Kagome's Instinctive Choice

It is Kochou and Asuka who bring Kagome to a waterfall where the body of Kikyo is suspended. Being that she is the only person who must save Kikyo before dusk, Kagome chooses to save Kikyo, purifying her spirit of the miasma. Kagome witnesses a vision of the events leading to the death of Kikyo at the hands of Naraku, being tricked into sealing Inuyasha to the Sacred Tree. Though Kikyo has revived, she does not return her thanks for the decision Kagome made. The barrier dissipates allowing Inuyasha's group to find an irritated Kagome. Inuyasha learns from Kagome that Kikyo has been purified, urging him to go after her. However, he refuses saying that Kikyo is probably fine.
