Disclaimer: I don't own the Inuyasha characters already! I mean, come on, that should a little obvious by now!

A/N: Once again thanx to Monkeystarz for being my only reviewer (and for reviewing again!)
Oh, yeah, and sorry if the dialog between Inuyasha and Kikyo gets cheesy, I haven't written anything like that scene before. ^^

 A million different things recede through the hanyou's mind as he stared in utter shock at the raven-haired girl embracing him. She loves me?!' he thought, still unable to move, She loves me! And I just acted like a complete jackass toward her? What am I supposed to say?

Inuyasha, I love you and I want to stay here in your arms forever! Can't time just go away and leave us here? Kagome's voice was slightly muffled, being that her face was buried in Inuyasha's chest.

Slowly, Inuyasha put his arms around her and held her. He had finally gotten over the shock that Kagome had confessed her love to him. he started,
Suddenly something caught Inuyasha's eye. He glanced up and met the gaze of Kikyo.

So, Inuyasha, Kikyo's voice and face were stony and sullen, You finally have the jewel complete and Naraku destroyed, and I come to get you and find this?!

Kagome squeaked. Ever since that one fateful day when Kikyo had stolen her jewel shards and almost killed her, Kagome had feared the original owner of her soul. Or was it? Barely any of their original soul remained in Kikyo, being that Kagome had regained the majority of it. Kikyo's current existence fed off of stolen dead souls and the corrupted fragment of her own original soul. The combination had created a new should, and personality, hardly resembling any of the original. The only similarity was Kikyo's memories.

With the wave of one hand, Kikyo summoned her soul-stealing demon servants, commanding them to temporarily bind Kagome to a nearby tree. Kikyo began, I saved your life on any number of occasions, and this is how you repay my love? By Making off with some soul-stealing slut?

cried Kagome, practically drenching herself in tears, Don't listen, please! Please say you love me more! Inuyasha!

Inuyasha, however should neither see nor hear Kagome, What have you done wit her!? Inuyasha was in an outrage, You aren't the Kikyo I loved! It just took me that long to realize it! How dare you toy with my emotions! Reveal yourself! Who are your really?!

Kikyo smiled, I am still Kikyo, I was created from my own ashes and clay. What should that wench hasn't stolen from me still resides with me.

Kagome would never steal anything from anyone! roared Inuyasha, How can you accuse her of such? That soul rightfully belongs to her now!

Since when does something stolen rightfully belong to the thief/ Kikyo hissed.

Kagome is not a thief! Kikyo died and her soul was reincarnated in to Kagome, It's new rightful owner!

My WHAT?! Kikyo's eyes flashed, This incompetent wench doesn't deserve to be my reincarnation!

That's because she's not! You aren't the same Kikyo as 50 years ago! The stolen souls have corrupted you!

Inuyasha! Don't you love me anymore? Even the wench knows you and I were meant for each other! That night, when Naraku had set up the illusionary death spell, when it finally got to Kagome, do you know what she saw? Did she ever tell you?

spat Inuyasha.

She saw you and I in love. Not herself but me!

See what you've done to your own soul! You have tortured it and won't let it move on!'

I think we need to get rid of the distraction, replied Kikyo. Only she could hear Kagome's incessant tears throughout the entire argument. With a glance toward the tree the demons' grips loosened and Kagome reappeared, weakened from all her tears.

Inuyasha started to run towards her, and felt an arrow whiz by just as he reached her.

Kikyo commanded Inuyasha. Thanks to him, Kikyo had jerked her aim away mission them both.

Never! You can only kill Kagome over my dead body! shouted Inuyasha as he drew the Tetsuiga from its sheath.

You wouldn't really fight me would you Inuyasha? Kikyos expression softened.

I, uh, I, Inuyasha stood dumbstruck Once she isn't acting like she's going to kill Kagome, I can't bring myself to kill her, he thought.

Suddenly, Kirara leapt into the clearing. This is where I take my leave, Kikyo stated calmly, I just have one thing to say to you, Inuyasha. If that girl really loves you, then she will give you the Shikon jewel and let you what you will with it. And with that Kikyo and her demon servants ascended and disappeared into the night sky.

A/N: Pre-warning: the next chapter is probably going to be short b/c I'm not sure what Inuyasha's going to do (kill Kikyo of betray Kagomewhat a decision!) oh, and by the way, please REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!!!
