Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha. Don't sue!
Chapter One
Kagome stood behind the tree, shocked at what she was seeing. Inuyasha was hugging Kikyo. She knew deep in her heart that Inuyasha still had feelings for Kikyo, but Kagome was hoping that Inuyasha would choose to love her instead. Kikyo just wanted Inuyasha to die with her! Kagome wanted Inuyasha to stay alive, to stay with her! "Inuyasha has already made his choice," she thought sadly. Kagome was staring at the ground now, trying to hold back her tears. When she looked up, she realized that Kikyo was gone, and Inuyasha was standing right next to her. "Kagome," he said quietly, in a strange-sounding voice. She quickly realized that he was trying to tell her something, but she wasn't ready to hear it. She turned and ran back towards the well, which she jumped into without looking back.
"Crap," Inuyasha thought. "Kagome must have thought that I was telling Kikyo I loved her!" Actually, that couldn't have been further from the truth. Inuyasha thought that he loved Kikyo, but that was until he got to know Kagome. Although he couldn't admit it to anyone (he could barely admit it to himself), Inuyasha loved Kagome. It was a love that was unlike anything he ever felt for Kikyo. Inuyasha trusted Kagome, and he knew that she would trust him no matter what they went through. He was a half-demon, and Kagome was a human girl from a very different era. She had no reason to trust him or give a crap about him at all, but she did. Inuyasha would give his life to protect Kagome, and he was beginning to care less and less about the sacred Shikon Jewel that he used to be so obsessed with. "This must be love," he thought.
Inuyasha had seen Kikyo's soul collectors floating close by, and he figured that he needed to tell her about his feelings right then. He met up with her, and here is how the conversation went:
Inuyasha: "Kikyo, we need to talk."
Kikyo: "What do you want, Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha: "I'm sorry, Kikyo, but I can't die with you. I am in love with someone else now, and I need to stay alive for her."
Kikyo: "It's that girl you travel with now, isn't it?"
Inuyasha: "Yes. Her name is Kagome."
Kikyo: "This Kagome is nothing but a re-incarnation of me! Wouldn't you rather have the original?"
Inuyasha: "I didn't fall in love with her because of that. I fell in love with Kagome because of her personality and her compassion. I trust her more than I will ever trust anyone.
Kikyo: "In a way, I can understand what you are saying. As much as I want you to follow me into the after-life, I guess that I want to see you happy as well. You won't see me again, Inuyasha. At least give me a proper goodbye.
Inuyasha: "I..I..will."
That's when Inuyasha embraced Kikyo. He was telling her goodbye, but Kagome didn't realize that. Inuyasha tried to explain the situation, but Kagome ran off before he had the chance. "What am I going to do?" he thought.
