Chapter 7: Explanation

"KIKYOU! SHE'S REALLY HERE!" Kagome shouted out as soon as she saw her past life.

"I told you that I knew Kikyou was here." Inuyasha defensively stated as soon as he could. He didn't like to be thought of as a liar.

"Well, I believe you now. We don't need to argue." Kagome responded.

Kikyou moved to interrupt the two hoping she could finally speak. "I have given this a lot of thought. After Kagome saved me following the incident at Mt. Hakurei, I have come to a decision." She stated.

"Have you given up on Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.

"Miroku was right! She wants a three-way!" Inuyasha shouted out.

Before Kagome could open her mouth, Kikyou interjected. "I had even planned for your family to be gone for this long."

"How did you do that?" Kagome asked.

Kikyou remained silent. "One has interactions with one's family. One often dreams of the interactions with their family." She responded.

"Are you saying you cast some kind of spell on me that gave my family dreams when I was with them?" Kagome asked.

"You are very sharp." Kikyou complimented her reincarnation.

"You went to a lot of trouble. But why?" Inuyasha asked.

"I had thought that Kagome didn't need to be on the battlefield but I realize now how much her power is needed to defeat Naraku. Her power is small, but she has great potential. We need to work together in order to defeat Naraku and to put everything else behind us." Kikyou explained.

"And how do you suggest we do that? Given our history?" Inuyasha asked.

"Kagome is jealous of me. Yet despite it all, she still saved me without hesitation." Kikyou said.

"So... umm... what do we do?" Inuyasha asked.

"Inuyasha, this is the end for us." Kikyou said.
