Through the Eyes of the Betrayed

An InuYasha FanFic

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha!

Chapter One: Boulevard of Lost Memories

My sandal-donned feet made the fallen leaves crackle beneath them. Walking alone, as if I was a wondering soul, always made me feel empty inside. How could anyone be so cruel as to turn on me, for her? What have I done wrong, but be fooled by his evil actions, over fifty years ago?

I look up to see my ghostly soul collectors gliding above my head through the branches of the haunted looking trees. I close my eyes for a moment and stop as I breathe in the cold autumn's air.

Visions of that dreaded day when all love was lost. My very first demise and yes I am still here.

I skipped towards the sacred tree, our meeting place. I was giggling, holding the swinging Shikon No Tama. "Inuyasha?" I called out, a grin taking up over half of my face. I heard his voice ring out behind me. It was different, and strangely so.

There was no music to the way his voice sounded then, I should have known something was wrong. Most times it sounded so melodic, like the most wonderful song you'd ever heard, and it made my heart pound. I loved Inuyasha's voice; it made me feel more blissful than when I was doing what I loved most: archery.

His voice was angry. My flash back paused, and then started again, where I was lying on the ground.

I was covered on my right side with blood, from Inuyasha's claws. I winced as I tried to reach for the Shikon No Tama, but his bare foot slammed down onto my hand, making me groan in pain. His heated words were spoken, but the memories were too painful to recite his verbal daggers without making me weep out into the empty night air.

After he had left, I furiously got up to search for him. My hatred was so strong, I was able to walk onwards being fueled by it, and it alone, even with my severe injuries. Inuyasha was looking for me, that bastard acting like he was clueless. He was playing the fool when really he was playing me for a fool. I called out, loathsome venom dripping from his name. He turned to face me as I pulled back my arrow.

The arrow became enclosed in light pink spiritual energy as I released the end and it shot off towards its mark. The arrow pierced him to the tree and I fell to my knees. The last thing I had remembered was watching his hand reach out to grab empty air seeing as he could not reach me, as his eyes closed. He looked betrayed. I was the one betrayed,I was the one who got attacked by him, and I was the innocent one! Wasn't I?

My little dark haired sister Kaedae came running up to my side, her black eye patch marking one of my many mistakes in this lifetime. I handed her the Sacred Jewel, and told her to burn it with my body. Then I was lost for over 50 years….

Tears stung my eyes as I silently cried, too prideful to utter a sob. I would swallow up the cries that wanted to radiate from my heart out my mouth, and just let the hot salty liquid drip from my lids. The only way I was able to be here now, standing on the solid ground, over the fallen browning leaves of the season post summer, was because I lived off of the souls of the dead.

It still hurts also, to think that everyone is against me because of that Kagome girl, which if it wasn't for me dying, she would have never been born as my reincarnation. Everyone thinks I am the bad person, and even though Inuyasha still returns to me, he always breaks my heart more when he leaves with that modern girl.

It hurts to know that by some unfortunate turn of events, I lost Inuyasha, seemingly forever. It is that entire girl Kagome's fault too, because if it weren't for her always interrupting our time alone and making him run after her, he would probably be mine by now.

I just don't understand why I am the one blamed. It was Naraku who torn me and my Hanyou love apart. Since I am back, why are things suddenly different? Why am I the bad person for trying to get back the one my heart yearns for? It was not my fault we were separated in the first place.

Inuyasha, my love, I hope our paths cross again, and if they do I will show you how much I really love you. And I will get you back, no matter what.

A/N: Ok guys this is my first fanfic on this website, took me forever to figure out how everything works on here. Ok, this idea just randomly came to me, throughout almost all of the fanfics I've read, I've noticed that Kikyou almost always seemed to be the bad guy, or the *insert insult here*, when really if you look at the show very closely, she really did nothing wrong. It wasn't her fault that Naraku split them up, and she has every right to try and get him back.

Now I myself had been a Kikyou hater, now this does not mean I am now a lover either, I still prefer Inuyasha with Kagome, but this story is about proving a point and no one said she was going to end up with him. You will just have to keep reading to see, now won't you? *grins evilly*
