Only Room For One

Kagome was just getting back from her time. She climbed out of the well like she usual does. "Hey Inuyasha I'm back!" she said with a smile. But he wasn't there. She thought that was strange he was always there waiting for her to get back. She looked around and saw that it was only Shippo, Miroku and Sango waiting for her. "Hey where's Inuyasha I brought him ramen." She said eager to see Inuyasha again.

"He went for a walk." Shippo said. "But we don't know why."

"Yeah he said that he had a lot on his mind… he was thinking about something." Sango told her.

"But he went in that direction." Miroku said pointing towards the east. Kagome looked at them in a little worry. That's so not like him…

"Well I'll be back you guys. I'm going to find out what's bugging Inuyasha." Kagome said with a smile and took off in the east on her bike. I wonder what could be troubling Inuyasha. She then heard Inuyasha's voice. She stopped on her bike and slowly walk towards his voice but then with his she heard another woman… Kikyo. She hid behind a tree listening to what they were saying.

"Inuyasha, if you truly loved me then you would be prepared to go to hell with me." Kikyo said with coldness in her voice.

"Kikyo, I…I know I should go to hell with you but…"

"But what Inuyasha? I died because of you. The least you could do was burn with me Inuyasha."

"I know…. I know I have a deed to repay you Kikyo."

"Inuyasha… do you not care for me because I am a corpse and steal the souls of women?" Kikyo asked sounding hurt. Inuyasha looked at her shocked that she would say that. He took her by the hand and embraced her. He thought that if he had let go at that very second then she would disappear forever.

"Kikyo, I never stop thinking about you, not for a single second. My mind is always on you day and night." Inuyasha confessed to her. Kagome felt so hurt that he said that to Kikyo. She tried to hold back the tears.

"My heart hurts everyday by not being with you." she said looking in his eyes. "I long to see you every day Inuyasha." She feels the same way. Kagome thought to herself as she let the tears fall. It's like they're meant to be together…they love each other and I can't possibly break that bond they share. Kagome's heart just broke in two. They long for each other every day… and me being here is just getting in the way of their relationship.

"Kikyo, I…"Inuyasha then smelled salty tears. He turned around to see Kagome trying to hide from them behind a tree. He quickly let go of Kikyo.

"K-Kagome…" he said. Kagome knew it was no use so she gave herself always and walked in front of the tree. Still crying in front of them. She didn't care anymore if they saw her cry. It was like this wasn't real, like her whole body was numb. Her throat suddenly felt dry like someone made her eat some sand. Inuyasha saw the tears in her eyes. He hated doing this to her, he hated making her cry. He felt so washed over with guilt that he didn't know what to say. "Kagome I…" Inuyasha started to said before Kikyo cut him off.

"Inuyasha, Do you desire the love of this girl? Do you want to be with her more then you want to be with me?" her voice sounded emotionless and her eyes were cold but Inuyasha could tell she was hurt.

"Kikyo… I…" Inuyasha hesitated looking at the two women he hurt. He looked on one side and there was the woman Kagome, the one who has been by his side ever since they met and he looked on the other side and saw the woman who had suffered so greatly because of him.

"Inuyasha please give me an answer." Kikyo said looking at him grimly.

I'm breaking them up… I'm making their lives miserable by even being in this time. Kagome thought as she still let the tears go down her cheeks.

"Kikyo…"

"Inuyasha I know you choose her…" Kagome said as she put on a fake smile. "So lets stop fooling ourselves ok."

"But…Kagome…" Inuyasha said sounding guilty.

"You even said it…" Kagome said looking at Kikyo "You think about her every day and you never stop. You need her in your life Inuyasha… There's obviously no room for me in your heart…it's only her." She then looked down sadly. "I know I don't belong here… with you. And I know me staying here will only confuse you. I'm ruining your relationship with her. Besides you already chosen. I can see it in your eyes…" Kagome said as she looked up at him. "But always know this Inuyasha… I've always loved you and I still do even though you picked her…" she said as she turned away from them. The last sentence she said had shocked Inuyasha in face everything she said had shocked him. He didn't want her to go but he knew he had to repay Kikyo for the damage he had caused her.

"K-Kagome…I…"

"I hope you have a wonderful life with Kikyo, Inuyasha." Kagome said running off into the woods.

"Kagome please come back!" Inuyasha yelled after her but she didn't come back. Not this time. Inuyasha suddenly felt sadness and guilt overwhelm his heart.

"Inuyasha…you do love that girl…don't you?" Kikyo asked hoping it was going to be a yes. Inuyasha felt so confused right now. I…I don't know Kikyo. She always has been by my side. Ever since we laid eyes on each other. And even though how much I hurt her she stills comes back every time and she always forgives me. And all I do is just give her a hard time… I make her worry about me every day. But what Kagome said was also true… "I always think about you Kikyo. I'm going to repay you… but I can't live in hell with you Kikyo I'm sorry I'll stay by your side as long as I live if that's your wish but I can't burn in hell…I…have to live."

"That's not an answer Inuyasha…." Kikyo said as she turned away from him. "I know you must be confused Inuyasha…"

"………"

"So I shall give you two days to make up your mind. Until then Inuyasha." She said coldly as she walked deeper into the forest with her soul collectors. I have to go see if Kagome is all right… Inuyasha thought as he started running towards her scent.
