~Chapter One~

~~A Tough Decision~~

Inuyasha was sitting by the well, alone, when Kikyo suddenly burst into the clearing. She was out of breath and seemed terrified of something. Inuyasha stood up as soon as he saw her and ran over to her. "Kikyo, what happened?" He asks as a giant soul skimmer appeared over head. "Inu…yasha" She says weakly. The souls were slowly pulled from Kikyo's body causing her to faint. Inuyasha catches her and runs back into the forest, with Kikyo in his arms. His aim was to find Kikyo a safe place to hide and then take care of the soul skimmer.

Unfortunately the giant soul skimmer followed them into the forest.

Inuyasha laid the unconscious Kikyo down under the Goshin Boku God tree and turned to face the soul skimmer. He drew the Tetsesiaga as he turned to face it. The Tetsesiaga transformed. Inuyasha took one swing at the soul skimmer and cut it in two, freeing the trapped souls. The small soul skimmers that Kikyo had with her started collecting the souls and bringing them to Kikyo

Inuyasha sheaths the Tetsesiaga and turns to face Kikyo. "Kikyo?"

"Inu…yasha? What are you doing here?" Kikyo asks him weakly.

"I was going to ask you the same thing" Inuyasha replies. He kneels down next to the still weak Kikyo.

"That demon was chasing me…" Kikyo answers.

"And you lead it here, knowing that I would protect you" Inuyasha finishes for her.

"Don't be a fool Inuyasha! I was running blindly for my life when I just happened to come upon you!" Kikyo exclaims defensively.

Inuyasha pulls back, a startled expression on his face. He looks up at the night sky. After awhile he finally finds his voice. "It's been over 50 years" He whispers.

"What's that? What are you thinking Inuyasha?" Kikyo asks him.

Inuyasha looks back at Kikyo "I was thinking that we really haven't changed that much considering 50 years have past." He explains

Kikyo looks away from his gaze "Don't talk nonsense. I've changed a lot," She looks back up at him. "Since that time, long ago, when I sealed you to this tree we're under."

"It's because of Naraku that we hated each other so much that you trapped me to this tree for 50 years and then died." Inuyasha continues the story. "Be honest Kikyo, have I really changed?" He asks her.

Kikyo sat there in silence, unable to answer his question.

"Until I had known of Naraku's existence I was burning with resentment for what you had done to me but then I remember what you told me" Inuyasha continues on "That my life was yours" He pauses "And yours was mine"

Kikyo's eyes go wide in surprise…

Inuyasha's eyes snap open and he almost falls off the branch he was laying on. He was breathing heavily. Remembering that night still reminded him of the decision he had yet to make. "I'll have to make that decision soon though" He mutters allowed to himself.

The wind began to blow. Sending his hair flying and also sending a very familiar, heavenly scent Inuyasha's way.

"INUYASHA! COME ON! WE'RE LEAVING!" A familiar voice yells at him.

Inuyasha mumbles as he jumps off the tree branch, landing near Kagome and the others. He puts his hands inside the sleeves of his Fire Rat Kimono. The Tetsesiaga secured at his waist.

Kagome has her backpack strapped to the back of her bicycle and Shippo sat in the front basket. Sango had her giant boomerang strapped to her back. She was wearing her white green and pink kimono over her battle armor. Kirara was in the basket with Shippo, sleeping. Miroku stood, leaning on his staff while they had waited for Inuyasha.

"So how was you night Inuyasha?" Kagome asks, as cheerful as ever.

Inuyasha just shrugs, refusing to say anything.

Shippo and Kagome look at each other while Miroku and Sango exchanged glances.

The group set out without another word. Inuyasha in the lead. Kagome, Shippo and Kirara right behind him and Miroku and Sango taking up the rear. No one said anything to Inuyasha. Just by the expression on his face they could tell he didn't want to be bothered.
