"Ahh yes the two miko priesteses; Kikyo and Kagome Higurashi."
Kagome opened her eyes startled by the voice. She thought her heart was going to burst out of her chest, it was beating so fast. She looked to her right and, saw Kikyo next to her, the same look. That look that showed no emotion, no feeling at all.
They were surrounded by white, and there were no forms of life anywhere as far as Kagome could tell. She started to panic espically when she saw a figure moving towards them. Kagome squinted and, saw that the figure was clad in the traditional priestess clothes.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked out bravely, as the women stopped in front of Kikyo and Kagome. Kikyo laughed and, Kagome looked at her puzzled that the dead priestess would be laughing. Surely there was nothing funny of being stuck here.
"Are you truly that dim witted? Baka, and your a reincarnation of me?" She said laughing.
"Enough." The women ordered and, Kikyo stopped but continued to smile wickedly at Kagome.
"I am Midorkio and, I've been watching over you two. There is a problem that will have to be solved between you two and, Inuyasha. There can be only one that can own his heart. Only one. And he must decide between you two."
"Inuyasha..." Kagome whispered clenching the jewel dangling from her neck.
"Just remember reincarnation he loves me, no one else." Kikyo whispered menacingly.
"Inuyasha will have to decide who he truly loves. If he chooses you Kikyo you will be brought back to life. No longer will you walk among the dead. If he choose you Kagome, Kikyo will die and, be finally put to rest. But if he choosed Kikyo, Kagome you will be sent back to your time forever." Midorkio said.
"But what about the Jewel? DOESN'T IT MATTER THAT WERE TRYING TO STOP NARAKU?" Shouted Kagome angrily stepping closer to the women, ready to hit her. Her heart ached for Inuyasha... it always will... But she couldn't abandoned her friends; Sango... Miroku... Shippo... they all mattered to her. But yet she loved Inuyasha...
"He will choose." Midorkio whispered and, Kagome was once again thrown into darkness.
"I-Inu... who will you choose?" Kagome whispered into the darkness hoping the hanyou would hear her.
"Where the hell is that wench?" Inuyasha said as he paced inside Kaede's hut. Shippo was crying, worried that his "mother" was not coming back. Sango was trying to calm down the fox demon, and unsuccessful.
"Inuyasha, perhaps Lady Kagome returned back to her time?" Miroku suggested to the pacing Inuyasha.
"No, she would of told me fi-" He stopped in mid sentence and, stopped pacing.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Asked the monk noticing how tense Inuyasha had gotten.
"Kikyo." He whispered running out of the hut, leaving his bewildered friends behind in the hut.
Kikyo... I can smell blood? Wait why am I running after her? Kagome... I should be looking for her... Wait I smell her blood! Its in the opposite direction of Kikyo's...
He stopped dead in his tracks, coming to a sudden halt in the middle of the dense forest. The exact forest where Kikyo had pinned him to the tree fifty years ago and, where he first met Kagome. Rain clouds were starting to form, a nasty thunderstorm most likely to start.
But he didn't care... Inuyasha was stuck... he had to decide who to go to... and little did he know how his decision would effect Kagome and Kikyo.
Kagome...
Kikyo...
