Summary: What if Kagome could go back in time? Stop Kikyo from being reborn, stop everything from happening? Would she unbind Inuyasha from the tree and trust him with her life? Especially when she can only have her wish granted because she died at his hands?

A/n: Sango and Miroku magically disappeared. Kidding. Sango and Miroku are off somewhere else searching for Naraku, because they decided splitting up and meeting back would be a good decision and help them find Naraku easier. Shippo and Kilala are with Miroku and Sango.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha

Previously: Kagome watched as a light came shining through the pouch. She then watched as Inuyasha reopened it and saw a tainted Shikon No Tama.

She reached her hand towards the jewel within the pouch and grabbed it.

Inuyasha saw a hand that looked like Kagome's appear in his view and grasp the jewel. He looked to his left; a transparent Kagome was kneeling next to him and staring determinedly at the jewel. She was purifying it, just like Kikyo.

"Kagome…" he said, looking at her. She looked up and her eyes widened in surprise. Inuyasha's dog ears twitched and he looked away. "I'm sorry Kagome." She saw her smile, somewhere between a sad smile and a real one.

"It's OK" she said softly, like she was only telling him that to make him feel better.

The jewel was glowing a bright pink as Kagome pulled it out of the bag.

A woman's voice emitted from the jewel…

It instantly hit Inuyasha who the voice belonged to… but he had not been expecting it.

Kikyo's voice was emitting from the sacred jewel. But Kikyo was speaking to Kagome, not Inuyasha.

"Kagome… you have died… but you have also purified the sacred Shikon No Tama…You spirit was allowed to stay here on earth for this soul purpose… you have a choice Kagome."

Kagome gave the Shikon No Tama a strange look. What was Kikyo talking about? Had she known this was going to happen? What did Kikyo mean "a choice"?

"You can choose cross over into Heaven, like I chose to… or you can live again and restart your life from the moment you went to the Bone-Eaters Well… and you can choose, to go through the well and meet Inuyasha again, or to continue life as you would have."

Kagome's eyes widened. She could live again! But, she would end up back in time, and she would have to rebuild her relationship with Inuyasha. Would Inuyasha remember?

As though reading her mind Kikyo spoke again.

"Oh course, since you are the only one actually traveling back, you will be the only one to remember. You must rebuild all relationships, with my sister, with Inuyasha, and with everyone else."

Kagome thought about all this and then spoke.

"I choose to…"
