All For One…
Chapter 2
Inuyasha had spent many sleepless nights considering his options. On one hand Kikyo had been is first love but she only loved him out of loneliness, Kagome loved him for who he was and didn't try to change him but she was form a different world, with her family on the other side. Kikyo had stood by him when no one else would but so had Kagome. But when he ignored the past and thought about what was happening then and there he realized something. Kikyo wanted him dead and with her. Kagome wanted him alive but with whomever made him happy, no matter how much she hurt. Kikyo wanted him dead and take everything from him just for her. Kagome wanted him alive and give everything up just for him. And so, he had made his choice.
He reached the god tree, where it all started...and ended.
Kagome stepped out of Kaede's cozy little hut. She was greeted with the warm rays of the brilliant sun above her and the wonderful sound of the village children playing around her. The day just seemed...perfect. She wandered the streets looking for her friends. Finally she saw Sango sitting on top of a hill over looking the village. She appeared to be in deep thought.
"Hey Sango!" Kagome called out to her friend. Sango looked around for the source of the voice, when she finally spotted Kagome she waved at her. Kagome took the invitation and ran up the steep hill, plopping down next to her.
"Good morning Kagome, sleep well?" Sango asked.
"Yes very much so. What are ya doin up here?"
"Thinking."
"That's always good. Where are the others?"
"Miroku is out in the meadow meditating and Shippo and Kaede are collecting herbs."
"Inuyasha?"
"He went to the God tree saying he had some unfinished business to deal with."
"Oh. Okay."
"You're ok with that?"
"Yea. I mean it's not like I have a say but it's his choice."
Kikyo glared at Inuyasha in disbelief. This couldn't be happening, she wouldn't believe it.
"You would rather have her?" She spat out.
"Yes." He stared straight into her eyes. "You shouldn't be here. Go back to where you belong."
Kikyo's evil metabolic laugh rang though the trees.
"You forget Inuyasha, you don't belong here either. You and I were meant to die together and be together forever."
"Then why am I still alive?"
"Not for long." Like a flash Kikyo strung her bow and let the arrow fly. If her heart was pierced, so would his.
Kagome and the gang sat around the fire in Kaede's hut sipping their stew in silence. The only sound was the crackling flames. The sun was setting and still no sign of Inuyasha. Kagome had hoped to spend her perfect day with him but he obviously had other plans. She wasn't angry just sad.
"Excuse me." She set down her bowl and left the hut.
"Where's she going?" Shippo asked.
"To find Inu Yasha." Miroku said with out looking up from his plate. After all this wasn't unusual.
Kagome walked off over the hill and into the forest named after the one she searched for. She came upon the clearing where she first met him, Inuyasha. He was nowhere to be seen. She thought about heading back when she caught a glimpse of red haori and silver hair poking out on the other side at the base of the tree.
"Inu Yasha?" No answer. She walked over and went behind the tree. He was there, no question, the question was, was he alive?
