She probably wouldn't have -- she really doesn't want to die, and she's really not invested in the Personae's agenda, either. On the other hand, Mal is in the book, so she wouldn't have wanted to sacrifice those people either. It would have been a dilemma! I think in the end she would have wanted to live the most, though. Inara is someone who's willing to risk her life for a cause she believes in, but as I see it, she's not someone who's likely to lay her life down for a cause she is deeply dubious of, although the idea that she was killing Mal miiiiight be enough to pull her the other way, at least to the point that she'd eventually go along with it if she was in a self-sacrificing sort of crowd.

Talk to me about Neji and touch/affection some more! Will he ever get used to it from anyone?
