A/N: A short bit of prose I decided to fix up after forever.
Hope you enjoy.
Disclamer: Neither Inuyasha nor any of the borrowed characters belong to me.
Kikyo's Lament
During evening in a wood, I gave a kiss to make a spell,
For vengeance on the one I hate, to drag my hanyou down to hell.
.
A caressing hand and a cold lip touch, a subtle whispered call
Completion of a pact I made, ignore the world and with me fall.
.
But before completion was achieved, the peace was broken by her voice.
And as I watched their gazes meet I knew then he faced a choice.
.
Stay with her, or come with me, my shadow's voice spoke not a word.
But only sat and watched us both with tearing eyes and barely stirred.
.
But, when she later saved me she said I must hold on,
Or the one that we both loved would cry when I was gone.
.
It is difficult to understand how blinded she can be
That the one our hanyou truly loves is her, and no longer me.
.
He protects her with his very life and by his side she stays
Doesn't she see he always returns, when from her he has strayed?
.
Who will be left at the bitter end? Will I be held in any heart?
I only know she's what he wants, so let nothing keep them apart.
.
My shadow and my double, the face that we must share,
Hides the differences in us but is a mask that we both wear.
.
