Sakura: Hi there it's Sakura with a new one-shot.

Kaly: Am I in this one-shot?

Sakura: I'm afraid not Kaly-chan. Now let's start the one-shot.

Decisions

Kagome's Decision

The group stopped for the night in a forest when they saw Kikyo's soul collectors. Inuyasha immediately got up and ran after them without a word. 'There he goes again,' Kagome thought sadly. 'He really does love her more than me,' Kagome walked into the forest in order to think.

"Poor Kagome," Sango remarked, "Inuyasha always runs to Kikyo when she is nearby and never thinks of how it's hurting Kagome."

"I wonder if Kagome will leave forever when the Sacred Jewel is complete," said Shippo tears coming into his eyes.

"All we can do is wait and see," Miroku said as he sat down besides Sango.

"Henti!!!" Sango screamed as she slapped Miroku.

With Kagome

Kagome walked along a path and soon came across a clearing. Inuyasha was in the center of the clearing hugging Kikyo. 'Inuyasha would be so much happier if Kikyo was still alive. I'm nothing compared to her,' Kagome thought tears streaming down her face. When Inuyasha and Kikyo kissed, Kagome couldn't take it anymore and ran away tears streaming down her face faster than before.

Kagome ran until she found herself at a cliff. 'If Inuyasha would be happier with Kikyo then there is only one thing I can do now,' Kagome thought. She returned to the group and waited for Inuyasha to return.

Inuyasha returned to the group hours later, he jumped into a tree and went to sleep. Kagome watched Inuyasha for a minute to make sure he was really asleep before getting up and placing the letter she wrote earlier on her backpack then, with one last look at the group, she walked into the forest. Kagome walked back to the clearing where she saw Inuyasha and Kikyo at earlier. "Kikyo," Kagome called.

"What do you want?" came a cold emotionless voice form behind her. Kagome turned around and saw Kikyo standing there.

"I want to give you your soul back," Kagome said starting to rethink her decision.

"And why would you want to do that?" Kikyo asked smirking to herself.

"It would make Inuyasha happy and his happiness is more important than my own happiness and my life," Kagome said her courage coming back to her as she remembered her reasons for doing this.

"You do understand that if I were to regain my soul you would become what I am now," Kikyo said amused.

"Why would I become like you? I thought I would turn into a lifeless shell or just die," Kagome asked confused.

"You would become like this because I have part of the soul so we would switch places so to speak," Kikyo said. "Knowing this do you still want to give up your soul?"

"Yes," Kagome replied. 'If it makes Inuyasha happy then I will do anything,' Kagome thought to herself.

With Inuyasha
Inuyasha woke up when Kagome was writing her letter. 'What is Kagome doing,' Inuyasha thought as he watched Kagome exit the camp site. He jumped down and took up the letter and started reading it. It said:

To Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara,

Thank you all for being such good friends to me on this journey. Sango you were by best friend and like a sister to me, thank you for everything you have done for me. Miroku you were my big brother, you may be perverted but please don't change. Shippo you were like my son and I will always love you so never forget me, there is some candy for you in my backpack. Kirara, you are so adorable, please watch over Sango and Shippo for me please. Inuyasha, now that I'm gone I can tell you what I always wanted to say, I love you and I always have. Don't try looking for me by the time you read this letter I will be gone. Kikyo can take up my place as the Jewel detector. I will miss you all very much. I only ask that you won't forget me.

Ja ne,

Kagome

Inuyasha had to read the letter again in order to make sense of what was written there. 'What does Kagome mean that she will be gone? Is Kagome going home for good,' Inuyasha thought, he looked around and saw all of Kagome's things like her sleeping bag and text books. 'Kagome wouldn't leave her things here if she went home for good.' Suddenly Inuyasha felt a pain go through his heart. 'Kagome's in trouble,' Inuyasha thought as he ran after Kagome's scent.

Kagome--------------------------

"Is that your final decision," Kikyo asked.

""Yes," Kagome replied kneeling down in front of Kikyo. Kikyo started to call back her soul from Kagome. Kagome was lifted up into the air and started glowing as her soul started to go into Kikyo. Kagome was starting to feel tired as Inuyasha burst into the clearing.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled shocked as he saw parts of Kagome's soul fly into Kikyo.

"Inuyasha?" Kagome asked weakly.

"Kagome, why are you doing this?" Inuyasha asked.

"Because you love Kikyo and it would make you happy, Inuyasha," Kagome said getting weaker by the minute and finding it hard to concentrate.

"Inuyasha soon we will be together again," said Kikyo. Inuyasha looked at Kikyo and thought, 'Do I really want Kikyo? What about Kagome?'

"Inuyasha I love you. That's why I want you to be happy," Kagome said as she slowly floated to the ground.

'Kagome loves me as a Hanyou, Kikyo wanted me as a human. Kikyo never really loved me,' Inuyasha realized. "Kagome I love you, too," Inuyasha said as he went over and hugged her. "Kikyo please stop. Give Kagome her soul back."

"It's too late for that," Kikyo said sadly. A bright flash of light surrounded Kagome and Kikyo, when the light subsided Kagome and Kikyo where in the same positions only Kagome was cold to the touch and had no heartbeat and Kikyo did.

"K-ka-kagome," Inuyasha stuttered looking down at her. Kagome didn't move, she lay still. Inuyasha looked for a heartbeat but found none. Inuyasha hung his head down and let a single tear fall. Kikyo looked up at Inuyasha and saw his pain and felt horrible.

'What have I done?' Kikyo thought horrified as she looked at Inuyasha's obvious pain. "Inuyasha?" she called out to him softly. Inuyasha's head snapped up but when he saw who it was who called him he growled at her.

"What do you want?" Inuyasha growled out at her. "You have taken the life of the one I love."

"I'm sorry. We should bury her," Kikyo said looked down at the ground, ashamed of what she has done. Inuyasha jumped to his feet and carried Kagome to the God Tree, where they first met, and set her down on his lap once he was situated on the branch he usually sits in and told Kagome, "I'll bring you back, I promise." Then Inuyasha broke off into tears.
