"Kikyou…"
Kikyou turned around to face Inuyasha with an emotionless face.
"Inuyasha, as I expected."
"Kikyou, why are you here?" Inuyasha walked over to the clay miko.
"Inuyasha, I have a question for you." Kikyou stood up and walked over to face Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, at some point in your life you are going to have to chose." Inuyasha looked at Kikyou with a confused face.
"Chose what?" Kikyou laughed a bit.
"Inuyasha, I know you love me. But, you also love Kagome, is that not true?"
"Kikyou! How can you be serious. It is you and only you that I love! How could you ever think I would love someone else?" He pulled Kikyou in a tight embrace (A/N: I'm writing a Kikyo and Inuyasha love scene…the world has come to and end jumps off cliff
Kikyou pulled away from Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, look deep down inside yourself, you do love Kagome, I want you to have what you want. What will make you happy. I have been thinking, and I realized, you do not owe you're life to me, I want you to do whatever makes you happy. Love again, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha had frustration in his amber eyes.
"Kikyou, I love you, no matter what, and no matter what you say, I do owe my life to you."
Kikyou turned around and walked off into the clearing.
"Please think about this Inuyasha."
'He will need someone else to tell him that he does love Kagome other than me…' Kikyou thought.
She then disappeared.
Inuyasha just stood there.
"I'll think about it, for you Kikyou." He then walked off to return to the village. As he was walking back, a young girl was slumped behind a tree, holding back her tears so the keen nose of the hanyou would not smell them.
"Inuyasha, I knew you didn't love me. It is hopeless. I am just a shard detector. I give up on you."
Kagome then walked a separate path back to the village, with the look of depression in her chocolate brown eyes, crying the whole way.
A/N: I know, short, but the next chapter is long and explains a lot. Nintai in it!
