Chapter 8

I can't believe Inuyasha was so mad. Maybe there is hope. Kagome slowly walked through the courtyard and back into the ballroom. She immediately spotted Sango and Miroku dancing. They look so good together. I wish Inuyasha were here. Well, the actual Inuyasha I remember now.

"Hello Kagome." Inuyasha's mother said. Kagome turned and saw that a man that looked like Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru was heading this way. She watched as he moved Inuyasha's mother to the dance floor and began to dance. I can't believe those are just spirits. They must be relieved to be together again with their sons and each other. Sesshoumaru had walked behind Kagome and tapped her shoulder.

"May I have this dance?" Sesshoumaru said softly.

Kagome realized she had no way out of the situation without sounding way to mean and there were many youkai in this room that could kill her. She nodded and Sesshoumaru took her hand and led her out to the middle of the ballroom. He took her arms and started to dance a small waltz looking dance. Inuyasha walked in from out in the garden and saw Sesshoumaru and Kagome. He began to look rather mad. He walked out into the crowd and cut in on his brother. Sesshoumaru's face turned very red but he took it like a man (Or big doggy!) and walked off throwing a glare in his direction.

"Inuyasha? Why did you do that?" Kagome said softly not looking into his face but at her feet.

"My brother killed your mother. I don't think it's very appropriate for him to just dance with you." Inuyasha said back with a slight bit of nervousness. Inuyasha turned his head over her shoulder and noticed something else. His eyes widened and he saw Kikyo walking in the door.

If she sees me she will get angry. I can't push Kagome away, or my brother will dance with her. I can't keep her here…Kikyo will see me. I can't do this. It's impossible to have both and I can't pick one or the other.

The dance ended and Kagome pulled away from him.

"I must go. I will be back later." Kagome said and ran out the door to the front. Kikyo walked up to Inuyasha and he had to decide whether to follow Kagome or dance with Kikyo. His choice was obvious when he sent an apologetic grin at Kikyo and quickly followed Kagome.

Stupid girl! Making me leave Kikyo like that! She knows she has to stay at the house just because my mom says it is important. Why is she running off like this?

Kagome ran and ran knowing Inuyasha's presence was coming closer. Just a bit farther and she would reach the well.

I made it! Kagome jumped into the well and fell to the bottom. Suddenly a bright light came from above and Kagome noticed some scrolls to the side of the well. She had not traveled through time. Inuyasha peered into the well seeing Kagome at the bottom.

What? I didn't make it. I can't see Inuyasha. No…no this can't happen! Kagome fainted as Inuyasha called to her.

Inuyasha slowly jumped to the bottom, careful not to step on the girl and picked her up slowly.

She looks like a princess with this dress on and her hair down like that. Kikyo looks so much like a priestess all the time. She never looks any different. Kagome looks different than anyone. I can see why Sesshoumaru is so intent on getting her. Inuyasha's face changed to a state of shock. Did I just say Kagome was better than Kikyo?? Maybe I am crazy… Inuyasha picked up the girl and looked into her face. No I'm not. He carried her out of the well and when he got back to the castle, he did not wake her but jumped onto her balcony and set her in the bed. He looked at her again before he left and slowly walked back.

I want to kiss her… Inuyasha leaned forward and quickly kissed her. He noticed that she smiled after he pulled back. He checked her over again and saw she was smiling in her sleep. For some reason, kissing her feels so much better than kissing Kikyo. I wonder… Inuyasha walked out of the room and slowly down the steps to the ballroom once more. There, Kikyo walked up to him angrily.

"If you want to be around her then fine!" Kikyo said and began to walk towards the door.

"NO KIKYO!" Inuyasha said and then turned around at a gasp behind him. He turned and saw Kagome looking at him in wide eyes. He hesitated.

"Choose Inuyasha." Kikyo said slowly but stubbornly. "Which one of us?"

Kagome turned and began to run back up the stairs and Kikyo turned and started for the door. Inuyasha stood between them.

No. I can't choose!

Author's POV: Oh I would kill myself if I was reading bad ending bad ending! Well R&R!

Inuyasha: But I CAN choose…it's easy!

Kikyo: WHO??

Kagome: I don't even have to ask! He's my BOYFRIEND GET OVER IT!

SHHH!!! I'm writing!
