His Choice For Forever

Ok, so this is my VERY FIRST attempt at a story, so it's really not that great. I don't mind constructive criticism, but please NO FLAMES, seeing to how I'm all out of chocolate and marshmallows and can't make smores.

Disclaimers for the lawyer peoplez: I don't Own InuYasha, the characters, anime, or manga. I only own this story. Yah….life sucks…. Oh wells…..I can still dream….

"Please, just a little longer...just…hold on a little longer Kagome. I'm so sorry…."

It had been her. The one he had almost left Kagome for….almost. But she had betrayed him….had done the one thing he had thought she would never do. She had hurt Kagome and then even expected him to be ok with it. Well she would pay he thought as he growled under his breath.

FLASHBACK

"Sango dearest would you please pass me my fish? I think its done." ask the young monk Miroku. "Oh….uh…su…sure…" replied the immediately flustered demon slayer, flushing slightly as she handed the fish to Miroku, almost dropping it in the process. "Easy now." He said grabbing the fish just before it was lost and taking a bite out of it. "Ah…perfect as always, thank you my dearest Sango." He said as he reached his hand out toward her, a little too friendly. "OH NO YOU DON'T YOU PERV!!" screamed Kagome, seeing what his intentions were, throwing her empty drink can at him, only relaxing slightly when she heard it make solid contact with his head.

"Ouch! Whatever was that for my dearest Kagome?" The lecture asked seemingly innocently, now reaching for her instead. "Have you become jealous of my dear Sango?"

"WHY YOU LITTLE-" began both the girls heatedly, while Sango pulled out her boomerang preparing to knock him out for the next week, only to be cut off by an annoyed InuYasha, yelling at them to calm down.

"Shut up!" he growled. "You guys know that THIS out of all nights is not the time to be loud and drawing attention to ourselves, and besides, as much as that little perv deserves it, you know just as well as I do that we'll need Miroku's wind tunnel if something happens tonight."

Sango just sent a glare at Miroku that clearly told him, just wait till that freaken sun rises; you're in for it then, causing Miroku to sweatdrop, and move to the other side of the fire next to a sleeping Shippo to avoid the flames that were practically jumping from her aura.

Kagome forcefully paused mid-breath, immediately swallowing her retort. He was right after all, no matter how bad she didn't want to admit it. She glanced up at him.

His red fire rat kimono was the same as always, seemingly new, even after all the battles he had been in the last few months. His voice and personality were the same as she always remembered it being too, give or take the few bits of what she knew were unwanted slips of emotions that would unconsciously slip into his eyes and voice.

As she looked at his face, she took in his details for what she subconsciously knew was the millionth time. She almost laughed as she asked herself which she liked better, her normal, silver haired, yellow eyed, almost emotionless hanyou, or the InuYasha of tonight, and well….any new moon really. With his dark hair and eyes and….well humanly features and personality, she almost decided on the human side. But as she thought about it, she realized almost immediately that if he was always like this, she wouldn't really be happy like she was now. She'd not only miss the fighting ability, which, she thought, beside the point…..no….what she would really miss, she thought, was just his overall personality…originally. Because as much as she hated to admit it….this InuYasha was…..how could she put it…..almost…weird….and she almost-

"WHAT THE HE DO YOU WANT KAGOME?! YOU'RE GIVING ME THE CREEPS!!" Shouted a less-than-happy, slightly freaked-out looking InuYasha.

"Wha…….?" Replied Kagome, suddenly coming back to reality.

"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!! WHY'R YOU STARING AT ME?!" he yelled, walking over to Kagome and crossing his arms.

"Oh…" she mumbled, deep red quickly flushing her cheeks. "Um…I was just….uh…yah know…um-"

"NO I DON'T KAGOME! OR I WOULDN'T BE ASKING YAH NOW WOULD I!!" he screamed, cutting across her.

"It's…uh…nu...nuthing" she stammered, trying to regain her composure. "I was just…uh…..I was just staring blankly at nothing!! Sheesh…"

"YOU WERE NOT!! YOU WERE STARING RIGHT AT ME!! AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY!!" he yelled unbelieving.

