Well no one told me about her
the way she lies She lay in my hands, bloody, beaten, and dead. I couldn't believe what was in front of me; I was waiting to wake up. This was a dream, no a nightmare, of some sort, and I would awake. My hands buried into her hair, and my face pressed onto her, my trembling lips letting little noises out. Little noises of anguish and despair. The winter wind whipped around us, her pale skin reflecting the snow. Her skin, so flawless, it outshone the snow surrounding it. Or it would have. Bright red blood harden the snow, melted it place here and there, her white skin caked with frozen stiff blood that was all her own. Her face barely recognizable, her long jet-black hair stuck together here and there. Who would do this? Who could do this to such… a beautiful and gentle person? I let out a sob I had been holding, as long as I didn't cry I could still play make believe. "So, Inuyasha-kun, do you like?" A sharp voice asked, the man presenting himself. He hid behind a heavy baboon pelt, and all I could do was stare. I was too stuck with anger, with hate and sorrow to even move, I needed time. "Why did you?" I managed to ask, I wanted to kill him but I wanted to know why just as badly. "I didn't, but I can help you" He said, stepping slowly forward, his pelt riding over the frozen blood ice. "How?" I asked, willing to hear anything to bring her back, to keep her near once again, to hold her while warm. "Simple, the Shikon-no-Tama is all I need, and I need it stained black with hate, with innocence, and Kikyou will live again, she'll look like before" He said, leaning downwards, running his finger across Kikyou's bear arm, the sleeve of her outfit ripped off. I stared at him, and then at Kikyou. She had risked her life for that jewel; pledge to keep it away from danger, to keep it pure. Could I trade it to such an evil looking man, one with an aura too strong, too malicious. "You do need to kill her littler sister, however, then I swear I'll bring Kikyou back without any memory of Keade, or her death" He said and continued to play with Kikyou's fingers.
"I can't kill Keade, I won't let you have the jewel" I said and tears rolled down my cheeks. Damn, why did they have to overflow then? He looked up, but I couldn't really see his eyes, and smiled at me. He stood up and turned "Very well, but you let Kikyou remain dead, remember this, Inuyasha-kun. Farewell" He said then suddenly turned around. "Oh and if you change your mind, stick the jewel in the young one's neck, and return here with it, I'll be watching the village tonight, and only tonight, near the well. Farewell" He said and suddenly was gone.
I stared at Kikyou, and held her hand in mine.. "Kikyou, can you see me now? Would you want life with me, or the purity of the Shikon jewel?" I asked and the lifeless body remained limp, unanswering. Would I kill Keade to be with Kikyou? Would I be able to life with myself? I reached into Kikyou's top, and there lay the Shikon-no-Tama. Why kill her without taking the Jewel? I picked her up, holding the body in my arms as I walked back to my house. That was one of the saddest things, holding my love's dead body while I took her back to my place, knowing she won't move ever again. No one told me about her, how many people cried
I sat leaning on the rock wall, the cave offering little warmth. Kikyou lay across me, a blanket covering her. I wondered why I even brought her back with me, why I didn't just bury her back there. I stared outside, trying to blame it on the snowfall, which was too light to actually stop me from doing anything. The image of Kikyou's death played in my head, as if I was there.
I could only imagine what some sick demon, or worse yet a murderous male, did to her before she died. I could picture all too clearly, step by step. I never saw someone get tortured to death, yet I was able to picture it visibly in my mind. Night was to end soon, and I wondered if that man's deal was still up.
Shaking my head, I stood up and started walking towards the village, the shikon-no-tama buried in my top. I could feel invisible hands pushing me, holding me back from doing what I was thinking. They were strong hands, cold as the snow, solid as steel. Keeping my eyes closed, using only my nose, I found Kikyou's hut quickly. I'm sure Keade is asleep now, she has to be, after looking for her lost sister all night. I pull back the straw mat, making little noise but Keade wasn't asleep. "Kikyou?" She screamed, and I feel her hug my legs before searching in the dark and lighting a fire.
Her face holds a slight twinge of disappointment when I stand before her, but she hides is well. "Inuyasha-kun, I'm sorry, I thought you were-" Stab. Without open eyes I stab her. Get it over quick, quickly so I can leave as soon as possible. "Inu?" She asks, and I can feel her hug me weakly, most likely trying to push away but too weak. My claws stay dug in her while she inhales and exhales, and we stay like this for some time, me leaned down with claws in her gut, her hunched over, both of us too shocked to move, both too hurt.
She lets out one last gasp, and I open my eyes too soon to see her staring at them, water pouring from her eyes, asking what her mouth could not. 'Why Kikyou?' 'What did I do?' 'I loved you… so much, didn't you love me?' I'm unable to move even as she slides off my claws, and I just stay there, leaning and on one knee. I next part is a blur, I don't even remember sticking the jewel in her neck and leaving, but the only time I snap back to reality is when I'm staring at the man checking over the jewel.
"I'm surprised you actually did it Inuyasha-kun" He says and pulling his hand, along with the jewel, back into the pelt. "Well, like I said," He muttered, indifferent to the situation, and moving to the side, Kikyou behind him and cleaned up "here is Kikyou". This night has taken so much out of me I can barely run to her, and when I do I'm sure I look strange as my legs wobble. I stumble down beside her, shaking her with all I can, repeating her name in a frenzy, her eyes lids opening to reveal blank eyes. I turn slowly around, and I can hear a faint laugh coming from the man, or demon, and suddenly it hits me what a trick this was. "We agreed alive, you never saying moving, talking, living sort of alive" He said, satisfied with his ploy.
I was suddenly hit with a type of anger that has never surged in me before, I'm beyond control. "Her soul reincarnated into someone out there already, that woman had no real sins to pay for in the after life" He snickers, "go find her soul lil' doggy". I'm sure my screams can be heard across the world, and rage unsustainable. I make a leap at him, which he ducks easily, swallowing the jewel as a whole. I had to kill him before it combined with his blood and became part of him, before he became all-powerful. My body feels different, my claws have grown, my fangs longer and I can't think.
I leap at him, cutting him on the arm. He moves. I hit him in the leg. Blood. Blood everywhere. Kill. I chase in till he smacks into a tree. Blood. His blood. Open stomach pouring out his insides. More blood. Metallic tasting, tastes good. His body being torn, more red liquid everywhere, its real warm compared to the snow. It feels nice.
I come to sometime in the morning, and the jewel rest under a heaping pile of torn skin, broken bones, browning red blood. I can't even tell if this is that man or someone else. I can't even tell if its human or not. I'm completely covered in blood, and part of… I don't even know hang from under my claws and in between my teeth. I see kneecaps thrown into the tree, a foot resting beside me, birds flying overhead and waiting for me to leave. I stand up, taking the jewel and rushing towards Kikyou.
She hasn't moved, but her fair skin is back, she looks perfect like before. I hug her instantly, forgetting about the blood on me. "Don't worry Kikyou, I'll find your soul, I'll bring you back somehow. I have too"
