Chapter 2

"I choose..."

In the Feudal Era Inuyasha was continually pacing back and forth by the well—the very well Kagome had been looking down in. Occasionally he would walk up to the well, look in it and strum his fingers along the lip of it.

"Inuyasha, stop fidgeting and hurry up and go get Kagome!" said Miroku, who was sitting on the ground a little farther off. Sango and Shippo were also seated by him.

"Shut up! I will NOT go get her! I don't care if I don't ever see her again!!" Inuyasha exclaimed, still standing by the well. Sango, Miroku and Shippo all raised a questioning eyebrow at him.

"Sure he doesn't care," whispered Sango into Miroku's ear. The monk let out a long exasperated sigh.

"Inuyasha has too much pride to admit he is the one at fault here," he said casually. Inuyasha glared daggers at him.

"MY fault!?" shouted Inuyasha arrogantly. Miroku just ignored him.

"Ugh, I'm going for a walk! And I'm NOT going to get Kagome." Inuyasha stormed off into the forest. He stomped past some trees and walked into a clearing where his favorite tree was. He walked over and sat down under it. He didn't say anything for a while and just looked up at the cloudless blue sky. After a while he stopped gazing up and looked at the ground instead.

"I wonder what you're doing now Kagome... I bet you're still mad at me." He had a calm expression on his face.

I guess it was a stupid argument, he thought to himself. He continued to sit under the tree for a while. All of a sudden an image of Kikyou appeared in his head.

"Kikyou..." he gasped. "Why am I thinking of her at a time like this?" Next to the image of the priestess, another appeared. This time it was Kagome.

"Ka—gome?"

"What do I do?" he asked himself.

"What do I feel?" This question kept running through his mind.

"Who should I choose? Kikyou......Kagome........I can't keep wavering between the two. It's time that I decide where my heart lies, or I can't move on." He sat for a long time contemplating.

"I choose..." he managed to say, at little louder this time.

"I choose K—" Before he could finish his sentence Shippo jumped out from behind him.

"INUYASHA YOU JERK!" Inuyasha literally jumped a foot into the air.

"Shippo!!! You little— Didn't I tell you to NEVER sneak upon me like that?!" Shippo ignored the comment.

"Inuyasha, why don't you go and get Kagome?!" By now Inuyasha was twitching with anger.

"Shippo..." he said as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He grabbed Shippo with much force and swung him far into the air.

"Ayieeeee!" the little fox demon wailed as he went spiraling about.

"Well that's that." Inuyasha said brushing his hands. He headed back through the forest to the well where he he'd left Sango and Miroku.
