"Kagome, you're back already! So what happened this... what's wrong?" Kagome's best friend, Sango, ran toward her with a smile, then slowed down when she saw the glum look on Kagome's face. "Would you like to go somewhere private to talk?" Kagome nodded wordlessly and walked into the woods.

Kagome muttered softly, "I told Kouga that he wasn't the one for me." Sango gasped a little. "He looked so sad and rejected, but what else could I have told him?"

"Don't worry, he'll get over it, and hopefully he'll get over you." Sango patted Kagome's back comfortingly. "So how did Inuyasha react?"

************************

"You don't know how relieved I was when she said that," Inuyasha sighed, leaning tiredly against "his" tree, facing Miroku. He had been having such "man-to-man" talks with the monk for quite a while, and had gotten used to spilling his woes to his first real friend. He had confessed already that he had feelings for both Kagome and Kikyo, Kagome's preincarnation (AN: um, is that a word?), and didn't know who to choose. And he would be forced to make a decision in just a few days.

Flashback

Naraku was dead, slain by the combined force of Kagome and Kikyo's arrows, his remains swept away. The Shikon jewel had mysteriously disappeared.

Sango knelt at the dead Kirara's side, her brother's head resting in her lap as he struggled to breathe. Miroku stood beside her, gently supporting her and allowing Shippo to lean against him. Kagome gazed after Inuyasha, walking into a secluded area with Kikyo, tears sparkling in her eyes.

Kikyo said in her cold voice, "Have you decided yet, Inuyasha? I grow impatient with this indecisiveness."

He sighed and replied, "Kikyo, you are very important to me, but so is Kagome. Just give me more time. Please."

"One week. Then you must choose." Kikyo turned and disappeared into the shadows of the coming evening.

End Flashback

"She's coming in three days, monk. Who should I choose?"

Miroku sighed. "That is a choice that only you can make. What matters to you? Going to hell with Kikyo, or staying with Kagome? Is there a reason why are you considering going to hell other than love? Guilt, perhaps? And the same for staying. Why do you want to stay? Ask yourself who you hold most dear, and that will help you decide. Remember," he said wistfully, glancing at the girls as they returned to the hut, "Love isn't always the clear-cut thing the legends make it out to be." At that, he walked toward the hut where Kohaku and Shippo were resting, leaving Inuyasha some time alone.

"Who I hold most dear," Inuyasha said quietly. He sighed and rested his head on his hands, feeling a headache coming on, the type that always reared its ugly head when he thought about the two mikos. 'So similar in appearance, but wild opposites in character. Kikyo was always so serious, adult, and insecure in some ways. Kagome is so bouncy and lively, but so immature. One is calm, one is emotional. One is passive, one is fierce. Like the sun and moon. So which to choose?'

He groaned. No matter how he approached it, he always came to the same question. Which one? 'Damn it, why'd I have to get mixed up in this, anyway?'
