Chapter Two

The Choice

"What was that?" Inuyasha yelled, running out of the hut. As he stood at the door, his black hair waved in the wind.

A young woman walked into the clearing, but she was looking at Kagome angrily. "Good job priestess," she said. "You were luring Naraku close to you. It was a good thing I was coming to talk to Inuyasha. Naraku would have slaughtered you."

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Inuyasha asked, looking into her eyes closely, suspicious of this woman.

"An offer," she replied, finally getting to the hut. "But you can only be here, nobody else can hear or else the offer is off the table."

All four nodded. "Hey Shippou," Miroku yelled into the hut, "You need to come out."

"Okay," a voice yelled back from the hut and a small fox demon ran out of the hut.

Inuyasha walked back into the hut followed by the young woman.

Inside the Hut:

"You have the chance to become a full-fledged demon," the woman told Inuyasha. "But you also have the chance to stay human forever. Each comes with a cost, to become a demon you will have to kill Kagome and to stay a human you will have to kill Kikyo."

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.

"You have to pick, because if you don't then everyone you care for will die come sun up, and you will stay a human until you die," the woman explained to him.

"I don't believe that this is an offer," Inuyasha said. "Why should I have to choose, it wasn't my idea."

Well you see it was. A voice said in Inuyasha's head. The Sacred Jewel can no longer let you become a full demon; you are too pure of heart now. But you have been thinking a lot about Kagome and being with her forever. But you see you can't do this unless you are willing to go to her era, as a human.

Author's Note: Yes I know another short chapter, but it is leading up to the next one. Suspense is the key to success. Well anyways, I am happy to say that I have the next chapter already thought up, so I can start writing it. Oh and I have some people I want to thank…

ooLoversHavenoo- Wow, it was descriptive… YAY! I worked hard on chapter 1, but I don't quite remember much about chapter 2 because it got locked away in the memory of my mom's laptop, which was gone for a while and I forgot about it so even when I was using it I didn't remember. Well I hope you like it.

Princess Fey- Well I'm sorry I didn't let you know the title… but after this chapter it is pretty obvious about his choice. But maybe not… you'll just have to wait and see. Oh and he couldn't smell Naraku, he is in his human form.
