"Inuyasha. I was so hoping that you would come. I've decided that it is time for you to choose in order to make your life even more miserable. Although I am evil enough to do this for my own entertainment, I am doing this to pay you back for all of the difficulties that you have caused me. On the left I have Kikyo who is dying from the lack of her soul collectors and also due to the spiritual powers that I consumed from her in my cave. On the right I have Kagome who for some annoying reason was not affected by the cave but who will be killed should I drop her. It is now time for you to choose: Kikyo or Kagome? Whom should live and whom should die?"

Naraku smirked as he saw the half-demon's eyes widen and then darken with hatred. He wouldn't dare attack him while he had both women for fear of hurting them: his old love and his new. Love was a wasted emotion and it caused for stupid decisions. However, he was happy for it because it gave him leverage and a way to torment the half-demon who was one of his greatest adversaries.

The other thing was that Naraku had raised a barrier to keep the Monk and demon slayer out. There was no way for Inuyasha to be able to save both. As soon as he recognized that, the despair will destroy him. He chuckled with pleasure.

"My my what are you going to do Inuyasha?" Naraku sneered at him as the young half-demon looked around for his companions. "Haha don't waste your time looking for your companions, I have a barrier to keep the Demon Slayer and the Monk out. It is just you, me and the two Miko's. Make a decision, I am growing impatient."

"Naraku!" Kagome's voice rung out from his right. "This is beyond evil and I pray for the day that you die. Your evil is truly a taint that must be removed from this Earth! Inuyasha, take good care of Sango, Shippo and Miroku. I hope that you…that you enjoy the rest of your days with Kikyo. I know what your decision is, even if you do not!"

She had taken Kikyo's arrow and bow because they seemed heavy for the other Miko and they were still strung around her shoulders. She reached behind her, grabbed an arrow and stabbed it into Naraku's tentacle. It dissolved away from his body, releasing her.

"No" Naraku yelled as she started falling. He wasn't going to have this ruined by anybody. Inuyasha had to choose himself. As he reached to grab her with more of his tentacles, she shot an arrow up at him, dissolving them as the purity of her power touched them. Kikyo was unharmed.

"Kagome!" He heard as he saw Inuyasha's eyes follow the young Miko's flight down into the village.