She was now a very bright red, and had no idea how to reply

Now what smart one...? Asked Kagome's conscious teasingly.

I don't know!! You're supposed to be helping me! That's kinda your job isn't it?!

So…your point is?

Ugg...now what…? Thought Kagome helplessly, knowing she was losing her own battle.

Fine… well for one don't tell him the truth whatever you do!!

Oh yah…thanks a lot…I really needed to be told that…

Well you better think of something fast!!

No duh!!...Fine…well I guess I could try this….maybe it'll catch him off-guard…..

"I JUST FELT LIKE STARING!!" she screamed, wanting to see what his reaction was, hoping it would turn out like she wanted it to. She had been worried lately, or really, she thought, since he had started disappearing whenever Kikyo's soul collectors were near as of late. Hoping for the best, she waited for his reply.

"Wha……..what?" he stuttered, immediately turning a bright red and taking a step back, not knowing how to take this. "Wha...what's that supposed to mean? What kind of answer is that?!"

Sango and Miroku just sat there with a bored expression on their faces. Kagome and InuYasha had been fighting a lot lately over stupid stuff, so this really wasn't anything new. And he told us we were too loud, sheesh, the little hypocrite; we were quieter that he is, I mean heck, the whole forest probably knows we're here by now. Thought Sango absent-mindedly; still plotting Miroku's soon-to-be death. Miroku subconsciously scooted another few inches away from her.

"Whatever, I just-" she froze. All of a sudden she felt it. She recognized it immediately with pure distaste. She didn't want to admit it, but it was Kikyo's aura. No, not her, not right now! She thought disparately, thinking that this conversation was as good as over. Just when it was about to get good too. She sighed.

"KAGOME!"

"What?" she said, looking up at InuYasha and immediately coming back to her senses, cursing herself when she realized how stupid she must have looked, pausing in mid-sentence like that and then sighed for no apparent reason. But what was she supposed to do about Kikyo? She was wracking her brains trying to figure out a solution, when all at once it hit her. InuYasha is human tonight! Which means he can't sense her! She almost laughed at that point, thinking maybe her conversation wasn't over quite yet, but then another question hit her. Why isn't she sending her soul collectors to get him?! She was getting confused, and she needed to find out what was going on. But, she thought, I can't let InuYasha know what I'm doing. If he finds out, then he's sure to go straight to her!

"Ka…Kagome…." InuYasha said hesitantly, raising a hand toward her and taking another step back, wondering what had gotten into her.

"INUYASHA SIT!" she screamed out of no where.

-SMACK-

"HEY! Whaf wath tat sor?!" (what was that for) asked InuYasha ruefully, through a mouthful of dirt and grass, feeling that he hadn't deserved her torture this time.

"I'M LEAVING. I'm going to take a bath. You better not follow me. OR ELSE." She yelled, emphasizing the last two words, her eyes like daggers, daring him to even think about following her. This is the only thing I can say and him to keep him from following. She thought desperately, throwing her battered yellow bag over her shoulder, trying to make her story seem as convincing as possible. With that she stormed off into the bushes.

InuYasha looked with disbelief at the dark patch of woods she just took off in.

"What……what was that for…?" he asked in disbelief to the others, almost afraid Kagome would come back and torture him some more with her violent mood swings.

"Wait! I want to take a bath too!" yelled Sango after her, picking up her boomerang and Kagome's forgotten bow and arrows. I don't know what exactly is going on, but she might need my help. She thought quickly as she hoisted everything over her shoulder."Oh and Miroku, if I find you within a mile radius of us….hehe…lets just say you'll wish u have it as easy as InuYasha over there….." She growled as an after-thought, running off into the same patch of brush Kagome had just disappeared into.

Miroku, having also felt Kikyo's aura, and figuring Kagome and Sango knew what they was doing, decided to play along with them. "Geese InuYasha, you really did it this time didn't you? You should really learn to be nicer to Kagome sometimes. Sheesh…you really are hopeless aren't you?"

"Whatever……." He mumbled, still confused about what he had done, or if he had done anything at all for that matter. "She just better not go get herself hurt, that's all." And with that he went to sit down outside of the circle of light, oblivious to everything that was going on, and what was about to come.
