Chapter 3- For Life or Love

Inuyasha gave a great sigh from his perch in the sacred tree. Dam it!! Why the hell did I yell at her like that! It's not her fault, she was just concerned for you, and what do you do? You yell in her face, and make her feel like crap. That's a great way for you to express your feelings. I mean you love her don't you? And she obviously cares a lot for you, otherwise why would she stick around? No one's ever treated you with the kindness that she has, except for…

“Inuyasha.” The half demon was interrupted from his battle with his conscious by a voice. He leapt down from his branch. There was a woman with pale, porcelain skin, dark hair that was tied back with a ribbon. She had dark brown eyes that held no emotion. She was dressed in the traditional priestess outfit. A white flowing kimono top, and red hakama pleated pants. She smelled of death and graveyard soil.

“Kikyo.” Inuyasha breathed barley above a whisper. “What are you doing here?” He asked.

Kikyo let out a humorless laugh. “Why Inuyasha, you don't look very happy to see me. Is something troubling you?” Inuyasha let out another sigh. Kikyo's smile was replaced by an ugly scowl.

“It's that reincarnation of me, isn't it? You don't need her Inuyasha. Not when you have me.” She crept closer to Inuyasha until she was right up against him. She tilted her head up towards him, her eyes burning into his.

“She's not right for you Inuyasha. You and I are destined to be together in hell. You know it as well as I. Forget about the girl and let me bring you and the jewel to hell with me.” Inuyasha's eyes glazed over. “You are right Kikyo, I don't want Kagome. I have always loved you. I will go to hell with you, just as I promised.”

Kikyo smiled. “You have made the right choice my love. She kissed Inuyasha full on the mouth. He kissed back. As he was kissing her Inuyasha felt himself grow weaker. But he couldn't stop. What is this? I feel my energy slipping away. But I can't move. My body won't listen. Kikyo?… What is happening?

As the kiss progressed, Inuyasha grew paler, and paler, his natural color fading from his cheeks. He felt the jewel pulse and glow under his kimono. What the!? What is this?! What's up with the jewel? And why do I feel so weak? Inuyasha's mind was screaming all of these questions at him, but he could do nothing, for he was frozen in place under Kikyo's kiss.

Around the two, a portal had begun to open. Inuyasha could feel all of the energy and life from the forest being sucked into this portal. Inuyasha felt his and Kikyo's bodies glide towards the portal. I guess this is it. Ah hell, what have I got to lose? There is nothing and no one here for me, so I might as well go with Kikyo. After all, it's not as if someone else where here, wanting to be with me. I can give up my life, and go to hell with Kikyo. No one else could ever love a half demon like me… “Inuyasha!” A voice had penetrated Inuyasha's thoughts. Someone was calling him. But who? It sounded so far away, kind of muffled. “Inuyasha!” There it was again. It sounded a little closer this time.

Inuyasha began to rouse from his groggy dream like state. “Inuyasha, sleep my love, and come with me to hell.” Kikyo's whisper was in his ear. He sighed and leaned against her. He was just about to drift off again, when “INUYASHA!!” He knew that voice. That sent…jasmine and lilac, so intoxicating. “GET AWAY FROM HIM, YOU BITCH!!” Inuyasha's eyes snapped wide open.

There stood Kagome. She was dressed in a beautiful aqua colored kimono, which was decorated with lily flowers. Her dark, raven tresses blew majestically in her aura. She had an arrow knocked and ready, and it was pointed straight at Kikyo.
