This article studies the decoherence induced on a system of two qubits by local interactions with a spin chain with nontrivial internal dynamics (governed by an XY Hamiltonian). Special attention is payed to the transition between two limits: one in which both qubits interact with the same site of the chain and another one where they interact with distant sites. The two cases exhibit different behaviours in the weak and strong coupling regimes: when the coupling is weak it is found that decoherence tends to decrease with distance, while for strong coupling the result is the opposite. Also, in the weak coupling case, the long distance limit is rapidly reached, while for strong coupling there is clear evidence of an expected effect: environment-induced interactions between the qubits of the system. A consequence of this is the appearance of quasiperiodic events that can be interpreted as ``sudden deaths'' and ``sudden revivals'' of the entanglement between the qubits, with a time scale related to the distance between them.
