Disclaimer: I do not own inuyasha. I am only renting them for about 5$/hr for story purposes.
Life is another form of reanimated Death.
Chapter 1
*Kikyo's P.O.V*
It's over. The entire ordeal is over. Those are the actual thoughts that seeped through my mind as I saw Inuyasha execute the ultimate Bakuryuuha technique on a full-youkai Naraku. I leaned against my bow, weak from the series of attacks inflicted on me. I look up at the sky and see the dark clouds begin to dissolve, a clear sign of Naraku's defeat. I looked at the aftermath: severed parts of youkai demons scattered along the ground, the sections of land painted in blood, and the group of heroes gathered around in celebration. I begin to walk towards the group, watching the monk known as Miroku, jumping around and rolling on the ground, screaming out in joy as his curse was lifted. I saw the youkai exterminator, Sango cry out tears of happiness as she hugged the revived Kohaku, courtesy of Sesshoumaru's Tensaiga. I was starting to close the distance between myself and Inuyasha when everyone began to stare at me. I ignored their glares; I didn't care what they thought, I wanted Inuyasha to die with me, to be together with my love in hell for all eternity. I stopped my movement when Inuyasha turned around and stared at me. Ah, those eyes, like topaz jewels bathed in sunlight, his magnificent silver hair being manipulated in the breeze, and the usual set of dog ears on top of his head. I spoke out softly, "Inuyasha." He answered in the same tone, "Kikyo." And started to walk closer to me. He continued, until stopping inches away from my face. I was going to speak, when suddenly, Inuyasha hugged tightly. The warmth, how I enjoyed it, and saw the painful expression of my reincarnation, Kagome. It is horrible for me to say, but I was happy knowing she was in such emotional pain. True, she did save Inuyasha's life numerous times, and was the one who taught the hanyou to trust people again, but she is just a copy of me. Who would want a copy when they can have the original?
Kagome was starting to step away from our moment, when Inuyasha said the words that shocked me beyond belief: "Kikyo, I'm sorry. I know that I promise to go to hell with you, but this is one that I have to break."
At this moment, everyone, including Kagome's, attention was one me and Inuyasha.
I stammered, "Why?"
"Kikyo..." he started, "The real Kikyo died 50 years ago. You are not the one that I knew back then. You need to rest. The realm of the dead is where you belong. Not here."
I don't know if he knew, but his words were destroying me within. I answered back, "But... Inuyasha... I love you..." And attempted to cup his cheek with my hand. However, he batted my hand away, "Kikyo, I'm sorry, I did love you, but I guess it was because I was lonely and just needed someone to talk to."
"But..."
"I love you as a friend, nothing more."
It was like a bad dream. Inuyasha is not supposed to reject me. He was supposed to say, "Ok, Kikyo I'm ready to go to hell with you." End of story. I tried to look into his eyes for any evidence of hope when I finally realized it, and said, "You love Kagome, don't you?"
My words grabbed everyone's attention, including Kagome. Inuyasha didn't answer right away, causing an uncomfortable minute of silence. Then, with a firm voice he said, "Yes Kikyo. It's true; I love Kagome with all my heart."
It took eleven words to shatter my world. I sadly responded, "But... she's just a copy--"
"No!!" Inuyasha yelled back, anger clearly noticeable in his voice, "She is not a copy! She is never you! You never accepted me as a hanyou; you wanted me to become a full-human. Kagome is different. She accepts me whether I am a hanyou or not. She is not you! I love her, not you!"
"Inuyasha..." said Kagome with tears brimming, "Is this true?"
The next few moments would have crushed my heart if I had one. Inuyasha calmly walked in front of Kagome, holding her hands, staring straight into her eyes. Inuyasha replied gently, "Yes. I love you, Kagome." Then, he cupped her chin and gave a passionate kiss.
Witnessing my hopes slowly burn into ashes, I drop to the ground on my knees, the image of the embrace still playing in my mind. At that moment, I ignored everything around me. Everything always went wrong with me. I only wanted to be a normal girl, but I ended up protecting a jewel. I wanted Inuyasha, but ended up losing him to another. Slowly, I walked away from the group, my backed turned from Inuyasha. I didn't want to see it, I didn't want to hear it, and I didn't want to be here. "Not anymore," I thought. I shut my eyes and focused. Gradually, my body began to glow blue, as one by one, the dead souls began to burst out my frame. They scattered in random directions, and soon, my knees gave up support. As I collapsed on the ground, I turned around to see Inuyasha and Kagome's shocked expression. I felt the last soul fly out and enter my reincarnation. It was done, I can finally rest. The body started to crumble into the ashes, my consciousness leaving the world.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up to find myself naked; the surroundings were as black as miasma. There was nothing, no trees, no sun, nothing. I stood up in the void, and yelled out, "Hello is anyone here?" There was no answer. My eyes quickly filled with tears as the past memories began to enter my mind. I sobbed and trembled in fear, "I am all alone." This place, absent with life, only containing pain. Then, I finally figured out where I was: I'm in hell.

Author's note: Hello, this is my first fic. I decided to write about one of my favorite Inuyasha characters. : Dodges thrown sink: Hey! This is going to be a Kikyo-centered fic, but others will soon be involved. (There will be some scenes from the later episodes of Inuyasha, so if you haven't seen It. sorry.)
