Me: Well, this is my first fanfic. I hope you enjoy.

Inuyasha: And what am I doing here?

Me: You're my muse!

Kagome: Just play along, Inuyasha or she might make us do horrible things.

Me: I wouldn't do that….*looks around evily*

Inuyasha: Whatever. So this girl doesn't own anything or anyone. Enjoy the show.

Inuyasha and Kagome walked side by side. They were close now. She was going to go back home for a few days to study and Inuyasha wasn't actually putting up that much of a fight. Miroku and Sango had some injuries from defeating some minor demons, so he could be worried about them, maybe? They were at Kaede's hut right now, patching up their wounds.

"So how long is this going to be?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome willfully. "Three days," she answered. "Then I'll be back and we can continue the search for the sacred jewel shards." "Whatever," was all he could respond. He hated leaving her. It was written all over his face. But he knew it was final when she told him of her plans. He, maturely for once, chose not to fight over it, choosing to earn a beautiful smile from her instead.

"Ah, we're here," Kagome said with a smile. They were at the well. Kagome turned to him with a smile. "Hey, it's not as if I don't miss you too while you're gone," she said frankly. He blushed. "I-It's not like that. I just hate leaving you to your own devices." She smiled knowingly and went up to the well.

Just then, a bright light shot out. Inuyasha pulled Kagome to safety just in the nick of time as the arrow just barely missed Kagome. A bow string strummed. "K-Kikyo?" Inuyasha stepped forward after setting Kagome on her feet. He raged inside, with a string of remorse followed behind it. "Did you try to kill Kagome?"

She just smiled. "Inuyasha. Is it not nice to see me? Is that what you want to say?" Inuyasha didn't say anything. He just looked at Kagome, torn between the two women in front of him. One he truly loved, for she accepted him the way he was, the he wasn't about to just go out and say it. The other he felt pain and remorse for her having dyed because of him. He once loved her and maybe he did still. But not in the same way. Not in the same way as he did with Kagome.

Kikyo picked up another arrow from her quiver. "Inuyasha," she said, seeing his eyes widen. "Does this make you said? Does this hurt you?" Her arrow appeared to be aimed right at Kagome's heart. Inuyasha went to move in front of Kagome.

"Move, and I will shoot her right now," Kikyo said, matter-of-factly. Inuyasha gulped. He wasn't close enough to her to stop it, he knew. He had moved away when he saw Kikyo. But if he saw her shoot, he knew he would have to try to stop it.

And that is exactly what he saw. She shot. But not particularly aimed at them. It was if she had given up. She shot her arrow and fixed to walk away when it had occurred to her what she had shot.

She turned around just as she saw the Bone Eater's well light up. Inuyasha and Kagome saw it too.

Inuyasha picked Kagome up and tried to run but he was caught up in the blast.

A pillar of light had emerged from the Bone Eater's well as Kikyo had struck it on its side. The light was blue and awesome to look at. But the light ran towards Kagome and Inuyasha like a demon, enveloping them in a shining blue hue. Then, with a puff of smoke they were gone.

Kikyo shielded her eyes as they disappeared from sight. She looked at her arrow in the well as the light disappeared. She grabbed it and left, silently thinking about Inuyasha and Kagome, and how long until she discovered them again.

Inuyasha woke up first. He was by the well. 'So, it had been just an illusion,' he thought. He thought himself feel his entire body disintegrate when the well wrapped him in that light. But no. But where was Kagome?

She was beside him, still sleeping. He gently roused her. "Kagome. Kagome?" She woke up with a grunt. "Ow, my head," she said, grabbing her head in pain. He felt her head and found a nasty lump. 'So, we must've been thrown back by the blast.'

He looked at her. "Are you alright, Kagome?" She looked at him and nodded. He got up and held out his hand. "Let's go back to the village and have that bump looked at. Plus we should tell Miroku and Sango about what just happened."

She nodded and took his hand. They walked hand in hand for a little while until they came to the sacred tree where both of them let out an audible gasp. On the tree was none other than Inuyasha, as he lay bound to the tree by Kikyo's arrow.

Me: Clffhanger! But I'll update soon!

Inuyasha: So, wait. There are two of me?

Me: For now, at least.

Kagome: This is going to be a confusing story, isn't it?

Me: It'll all work out (I hope.)
