Forever Lost

~ Chapter One ~

Downward Spiral

By Inuyashas Youkai

' Throughout life a piece of our hearts are freely given to those we choose to possess it .Is there ever a time when too much of it is parted away with nothing in return to keep it warm ,and sheild it enough to ensure it's next beat ,or become's cold with darkness to where there's nothing left ..'

Frozen in time , those images splayed in front of those twin , teary chocolate hued , orbs of light. As the scene held her captive , stilled by the painstakenly wretched heartache, and trapping her to continue to see the truth with her own two eyes. Tears collected within them but never fell for the fault was truly hers forever thinking otherwise. Those words spoken by the soft ways of the normally irritable hanyou, one's only she could dream was meant for her but with the exception of the few times when due to injury , or his human night, never were those words ever bestowed on her. Now she new why , and she knew the truth with nothing to sugar coat it ..Inuyasha had chosen her.

" Kikyo , it's always been you ..I only want you...I never forgot you even for a second"

"W hat about my incarnation, Kagome?"

"I told you I only need her to help her locate the shards and for the final battle of Naraku"

"I could..."

"No ! I will not have you fight anymore , that's why I have Kagome . I will not have him hurt you anymore"

"So you will have Kagome fight a battle for a cause that wasn't her's in the first place in order to keep me safe? Does she know you are only keeping her her here to use her?"

"Look it can't be helped ..Nothing will happen to Kagome and she will be able to go back to her own time as you will be able to return to me .."

"Do you know Inuyasha without me passing on , because she is my incarnation , Kagome will not exist.."

Once the forced will of heart causing the innocent bystander to watch , and continued to be held still by a now unknown force , could presently feel her control of her legs to move , Kagome began to move. Quietly but quickly stepping through the underbrush to escape from everything reminding her of why the tightening of her chest convulsed painfully still. The girl left in a daze , never hearing the calls of her name to stop , nor the evil cackle's traveling forth behind her , and tinkling on deaf ears , as she ran passed..

" Kagome !"

"Kukukukukuku..."

Finally reaching the well , and without stopping the woman threw herself over the well , while in mid flight tossing the necklace to the ground ,before being caught by the blue tendrils of light that would bring her back for the last time, through the well to her time. Once on the other side , on a accord that wasn't her own , a burst of light exploded forth , and shattered against the well in flickers of thunderous power , thus sealing the well , before she fell unconscious. Darkness wrapped around her then , answering her submissive call to relinquish the ties that once bound her to the life she once knew, knowing that she would never remain the same..

~Devastation Awaits~

Five Hundred some years in the past , a human male thrown to his knees in front of the cherished well , one that brought one of his loved possessions to him, now gone. Kagome was now out of his reach to him now for the well was now sealed , and the worst part was the hanyou , now human because of the calling of a new moon night, didn't know why she left him. Kagome promised him that she would always stay with him, and for some reason now she was not .

For all he knew was he rushed to her after being roused from his spot in a nearby tree by the salt that was her's , and without stopping , Kagome jumped into the well for good. Never to return with the shikon jewel left behind ,torn from her neck with her flesh and blood in small increments still clinging on the simple cord ..Tears flowed from the darkened orbs of their natural amber hues, as the hanyou clung to her strong but slowly fading scent that was purely Kagome..

The funny thing was where he had found her at first before she ran was the exact place where the hanyou had met up with Kikyo earlier that night ..Running through what he and the dead priestess Kikyo, talked about once a thought occured to him.

' Could she have been there watching like she once had in the past..Was there anything I said that made her leave?'

~Memories with Kikyo~

"Kikyo.."

"Inuyasha .."

"I see you have chosen .."

"I have , but I never forgot you even for a second ,and I won't ever ..I will revenge your death , Kikyo but I want Kagome.. I love Kagome , but I will always love you Kikyo , even if I chose Kagome I will always remember you ..I only want your soul to rest in peace , as now you are dead , and there's no chance for us any longer ..Even if we do go to hell together it doesn't mean we will stay together when your soul will go to Kagome , and I will be once again alone.. I just can't do it Kikyo..I am sorry.."

"I figured as much that my incarnation would turn you against me , and make you leave me I should've killed her when I had the chance , stupid wretch!"

"Don't ever! She did no such thing , actually Kagome was the complete opposite Kikyo , only wanting my happiness, and accepting whatever that meant for me...Kagome loved me for who I am ,not for who I wasn't , and I will do the same for her even if she doesn't know the truth , or if that leaves me alone with her on the other side.I will wait for her until I met her again if the well rejects me , or she is taken back to her time , and then make her my mate. You even touch my intended in any way it won't ,matter how I once loved you because my demon side won't even hesitate in killing you fot taking away it's life mate ..For your safety and my sanity please don't , I don't want that fate for you , Kikyo.."

" Than this is goodbye Inuyasha , for that I cannot promise you ..From this moment on we are enemies hanyou for my hate within my soul cannot accept anything but my redemption , and to take back what it belives is mine..."

"I am sorry that it has to be that way but if that's the way you want it so be it.. Goodbye Kikyo.."
