Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, I'm just yet another fanficie writer who writes stories for people that need an Inuyasha fix.

A/N: Hello peoples! I hope you didn't think I disappeared out of existence or some thing, but my brain/imagination started working again! (Unfortunately for me, only for this story not my homework sigh… So on with the story!

"So Inuyasha, how does it feel to finally have to choose between Kikyo and her reincarnation? Ku ku ku ku ku…" cackled Naraku as he watched Kana's mirror closely. He stared closely at Inuyasha, who stood there paralysed with shock. "Who is it going to be Inuyasha?"

"Naraku, are you sure that this is necessary?" demanded Kagura, from a dark corner. "I mean, you could just take the shards from Inuyasha if you wanted too…"

"I want Inuyasha to suffer…they all shall suffer! Ku ku ku ku ku!" Naraku cackled; almost sounding insane at this point.

Kagura just shook her head. He was SO weird.

---------

Inuyasha stood still, staring at the scene in front of him.

The girl that had an arrow pointed at Kagome was not Kikyo. Fifty years ago she was not like this, so icy and…cruel.

So you finally start listening to me, eh baka?

All Inuyasha did was growl venomously in his head back at his conscience.

But whom do I choose? This is so confusing…

It's not really Dimwit, just think of the good things and bad thing of each girl.

Ok…bad thing about Kikyo…well she's not exactly living… and she wants drag me to hell… I still want to live though.

'Not exactly living'? Open your eyes baka, SHE'S DEAD!

I guess… Bad things about Kagome…Uh…the only one I can think of is that she always goes on Shippo's side.

And that's a bad thing how? You are always beating the crap out of him anyways.

Oh ok, that's not a bad thing… but wait, she always 'sits' me!

Only because you won't let her go back to her era.

Ok, maybe Kagome doesn't have any bad things that I can think of…yet…

No duh!

Let's see, good things about Kikyo…Uh… Err…

Can't think of any can you?

Inuyasha could practically see his conscience's smirk.

Can too! She…umm…well, maybe I can't, but I know she does, I just can't think of any…

Right…so good things 'bout Kagome.

Where to start…she's almost always nice to me. She like's me even though I'm a half-demon-

Unlike Kikyo! She wanted you to use the jewel to change into a human!

Err, Yeah…

Any thing else you can think of?

Yes… she always looks out for me, and she actually cares about my feelings…and she even smells nice…

Inuyasha looked up at the scene in front of him; Kikyo was closer to Kagome now and Kagome was sitting on the ground, looking even more scared, but still determined to protect the shards, and her soul. Inuyasha looked up at Kikyo; she looked slightly annoyed, but icy as ever.

I've been such an idiot! How many times have I broken Kagome's heart and she still came back? How many times has she looked after me when I was hurt? How many times has Kikyo tried to hurt her emotionally or physically and I did NOTHING? I am such an IDIOT!

FINALLY! He's seen the light! Now if I were you (which technically I am) I would look up and save Kagome before Kikyo turns her into mincemeat!

What's mincemeat?

It doesn't matter now! Just GO!

Kagome was shaking now, was this really the end? Kikyo was about to let go of an arrow… and kill her.

I don't WANT to die!

Kikyo let go of the arrow.

"Inuyasha!" screamed Kagome; the arrow was about to hit her…

---------

It happened in slow motion for Inuyasha; looking up, Kagome screamed his name; He grabbed her and flung both of them out of harm's way.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, with wide eyes. "You saved me!"

Inuyasha smirked. "I guess I did."

Kagome smiled weakly back at him. "Thank you!" Kagome hugged him, then immediately realised what she was doing and let go of him with a bright red face.

Kikyo glared at Kagome.

The nerve of that girl! Inuyasha's MINE! She should never have traveled back from her time!

"Kagome, I'll say it again. Go home! You don't belong here!"

Kikyo pointed a second arrow at Kagome, who was now standing up, away from Inuyasha.

"Now be a good girl and give me your soul, the shards and GO HOME!"
