"Sit boy!" I cried out in desperation. Please let this work! If it didn't, then Inuyasha would-

"Kagome!" I think it was Miroku who called out my name... But my train of thought was cut off by none other than Inuyasha. The worst thing was happening. He had transformed into his full demon. There was nothing I could do to stop him. His eyes were red, and filled with blood lust. Blue pupils stared at me through once snow white bangs, now brown, crusted with dry blood.

"Inu.. yasha..." I could barely manage to say his name. His claw was through my stomach, and I could feel the blood slowly oozing out of the wound. It was fatal, no doubt. "Please... remember who... who you are..." I manged. When I first met him, Inuyasha would enjoy doing this to me, but now, when he woke up, and saw what he had done? He would never forgive himself. He didn't reply though. Not that he didn't want too, but he couldn't really. He was only capable of snarls and grunts, and laughter of satisfaction after killing some poor soul.

Sango came up to Inuyasha, wielding her katana. She tried to hit him, most likely to make him release me. He dropped me on the ground, and soon Sango joined me there. "Kagome..." She breathed. "What can we do? I don't think he'll be coming out of this one..."

"San...go... We need to... seal him again..." It was the sad truth. We had to seal Inuyasha once more, but was I really able to do it in this state? He grinned down at our crippled bodies... But averted his attention else where when a top hit him square in the head. It was Shippo, in a desperate attempt to save us. He looked up fearlessly at Inuyasha, but one move made him cower in fear.

"Don't worry Kagome! I-I can handle him!" I loved the little kitsune so much... I only hope he could come out of this alive.

"Shippo... please run..." I manged to say. I was losing consciousness quickly, I had to act fast. Shippo did as told, and Inuyasha went charging after him. Against all the pain, I managed to sit up, and tie a bandage around the wound to give me more time. I slowly stood up, and searched the area for my bow. It was several feet away, I hope I could make it...

"Kagome... what are you doing?" Sango weakly cried. I looked down at her, and gave her a sad smile.

"I-I can't let this happen Sango... I need to stop him..." I was gaining some of my strength, my miko powers were most likely trying to heal the wound.

"I trust you Kagome... you'll do whats right..." She closed her eyes. I prayed to Kami that she wasn't dead, but moved onward. I limped over to my bow, and picked it up. I looked to where Shippo had taken Inuyasha. Shippo was currently clasped in Inuyasha's fist, turning blue from the lack of air. I rushed to action, and shot an arrow at his fist. In the surprise of the attack, he let go of Shippo, who was able to scurry to safety. He looked at me and growled. He raised his blood stained nails and sprinted at me, much to fast for me to escape. I did something, but I don't know what. Out of instinct I suppose, I held my palms out in front of me in defense. When he was in arms length, a pink light blasted from them, causing him to fly back. I looked from my hands to Inuyasha in shock. How did that happen? I shrugged it off and pulled out another arrow.

"Let's hope my aim is true..." What was fate such a cruel woman? Why is it that Inuyasha is always made to suffer? "You know, I guess I am really Kikiyo's reincarnation..." I chuckled. We were in the clearing where me first met, where he was once sealed. He stood up, grunting in some incoherent way. He looked at me for a moment, maybe remembering who he once was? I lowered my bow a bit, but he was not coming back to me.

"Inuyasha, you don't know how sorry I am for having to do this... but it's the only way! Time will always repeat itself..." I arched the arrow I thought I would never have to use. Kikiyo gave it to me, saying the day would come when I would need it.

"Inuyasha, you are not the one I wish to speak with. I need to talk to my reincarnation, Kagome. Please come out." How did she know I was watching?

"Uhh... Hey Inuyasha..."

"Kagome! I well uhh..."

"Inuyasha, could you please leave us to speak alone? I need to tell Kagome something."

"Sure Kikiyo.. I guess." Inuyasha jumped away, leaving me alone with Kikiyo. I wasn't frightened at all, just nervous. What did she want with me?

"Kagome... Inuyasha has come to care very much for you, and I know you feel the same for him. But alas, as you are my reincarnation, your love was not meant to be."

"I well... but...but..." I was a broken record. What she said made since. She and I were one the same, so if she could not make it with Inuyasha, what luck did I have?

"Do not worry though. He will find happiness one day. Kami can give give one soul so much pain until she has a dept to pay them. But that is not why I came here... You must take this." She turned to her quiver of arrows and pulled out a normal looking one, only it had a sutra tied around it, glowing with a faint, pure aura.

"Huh? Kikiyo, what is this for?"

"You will know when the day comes Kagome. You can not hesitate to use it then. Everything will be ruin of you do..."

Yes, this was the day she spoke of that evening. I knew what to do... " I love you so much Inuyasha, but this has to be..." We were dead alined with the scared tree. Everything was falling into place. History was repeating itself for the worse it seemed. I released the hold on the arrow without another thought. Anything else may have stopped me from shooting him. It struck him through the chest, and he was anchored to the Scared Tree. I slowly walked to him, his demon form was gone, and he lie on the tree, a bloodied mess, but sleeping so peacefully like when I first saw him. I removed his rosary, and replaced it with the Shikon No Tama. It would act as his protector, and he its. I placed his old Rosary in my pocket, something I could remember him by...

"Good bye Inuyasha. I will always love you..." I closed my eyes, and granted myself the sleep I would never wake from. My last thought were of him, the one man I was bound to love...

"Momma no! Please don't die...!" Shippo was my last sight, sound and memory as I drifted away. I was so sorry I had to leave him parent less again... 'Good bye Shippo...' I thought, because I was too far gone to speak.
