Chapter 1---Choices
He looked out onto the setting sun. What did life give him? Why was it worth this fight? The answer was simple: Kikyou. She was the key to his strength; to move forward and avenge her death. She had meant so much to him. He had felt like no one in the world was for him, but her. Yet, somehow, it was different now. 50 years had past and he hadn't really changed. So, what was gripping at his heart and soul? Was it anger? Was it pain? Was it the need to fulfill his duty to Kikyou? No. It was her reincarnation...Kagome.
Over the past year, Kagome had become a part of him and his soul. She was the light that shone into his darkness, the fire that heated him, and the ache that wouldn't subdue in his heart. Kagome made him happy. Him. Happy. Inuyasha enjoyed the peace she gave to him and he had come to realize that she was nothing like Kikyou. Kagome's spirit was hers and hers alone and she wanted Inuyasha to remain, as he was, a hanyou. She didn't care if he were human, demon, or half; she liked him for who he was and that touched deep into Inuyasha's heart.
See Kikyou wanted Inuyasha to become human for her expense. Maybe Kikyou never thought about what Inuyasha wanted? She wanted to complete her dream and become a normal woman. Maybe what happen to them was destiny. He and Kikyou were never meant to be together, normal or abnormal.
Inuyasha watched as the setting sun peeked over a few rolling hills, golden red sky dissipating into dark blue and black. The new moon was upon him and he hated it.
The one question on his mind that weighed on his conscience every waking second on the day: Kikyou or Kagome? He loved Kikyou, but he realized her was falling in love with Kagome. Inuyasha closed his eyes and saw Kikyou's smiling face...or was it Kagome? The two had become one in his mind. How was he supposed to choose over two women who have impacted his life with such intensity?
As Inuyasha felt his human half take over, he heard Kagome come up behind him.
"How are you doing?"
Inuyasha kept silent.
"Inuyasha?"
He turned his head slightly to look at her.
"Are...are you happy?"
He turned fully to her and stared into her almond-colored eyes.
"What do you mean? Of course I'm happy! Why wouldn't I be?"
Kagome frowned and sat on the cool grass. Inuyasha followed her and he still kept his eyes locked on her form.
"Kagome, you know...you always seem to talk to me about my feelings and your feelings when I'm human...ever notice that!"
Kagome looked forward, out over the now dark treetops and hills.
"Yeah, I've noticed. It just...I like talking to you when you're human, but I'd rather talk to you when you're hanyou. You seem to be more like yourself then."
'She thinks of me normal when I'm half-and-half', he thought surprisingly.
The two of them sat in silence, listening to the breeze rustle the leaves and the crickets chirp happily throughout the grasses.
"Kagome?"
"Hmmm?"
"You know I care about you right?"
Kagome looked slowly at Inuyasha and he was looking out into the valley, smirking a little.
"You know that, right?"
She nodded and continued to stare at him.
"And you know I care for Kikyou?"
Kagome nodded again, even though it pained her to know he did.
"But...for some reason...you have given me more than Kikyou did. You have shown me the meaning of friendship, of love, and of destiny."
Kagome sat silently and had the unmistakable look of astonishment and confusion on her face. Inuyasha turned and started directly into her eyes and soul.
"But..."
Kagome knew what was coming. Even in human form, Inuyasha seemed not to realize the strength his words had on her.
"I must repay Kikyou with my life. There's no way I can not. And I know you understand because you would've left me that day you said you'd stay with me..."
"You want to know why I am staying by your side? I'm staying because I want you to live! I want you to be happy! I want to love you from a distance and not from across the well...!"
Kagome covered her mouth and really wished she could drag those words back into her mouth. Inuyasha's smokey gray eyes started blankly at her, the words registering in his head.
Kagome felt tears spring to her eyes, got up and ran with Inuyasha calling after her.
Please review and chappy two will follow soon!
(Inuyasha: Why did you make Kagome run away?
MoonlightMiko2005: Because...you'll know soon.
Inuyasha: WHAT! TELL ME NOW!
MoonlightMiko2005: Do you want me to put Kagome with Koga or Sesshomaru?
Inuyasha:.....You--you can't do that!
MoonlightMiko2005: Try me.
Inuyasha:....*grumbles*...stupid...wench...
MoonlightMiko2005: Excuse me?
Inuyasha: Nothing! I said I will behave.
MoonlightMiko2005: That's what I thought. Now if we get reviews, the story will continue and you'll get your way.
Inuyasha: Really?
MoonlightMiko2005: No, but my story will make you happy.
Inuyasha: Oi! What if it doesn't?
MoonlightMiko2005: Then you'll SUFFER!
Fire comes out of MM2005's hands and Inuyasha's ears go down and he hides behind a rock)
