Chapter three.

First of all I'd like to thank my reviewers,

Inu-stacy: My first reviewer, glad u like the story and I hope this update is fast enough for u. Please review again to let me know what u think.

Fluffylover: My second reviewer, I don't agree with what u think. Kikyou wanted to change him, true, but u r forgetting that he was ready to change for her. I think that just about shows how much he loved her or how much he thought he loved her. I ask u, if u changed urself for someone, u would have a solid reason behind that won't u? He was willing to change because he loved her, u wouldn't change urself until u loved or cared for someone. Well this argument can go on forever. Well whatever. I appreciate that u took the time to read my story. I really really appreciate it and I thank u for reviewing. I would like u to review once more to let me what u think. Okay? And ur other question of this being InuKag or not, well I am not answering that. But I'll tell u this much that if u read this I am sure it will be to ur liking.

Xcloudx: I am seeing that a lot of people don't like me writing 'u' or 'r', well sorry to hear that but it takes less time and is easy, but whatever, I liked that you read my story and took time to write a review. Thanks.

IamHermioneGranger: Good to hear that you like the story. I am going to get rid of Kikyou soon so don't worry about her being in the story for long.

Inu-girl 101: Okay and I updated, is this soon enough? I know that Kikyou is supposed to be cold hearted and all but I wanted to give her a character, feelings and everything just to spice it up.Well hope u like it.

Bettychan: Too bad, but hey everyone has their own opinion, so no problem but thanks for reading anyway.

Nick Johnson: First of all u ask a lot of questions, but I'll gladly answer them for you, 1- Fanfic about Kagome fighting for her life because Kikyou stole her soul. Inuyasha deciding between Kagome's death and Kikyou's life. 2- After their search for the jewel shards, they come to rest for a while in the village, that when. 3-It's near Kaede's village.4-Same as the series.5-Just him and Kagome, Miroku and Sango and Shippo r elsewhere. Does that just about answers ur questions? Hope so, well feel free to ask more if u want.

Well thank you my readers. And thanks for reviewing. And those who haven't reviewed, I'd like to know ur opinions.

He turned around to see her, smiling lovingly at him. She looked stunning in the moonlight. Breathtaking. He could give anything to have her back. Without him even realizing it, a smile crossed his face. She came forward and touched his cheek. This time, it wasn't a cold touch, this time he could feel her, she was warm, he could touch her, he could feel her just like he could touch and feel Kagome? Wait where did that come from. Kikyou is alive and Kagome…

He moved closer to her, she still smelled like clay and the smell kept reminding Inuyasha of the fact that she was dead. He pulled her into a warm comforting embrace. She wrapped herself around him, hiding her from all the world, all the troubles, he was protecting her, he was her angel. (Inuyasha angel?)

She felt so good, almost like she was alive, he lifted her off the ground and carried her bridal style and started to go towards a stream flowing near by. Kikyou always loved to sit by the stream and look at the stars. Kagome did too.

He sat her down, he felt so relieved to feel her warmth again that he completely forgot about his friend suffering for her life in a hut nearby. She laid her head on his shoulders, he played with her hair. She let out a sigh and he looked at her

" What is it?"

" Why?"

" Why what?"

" I can feel u r still worried about her."

" Huh? No I am not."

" Don't lie Inuyasha."

" Feh"

" Don't feh me look me in the eye and tell the truth."

He looked at her, seeing her reminded him of Kagome. He felt so at loss. He didn't know what to do. He was torn in between the two women he most loved and cared about.

He got up and started to leave.

" Sit."

He expected to be plummeted to the ground when he heard the s word, but it never happened and then he remembered that only Kagome's voice could punish him. He was mildly surprised but then eventually collected himself and sat next to her. The smell of clay and grave hadn't left her, it was a harsh reminder to him that she was dead. They sat for about an hour looking at the stars and thinking about their past, of all the times they had.

" I don't know why but I couldn't get it." Kikyou said almost talking to herself. He did not interrupt.

" I couldn't get it out, I tried but it just stayed, nothing I could do, nothing, I don't know what to do." She let out a sigh, seeing her in a state like this made him uncomfortable so he asked what she was talking about, she answered him, " Her soul, a part of her wouldn't surrender itself to me, I would have been alive if I got that part completely. I wonder why she wouldn't give that part up to me." Inuyasha looked at her and though he didn't speak, his mind was speaking loud and clear, Kagome is fighting death, Kikyou is here, I love them both, love them? Both? Kikyou I do but do I love Kagome? Her soul is with Kikyou and to retrieve it I have to kill her, I can't do this, I really can't. I am sorry Kagome. I am really sorry. But I promised her I would protect her always.' His thoughts stopped and another made its way, Kagome's voice ringing in his head, u promised me that too, u said u'd protect me from everything, everyone, forever. He shook the thoughts away and looked at the one sitting beside him. She stood up, he did too and they both started to walk hand in hand deep into the forest.

Is Inuyasha really with Kikyou, did he forget Kagome? Keep reading to find out more.
