the tree into the ground face first. He laid where he fell, not speaking or trying to pry himself from the ground. Kagome started to worry when the spell had enough time to wear off and he still hadn't moved to get up. "Inu Yasha?" When he didn't respond she walked over to him and went to help him up. She jumped in shock when he jerked his body away from her touch. Her worry quickly melting away to anger, she backed away from him. "Fine, you don't want to talk to me, I will leave and this time I won't be coming back."
With that she turned towards the well and started to make her way home. She got to the well, the other were already through and probably back at the town. She could still feel the remnants of the magic the well gives off when someone passes through it. Sighing she climbed up on the edge and went to jump in. Expecting to be falling she gasped when she felt arms go around her waist and she dangled in the air.
"Oi, wench, who said you could go home?" Inu Yasha pulled her back out of the well and sat her down away from it. After setting her down, he took a seat next to the well putting himself between it and her. He looked up at Kagome, "Well, I'm listening."
She inhaled deeply, not sure about how she was going to tell him. She shoved her hand into the pocket of her jeans she wore due to the cooler weather. Pulling out the necklace, she looked to him, "Sesshoumaru gave me this." She closed her hand around it and held her hand out to him.
He held out his hand and felt something heavy and cold fall into it. He looked at the object he held in shock. "Are you sure he gave you this?"
"Yes, Inu Yasha, I have it don't I?" She sat down and held her breath while she waited for his reaction.
"Did you accept it?" He looked at her, an eyebrow arched in question.
"Not yet, that is what I needed to talk to you about. I know how much you hate him and if me accepting it will cause me to lose your friendship then I don't want it."
Surprised by her words he looked up wide eyed at her. "You know, after his mother died and our father married my mother, he swore he would never give this necklace to anyone." He looked down at the necklace then back to Kagome. "You would really give up your happiness for my friendship?"
She gave him a smile, "Yes, Inu Yasha, I would."
He handed her the necklace back, "Accept it, Kagome, I want you to be happy." After giving her a hug he went to find his brother. He found Sesshoumaru at Kaede's, pulling him aside he gave him a serious look.
"Yes, Inu Yasha, what is it you want?" he asked, annoyed.
"I just want to tell you one thing. You hurt her in any way, I will kill you." With that he walked back into the hut to join his friends.
Kagome walked into the hut a few minutes after the two brothers return. Around her neck hung the necklace showing everyone she had proudly accepted it. She watched as Rin ran up to her at full speed.
"Rin was told you are going to be my new mommy. Are you going to be Rin's new mommy?" She asked pleadingly.
"Hai, Rin, I'm going to be your mother." Rin squealed in delight and gave her a big hug. After everyone congratulated her they had a feast, then settled in for bed. Kagome was just about to dose off in Sesshoumaru's arms when he whispered in her ear.
"I do believe it is customary to say happy birthday, so happy birthday Kagome."
She rolled over and caught his lips with hers, after breaking the kiss off she whispered back to him. "Thank you Sess-chan. I love you." She rolled back over and closed her eyes again.
"And I you." He laid next to her listening to everyone breathing. When he was sure everyone was asleep, he slipped out from behind Kagome. He went over to her bag and grabbed a shirt from it, also neatly placing a note in its place.
Walking over to the sleeping hanyou he wrapped his hand in Kagome's shirt. He carefully removed Inu Yasha's sword from his side. After getting the sword he walked over to Kagome. He bent down and unclasped the necklace, the secured it in on of the folds in his armor. With that he was gone, taking with him the two items and Jaken.
