4. A Tough Decision

Chapter 4 - A Tough Decision

Inuyasha stares at Kikyo unable to grasp the fact that she would do something like this. As Kikyo pulls the string on her bow back, Kagome raises her hand in a feudal attempt of protecting herself. Inuyasha starts running toward them to rescue Kagome, but when he is half way there a warmth begins to immerse into the cold wind, causing it to stop. Inuyasha sees Kagome start to glow. She now has a red aura of power around her that stands out against Kikyo's black one. For a moment Inuyasha is tempted to use the Wind Scar to see if it would work, but he fears that he would hurt both girls.

Kagome fires a blast of energy from her palms straight for Kikyo. Kikyo manages to maneuver around the beam and presses the arrow into Kagome's throat. Kagome yearns to call out to Inuyasha, but she fears that the smallest movement of her head will cause the arrow to pierce her throat.

"You must choose, Inuyasha!" screams Kikyo. "You can come with me into hell where we can finally be together, or would you rather stay here and protect this filthy mortal who is to weak to protect herself?"

Inuyasha is being forced to answer the question that has been plaguing him since Kikyo was risen from her ashes so long ago.

Whom do I choose? he wonders.

Then it dawns on him. "I'm not ready to die yet, Kikyo."

Kikyo is furious and presses the arrow more firmly against Kagome's throat. The pressure of the arrow allows it to pierce the skin and the smell of fresh blood alerts Inuyasha that Kagome is hurt.

Noticing this he yells out, "I must collect the jewel shards before I can be happy. Not to mention I must avenge your death by killing Naraku."

So he is not happy with me. thinks Kagome with tears beginning to form in her eyes.

Kikyo demands of Inuyasha, "Let this be a lesson to you Inuyasha. If you become too happy with this reincarnation of mine, I will kill her while you are forced to watch."

No. thinks Inuyasha This can't be the same Kikyo that I feel in love with once.

He watches helplessly as Kikyo vanishes into the night.
