Kikyo slumped to the ground
they were dead
Inu Yasha lay feet from her
his silver hair and tensisiga blood stained
Kagome let out a gentle sob and fell to the ground next to the one she loved
Miroku lay not far away with Sango on his chest while a faithful Kerara tried to awaken her dead master
Shippo lay sprawled on his back
his frail body doused in blood
Naroku had died months previous
Kaede came and knelt next to her elder sister
Kikyo put her face in her hands and cried
he had not killed her
he would not kill her
she had killed the only one she had ever truly loved
lost souls were no longer enough to supply her
her mission was now complete
