I didn't realise I let my heart become his so completely.
I didn't realise I had let this pain and torment get the better of me.
I didn't realise I let myself hope so much. Hope that he would choose me over her.
I never realised I could hate this much.
Kikyo was holding Inuyasha to her as Kagome hid behind a large tree within the forest. This was yet another scene that Kagome had to witness because of her insatiable curiosity with anything to do with the hanyou. And just lie she couldn't help but follow, her heart also couldn't help but hope. He would tell her that this was an end. He would tell her that he loved Kagome, not Kikyo. Oh how she was wrong.
"I will wish you back Kikyo. I never stopped loving you. I-" word from Inuyasha's mouth were silenced as the cold lips that belonged to an animated corpse touched his own.
"What of the reincarnation Inuyasha? What of Kagome?" Kikyo said in the same monotone that all her words were spoken.
Inuyasha felt his ears lower to his head as he thought about the one he was hurting to be here. They were the same soul so how couldn't' he love both of them. Yet there were such strong differences between them.
Kagome was full of life, she felt everything so intensely. She loved blindly and cherished all those around her. He knew she loved him but he couldn't move on to her, not when Kikyo could walk and talk and seem so real, with the only difference being her cold, hard body and her scent of graveyard soil. She was still his Kikyo.
Kagome turned and ran before she could witness the answer. She knew now that he was always going to be a friend. Not her happily ever after. So that night, she mourned the loss of her love.
She returned to camp to gather her bathing needs and went to a local hot spring they had camped near, much to the distress of her fellow travellers and close friends. Shippo merely called out to her but she couldn't respond, she wanted to have a private time to think.
Sango merely looked over to Miroku and sighed, knowing full well what had happened and praying they wouldn't lose the bubbly miko they all loved.
Inuyasha finally responded after being deep in thought. "I cant just abandon her, she is apart of you Kikyo. You both are the same soul and I wont turn my back on her."
Kikyo smiled and bid Inuyasha a good night before leaving with her soul collectors. Inuyasha dashed off back to camp only to be met with glares from all his friends. His last memory before being in darkness was an enraged Sango and a happy Shippo.
