Tonight is the night of the new moon. The sun is about to set. Inuyasha search around for a safe place to hide. Tonight is the night he lost all his demonic power and turns into mere mortal. Then he saw the purifying light, along came the smell of blood. Demon blood.

He came to the place, in the middle of the clearing stood a human woman, surrounded by the corpse of demon. Inuyasha kept himself hidden on the tree, as the sun vanish, and give way to the night. "How long do you intend to hide from me up there? Are you after the sacred jewel too?" those were the first conversation between them. The day Inuyasha met Kikyou. The day that their fate entangle.

From that day, Kikyou know that she will face an unnatural death. She, a priestess chosen to protect and purify the sacred jewel had to stay without doubt and weakness. A human that cannot be human.

Once fall in love, her fate is seal. The moment her heart fell for Inuyasha, she knows that nothing good will come of it. But human, they will never give up hope even when their effort is futile. That is what make human, a human. At last she died at the hand of the half-demon name Onigumo. And with her, the sacred jewel is burn and ceases to exist.

Kikyou

If I am to be reborn, I wish that I will be able to lead a normal live, like a normal girl. A live where I am free to love and to be loved.

After 495 years…

Kikyou walk pass the Higurashi shrine on her usual jogging route. Something about this place is calling to her. "Kagome, be careful. Don't go running around you little girl." A ball comes rolling down the step from the shrine. Kikyou pick the ball up and walk up to the shrine. Smiling, she hands over the ball to the little girl. "Thank you miss… mm… You are beautiful. "Then the little girl runs away giggling. Kikyou just smile. Something about that girl, something..

Kikyou is a normal high school student with excellent achievement. She excel in her academic and exceptionally good in archery. She also took martial art lesson. Her family is just another average family. Her father is archaeologist. Her mother is a housewife. She is the only child in the family. Yet she always felt that something is amiss. As if she had to do something. It felt like she had left out something that is very important to her. Something that makes her whole, that makes her Kikyou.

Kikyou had always like being around the girls, and that is the reason why she had enrolls into an all girls school. Even so, she had so many admire from the neighboring school. She sometimes hate the guts of those boys who like to pop out of nowhere and ask her out on a date acting like they know her. That is why Kikyou start taking martial art. Sometime, her admire become a creepy stalker and she had to defend herself against their assault.

Among her pursuer, there is a persistent boy called Onigumo. The boy is so persistent that it get to her nerve. She despises him more than anyone else. It always felt like he had an evil aura of some sort. She does not know how to explain it, but she always had a good intuition. Since her childhood, she can somehow perceive others true nature, and Onigumo is evil to the very core of it.
